“Please don’t go off, please don’t go off, please do-”

BEEEEEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEEEP

“Goddamnit!” Working as fast as possible, you grab the pan from the hot stove top, removing it from the heat. The blare of the smoke detector rings out through the apartment and you have to act quickly to open all the nearby windows, waving away the smoke in the air with the dish towel. 

Once the smoke mostly clears and the alarms have subsided, you survey the scene in front of you. Grumbling in frustration you eye the now burnt tofu on the stovetop and let out a disappointed sigh. You had just wanted to cook something fun and new for your boyfriend. He’s been camping with his friends for the past week and you figure he would appreciate a home-cooked meal but, as usually happens with you in the kitchen, it turned out to be a disaster. 

You weren’t a cook by any means, but you knew how to get by with very basic skills. Boiling eggs, making stove-top ramen, and using the air fryer slash toaster oven you had begged for on your last birthday. 

All of the essentials of cooking. 

Tonight, the plan was originally to try a new pan-fried tofu recipe you saw on TikTok because it looked yummy. Instead of looking like the wonderfully golden-fried nuggets that they were supposed to resemble, all that sits in the pan in front of you now are uneven little pieces of charcoal. 

Great. Wonderful. Amazing.

Standing in the middle of the kitchen, gnawing at a hangnail in distress, you didn’t even take notice of your boyfriend watching you from the entrance of the room, admiring how cute you looked in your little lounge clothes and apron. His entrance had been drowned out by the blaring of the smoke alarms.

“Don’t chew on your nails, honey, it’s not good for you.”

Joshua’s voice is much louder than the music you are playing from your phone on the counter and you nearly leap into the air when you hear him.

“Jesus, Shua! You scared the shit out of me!” Clutching your chest, you reach over and pause the sound from your phone.

He chuckles as he approaches you, wrapping his arms around your waist and drawing you in for a hug. 

“Sorry, baby. I couldn’t help it.” He apologizes, but the smirk on his face shows he’s not really that sorry.

Joshua places a kiss and your waiting lips and your annoyance at being jump-scared fades. He smells like outside and a little bit like sweat, but underneath that, he still has his usual warm, homey scent that belongs only to him.

You let him take your breath away a little while longer, arms wrapping around his neck to bring him closer. He rests his head against yours when you pull away, his eyes tired but still sparkling down at you.

“How was your guys' camping trip?”

“Well, Mingyu found a spider in his tent and tore the whole thing down trying to get out, Soonyoung got sunburnt and fell into the lake, and Vernon forgot his allergy medicine and spent all week sneezing.”

“So the usual shenanigans?”

With a chuckle, Joshua nods, looking you up and down. “Basically, but I’m having a much better time now that I’m back here with you.” He leans down to kiss your forehead and you still let yourself get flustered by his sweet words, even after three years together. “And what’s going on in here?” He asks when he finally pulls away, eyes looking over your head at the charred remains of your lunch.

“Nothing, just me fucking up in the kitchen again.” Pouting, you cross your arms, wincing as Joshua steps up to the counter, inspecting what’s remaining of the tofu.

“Ah baby, they don’t look that bad…” He uses the chopsticks you left nearby to poke at a piece, raising it to his face and sniffing it.

“Shua, don’t-” Before you can stop him, he pops it into his mouth, chewing extra slowly. Your boyfriend, always so sweet to you and considerate of your feelings, looks like he’s in physical pain as he crunches the food, his nose wrinkling with each shift of his jaw. With a sigh you walk over and grab a sheet of paper towel, holding it up to his mouth. “Spit it out.”

“It doesn’t taste terrible…” he mumbles between chews, eyebrows furrowing as he does.

“Joshua, just spit it out!” At your insistence he does, expression apologetic.

Joshua watches you take the rest of the tofu and throw it away, shoulders slumping in defeat. He moves across the kitchen to stand behind you, wrapping you in his arms. 

“Don’t be upset, baby. It’s just some tofu.”

“But I fucked up lunch for you! I just wanted to make you a homemade meal since you’ve been eating over a campfire all week.” Joshua coos at you, pulling you tighter against him.

“Aw, sweetheart, you didn’t have to do all this in the first place. I think we both know that you would’ve been better off ordering something. There’s a reason I do most of the cooking, remember?” He laughs, his tone teasing.

Gasping, you spin in his hold, round eyes staring up at him as you pout for what feels like the twentieth time tonight. “Joshie, are you saying I can’t cook?!”

Faltering, Joshua’s eyes dart back and forth, strategically planning his next words. 

“I - I didn’t mean that you can’t cook, Y/n. I just -”

“I’m kidding, Shua. Of course, I know I can’t cook.” He’s clearly relieved, rolling his eyes at your giggles. 

Joshua leans down to pepper your face with kisses, holding you close, ignoring your feeble attempt to escape his grasp.

“I guess it’s a good thing then that I wasn’t even thinking about what I’d eat for lunch.” He places a final kiss on your cheek before pulling back to gaze at you.

“You weren’t?”

“Of course not. How could I even begin to think about lunch when all I could think about was tasting you again?” Joshua smirks at you, laughing when you scoff, your turn to roll your eyes at him.

“How did I know you wouldn’t even be a little bit subtle about wanting to have sex as soon as you got back?” 

“Because you know how addicted I am to you and how much I think about you.” You and Joshua are chest to chest, his hands tracing your body, fingertips pressing lightly into your curves.

Joshua’s voice has already lowered an octave, eyes flickering to your lips. You’re in no way surprised at how quickly Joshua turned the situation from silly and domestic to horny, but you’re not bothered in the slightest, more than happy to fuck your boyfriend again. A week has been far too long of a time to go without Joshua’s cock inside of you.

