#sometimes they slow youtube down a bit but still better than ads lol

[gunsatthaphan]

hi there! do you use an ad blocker when watching shows online?

yes I do! Especially for youtube that's inevitable lol. I recommend ABP, uBlock, Adblock for Youtube and Ad Skip Master! Those work great, also for other sites.

Hiii- me again :P (i message so freqently because i just honestly adore your writing) I was wondering if you could do the headcanon thing for Rico- i don't think you did already becasue when i cheacked i didn't find anything but i might be wrong

:DDD You have no idea how happy I am getting all these asks. Keep them coming! (If you can. No pressure there.)

To celebrate this new blog, let's open with some

Rico HC's

When Starr Park opened with only a western theme, Rico played the role of a 'Bounty Hunter'. He was essentially the security of the park who would have some themed events with Colt and Shelly.

Once the Park decided to include other themes, an Arcade place was added to the mix. Rico found that he loved that places vibe more than the western style and eventually made his way into being part of that scene instead.

That wasn't the only reason for his drastic remodel. Rico loved interacting with kids, but found that his Bounty hunter persona and looks sometimes scared kids which made him sad. When he became a part of the Arcade theme, he requested to have a new body built to fit better and appear friendlier to kids.

Even though Rico sort of left his security job when he switched roles, he still keeps a vigilant eye out for wrong doers in his area.

Even though Rico has a pretty monotone and bland voice, he can actually be pretty emotional and dramatic. Though sometimes people think he's being sarcastic because of his voice, when if he means everything he's saying.

He met Piper after mourning the loss of his lover (the vending machine lol). Well, he actually knew of her beforehand but that was the first time they properly interacted outside of work related duties and brawls. Rico was soon smitten and asked her out on a date. To his surprise, she actually said yes.

Rico is absolutely the type to do grand gestures of love to Piper (or whoever his lover is in the case of other fics). That doesnt mean that he doesn't like the cute subtle things too. But he is a dramatic lover and he will get a boquet and chocolates every chance he gets.

Rico has a program that lets him easily calculate angles to bounce things in real time, and he can activate it outside of battles too. This leads him to doing all sorts of dumb and mundane trickshots, like bouncing some trash off the wall before it goes in the trash can or tossing a coin and making it spin before it goes in a jar.

This program was actually meant to be used so he could be a thrower like Barley. But he picked up a gun and found that way more fun than lobbing stuff. Also the higher-ups were worried about the similarities between him and Barley so they let it be.

Actually he likes doing trick shots a lot. He'd make a youtube account for it, but many others agree that him doing it would be cheating because of said program.

While nothing could top Arcade games in his mind, Rico is actually decent in more slow paced strategy games. Brock tends to just brute force his way through those games and 8-BIT cant be bothered to sit down and play it.

He and Colt used to be really good friends due to their initial roles. One could even say they were best friends. But over time, the two of them started drifting apart and Rico started hanging out with Brock more. They're still friends but definitely not as close as they were before.

Rico and Brock vibe really well with each other. Brock can easily tell what the robot is feeling with his subtle cues, and Rico is good at getting Brock to challenge himself and be better.

8-BIT and Rico like to talk shop about all things video-game related even when outside of work. Rico marvels at the fact that, because of 8-BITs short temper, he's actually the calmer one in this situation.

Rico is completely smitten by Piper. She is his queen, his goddess, and he's grateful everyday that she said yes to him. He'd like to put a ring on her but it waiting for the 'perfect opportunity'. But hes got big things planned.

Rico regards the Starr Park security trio as his successors of sorts and feels an odd parental feeling towards all of them, even if their AI's are made to have them be technically around the same age.

Rico sees Barley and Darryl as like friends who also see each other as family. Barley is the older one and Darryl is the younger one. This unfortunately means that he is the middle one, which Darryl sometimes likes to poke fun of.

RE BigHit vs Jikook

@sizzlingpatrolfox

I appreciate you trying to clear things up after my last post on this topic.

I skimmed through your rejoinder and I get where you are coming from. But it seems the point of my response to you flew right over your head too.

You know what gaslighting is great but do you know what whistling is and how the erroneous use of reductios- reductio ad absurdums, the act of reducing another's argument to absurd extremities in order to critique is a form of whistling- exposing a person to online attacks or placing a target on an individual's back?

I really, really don't believe BigHit would HIDE TWO PEOPLE interacting within the group either you know?

I don't think asking two people to tone things down or slow down because they are acting risqué is the same as HIDING those two peole. That's gaslighting and is tacky.

Are you aware that by intentionally misconstruing and misinterpreting my theories in the way that you are doing in your reblogs can subject me to unwarranted negative attention and could potentially lead others who come across your reblogs out of context to attack, disparage and critique me harshly unprovoked?

Cyber Trolls and bullies looking for attention on the bird app often use this tactic to direct hate and abuse towards individuals they've tartget.

They intentionally distort their targets words, twist it around, reduce it to something absurd that they know will inflame passions or take it out of context, and post it online to incite and direct mass hate and violence towards people knowing full well that not everyone who comes across the content they've posted would grasp the context or go out of their way to find the right context of those texts.

These people try and often succeed at weaponizing the mass attention by appealing to the crowds sense of 'cancel culture' as a means to suppress and oppress people they've targeted on the internet.

I have been subjected to this form of online abuse one too many times, I'm used to it by now. But I don't find it funny at all. People will intentionally distort and reduce my theories to extreme absurdities or take certain bits out of context and would post these to Twitter, facebook, their GCs or whatever platforms they have in order to fuel or direct hate towards me either because they don't like me as a person or they don't like the things I say out here.

And their go to code word of attack is always, Taekook_lives because they know how passionate half the fandom is about that person.

You refer to your statement, 'BTS are ashamed of ships' and 'Jikook gets punished whenever they look at eachother' as a literary resource, whatever you mean by that, but you made it seem in your post like it's a theory coming from me or one I had espoused when in fact it's a reductio from you.

Am I the author of those statements? No. Have I said or implied those premise. No. But you have. Those are your assumptions about my posts. The emphasis is yours not mine. It's your interpretation of my work and like you said YOUR opinion on my work.

But ask yourself. Would you be dragged and attacked for it if it gained attention or would I ?

Do you see the problem here?

I get called out for people's interpretations of my posts all the time which to me is ridiculous.

There is nothing wrong with misunderstanding a post, or falling on the fallacy of reductio ad absurdum to argue your points, it can be humorous sometimes but understand it's a fallacy especially if you are appealing to the extremes of the argument like you keep doing in your reposts- please credit those posts appropriately next time you quote me by using disclaimers such as 'the emphasis is mine' where you assume a a meaning out of my posts or use 'the reductio is mine' or 'I assume by this statement you mean' 'correct me if I'm wrong'

Get creative with it. Lol.

Where none of these markers are used I assume without prejudice malice rooted in the fiery pits of hell are intended and I treat it as such.

As for the rest of your argument about Jikook not being a brand. It's fine. Do you.

But I disagree. Jikook is a brand in of themselves within BTS.

I see them as a brand. I see them as being managed by BigHit as a brand.

Also, I believe BigHit is aware they are dating and they are well aware of instances where Jikook gets negative attention too like whenever Christian organizations in South Korea lead online protests against them for promoting homophobia in South Korea because of their 'fan service.'

Side note: People are out here screaming Jikook is fan service every day but apparently South Korean Christians disagree. Lmho.

As for how BigHit manages Jikook in instances where they attract negative attention, I think their approach to JK's Tattoo girl scandal says it all.

The company asked the shop to lay low until it all blew over. I assume this is the protocol. I don't think it's crazy for me or anyone to assume that BigHit does the same with Jikook and ask them to tone things down when they are recieving negative attention or are moving in a way that is likely to attract negative attention.

I don't know how you arrived at 'BigHit is hiding Jikook' when all I said is I felt around a period BigHit had asked Jikook to tone things down- perhaps because they had a strategic partnership in the pipelines but sure go ahead and compare me to Taekook_lives because what better way to punish me for the opinions you don't agree with or shut me up than to get the do before complain gassed up 13 year olds roaming these streets to come for me😊

Or better still set loose the Kookie monsters of tumblr on me- those are a lovely bunch😊

Unfortunately, tactics like these don't work on me honey.

I'm gay and a Christian.

