hi Rachel! I’m to excited not to share, so guess what?! I had my mom order the Grogu decal crewneck from your Etsy shop for me as a Christmas gift this year!! I’m so excited bc I love anything Grogu related and also I have been wanting to support you by ordering from your shop (and other small businesses on Etsy as well). So yeah, I’m super excited now!
Ah! I'm so excited for you! I actually cut the vinyl for your order today; you're the first person to order that specific crewneck in a LONG time - it's one of my favrites, so I'm sad more people aren't enjoying it. Thank you (and your mom!) so much for your order. I always love it when people I know end up buying and using the stuff we make - it's a really cool thing to have happen. I hope you love it, and I hope it's comfortable and I hope every time you look down and see the little green bean you smile. I know I speak for all small businesses when I say that every single order is VERY MUCH appreciated. There are so many options for people like you to choose from, and every purchase that isn't made to a big box store or through a place like Amazon is a HUGE deal.

Sci Fi Month 4:April and the Extraordinary World
For the next review of Sci Fi Month ,I shall look at an animated film that is a Franch/Belgium / Canadian co production:April and the Extraordinary World.Also it is the English version I watched ,but used the frenchpostercuasethats theone Icouldfind
Tumblr media
This 2015 film takes place in an alternate history of 1941 where a majority of the leading scientists have dispeared or are forced to build weapons for the French government for a war between France and America over resources ,leaving the world still in the steam age ,where April Franklin (Angela Galuppo),lastin a line of scientists has found a serum ,and is now the target of both a disgraced cop Gaspar Pizoni (Paul Giamatti ).....And the two figures (Susan Sarrandon and JK SImmons ) responsible for the kidnapped scientists
I had a lot offun with this .Alternate histories are fun and I am a sucker for steampunk .The animation is great ,good forboth action and comedy ,with some great vehical designs and theconcept for the villains are very unique ,visuallly and conceptually
The characters are solid ,all archetypes but solid one ,April as someone who is desperately trying to hang onto the past (Be it being in denile about how ill her cat Darwin is or trying to find her lost family ) to the exclusion of anything new ,Julius is the conartist who works for Pizoni but fallsfor April ,Pizoni is the soewhat comedic foil detrermined to relive hisformer glory ,and Darwin is a talking cat (Due to an experiment ) who tries to nudge April and Julius together .My favrite characters I cant talk about ,and that the antagonists,all I will say is they are a couple who have diffrent goals ,one well intentioned the other is a bit more bloodthirsty .Also Aprils family arealso very interesting
Voice cast is solid ,mix of Canadian actors and Hollywood celebs ,I think the best performances go to Tony Hale (Darwin), JK Simmons and Susan Sarrandon (As the antagonists ).Thereare some joke and lines that didntwork,that felt likedubisms but I am not sure .Most of the humor worked though
Overall I had a lotoffunwith thisfilmand it is agem that I think is worth a watch

31 for the OC asks?
31. Pick one OC of yours and explain what their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything really)
Okay so if I put Glenn into a modern au he would still be using a nokia from like 2004 so he does not Get social media. His layout would be the standard one with the white background, maaaybe with a blurry profile picture but his blog title is still lorem ipsum.
I think he'd reblog like aesthetic pictures maybe? Of like coffee or buildings or places he'd been to once. Maybe some vintage picture things like vintage tattoos! And then stuff like 4 post notes that say something like 'did you know the peacock mantis shrimp can whip out these appendages at speeds of 23 m/sec (75 ft/sec). That's 50 times faster than the blink of an eye, or about the same as the trajectory of a .22 calibre bullet – and with a force some 100 times that of its weight? Just thought that was interesting.'
And of course he'd post pictures of himself with the caption 'me and my best friend' only he's standing with his arm around an empty space. Or a picture of the inside of a bar captioned 'my favrite customer' but the image is almost completely filled with static.
No one knows what's up with him no one knows if he's serious or not

Twelve Days of Mingcheng - Day Eight
Hello! Today I bring you a combo request from @immacaria and @death-day-59 with the prompts hugs/cuddle time!
AO3 link
+++
+++
Jiujiu and the Beast
Deer Adventere Log,
Mama and papa have a anversry thing. So I get to see jiujiu! Jiujiu is my favrite. He makes the best snacks! Also! He fites monsters and reeds me storys and plays with Fairy too! Last time I had to share with Ayuan. I love Ayuan so thats ok. But this time I dont have to share!
The Strongist Hero A Ling
Nie Mingjue is facing one of the biggest crises of his life.
(Which is saying a lot considering the fact that he fights fires on almost a daily basis but that’s beside the point).
Nie Mingjue is facing a crisis.
There’s a mini-Jiang Cheng, clutching a plush dog as he glares at him from the doorway.
Nie Mingjue knows who this kid is- how can he not when his boyfriend has an entire file dedicated to him with at least a thousand pictures and videos saved onto his laptop? There’s also the fact that Jiang Yanli brought him, and he’s decked out almost entirely in gold.
Anyway.
Nie Mingjue knows that this kid is Jin Ling.
He also knows how important Jin Ling is to Jiang Cheng, and from the looks of it, he hasn’t made a very good impression- something he is very much not used to.
It’s not like all children love him immediately. He’s big and imposing, has a lot of muscles, and a pretty mean glare, but generally, that fades after some time. 
And he is good with them. He helped raise his younger brother after all, and he interacts with children quite frequently when the schools come for tours. Hell, he’s even helped Lan Xichen with that Jingyi kid he picked up not too long ago.
So for Jin Ling to hate him this instantaneously, this intensely, it’s a bit disconcerting.
Nie Mingjue feels out of his depth right now, but Jiang Cheng is talking gently with his sister in the kitchen, something about food restrictions that he knows will be ignored. He can’t bother him (tried that before, it didn’t end well).