“Oh, so you were thinking of me on your trip? Thought you’d be too busy grilling meat and playing games with the boys.” 

“Baby, I’m always thinking about you, but especially when we’re not together.” Joshua ducks down, his nose brushing yours. 

“And what about me were you thinking about exactly?” You whisper, holding your breath as you await his next words.

“Well, I was thinking all about how sweet your cunt is and how I couldn’t wait to come home and devour you.”

Somehow you hadn’t registered that Joshua walked you back until the counter pressed into your lower back, trapping you between it and Joshua’s firm body.

“Hmm…then I guess lunch is served whenever you’re ready to eat,” Tilting your head up, your lips brush against Joshua’s. You shift your leg forward, knee brushing against the crotch of his sweatpants. A grunt slips out of him when you make contact with his half-hard cock and he surges forward, lips meeting yours in a feverish kiss. 

Joshua’s soft lips move against yours, his hands cupping your face to keep you close. Your hands trail up Joshua’s thick arms, tracing every ridge and dip of muscle. You’ve never been shy about how much you enjoy the new gym rat era he and a few of his friends have entered, making sure to be very obvious about the way you appreciate the new muscle he’s worked on gaining. He also doesn’t hide just how much he loves how the bulkier version of him turns you on, your boyfriend flexing for you so the muscles tense and loosen a few times under your fingertips.

Those same strong arms move to hold your waist, holding onto you as he swallows every pant and tiny whine that you let out. Joshua’s tongue wraps around yours and sucks, the kiss descending into lewd territory as Joshua grinds against your thigh still wedged between his legs.

The kiss feels like it goes on forever, which is in no way a complaint. Joshua’s hands wander all over your body, hands skating down to grab at your bare thighs and up to your ass, grabbing a handful to bring your hips impossibly closer. It’s almost embarrassing how wet you are, feeling your cotton panties clinging to you with each shuffle of the fabric. 

Joshua seems to read your mind as he finally moves a hand under your apron and into the waistband of your shorts and panties, his finger grazing your pussy making you jolt and buck into his hand.

“Would you look at that? You’re fucking drenched just from my kisses?” To illustrate his point, he pulls his fingers from your shorts, holding the wet digits up to showcase your juices to you both.

“Fuck, yeah, I need you so badly. I missed you so much.”

Joshua hums, popping his fingers into his mouth, eyes closing as he sucks them clean, savoring your flavor. The scene is enough to have you rubbing your thighs together, easily recalling just how good his tongue feels when it’s on you.

“Mmm, I missed you too, baby. And speaking of, I’m starving, so I think I’m ready to eat now.”

Joshua plants his hands on your hips and turns you around so his front is pressed against your back, walking with you out of the kitchen and around to the island, leaving kisses on the back of your neck as you go. When you reach the side of the island that you usually sit to eat at, Joshua’s nimble fingers untie your apron and lift it over your head, tossing it to the floor. Your shorts and panties come next as he slides the fabric down your legs, letting them pool at your feet.

Your boyfriend makes a sound of appreciation at the sight of your bare ass, big hands squeezing your cheeks before landing a firm smack on one of them. He helps you up onto the island, sitting you near the edge. Joshua pulls up a stool in front of you, spreading your legs wide, and letting out a low whistle.

“Look at all of this, so messy and sloppy all for me.” Joshua leans forward and places kisses on the inside of your thighs, inhaling your scent as he does, small moans rumbling in his throat.

A few whimpers slip out of you with each kiss over your hot skin, Joshua’s breath hitting your core only serving to make you wetter. Joshua loves eating you out, always talking about how good you taste and how much he loves the way you smell when you’re dripping for him.

He doesn’t leave you waiting for long this time (another thing Joshua loves is to tease you, but he seems to want you bad enough to spare you this time) as his tongue finally licks at your clit, the muscle flattening and adding much-needed pressure. 

A squeal of Joshua’s name tumbles out of you as he licks a fat stripe from your hole to your clit - once, twice, three times, each go making you twitch underneath him. Your legs almost snap shut, but his firm grip keeps them open.

“Nuh-uh, keep your legs open, baby girl. I haven’t even started eating my meal.”

Your eyes stay trained on him as his hands grab the back of your thighs, pushing them toward you. You lie on your back in a more comfortable position, hands trembling as they hold onto the front of your shirt in anticipation.

“I’ll never get tired of eating you out, you know that? Never get tired of how fucking sweet you taste on my tongue.” To further his point, Joshua’s thick tongue slips into your pussy, lapping at your gummy walls, letting his nose brush against your clit.

“F-fuck!” Your hands dart down, fingers threading through his brunette strands, tugging at the root as he tongue fucks you on the kitchen island. 

Every grunt and groan that Joshua lets out is deep, deep enough that the vibrations can be felt throughout your whole body. You can’t help but thrash underneath him, loud obscene slurping sounds fill the room as he works. Joshua’s hands keep your thighs pinned down, preventing you from nearly falling off the counter while his face presses closer to your cunt. 

He eats you out like a man starved, a week without your pussy proving to be much too long away for him. The tip of his tongue is still buried inside of you, flicking at your walls at an almost impossible speed. 

Fire begins to quickly pool in the pit of your stomach, nails digging into Joshua’s scalp which only spurs him on more.

“Shua, b-baby so good!”

“Mmph?” You can’t quite hear what he says but it sounds like it has a questioning tilt at the end.

“‘M gonna cum!”

That must’ve been what he was getting at because he picks up the pace and moves his hold on you to the sides of your thighs and makes you wrap your legs around his head. Joshua uses this new angle to force you to rock your hips against his face, leaning into you so far that when you glance down, all you see is the top of his hair which you’re still holding onto for dear life. 

