how did u choose your username?

oh, this is a fun one!! i think i considered being swordtold at first, for that very ancient myth vibe of the sword being this narrative tool for adventure and structure and physical time, the parable being passed down through the centuries until it meddles into modern day rhetoric and ideology – a kind of fantastical tool, a spark of magic, of possibility.

i like the arc of the story of a place being physical / having it be held by time and hand alike, wearing with the years and having it become something different to each holder, each reader, each experience fantastical and individual.

having that kind of physicality to it; swordheld is the action of taking up and holding the sword yourself, choosing your own narrative, leading your own story. self-identity has always been something i struggle with (a novel concept i know, i know), so it felt right for this blog, since most of my older blogs before this one have been just me silently reblogging and never really posting anything myself, and i wanted this to be the change to that.

i've always had trouble wranging my social anxiety, esp. on the internet, and previously thought that keeping my words to myself helped keep the timeline cleaner, in a way, no messy thoughts for others to sort through, especially ones i believed no one would want to read anyway? but it never felt right, keeping myself apart from it all, esp. not in the way i so avidly enjoyed reading others' posts and additions, keeping their words close to my heart.

i wanted it to reflect that this was a space i was holding for myself? and i'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes, but this - this i think i got right. i love being here, on this blog, and the joy that it brings me. everyone else enjoying it too has been a wild ride that i never expected, and still surprises me, one that brings a little extra thrill to my heart whenever i think about it.

i had other urls that i liked, but i didn't want this blog to be tied directly to any of my fandom/story interests, since i wanted it to really just be a sort of archive of artistic inspiration and resource, like a little library or museum. i use them now as lil sideblogs of more niche interests now, which is rather lovely.

it hasn't always felt like it fit perfectly, the way that i'd like, but for some reason i can't think of really wanting to change it anytime soon. it feels mythic yet modern in a way that feels like puzzle pieces finally slotting into their place, something my own and inspirational to me, like a lantern i'm holding to make my way by. my own kind of light, if that makes sense – a star i know by name.

Sometimes the most beautiful girl in the world isn't a girl. Sometimes she is the album Lonesome Dreams by Lord Huron.

there's something so special about the fact that c!wilbur, c!quackity, c!phil, c!niki, and c!ranboo survived. it's about how these characters fell so hard and messed up and lashed out but now they're safe. they're safe and they get to live. they can just BE. it's about how they worked so hard to preserve their legacy and memory throughout the story and now? well now in some way they do have that.

Q2: (Dpr ian 🐺 Question) When making an MV do you map out (the MV) in the middle of making the song? Or do you complete the song and then plan (the MV)?

Dpr live 🦊: Honestly I do it case by case

Dpr ian 🐺: For example. In the case of So Beautiful (actually an image/picture, rather than a video) I visualized it scene by scene. Since I really like imagining in that scene what time it is, what colors are there, what kind of character there is, and what’s their story. I picture that image in my mind. So Beautiful was something (getting) drenched by the rain while it rained inside the house…in that darkness you can imagine something beautiful…from there the song came out. Since I liked imagining from the time I was young…actually, i don’t think it’s possible for me to say the song or the MV comes first…maybe i’ll say the imagining comes first…?

Dpr cream 🍦: anyway, he’s a genius. This guy is crazy… LOL

[anachronistic-falsehood]

its been almost 2 years since i got into the dsmp. like within a month it’ll be the anniversary of the “Tommy gets stuck in prison” stream. two years since he died and the fandom was in full blown mourning for two days. holy shit
