sorry for caretaker posting sm but the existence of the caretaker wiki just makes me really emotional. the fact that practically every sample for the album has been found by fans who love the album so much they just had to know what made it what it is is just so astounding to me. there are up to 22 layers of music and people have STILL been able to pinpoint samples down to the exact recording that was used, ranging from other works in the caretaker discography to recordings of songs that were so limitedly produced that finding them was practically a fluke is just such an intense labor of love it drives me a little insane

Barty is provocative as fuck and James is easy to rile up. Usually, it just leads to James storming off with Barty laughing. One time, James was having his own problems, and Barty came by and started a fight. James said the most offensive personal thing ever that got Barty so mad, he got personal too. Then they both are just yelling at each other, and everyone is kind of scared to pull them apart. Eventually James just tells him to fuck off and Barty does, for the first time, storm off.

They were seen making out later that night

Whelp, fic is on Ao3 now. Here are the link and the official cover.

Biggest thing I have written so far, clocking in at 18,109 words (at time of writing. Currently it's at 54,928) and with the passion to match!

Big shoutout to @bokunocolor for the awesome coloring of the panel of Aoi With Glasses that inspired the whole idea of SAKAMOTO DAYS: An Alternative Transitional Period (or SD:aATP for short) and helped create the cover as a result, with me going for a Fashion Magazine look as I completed the shape and credits and whatnot. But yeah... sure was quite the new experience, having to go through a server full of beta readers for future-proofing and whatnot... still, it was hella fun!

And still is.

And will be.

Yeah, I ain't stopping. This bad boy is gonna be up to date as much as possible. Meaning I will be adapting as many chapters as I can, as best as I can.

Even if there's currently 185 canon manga chapters, with no signs of Suzuki-sensei stopping any time soon, Imma get there if I can. If the Loud House can have a fanfic bigger than the GODDAMN Bible, then I can have a fanfic the size of a Shonen Jump franchise!

So, now that this is done... time to go back to the kitchen. Mother has some PEAK to cook, after all.

Until then though... hope you enjoy/enjoyed the read, both of the fic and of this debut post!

P.S - I mayyyyyyy or may not be getting more covers made for when newer chapters show up... and I mayyyyyyy or may not plan to use them in PDF volumes of 6-7 chapters each like the canon manga... which mayyyyyy or may not be stored in a public Mediafire link or something similar... that all mayyyyyy be a possibility. :3

I bought a little sample of this perfume and I'm testing it on my skin today at work. I'm just fascinated by it.

I love me a very literal scent.

I don't like when perfumers describe one thing, but then I sniff it, and it's more like such a hodge podge of pretty florals that I'm supposed to interpret as a story. When I read "metallic" in the notes, I want to smell metal, not citruses that I'm told evoke metal. But I am used to little disappointments of scents being more interpretative and less literal. A lot of notes that I want so badly to smell like are things that most perfume shoppers would be disgusted or infuriated by. I understand making something more mass appealing, at the end the of the day, people who compose perfume likely want to make as many people happy with their scents as possible (and maybe even make a little profit). I've come to expect it.

But this scent, ooooooooh. They described it as being an ode to the pinball arcade. Predominately a lime cola scent with the smell of cool steel and waxed wood floors. And hey, I'm constantly on the hunt for metal scents. And as a side quest, I kinda want a nice cola soda scent. So I figured I'd give it a shot.

This scent has got me obsessed. It's not balanced in the way I was expecting or hoping for, but in having it's own unique spin, it's become something just magical on my skin.

What I was expecting: mostly a strong cola smell. Hint of lime. Steel being the second most dominate note, given that the name is "Multiball". Waxed wood floors being a whisper of a fantasy accord to tie it all together and make the scent more appealing to most folk, balancing out the sweetness and the coldness of the steel. I was honestly just expecting it to be a creamy sandalwood undertone.

What I actually got: The exact scent of my Mom polishing the lanes at the bowling alley she used to work at when I was a kid. It's such a specific smell. It's hardwood floors and whatever that grease they use is. It smells spot on to when she'd have to get out that big ass buffer machine.