Rolling your hips you go with his movement, desperately riding his face. Joshua lets you, his tongue drilling into you, bringing you closer and closer to the edge.

When you do cum, you stiffen almost painfully as heat spreads through your body, your thighs squeezing around him like a vice, holding him in place. Your boyfriend happily continues lapping at your sensitive core, murmurs of praise accompanying his coos of delight.

“So fucking tasty,” Joshua sighs as he pulls back, finally taking in air through his mouth. He glances at you, watching your chest heave as you catch your breath. Without a second thought, with your hole still clenching around nothing, Joshua shoves one of his thick fingers into you, drawing a gasp out of you. 

“Shua!?”

He has the audacity to blink up at you, faux innocence on his face along with your juices still shining on the bottom half of his face.

“What? I want seconds.” He shrugs, adding a second finger which has you cursing, senses on overdrive. Joshua’s plush lips are back on your clit, sucking the nub into his mouth, ignoring the way your nails dig into his hair again, tugging on his soft locks. 

“Ngh, Josh-Joshua! Please!”

“Please what, baby?” He mumbles, lips still suckling on your clit, your legs quivering as they rest on his shoulders. His fingers have no trouble finding that soft squishy spot inside of you that has your eyes crossing, the squelching sound of your wetness ringing in your ears.

“I’m - I just…” You trail off when your boyfriend curls his fingers, the overstimulation derailing your train of thought as you feel another orgasm hurdling toward you. Joshua smirks up at you, loving the way he can literally watch as your brain short-circuits for him - because of him.

His lips go back to your clit, suctioning around the bud. His fingers delve into you faster, your velvety walls hugging his digits, coating them in more of your sticky arousal. Sweat beads at your hairline and tears prick your eyes as Joshua throws you into another orgasm, electricity coursing through your veins and a choked, desperate cry of Joshua’s name tumbling from your lips. 

“Yeah, just like that, good girl.” He purrs against your overworked pussy, slowly dragging his fingers out of you. You whimper at the loss, only for the sound to be replaced by a loud wail, Joshua’s slick fingers rubbing rough, frantic circles against your clit. 

“Shit! Fuck, Shua I’m - fuuuck!”

“Come on baby girl, one more. Make a mess all over the fucking counter.” The pads of his fingers drag against your clit, body arching as you flail your hands, scrambling across the marble of the counter looking for something to ground you.

The sensation borders on painful, the sensitivity too much to handle as the pleasure builds and your muscles spasm. When you cum this time, it knocks the wind out of you, your eyes rolling back, your mouth open in a silent scream. Joshua leans down, eyes watching with glee as you squirt all over his hand and arm, getting your mixture of arousal on his shirt. He even cranes his head down, mouth open to drink up the remaining spurts of your release.

He rubs lazy circles over your puffy clit, letting you ride out the rest of your orgasm until your hoarse voice begs him to stop and he does, but not before wiping up as much of your wetness as he can on his fingers and popping them into his mouth once again.

“Fucking hell, Shua!” You huff out when you’ve finally sucked enough air back into your lungs.

“What? I told you I was starving.” His cocky grin earns him a half-hearted kick to his shoulder using the minuscule amount of energy you have remaining. He catches your leg, placing a soft kiss on your ankle before he straightens up and sits back to admire your ruined state.

“Are you going to help me up or leave me here for the rest of the day?” 

“I should eat all of my meals in the kitchen, but I suppose I can help you down.” Joshua laughs at your half-hearted threat to kick him again and offers his hands to you. He helps you sit upright and slowly slides you off of the island. 

When you’re back on shaky feet, you move to pick your bottoms up, but he stops you by pulling you against him.

“Wh-”

“Oh, you don’t need those. I’m gonna order some lunch for us, but I need dessert before it gets here.” He presses his hips forward, his rock-hard dick pressing against your ass. Joshua once again envelops you in his warm embrace, lips skirting against the shell of your ear. “That okay with you, baby?”

Between the orgasms he pushed out of you only minutes ago and the dip in his voice, wetness collects between your legs again, pussy clenching at the thought of Joshua fucking you for real.

“That’s more than okay with me,” you rasp, clearing your throat. “I’m feeling pretty empty myself and am dying to be stuffed.”

**the songs with asterisks may or may not already have lines. my blog is old enough now that I struggle to comb through the whole thing, and tagging isn't always perfect. don't worry about re-using a song, though; as long as it's not an egregious duplication of an existing post, you're alright.

also, I only post every few days, so forgive me if it takes a while to get to your submission. sometimes I don't post lines until months after they've been sent in, so if you've submitted and I haven't posted, it may just be lost in my ass-long queue. or i just don't think it's very good. but you have no way of knowing, do you.

Get to Know Me!

tagged by @lostyesterday (thanks for the tag <333)

Last song: based on my phone – Everything's Here And Nothing's Lost by Snow Patrol but technically my last song is about two lines from Intros & Narrators by Bastille which i've been listening to on repeat for a few days while editing my Janeway fanvid.

Favorite color: purple!

Currently watching: just finished watching Only Murders in the Building which i enjoyed more than i thought i would since i'm not a huge fan of murder mysteries but it's fun! also the musical numbers in s3 slapped and i'm looking forward to the rest of s4.

Last movie: i genuinely have no idea, i haven't been watching a lot of movies lately so it might be Star Trek 2009??? which i rewatched over a month ago i think.

Sweet/spicy/savory: currently sweet because i'm currently eating some freshly baked chocolate chip cookies :)

Relationship status: single and happy.