Hell fire doesn't stop me from doing the gay. I don't think retweets from faceless chipmunks will slow me down out here💀

As for my theory on JK and Jikook getting punished when they breach company policies or come close to breaching their glass closet- actions have consequences.

They are employees at the end of the day and as much as they have self autonomy they are required to honor their contracts, terms of service, and obey company rules in order to continue to be employed by the company.

BTS themselves have talked about recieving punishments for defying company rules every now and then. Tae Kook have said they are partners in crime because they often get into trouble with the company and get 'scolded' for it. Jin have said he got into trouble with the company for cutting his hair himself or something. He's said he was pulled into a long meeting with staff over his hair once when he dyed it by himself- cross check, I don't remember accurately what that long meeting was about.

Jimin have said the same thing- getting in trouble for doing certain things that defy company polieces. BTS have said they aren't allowed to do certain things like drunken tweets, drinking or even swearing on VLive.

Do I think they get pulled into long meetings for a word or two when they act risqué yea. Do I think sometimes drastic measures are taken to serve as a warning or deterrent to others yes.

I really don't know why you find it absurd that I assume Jikook get punished for certain actions or that they get regulated by the company.

The look on RM and JM's face in the Be. TS Vlive when JK talked about preferring white to black to me is indication JK was going off script in that moment and was acting defiant as fuck. I don't think it's far fetched for me to assume JK wasn't supposed to say what he said or that he was going against the collective will of the group to uphold the kumbaya image of the group in that instance.

It's equally not far fetched for me to assume JM or RM would ask him as politely as possible to check his attitude next time during a VLive.

Hell, we've seen Hobi advice Jikook to be careful the way they conduct themselves on stage.

We've seen RM glare at, tap, and touch JK and the others several times on stage or during interviews and awards to get them to behave themselves and Tae has explained its because RM wants and tries to get them to act and look 'cool' in front of the cameras most times.

Tae did say he wasn't allowed to record a song with Jimin now didn't he?

Aren't all these a form of regulation? Why then do you think it's absurd for me to believe Jikook are sometimes regulated?

Please listen to BTS's song, A Typical trainee's Christmas to understand in what ways the company controls them. They've said it themselves, not I.

I recommend you watch Rookie King to understand the relationship between the boys and the company. Tae and Jin were not complaining about the company for no damn reason.

Of course they've matured now and their success guarantees them more status and freedom within the company as they are royalty and shareholders of BigHit but they are employees nonetheless.

Listen to RM- the leader of the group talk about that the company disregards their ideas and their creative inputs into their visuals and marketing I presume during the TaeNamKook YouTube live in 2020.

I promise you, just think of Jikook as real and in real life settings and the mystery will go away.

They are two gay men who work together under a company that is queer friendly but set up in homophobic society.

What advice would this company give them?

There you have your answer and if you still believe it's too fantastical to assume then agreed to disagree.

Sign,

GOLDY

Jan 2021 Wins

ive “journaled” for 6 months now. it started as small ___ wins because when you feel rly empty, even doing the bare minimum feels like a win. written down some of the wins. i think until now i’d like to keep the “win” part. a win against my shadow sometimes. a win in life. some things to be grateful for. a win for remembering it later in the future. i know some days im just basically doing nothing.  there are a lot of wars not won by me. but im still tryna ✨manifest✨

1 - woke up. watched bts’ 2021 seasons greetings. read trap city. afternoon nap. pupuy’s mbah passed away. i got DOMS in my body even though i did the barest of exercise yesterday (frail, i know). shower, matcha latte.

7 - woke up at 07:55, finished my part for collab group work. felt a bit tired today. the rest of fam went to DM, and when they were on the way back i HURRIED my way out, not even taking a shower lmaoo. got pistachio matcha latte at starbucks dm. now im more skilled in searching the best spot in a cafe to distance myself from people lmao. the matcha latte is served with some sort of pistachio cream and sprinkled with nuts on top. its like when sbux had taro matcha latte and it had purple cream on top. the pistachio taste is quite strong. reviewed TO 1 padi, sent proposals for nemo sponsorship.

Fic Read Round-up 12th Oct 2018

A list of fic I read this week and recommend (wips not included)

Sorry there wasn’t one last week, I didn’t read much. This week I read too much. Go figure. 

Disclaimer: I spent a lot of time re-reading people’s fic and back catalogues this week so there will be a lot of repeat writers. I don’t apologise for this, going through people’s pages and reading a lot when I’m feeling down is something I like to do. These writers comfort me when things seem hopeless.

Dan/Phil

cold feet by @waveydnp

M 3.3k Foot fetish fic from the amaaf verse. This is actually so beautiful, I’m in love. 

paint it on your face by @onedirectionticketss1

M 574 soulmate marks with a twist. Funny and lovely, an all round good read. 

Beside You I’m a Loaded Gun by ramonaspeaks

E 958 Phil wakes up still hard from the night before. Fun fact: this is my most re-read fic in the phandom.

witness by @velvetnautilus

G 818 Dan makes coming out videos but he never shows them to anyone. Other than Phil. 

nothing feels better by @waveydnp

M 2.5k I just really really love fwb okay? Them not being able to say what they want to say but their actions being so obvious that you just want to shake them. But Sarah writes them so beautifully that it hurts so good. ugh. 

unashamed, wide open for joy by @queerofcups

E 10.8k Okay, what happened was shapes and weights to choose (look at me defying my own rule of not mentioning wips - lol no regrets) updated. So I re-read it from the beginning. Twice. (ao3 tells me I’ve visited this fic 65 times and thats only the ones where I was logged in) and then I was thinking about Porn Star Phil because, well, why wouldn’t you? And then I remembered this fic wherein Phil is also a porn star and Dan is a youtuber and there is a mix up when he tells Phil he makes videos on the internet and it’s just really good and so I re-read this too. 

Unlatch by @queerofcups 

E 1.6k Phil can’t get over it when Dan makes the joke about sucking dick in Living my Truth and starts holding out on him. After re-reading the above fic I started going back and re-reading a bunch more because I have my faves and I re-read all the time. 

(your love) feels like all four seasons by @queerofcups

E 1.5k Dan and Phil at the Lester’s trying to be quiet. Told you I’m not apologising for reccing the same author one million times this week. 

everybody told me it was bad to do by @queerofcups

M 1.1k Phil’s boyfriend is downstairs and yet they’re doing stuff anyway. I have a confession that I actually really love fics where the relationship is a bit fucked up? Like I don’t think fic needs to always be representative of like healthy communication or whatever because it isn’t a relationship guide, it’s fiction. And this is a perfect example of a really interesting dynamic. I love. 

Birthday Sex by @danfanciesphil

E 233.7k friends with benefits, so angsty but with the happiest ending. Okay, I sort of blame @charlottekath for this because she re-read this recently and then I thought... okay I’ll re-read it too and I got a bit broken in the middle like I always do but by the time I reached the end it was okay. I did however have to go read some stuff where it wasn’t all turbulent for them to make myself feel better. 

Give Me A Try by @danfanciesphil

E 72.9k Instagram model Phil and bartender Dan. I love Phil, I love Dan being a fan of Phil. I like the teasing and the banter and the sexual tension. This cured all my ills. 

L'Histoire Française by @danfanciesphil

E 105.5k Teacher Phil and teaching assistant Dan. More lovely sexual tension with a good pay off. I had no ills left but I thought, while on a good writer’s page, might as well read some others too. I almost completed the set. 

L'Histoire de L'Amour by @danfanciesphil

E 2.9k a valentines day follow up to the above. Because I like to see them settled and happy. ahhhh. 

Raise your arms and hold by @danfanciesphil

M 10.3k Phil rents a flat across from Dan and their balconies face each other. Dan is depressed, Phil has plants. 

if there's a line, then I think that we crossed it by @tobieallison

Daddy Kink by @danfanciesphil

E 9k Phil thinks the daddy kink thing is weird until one day things change. The only daddy kink fic that needs to exist honestly. 

Frustration by ramonaspeaks

E 8.4k Dan has hand surgery and can’t do anything for himself. Phil helps out. 

Look don’t judge the amount of smut I read this week, okay? I had a really bad week and sometimes when I’m in a really dark place I like to read smut and see people be happy because fluff is too cloying for me in that headspace sometimes but smut doesn’t tend to be as like, nice. 