Then there's the cola note, just like her job too. It's cola out of the machine that's only going to stay well carbonated for like six minutes before going nearly flat. The syrup content is too high, something's wrong with the ratios their machine puts out for sodas, but I actually prefer it that way. It makes the soda taste richer, deeper, almost excessively flavorful. This is the second strongest note, it's always noticable but never more powerful than the greased wood lanes. Sweet but not cloying.

There's the smallest hints of lime and steel in the background. They mingle together in such a way that at least makes me get why so many things with listed metals end up just being funky citrus. It works in a way that makes me happy though, I smell both lime and steel, not just limes being odd. They're intertwined.

I love this. It's so insanely nostalgic for me. It smells sooooooooo nice.

My main concern is that I can tell that this scent could be really off-putting to others. It's almost entirely bowling alley grease. I do wonder what people would think of me if they smelled this on me all the time. Usually the "unpleasant smells" I'm looking are just ones that don't bring to mind notions of traditional perfumery and that I think smell really good, but this could potentially be far more divisive. I don't know if everyone thinks that's a good smell.

The other thing is the price point. I'm broke and cheap so I know I'm not the demographic most perfumers are aiming towards, even indie brands. I want people to get paid for their art, paid fairly, and so I don't want to imply people should lower their prices (once again, especially indie brands because a lot of them are one-man-operations). But this brand is simply out of my price range in this current stage in my life. $120 for a 50 ml is probably generally considered a good price, but it's steep for where I'm at. That's $2.40 an ml, if I did my math right. There's a $45 size option that's 15 ml, but that still doesn't sit right with me at $3 an ml for a perfume who's staying power seems to be about 4 hours with no reapplication. I just can't afford it when I'm still battling with paying for my medication.

But damn, it brought me joy. I'm gonna devour the entirety of the decant and I'll miss it when it's empty.

TDLR; Really good weird perfume. Smells exactly like the bowling alley my Mom worked at in my tweens. A lil pricey for me, but probably a reasonable price because it's just one gal doing all the work and she should get paid. I feel conflicted about buying a bigger size but it compels the fuck out of me.

I'm so happy that I get the chance to rant again, because the subreddit just gives me so much inspiration <3

I don't really care about Carmilla. She was, at the end of the day, a villain from a kid's cartoon, who wanted to conquer the world because she was just so eeeevil, with only the barest of backstories to pretend she had good motivations. In fact, it's hilarious to me that when you think about it, the N!Isaac vs. Carmilla epic fight, one of the climaxes of this show that has touted itself on being so deep and nuanced, has all the emotional depth of an average Sonic vs. Eggman boss battle: the impossibly cool superhero wants to stop the nefarious supervillain and her world domination plans.

(no shade to Sonic and Eggman, who are far better written than those two assholes could ever hope to be. you know what I mean)

yeah yeah she became what she depised, after a whole season of sitting on her feminist ass lol and then randomly going insane at the last minute. peak writing, as per usual.

No, it's as usual Lenore who has my attention.

She's the most human of the sisters, they say. And they're right. She is a terrifyingly realistic depiction of an abuser.

She's not a cackling madwoman who only serves as a caricature, and she doesn't exist only for shallow representation like Striga and Morana who have no objectives or personalities outside of each other. Lenore may not want world domination like Carmilla, but she absolutely longs for power over other people. I went about it here, how once you read between the lines, Lenore only wants to feel powerful and important, and she's willing to steep as low as she can to get her way because she folds like a coward the moment she doesn't have the upper hand. While Carmilla would just beat people for shit and giggles because look at how Evil (but in a Cool way) she is, Lenore is genuinely convinced that everything she did, all of her physical, mental, emotional and sexual abuse, it was all for a good cause, and she did nothing wrong, and anyway you were enjoying it too so what's the issue?

