#the uke is the only instrument she knows how to play bc she has short fingers djkfns

[erigold13261]

Random HCs for the rosebots ship; when they’re older they both “retire” in the middle of nowhere, away from the big city, but said house has a lot of technological advances and instruments -they are child free for obvious reasons -Peni is a great singer, Yinu isn’t -Mama loves Peni, and considers kits to be her second child -Maybe Yinu starts to use neopronouns bc kit/kits was too cute -Yinu switched to being vegetarian in solidarity with Peni (she never liked the texture of meat)

Oh I like that last point a lot. Though it would actually be more likely for Yinu to become vegan at that point because she is very lactose intolerant so she already avoids animal milk. I can see Peni also going just full vegan in solidarity with Yinu. Sure they could be vegetarians and eat things like eggs, but I feel like they would just become vegans in the end (maybe sometimes eating vegetarian meals without lactose but with some animal products, but that is a rarity).

I wonder who truly wanted to go to the middle of nowhere out of the two. Like they both definitely did, but I can see Yinu not wanting to say anything because she is so used to the city, or at least being very close to the city, that she wasn't really ready to address the fact she might want to leave it all behind.

That would leave Peni to be the one to suggest it. I do think Peni loves the city a lot, having grown up in an entirely different city, living in Nueva York and the city around that place, and then finally living in Vinyl City for a while (possibly even living in a city in the UK for a bit), but finally wanted to see how it was to be in nature.

Definitely think Peni and Yinu move to Mexico for a short time where Mama took over Esther's farm land once she passed (it's definitely not as big as it was when Mama was a child, but still very full of nature). It would just to give Peni the taste of nature to make sure kit would actually want to live there, and that brings up old childhood memories for Yinu and both decide they definitely want to live in the middle of nowhere and have their own little garden and stuff (cottagecore life for the win lol)

Like you said, a lot of instruments are definitely there. Someone driving down the long road can sometimes hear the loud sounds of beautiful music being played (I doubt Peni's voice could be heard from very far away unless she is purposely projecting).

I also love the idea that Yinu can't sing lol. I never thought of that before and now all I can think about is 1010 always trying to teach Yinu to sing but failing at it (well Yinu sings happily, just not well lol) and then Peni comes along and sings with 1010 (maybe this is a bump in their friendship at the time as Yinu feels like shit for not being as good as Peni who never had any proper singing lessons unlike Yinu). Thankfully now, Peni and Yinu sing together for fun and will sometimes reminisce on the fact Yinu got jealous of Peni's voice when they were younger only for Yinu to fall in love with it.

You have no idea how happy Peni would be to hear kit is seen like a second daughter to Mama. I personally think Peni's mom became infertile after having Peni and had really bad PPD. It really hurt their relationship and kits mom could never truly love Peni in the way that kit needed (I don't know if kits mom died or left, but either way she left Peni's life pretty early but not early enough for the damage to not be done). So hearing Mama say kit is another child for her to love just breaks her heart in a good way.

The same could be said for Mama, who always wanted a big family, but wasn't able to have that because of Papa's health. 1010 (especially Carna and Maragold) kinda filled in that hole a little, but not in the same way as Peni did since Peni became more a part of Mama's family than Carna and Maragold did (she still loves those two, but over time the kind of familial relationship went away, especially if Neon and her just remained solely as friends. It would be a slightly different story if her and Neon got together).

I kinda like the idea that Yinu plays around with the idea of neopronouns for a bit, but doesn't stick with them. I just really prefer Yinu with she/he/they pronouns (which I realized I haven't used he/they for Yinu in this one all that much, whoops, forgot lol). But if Yinu did, what neopronouns do you (or anyone) think Yinu would use? I doubt they would go with any like plant-based ones like rose/roseself or music-based ones. I kinda see Yinu using like a more random one not related to anything associated with them. It would be kind of like wanting a disconnect from their old self they can use to connect with a new version of themself.

I know that's hard to explain/understand but Yinu just needs a new break that is separate from what he had been doing for all of his childhood and teen years. A fresh start, and maybe neopronouns are how he gets that. Maybe he does end up using some neopronouns and Peni is the one who encouraged it because kit could see Yinu needed something to break him out of the monotony of life that was slowly starting to get to Yinu.