So while the Jiang siblings are having what sounds like a very pleasant conversation, here Nie Mingjue stands. In the middle of the hallway. Getting stared down by a six-year-old.
---
Jin Ling is very upset right now.
He was in the middle of giving his jiujiu one of his very best hugs, telling him about all the things he did throughout the week while he was in school, when a very tall man- that Jin Ling suspects may not be fully human, he’s watched a lot of shows about it- walked out to greet him.
His jiujiu then let go of his hug and introduced the man.
Jin Ling bowed and introduced himself like he was taught (even though he’s still suspicious), his dad would be very proud of him- but that’s not important!
What’s important is the fact that jiujiu said this man will be staying with them during his weekend.
A-ling’s weekend.
Unacceptable.
“You can’t have jiujiu,” he says confidently. He places his hands on his hips and puffs his chest out, just like how his mama does when his dad does something stupid (no one is scarier than his mama...except maybe gramma Yu).
The man, who will from this point be called jiujiu-stealer, stunned by his courage and deadly stare, only blinks at him in fear. A-ling can see his jaw clench and his body shiver, so he guesses that’s a good enough warning for now.
He nods to himself in approval.
“Jiujiu!” He calls, running into the kitchen to latch onto his leg, “when can we play?”
---
Nie Mingjue places a hand over his mouth, tries to breath calmly through his nose. 
He deserves a fucking Oscar for not laughing at the little brat’s declaration. 
You can’t have jiujiu, he says, voice high and haughty…
Another round of giggles shakes through his body and he has to place his hand on the wall to stop himself from sliding to the ground.
Oh if only you knew, kid, he thinks.  
Nie Mingjue remembers the days when Huaisang was that possessive over him. He would follow him wherever he went, clutching onto his pant leg or hanging off of his back like a koala.
It got to a point where all of his friends just expected him to bring Huaisang along whenever they hung out (because of course he couldn’t say no when he was hit with the puppy-dog eyes). Lan Xichen still makes fun of him for it.
He remembers those days fondly now, but when he was a teenager it pissed him off to no end.
And then Huaisang became a teenager not too long after, and then suddenly being seen with Da-ge wasn’t cool and Nie Mingjue was the one left clinging.
Good times, good times.
But this situation is a bit different since it’s not his affection on the line. There is a child wholeheartedly claiming his boyfriend, and Nie Mingjue is pretty sure if Jin Ling said the word, Jiang Cheng would throw him out in a minute.
Okay, maybe not, he amends, amused. He has more faith in his relationship than that.
Walking into the kitchen, he watches as Jiang Cheng bids his sister goodbye while he bounces a giggling Jin Ling on his hip. Then he turns and motions for Nie Mingjue to walk Jiang Yanli to the door, shooing him away while he walks into the living room with the kid.
…wait, but actually, does he?
---
Jin Ling is locked in battle between him and the jiujiu-stealer.
He pulls out his sword, standing in front of his jiujiu to prevent him from getting attacked by the beast before them.
It’s life or death now.
The jiujiu-stealer is watching him closely, he can’t take any risks otherwise he’ll lose the battle.
One.
Two.
THREE.
He lunges forward but he’s blocked easily. Stumbling back a moment, he regains his footing and shoots forward again. Jiujiu-stealer may be big, but Jin Ling has always been fast. He won first place in his class race, after all.
He swerves in and out, to and fro, until finally, he sees an opening. Pushing forward, he slashes the beast across the chest and then stabs him in the belly, before pulling his sword away to give the final blow.
Jiujiu-stealer cries out in pain, falling to his knees as he clutches the wounds he received. He tries to get up once more (and Jin Ling prepares himself) only to fall back onto the floor.
Jin Ling points his sword at jiujiu-stealer’s throat and waits.
“Do it. Finish me, I won’t surrender!” Jiujiu-stealer coughs.
Pausing for a moment, Jin Ling suddenly thinks of something. “Mama says you can’t hit people when they’re…” he takes a moment, trying to remember what she had said. “When they’re down! So get up... Please.”
He hears a snort come from behind him, so he glances back, but jiujiu is still sitting on the couch, safe and sound, so it must have been the wind.
“How about this, your highness,” jiujiu-stealer says, getting up on his knees, looking a lot less dead (suspicious!), “if I let you ride on my shoulders, will you let me live?”
...
That... is a very reasonable offer, Jin Ling thinks. But he can’t give in too easily, otherwise, he’ll look weak. “A-ling will let you live...” he glances back at his jiujiu.
So far, jiujiu-stealer hasn’t done anything bad. He hasn’t tried to take jiujiu away or get rid of Jin Ling either. If anything, he’s been paying more attention to Jin Ling than anything else. 
Jin Ling knows this because he’s been testing him all day! So, maybe he can be trusted...(even if he isn’t human). But still, he has to make sure. 
 “A-ling will let you live.” He says again. “If you promise not to hurt jiujiu!”
Jiujiu-stealer bows before him, “Of course, your highness.”
“Promise,” Jin Ling repeats, lowering his sword slightly, but keeping his glare up.
“You have my word,” he says, holding out a pinky.
With a temporary truce called, Jin Ling and the jiujiu-stealer nod to one another and stand to put their weapons away.
---
Jiang Cheng sits on the couch, his hair braided with ribbons and wearing a paper crown.
He watches as his boyfriend and his nephew communicate, seemingly telepathically, and he gets a distinct feeling that he’s missing something.
---
Nie Mingjue is at a loss.
He had thought that after playing a few games, allowing himself to get beat up by foam swords, and pretty much following all of the brat's whims, Jin Ling would warm up to him a bit.
It had seemed like it. After he promised not to hurt Jiang Cheng, Jin Ling had found him tolerable at least. And Nie Mingjue was ecstatic because it meant there was hope, he could just keep worming his way into his little heart and viola, no more worries with Jiang Cheng!
Unfortunately, dinner came and went and all progress has been lost. Jin Ling barely looked in his direction and ignored him the entire meal.