Temptations by ramonaspeaks

E 2.7k baking and then some getting together smut, perfect

Terrifying Truths And Drunken Dares by @danfanciesphil

E 9.8k Dan and Phil get drunk and play truth or dare. Yeah, I went back to Ellen’s page because I hadn’t read everything yet. 

Holding Back by ramonaspeaks

E 3k 2009 phan and Phil teaching Dan how to give him a blow job

The Hottest Day by ramonaspeaks

E 3k It’s a hot day and Dan has ice to cool down things take an interesting turn - some more getting together smut

Waking Up by ramonaspeaks

E 2.6k Uni AU where Dan stays in Phil’s dorm room and they wake up together

litany in which certain things are crossed out by nokomisfics, recklessfishes

E 21.4k another of my absolute favourites of all time. Dan is a writer and a bit shit and Phil is a student he has a one night stand with and then falls into a kind of fwb relationship with and its just so so good but I always manage to forget about the ambiguous ending when I read it and then I’m left a little sad 

naked sofa battle royale by @alittledizzy

E 1.3k Phil likes playing fornite naked and he likes incentives to win Dan takes advantage of that. 

the sun a souvenir by deletable_bird

E 10.8k Dan is an art student with a final assignment and no model. He meets Phil at a coffee shop. I also kind of had a thing for coffee shop AUs this week, as will become apparent. 

Immediate Family by sasiml

G 1.3k Dan and Cornelia talking about family and how they are the same but different. I already reblogged this but I’m adding it here too as I really do recommend it

shift into overdrive by @alittledizzy

E 1.2k Dan and Phil can’t have sex on the tour bus, but they can do other things. I had a bad week and I wanted to read my fave ever trope from one of my fave ever writers, okay?

keep a place for me by @waveydnp

E 14.1k I know everyone knows Sarah is a genius at this point but I don’t think this particular fic gets as much love as it should. YouTuber AU slow burn and a lot of sorting their shit out

waiting to be found by @alittledizzy

M 15.1k Dan and Phil meet at a club, and then again at a coffee shop and the universe must just want them that way.  I remember reading this as it came out and just loving it and I still love it with every re-read. (17 times according to ao3 because I always open entire work at once)

waiting outside the lines by @alittledizzy

T 22.8k There is a coffee shop and some uni parties as a music festival and charlie is there along with Cat but it isn’t angsty, they’re just figuring stuff out and it’s beautiful. The ending is wonderful. 

closer to where I started by @alittledizzy

M 10.6k Dan gets injured and Phil worries and it leads them to some big decisions (dw, Dan is fine in the end) This kind of hurt/comfort is the best tbh. If you’re on a Dizzy kick and re-reading, you can’t not re-read this one, can you?

get me up get me out (of my mind) by @alittledizzy

E 2k Phil is having some issues, but Dan is there to help. I love Phil in this, and I love Dan. I love it all. 

back to those tokyo nights by @waveydnp

M 3k this coincidentally dropped as I was reading the previous and my ‘Phil being his age’ thirst was well and truly quenched. I love Phil being older, I love mentions of him doing their taxes. I love him being insecure about it and Dan assuring him he still thinks he’s really fucking hot. But most of all I love how true this is to the depiction of a long-term relationship. How predictability doesn’t necessarily mean boring It mean you’ve worked out what you like. how damn, this is a good fic.

E 14.4k Phone sex, and kind of fwb. They have phone sex alot until they move in together and then it stops. Until it doesn’t.

My Spirit Self: Vanessa (pt 2)

She's gentler-er and more regal in appearance. She's uptight sometimes and gets her feathers get ruffled up a bit. She's got cake face too. 😆 It's a condition, contagious because of social programing... Like insta whore lol whoring out thier image all over the internet....yeah Vanessa is vain and prideful. There are good things about her too. She's sweet, caring, thoughtful, and shit. She has more patience than me. 🤣 Well...she looks like Rose from Titanic but hair color is redish-blond, long lose curls and eye color is "gold/yello". Not clear on the height but that's not really important. Hair is usually up with some pieces hanging out about shoulder length. What she wears? At lot! LMAO ...She likes the dress Rose wears at the end.

Vanessa and higher self created this life I'm living. On the otherside we don't have the negative emotions when we map out our. So when she created my life she put everything in this higher self in the computer like a disk and she plays me. Think of the Sims.

The Sims is the best representation of higher/spirit self and your incarnation.

She (for sake of saying) "allows" me to go rogue and stuff but then she influences action in me for the purpose of learning and growth. If you've played the game all of this should make sense to you. If not, look it up on YouTube or try it yourself to get a better understanding but I think it's been explained simple enough but it's okay to ask questions 😆👌🏼 I don't mind. I can do another graph. I love that game lol. Especially making my enemies die a horrible slow death. Kidding it's just my dark humor. Don't worry. I just don't have time for that but it's hilarious.

So when does Vanessa "intervene"?

Okay I said this before... It's not possession. Shes like a spirit guide leading to get me out of my comfort zone and be more feminine. She's like my higher self... Relaying the information it gives her like when you use a computer to get information. Spirit self dose that. Higher self can "speak" too I guess. It's like talking to a computer. No emotion. At all. Sounds very flat.

This is not multiple personality or schizophrenia or disassociative PERSONALITY disorder. Personality disorders are not illnesses or disabilities, look it up... *in a butchered Mr T voice* "Educate yo-self foo!" It's part of your personality. I'm fully aware of my surroundings; I don't have blackouts or wonder how I ended up taking a shit at McDonald's. It's not like I go around downtown talking to myself or 🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 telling everyone how I'm here to save the world and the CIA fuckin employed me to kill "bad people", I'm not paranoid that my cat is plotting to kill me and I'm sorry I'm too much of a pussy to kill living things....roaches don't count. Notice how those things are negative? Your spitual alternates exist like spirit guides with a goal to get you to level up or grow from playing this game of life. They guide you to be the best you can be. This is the point of being alive. You have challenges no matter how big or small. They are there for a reason. If you kill your avatar or kill yourself, you kinda have to have another try and it's not always going to be the same life as before. Sure the same elements are there.

For Erik his "karma" might be another go but reversed.

In terms of just our relationship, him male, me female him having my shitty life experience or whatever. Well he killed himself and me idk I don't think it will be very much like his life because I've "leveled up" since the last time we incarnated together. He's just now caught up with me as a spirit whose learned his lesson. I fucking sure hope so. When I die I'm going to give him an ass whipping and a 👋🏼😆 smack upside the head Roflmao 🤣. When you pass this incarnation or get to move on to a new level or life, you plan your next life adding more obstacles and shit. Maybe instead of him being "the runner" I would play hard to get or something. What he gets for leaving me hanging in every life. Fucker... 😒 I'm still a little little bit ticked off about that.

... Seriously, no. I'm pretty fucking grounded 😔.

Probably too grounded and analytical. I'm always thinking and problem solving. I love puzzles and mysteries. Thank God for those murder mysteries from Time line. Aren't they the shit?! "Unsolved" or real life "Coldcases" I want to be a detective when I grow up 🤣. Not the really really fake ones like Dexter or CSI Or NCIS.( I love Denozo...) because we all know Tv is a lie... Just like "The 🎂" if get the joke, I fucking love you.

Again these are my experiences and is what makes perfect sense to me. However I hope it's thought provoking.

In part 3 I'm breaking down the spiritual alter list. I've done it before but I'll do it again.

😘 💞 💕 ❤️ Have a great weekend!

Inspired by @dialup2002 to post some more old stuff. :) This is a desktop screenshot I posted on my DevART account January 2005. Kicking it with Windows XP, but I loved/preferred the classic style that I was accustom to (95-98-ME). I made the wallpaper used, but I’m having trouble finding a copy of it. I’ll prob try to remake it in non-1024x768 resolution lmao. Not sure if this is from 2005. It might have been from 2004, but I hadn’t posted it yet. I did that a lot. Some fun notes about some of the software icons pictured (lots of info):

Firefox - THE FIRST BROWSER TO DO TABS OMG. I was a huge advocate for Firefox, especially in its initial releases. They were doing things on the internet nobody had really seen up to that point, and made it popular! Since I had so many issues (as most people do) with Internet Explorer, I was shopping around for a new browser at the time of this shot. Google Chrome didn’t exist yet. (Can you imagine??)

