#that’s one of my fav shows for nostalgic and other reasons

[grievedifferent]

im enjoying still being stuck in degrassi like i have the last sixth plus months, as you all know, so when i make my degrassi multimuse just know for sixth months ive been waiting to pull the trigger — also i have barely scrolled the dash since yesterday but idk what happened or what’s going on, i only know and am referring to my own personal experiences here idk what’s going on otherwise

[strwberri-milk]

hello!!! I’ve been loving your work for a liiiitle while now. I’m hoping you can do all the LADS guys of if mc/you being of latin descent (Mexican/ Honduran, Salvadoran, etc) who loves going to gathering with friends and families (like barbecues, quinceñeras, those type) and how they would react to being in such a place, meeting your large family, and reacting to you dancing/ trying to get them to dance with you (cumbia is my fav at any party lol) would). Would love to see what you come up with, much looove 🩷🩷🩷

Xavier seems uncomfortable at first with the amount of people but it's just because he's trying to figure out how everyone knows each other and how he can fit into conversations. He doesn't want to impose himself on anybody despite how welcoming they all seem.

You wouldn't have to work hard to get him onto the dance floor but he isn't exactly the most rhythmic so he's going to try his best but that doesn't exactly look amazing but everyone can appreciate that he's very clearly trying very hard.

He'll get used to it over time but he does get fatigued very easily from the amount of social interaction big family events of yours take. You just have to cuddle him up and give him a second to breathe when the two of you get home. He likes seeing everyone though and how happy you are around them so he'll never say no if you invite him to an outing.

Zayne is very good at small talk and keeping people chatting so being in a crowd like this isn't too awful, even if he's exhausted from going to work then straight to a party. He doesn't mind keeping you company and he's already met your parents. Getting along with the rest of your family doesn't seem like it'd be too difficult a task for him.

He doesn't show his fatigue until he gets home. He didn't grow up with a large family so it'll take him a while to get used to being around so many people who seem invested in him as a person, in addition to his work as a doctor. Any advice he gives as a doctor is one that he strongly urges people to double check because there are certainly some people who are hoping to ask him to look at this or that. He does give his honest opinions and if there's anything he can see himself working with he'll try to schedule them in, telling you it's no problem and he doesn't mind helping the people you love.

He can't make it to every event but the events he misses he insists you go buy something to gift your family as an apology. He would hate for any of them to think that he's missing the event on purpose and will offer his apologies in person the next time he sees them all.

Rafayel fits right in. I've mentioned before that I think he grew up in a communal parenting/child rearing environment so being surrounded by tons of family is perfectly normal for him. He's going to go into this event with a more positive outlook than normal because he wants to get along with your family.

You were a little worried that he'd come off as rude or uptight because of how he tends to be at his own shows if he doesn't want to be there but thankfully he treats them as though he's known them for a while. You can tell his social battery is draining though but he has fun getting to know people and playing with the younger members of your family.

He definitely was exhausted when he got home but he also looked a little nostalgic. There's something in the look in his eyes that makes you a little sad. He'll appear at other events in the future but he doesn't always stay the entire time just depending on his schedule. If he misses it for whatever reason he'll tell you to apologise on his behalf and usually tries to at least pick you up so he can make an appearance and say hello.

A/N: A short drabble John Price x F!Reader because of reasons. I tag my current fav people in the CoD fandom @yeyinde and @taurus-ted because I love your writings and you inspire me, guys.

Warnings: Fluff, Drama, Mention of death, Romance, Melancholy, Friends to lovers, Explicit language (a bit).

My native language is not English so I apologize if you find some mistakes, I’m still improving.

You knew John Price for ages.

He's been a great friend of your older brother and he often visited your family when you all were younger. He's like family to you, another brother who cares if you're okay and if he has to kick some boyfriend's ass.

And you never stopped to love John Price, even when your brother died under the bullets to save him.

His guilt, though, was too much to handle and, with time, he slowly stepped outside your life.

It's two years now you haven't seen him, not a call, not even a text but he knows you're still the bartender of his favorite pub.

You're busy cleaning the counter when the door opens.

“Sorry, we're close!” You raise your voice before turning around to see who's there.

Your eyes open wide, and your lungs hold your breath. “John…” You whisper.

“Hello, Bunny.” He greets, taking off his hat and making a shy smile.

Bunny.

For seven years you haven’t heard that nickname, since your brother died. And now your eyes can't hold nostalgic tears and happiness to see him again.

You don't hesitate in the hug you give to him, and he returns with the same warmth. You still wear the same perfume he remembered.

“Ah shit.” You say, wiping your tears away. “You look great. Come, have a seat.”

You run around the counter, pouring his favorite scotch into two glasses while he approaches slowly, putting his hat on the wooden surface, and sitting on a stool.

You raise your glass making a toast. “To the friends reunited.”

He clinks his glass against yours before taking a sip.

You stare at each other in silence for long moments, enduring the memories that fill your minds.

A smirk appears over your face, then. “You got some grey hair.”

“And you're a vision, as always.” He says lowering his glance at his glass.

The confidence with which he says it makes you shiver but you deliberately ignore it since you think it's inappropriate.

You clear your throat. “Well, how are things?”

He takes another sip. “Things are going well…” He nods, cleaning his mustache with the knuckle of the index. “I'm currently on my break so, I thought I’d come to visit you.”

“I'm glad…” You make a polite smile but you can't even look at him and he knows why.

How could he blame you?

“I'm sorry if I didn't show up in the last two years.”

You wet your lips, finishing your scotch in one sip and moving to wash the glass.

He gets brave finishing his drink. “I missed you.”

“Oh yeah?” You ask a bit upset.

He gets up, walking slowly around the counter to reach you. “Yeah.” He says with a low voice and put his empty glass in the sink right in front of you. His eyes don't leave you even for a moment, you can feel his closeness and his silently begging for your attention.

He shuts off the water, touching gently your face to invite you to look up at him. There’s no need to talk since you both already know where this is going. He bends over, and without any rush your lips join in a sweet kiss. Of course he tastes of cigar and scotch, you expect nothing less from him.

You can't help but surrender.

His hand slips on your back to gently push you against him as your hands wrap his nape, increasing the intensity of the making out.

