#these are based on the song i know and also just general vibes ngl

[wolfythewitch]

Odysseus - Florence + the machine (how big, how blue, how beautiful)

Helen - mitski

Achilles - the amazing devil (horror and the wild)

Paris - the oh hellos (through the deep, dark, valley)

Hector - the amazing devil (Ruin)

Penelope - crane wives (coyote stories)

Aeneas - The Oh Hellos (Dear Wormwood) OR Lord Huron (Strange Trails)

Clytemnestra - crane wives (foxlore)

Diomedes - Fish in a Birdcage (Man-O-War)

Gonna list some iliad characters and the bands/albums I associate them with to distract myself

[the-uninformed-zennial]

sooo bound band au when

Who said it was gonna be an au

Honestly though, most of the bound characters are giving me orchestra energy, so I feel like a Band AU would be like… a band kid AU if yk what I mean. Like, everyone would be in high school with braces and hormones and trying to find a course to fill their art requirement that wouldn’t absolutely bore them. Yk?

So that being said, here’s the instruments I’d think each Bound character would play and why;

Armor - Vocals <redacted>

Ashril - Funky Roadrunner guy is giving me either some random instrument no one has ever heard of before or keyboard and there is no in between for me personally.

Avalon - Drums. I know I always give the stabby people percussion instruments, but they’re just really good for helping to work out negative emotions okay??

Cosie - flute

Elwood - Canon Elwood would not learn an instrument unless Mojave somehow gaslit him into thinking it would be useful. So fanon Elwood would know piano, cause it’s a classical instrument so it fits the vibes and it’s also one of the most versatile so I think we wouldn’t have to bend Elwood’s character too much to make it fit.

Erin - Erin gives me cello vibes. I feel like the Avicane in general ooze kinda classical instruments, and Erin feels like someone who would want something like a bass but a little lighter and more based on melody. So Cello.

Gaverin - Singer. That bird gives me lead singer vibes so hard. If she isn’t in the front of the stage strutting his newest designs and singing their little heart out like a bird version of Chappel Roan, what exactly are they doing?

Marcel - Viola. It’s just- mmmm. Slightly deeper violin that fits the human range really well… it just screams Marcel to me idk.

Mojave - lead singer/rhythm guitar/songwriter. This is just canon lol

Pietro - Percussion. Not drums like Ava, but specifically like orchestral percussion. I’m talking everything from the huge bass drums to the triangle. I think while Virgil was learning violin Pietro signed up for orchestra too and the director was just like, “here kid, hit this” and Pietro went wild. They’re probably the best percussionist anyone’s seen in a really long time, but she doesn’t really talk about it/show off that much cause they want Virgil to be able to shine. (Guys I’m normal about the birdthers I swear)

Rune - I feel like Rune’s a guitar guy. Like, their vibes are chill and laid back enough to fit it, plus I feel like they’d have a really fun time inventing like pedals and stuff to make the guitar sound different depending on the song and stuff.

Sylph - Triangle. And Kazoo. And singing (badly) /lh

Taliesin - Okay, okay, my thought for Taliesin is that whenever someone asks if they play an instrument they always say something that like no one knows how to play, like Basoon or the Oboe. And then if someone ever asks her to, he’s just like “oh no, sorry, the stars aren’t in the right alignment you see”. And it’s cause they don’t actually know how to play any instruments cause they’re a lyin’ cheatin’ little— anyway (/j we love Tal in this house and they probably play something that’s totally against their aesthetic but easy to learn like Uke or smth)

Vast - Vast plays Clarinet. It’s classic, it’s breathy, it’s something the symphony I mean Avicane would teach. It just feels and sounds right for him. Bonus idea: his sister played the flute and he picked up Clarinet cause he wanted to be in the same section as her

Virgil - Violin. Again, this is just canon. But I feel like Virgil wouldn’t be like the best violinist ngl. In my head he’s like 3rd chair but Pietro always comes up to him after concerts and is like “THATS MY BROTHER!!” And like glares at people until they applaud for him. Virgil knows this. And is incredibly embarrassed by the whole thing, but it’s still kinda endearing.