IE - As stated above, I disliked IE. It was kept for various reasons, however. Such as testing website layouts, since the mass-majority of people used it and things looked different in browsers when you were coding.

Opera - While giving Firefox a try, I also managed to snag a very, very early copy of Opera. I’ve always been the type of person that loved to try out new stuff as early as possible, and this was a very special piece of software that I wanted to give a go. The reason that it was special? You had to send away for a CD for it. That’s right, kids. They snail-mail’ed me a CD because it was considered “commercial software.” I paid to get that browser lmfao. I was super super hyped later in 2005, because it became “freeware” and I was able to more-easily push my friends to try it out. The devs were (and still are) seriously awesome. This is why I still use Opera as my main browser today! Ya’ll should try it if you aren’t already! You can even use your most-beloved Chrome extensions on it. :)

Soulseek & WinMX - Holy crap, you guys! lmao Is anyone here old enough to remember these programs?? XD This was basically where most people went after Napster bit the dust. This was when we were all scrambling, trying to find a new P2P sharing program. This was right in-between the eMule/Donkey phase and before the Limewire/KaZaA fiascos where people’s computers were being overloaded with viruses from companies trying to stop pirating. Ahh, the wild, wild west... Days were so exciting when you spent hours downloading something that could potentially ruin your computer lmao

WS_FTP - Still one of my favorite FTP programs for Windows! Works like a charm! These days I use Transmit 5 for Mac, but this was my first program ever for file transfer protocol. It’s basically a tool for uploading files to my website’s server, because back when I first registered it, there was no web uploader for that kinda stuff. Now I stick with that because it’s easier and I’m used to it lol

Veo Digital Studio - Used to use this for my webcam back before webcams were built into laptops, and before they were common enough to have amazing freeware available for them.  (Also this is hilarious.) The quality was horrible, but I was hella excited to take pictures and share them with friends and on my blog at the time. From what I remember, there was something I used after this that was some type of South Korean selca software. Haduri? Something like that. It was really cute and even let you do little animations. :) 

Animation Shop - Okay. So... from what I remember, this might have been owned by the people that made Paint Shop Pro? I think it was Corel. I honestly don’t remember where I got this from, but this is what I used to use to make animated gifs (because Photoshop just....didn’t for some reason? I had to use PSP at some point, I remember that. I just don’t remember why lmao. It might have been my copy didn’t allow it, or my computer was just too shit to run it good enough, or just stopped working because....Windows). 

Adobe Photoshop 5.0 - I originally got this rip from a friend of mine, whose dad got a CD from his company that he worked at. It was an official/real license, which was really awesome! I think this was the first version of Photoshop I ever owned (!!), which is pretty amazing to think about about! I had that CD copy for a few years. I initially was gifted a copy of the CD around 2001-2002 or so. I know for a fact I had newer versions (7.0 was legend before CS suite came around), so I’m not sure why I was using this one at this point lmao. My guess is, like mentioned above, something happened with my computer and I didn’t want to format it and reinstall everything lol or because it was the fastest version I had installed to boot up and do a quick photo edit.

Adobe Photoshop 7.0 - I do remember this took a long time to start up. I can only imagine this was like a bad pirated copy or something, or was so bloated with new stuff in it, and that’s why I kept 5.0 for a quick boot. I know I used this majority of the time, though. Most of my backups for brushes and fonts are from backups that include 7.0 as a zip. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  My computer wasn’t the most powerful at the time, despite what I pushed it to do, so this is prob why.  But hell yeah! Photoshop represent! lol I still use it today, and its still one of the first things I install on a fresh OS install. Enjoying CC 2017 these days.

Nero Start Smart - I was so excited to make mix CDs and share them! Back in the day before you had stuff like playlists that were sharable on YouTube/Spotify, etc, you had this to share music. Or play in your car. Or CD walkman. Nero was a software you could burn your CD-Rs and make your own laser-etched album art! I begged for years to get a CD burner lmao. Back when casette tapes were still around enough that my parents were like “but why???” lmao. They were not common back in the day like they became over time, just, like, included on your computer. Back then you had to buy one and install it into your computer tower yourself! I got mine I believe.....in 2001? It was the year after the Playstation 2 was released. The first one I got was just a very standard burner. Did a very specific type of CD burning at a low (slow af) speed. It was $700 lmfao. Let that sink in for a minute because my parents didn’t let me forget about it for the next four years lmfao. I saved up birthday and Christmas money and went halves on it. Then I upgraded to the one that this one was! c: Which did the laser etching, and DVD burning! (And you better believe I was burning DVDs of stuff I was downloading online lmfao this was the golden age of the internet where everything was just available everywhere as long as you had the patience to download that shit, because it took forever to download)

Volume Control - My dad and I messed with the wires on all of these random computer speakers and stereo speakers that we had collected over the years and hotwired our own version of a 5.0 surround sound in the room, which was mounted to the ceiling corners and above the computer station. It was lit. I needed Volume Control easily accessible because sometimes the speakers needed redirecting, or I needed to turn the beats down because my mother was tired of my fifth time playing the Gundam Wing OSTs and Miyavi. (It was metal, okay???)

Windows Media Player - I did not use this to listen to media. Let me reiterate that. I did not use it to listen to media on. lol this was specifically used to rip tracks from CDs that friends lent me, because it was the easiest software I was able to use to change the KBPs for quality control and the ID3 tags so I could save it and organize it for use in Winamp and know wtf I was listening to lol. Nobody used WMP for listening to music.... xD 

Winamp - The best music player. Period. Still. Nothing beats it. Pls, pls, Nullsoft! Come back and make a native version for MacOS. :’((((  I would buy it! Doesn’t even have to have new features or look different. Classic look, pls pls! 

Media Player Classic - Do people still use it??? This player was amazing! Paired with k-lite codec pack, it played everything. It was like VLC before VLC. And it looked good. Clean. Small. Could be installed anywhere which was nice. And the codec packs just made everything look and run fantastic! 

Recycle Bin - .... Trash XD 

Magnifier - This was for my dad because he had bad eyes and couldn’t remember CTRL +/-/0 to increase the text on pages that he wanted to read.

My Documents - Where I saved all the stuff I downloaded. Not the real My Docs. Just a folder that I named as such, with a custom icon. I don’t know why I wanted it there lol. I think to just have a uniform square on my desktop haha

Journal - I renamed this. I forget the original name of the client, but it was the official client of LJ. It was basically a program that let you write up posts for Livejournal and you could format things, draft them, etc, and post without uploading to your journal/blog. I liked it because sometimes I couldn’t post right away, and it made making drafts a lot easier for me to go back and edit. It also let you edit past posts, which was really convenient instead of looking for it on the web version one post at a time.

AIM+ - I loved AOL Instant Messenger, but over time the ads became too much. I invested a lot of time in 3rd party clients. I was constantly switching between AIM+, Adium, DeadAIM, Pigeon, Trillion, etc. Depended on what I wanted to do that day. Want to clone a SN? Want to skin the colors of the chats? Need transparency? Want to customize your lists? Want to log into more than one msg system at once? They all had their strengths. This was my msg service of choice. Back in the day you were either on this, MSN, or Yahoo!. Some people rocked ICQ and there were a few others, but these were the most common from who I knew/hung out with. I miss those days. <3 

You can see WinMX running in the taskbar lmfao so I was prob downloading something at the time of snagging this quick shot. I also had DevART open (prob because I was gonna share this on there). I really wish I had more programs open at the time of this! XD It’s wild to look back at some of the software changes over the years!

Anyway, that’s one of my oldest screenshots that I can find that I’m able to share right now. :) I’m going to be posting a remake of that wallpaper that I did later today for those of you that want that, too.

If you read this far, thank you!! Hope you had fun reading about old stuff!

In Your Arms (G)

This gift is for: @cockymclaughlin I hope you like this! I kinda took some liberties with your prompt, since it’s very wide and vague heheh, so I hope this one would at least hit you in the feels lol. It’s G-rated (sorry if you’re expecting smut!) but it has a lot of pining!Rhett and the title is “In Your Arms”. From your Secret Santa, Kay (AKA @stargazingbros)

Read below:

“So, what about it? Cool idea, huh?”