When you break the kiss to catch some air, his eyes are worshiping you.

“How long have you wanted to do this?” You say in a whisper.

“Longer than I want to admit.”

What’s your favorite thing about your favorite Thomas Sanders character(s)?

Hey, Anon :D

Well, let's see...

Remus/Remus: I love how unsettling he is and how he's not afraid to be himself and do fuck-all. I relate a lot to being a weird, creepy sibling people are hesitant to be around, so Remus is a big comfort character. Also, I love how he's also Creativity and has lots of his own ideas, no matter how dark they may be. And his humour sends me every time (lmao). And of course, the weird facts he knows is very relatable. And the fact he just wants to be listened to and acknowledged. And all the unhinged chaos from him. And the drama and him just being a freakin' goober.

Logan/Logan: Him being a giant nerd and one of the more-mature Sides in the group is a bit relatable. I love seeing him being enthusiastic about Crofter's and making puns and when he gets to indulge in things he really likes. Him being very intelligent but also struggling with emotions and such. How bad he just wants to be taken seriously and listened and such. How he keeps getting pushed around and ignored, and when as soon as he lashes out because he's hurting, the Others blame him for it. I love how he apologizes for lashing out, though it's always his right to. I relate a lot to how he represses the "icky emotions" or refrains himself because he thinks he can't be emotional if he's to be taken seriously.

Roman/Roman: how passionate he is about things he loves, like acting and Disney and his creative merits. How he keeps getting used and manipulated and he's just so confused because he needs clear structure as the Ego, but everything is just jumbled and he's not sure what's right to do anymore. All of the angst with this poor guy is just relatable. How happy he gets when Logan asked him for his creative help!! That was a vulnerable and wholesome moment. How creative he gets and how he shows he knows his fellow Sides and friends through his gifts (him getting Janus socks for warmth and writing an entire story/fanfic/play about Sherlock for Logan). He's just so thoughtful and caring. He shows he loves them through playful teasing and jokes and banter!! And he's growing and learning and apologizing when he screws up. Like, him and Virgil getting closer and becoming besties. How insecure he is because he's terrified of failure and being imperfect and especially of rejection.

Virgil/Virgil: he's been a fav of mine since middle school, which was around the time the series was first starting and soon we met him as Anxiety (way back in 2016). I've related to him especially as someone who was a bit emo and also struggles A Lot with anxiety and an anxiety disorder(s). His fashion sense with his purple jacket/hoodie is my fav thing, btw. He was a big part of my comfort growing up. Kind of a nostalgic comfort. I love how he has spiders all over his room because I relate to loving spiders and not being scared of them. I love his sarcasm and humour and his counterpoints. I love his debate episode with Logan. This snarky spiderling was a big reason why I'm still alive, believe or not, and so he's an important character to me. Just a big Fav to me.

Janus/Janus: This sarcastic, villain-aesthetic serpent is important to me because of the fact that he's both Deceit AND Self-Perseveration. It's so damn relatable because I was the kid who knew how to lie so well that my lies were almost always regarded as truth. I had to lie and hide things to survive because I grew up as a queer Christian kid in a scary and unsupportive place. If I slipped up the slightest, there was absolute horror to pay. Also, the queer-coded villain aesthetic is one of my fav things. This man doesn't need to be that melodramatic but he is because that's what he likes to do. He's a petty lil drama king, and I love that about him. Also his [implied?] angst of having this fear of vulnerability and getting hurt again is... it's very important to me.

Patton/Patton: I relate to him the least, but oh boy do I have things to SAY. Him a total dad and making so much puns is funny to me. It's very relatable to be the kind of person so take care [or try to] of everyone else but forget about myself. Him loving cats but being allergic is comical, lmao. Him trying to repress and hide his "icky emotions" and just showing the happy positive ones is something that's a bit too relatable. As someone who's struggled with smiling depression, it can get to the point where people don't believe you when you finally show a hint of not being okay. And so you just go back to faking it, and then get ignored again whilst taking care of everyone else. But yeah, he's a pretty good character and almost reminds me of some family of mine.

c!Thomas/c!Thomas: one thing I will never get over about this character is the fact that he's a struggling artist and creator that is going through A Lot and still healing and discovering things about himself. That's some of the most relatable shit. He's so human and shows the healing process as a bumpy road which is TRUE to reality and I love it. His Sides and him are learning together, and that's just beautiful. Maybe not my most fav, but still pretty high up there on the Brainrot chart.

As you can see, I have things to say about ALL of them. All of the main seven, anyway. I'm sure I'll have lots to say once we meet and see Orange.

[sorry this was so long]

Class 1A Boys + music they listen to (PART 2)

There's always that ONE person who is like a parent when it comes to his whole class and music making sure it's "school appropriate" and that would be no other than the class rep, Iida.

Has a playlist for literally his life routine lol (study, relaxing, outings, running in the rain in his retro raincoat 😂,etc.). I feel like he would listen to like 90's music, classic rock (his fav artist is Foo Fighters for sure) he doesn't mind playing his stuff every now and then but he's busy most of the time preparing for class. nerd lol.

May sound shocking but he likes SOME rap but it's all old school rap/hip-hop like Biggie, Ice T, Usher, MC Hammer but he only listens to it outside of U.A though because he doesn't want "taint his image of class rep". He tried trying new school rap and..let's say he'll just stay where he is (he almost got hurt BUT that's for another story!)

The only classmate that is so chill with almost every genre of music is Sero. Even songs in different languages and more exotic genres like nudisco, jazzfunk, and french house (which are his favorites, cause it's a rarity he cherishes). He would play japanese funk while he drives down the road JUST for the ✨aesthetic✨ (future au idea). Dua Lipa, Kali Uchis, Doja Cat, Rosalia, JIAFEI just any other artist that sings in another language other than english he'll know. And he sings it so well but has no idea what a lick of it means well except for japanese.

Is not scared of talking about it to any of his classmates and actually persuading them to give it a try or if he plays it on his bluetooth speaker before class starts and then one of his classmates asks him the next day for ex: Tokoyami asks him "Hey Sero, what was that techo like song were you playing yesterday, for some reason it's in my head." and then the tape boi will go through his recently played songs from yesterday (he's a yt music kinda guy tbh). Then basically almost everybody is interested in what he has in store next

In other words he's the one who always brings his speaker to class but is respectful and plays it before class even starts, he's an early bird.