Even Jiang Cheng had noticed it, which isn’t saying much since he’s been watching Jin Ling like a hawk, but still. Up until this point, Jin Ling hadn’t just outright ignored him.
It kind of hurts, if Nie MIngjue thinks about it.
He’d started liking the kid, and was beginning to understand why everyone fawns over him.
Jin Ling may look like a typical Jin kid, and there’s some brattiness that just comes with the genetics (it’s unavoidable, unfortunately), but his heart? That’s all his mother.
Jin Ling is a mama’s boy through and through and it’s adorable. Nie Mingjue doesn’t think he’s ever seen a kid talk to flowers ‘because they might be lonely’ before. One hundred percent Jiang Yanli’s influence.
There’s also the fact that Jin Ling thinks Jiang Cheng is the best thing since sliced bread and Nie Mingjue thought they’d be able to bond over that correct opinion.
Despite the unfortunate setback, Nie Mingjue has no plans on giving up.
---
Jin Ling thinks jiujiu-stealer is a liar and a fraud and he doesn’t understand why his jiujiu keeps him around.
Jiujiu stealer had promised, he had pinky-swore to Jin Ling that he wouldn’t hurt his jiujiu! And what does he do the minute Jin Ling turns his back?
He sinks his beastly fangs into his jiujiu’s skin.
At first, Jin Ling had suspected if jiujiu-stealer was really human or not. His height alone made him question if he wasn’t a werewolf (plus he’s also kind of hairy), but it turns out he was wrong.
Jiujiu-stealer had been a vampire all along!  
Jin Ling can’t believe he let himself be fooled. He really needs to study more.
“A-ling, what are you doing?”
Jin Ling looks up from where he’s bent over, looking under the couch, and sees his jiujiu standing next to him.
“A-ling is looking for his bow!” It’s not a crossbow, but it should still work against a vampire.
His jiujiu hums for a moment, checking his watch, and oh no. Jin Ling had completely forgotten about bedtime.
“I thought I told you to start getting ready for bed?”
“I was but-”
“A-ling.”
His jiujiu is looking at him the same way his mama does when he tries to steal a treat, and Jin Ling deflates instantly, looking down at his hands before sighing. “Okay, jiujiu.” 
His jiujiu stands up, holding out his hand, and Jin Ling readily latches onto it.
“The sooner you get ready, the sooner you can hear a story,” his jiujiu says, smiling while ruffling his hair.
Jin Ling’s mood instantly improves and he pulls his jiujiu along with him as he rushes to the bathroom to wash up, completely forgetting about his mission.
---
“You can do it,” Jiang Cheng says, pumping his fist in support as Nie Mingjue stares down at him in disbelief. “Just read him a story, it’ll be fine.”
Nie Mingjue does not think it will be fine.
He doesn’t even think he’ll be allowed within the room if Jin Ling finds out his jiujiu won’t be the one telling him a bedtime story, but Jiang Cheng is already walking away to clean up, leaving him to the task.
It seems he doesn’t have a choice.
Walking towards the designated Nephew Room, Nie Mingjue pushes the door open and is faced with Jin Ling sitting in bed, clutching his stuffed dog as he chooses from a variety of storybooks.
He clears his throat lightly, “Jin Ling.”
The kid’s head snaps up in excitement, only to fall when he sees who is standing in the doorway. “Where’s jiujiu?”
Nie Mingjue sighs, walking into the room as Jin Ling watches him warily. He crouches down to look at the books available. He doesn’t think he’s heard of any of them, but there seems to be a fantasy theme happening.
That explains the games they played earlier, he thinks.
“Your jiujiu has to do something real quick, so he asked if I could re-”
“No.” The kid says firmly, looking away from Nie Mingjue. “Mama says not to speak with liars.”
Nie Mingjue blinks.
...Huh? He tries to think back, did he lie to Jin Ling? He doesn’t remember doing so. “What are you talking about, kid?”
“You promised not to hurt jiujiu. And then you did.”
When did he ever…? “I don’t think I did, kid.”
“You did! Don’t lie!” Jin Ling says, crossing his arms as he huffs in an achingly familiar way.
Nie Mingjue sighs. It’s been a while since he’s had to deal with something like this. “Can you tell me why you think that?”
“I saw it in the kitchen. You’re a vampire.”
A vampire?
He saw it… in the kitchen?
Wait.
Wait a minute. Oh no. Ohhh no.
Nie Mingjue feels a laugh bubble up from his chest, trying to break free, but he knows that will only make things worse. He takes a deep breath, trying to flatten out his smile to a reasonable width.
Okay. It’s okay. He can work with this.
“A-ling,” he begins. “What you saw in the kitchen, I promise you I wasn’t trying to suck your jiuijiu’s blood.”
“Liar!”
“I swear,” Nie Mingjue says, raising his hand to promise. “In fact, you can even say it’s the opposite.” He adds cryptically, to pique the kid’s interest.
Obviously, it works.
He’s caught Jin Ling’s attention. The kid drops his arms slightly from where they’re crossed against his chest, his little eyebrow raised just a bit. “Explain.” He really does have so many of Jiang Cheng’s mannerisms. It’s ridiculously adorable. “Please.” Jin Ling adds, almost like an afterthought.
Nie Mingjue smiles softly. “When you or your dad go somewhere, does your mom give you kisses?”
Jin Ling nods his head in recognition. “She says it’s for good luck.”
“Exactly!” Nie Mingjue says. “It’s the same for your jiujiu! I give him a kiss here-” he points to his neck- “and it protects him from bad things. I just like to be careful and give him extra protection. You can even ask him.”
He watches as Jin Ling’s eyes widen and his mouth drops. Great. That problem solved, he can finally-
“So you can use magic?”
Maybe not. “That’s not exactly-”
“Then what?” A beat. “Please.” And Nie Mingjue needs to smother another smile. It seems Jiang Yanli is quite strict about that.