Ellie beamed at her two bosses at the end of the long meeting table in the crowded room. Everybody else was buzzing with the possibilities and already adding more plans among themselves. However, it all boils down to the two men who has the magic to make one random crazy idea into a viral Youtube video. While Link seemed confused but intrigued, evident from his furrowed eyebrows and eager waving hands, Rhett was the epitome of stoicism. His entire posture did not budge as he remained leaned back in his seat with his arms crossed, cool as a cucumber.

“Let me get this straight, this lady, this person, is a professional cuddle therapist?” asked Link, incredulous.

“Only in LA, man,” giggled Alex. “Only in LA.”

“Yes!” said Ellie, getting more excited by the minute. “So, the pitch is you and Rhett will test out whether cuddling works to calm your heart rates down during stressful situations. So, maybe we can have the therapist suggest different positions—”

“Wait,” said Link as took off his glasses and started massaging his temples, already readying himself for the worst. “Tell us more about these ‘stressful situations’.”

Ellie’s grin spread wider as she rattled on a list of horrible things, gradually becoming more horrifying after the next. “Smearing dog poop on your clothes, setting off firecrackers on the set—”

“No, that will be horrible for audio,” Stevie interrupted. “We can always just make them sit in a plexiglass with a snake again?”

“God, no!” cried Link, to the laughter of everyone in the room. “No more snakes!”

“I really like the plexiglass idea though. Maybe we can make a plexiglass area where Rhett and Link can sit in … like on a bed,” said Ellie slowly as her eyes gleamed at the thought. Other crew members nodded along.

“I don’t know, guys,” said Link, giggling nervously. “Cuddling on a bed? That feels a bit much.”

“Oh come on, the Mythical Beasts will love it!” said Stevie, “You two canoodling in a video? 100k views easy.”

“Tumblr will go nuts. The fanfics they’ll write about …” gushed Chase. 

 “What do you think, Rhett?” asked Link.

All eyes went to Rhett, who seemed to be more interested with the surface of the meeting room table for some reason. Link studied his best friend of more than 30 years closely. It was unlike Rhett to remain silent during a brainstorming session. Knowing Rhett, and Link knew him in ways that even Jessie couldn’t fathom, the older man would have shot so many questions or at least poked fun at the thought that cuddling could be a career path for some people. But Rhett stayed silent, his hand absentmindedly stroking the beard along his jaw. A nervous tick Link recognised so well.

“Sounds good,” said Rhett, finally, “I like the plexiglass idea and the whole bed thing. Let’s figure out what to put in there.”

Having gotten the greenlight, the room erupted with ideas. Somebody mentioned cockroaches while another joked about placing Trump paraphernalia onto the bed. While the crew was wrapped in their own conversations, Link leaned in to Rhett, his face inches from the crook of the man’s neck. They may have amassed more employees than they could ever imagine, but it was easy from them to slip into their own intimate bubble. Sometimes they even forget other people were in the room and the others respected their need for space.

“So, you’re looking forward to having me in your arms, buddyroll?” asked Link softly, a hint of tease but also, quiet curiosity.

Rhett then turned to Link, a quirk of a smile forming on his lips while his gaze met Link’s. It looked almost sad.

“Wouldn’t be the first time, would it?”

Rhett tried to drown his sorrow and bitterness with paper cup after paper cup of soft drink. He felt his bow tie was stifling him while the new shirt he borrowed from Cole certainly didn’t charm any of the ladies at this stupid dance. Sure, maybe he didn’t try hard enough to score a dance or two but the girls definitely didn’t make it any easier. Walking in hordes like one herd of taffeta sheep. When Rhett finally plopped his rejected butt onto the bench in the school hall, which had been decorated with festive banners and balloons, he knew he would be spending his entire night there.

Truth to be told, he predicted this weeks ago when the school first announced about the Sadie Hawkins dance. The girl decides. The girl chooses her partner. And Rhett was not a choice they made. He expected it. It didn’t hurt any less though. Right now, he was just praying for the hours to slip by so Sue, Link’s mum, could finally pick them up.

Link. Boy wonder. Even among the many couples on the dance floor, Rhett could easily spot Link and his girlfriend, Amber. They were inseparable, shimmying to every hit song, stealing kisses when the adult chaperones are not watching and still leaving some space between them for Jesus. When Link showed up at his doorstep that night, handsome in a rented suit with a pinned corsage, he looked nothing like the nervous wreck he had been the day before.

“You gotta help me, man. I don’t know how to dance with a girl! I will look like a total idiot!” said Link, breathless from the bike ride and sheer nerves.

“You think I know any better?” scoffed Rhett.

They went straight to Cole’s bedroom. After a few minutes of frantic pleading and promises of future deeds, Rhett and Link found themselves squaring each other in the middle of Cole’s bedroom as the older boy dictated pointers.

“Okay, first, hold your hand’s date like this—”

“Ew, Link! Why is your hand so clammy!”

“I’m nervous, okay! Even my pits are—”

“Shut up! Both of you!” groaned Cole, pressing the boys’ hands together, “Link, put your hand on Rhett’s waist. That’s what you do to the girl, okay?”

“Why am I the girl?” balked Rhett but bit his tongue when he felt Link softly placed his hand on his hip. This wasn’t like any of the touches they had shared before, rough and casual. Rhett felt a nervous flutter passed through him, which he had been getting more and more lately. Rhett cleared his throat.

“No music?” asked Link, completely oblivious.

Cole waved his hand at Link’s question. “No, we’re sticking to the simple stuff. Just a two-step. Nothing fancy that you two amateurs can’t handle.”

But Cole may have overestimated them as they both swayed to imaginary music, taking turns to yelp when one stomped on the other’s foot and bumping into every furniture in the room. Half an hour later, when Cole nearly lost his patience, the boys finally found their rhythm together. They glided through the small bedroom, even having a go at spinning one another. The music was their carefree giggles and it was a familiar sound that have been serenading their friendship since. Even Cole began to lighten up.

By the end of it, Rhett had forgotten his little flutter.

“Wait, wait,” said Link suddenly, a hint of pink crept onto his cheeks, “What about … the slow dance?”

 “Well, Link, just put your arms around your girl—”

When Rhett felt Link’s arms around his waist, closing in already the small space between them, Rhett jumped like he touched a livewire. He almost fell backwards into his brother’s pile of dirty laundry.

“We are NOT doing that,” spat Rhett, running his hand over his mussed hair. “And why am I the girl again!”

“Because he’s the one with a date,” retorted Cole, delivering a sting only siblings could.

The flutter had returned but evolved into a heart-thumping panic. Rhett wasn’t supposed to feel this way about a boy, especially about his best friend, Link. He is not a girl. Rhett could feel his face heating up, which was the last thing he needed under the scrutiny of Link and Cole’s gaze.

 “Nope, I’m done here,” said Rhett, avoiding Link’s eyes as he backed away to the door.

“Come on now, Rhett,” mumbled Link. “It’s just practice.”

Rhett didn’t say another word and walked out of the room. However, before he closed the door behind him, he couldn’t resist a peek. Cole had moved into his spot, patiently giving more instructions to Link. As he watched his best friend swayed in the arms of his own brother, Rhett could never forget the disappointment etched on Link’s face nor the intensity in Link’s eyes as he watched him leave. Rhett slammed the door shut, feeling guilty and dirty at the same time.

So, it was a fitting punishment for Rhett when he found himself utterly alone during the Sadie Hawkins dance. He deserved it. Meanwhile, Link was having the time of his life with his girlfriend, no doubt showing off the moves Cole taught him and perhaps even more.

Another flutter passed through his heart. Rhett crushed the paper cup in his hands.

Rhett knew this day would come. A day where Link would go somewhere he could not follow. However, he didn’t know it would be so soon or that Rhett couldn’t even catch up.  Girls. Even if Amber wasn’t his girlfriend or didn’t ask him to the dance, other girls were waiting to snatch him up. Just moments prior, he overheard a group of his classmates gushing and sighing by the punch bowl, their eyes watched Link and his date enviously. Rhett couldn’t tell when it happened but one day, Link went from just a silly anxious kid he knew to somebody garnering a second look and a bashful giggle. He wasn’t just his best friend Link, he became something more.

Except it wasn’t just the girls that noticed him.

Rhett stood up, ready to make another trek to the food table when he felt somebody tugging his elbow.