Denki, is the twin of Sero cool with any kind of music but leans more into the weebcore/rap category. He most likely will play weeb music in his dorm room, the usual anime openings and ending theme songs with a dorky smile on his face humming along while reading manga.

Is the aux cord GOD, will never disappoint the Bakusquad with any music he plays in the car he'll play some Marshmello and everyone would get littt🔥🔥🔥 or some nostalgic jpop to sing awfully off tune to to piss off Bakugo ofc.

Fun Fact: The whole Bakusquad got kicked out of his car at least five times singing terribly lmaooooo

(!!I'M WRITING THIS HEADCANON BEFORE THE TRAITOR ERA HE HAD!!)⬇️

💅Voguing king✨ that's the title Yuga Aoyama gives himself when his headphones are filled with the sounds of VOGUE EDITS IM SORRY HE SERVES CUNT ISTG GO LOOK AT HIS HERO COSTUME UGHHHH 😫 he even putson fashion shows with the Class A Girls 🥺🥺 *imagines him voguing to this 1 hour playlist of just phonk/runway music cause I can*

He is also very bold at expressing his love for future funk obsession, his peers don't mind it at all..well, ONE person *cough cough bakugo*. ⬇️

Totally applies his makeup (generally eyeliner cause he has the ✨prettiest✨ eyes, fight me 🤪)to either one of those two categories imo (he gives me when i suddenly want to try runway eyeliner makeup😭 -cries in non fem queen-)

BEST FOR LAST MOTHAFUCKIN' BAKUGO AND KIRISHIMA aka BakuKiri or KiriBaku (shoutout to the shippers for that pair✌️) 💥🤟

Heavy Metal/Death Metal for Bakugo

NEFFEX, Rock and workout tunes for Kirishima

Five Finger Death Punchis literally Boom Boom Boi's fav and Kiri is in the car just vibing and just not minding it at all knowing it's his way of relieving stress from work plus it's manly sounding anyway to him as well so whatever makes him happy ❤️

Psst..come here..*whispers in your ear* Bakugo gets with Tokoyami for secret thrashing sessions sometimes 🤫

YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT THEY DON'T! THE DARK OVERLORD AND THE ANGRY POMERANIAN THRASHING TOGETHER LMAOO AND THEN KIRI JOINS IN LATER AND THEN THE WHOLE BAKUSQUAD LMAOAOAO

Now Kiri goes to the gym pumping iron to some Neffex is a must for him that's his whole workout niche but anywhere his workout playlist goes who knows?

Has a whole thrash playlist as well go figs

Disco on the treadmill? yes please

Dubstep while throwing around that heavy ass rope? yessir yessir

At the end of the day he's chillin' to some chillstep while laying on his bed after a shower, resting to recharge for the next day

MIneta...yeahhhh dont give him the aux cord..just don't trust him

Imma just say one word that he would blare on someone speaker

Cupcakke

That is all..so hide yo aux cords or don't bring it at all and just stick to the radio

Do you think Levihan as a ship is dead now because of the new relationship chart? They did so much for each other that saying that they only just appreciate/respect one another seems like it ignores the show, even if you don't take their actions to be romantic

Hey!

I think you anon may be trying to read too much where there is no need to. That was only a simple diagram resuming in one or two sentences things that were actually canon and more than obvious atp?! Imo, it's actually funny and kind of a nostalgic throw back to the first snk diagram! Iirc, that one said that Levi and Hanji thought about each other as "there is something wrong with them!" Very shippy lmao

But now excuse me, if I may add something...

If I'm reading the reason behind this ask correctly, I think it's just a matter of individual perspective.

Just like you have your own reasons to love levihan and any other ships from other media, other people have their own. Things for them may change, but you don't have to take it personally - it's one's voice, and not YOUR voice, and much less a universally shared opinion.

So imo, if you truly love (or hate) something, I don't think it's necessary to stand by an idea that you dislike/don't agree just because someone else shared their own thoughts on the matter.

They are they. You are you!

So if I may give a unprompted advice, don't let other ppl's individual ship experience dictates what you like. I do not speak for an entire ship community, and I honestly don't think anyone does. So even if it's just nice to see some validation of your feelings shared with other ppl you follow, you don't have too take mine/other opinions as something EVERYONE else will think. I even ship ZekeHan lmao.

Levihan to me is much, much more than literally two phrases written in a piece of media. I've been following their story for 10 years. I don't care - and won't take a little diagram describing the relationships between the characters saying they have mutual respect as something that "kills" my ship. They are not only my fav and second longest ship ever, but my OTP!

But, again, that is me.

Would you stop shipping levihan just cause I said I've stopped? I don't believe you would. And I'm definitely sure thousands of levihans won't.

[lenorahills]

what is ur fav season for mileven? and what do u think objectively is their best season?

Hmmm good question Anon, lol. 

Personally, I really like season three for some reason??? Might not be my ‘favourite’ overall but there’s something lighthearted and nostalgic about them. Totally reminds me of reading tweenage magazines and having a crush, or something lol. Like, season three Mileven is just so fun! They’re clingy and naïve about the real love they have towards each other. Both Mike and El are probably their funniest too. 

Objectively? Season one (and four). Three is probably the weakest in terms of actual character development. Season one establishes their bond and concludes an individual arc. But, obviously if you’re reading this you’ve seen the whole show, so I’d say season four comes closest as it really touches upon everything season one established but in a more maturely developed way. Both are good! 

Looking forward to season five and how their arcs conclude. Thanks for the question :) 

[autisticempathydaemon]

hey hey! idk if this is where I submit for the match up! but I would love to see who you think I'd fit in with! I'm a creative soul who tends to try to develop deep friendships with people above everything. I have a bit of a savior complex as well lol I work hard and play harder, trying to find new adventures to go on with those i care about. I tend to support others before supporting myself, and while im happy to let others open up to me its hard for me to open up in return. the best way i can feel close to someone is deep conversations and being creative with them!