He looks at Jin Ling, looks at his big eyes, shining with curiosity, just begging to hear more, and what can he do? He’s always been weak to puppy-dog eyes.
“Well, you see...”
---
Jiang Cheng hangs up after saying goodnight to his sister, reassuring her that yes, Jin Ling is in bed, no, he was wonderful all day, and yes, he ate his vegetables.
Rubbing his hands down his face, he looks towards the door to the guest room.
Jiang Cheng had thought they were getting along, and then dinner came and Jin Ling just clammed up.
He figured sending Nie Mingjue in there to read a story might fix things. He’s seen him at the fire station when giving tours; he knows Jin Ling would absolutely love the way he tells stories and well. Nie Mingjue still hasn’t come out yet, and Jin Ling isn’t screaming so it can’t have gone too bad.
Picking up the remaining toys scattered about and putting them away (he’ll have to remind Jin Ling about clean-up rules in the morning), he walks over to check on the two of them and peeks into the room.
Freezing at what he sees, Jiang Cheng sends out his thanks to Philippe Kahn for inventing the camera phone so he can memorialize the scene in front of him forever.
Because lying on the twin mattress are two of the people he loves most in the world, cuddled together and breathing softly in their sleep.
Jin Ling is curled towards Nie Mingjue’s stomach, laying half on his lap, where he clutches Fairy. And Nie Mingjue is leaning against the headboard, his legs hanging off the bed while his head is lolled onto his shoulder.
Jiang Cheng takes at least twenty pictures from different angles and tosses his phone to the side.
Turning off the lights, he slides next to Nie Mingjue, just behind Jin Ling, to join the cuddle pile.
He and Nie MIngjue are going to be sore as hell in the morning, but whatever.
+++
+++
+++
To be clear! Mingcheng weren’t doing anything naughty in the kitchen. Nie Mingjue just likes to give back hugs and nuzzle. 
Jin Ling is going through a fantasy adventure phase rn and everyone just enables it because it’s cute lol
This was day eight, thank you for reading!

2.01 The Beantown Bailout Job
- OH it is so nice to be back in Portland. I mean Boston. Sure. Boston.
- It’s so contrived but I will never not crack up at the fact that the job magically appears in front of him just as he’s about to give up and go get a drink.  
- Conveniently I never remember a lot about this episode besides the beginning and the end which means I get to be surprised by wonderful horrible things like “They all meet up again because they came to Sophie’s show!”
- Can we addres the fact that there is at least one other condo across the hall from Nate’s? If somebody actually lives there, what on earth do they think is going on? Aside from definitely lots of very weird sex.
- lmao what the hell is Sophie supposed to be saying when she attacks the guy in Nate’s place?
- I love how in the Second David Job Nate knows just what to say to get them all working together on the plan even when they don’t want to, and now in this episode they know exactly what to say to get Nate working on it when he doesn’t want to (Hardison’s face when he says the wrong bank name on purpose just to annoy Nate into correcting him? Priceless.)
- “You thought she was dressed like a nun for no reason?” Yes, he did, and I’m pretty sure the entire audience thought so too the first time we saw it. I definitely just assumed that she found Sophie’s costume from the show and wanted to try it on. 
- Two things I’m concerningly into that are NOT Nate this time: Sophie in Nate’s shirt, Hardison dressed as a priest. I’m too bisexual for this. 
- “You know when you’re sober your metaphors get creepier.”
- “Now if you’ll excuse me I’m gonna go call a professional killer who tried to murder me and arrange to meet him in an isolated locatin.”
- Yaaaaaaaas NATE WHUMP and Toppy Sophie, my favorite!
- Wow Nate is like 98% OUT OF THE LOOP on Eliot’s death scene there’s some real WHAT THE FUCK moments from his perspective lol. 
- I can’t believe the bad guy just takes a GUN into a HOSPITAL like there’s no subtler way to kill a man in a cma lmao
- I know everybody’s all abut the Kool-Aid man ending and fr good reason, but I also love love LoVE the CW moment just befre hand with the acoustic song and the undrunk whiskey. 
- K just overall that’s a STELLAR episde it’s gt a surprising number f my favrite things in it, why do I not think about it very often? Gotta remember to mve that one further up on my Top Episodes List fr sure. 
- Yes my o key is in fact malfunctining, if anybdy was wndering.

17, 23, & 24 :)
17. pick a book for each of the four season. why did you chose these books?
winter - where dreams descend; i associate winter with magic, so i had to go with one of my favrite magical reads!
spring - fat chance, charlie vega; spring is all about new beginnings and rebirth, and charlie goes through a huge journey of self discovery and really coms into her own, so i think it fits for spring
summer - the unexpected everything; all of morgan matson’s books scream summer, as most of them take place in the summer and i just think the unexpected everything is perfect for the season
fall - if we were villains; the whole thing just SCREAMS fall vibes
23. how many unread books do you own?
LOL SO MANY. i’m gonna assume....somewhere in the 30-40 range

Hi there !! ❤️
Oh lord……….. 😵😅 There is a lot of it! But in some way it flatters me 😂💖
Tumblr media
2: do you like the feeling of cold air on your cheeks on a wintery day?
I do. It seems to be sth unpleasant but I like that tbh. It’s a very refreshing feeling.
5: are you self-conscious of your smile?
Ofc I’m 😂
6: do you keep plants?
Generally no. I prefer to have an ornamentation which are long-term like a paintings or various types of souvenirs. But every now and then I love to buy some roses or lilies.
9: do you like singing/humming to yourself?
Sometimes.
13: what’s something that made you smile today?