Current obsessions: (glances around) i mean you're on this blog so i think you can put two and two together here. aside from Star Trek & Doctor Who, i've been getting back into cross stitching which hopefully won't absolutely fuck up my hands this time (i mean... they will, i'm just trying to be better about only doing it for an hour a day and wearing my elbow brace & compression gloves)

Last thing I googled: "best toasters" ok. so earlier today i fucked up my toaster beyond belief and i do need to tell the story now because it's still absolutely baffling to me. (under the cut because uh. it got long.)

tagging: any of my mutuals! sorry i'm so bad at tag games.

toaster story:

i was having a late lunch (toast with some leftovers) and sliced my bread a bit too thin (not a big deal, happens all the time, right? right?) i popped the toast up a little early because i didn't want it to get burnt but it got stuck. not a problem. i'll get some (non metal) tongs. whoops! it fell out of the little toast cage because of how thin it is and now it's more stuck. okay well i'll unplug the toaster and just turn it upside down. nope. it somehow falls to the bottom where the crumb tray is. ok well i'll just flip it back around, take out the crumb tray and it's fine, right? i flip it around and the toast is simply not visible anymore. "well that's weird," i say, "surely if i shake it some more, it'll come out, right?" it did not. i start to question whether the bread is even in there anymore because where could it go???? before spotting it with my flashlight and seeing that it somehow migrated to the wall between the food/toaster part of the toaster and the circuitry part of the toaster. i have no idea how it happened but it should be easy to free it if i just undo the screws that attach the bottom panel of the toaster and i can do a good deep clean of everything. i take five screws out, no problem and it's starting to pry off. i get to the last screw and... it's completely stripped. i have a pretty comprehensive toolbox with one of those multi-piece screwdrivers that has like 50 different heads. usually with stripped screws, you can find something that sorta works well enough to get it out but nope. nothing even close to fitting. at this point i decide to text my mom the situation because surely i was missing something obvious. my mom comes over laughing a bit at me because i'm known for overlooking easy solutions and surely it's not possible to fuck up making toast this much. it was. another hour passes and we definitely can't get out the screw without destroying the toaster and we haven't been able to shake the toast out. any sane person would probably just think that maybe the $30 toaster had served its purpose and is a lost cause. but a new strategy emerged! we managed to shake the bread to the unscrewed side of the toaster and could pry it open about three quarters of an inch. the bread somehow managed to get behind a circuit board so we just needed to be able to navigate it around and theoretically pull it out. after a few attempts, i finally managed to grab hold of the bread (that was somehow still entirely intact?) with my weirdly skinny fingers and i pulled it out victorious! however we did completely bend the plastic base that we were prying up and during a brief test to see if the toaster still worked it definitely started to smell like burning electronics so. rip. but we got the bread out just to prove we could!! and frankly i think i would have had too much of a grudge against that toaster to keep using it even if it did work.

so yeah. therefore googling "best toasters".

[swampgallows]

You recently reblogged a post of the "waifu bait" twitter post, and mentioned not watching modern anime. I tried looking up anime on your blog and you said you liked Tokyo Godfathers, so I trust your taste lol. Can you recommend some other anime you liked? Preferably movies, but this doesn't really matter.

OMG thats very sweet of you haha. my anime tag is actually "animu" but a lot of it is just aesthetic posts/gifs. i find i still gravitate toward anime from the late 90s - early 00s but not for lack of trying. what i like most about anything animated is the animation itself so i place a higher premium on anime that isn't mostly static intricate paper dolls with mouth flaps or is at least nice to look at. i prefer slice of life over action or mecha/sci-fi in any kind of media, so while i've heard really great things about ghost in the shell, gundam, etc. i've never seen them.

i also have a very low tolerance for most shonen ("h-his power level... it's over 9000!" playground battle tactics) and most sexual tropes/fanservice ("onee-chan let's compare chest sizes!" type shit). it's probably more accurate to say i like some japanese animation rather than "anime", if that makes sense. essentially anything rating fairly low across the weeb-ass-shit scale.

recs under cut cause it got long!!

= movies, in chronological order: obligatory ghibli favorites: my neighbor totoro (1988), kiki's delivery service (1989), only yesterday (1991). only yesterday is a little more obscure than the other two but ghibli films have pretty much a universal seal of approval so i doubt a pitch is necessary. onward!

little nemo: adventures in slumberland (1989): hey does this count as anime? i hope so. one of the pivotal founts of nightmare fuel from my youth (beaten only by brave little toaster, perhaps) this film has eluded seemingly everyone i know in my age group and i'm not sure why. while it's not nearly as inappropriate as its early 20th century source material it may have fallen to scarcity due to its "pg" content, like tobacco use and several frightening scenes, a la the failure of disney's the black cauldron. regardless, the animation is fluid, the songs are cute, the backgrounds are beautifully painted, and there at least a handful of shots that will flash in your mind before bed.

princess arete (2001): hits a lil close to home since it's about a girl named arete trapped in her room and yearning for autonomy, to create things with her hands, and to participate in the outside world. a bit slow paced and quiet but i think it adds to the atmosphere and immersive isolation, and it does pick up near the end a bit.

interstella 5555 (2003): obligatory. more of a feature-length music video than a film but still has a cohesive narrative. hope you like french house!

MIND GAME (2004): my feelings about mind game are fairly similar to my feelings about burning man: grateful i had the experience, but once is enough. i personally don't care for "trippy" stuff, but the animation itself does have some great visuals, switching up different styles and even incorporating live action footage and rotoscoping for an experimental "patchwork" feel. nishi, a down-on-his-luck loser, grapples with purpose and the meaning of life after a handful of near-death experiences, including being swallowed by a whale; anything "biblical" after that is all knowledge-wise. like princess arete, this one's also by studio 4C but is intended for mature audiences (lots of sex. and a rape, as a warning). if you liked tekkonkinkreet (another 4C production) or paprika (satoshi kon), mind game is worth a shot.