My current fav song has been Maybe IDK by John Bellion, specifically the lyric "i guess if i knew tomorrow i guess i wouldnt need faith"  just the idea of living today to the best you can just because you don't know what will happen tomorrow. the worries of the future should keep you down today

My current fav Redacted audio has to be the Helping your Werewolf bf shift again. Specifically the acting is just so good to me. Erik did an amazing job of portraying Milo's anguish and pain at not being able to shift. Plus the relieved sobs at the end is so satisfying and emotional. 

The one boy i cant get the hype around is Ivan. like sure the yandere thing is somewhat attractive to some, but i just don't like the idea of an actual psychopath being obsessed with me.

my favorite movie is definitely the Secret Life of Walter Mitty by Ben Stiller. its less of a quotable movie and more of i remember every scene very distinctly. its a movie that envelops my own escapism. its beautifully shot, wonderfully acted, and a wholesome story on a rainy day.

my platonic redacted crush has to be Damien. he seems like a blast to interact with and tease. he's a hard worker and is tied close to his goals which i can admire. i would love to body double with him if i had some tasks to get done

space is also 100% my ramble subject when im sleepy, that and greek mythology

My guilty pleasure media is currently the animated shows Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Lego Monkie Kid. despite being kids shows, both of these are beautifully animated and shockingly well written!

I hope that gives you an idea of me! I look forward to who you think i match with!

Hmm, lots of good tidbits of information to consider. You strike me as really thoughtful, really caring, and I think Lasko could really benefit from a partner like that.

A savior complex, from what I understand, is just wanting to help people and make their lives better, and Lasko’s a guidance counselor, so y’all would have that in common. What’s good about pairing two people like that is y’all could keep each other in line, so to speak. Something that’s important when you’re always looking out for other people is to make sure someone is always looking out for you and vice versa. You and Lasko together would always make sure you’re taking care of others, each other, and yourselves.

Another reason I like the two of you together is that you like being creative with one another as a bonding activity. You know what’s the ultimate way to be creative together? Tabletop role playing games! If you don’t already play, Lasko would be so excited to help you with a character sheet, to help you craft a backstory, paint some mini figurines, go out and buy the perfect game dice and notebooks- the greatest combination of nerdy and cute in a couple.

Song:

There now, steady love, so few come and don't go/ Will you won't you, be the one I always know?/ When I'm losing my control, the city spins around/ You're the only one who knows, you slow it down

One, the whole vibe of “you slow me down, I’ll look after you, we’re here for each other” vibes are exactly what I’m picturing for y’all. Also, Lasko and I are around the same age, and I heard this song a lot growing up. I have some weird, like, emotional resonance with it from childhood, and I think Lasko does too. Like, it makes him nostalgic and longing; maybe he always wanted someone to look after and to look after him, and now he’s finally found that in you.

Runner-Ups:

A very reasonable runner-up for you would be Camelopardalis because he would do a great job making sure you balance work and your personal life and that you don’t put others before yourself too much. A more fun runner-up would be Guy because I love sticking that beautiful Creative Writing major with other beautiful, creative people!

note: thank you for waiting, dear, and I hope you like your match-up! 💕

Read this post and send me an ask if you’d like a match-up of your own! 💌

[le-velo-pour-dru]

HIIIIIII DRU HERE ARE MY FAV TAI… SONGS… they only released 3 albums but each of them have a really distinct sound and i love all 3 but my fav is probablyyyyy santi overall. anyways!!

my favs from almost here are black mamba, classifieds, and checkmarks. also the music video for classifieds is super cute :)

my favs from santi are LAX to O’Hare, we’ve got a big mess on our hands (which was the first TAI… song i heard cause i saw the music video on youtube randomly and was totally transfixed), seed, and you might have noticed

my favs from fast times at barrington high are about a girl, coppertone, after the last midtown show, and one more weekend :)

OH! and right before they broke up they put out an EP called lost in pacific time. i almost forgot about the whole EP lol but the song im yours tonight is one of my favorites of all their songs :)

ANYWAYS!!! i really love TAI… i hope you like these songs too!!! 💝☀️💖⭐️💛💝🌟☀️💖💛⭐️💝

BLACK MAMBA'S SO FUN OMG I LOVED IT!!!!!! :DD I'm not as into Classifieds but it definitely has charm to it that I appreciate hehe ^^ 💖 Checkmarks was really cool and the video for it was a lot of fun!!!!!! :DD ❤️ Out of the three, Black Mamba was definitely my favorite ^^ 💖

I've already heard LAX to O'Hare, but I figured I'd listen to it again cause I don't remember what it sounds like, but I remember liking it 😊❤️ Oh my gosh I actually love that song way more than I remembered!!!!!!! :D The vibes??????? ✨️Impeccable.✨️ I honestly want to learn the words cause it sounds fun to sing 🤭❤️ I'm not really sure how I feel about We've Got A Big Mess On Our Hands... It's cool, but I think I need to listen to it a few more times to appreciate it. I LOVED the video for it, it's so so cool :D ❤️ (Also that's the first time I've heard him talk, and his voice is????? so cute??????? 🫢🩷 Omg-) Seed is a lot of fun!!!!!! I'm definitely a fan :D ❤️ YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED IS SO COOL AAAAAAAA I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! ^^ 🫶 My favorites out of those were LAX to O'Hare and maybe You Might Have Noticed :D

I've already heard About A Girl, I love it and its video, so I'm very excited to listen to it again!!! :D 🩷 IT'S SO FUN AAAAAAAAA I LOVE YOU ABOUT A GIRL BY TAI!!!!!!!!! 🤩🫶 SUCH A FUN SONG 😊💖 Coppertone is such a cute and fun song, I like it!! :D 🩷 After The Last Midtown Show is also really cute and very nostalgic-sounding for some reason, I actually really like it ^^ 🩷 Woah One More Weekend is a really cool and fun song! :) I really like it!! :D ❤️ My favorite was About A Girl, but to be honest, I loved every single one of those songs 😊❤️

The vibes of I'm Yours Tonight makes me so so happy hehe ^^✨️🩷

Honestly, this band sits in a weird place where some of their songs aren't the kind of thing that appeals to me, while others are ones I really enjoy!! I'm definitely gonna keep listening to them though ^^ 💖 Fast Times at Barrington High had the most songs I consistently enjoyed, but while I wasn't sure how to feel about one of the songs from Santi, it had some of their coolest songs, so I'm not really sure yet which one I like best :P Anyway thank you so so much for these recommendations!!!!! I had a lot of fun listening to them ^^ 💖

[Magi rewatch] Episode 7: His Name Is Sinbad [Part 1]

Oh, yeah, it was definitely the right call. I already feel less exhausted having to watch this. Should've done this from the beginning, but, well, a Pole is smart after a mistake, not before it.