A few things for sure ^^ For example some new epizode on the channel of one of my favrite youtubers. I usually don’t care about youtubers, but there is few guys who I really like. He is one of them. Besides of reviewing and mocking of a bad movies, he started to make a program when he laughs of his inept cooking skills and in a funny way he tries to do the various dishes. It was the epizode when he tried to do some dish created by Gordon Ramsey. With his brilliant joke and a chill style of being, as usual it was great. Another thing which comes to my mind is a very tasty breakfast 😋
Tumblr media
14: if you were to live with your best friend in an old flat in a big city, what would it look like?
I guess it would be like in case of a lot of roommates. A separate rooms for each of us. Each one would be the own part of the fridge. The bills would be divided in half for each.
17: what color do you really want to dye your hair?
Right now I have a color I like (dark chocolate).
22: are you a morning person?
Not exactly xD I love mornings! It’s my favorite part of the day. But at the same time I love to spend all night without sleeping xD At night we have the best ideas and the biggest inspiration ❤️ sometimes I call myself „a night animal”. But I still love mornings, this fresh air, very pleasant atmosphere. But because of my love to being „a night animals” my morning is only sometimes in the correct part of the day (like 7.00 – 8.00 am).
23: what’s your favorite thing to do on lazy days where you have 0 obligations?
Like today xD Eg. replying to messages (like right now xD), cleaning, some activities like a cycling, trips or swimming, watching a movies, finding an interesting things or creating sth like a new poem or taking a new photos to my albums.
24: is there someone out there you would trust with every single one of your secrets?
Yes, she is ❤️ She knows more than anybody.
28: sunrise or sunset?
Sunrise ❤️
29: what’s something really cute that one of your friends does and is totally endearing?
Eg. when there is my birthday time and some my friend always gives me the gifts which perfectly suits to my interests and my personality ❤️ It’s the sign for me that someone knows my well and I’m important for him/her.
30: think of it: have you ever been truly scared?
I think I have… But I’m not sure when exactly. It was a long time ago…
34: tell us about the stuffed animal you kept as a kid. what is it called? what does it look like? do you still keep it?
You mean a mascot, right? I still have my dear bunny ❤️ Its name is Niunia (a girl name). I got it for my fourth birthday. It was one of my biggest inspiration for the next 10 years xD Thanks to this bunny I created my first tales, comics, novels, and arts. It was like an one big inspiration bomb xD
35: do you like stationary and pretty pens and so on? do you use them often?
Yeah, I like it. I use it very often.
37: do you like keeping your room messy or clean?
Rather clean.
38: tell us about your pet peeves!
It would be probably when someone is too sarcastic. Many people love sarcasms. Some are funny, when don’t laugh of somebodies in some mean way, but generally when it’s sth too personal, directed directly to me, then it’s sth very painful.
I also really don’t like when someone is a religious fanatic. I’m not an atheist and I totally respect all religiouses but some part of them are just insane… Some of them even try to say, that the homosexuality is a disease and that the contraception is a killing. Maybe we should claim that the religious fanatics is a disease xD 💀😂
Oh! And I hate this obsession with diet and exercise. It’s great to feel attractive and healthy but it started to be the one large international persecution mania 😅💀💀
40: think of a piece of jewelery you own: what’s it’s story? does it have any meaning to you?
Ahh, ofc! I have a lot of jewelery, many of them remind me of some memories. My the most precious thing is my ring which I bought from my first scholarship (the scholarship I got in 2015, while I bought it in 2016). I wear it everyday. Later I went to the some steep hill and at the top of this hill I’ve done a kind of oath to myself that I will never make some mistakes once again, i.e. that I will always respect and love myself and I will always be faithful to myself (Sth a bit like a self-wedding xD There was even the cross xD).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
41: what’s the last book you remember really, really loving?
Generally I read book quite rarely, I choose much more the watching the movies/anime, but when I think about a books like this, eg. now I’m reading some really great book. It’s called „Sophie’s World”. It’s about a teenage girl which one day came back from school and inside of her letter-box found a letter addressed to her, where it was one question „Who you are?”. Later, after she started think about who could give it to her and wonder about that question, another anonymous letters with philosophical questions began to be put into her letter-box. After a short time, after stimulating her curiosity towards philosophy, still without knowing the identity of the mysterious philosopher, the girl started a philosophy course, this time receiving a lot of long sheets full of new knowledge. More and more she began to delve into the world of philosophy, while at the same time trying to find out who is that mysterious teacher. At the same time, every now and then for some reason in various places, she found some things for the another girl she had never met. So far, I’m halfway through, history is getting more and more interesting. This is not a romance, as might be suggested by that “mysterious man” xD is a novel which is a kind of textbook of philosophy inserted into the story of the main character, written in a style that is one of the best literary styles I have ever read ❤️
43: who was the last person you gazed at the stars with?
With my music xD 🎵🎇
44: when was the last time you remember feeling completely serene and at peace with everything?
It was some time ago, on my last ride by bicycle.
47: what food do you think should be banned from the universe?
The meat from the dogs 😱😭😭👎
48: what was your biggest fear as a kid? is it the same today?
In case of this, I’ve really changed. As a kid I was scared by a storm, altitude, public appearances, spiders, darkness, although at the same time since childhood I’ve liked to challenge myself. Then there was a time when there were many strong negative experiences in my life, after which I came up with some simple thought: “Once I was afraid of a storm, but then I found out that there are more terrible things than a storm.” Now I’m afraid of only few things. I was able to go in the middle of the night through a dark forest, perform in front of a hundred people or run away from a stranger who chased me with a log in hand and even then I didn’t feel a fear. But there is still something I’m scared. It’s a bad people. I divide bad people into “culprits” and “intruders”. These first ones are people aware of their faults who have made mistakes, but they have a goodness within them that helps them to be better. Those second ones are totally evil. They are persuasive. People love them and follow them. They’re often completely unaware of the quantity of evil that is within them. Their boundless ruthlessness, combined with their eternal state of repression and alleged innocence, make them worse than the most dangerous lion.