So yeah, those are my instrument/Band AU thoughts. Do with them what you will

[oceanwithinsblog]

after a few months, here i am again with the next poll !! as some of you may know, after knowing the band for so long, i'm currently digging in tøp lore and generally listening on loop to their discography ... SO

in terms of tracklist, lyrics, visuals, lore, live shows, content etc.

i'm keeping the poll open for a whole week, feel free to vote, share and repost! if u also want to point out something specific you like about any tøp project/era, or if u want to share your top tøp songs, i'm all ears!

as for me, i think my favorite album is clancy now <3 trench and vessel are VERY strong contestants (blurryface a bit too), but i guess i'm just so happily satisfied with clancy both sound- and visual-wise that i'll make it first place. all of these positive vibes i'm getting from the release truly caught me off guard ��ㅠ

besides, i can easily relato to MANY many lyrics (tbh that's always a guarantee when it comes to tøp songs), but this time it truly seems as if if they wrote them based on what i'm going through right now... this album feels super special and personal ngl !! (not to mention, this is also the era i got deep into the storyline and its characters); i know clancy has just dropped - and there's more on the way - but i'm super excited about this album/era !! it will also be the first time i'll see tøp live in concert ㅠㅠ

to be 100% frank, it hurts a bit to dethrone trench as my fav album/era ... maybe after this whole wave of excitement and enthusiasm remodels, i'll reconsider the question on this poll ... at the end of the day, i think both trench and clancy will possibly share the #1 spot of my tøp album rankings

well, let me know about you!! <3

[btw i don't know many tøp fans/clikkes (?) but i'd love to get to know the fandom a bit more :D also, if u have any lore related theories please fill me in !!! i'm totally invested eheh]

[ecklekecle]

when i listen to music i like to associate the songs (like the lyrics) to people/characters/times of my life (i also like to make lists), so here are some songs that lowkey remind me of Evan (probably specifically Adagio evan, (im sorry for making everything about adagio evan 😔)) and just like rosekiller in general idk. through it all - Sombr - honestly i think this reminds me more of barty (idk why) i think i might've just listened to this soo many times when I was reading Adagio

would've been you - Sombr - i think this is definitely Adagio Evan, for reasons i dont want to talk about. i heard this song before reading adagio, then after reading adagio, i was like, this song is so evan (to barty) skdjkjsdfhjk

Distractions - Wild Painting - this song, i think i've just subconsciously associated this song to rosekiller angst. Not even based on the lyrics or anything just on the vibe of the song, but i guess some of the lyrics work too

letting you in - awfultune - adagio barty... (after evan.. yk) (no cause the way this song actually makes me sad like what??? i dont even know what im doing with my life anymore sjfhkjdsf makes my heart feel heavy)

Paint -The Paper Kites - a little off track but with rosekiller there's also Regulus (and with regulus comes sirius) and this lowkey reminds me of them like i think some of the lyrics work with the Black brothers like: 'this house has never felt the same as before, it's never felt warm, never felt warm' and also 'I had to go back, had to go back' (works with regulus going voldemort i guess and sirius going to the potters idk) AND ALSO 'maybe we marry and we work out fine (with regulus or sirius comes James, this could work with jegulus).

Little Lion Man - Mumford & Sons - again not rosekiller but I saw a tiktok saying this song and I Will Wait by Mumford & Sons is Jegulus like band au maybe i cant really remember and like they have a little situationship thingo and write each other one these songs.. something like that? I've just been thikning about it since. I cant remember which song is who tho

Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol - is ' if i lay here, if i just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world' not rosekiller?? i heard this for the first time at work and i was like, huh, this could be so rosekiller and ngl i think it is

Sleeping Patterns - Merchant Ships - I know i said this list is based off rosekiller but this song i just feel like would've been something regulus would listen to, he seems like the type of guy who would write something like this too tbh (ik it's about 9/11 but the vibes and some of the wording i feel fits into like the vibes ig idk) i dont think this is even al the songs i've associated with these fictional characters but it's what i've got so far yippee i think i could've gone so much more in depth with lyrics and things but i didn't want this to be too long so i didnt but i just have so much to talk about i think

[pyrrhocorax]