Anyway! I think these headcanons are really nice and I honestly really like them all a lot. These two really do just need to get away from everything and have some peace of mind and happiness.

get to know me

tagged by @vishcount (thank you!!) and i'll follow her format bc making two posts seems a little much - i'm not that interesting!!

(hilariously, this post shows up as blocked for me bc of the tag 'joker' which? tumblr?????)

Part I

name: i'm an internet old, so i never use my real name online, mainly because it's spelled in a very unique way (thanks mom & dad) - i mean like, if you googled it you could find my home address in a few seconds kind of unique - but also, though i do enjoy the spelling, i actually don't like it very much when it's said out loud? (is it weird that my name written down is 'me', but my name aloud has never felt like 'me'?) always wanted a nickname but never acquired one :/

at any rate, i've had the username xcziel forever and i go by that 😊 (pronounced ex-SEE-zee-el, similar to etc. or ex-SET-er-ah! thanks @xia-xueyi for pointing out that it can be confusing to guess!)

rest behind a cut because it got long!

pronouns: she/her

star sign: i don't ... really *do* astrology? but technically saggitarius

height: 5'4" (162.5cm for the intl folks)

time: 5:43pm but these thing take me forever to type out so ... ???

birthday: playing the 'internet old' card again .. but it floats around american Thanksgiving depending on the year

nationality: american

fave bands/groups/solo artists: lumping these together because i just .. don't really do music much anymore. if you had asked me this back in my 20s i'm sure i would have had all kinds of opinions and things to share, but these days i actually mostly prefer to listen music from when i was a kid. part of it is also that as an old, i prefer to buy my music, even digitally, and i don't really use spotify - which does so much to enable diverse music exploration i admit! but i mostly have earplugs in all the time and music does not work for me as background noise, so...

so i guess my answer would be 70s disco and classic rock and 80s new wave artists? i've never liked any artist's entire discography and prefer greatest hits-type compilations, but i guess duran duran and def leppard and depeche mode would be considered formative? i love new order but specifically late 80s new order, NOT joy division. the only concert t-shirt i've ever worn was the cult? i loved sonic temple but i can't listen to most of it anymore though i still adore love removal machine. i think maybe if you get old enough, for some of us there's TOO MUCH good music and we can't pare it down anymore

song stuck in your head: jamiroquai's canned heat

last movie you watched: re: the above, i re-watched center stage, the 2000 one with zoe saldana and the mandy moore soundtrack, bc it's a happy comfort movie and i just got a digital version

last show you binged: i can't really "binge" very often bc after a couple of hours i need a break, so i guess i'd say the tgcf donghua on netflix since it was short enough to get through all in one go

when you created your blog: in 2012 i stopped lurking so i could post about the avengers movie

the last thing you googled: 5'4" in cm? lol before that it was chinese wrapped street food

other blogs: everything is here! i discovered i compartmentalize about as well as i tag reliably (😓) but i do have several automated ao3feed-tag style sideblogs. and i did, very briefly, have a *winces* hockey sideblog too

why i chose my url: ooh i know i've done this before, sorry if it's repetitive, basically it was the username i picked back when my family first got aol: short, unique combo of letters - 14-year-old me really thought about it! and then it wouldn't let me use anything other than my name. thirty-some-odd years later, trying to come up with a livejournal username that wasn't already taken and getting fed up, i plugged it in and went: good enough!

how many people are you following: like 760-something last i checked? although many, many, many of them are deactivated

how many followers do you have: idk i don't like looking at that stuff, but way fewer than i am following

average hours of sleep: it varies too much day by day, my sleep schedule is too wonky, i have no idea what the average would be

lucky numbers: 7? cliché i know, and again not really buying into it, but somewhere in my hindbrain i like it that my first, middle, and last names all have seven letters

instruments: none. i like singing

what i'm currently wearing: giant black t-shirt and baggy black drawstring shorts, standard sitting around the house gear

dream job: don't have one. if i did it would give me something to be working towards *sigh* this is how you end up in retail for decades, kids! but also, to quote a random post i saw in true tumblr fashion "i simply do not dream of labor"

dream trip: covered this one before but: back to the uk and some railway daytrips, or a really fancy northern cruise, atlantic/pacific either one

fave food: uhhh, don't really have a favorite but i'm almost always in the mood for pizza

top three fictional universe you'd like to live in: none really, if i had to still be me..maybe some kind of actually utopian future? but the pandemic has confirmed for me that i do NOT like living in interesting times, so most fictional story universes are RIGHT out. my favorites to read about like discworld or diana wynne jones' worlds would be way to chaotic for my comfort. possibly diane duane's young wizards universe would be safe enough to be okay?