---

= series, in chronological order:

oishinbo (1988-92): almost like a shonen, but with gourmet cooking. as part of their cultural division, a japanese newspaper tasks two journalists, yamaoka and kurita, with creating "the ultimate menu" to broaden japanese culinary horizons. yamaoka is the estranged son of a highly venerated food critic and engages in a persistent rivalry with his father to both prove his expertise and to challenge the rigid traditions. kurita is an average working girl of the 80s providing the audience perspective as we learn the elaborate methods of the gourmet cooking world alongside her. nostalgic for its music, setting, and style, this was a big comfort anime for me, though despite its several seasons it never wraps up the story of the manga. also kurita has a unique outfit almost every episode, which is a nice detail. i only found out about it because of @/80sanime!

tenchi muyo + tenchi universe (1992-95): harem anime crossed with a feudal japanese space opera of sorts. i first saw the show on toonami as a kid, and what hooked me instantly were all the different personalities of the girls. if you're familiar with the cartoon the owl house, it's said that eda is HEAVILY inspired in personality, character design, and even voice by one of the main characters, ryoko hakubi, a space pirate hiding out on earth from the galaxy police. mostly comedy with obligatory hot springs and beach episodes, but has spaceship battles and magical sword fights too.

neon genesis evangelion (1995-6) + the end of evangelion (1997): i should not have watched this as a 12 year old. although i think anyone of any age who watches end of evangelion walks away permanently changed. (due to the nature of the series, it is unclear whether the "rebuild of evangelion" films are remakes or sequels, but i personally don't recommend them either way.) if you are somehow not familiar with evangelion: teens pilot giant robots against extraterrestrial threats called "angels". things become... much less about giant robots.

azumanga daioh (2002): this was one of the first series i had ever seen (western or japanese) about girls being friends that wasnt preoccupied with getting boyfriends or being "girly". still has the occasional fanservice tropes, but mostly comedic or quickly over with. since it was adapted from the 4 panel comic strips, it retains a lot of the short-form humor as quick vignettes or gags. not as exaggerated and boisterous as nichijou but similar, and way less insipid than k-on but still has sentimental and cute moments between the girls.

ashita no nadja (2003-4): nadja, an orphaned dancer in london, is on a quest to find her mother. she travels across (mostly) europe with the dandelion troupe, a group of entertainers with their own fraught backstories. she is intent on helping everyone she meets, sometimes to her own detriment, and learns lessons along the way about who she can trust, how a person's past can change them, and that not everything can be fixed with a smile and a song. meanwhile there's a kind of tuxedo mask thing going on between a pair of twin brothers, and nadja struggles with romantic feelings for both of them. overall very much a feelgood "girl cartoon", but i liked the dance sequences, the animation quality, and the evolution of nadja's character. i got to vicariously travel and dance alongside her, and i liked cheering on someone with a good heart working hard to make her dreams come true.

paradise kiss (2005): MAN i should watch this again. reserved overachiever high school student Caroline stumbles into the world of underground fashion and street culture as a model, blowing open the confines of her previously sheltered life. while she finds a home in ParaKiss she also has to confront the dark sides of fame, the fashion industry, and the strain it puts on their relationships. as a fairly introverted raver with model friends i related to a lot of it. also for queer points, george is bisexual and isabella has been praised as positive representation by trans women, especially for a series from the aughts. also WHATTT THE FUCK PATRICK SEITZ VOICES GEORGE IN THE DUB??? OHHH MY GOD okay anyway

the ancient magus bride (mahou tsukai no yome) (2017-2023): stunning animation, and a series i've yet to catch up with purely because i end up crying virtually every episode. it's a bit of a wish fulfillment thing (teenage girl discovers she has special powers and is whisked away from her abusive home life to a medieval fantasy world where she is betrothed to a tender monster-man) but has a lot of great worldbuilding and poignant storylines. it's ghibli-esque in a way but with more of an overarching melancholy and sense of foreboding compared to the average ghibli film. and just to get it out of the way for some inexplicable reason a few of the side characters have HUMONGOUS hungolomghnonoloughongous

---

ive seen quite a bit of anime in my day but these are the ones i actually remember watching and enjoying. like i recently watched all of slayers and most of slayers next, and while it was satisfying in a 90s nostalgia way i wouldnt necessarily recommend it. also there are some very highly acclaimed films and series that i haven't gotten around to yet (full metal alchemist brotherhood, cowboy bebop [I KNOW IM SORRY], the animatrix, etc.) hopefully this is enough to go off of for now!

Brony Song Tournament: Results of Round 1

(Warning: long post. Many stats)

The three biggest landslides were Discord (remix), The Moon Rises, and Rainbow Factory. Winning by 95.8%, 94.7% and 92.5% respectively (not counting votes for Show Results)

This is expected. These are the songs representing this blog in its header, and the number 1 song of the video the tournament is based on.

Swing! Tavi Swing! is an honorable mention, being the upset that won by the biggest margin (88.5%) and number 6 overall

The three closest matches were L_ST _N D_TA vs Open Your Eyes (51.8% or 6 votes)

Chug Jug vs I'll Fly Higher (50.3% or one vote!!)

And finally Earnest vs Wings of Moonlight, which was an exact tie!!

Even the poll to determine what we do in the event of a tie, almost tied (one vote difference)

(and for the record: my vote was for On Wings of Moonlight, so given the tiebreaker, Earnest wins)

An honorable mention goes to Mad This Time vs Let's Go and Meet the Bronies, which was the eighth closest match (53.9% or 23 votes) despite being between the fourth highest and lowest seeds.