“Where are you going, brother!” roared a familiar voice.

Even in the dim lighting of the school hall, Link’s eyes simply beamed with delight. His face was flushed pink with a sheen of sweat from dancing all night. He eagerly motioned Rhett to sit back down while laughter escaped freely from his lips.

“Oh man, I’m having the best night ever! Did you see me, Rhett? Did you see all my moves?” asked Link. He held out his arms and started to sway, as though he was dancing with an invisible partner.

Despite himself, Rhett laughed. “Yeah, man, you were great out there! You both were. I thought you guys were never gonna leave the dance floor.”

“Me too! Did you see Amber in that dress? Pretty amazing huh?” Link wiggled his eyebrows. “So, which lucky lady did you dance with? I didn’t notice you there.”

Rhett was thankful that the lighting couldn’t reveal how red his face had become. “Oh … you know. Just some girls. Ladies. It wasn’t really …”

“Wait, you didn’t dance at all? Not even once?”

Rhett tried to shrug casually but he was fooling no one, let alone Link. So, he let his bitterness seeped through.

“It’s the Sadie Hawkins dance, man. The girl chooses, and … nobody chose me. And I didn’t ask. That’s just the luck of the draw and it ain’t my night. It happens! Can we not talk about it?” said Rhett, noticing his voice was cracking. He wanted to the floor to swallow him whole.

They both sat quietly on the bench for a few minutes when Link suddenly stood up. Rhett thought that Link spotted his date and was ready to resume his night of fun, way more fun than moping around with Rhett, until Link held out his hand to him. Rhett shot a shocked look to his best friend’s face then to the hand and then back to Link. There was only the softest smile greeting him. The flutter came back in full force.

“Link, what …” Rhett was rendered speechless.

He couldn’t possibly think that Rhett—hell, the entire school—would be okay if they just started dancing on the dance floor together. Two boys from North Carolina don’t just do that. It was not right.

Then, Link leaned closer. “Get up, man. Let’s go outside. I need some fresh air.”

Rhett nodded awkwardly as he grasped Link’s hand and hoisted himself up. Of course, Link meant that. The night could not simply get any worse. Rhett now really wished the floor would swallow and chew him up whole. Anything to distract the thought that for a second he thought Link would ask him something he didn’t even dare to even consider.

Rhett trailed behind Link miserably as they exited the hall.

The November wind was chilly as it embraced the two scrawny boys outdoors. Both boys immediately started rubbing their arms and hands, adding a spring to their step in order to stay warm. The moon, however, was more welcoming in its soft bright glow. If he squinted, Rhett could probably see his house from where they stood. The music from inside the hall could still be heard beyond its walls.

Rhett had to admit, despite everything, the night was beautiful and he was relieved that there was a moment of respite. Most importantly, he was glad he was sharing it with Link and nobody else.

“Feeling better?” asked Link, breaking the silence with a grin. Rhett returned the smile and nodded.

“You know, Rhett,” began Link slowly. “I had a really wonderful time tonight.”

“Yeah, I bet.” Rhett snorted.

“But the whole time, I was thinking of you.”

Rhett stilled, not willing to jump into conclusions again.

“The whole time I was with her, I was thinking about what I’m gonna tell you. How I felt when we first got here. How Amber looked. Which song I love to dance to the most. I just couldn’t wait to tell you all of it.”

“You still can, bo. I’m all ears,” said Rhett quietly.

“Then I realised, it just didn’t feel right. Like I was missing something.”

Before Rhett could say another word, Link had stepped in front of him. In the moonlight, Link looked even more handsome, almost breathtaking. Hell, if anybody asked Rhett, Link was probably the handsomest boy in the entire Buies Creek. The chilly night air had brought out the blush in his ample cheeks while the wind coyly played with the strands of his hair. However, the boy had never been more beautiful to Rhett until he held out his hand to him again, just like moments before. Except the invitation was clear this time. There was no mistaking it.

“Rhett, can I have this dance?”

Then, the first few piano notes of a familiar song began playing in the school hall speakers. It was a song they both love, sang by a man they both adore. Lionel Richie.

My love, there’s only you in my life. The only thing that’s right.

Rhett was so lost in Link’s blue eyes that he didn’t realise he had stepped forward and took the boy’s open hand. His heartbeat was so loud in his mind that Rhett didn’t notice when Link had placed Rhett’s hands on his own waist. He couldn’t even register that it was Link’s arms cradling around his neck. It was the slow dance that he had rejected the day before, that he didn’t think he deserved. But Rhett was not being the girl that night, neither was Link. He was the boy having his first formal dance with the only partner he ever wanted or needed.

My first love, you’re every breathe that I take. You’re every step I make.

“Link, I, we—”

“Relax, Rhett,” whispered Link softly as he let his body rest against his, “It’s just us.”

And I, I want to share all my love with you. No one else will do.

As Rhett held the boy closer, feeling the warmth of his partner’s body as they swayed tenderly to the music, Rhett felt tears forming in his eyes. His face was tingly from the cold while his lips were numb. But nothing mattered because his best friend was looking at him as though it was Rhett who was giving him the best night of his life, not the other way around.

And your eyes, they tell me how much you care. Ooh yes, you will always be my endless love.

For months, maybe even longer than that, Rhett knew what the flutter in his heart meant. Rhett was in love with his best friend. Another boy. It didn’t come to him by surprise, he wasn’t shocked when the feeling settled in his heart, but he was devastated. It could never be, it would never happen. Never in the South. Not in this lifetime.

Rhett had felt so angry about it, that he felt he was cursed to never be truly happy.

And yet, there he was, wrapped in the arms of the boy he loves, feeling nothing but bliss. As Link laid his head against his chest, Rhett had never been more at peace. He wanted to stay in that moment forever.

Then, they both heard her at the same time.

Somewhere nearby, around the corner of the building, Amber could be heard calling out to her date, “Link? Are you out here? Where are you?”

Rhett flopped his hands to the side. Reality had sunk in. “She’s looking for you.”

“I could … I could make her wait …” Link’s words faltered.

But Rhett shook his head softly. He gathered Link’s hands off his shoulders and returned them back to him.

“No, that’s not right. She’s your date, Link.”

Rhett watched desperately as Link straightened himself and walked away. He could feel the tears that were brimming his eyes threatening to slip down his face. Maybe in a different universe, they could be more than best friends. But not in this one, not with anyone else around.

Suddenly, Link stopped and glanced back, “Will you wait for me, Rhett?”

Rhett didn’t really know why that piece of memory kept coming back to him. As the filming day for the cuddling segments inched closer, the evening of the Sadie Hawkins dance kept playing in his mind.

Rhett felt as though a million years had passed since that evening of being left alone outside the school hall. Since then, they had been in each other’s arms more than he could count, whether it was a drunk night of spooning during college or sharing a motel bed in their early days of road-tripping for Internetainment or even just acting for the camera. They both had fallen in and out love with various girls in their lives. Rhett even had a brief relationship with Amber in high school. They both found and married their current partners, had children and became the men they are now today.

And yet, his mind kept revisiting that moment. Just the two of them slow dancing underneath the clear night sky while no one was watching.

“Are you okay, Rhett?” Link’s voice broke through his reverie.

They were in their changing room and had just been handed matching baby blue onesies. Another idea cooked up by Ellie, “for maximum shipping effect” as she said. Rhett already donned his and was zipping up.

“Just that … you’ve been awfully quiet today.”

“Wouldn’t you be if you’re about to get big ass cockroaches dumped on you?”

“Just checking,” Link chuckled. “Oh, don’t forget to put this on.”

Link grabbed a heart monitor wristband off their table and then carefully strapped it on his best friend’s wrist. Just like a corsage. Rhett quickly shook his head away from the intrusive thought.

Link raised an eyebrow at Rhett but didn’t prod any further. “Well, I’m going to the bathroom for a quick pee break. You can go to the set first if you want.”

“Nah, I’ll wait for you.”

Rhett sat quietly, staring at his own reflection in the mirror, when he felt a familiar flutter. Rhett shifted uncomfortably in his seat, rubbing his beard for assurance. Isn’t he too old for these heart-thumping moments, especially regarding his best friend? Haven’t they moved on pass this? Hasn’t he?