Me for, like, half of this goddamn year. Hot as balls. For how long, actually? October or November. Jesus. I think October, cuz November/December I was on-and-off sick. What a fucking time to be alive.

The characters tend to look kinda eh at times, but man, are the backgrounds cool.

A bunch of characters nobody cares about, but in the manga they thought they'd be able to get people to join them in Balbadd, but here they're just. Going there, I guess.

He does look good.

Also SQUIRREL. And a BIRD

She looks good in here.

"You don't have to thank either of us! Alibaba did it, because he's a kind person!" Like, you're completely right, but also gets me how much Aladdin trusts and believes in Alibaba. And, the thing is, he isn't wrong to do so - Magi can kind of read people's Rukh, so Aladdin gets the kind of person Alibaba is on instinct. Still, F.

Also, gfdi, why does it all look so pretty. The colors get me, too.

What a character introduction. What a legend.

It kind of reminds me. You guys know, Magi is like one of the series that's the dearest to my heart. One of the few. Which is why I get so critical of it. And it's hilarious when I think about the fact, that this AMV is the reason I watched it in the first place. I'm not kidding.

"Why are you freaking out? :("

Also, gdi. Magi rewired sth in my brain, and whenever I hear Daisuke Ono I immediately think about Sinbad, it'll never stop. Did you know Jing Yuan from Honkai: Star Rail has Daisuke Ono as VA? And Wriothesley from Genshin Impact. I'm still processing that, lol. Other one I'll always recognize bc of Magi is Kaji Yuki (Alibaba). Funnily enough, he voices one of my fav Pokemon character - Clemont. Imagine my surprise. Man, maybe I do have a type.

I love low quality Magi.

He looks normal in the anime. Kinda nostalgic, good. Also, the wording seems to be a bit different, but mostly the sentiment remains.

Agh, look how excited he is to meet another adventurer! You get it, mister, you get it!

What if Aladdin became Sinbad's Magi, hmm.

There's some yt channel that posts Kimetsu no Yaiba videos, what ifs, and then offers like three scenarios. Lastly it was what if Muzan was a Demon Slayer. Can't help but think abt it whenever I consider some what if.

She smelled Hakuryuu's cooking.

It really looks nice. From afar.

Huh, in the anime they don't mention how various races mingle here.

Paper money. Something that Sinbad notices. Good characterization moment + good hint at what the porblem might be. Neat.

Reminded me abt one of the fics that I'm writing. These goddamn towers. Two fics, actually. Though one of them is just recalling the events from the other.

Anyway, back to the ep, I do think it's cool. Lots of show don't tell.

Yeah. In the previous arc we've heard that Balbadd wasn't doing well, and now we get to see it.

Down with the monarchy.

This entire scene is still hilarious.

"We're going to have to help him out, Masrur." "Damn."

I love Ja'far. What a pro.

Since I had to delete it from the chapter post bc of the photo limit. Here. Morgiana & Masrur noticing each other.

The Sinbad experience.

Pffff

The sound he makes, lmao. "Ahhhhh". He's so not getting paid enough to deal with this bs.

Also, sad: we don't have Masrur helping him :/ That was such a nice moment : (

White eyes. You killed him, Sinbad. You killed your future husband.

"You're Sinbad, the King of Sindria!"

My thoughts on the new upcoming movie "Migration"

It feels wrong to get so hyped up over a movie before it comes out, but I'm literally obsessed with to find more info on this new movie "Migration" from Illumination. After they made that new Super Mario movie and did well, but Disney failed with StrangeWorld and the live action Little Mermaid, I'm glad smaller companies like Illumination and DreamWorks are becoming more popular. According to my bestie, who's a huge Illumination fan, Illumination made more than Disney! Honestly, I'm glad! The smaller companies need a chance to shine now, and Disney is overrated. Yet, I'm afraid to get too hyped over a movie I haven't seen yet because I was excited to see Wolfwalkers, until I watched it and got offended. Same with Zootopia when it came out, hated that too. I really hope Migration turns out to be everything I want it to be!

The main reason why I think Migration looks so amazing, I see ducks and that's a huge plus for me, since ducks are my favorite bird. Also, the setting makes me feel nostalgic in a way. It looks like Duck Duck Goose, a little bit, but it looks like it takes place in the U.S and I grew up in the north eastern part of the U.S. Duck Duck Goose had a different setting, but still looked incredibly beautiful. I'm honestly a huge fan of Duck Duck Goose and I'm glad to see a movie with similar designs and that focuses on the animals, barely showing humans. However, I'm glad that it doesn't feel like a rip off of Duck Duck Goose, because it has a completely different story. Migration is apparently about a family of ducks trying to migrate somewhere warm while avoiding predators, while Duck Duck Goose has a story about a carefree goose adopting two ducklings and learning to become more mature. I think I'm still going to have a special place in my heart for Duck Duck Goose, but Migration looks like it's right up my alley!

Trolls 3 also excites me as well, I'll talk more about that next time I make a post like this. I also keep my word when I say that Disney's overrated. For a while I was like "Oh I'm starting to like Disney" after seeing Encanto and Luca, but that didn't last very long because they went back to making pointless stuff. They're crapping one live action remake after another, of stuff that's not even old enough to be remade, but honestly Elemental and Wish don't look that good either. (Wish looks fine, but the animation is throwing me off). Elemental looks as bad as Strangeworld tbh. Us DreamWorks fans, tho... we're swimming in it! Chicken Run 2, Trolls 3, and Kung Fu Panda 4!? That's the best news ever, because those are my favorite DreamWorks movies (Chicken Run, Trolls, Croods 2 New Age, Kung Fu Panda, and Home are my favs)

Anyway, tell me what YOU think! Do you agree or disagree? I wanna hear others' ideas too.