Meet the Bronies was actually winning for the first few days of the poll, so if it had only lasted a day, Mad This Time would have been Upset this time.

Speaking of upsets, 20/64 of the matches were upsets, the first of which was Pony Waifu vs Double Rainboom.

Some artists were involved in a number of songs in the bracket. Below is how many songs by (or featuring) each artist were in the bracket, followed by how many of those made it into round two.

4everfreebrony |14 | 3 Friendship is Witchcraft | 9 | 8 The Living Tombstone | 9 | 7 Vylet Pony | 8 | 6 Wooden Toaster | 7 | 6* PrinceWhateverer | 7 | 5 Mandopony | 7 | 4 Aviators | 6 | 3 Acoustic Brony | 4 | 3 Mic the Microphone | 4 | 3 Awkward Marina | 4 | 2 Rainbow Dash Presents | 4 | 2 EileMonty | 4 | 2 Black Gryph0n | 4 | 2

*The one WoodenToaster song that lost was actually a remix of another of his songs, which did win

This is the same as above, but with the characters the song focuses on

Rainbow Dash |12 | 4 Luna |11 | 7 Pinkie Pie |10 | 5 Fluttershy | 9 | 4 Discord | 8 | 4 Sweetie Belle* | 7 | 6 Celestia | 7 | 2 Twilight | 6 | 4 Rarity | 6 | 3 Trixie | 5 | 2 Applejack | 5 | 1 Derpy/Muffins | 5 | 1 Octavia | 4 | 2

*4|3 of these are Sweetie Bot specifically

Songs that were a part of Brony Polka generally did well. How well? Well, at the start all 25 Brony Polka songs (including BP itself) were in the bracket. All but 3 of them made it into round 2. And the reason those 3 lost, was because they went against another Brony Polka Song.

17 songs took the melody of another song and just added new lyrics, like a Minecraft parody song (which one of them literally was). Of these, only 3 made it to round 2.

In order to adjust Shunks' top 100 list (technically 101, as she also placed Discord (remix) at #3 as a bonus) to a power of 2, I had to add 27 songs. Of these 27 new songs, only 9 made it to Round 2 (though three matchups were between two new songs, so the possible range of new songs making it to round 2 is 3-24)

9 songs were primarily made up of clips from the show. 5 of these made it to round 2

As for how my taste conforms to the Tumblr collective: I have 53 of the songs from the bracket saved to my Music folder. 34 of those songs made it to round 2 (though in some matchups, I had both songs saved, so the possible range is 10-43)

Also, here is the poll that wound up looking most like a penis poll.

Round 2 starts tomorrow!

[skyfallstarlights]

//: Honestly another way to describe this blog is the vibes that Brave Little Toaster and Alice in Wonderland [1951]

//: There's other media, expecailly since some of the OC's here are inspired by them. But these two are examples of writing vibes I write with of ' whismy but theres defintally doom around the corner that you most likely will have a catchy musical number '

DJTober 2023: A Monthly Fan Creation Challenge

Introducing, a new Fan Art/Fan Fiction Challenge for the Month of October 2023!

Links: Archive of Our Own and Spotify Playlist.

I always like monthly fanfiction and fan art challenges in certain months that create new work and get the creative flow going. So I decided I wanted to make my own challenge that anyone could join.

Information and Text version of Prompts under the cut:

So what is DJTober? It is a challenge where you can draw or write based on random songs and verses as the daily prompts. I picked the name because it was different and I think Songtober was already taken. You can either post fan art or write fanfic or create a gif or anything that you feel like creating! Will this be a thing? Who knows? Will I make a side blog for this? It depends. Either way, I'm going to try this challenge myself and share it with others.

A couple of things to note:

In order for me to see your work on your platform (either Tumblr or AO3), please use the tags: #DJTober and #DJTober2023.

You can write a one-shot or multiple chapters, one fandom or multiple, and dark/whump/NSFW are allowed as well. Just make sure to tag appropriately and be mindful of triggers/content warnings.

Having said that, I do not allow things like pedophilia or similar in the works. I will immediately remove it and/or take drastic measures if need be.

Your fic can either be inspired by the song itself or by the suggested verse in the picture, or a different lyric of your choice. You can even have someone say the lyric in a quote. Your fic does not have to be a songfic.

You do not have to go in order of the list and you can start as early or late as you want. Just be aware that the collection that is opened now will remain unmoderated until the end of the first week of November.

Without further ado, here are the prompts:

Life's no fun without a good scare. (This Is Halloween from Nightmare Before Christmas)

2) All of your time spent keeps us alive. (Larger Than Life by Backstreet Boys)

3) Think of it as my desire for you. (Chant from Hadestown)

4) Tell me you love me in private. (Montero (Call Me By Your Name) by Lil Nas X)

5) I'm wearing my heart like a crown, pretending that you're still around. (The Great Pretender by The Platters)

7) Because you're mine. (I Put A Spell On You, either Screamin' Jay Hawkins or the Hocus Pocus version)

9) Just what to do. Help them to help you. (The Pitiful Children from Be More Chill)

10) Talk so pretty, but your heart got teeth. (Teeth by 5 Seconds of Summer)

11) Go ahead and kick it up a notch if your life is at a level too low. (Kick It Up A Notch from Starkid's Starship)

12) Don't have the heart to live in the fast lane. (Worthless from The Brave Little Toaster)

13) And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike. (Thriller by Michael Jackson)

14) May your feet serve you well and the rest be sent to Hell. (Let's Kill Tonight by Panic! At The Disco)

15) This plant is talking to you. (Sominex/Suppertime II from Little Shop of Horrors)

16) Your beauty never ever scared me. (Mary on a Cross by Ghost)

17) Music and passion were always the fashion at the Copa. Don't fall in love. (Copacabana by Barry Manilow)

18) Part of life's eternal rhyme. (Mother Earth and Father Time from Charlotte's Web)

19) You can't reason with a headless man. (The Headless Horseman, any version)

20) With a taste of poison paradise. (Toxic by Britney Spears)

28) Sip the gossip, drink til you choke. (Gossip by Maneskin)

30) Every day, I'll take you higher and I'll never let you fall. (Let Me Be Your Wings from Thumbelina)

31) Writer's Choice/Request/Free Space (You can either choose a favorite song of your own, request a song on your blog for others to suggest, or use this as a free space/day to write whatever you want).