So yes, in this, she's human. She's a cruel, cunning, vile human like many women in the world who know that they can use their charm and take advantage of emotionally starved men to feel powerful, all while still painting themselves as cute and lovable. Her vampiric nature doesn't come into play until the very end, where she realizes (in theory) that she's nothing but a disgusting evil creature and she's doomed to always be so; but until then, you could write her as a human and little would change in her personality and the way she played with N!Hector.

And that's what makes her scary to me. Yes, Dracula and Carmilla are more dangerous on a wider scale, but we are much, much more likely to fall into the trap of one of the many Lenores around the world.

(I usually don't like making it all about gender, but Lenore's abuse of N!Hector is absolutely gendered. Her entire character revolves around what I can only call toxic femininity.)

And that's why the takes I see about her deadass trigger me, because what the fuck do you mean, she's the less cruel of the bunch????

I don't give a shit about the Lesbians, but at least they realized that what they were doing was wrong! Sure, their motivations were mainly self-centered because they didn't want to waste their existence fighting, but they also took pity on the humans they were meant to kill!

I just fought fucking farmers. Saw the fear in their eyes. Not fear of dying. Fear of not having fought. Fear of not saving their people.

It's more empathy than Lenore ever showed for N!Hector, with her filthy "you were having fun"!

"Found her strengths" yeah, instead of physically torturing N!Hector, she used manipulation, abuse, coercion, gaslighting and rape by deception to "solve his problem". Wow, such strengths, many power. And then the second things got worse for her she immediately decided to peace out of life rather than wait a few decades until N!Isaac died, sorry N!Hector if you grew to care about me but my own bratty feelings are more important. I'm sorry, I know it's in bad taste to paint suicide as the cowardly way, but it's what the story did!

The Lenore apologism creeps me out more than anything else. I can stand the Carmilla stans who think she's so cool and badass and #grrlpower. I'm annoyed but resigned to the N!Isaac stans who believe he's the most complex character of all time and forgot about all the petty murders he commited. I'm baffled by the N!Dracula stans who genuinely believe he had the right to start a mass slaughter because some peasants didn't take him seriously enough. But this rhetoric that Lenore is the least evil of the sisters, that she was ultimately a poor broken woman who only did what she thought was the right thing, terrifies me. She's a realistic, human female abuser... and just like many female abusers, her crimes get brushed off because she's cute, because she looked sad enough, because women who sexually dominate men are inherently hot. And I know that fiction is not reality and you can enjoy villains without being a bad person, but the arguments the stans use, not to paint Lenore as cool like Carmilla but to actually downplay her very realistic crimes, just hit too close to home for me.

I just wish that "human" didn't become shorthand for "good deep down", because it's not true. Sometimes a "human" villain is far more evil than a villain so shallow they don't quite feel real.

when did you start watching wrestling

1 yr ago. i wouldnt be considered the top guy fanwise i play with the content as my brain allows. hopefully this message wasnt a threat. i do like rpf stuff bc it allows for easy periods in my art where i will have a designated muse. wrestling was also good cause prior to making this acc many people irl and online on different accounts knew me as the guy who "drew enough bara that you should just draw gay porn". i like doing studies. my brains kind of turned off to a lot of the aspects and individuals that used to light it up by way of shitty wiring or whatever. i wouldnt say i know a lot but i know enough. and i know a lot only about 3 or so guys who i would neurotically siphon through the internet for weird outskirts content or information about. and i like cataloguing when certain guys get injuries so i can cross reference my surgical textbooks about the procedures they did, since its that nice celeb sports medicine fancy hospital shit. long meaningless answer, the short one would just be to say i started watching wrestling because i saw jon moxley gifs on a bdsm gore fetish blog on here and now i am where i am currently with this blog.

Me, writing a fanfic: is this too self indulgent?

Hatsune Miku: fanfiction in itself is an art form dedicated to being self indulgent and it doesn’t matter if it’s target demographic is just you so long as you enjoy it because that’s what it is at heart, meant to be enjoyed by you and you alone

Me: cool, thanks