Part II

last song: watching center stage made me think of my dance playlist so sunrise by simply red

last movielast stream: i don't watch streams or youtube often, so it was the same as you, vish! liu chang's birthday stream was SO enjoyable i screenrecorded the entire thing just so i could play it back (and maybe gif sometime if i ever get the drive to actually do it)

currently reading: well i just finished the translated quan qiu gao kao or global university entrance exam novel, which was sparked purely from catching a single rec post here on tumblr and basically just *falling* into this 166 chapter epic that is *amazing* and not coming up for air until i got to the end, which is typical novel-reading behavior for me (yes i was the kid who read through lunch period and got hassled by people who kept pestering me with "what're you reading" questions and yes i realize probably a lot of you on tumblr were too) plus, the new murderbot novel is out tomorrow!!!!! so that'll be where i end up next!

currently watching: the entire dmbj verse (that i can get my hands on) but ... sporadically and stopping at random different parts because the thing is ... this type of show is not really the kind i enjoy so much? so since it's more for "research" and learning character arcs (and let's be honest: shots of liu sang), etc. it's easy to get distracted by other stuff. i'm also watching the sleuth of the ming dynasty, mr queen, bromance, the expanse, re-watching farscape and stargate sg-1, just finished the falcon and the winter soldier, and then anytime something new and short gets introduced it jumps the queue. there are just. so. many. things. to. watch! (now i have to look into anti-fraud league too!? you all are cruel ...)

what is antipoetry to you: i ... don't really think much about poetry? i know what i prefer is usually the more basic rhymed kind like lewis carroll, emily dickinson, poe, coleridge, etc. so i suppose i don't have much use for classifying non-rhyming verse? i can appreciate stuff like rupi kaur which i guess would qualify? or that william carlos williams plums poem? but it doesn't really stick with me the way lyric-like verse does

currently craving: i never know what exactly this is meant to be in reference to ... hmmm, i would love a new high-concept, high production-quality movie like say, pacific rim, to be released, just for that massive, excited energy that comes with something new that hasn't already got tons of disappointing or conflicting history behind it - that would be so fun!!

other than that, right now, i mostly kinda want some fried fish? but that will have to wait until i go to get my second vaccine shot on wednesday since it's on the way there. i'd also like my internal body parts to settle down and fly right but it's been more than a month and they don't seem inclined :(((( maybe once i'm fully vaxxed i'll think about consulting somebody about it

[faeparrish]

answer 21 questions and tag 21 mutuals you would like to get to know better! (thank you @psychicadam for tagging me💘) 

nicknames: molly isn’t a long name so I don't really have any nicknames apart from moll

zodiac sign: sagittarius w/ moon & rising both in libra ♐♎

height: 5′3″ just call me BLUE SARGENT because I am SMALL

hogwarts house: in my heart of hearts I'm a hufflepuff, but I was so desperate to be a gryffindor when I read the books and now I'm too deep in gryffindor merch from birthdays and christmases to back out.

last thing i googled: 'silence of the girls cover artist’ - I recognised sarah young’s art on the cover of the book that I just bought so I was looking it up (you should check out her work - although make sure you type 'sarah young illustration'  bc I just now found out that she in fact shares her name with a porn star lmao😬)

favourite musicians: oh god, so many. jacob collier (aka the most infuriatingly talented musician alive, he's only like 24, he’s won 2 grammies, he got recognition from quincy jones and now they're friends ?? and he’s currently working on a 4 part album of about 40 songs; volume 1 was released around christmas and he’s planning to release the last one by the end of this year... anyway he’s unbelievable and I love him), julia jacklin, glass animals, billie marten, hozier, tom misch, joy crookes, ELIZA, vulfpeck, nick mulvey, hope tala, jade bird, rusty clanton (fun fact, I actually bumped into him after his support set for jade bird and he was SO lovely). also dodie has been a fave of mine since I was like 14 and she probably always will be tbh. girl is just the sun ☀️