my current hetalia wildlife/natural resources au thoughts i have from your resident wildlife biologist: sweden: i have lots of ideas for him but the idea of him being an entomologist is interesting b/c the contrast of "big scary giant guy, but he studies tiny butterflies" is really fun to me. he has a very entomologist personality to me too based on all the entomologists i know so lepidopterist is my current thought. finland: forester. all foresters i know are unhinged in the same exact way he is unhinged. potentially also a fire ecologist?? i think that would be interesting (give me an excuse to learn about fire ecology more) and i think he would enjoy using a flamethrower. iceland: thinking geologist, prob volcanologist? or he studies auks. norway: less sure of him. thinking mainly about fisheries (not sure if marine or freshwater, both are interesting), mycology, lichenology (this is the main one i am thinking about rn), oceanography, or mountain stream hydrology (yes that is a thing) for him. denmark: having the most trouble with him honestly. maybe meteorology, geography (GIS dude??), soil biology?? maybe even human dimensions (i can see him being a good intermediary between the public and natural resources, like park ranger-esque)?? idk if extension agents exist in europe but he'd be good at that i think. estonia: songbird biologist. bander (or ringer you're european). potentially studying migration trends? breeding output of at-risk species? potentially lab mates with austria b/c sharing same field site. he's uncannily good at mimicking bird calls. lithuania: large carnivore biologist that studies in canids (i.e. wolves), mainly does camera trapping but also darts/radio collars them. looking at habitat usage to hopefully boost populations??? latvia: shorebird/rail/stork biologist?? reminds me of a shorebird biologist i know and i think he'd vibe well with water/water adjacent bird work. i also think him studying beavers is fun because beavers are fun! and i think the riga beaver thing back in the day was hysterical lol OR i think him being an aquatic entomologist would be cool he could be a dragonfly guy austria: also a songbird biologist, but looking at vocalizations/song stuff, does a lot more lab work than field work analyzing vocalizations. maybe studying nocturnal vocalizations during migration of birds across different habitats??? potentially lab mates with estonia. america: ungulates. or maybe specifically cervids. respectfully, as an american, we are overly obsessed with deer. could also see him studying salamanders because they are a special kind of person too that fits the american personality well, and america is home to the most salamander diversity in the world so like. yeah. canada: ducks/loons/grebes, raptors (specifically thinking eagles/hawks), weasels (him being so understated but studying wolverines is funny to me), or fisheries? :/ could also see him being a habitat biologist in general, doing modeling stuff for wider scale land changes? i kind of want him to be a prairie conservationist too. england: botanist is my thought for now? he has a "plant research guy who is 3 years into his phd and kind of regretting his life choices" vibe to me. but he's also the world's crustiest birder outside of his work (b/c uk influenced a lot of the current world birding culture) germany: ngl environmental policy analyst seems up his alley and we need more of those who are good. romania: chiropterist. and before you are like "urg don't stereotype the vampire thing pyrr" it's not that. his personality is just very bat biologist. they are a special kind of people, and i say that with affection, as all the bat people i know are fantastic. specifically could see him being also an entomologist studying the interactions between bats/bugs on farmland to see how bat populations help crop production. still thinking on things though!!! welcome to my niche au.

February 2024 Monthly Music Recs

February/Near February Releases:

"Take Me" Cookiee Kawaii. If you've liked any of the soundtracks for Spiderverse, try this song. It's a new direction for CK and she's doing so well.

"Light(N)ing" Stap Sigh Boys. Don't know how to explain this--psychedelic and funky, a bit Daft Punk-y at times, and it's technically J-Rock but is completely English. Vocals are weird and FUN.

"Stick Up" Uniiqu3 & Black Caviar. Kinda has Missy Elliot vibes.

"Glitter" Suzy Sheer. Generic but good electronica. A pleasant filler track for any dance playlist, imo.

"Silence is Loud" & "Crowded Roomz" Nia Archives. Good UK drum and bass. Perfectly calibrated to be both emotionally resonant and just... fuck. These songs fuck.

Picking a song off his mini was hard but going off instinct, I'll highlight "Dangerous" by Ten, member of NCT/WayV/SuperM. The song is just good, it's accesible; it's an alcohol drink that goes down smooth, you know?

Similarly hard is choosing songs off of Club Shy! I LOVE "4eva" and "Thicc" by Shygirl + some great features. This is club music for the girls, for the gays, for anyone who wants to let loose.

While nowhere near as good as "Coloris" from my url, She has come out with a new song "Vector Break", if you like more electronic based video game music, give it a listen but if you don't like it STILL GIVE COLORIS A SHOT.

Dance music is the name of the game this month! "SMSOU" by Eliminate & Frost Children is just great dance music with some light hyperpop sensibilities and whimsy.

"The End of the Contender" Everything Everything. This is the most straightforward alt rock Everything Everything has gone for but it works and still brushes against melancholy in such a compelling way.

"Burn Alive" The Last Dinner Party. Dark with some edge. Maybe Kate Bushy (I don't listen to her, sorry). Kinda Florence-y. God, yeah, it's Florence-y.

"One Night/All Night" Justice & Tame Impala. It's Justice... and Tame Impala. Need I say more?