If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact me. Please reblog to spread the word!

[synths-and-sensibility]

Hello! Welcome to my music sideblog!!

I'm Char (they/she) and my main blog is over at @vulpes-aestatis where I do all my regular weird internet shitposting scrapbooking.

Just some background I guess: a little while ago I saw a post on tumblr that had one of those videos of a modular system hooked up to a mushroom. I thought, "oh wow, this is really cool, I wish I could do do something like that," and I fell hard down the modular synth rabbit hole. I quickly discovered that synth modules are very expensive, but I also came across Ray Wilson's Make: Analog Synthesizers and realized that I already had a bunch of the electronics parts I needed sitting in a bin next to my desk. I reacquainted myself with a bunch of electronics concepts (including op amps, my old nemesis from my college mechoptronics class). I've also started looking into some music theory, which turns out it's one of those topics I wish I had discovered way earlier in my life.

As of right now, the only thing I've actually built is a VCO prototype based on the Noise Toaster that's presented in the book I mentioned above. I think initially, I'll probably end up getting pre-designed pcb's and panels rather than design my own, but it'll still be absolutely fascinating to explore all the intricacies of how it all works.

I think it might be fun to use this blog as kind of a dumping ground to explain some of the concepts and the various things I'm working on: electronics, synth patches, music stuff, or I guess anything even vaguely related. I guess I'll see how it goes and what direction I want to go, but I'm excited to start on this journey with y'all!

I’ll post when it’s time for that

Anyway, thank you for enjoying this blog so far 🙏

[disney-film-tourney]

Hey everyone!

I'm recycling the Animal Crossing Tourney side blog for Disney now, so it's had a bit of a makeover.

So here are the movies I'm thinking of doing. I'll add notes for the questionable ones. Please let me know if there are any you want me to remove or add.

Some notes to start off with:

- There are four groups: Golden to Bronze, Dark Ages to Renaissance, Post-Ren, and Revival

- They're ranked by how they're rated on IMDB

- I only have the first film of each franchise included

- Only fully animated films are included (old school and CGI.) So the part live action, part animated films were left out. (But if anyone really wants them added, I'll go back and include them. Mostly did it like this so I wouldn't have to do Song of the South 😬 since I think that's mixed)

Golden to Bronze:

(1) Fantasia

(2) Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs, The Jungle Book

(3) Pinocchio, Robin Hood, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

(4) Bambi, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Lady & the Tramp

(5) Dumbo, Sleeping Beauty

(6) The Sword & the Stone, The Aristocats

(7) The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr. Toad*, The Rescuers

(8) Victory Through Air Power*

(9) Make Mine Music*

*I haven't actually seen any of these, but they're old Disney films

Dark Ages to Renaissance:

(1) The Lion King

(2) Toy Story

(3) Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin

(4) The Nightmare Before Christmas*

(5) The Little Mermaid, Mulan

(6) The Brave Little Toaster*, Hercules, Tarzan

(7) The Fox & the Hound, A Bug's Life

(8) The Great Mouse Detective

(9) The Hunchback of Notre Dame

(10) A Goofy Movie

(11) Pocahontas

(12) Oliver & Company

(13) The Black Cauldron

*The Nightmare Before Christmas - Tim Burton was working for Disney at the time. Film was released through Touchstone Pictures (owned by Disney) due to concerns it was too scary for kids. It's also been reissued under Walt Disney Pictures.

*The Brave Little Toaster - Original Pixar members were involved. Walt Disney Studios got rights to the book in 1982.

Post-Ren:

(1) WALL-E

(2) Finding Nemo

(3) Monsters, Inc., Ratatouille

(4) The Incredibles

(5) The Emperor's New Groove

(6) Lilo & Stitch

(7) Treasure Planet, Cars

(8) Atlantis: The Lost Empire

(9) Brother Bear, Meet the Robinsons, Bolt

(10) Paris 2054: Renaissance*

(11) Dinosaur

(12) Chicken Little

(13) Home on the Range

(14) The Wild

(15) Roadside Romeo*

*Paris 2054: Renaissance - Released by MiraMax when they were under Disney. Disney provided some funding. Personally I'm iffy on this one since it doesn't feel very Disney, and it's rated R.

*Roadside Romeo - Produced by Walt Disney Pictures India, Yash Raj Films, and Disney World Cinema. Distributed by Walt Disney Motion Pictures.

Revival:

(1) Coco

(2) Up

(3) Inside Out

(4) Zootopia, Soul

(5) Big Hero 6

(6) Tangled

(9) Raya & the Dragon

(10) Encanto

(11) The Princess & The Frog, Brave

(12) Ron's Gone Wrong*, Turning Red

(13) Frankenweenie

(14) A Christmas Carol*, Arjun: The Warrior Prince*

(15) The Good Dinosaur

(16) Gnomeo & Juliet*

(17) Strange Magic*

(18) Strange World

(19) Mars Needs Moms*

(20) Elemental*, Wish*, Elio*

*Ron's Gone Wrong - Released by 20th Century Studios after being acquired by Disney. The soundtrack was released by Walt Disney Records.