song stuck in your head: moontime by hope tala (not complaining tho bc that song is a Gay Bop)

following: 413 (I had to go through recently and unfollow all the old jily/marauders blogs that haven't been active for years rip there are so many)

followers: 489 and ily ALL ♥️

do you get asks: sometimes! I get a few cute lil anons here and there

amount of sleep: I have insomniaaa, like my boy gansey so I only get like 4-6 hours a night. I just always get a sudden boost of chaotic creative energy in the evenings and my brain is like !!! make something !! write something !! draw something !! anything!! do it all !! maybe I should start building a miniature version of my town too lol 

lucky number: hmm my birthday is 13th dec (same day as ts) so I like to think that the number makes an exception from being unlucky for people who are born on the 13th

what you’re wearing: leggings, my fav shorts (they’re so cool, they're like a kind of mossy green tie-dye with some funky black patterns stamped onto them. 10/10 makes me feel like a forest elf) and a yellow crop top vest thing. also a couple of rings and some necklaces that I wear basically every day. also socks that have confetti patterns on them. party socks

dream job: anything creative!! writing, art, music, whatever tbh. in an ideal life I would love to be a musician because the idea of going on a tour with other musician friends just sounds like such a dream to me and I love making music stuff (I actually posted a cover on here if you wanna listen) ALSO lowkey want to open a cafe w/ my sister one day; have events in the evenings, homemade cakes, get our musical friends to do gigs? mayhaps a resident cat??? yes pls

dream trip: I applied for an exchange with my uni to study in norway next year, which would be amazing (and terrifying) if I got accepted !!

instrument: I played the violin (very very badly) for about 2 years, and the oboe (for about a year until my teacher moved away - turns out there aren't a whole lot of oboe teachers out there) and I had piano lessons when I was a kid for about 7 years, but i can't remember how to properly read the music now:( I can still play piano but I mostly just figure out how to play songs by listening to them a lot. I prefer playing guitar and ukulele though, they're the ones that I picked up myself so I feel a lot more committed to them 

languages: english is my only fluent language, bc our education system doesn’t bother to teach languages as well as other countries do (am I bitter about it? absolutely), but I can just about get by in french and spanish, and I've been slowly teaching myself norwegian on duolingo for about 5 months now (honestly bless that app)

favourite songs: again, so many. my current faves: mice by billie marten (her new ep is so crushingly gorgeous), guiltless by dodie (the music video?? the music video????), here comes the sun by jacob collier & dodie (god this cover is endlessly, endlessly beautiful?? the drum and guitar strums at 0.58 just GET👏ME👏GOING👏), she is the sum by poppy ajudha, in your hands by nick mulvey (has some BIG gangsey in trk vibes), moon river by jacob collier (this literally came out the other day and ohhohooo boy !! the harmonies that kick in at 5.19 give me mad goosebumps)

random fact: when I was 16 I had appendicitis and nearly died bc I thought the pains were just rlly bad cramps lmao (is this ?? #toomuch? 😬✨??) ANYWAY now i don't have an appendix BUT I do have three funky lil scars and a rlly big appreciation for the nhs (the uk is shit at most things but free healthcare is truly a godsend)

aesthetic: witchy, kinda feral lol, artsy, anything nature related, anything autumnal?? I love that dark academia, secret history kind of aesthetic but I can’t really pull it off bc my style is a bit too hectic - basically just think blue sargent but softer and probs more gay lmao 🤠👌

I'm tagging @lesbianparrish @adamparrishes & @motorcyclebabeparrish as well lol, also @parrishynch @lvslie @flourishandblotted @cloudpillows @justlarajean @heart-ablaze @tinylilemrys @acquaclara @cbliviate @iuliasabina @heyilan @ofstagsanddoes @nellyinneverland @wtf-jily (a lot of my mutuals aren’t active anymore so it’s hard to see if I've forgotten anyone, but if I have forgotten you I'm sorry !! ily!! you are also tagged 💕✨)

[foxcassius]

okay y’all, opinions on love by chance vs uwma, scroll past if u dont give a fuck

uwma is the 4th thai drama i’ve ever seen, love by chance was the first, and these are the only two that really really stick out to me. the other two, 2moons and sotus, were good and i liked them, but this post isn’t abt them bc today i’m talking about my, current, favorites. editing to say that i should mention for anyone reading who’s unaware that lbc and uwma are also made by the same studio and share a director, so comparing them makes more sense than comparing shows made by different studios and people.