NGL, this is surprisingly... English? Which is surprising to me. In part because I've listened to this 90s Tai-pop song on repeat every single day. I also got back into Maximum the Hormone thanks to that tumblr post.

assorted thoughts on the two new doctor who episodes (spoilers below)

space babies

Weird concept but I think it worked. i dont think the token political allegory had a ton of depth but the stuff about stories is interesting enough i feel like i need to think abt it a little bit

my biggest issue is it feels like the doctor and ruby do a very jarring 180 on sparing the bogeyman at the end. like, i think in some ways it was predictable, but it happens so abruptly after they show zero concern for the bogeyman even knowing the truth of its origins I was super confused. like, i was just content to dismiss it as literally a pile of snot and not a living being.

ironically given the pro-choice vibes in the episode, this actually reminded me a little of kill the moon, where the episode doesn't spend any time actually fleshing out what the Bogeyman is, whether it has consciousness, its degree of sentience etc, the characters just decide killing is bad.

since this episode doesnt try to make a moral dilemma of it it feels less bad than kill the moon (altho I think unfair moral dilemma is a very deliberate choice on KtM's part to make you empathise w Clara aginst the Doctor) but I think it makes the 180 more baffling given the episode seems so uninterested in the Bogeyman as an actual being? if that makes sense?

the devil's chord

to be honest, while it was a fun watch at the time, this felt like an episode that ran out of ideas midway and the more I think about it the more I sour on it. at least scripting wise - i do think this was a very strong episode presentation wise!

Based on this and the Giggle I genuinely don't think RTD knows how to write godlike adversary; both these stories generally collapse into just 'godlike enemy hams it up and does goofy things while the doctor tries random stufff to save the day.' Like, as soon as Maestro turned up it felt as if the thread of narrative logic snapped and it just became a random events plot. And I felt the same with the Toymaker.

I think the issue is that these episodes overplay the power differential so much the Doctor doesn't have any kind of plan - but because these godlike entities like to toy w their victims it means neither the protagonist or antagonist are really driving the plot? i think the fact Maestro read as hammy rather than threatening also didn't help.

I also think these episodes don't set up clear enough rules. If you're going to have godlike aliens with gimmicks confronting the Doctor, the obvious appeal is that it's a story about manipulating the rules of the game to come out on top. It's like dealing with the Fey - or even Weeping Angels; the tension is in figuring out how to rules lawyer the godlike alien out of existence. But instead too much is made of the Doctor not knowing the rules and not attempting to discover the rules and it becomes boring. And if you take that aspect away what actually is the appeal of Doctor vs godlike alien?

They should have played devil went down to georgia during the music battle smh

The Beatles saving the day felt cheap, but it would have been incredibly cheap if they weren't real life people. Like can you imagine any other Doctor Who episode where one-off characters dismissed in the first 10 minutes save the day?

ngl while the ending song was fun and not lyrically terrible... it did feel like the lyrics were ironically the same kind of thing as the bad songs they were lampooning at the start of like, just perfunctorily rhyming random things together? idk. i guess it wasn't as pedestrian but i found it a bit funny

both

i feel like these episodes had a bit more of a return to a kind of procedural investigation format of Doctor Who - characters turn up to a new location and slowly have to piece together what's going on, the rules. which we also had previously in Wild Blue Yonder tbf, but i think it's interesting.

I like how there were moments where Ruby takes charge and says something a bit Doctorly - like when they enter the recording studio in devil's chord she says something like "Right, let's go!" and leads the way. It's a small touch but it just subtly chips away at the dynamic where the Doctor is always In Charge yknow?

Space Babies riffing on End of the World and Devil's Chord riffing on Pyramids of Mars for exposition scenes is perfectly justifiable (esp in the latter case given Pyramids of Mars is like 50 years old now), but I did definitely feel w those scenes that I'd seen it all before? Like, it's one thing to reuse a tropey scene because it's an efficient way of moving the story along, but I felt w both those scenes as soon as I knew what was going on I'd seen it all before. Nothing new. I could go to the toilet for a couple minutes

The magical realism is interesting (the handling of godlike beings aside) but i especially like the ideas of memories, songs hidden in Ruby's soul, and the snow appearing - that's very cool!

[daydreamerwonderkid]

hiiii I just went thru and reblogged like. a ton of your stuff because it's all great but I was wondering if you would share your batfam playlists/be willing to share some good batfam song recs? I'm always on the lookout for new batfam songs! (no worries if you don't want to!)

Oh dang wow glad to see you like my mess of a blog XD

And sorry for taking so long to reply! I actually made a Spotify account for this ask since all my playlists are on YouTube. No particular reason why, that's just where I mostly listen to music and find new songs.

Ngl the vast majority of the songs I have on my list are more ✨vibe✨ based than anything, if I have to be real. I tend to gravitate towards songs that could represent more than one particular member of the Batfam, too. Also, if a song somehow generates an imaginary AMV or movie credit sequence in my head, it's gonna get added to the playlist regardless of any actual relevance.