Then, he caught sight on the new Buddy System 2 poster, tacked on the wall behind him. He recalled telling journalists about their new Youtube Red show, that it was based on the idea of them meeting each other for the first time as adults in a different universe.

“In a different universe,” muttered Rhett to himself and then, it slowly dawned on him.

He remembered when Link finally walked back into the school hall, with an arm around Amber, that his younger self could not stop crying. It was as though years of hidden conflicting emotions burst forth in that moment. Rhett remembered how desperately he swiped away the tears with his cold numb fingers while repeatedly pleading to himself, “please stop, just stop”.

But Rhett also recalled how he had started laughing. Rhett remembered his younger self holding up his own hands, the ones that had just embraced his best friend, and looking at them as though seeing them for the first time.

Link had asked him to dance. Link had wanted to stay. Link had chosen him over Amber and all the other girls vying for his attention that night. In all his private wildest fantasies, he never thought that Link would have chosen him just as he was.

Perhaps it was that night that Rhett had decided that he would stick with Link for the rest of his life. That even if they couldn’t truly be together, that Rhett would be expected to wait by the side for many years to come, he would still do it in a heartbeat. After all, haven’t they done so in most of their Youtube sketches? How many universes have they lived out where the only thing that remained true through in all of them was their love for one another?

Lionel Richie was right. Their love was an endless one, beyond any easy labels.

When Link came back into the changing room, Rhett did the only logical thing: he engulfed the man in a tight bear hug.

“Whoa! Rhett? Are you sure you’re okay?” yelped Link, aghast in the man’s surprise embrace. The sudden mood change from pensive detachment to giddy affection took him off-guard.

“Relax, Link,” said Rhett with a wink after he let the man go. “It’s just practice.”

Rhett didn’t really need the writers to create videos to give them an excuse to “canoodle”. He didn’t need a cuddle therapist to tell him which positions work best. Hell, he didn’t even need a heart rate monitor to tell him what he already knew. Even as he was surrounded by people who were screaming and laughing, with Link holding onto his shoulders with a vice grip while giant cockroaches crawled all over their bodies on a bed fenced by plexiglass, Rhett was amused to witness something that confirmed what he had always believed in.

“Look, look! Look at my heart rate,” said Rhett in a voice filled with wonder, his arms holding onto Link tightly. “My heart rate was down to 75.”

For Rhett, the only peace he had ever felt was within Link’s embrace and he would wait as many years, in all the universes, just to experience a moment of that bliss.

so I saw @drowsymanatee‘s fish timeline and saw a few other people do theirs as well and since I have a similar “started from the bottom” type timeline, here we go

Under a cut because large images lol

Age 5+

My first childhood fish and first real pet was a comet goldfish won at a fair when I was very young. Obviously the care was mostly in the hands of my mom and she did decently well for the fish, I think. At first, he lived in a small one gallon tank with another goldfish and a bunch of guppies (not the fancy kind... just regular guppies). I have a picture of that somewhere but can’t seem to find it currently. But eventually, he got moved into a 55 gallon with various other goldfish and it turned out he was actually a decently fancy veiltail and he turned completely white and lived ~8 years and maxed at ~8 inches long in the body, nearly a foot with his tail included. He should have been in a pond and the tank was way overstocked with fancies and single tails with nowhere near enough filtration.

Age ~12?

I also had a fish that was “mine” for a while who lived in a 10 gallon tank outside my bedroom that I called “Neighbor Fish” that I think was actually a silver dollar. My mom had tried to set up a tropical community with fish her friend didn’t want anymore and Neighbor Fish was an asshole to the other fish (I don’t blame him) so got separated and lived in the 10 gallon until his heater malfunctioned one day and cooked him. No pictures but I technically was in charge of him for a while and would feed him (but didn’t do water changes) Poor dude.

Age 19

In the beginning of my sophomore year at college, my ex and I decided to get two betta fish together. We kept them in one of those terrible 1/2 gallon “tanks”. They were named Michael and Lucifer because we thought we were clever lol

My suitemate who kept a betta in a heated, filtered 5 gallon told me it wouldn’t work longterm and I’d need a heater at least, so I got one of those but didn’t get a bigger tank. Yeah, needless to say, Lucifer passed within a month and Michael looked like this:

He clearly has fin rot in this picture and is underweight, stress stripey and just awful looking but I had no clue. I was distracted by my friends and by my relationship and I did do a 100% water change every week or so, but mostly I didn’t pay attention to Michael at all... eventually, I got him an “upgrade” into a 1 gallon tank with a bubbler from Petco that was on sale... and then second semester sophomore year, my friend went abroad, my ex was busy with rushing a frat and I had more free time... and that’s when the special interest level of fish research began.

First “real” tank, February 2014

I upgraded Michael to a heated, filtered 2.5 gallon after reading a lot on betta forums. I was taking a break from tumblr at the time but I eventually came back on tumblr that summer and discovered fishblr.

Soon, Michael looked like this:

I was really getting fond of him and the difference was incredible. 

Second tank, March 2014

Within a month I got a 5.5 gallon tank and a second betta named Kaiju. It was hideous and had bright blue gravel and didn’t have a lid for a long time.

First divider attempt, 3rd fish

So yeah, like an idiot, I tried to divide the 5.5 gallon tank with a craft mesh divider. Didn’t go so well, both fish were very stressed and I returned my third fish, Kenway, but actually went back and rebought him a few weeks later. 

And promptly panicked thinking my parents would hate me for having three fish tanks (lol in retrospect this is hilarious), so Kenway lived with my boyfriend for the summer and got less than stellar care.

Third tank, 4th fish

So as soon as I got home for the summer, I promptly got a third fish anyway... I had never seen a plakat betta in person before and the majority of fish I’d seen were not that interesting color-wise either and Odysssey was just... a dream. He lived in a 1.5 gallon Tetra cube which I actually really liked the look of... but was far too small.

Also, Kaiju got sand and a lid and his tank looked no longer super awful except it turned out the sand I got was too fine and developed some wicked anaerobic bacteria smell and it was awful. I replaced it with black sand within a few months lol

Age 20, Junior Year 2014-15

So I went back to school with three fish, plus Kenway who I took back not long after coming back. Michael passed in September and not long after, I got my first female betta, Wyn.

These were my tanks at this point:

And Wyn, when I first got her:

Divided 10, January 2015

So I found a $5 ten gallon at Good Will over winter break and divided Wyn and Odyssey (which was dumb) with a DIY mesh divider (which was not safe) and lit it with an under cabinet light ducktaped to the wall (which looked hideous holy shit)

Second divided 10 gallon

Found a $15 10 gallon with an Aquaclear filter (my first HOB) and a hood so I upgraded Kenway and Kaiju to an equally unsafe and ugly divided 10 but at least it was slightly less ugly. 

Then, that summer I took all my fish on an 8 hour road trip to NJ to be babysat by roommate while I was in Europe? I’m not sure why that was necessary but ok

First single betta 10 gallon, July 2015

About a month after returning from Europe, Odyssey unfortunately passed away. I decided to keep Wyn by herself in the 10 gallon because she loved the space so much. And I got an actual light. Wyn had grown into a beautiful lady fish and she was the best and most precious thing in the world to me.

No more divided tanks, Octoberish 2015 idk

Kaiju developed a tumor sometime in the beginning of my senior year of college and as his swimming began to deteriorate, I moved him into his own 10 gallon. Despite his tumor, he actually outlived Wyn, who passed unexpectedly after a year and one month with her.

Kaiju just before I put him to sleep:

And my Wyn’s resting place:

I cried for days after Wyn passed and didn’t really want much to do with the hobby. I still had Kenway but mostly just maintained his tank and didn’t do much with him. He was pretty slowed down by his big fins and was going blind.

Age 21, February 2016

After a few months, I brought home Durriyah, a new lady betta and put her in a HIDEOUS 10 gallon by herself ft. return of the awful blue gravel

Age 22, still 2016

I graduated and came home with two bettas in 10 gallon tanks. Towards the end of the summer, Kenway passed away, and I got Zazzle. And then a month later impulse bought Buzz and set up the third 10 gallon and got a rack. My ability to not make tanks look like garbage had improved significantly.