[pearlaqua-eevee]

ok and the rest of ep 22 liveblog

Urahara always showing up like that. Shady neutral until the end I see

AAAA RUKIA FELT URYU THERE. FUCK. MY RAREPAIR FRIENDSHIP CRUMBSAAAAAAA

Renji too obviously lol

"You guys are pissed at Uryu Ishida too?" lmfao Bazz-B

"I can give you a hand to go a kill him!" honey thats their FRIEND lmao sit down

hi protective-over-Uryu Rukia and Renji yeesss

ok but I do like that everyone actually gets a reaction to Uryu's betrayal, kinda shuts up the "he wasnt significant" naysayers in the fandom--BITCH HES SIGNIFICANT TO HIS FRIENDS AND EXTENDED FAMILY

"What dont you like chickens" LMFAO Renji woke up ready to sass because between this and the fight against Mask....

"Good for you" RUKIA AND RENJI PLS NEVER CHANGE I LOVE YOU BOTH

AAAND ZOMBIE BAMBI. FML

YORUICHI IS BAAAAAACK

aaa they did such a good job with the nostalgic parallels on this, ugh it makes me wanna go watch SS arc again back when the stakes were technically way lower but just because the core cast was ignorant lol

lol the dual Ichigo Orihime head tilt was cute

loved that shot of Ichigo, Orihime and Chad lookin badass and ready. Protect them!!!

"whats with that brat" people dont like to be misgendered, is whats up (no seriously they couldnt fine a single extra alt line for the reason that Gigi got pissed? We had to keep the phobia in? ok -_- )

sorry but as a writer, Yumichika suddenly being this observant and picking up on what the audience already knows just on observation, without any indication of how or why he's make the leap from "theyre bombs" to "they make whatever they touch explode"....its such a ooc-for-ic-knowledge moment to be able to have these two have a prayer of fighting back. So while the rest of the fandom is made about like 1 frame or not getting Bambi with her top unzipped, I'll be over here rolling my eyes at how this wasnt changed

I know people are probably mad about the pervert line too but because they actually did edit that line, it becomes directly about what Gigi said about being "excited" and yeah thats sick and twisted, hi, psychopath serial killer energy

"Um I wasnt asking why youre shining" LMFAO ROAST HIM GIGI

the fact that I know the fandoms been saying that scene was "hot"....and it actually is so much worse in the anime because of the voice acting....theres a reason that dialogue reads R rated, its meant to, and its meant to disgust you and theres a reason I stay away from like 95% of the fandom thats all im gonna fucking say on that

"you think im ordinary when you just said I was outstanding?" "dont take it personally, compared to me everyone is ordinary"

not me thinking about how Uryu might outwit the use of those reishi locking things

yeaaah like I know Gigi's powers are fucked up but really imagine fighting these people and realizing that not only can one of them create zombies they can control, but theyve done it to people you know and recognize. Again, no wonder the Quincy are viewed as abominations?!

Arrancars!?

DID THEY JUST USE THE WORD FUGLY OMFG!?

"I came to see that four-eyed Quincy to make him pay for what he did to me" what, so he can absolutely destroy you again? (lol sorry, I LOVE Cirucci, shes one of my fav Arrancar but GIRL. He's gotten stronger since then, I don't think you wanna actually go for him again. Love the shoutout to that tho!?)

characters being able to be revived like this really takes tension out tho lol

so like....we're all in agreement that Mayuri is a "just like what you're fighting" type character, right? Like I get loving him for being twisted and honestly open and obvious about it (unlike other villain characters and in particular some of the Quincy)... like on the one hand as a PERSON, I'm like "love to hate this character, kinda badass in a sick way". but yeah like. He's just as bad as the Quincy and I think it puts a lot of his actions in this arc into perspective in a really interesting way

Gigi singsonging while healing Bambi is really disturbing and I love this character archetype a lot so its nice to see it done well. Shes MEANT to disturb you

FUCK. AND THERES TOSHIRO. I ALMOST FORGOT

HYYYPPPPPEEEE

:o Darryl and Scary for the ask game!

Heya Baba! Thank you for the ask, hmm going to go into the Scary part first since I have my playlist on-- ----- Scary- what’s your favorite song? Top 3 favs at the moment: Sherlock Holmes Theme (from The Great Ace Attorney) fav character in the game and the theme fits his vibe so well, he is so silly and interesting. This is fun to whistle along too Run by OneRepublic, I've liked the band for a pretty long time so gives me a nostalgic vibe. I think the music video is pretty amusing too!

Pity Party by Melanie Martinez, always daydream of character music videos when I listen to this...lately I think of Nicky and him telling his son "this was my fav arm, you don't see me crying about it" and my inner thought in return "but maybe you should let yourself cry about that? Its okay to cry." Catchy angst songs get me every time x'D Alright, onto the second question!