*A Christmas Carol & Mars Needs Moms - Produced by ImageMovers Digital, a joint venture animation company by ImageMovers & The Walt Disney Company. Released by Walt Disney Pictures.

*Arjun: The Warrior Prince - Produced by Walt Disney Pictures & UTV Motion Pictures.

*Gnomeo & Juliet - Produced by Touchstone Pictures (owned by Disney), Rocket Pictures (parent company is Lucasfilm which is now part of Walt Disney Studios - look at that chain~), & Starz Animation. Distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

*Strange Magic - Produced by multiple Lucasfilm companies (under Disney), & Touchstone Pictures (owned by Disney.) Distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

*Elemental, Wish, & Elio - To be released 6/16/23, 11/22/23, & 3/2024, respectively. Elemental & Elio are both Pixar, & Wish is Walt Disney Animation Studios.

Modern Day Latest-Version Minecraft is Actively Hostile to Autistic People with Sensory Issues

Hi, welcome to my Ed Talk. You’re probably wondering a few things about that title I’ve made there. What a claim, right? You’re probably wondering who this guy is who’s ripping on new Minecraft versions and why he has to make this “hot take” on his Minecraft blog.

But no, I swear there’s much more to it than that. I’m annoyed at Minecraft and what it is now, sure, but that’s not what this post is about. I’m not here to say “hahaha Minecraft is bad”, or start a discourse about whether the updates have made the game better or worse. This is about what Minecraft might do to you if you have sensory issues. I have to say something about this, because it has probably affected other people before if it has affected me.

I am going to share a quote that I just yesterday retrieved from my old Discord DMs with a fellow Minecrafter friend who I talk to often. He’s a streamer, and I used to join his stream chat very often. At this point it is important to note that at the time of the following quote, I had only been playing Alpha, Beta, and/or early parts of Full Release for months and months. You know, the retro shit. The stuff The Yogscast, Machinima Network, and even BdoubleO used to play. This is the exact quote, copied and pasted:

“I probably would have joined that stream a mere 12 minutes into the entire broadcast, except I had just played Minecraft 1.16 a few minutes prior, and the experience ultimately made me feel - and this is true - borderline suicidal because of how trash the singleplayer's visuals, sounds, and gameplay were. I figured it would be a bad idea to watch Minecraft live at such a time.”

That quote was hard to find, because I sent it in 2020. I had to strenuously reach into my DMs and find a specific unknown time from 3 years ago. And I have not played modern Minecraft survival seriously in all the time since then either, but I don’t play it now because well, for one thing I have a lot of contempt for it. But mostly it’s because I’m scared of the sensory distress it’ll undoubtedly put me in.

Listen, Minecraft isn’t as clean and out-of-your-face as it used to be, much more tolerable than now in versions even as late as Minecraft Release 1.6. Minecraft 1.6 could be fine for me. Minecraft FR 1.7.3 on the other hand... well, that was the version that introduced the bug where you can’t turn music off, and more than one track of music plays twice simultaneously.

Ever since Release 1.16 or earlier, Minecraft is extremely in your face, dirty, and full of pulsing graphics and horrible noises like those overly quiet furnace smelting cracks and the stupid notification “toaster graphics” that come out when you pick up an item you haven’t obtained before.

I am speaking from personal experience as somebody with Autism and sensory issues. I actually can’t play Minecraft 1.18. Modern Minecraft wants me dead with all the shit it does when I try to seriously play it in singleplayer and actually get into it. The crafting notifications aggravate my conditions. The stupid furnace sounds that can’t decide whether they want to be heard or completely silent aggravate my conditions. The food sounds - which are actually bad for another reason, which I need to save for a greater discussion, for another time - also aggravate my conditions. The music in the main menu is loud and irrepressibly constant and aggravates my conditions.

I can not stress enough how bad the latest Minecraft is for me and possibly other people who have sensory issues. If you think it’s not a big deal, it’ll be because I haven’t articulated it enough or because it’s too hard to convey. But it’s there.

This is the real main reason I don’t try setting myself up in a survival world with modern Minecraft anymore. Not the hunger bar, not the hatred of new features, not being “trapped in nostalgia”, as some people say (fuck off), not Phantoms, not the ugly textures, not the condescending way Mojang treats people who believe there are problems with the game, not the stupid furnace minecarts that don’t work anymore, not the depressingly over-estimated terrain they recently added, not the destruction of balancing, not the fact that I’ll never find a good community on a Discord server again (which is due to other sensory issue abuse design problems), not the fact that Creepers blow up whenever the fuck they want now (oh you’re not 7 blocks away yet? BOOM!), not the pillagers and other villager stuff that gets in your face when you’re just trying to vibe with the world, not the badly-presented portal transition loading screens, not the neutering and removal of convenient “Customized” world presets, not the Piglins retcon, not anything else about the version of the game that I think is bad.

It’s the sensory issues. Plain straight sensory issues are the biggest thing by far stopping me from having a look at playing Minecraft 1.18. I honestly think that one day it could have been fun to come back to the game just to see how much it’s changed, like a Big Green Dub sort of thing, laughing at how bad I personally believe - just in my own high-standards purist opinion - some of the stuff in the game is. I could actually jam to that, potentially. I could have played the game for two hours and been like “Yeah, that was pretty silly and I’m going to stop now, but that was interesting in a weird way at least.”

But I’m not going to do it if the game brutally assaults my eyes and ears.