uwma embodies my favorite trope, and no it is not necessarily the soulmate trope. while soulmates does, as a trope, usually embody the aspects of my favorite trope, my all-time favorite bl, sekaiichi hatsukoi, wouldnt fall under soulmates, and sekaiichi is where my favorite trope comes from, it was the first thing i ever watched that has this trope. my favorite trope is people who once knew or dated each other reconnecting years and years later, sometimes in a different life counts if they have memories from the past life, and ultimately everything works out the second time around. idk why it’s my favorite trope, i just know i went hard to some sekaiichi in 2012, and ever since anything that reminds me of sekaiichi even a little gets a big fucking thumbs up.

because uwma has this, it has obviously stuck out to me. i also really enjoy the main couple—even more, to be honest, than i enjoyed ae and pete in lbc. i also absolutely ADORE the soundtrack, the instrumental background music is very very good, though i don’t think any theme song will ever trump the lbc theme for me bc that shit just. goes too hard. i also feel like the acting in uwma is very very good. dare i say? better than lbc. which honestly may just come with more experience from the director and studio, but seeing as the actors are not the same, it’s hard to tell what the cause is. but the crying scenes in uwma are almost bearable, whereas seeing a person cry in lbc always made me like. idk, uncomfortable?? which might have been the point idk but if it was purposeful then that was a bold move. there has also been so much improvement when it comes to the camera shots. lbc wasnt bad, but the shots weren’t really artistic or daring imo. uwma has so so so many shots that are just LOVELY to me. particularly, the first one that comes to mind is the shot of sin on the phone with dean when dean is asking him to look for info on korn and intouch. the purples? the oranges? the perfect balance of shadow? and jesus fucking CHRIST don’t even get me STARTED on the chasxter design for sin, so absolutely fucking *chef’s kiss* where’s the spinoff about sin and sorn i need it fr does it already exist i know nothing about thai dramas.

okay well since i started now i have to go off about the character designs and casting choices. idk the names of these actors well bc i’m not following any of them on social media (yet) but the actor they cast for pharm is fucking phenomenal. he pulls of those awkward smiles and cringes so much better and more convincingly than i’ve seen other actors do with his character type. i love that he like genuinely seems like he could be a college freshman (but don’t even talk to me about how dean looks 30) lots of shows, like 2moons, seem to be “what college freshmen think their life is like while they’re in the middle of it” and others, like lbc and uwma, are like “what college freshmen actually look and act like, you weirdos.” of course, i would, can, and will die for sammy melanie coates, she’s officially my favorite actress in the thai drama world and i didnt even know she was in uwma but when it started up and it was eyes on manaow i almost died!!!!!!!! i love her she’s an amazing actress. and it was super fun to catch glimpses of actors i do know from lbc in secondary and tertiary roles in uwma, tho i’m sad that mean gets typecast as “other guy” so much bc i genuinely love him. and finally, the character design for sin can just strike me down where i fuckin stand, talk about callout post for me in the middle of this thai drama i’m just. i love it.

this is a side note, but i also like that pharm is on the less waifish side. bl is terrible about the set DYNAMIC of big seme willowy uke, even lbc had me like :/ with saint playing pete and playing him In Such A Way like idk i know that plenty of gay people ARE effeminate and all but i do very much enjoy castings, specifically in bl dramas which have such a track record, that break that stereotype.

i don’t think it’s over yet, which i didn’t know when i started it, but the most recent episode was posted like 2 days ago so i hold hope for another episode or two. if not that, it clearly needs another season. seeing as how it is definitely not over, i can’t judge for sure what my overall impression of the series as a whole will be. however, as it stands, i don’t think uwma makes me doki as hard as lbc, and this is 10000% bc of tin and can.

what can i say bro? tincan is one of my favorite couples from anything ever. there is something so fucking good and entertaining about their dynamic, and the way the characters grow and their emotions develop is so so good to me, and the scene where can turns tin down For Real at the end of season 1 absolutely blows me away every time, i cry irl bro!! there is something ABOUT tin and can, something about the actors, something about the way theyre played that i can’t get over. when i think about lbc and i Die, it’s not dying over ae and pete, even though i like them very much. it’s dying over tin and can. i literally can’t think of how to put my opinions on this into words, they just genuinely affected me. they’re a gem in the dumpster fire that is bl.