I’m also afraid of losing humanity. I have the view that human is a creation between an animal and a device. I don’t want to get lost totally in lusts and instincts, like an animal, I don’t want to lose myself in logical cold action, like a device. It’s important to not forget about the instincts and the logical thinking, both skills are very valuable. But the extreme transition to one of these parties is bad. And very simple in a present times. While there is still humanity in the middle, specifically this what is metaphorically called “the soul” (feelings, weaknesses, sensibility). I don’t want the present world to deprive me of this.
50: what’s an odd thing you collect?
I guess I don’t collect any things like this.
54: who’s the last person you saw with a true look of sadness on their face?
Some my friend from studies. She has a very hard time right now…
55: what’s the most dramatic thing you’ve ever done to prove a point?
It’s hard to say… But I guess it was some „skill” I had to learn, ie. more „sharp” kind of speaking and behaving, more agressive. Ofc not as a kind of speaking everyday, but it were a situation which forced me to be cruel to someone who hurt me. It was my final attempt to prove that this person very hurts me and deserves my contempt. It worked. Now this person is completely different to me. But I don’t hide that it was difficult. In a way, I had to move my scruple and find within me something what I call “wildness”.
56: what are some things you find endearing in people?
When someone still has inside sth from a child. Specifically, I mean a children’s sensitivity, curiosity about the world, the ability to dreaming, child’s innocence and a kind of enjoying something like a child. Imo it’s very important to cultivate everything this within us, at the same time having sth of an adult, like eg. an emotional maturity (there are ofc also children who can do it ;3). I like when someone is not afraid of being themselves. I also value a tenderness. I also like when someone gets involved in something with a passion, in some of their interest, or even in the anime episode xD
57: go listen to bohemian rhapsody. how did it make you feel? did you dramatically reenact the lyrics?
I can to listen to this AGAIN AND AGAIN 💖🎵🎵
59: what’s your favorite myth?
I don’t have any.
60: do you like poetry? what are some of your faves?
I like ^^ My fave poets are Adam Mickiewicz and Jan Lechoń. From my poetry my fave poem is called „The Shine” about how to recognize the true great love and not to confuse it with sth worse, some fake. It resembles a dialogue by a man with a personified „Mrs Love/Goddess of love Venus” (there is even sth mentioned about Venus). The man falls in love with someone, but he hesitates, doesn’t know if she’s this only one. Love tells him that yes, this is the only one. Love also tells him what he should to do to not lose her and how to realize the enormity of his feelings and distinguish the “first place / podium” from the others ones.
61: what’s the stupidest gift you’ve ever given? the stupidest one you’ve ever received?
I gave one day for one my friend a cup with picture of Rei from Free! in a butterfly costume. Have I received some stupid gift? Maybe that bright green headphones for music in the shape of little monkeys that looked terribly and worked even more terribly XD
63: are you fussy about your books and music? do you keep them meticulously organized or kinda leave them be?
I think that to some level I’m fussy, but not very much. I love the most to listen sth what it evokes some feelings me and emotions inside me or inspires me to sth. When it doesn’t do it, it’s not a big deal but on the first place I put a kind of music like above.
64: what color is the sky where you are right now?
Black (We have a 2:15 am so .. xD).
67: how do gloomy days where the sky is dark and the world is misty make you feel?
It’s not sth what makes me feel worse. I just try to accept any weather and to be above it. But sometimes there are a moments when I feel sleepy.
68: what’s winter like where you live?
It depends. Sometimes it’s light and warm, about 0oC, sometimes we get even -20oC  O.O … The snow is every year but not during all winter.
70: have you ever used a ouija board?
So far I have not.
72: are you a person who needs to note everything down or else you’ll forget it?
Some things yes. I love to create a lists concerning various things. Thanks to this some stuffs and things to do are orderly in my head. But not everything. There must be a place for being spontaneous lol xD without this we don’t live xD
73: what are some of your worst habits?
No comments XD
74: describe a good friend of yours without using their name or gendered pronouns.
Friendly, kind, tender, open-minded, full of passion and amazing ideas, funny, inteligent, positive, shy, sensitive, as much pervert as me (or more xD), with a golden heart 💖💖💖
76: is there anything you should be doing right now but aren’t?
Yhm, Sleeping? (2:40 am while tomorrow morning I go to work xD sometimes I have to turn off my inner „night animal” xD)
79: what’s one of the cutest things someone has ever done for you?
Eg. when one my friend gave me on my birthday ALL collection of „X/1999”, all 19 volumes which cost a lot of money and which are also very hard to find. I’m truly grateful for that, it’s one of my favorites manga serieses ever! In case of guys, eg. one kissed my hand only in a winter glove, claiming that he’s not worthy to do it without this. From myself (I do for myself A LOT of sweet things xD) I’ve gotten a gold statuette for happy birthday with an engraved wishes 😄🏆🥇
80: what color are your bedroom walls? did you choose that color? if so, why?
The walls of my bedroom are in a creamy color. I didn’t chose it but creemy it’s for me very neutral color so it’s alright. In my future dreamy bedroom the walls would be white or in a powder pink color.
81: describe one of your friend’s eyes using the most abstract imagery you can think of.
Tumblr media
Yeah, this is perfect xD
82: are/were you good in school?
In those subjects I liked. That was my rule xD About the rest I didn’t care.
84: are you planning on getting tattoos? which ones?
I guess not.
87: what are some movies you think everyone should watch at least once in their lives?
The scientific movie “Journey to the Edge of the Universe” (2008) It’s one of the most beautiful and profound movie from this kind, I’ve ever seen ❤️❤️ „100 girls” when the main guy has absolutely brillant reflections about a women and men, everyone should to listen to him! :D And „Lucy”, about the potential of our brain. And perhaps also „The Devil’s Advocate”, it’s a food for thought.
88: are there any artistic movements you particularly enjoy?
Music for sure and a bit the painting world.
90: talk about your one of you favorite cities.