March 2017, Planted, Community Tank and Exponential Tank Increase Begins

So this is getting long as fuck but ok, in March I got ~employed~ so decided I had money for trying out planted tanks. Bad mistake, 10/10 do not recommend for the sake of your wallet. I also got into a bunch of fish Youtubers and tried out some DIY shit and became way more present in fishblr but also branched out more

I also added a small school of 8 ember tetras in my 10 gallon tank with Zazzle

They did pretty well together!

One month later (after some rearranging and some plant death)

20gal community, May?? Idk what is time

So then the next big fish thing was my decision to upgrade the planted 10 to a 20 and start an actual tropical community.

Planted 20 when first set up:

Most recent picture of the planted 20 ft. dwarf gourami, harlequin rasboras, ember tetras, and horned nerites. I am very proud of this tank today and though I’m currently dealing with some illness and lots of algae, it is eons better than my beginnings.

Some other stuff happened with my tanks within there but all that feels too recent to really talk about. Currently I have six bettas and 8 tanks overall. I continue to learn constantly, especially about plants, filtration, and fish illness. My fish opinions have changed SO MUCH since I was a wee baby betta blog back in 2014 it’s ridiculous... and I thought I knew shit back then and would attempt to give advice like a dumbass. 

Important fish thing to remember: you are ALWAYS LEARNING ALWAYS. There is always something you don’t know or haven’t encountered. Most of the advice you’ve heard/give others will turn out to be bogus. RESEARCH ALWAYS.

 And it’s also ok if your tanks are hideous because pretty tanks can be very very expensive and I feel you, I was cheap as fuck for a long time. Your fish doesn’t care that you have rainbow puke gravel and ugly tattered plants. Your fish just want food and clean water and not much else. 

Take risks, do your research, and branch out. Keep what you love, not what other people love. My favorite tank by far is my snail tank full of pest snails lol My favorite fish is my ugly, plain looking female who hides 99% of the time. I have been keeping fish for over four years and have made MANY mistakes and had a lot of ugly tanks and setbacks and times I almost quit. 

I have spilled a lot of water on stuff I shouldn’t have spilled water on. I have ended up with lots of sand in my bed and on my floor. I have gone through more towels than you can believe and blown a lot A LOT of money on nice pieces of wood and weird sponges and rocks. I can no longer sleep without the sound of a whole bunch of air pumps and filters. I wouldn’t trade any of it, even though I started off a bit rocky and almost quit after losing Wyn and would have way more surfaces and more money if I didn’t have fish. I can’t even imagine it though. My fish got me through a bunch of rough patches in college and tank maintenance has both caused me a lot of stress and eased my anxiety at the same time. 

Whew this is long please do not read this whole thing lawd

Why Exercise is Absolutely ESSENTIAL for Your Wellness Routine

I’ve never been someone who particularly enjoys exercising in and of itself. Sure, I’ve found activities that I’ve enjoyed that just so happen to also provide exercise (I’ve always loved dancing, for instance), but I’m definitely not some sort of fitness guru by any means! My journey with fitness has been a struggle, particularly in the last year or so. I’ve struggled to stay consistent with anything I was doing, which resulted in not getting desirable results. This has caused me a lot of frustration. Through the frustration, however, I’ve learned a lot about myself and my own fitness needs, strengths, and areas to improve on. In my own experiences, I’ve learned just how important exercise is for wellbeing. I’m about to share with you the lessons I’ve learned along my journey in the hopes that you’ll be able to apply them to your own life. But before I do, I think it’s important to lay down the ground rules for how to be successful within your fitness journey. These are are things I’ve found helpful!

How to succeed at your exercise routine

1. Be consistent

Girl, consistency is KEY. It’s also the absolute hardest part of any exercise routine, especially when you’re just starting out. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve fallen out of my routine because I wasn’t consistent. There will always be something else that needs to be done. You will always be able to find an excuse for not exercising if you look hard enough for one. If you want to be successful in your fitness goals, the only way you will get there is by having the willpower to be consistent. Make a schedule for yourself and stick to it. If you get up early, make exercise part of your morning routine on a regular basis. Note that working out for 20 minutes every day is better than working out for two hours straight once every two weeks. Be persistent and consistent!

2. Find a method you actually enjoy

Here’s the thing about exercise. If you’re trying to force yourself to do something that you absolutely despise on a regular basis, it’s never going to work because you won’t be consistent with it. No matter how much you argue that you’ll just suck it up and do it, girl, you won’t. Okay, now that you’ve admitted that to yourself, let’s make some actual progress! You’ll be much more likely to stick to something if you at least somewhat enjoy it, so explore different forms of exercising. Do you enjoy dancing? Try hitting up a dance class or attending a Zumba class at your local gym. Or if you’d rather work out at home, there are TONS of videos on YouTube featuring different fitness classes! I know this, because I totally use them (home girl is not getting on that treadmill everyday, lol). Once you find a method of exercise that you enjoy, have fun with it! It’s a way to explore your own interests while still getting the exercise your body needs.

3. Know your strengths and your limits

When exercising, of course you want to challenge yourself. In fact, you won’t get nearly as much benefit out of it if you don’t push yourself to work hard during workouts. That being said, it’s extremely important to know your limits and not push yourself over those limits. Doing so can cause serious injuries, and will also just make you less likely to want to workout again the next day if you found it too hard. Start off slow and gradually work towards increasing the intensity of your workouts as you become more comfortable. 

Why exercise is important and beneficial to you

1. your physical health depends on it

I know, I know. This one seems obvious. You hear it all the time. But you know what? It’s incredibly important, so why not include the obvious? Did you know that a major cause of most chronic diseases is physical inactivity? That’s incredibly scary when you think about how common this is in today’s society! The rates of illnesses such as obesity and heart disease are on the rise, and it seems that lack of exercise is at least partly to blame. Girl, I feel you. I hate running on the treadmill and doing planks as much as the next person. However, it opened my eyes this year when I gained more weight than I would have liked to due to stress, medications, and lack of exercise. Since starting to exercise (on a semi-regular basis, it’s still a work in progress lol), I’ve been feeling less lethargic and sluggish. I’ve also slimmed down a bit (though I still have a ways to go before I’m back where I want to be). These are signs to me that my physical health is improving. And let me tell you, friend, it’s totally worth it when you don’t constantly feel like you’re going to fall asleep standing up!

2. your mental health will improve

Every single time I’ve gone to the doctor about my anxiety, one of the first things they ask is “are you exercising enough?” And yes, there is a reason for this. It has been proven numerous times that exercising regularly can improve mental health, decreasing both anxiety and depression. Without getting too far into the science side of things, basically exercise causes your brain to release a neurotransmitter (your brain’s communication signals) called serotonin (basically a happy drug created by your brain). This is the same neurotransmitter that is affected by prescription drugs. People with anxiety or depression don’t have enough serotonin being released from their brains, which affects their mood significantly. With this information in mind, you can see how exercise can be hugely beneficial to improving mental health!

3. exercise burns off excess energy

Do you find that you have trouble sleeping at night? Can’t seem to turn your brain off? If this sounds like you, you’re definitely not alone (I’m right there with ya)! Sometimes at the end of the day, we’re left with this excess energy that we just can’t seem to get rid of. It can be extremely overwhelming to deal with too, especially if, like I said, it’s causing you to have trouble sleeping. One thing that I’ve found since exercising more regularly is that I’m having an easier time falling asleep and then staying asleep. As a result, I’ve had more energy throughout the day, and as the cycle goes I feel more motivated to exercise again the next day when I have energy to do so.

4. you’ll feel more confident

We all know about society’s completely outrageous expectations about how our bodies should look and what’s classified as attractive. We all, in our minds, also know that that’s complete bullshit, because everyone is beautiful in their own unique ways! However, that doesn’t always stop us from feeling self-conscious about the way we look. Since gaining some weight over the past year, I’ve been extremely self-conscious about the way I look. When I would try to eat healthy and start an exercise routine and would fail, I’d feel even worse about myself. This stopped me from even trying for a while, but that didn’t do me any good. Since exercising at my own pace but regularly, I’ve had loved ones tell me that each week I’m looking healthier. I’m slowly starting to be able to wear some of my old clothes again. I also have been feeling more productive in my own fitness journey. All of these things have contributed to a greater self-confidence that I feel within myself! It’s amazing what a bit of exercise each day can accomplish!

So there you have it! That pretty much sums up the past couple of months of my fitness journey! What tips and tricks do you have for staying fit and healthy with exercise?