so anyway, long story short i think uwma is overall? a better series. but lbc owns my ass specifically bc of tincan.

hello!!! my name’s maline (she/her), i’m in the gmt-3 timezone and this is my lil baby nikora aka nick aka thE biggest goof on the planet. here you can find a few of his stats, this tag here is for a bit of muse posting aND under the readmore (and the most nick gif ever) im gonna write a lil bit more of info and headcanons so we can get this goin!!! pls pls don’t hesitate to message me so we can plot or just like this post and i will make sure to send u some virtual smooches :~)

sO guys this is nick. he’s from nz but has been living in ny for eight years now. his dad travels a lot for work so he’s lived in a few other countries before the us, but ny is just his favorite which was why he choose to stick around even after his family moved yet again to italy when his dad was relocated. he was done with high school and he got into juilliard (composition) so it just made sense to stay plUS living with his mates was just great. machanics was always something he was always good at, something he bonded over w his dad, so the job at the car shop fits okay and, more importantly, pays the bills. every once in a while he gets a gig or two and plays in little cafes, bars or restaurants. sometimes he plays his own music or covers but there’s nothing he could do that would bring him the rush that performing does. it’s just it for him, even though he doesn’t quite understand why people actually pay him to do it and would actually argue if u try to tell him he’s good at it -- in his mind, he doesn’t sing that good or has a good way w words but he just feels so full when singing and playing and that’s why he does it

so yeah music is just this dude’s life. like his brain is so musical that he hums to a new song every other second because of a word u said when talking to him. he plays a few instruments but $ is short so he just owns a guitar, an acoustic, an uke and a v old keyboard. so if you’re his roommate, if u don’t like his jams u might have to bang on his door at like 3am bc he can’t sleep and he’s making a tune lmao but honestly? he walks around in only boxers way too much for his roommates’ sake, apparently owns 3 shirts by the amount of time he spends without them, makes bad puns 24/7 and he’s That person that looks cute 24/7 bUT will fight u on this saying he looks like trash. zero self-esteem and i wanna cry because of this..... he’s a very sensitive and empathetic person, very passionate and sUch an idiot when it comes to talking about the things he likes. he’s into sports and comics bUt when we’re talking about music, don’t expect him to shut up. he’s legit the playlist making friend. 

but over all, nick’s just a simple ol guy tryna make it in the big apple. maybe write songs for big people one day? bc he’s too scared to dream of being a big person himself— too worried he’ll just disappoint himself. and his friends and family who no doubt would cheer him on. so he’s just like — livin like he doesn’t expect anything. which is a trait he picked up from all the moving around, he just adapts very well and accepts whatever the universe throws at his face. aLso, because he’s an only kid he def sees the gang as his family, so he’s v v protective when it comes to them. he’s definitely that one friend who’s textin to see if they made it back home from the party or meeting their significant others like “what are your intentions with my angel, my dude?” w a serious face he can’t keep for too long. he’s legit that one person that you never see angry. like, it takes a LOT to get him worked up but once he does, its too much. the gang has probably seen him like that two or three times and once was when one of his friends (a possible plot here?? if you’re interested pls hmu) was hanging out and they got abused by a creepy dude or maybe even hurt w a push because of their sexuality or something like that and nick went off kicking and punching the man p brutally, and before the police got there somebody grabbed him and drove him somewhere. so to this day he doesn’t know what happened to the man he attacked, and it’s just another thing for him to go over and over on his mind and not talk about it

because he freaking can’t. like, this boy......... his comunication skills are like... zero. worse than that, even. he’s a great listener and he knows he probably should tell somebody how he feels about shit that happens but it’s not lack of trying. he just can’t find the words and doesn’t really know how to express himself if it’s not with a pen on hand and across a white paper. that sounded so cliche damn im laughing. but that’s it basically !!!

i’ll make sure to finish up a nice biography and post it here when i do so everyonce can read it :~) pls pls pls let’s talk and plot because nick can be social aF when he wants to and he probably loves ur muse way too damn much.