Let my own photos and those from the Internet will tell instead of me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah… That’s Wroclaw 💖
97: myer briggs type, zodiac sign, and hogwarts house?
INFJ/ENFJ, pisces/aries , none of hogwarts houses.
98: when’s the last time you went hiking? did you enjoy it?
Last week, It was very nice. I really like this kind of spending time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
100: if you were presented with two buttons, one that allows you to go 5 years into the past, the other 5 years into the future, which one would you press? why?
I think that none of them. I don’t want t change a past, I like the state of things which is now and love some special memories which could to not happen If I would go back 5 years. I also don’t want to jump up the 5 years which can bring something special.
*****************************************
It reminds me some trend which we were in the primary school, called “The golden thoughts” where some person created a 100 question, wrote in a notebook and later others answered her question in that notebook. It looks exactly the same ❤️
Thank you for your message! 😘

Captain Marvel Movie: My Thoughts
So I just went to see Marvel’s Captain Marvel and I have some opinions. Repeat, these are opinions. You are free to disagree with me if you so desire. I respect your decision, and I simply wish to tell you that this is not an objective dissection of this film. But before I do, I will be warning you (obviously) Spoilers Ahead. I will be putting this under the cut.
Other thing I’m warning of this (I cannot believe I’m doing this). I know this film has been having some controversy. And frankly I don’t give a shit. As someone has actually, y’know, watched the movie, I can say nothing about the controversy seems to have any effect on this film, nor should it. I’m saying my piece as a film goer.
So one last time spoilers ahead. You have been warned.
So before I talk about the film proper. I would like to give my general opinions the comic Captain Marvel Carol Danvers. I love her. I love Carol Danvers as character, she, in my opinion, is Marvel’s Wonder Woman. Her no nonsense attitude, but compassionate heart, would make for a great character in a solo film. As well as add some much needed diversity in terms personality in Marvel’s cast (Trust me, I was relieved by Black Panther actually not making jokes and being primarily serious).
I should also say, I love Marvel Cosmic. Seriously, Marvel’s cosmic stuff is so creative and you better believe I’m all for seeing them finally come to the big screen. To see the Kree and Skrull finally fight on the big screen, hell yeah. I was expecting the adaptation to have changes because getting the concept of the Cotati and the Celestials. But as long as its done well, it can work.
And boy oh boy, this movie was kinda underwhelming. Yeah, its not even like backlash hype, but this movie was kinda boring. It says something when during the first third of the film I checked my phone’s time. Yeah... Not a great sign. I do wanna say this though, the film does pick up after the first act. Like really it improves as it goes on, but boy is it bit of a hump.
Again, I wanna make this clear. This movie is fine. I recall people walking out of the theater saying I liked it. And as this is a marvel movie, it is better than other genuinely bad movies. But unfortunately as it isn’t strong one way or the other, its not in the best area. I didn’t mind that I saw it. For something to do for 2 hours it was nice. It got a few good laughs out of me. But boy this was... Kinda textbook Marvel film.
Okay, people have a tendency to say Marvel’s too formulaic or its too childish at times. And this movie fixes that. Oh not by twisting those formulas on its head like Black Panther. No it does the formula and removes most of charm. Yeah, this movie is Marvel films distilled. Everything in this film, you have seen done somewhere else, and done better.
Okay maybe I should get into the story. The story is again fine. It almost feels like a syfy channel original at times. And maybe that comes from the fact this movie had 5 writers and 2 directors. Cause boy this film is all over the place.
At first it seems like its all Kree vs Skrull, but its never really elaborated on why. There is no bitter history or reason other than they are skrull. Which is weird cause this film is exposition heavy. There’s one moment that sticks out and that was Monica telling Carol about her dad and her having a bad relationship. Now granted we saw a glimpse of this during one of many flashing sequences, but its never truly let sink. Its just the bare minimum. And Carol’s relationship with her dad and how he treated her is a big part of who she is.
But back to the juggling plots, when Carol lands on earth it seems like they wanna go the Thor 1 route while also there being a secret invasion. Which could work. Y’know, start of with the war, then Carol is trying to stop the invading Skrull who are planning on using the earth. But then it becomes a McGuffin run. Where the skrull apparently only want this lightspeed engine, and Carol must stop them cause... Skrull.
But then it turns out the Skrull are actually the victims this whole time and we need to get them off here before the Kree kill them. And I’m sure your asking, “what is even the point of this already?”
And that’s just the thing. This film is trying to be clever, but simultaneously, its really behind the times. Its almost fitting this is in the 90s as this feels like a 90s family movie. Its just so bland. Like got this ship dog fight in a canyon, its got the friend who lets the heroes go when they are suspects, and its got the whole, I was originally from here by looking at a photograph. By trying to be many things, it end up being nothing. Its just kinda okay. Not a bad movie, but when you’re in phase 3, this is shockingly more.
If this was like phase 1, maybe. But if you are expecting a Wonder Woman style film, this one is blown out of the water by WW. And I’m a guy who’s Marvel leaning when it comes to comics. But no Marvel, banking on this, its outdated.
In terms of characters, lets talk about Carol herself and her performance. Brie Larson is not a bad actress, but boy... The problem with her in this film is that Carol isn’t consistent in characterization. There are times in this film where I’m like, “Amazing, you got Carol.” Then there are times where she acts like a generic marvel protag. And then there are time “you really wanna go with that take?”
A wise word I heard was that how you know someone is the right fit for a marvel hero is you can see no one else playing that role. You can’t see Nick Fury not being played by Samuel L Jackson, you can’t see Iron Man not being played by Robert Downey Jr. etc. And unfortunately, I can see Carol being played by someone else. And it didn’t help that person was in this film.