Darryl - do you have a good relationship with your dad? Yes and no. So I mentioned in some tags once that I see a lot of myself and my mom in Glenn and Nick (being friends more than parent and child). For my dad, well coincidently--I see a lot of him in Darryl. Ya know that 'lets talk about this later (usually never)' quote but also 'a dad that doesn't know much about his kids interest but is trying to understand anyway. He's always been supportive of my art since I was kid and a part of me still cherishes that. As long as we don't talk about the hard stuff, its fine, peaceful, so that's my reason for the Yes. He's also not well-informed on LGBTQ+ but again is learning and supportive. (CW for verbal abuse mention) Now for the no, if Daryl is the good parts of my dad...the bad parts-- I see those in Willy. My dad has always been nicer to his coworkers/friends than to the family he came home to everyday. He was also a salesman hmm...that charisma. And when I was younger I didn't mind that much. I noticed but the difference wasn't that harsh at first. He just smiled and laughed a lot more with one group versus the other, still lavished his kids with gifts as a form of affection, tried his best to make us laugh. But as my sister and I grew up, the difference in behavior was getting more obvious. His annoyance and anger were showing more often than not. He was never physically abusive but was verbally. There were other factors involved such as work issues, health issues, and his own issues with his parents. His parents/siblings basically treated him (the youngest) like an outcast so he wasn't allowed to be close to them emotionally and had to be pretty independent. Generational trauma...looking at dndads as a podcast I adore but also "wow, I'm in this picture and I don't like it" Flashback to him being a parent and husband and well...he blamed us for all the stress he was under--be that from work stuff or body pain (from major health issues which eventually lead to him having a leg prosthetic). Unlike Willy he'd feel guilty and genuinely apologize but the pattern would just repeat so stuff felt hollow after awhile. He's been getting care for his health and behavioral issues these days (and is retired). Has been making an effort to mend his rocky relationships with us but also isn't forcing the conversations. Still frustrating days sometimes. Has said things that no apology will ever be enough for but I appreciate that he's trying. I didn't mention my sister in detail here but truly she is the Lark to my Sparrow, intense hatred of father figures included. My sister's two years younger than me but we are often mistaken as twins as well haha. Doesn't help that we both have the same first letter in our names too. We were able to trick our classmates and teachers a few times which was funny. She lives in another state for college right now but we're still pretty close! Want to say that I am 100% okay with sharing this (and feel free to reblog if you want to). Nonetheless, hope it wasn't too much of a bummer to read! :]

One thing i will never understand in the ST fandom is those old fans that have nothing better to do than to hate on new Trek...

I get it, old Trek is nostalgic and cozy and for fucks sake my fav is still TOS for exactly the same reason STILL i will always get excited if some new Trek comes out. It might not be the best thing ever but it is still something new in the Trek univers. But some people out there just see new Trek and instantly snap to "BuT tHiS iSn'T TrEk".

They grew up with Trek but so did I. Heck when I was a baby my dad made it a habit to watch TNG (his fav) every night with me and even made an episode ranking based on which one i fell asleep to the fastest . He eventually brought me to fanclub meetings and I listened and made 'very insightful' commentary to their discussions. TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT was my childhood Just as TOS was theirs.

And yhea THIS might not be such a huge problem on Tumblr (form what i have seen over the years on and off lurking) however most of my fandom experiance for ST is not here on Tumblr it's with those very people who practically raised me and their weird little pockets they have carved out even before I was was born. And while my dad's fanclub is luckily not one of those, other branches are just a complete sass pool and it kinda breaks my heart everytime their discussions bleed over to us. It's just people pretending as if old Trek was perfect (which no and the constant 'it only gets good with season x' proofs that they are aware of that) and just not giving new Trek a chance.

And this is a long standing problem too. Back when ST09 came out I was super excited and couldn't wait to talk about it at a regional fan meetup my Dad took me to only to have older fans sneer at me (a fucking 13 yo) for anticipating it. Seriously grown ass adults just bitching about a teenager for looking forward to something ... It even got worse with DIS and PIC. Even tho I have to admit those discourses where good indicators for weeding out some bad apples, you know those you just have to ask yourself why they liked Trek in the first place.

SNW isn't officially out yet where i am at (we are just always behind pffff) but it's soon schedule to be available for (legally) streaming it. And more reliable than the deutsche Bahn ever could older fans started bitching about it like there is no tomorrow. It just ruins the mood honestly. And the worst part is even fans my age start to chime in. They will make incredible fanprojects and have surprisingly deep conversations but can't fucking accept that ST will go on and evolve with time?!

Srly new generations will learn about Trek and will get into Trek bc of the new material is coming out. Just take PRO! It got my oldest nephew interested in Trek. Or LDX which got my gf to finally give the other Trek series a go (or maybe she just really got annoyed with me constantly sending Trek memes to her who knows) . But now those old fans who build a whole infrastructure around Trek are gatekeeping the hell out of it for nothing and then have the gull to complain about the lack of new fans in their circle.

It's just such a shame honestly. I really like the oldtimy feel they have going with their email lists (and absolute inability to use discord correctly), fan meet ups in shady bars and run down gymnasiums, the constant stream of page long essays analyzing electronics and programming somehow based around the shows and their complete adoration for ship models. It's quirky and weird and fascinating and a part of why I love Trek.

They want new fans to experiance Trek and some of the culture based around it but also drive them away for liking the 'wrong' Trek. In all honesty It just baffles me completely. It's not as if they have to love new Trek, heck you can have legitimate criticism of something in the franchise you love but for the love of the warp drive that doesn't mean it takes away from the things you do like or makes people who like the things you don't your enemy.

And then again hating on the new shows coming out is also kinda part of the Trek culture I mean have you heard about some of the complaining that was going on when TNG came out? Ehhhh it's currently 6 am and i just had to vent sooooooo sry abt that.

an interview with villaz — a talk about synesthesia, euphoria and violin

today's thorns of the future guest is villaz, an electronic & alternative singer and producer from wrocław, poland. many could describe her music as nostalgic and ethereal. villaz's first ever release was "your car", which was later included in the "how it feels to be 19" EP self-released through the polish self-distribution record emuze.me.

thorns of the future: do you prefer making music in polish or english?

villaz: At first I created solely in english. I think the reason was that the language barrier (meaning also the fact that my family did not understand what "attention whore" meant) created some kind of a safe space for me to share my thoughts. Now i grew older, some things changed, and you can get ready for some polish music;)

thorns of the future: what was your first ever live show like?

villaz: My first ever show as villaz was at Transformator in Wrocław, as a guest after a underground fashion show. A few people gathered and my eyes were closed most of the time, because I was so stressed to finally play my own music. After the show, people came to me and I am forever grateful for the support they gave me. One guy even travelled 2 hours to get there!!! I don't think i will ever forget that day, the feeling was unreal:')

thorns of the future: if you could turn back time and change something in your songs, what would you change?

villaz: There is definitely one song that does not resonate with me that much, i have to admit i don't like it. I won't say which one tho hahah I think it's because I did it for others, not for me; it didn't come from my heart. That's the thing I would change and I am changing actively right now - I only put out things I like.

thorns of the future: what is the best thing that's happened to you in your career?

villaz: Singling something would be unfair as so many amazing things had happened along the way. Although I have to say, that I still somehow cannot comprehend the fact that I have actual fans...... !!!!!!!