Lashana Lynch acted her ass off in this film and was a better Carol Danvers than Carol Danvers. She played Maria Rambeau (Though really she’s playing Monica Rambeau in spirit, but given the time period, Monica is actually a little girl, but Maria acts exactly how you’d expect Monica to act from the comics and wibbily wobbly timey wimey) who is acting circles around Larson. She’s allowed to be very human while express a full range of emotions. While Carol is just kinda bland. (Also doesn’t help Monica was actually captain marvel before carol while she was still Miss Marvel) So if that’s one thing this movie got me eager for, it’s Monica Rambeau in the MCU.
Sam Jackson does a great job and is basically the linchpin of comedy in this movie. Yeah this movie’s humor is kinda non existent for a while. Again, it gets better as the film goes, but its again a slog. That said, Jackson handles the roles like a champ and is doing his best.
Talos was actually doing pretty good as a villain. He’s not Loki or Vulture, but he’s closer to Darren Cross from Ant Man. Having fun, while trying to be menacing. But he’s not a villain. Literally, the twist in this movie is the Kree were bad this whole time. Even though the point of the kree-skrull conflict is that both sides are wrong, nope. Skrull are the victims and they’re refugees. Christ, this movie basically told me, “Yeah, you’re never getting super skrull or a good secret invasion.” Christ.
All in all he turns in my favrite performance, but his Jason Statham impression is kinda distracting. I really think he could’ve been a good adversary in a better script.
No are real villain is Yon and he is basically Kaecilius from Doctor Strange. He’s Carol’s handler, he does that whole, playful banter while fighting thing. Then he disappears from film. Then it turns out that he’s the one who shot down Carol and that he’s the real villain. And he is not interesting.
Kinda comes with the fact that you literally didn’t make this twist until the end of the second act. So we have no strong impression of him as a character. Hell there is also his squad who fights Carol and its basically like watching the Black Order fight but blue. Its boring.
Oh there is the supreme intelligence. And that’s done so weird too. It projects itself int whatever form the person holds dearest (For Carol its Mar-Vell) and that seems like a great thing. Using the skin of a loved one, but in reality being nothing than cold unfeeling pragmatism. But then they start acting really gitty and emotional when they go into carol’s head again. This should be horrifying. This is just Jeff Goldbloom as the Grand Master lite.
Ronan also shows up in this movie. And he’s not the main villain! You have this chance to make Ronan (one of the most universally thought poor villain) and make him better. It would make a larger tapestry in films as we know what he’s like in guardians, but I would’ve like to see him before this. Show the seeds of just someone overtly self righteous that would bloom into zealous. I feel like this film could be much better with replacing Yon with Ronan.
But nope, in this film he’s just some asshole who is on screen for like 5 minutes. Oh but he’s got this group called the accusors that bomb out Skrull. Which also leads to this plot hole, why did Carol think that the Skrull caused ruins on the planet she visited? We saw her squad arrive while Ronan was bombing!
Then we have Mar-vell. Mar-vell is a woman this time and I was fine with that. She’s a good actress, if not enough time with her. Also the cause of Carol’s powers is the tesseract. Sure. Makes more sense.
I’ve been sounding lime a dick for a while, so I’ll quickly list off the good stuff in this film. I like the color pallet. I actually think Carol dressing in the grundge outfit is cool. I love goose. I think Talos and his family’s scenes are adorable. And I think the scene where Carol stands back up is empowering, but god I wish it was in a better film.
All in all, this film is fine. But its so on the bland side. And that leaves me in a wierd place. I want this film to do well, mainly cause I know how board executives work. “Oh a female superhero movie wasn’t profitable? Guess no more female superhero films.” And that’s not the case. We saw with Wonder Woman that you can do a female super hero movie, just get good writing and good directing. I want more females in Marvel movies. I want a damn Black Widow movie for christ sake!
But at the same time, I kinda want Marvel to take the L on this one. I want them to see that doing the bare minimum isn’t going to fly in the this oversatured market. Marvel was the best and only game in town for 10 years. But now. DC has clawed its way up, Wonder Woman was good, Aquaman was good, Shazam looks good, etc. And they all seem to want to try something new while being good. Marvel, you need to step it up. Because you’ll soon not be top dog anymore.
I feel like this film would’ve benefited from a director like Taika Waititi. Someone who knows how to take the fantastical of Marvel cosmic and  make it come to life. I also think it needs one writer. You though Justice League was bad as it feels like it was done by two different films directed by two different people, well this feel the same.
Is it bad. No. Its basically ghostbuster 2016. Its not bad, its not good. Not seeing seeing this film doesn’t make you a misogynist, seeing this this film does make you an asshole who is betraying the comics. Am I going to think less of you if you like this, god no! Am I saying its drek? No I still enjoyed the 2 hours I used up to watch this movie. So ball’s your court folks.

*soon the new planet grenade turret comes out of a pannel on the ground and starts shooting grenades at wheatley along with bombs from above*
intercom voice: PREPARING FOR LAUNCH TIME TILL LUNCH 7 MINUTES

*Wheatley sighed heavily but jumped down as the cat walk suddenly broke apart some Repulsion Gel fell out of another tube and he bonced up and placed her onto maniplation*
*ocean core soon stopped complaining her eye changing from aqua to pink*
ocean core: oooh now this is what i am talking about why hello their big fella

Intercom voice: warning core corruption at 50% vent system compromized oxgyen will be offline in four minutes launch into space will began in 4 minutes 30 seconds 
*soon enough they even heard the sounds of several rockets beganing to come to life and the building shaking showing it was being taken out of the ground*
*after that happened maniplation came back online and his planet grenade turret went into the ground the corrupted core made one of it’s grenades blow itself up*

“Pastoral in Eight Cows, Leonard Bernstein Conducting, Tygh Valley Symphony, Oregon.” . ©2021 Gary L. Quay A pastoral symphony is one that is supposed to evoke bucolic splendour, and the tranquility of rural life. I almost called this "Pasotral in Eight Cow Movements", but you probably get the reason I did not - Cow movenents and bowel movements, cow pies, and all that. Tygh Valley is one of my favrite places.