thorns of the future: how do you pick the covers to your singles & other releases?

villaz: I have synesthesia so it's really easy - the moment I start creating, visuals come to my mind and then I put them together.

thorns of the future: recommend a few artists that you believe should be way more popular.

villaz: MY BEST FRIEND IRYS - SHE DESERVES THE WORLD!!!! other than that I think that some Polish artists deserve international career - just look at Mery Spolsky's "Blond Włosy" ?!?!?! wtf?!?!?!?! this is too good!!!!!!!!!!! one of my fav songs all time for sure!!!

thorns of the future: what's the riskiest thing you've ever done?

villaz: I chose music as my career:')

thorns of the future: what is "your car" about?

villaz: One of the best period of my life. I felt so free, just.... I don't think words could ever describe it. I miss this feeling a lot. I created a piece of art that's euphoric but also nostalgic - to really bring that feeling back.

thorns of the future: what's your favorite song that you've made?

villaz: ITS NOT RELEASED YET SO GET READY!!!!!!!!!!

thorns of the future: if you could ask your younger self about her favorite song, what would she answer?

villaz: Younger? Like 12 - definitely something by guns n' roses - I was obsessed... But younger - like 16 - ilomilo. and that didn't change i think..

thorns of the future: who inspired you to make music?

villaz: My brain lol. I always kinda knew i'm gonna make music. But I love Finneas productions - i think they are what inspires me nowadays.

thorns of the future: what are your plans for the future?

villaz: I hope it won't sound cliche - but I just want to make music and make people happy with it. I want to play more festivals, shows, whatever, just live music. I love it and I think that is the best part of being a musician.

thorns of the future: if you could learn to play ane instrument, what would it be?

villaz: Probably violin, but I can play some basics!!! I borrowed my friend's violin and although I never played it before - I leamed some stuff in like 2 weeks and now the end of 3am" is not a MIDI -I played the violin myself:) (I have to admit, there was lot of tuning. but lol still PLAYED IT!)

thorns of the future: is there anything you'd like to tell your fans?

villaz: GET READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i love you the most

we would like to thank villaz for answering all of our questions. we really appreciate you. that’s all for now.

Fav song from every Beatles album (as of the date of posting) and explanations!

Please Please Me - Twist & Shout: The rasp and imperfections in John’s voice really brings a rancorous energy to it and makes it seem like you’re listening to them perform live. Also, it’s just pretty darn catchy. Good cover.

With the Beatles - Till There Was You: It’s a beautiful love song, with simple but meaningful lyrics. I feel like this song (and the album it’s on in general, minus All My Loving) doesn’t get enough attention. I also like to imagine ships to it sometimes.

A Hard Day’s Night - If I Fell: hehehe McLennon. Okay but actually speaking this is also a really pretty love song, and them singing in harmony really makes you wonder…

Beatles for Sale - I’ll Follow the Sun: To be totally honest, I have not listened to the entirety of Beatles for Sale yet. I really should. Anyways, I’ll Follow the Sun is a really uplifting song, and the guitar tickles my brain in funny ways.

Help! - Help!: I had a hard time deciding, but I picked this one because of John Lennon angst. The “won’t you please, please help me” parts have exquisite harmonies. Plus, it’s catchy!

Rubber Soul - Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown): Again, I had a hard time picking (I love Rubber Soul enough to start a daily blog of it, @rubber-soul-daily, which you should totally follow), but I went with Norwegian Wood because of the evocative imagery and storytelling (and arson). The sitar is also a very cool touch, and definitely shows their growing interest in Indian classical music.

Revolver - Tomorrow Never Knows: This is also an album where I struggled to pick, just because Revolver has so many strong tracks. But Tomorrow Never Knows takes the cake, with its wonderfully experimental production (hell yeah reversed audio!) and also, just the lyrics, man.

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band - A Day in the Life: I really don’t think this one requires an explanation, actually. It’s A Day in the Life!

Magical Mystery Tour - Strawberry Fields Forever: Augh, I have to pick a fave from Magical Mystery Tour too?! Anyways, I know it’s a basic choice, but Strawberry Fields Forever feels simultaneously nostalgic and like you’re exploring another world. Kinda like those analog horror back rooms things, except not at all and completely different because it’s more comforting than creepy. The mellotron intro is really cool and is a great setup for the whole vibe of the song. It’s also a very beautiful song lyrically, being about…huh, what are the lyrics about, exactly? Like John’s childhood and stuff, right? Plus, the story of how the two takes were combined and the reason why it’s in an oddly specific key is fascinating.

The White Album - Dear Prudence: My favorite White Album track has changed a lot. I think it was Savoy Truffle first, then Helter Skelter, then While My Guitar Gently Weeps, then Glass Onion, then Julia, then Back in the U.S.S.R. Recently, I watched the movie Across the Universe, and they named the Asian girl Prudence and did actually use the song Dear Prudence (in contrast, the character named Sadie did not disrespect anyone’s boundaries and they didn’t sing Sexy Sadie). That movie rewired my brain chemistry and now Dear Prudence is super comforting to me.

Yellow Submarine - Hey Bulldog: I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY THE PIANO RIFF SOOOOOOOO BAD and John and Paul barking at each other at the end remind me of my best friend’s silliness. Also, it’s just really, really catchy.

Abbey Road - Because: Because is somehow underrated despite literally being a track on one of the most famous and iconic albums at all time. Seriously, both the harmonies and the lyrics are so beautiful. I cannot get over how well the three harmonize, I wish our choir was that good. Plus, Tally Hall covered it, and I have a soft spot for any song that Tally Hall covers.

Let it Be - I Me Mine: I had a hard time deciding this as well, since Get Back, The Long and Winding Road, and Across the Universe are on this album. But I’m an absolute sucker for songs in 3/4 time (even though I can barely waltz). The chorus being in a different time signature also creates an interesting juxtaposition (not necessarily a good or bad thing, just an interesting thing). The singing is also so passionate, and the lyric “flowing more freely than wine” is just…*chef’s kiss*. I’ve also heard a rumor that George wrote this song about his frustrations with John and Paul, and honestly, based.