So, uh, yeah. Not sure how well put my playlist actually is, but I tried to organize it a little neater for you. If you wanna give a listen to it, here's the link. Let me know if you have any problems accessing it and I'll try to figure out how to fix it.

【Magi】 Judar doodle ❤️

Intro Rambles

This one turned out nice ^^ I like this one hehe. It looks similar to the other one I did but this one also has a nice vibe to it

I like both! I did the 2nd one last night.

Inchresting...

My sketching style is very recognizable so it's 100% my art style but I think it's interesting how things like the shape of the eyelashes, thickness of the eyelashes, underlashes, and how the eyes and rings in the eyes are drawn make my drawings give off a different vibe

Cuz I'm using the same art style for all of these doodles. I tend to draw the eyes of sharper tsurime-eyed meow meow mf charas the same way. I just do the details differently depending on the character

VRoid Studio and MMD Rambles

I don't think I mentioned it here yet but I wanna make VRoid models of my OCs and fave charas eventually so they can be used in MMD so I can make them dance to Vocaloid songs~ It's because I'm really interested in making my ships dance hehe

I want to make my OCs in VRoid one day 🙏 ✨ This includes my rehomed cat cots I treat as OCs and my faves. Would be super useful to have refs I can turn around and take from different angles! And it'd be super cute to see my faves dance omg

List of charas I want to make VRoid models for:

OCs:

Selena (KHR AU)

Linh (KHR AU)

Rehomed cat cots I treat as OCs:

Tatsumiya (WATGBS AU)

Idate (WATGBS AU)

Takama (WATGBS AU)

Meow meow mf faves:

Xanxus (KHR)

Judar (Magi)

Kuroha (KagePro)

Like this is the main list

Thankfully people already did my job for me with LimGuda and ObeGuda <3 So I don't need to make ones for Douman, Oberon, and Ritsuka

(Credit: Yutaka's Douman and Oberon MMD models)

FGO MMDs

But ngl guys I want to make my meow meow mf faves in VRoid too. Cuz I was just thinking I need my meow meow mfs too for my ship fuel. 🙏 🫶

Xanxus (KHR), Judar (Magi), Saeran (MysMes), Edward (ROTRK)

And the list goes on~

I'll start simple with my OCs though.

Who knows. It'll probably get me to start finishing art

Judar with my HC design tho cuz I ain't drawing that ugly ass racially stereotyped outfit he wears in canon 😭

I'm definitely not distributing my VRoid/MMD models publically though. My mutuals/friends are free to have access to any VRoid/MMD models I make in the future, though <3

I like to have my scans and art stuff under my control and limit access to my stuff, to make sure my things don't get used by unsavoury people, so that it doesn't get reposted around, etc.

Especially with how bad the MysMes fandom's reposting issues are.

And I hate Funa and her fanbase in general cuz they're uncritical af, etc., so there's no way in hell I'm sharing my WATGBS AU MMD models

VRoid Rambles

I watched a bunch of FGO MMD videos (of Douman, Oberon, and Morgan), and now I feel tempted to try my hand at making MMD models for my faves (Selena, Tatsumiya, Idate) in VRoid Studio…

I wanna make 3D models so I can make my faves dance in MMD Selena and IdaTatsu MMDs you will be real someday…

I'd use VRoid Studio because it provides bases for hair and clothing, and I don't feel like using Blender tbh

Also I watched a bunch of VRoid Studio model making tutorial videos, it's way easier than I thought. Most of it is honestly just drawing normally and using preset assets as a guide

Thank god FGO being so big and Douman and Oberon's huge popularity means that people will definitely make MMD models for them

People have already done my work for me (Bless you!)

JP fans have already made models of many FGO charas, so I can play around with them. I can make LimGuda and ObeGuda MMDs… It's common practice in the MMD community to credit all the assets you use: Models, Camera, Dance Motions, Stages, Lighting Effects, etc.

I saw JP users say they made 3D models of FGO charas (such as Douman and Oberon) with programs like VRoid Studio or Blender. So it's totally doable

It'd be kinda fun to try making MMD models for my FGO faves in the future too, but not now

Especially with how detailed their designs are (especially Douman's)

Imo Douman is way harder than Idate because of their hair and outfit

Cantarella MMDs

I wanna make 3D models one day so that I can convert them to MMD and get LimGuda, IdaTatsu, XanLena, JuAli, and KuroEne dancing to Cantarella and other Vocaloid songs... OH MY GODDD

Cantarella by Kurousa-P ft. KAITO & Hatsune Miku

Cantarella ~grace edition~

I'd have to use the OG Cantarella motions though, Idate, Judar, and Xanxus would not know shit how to play the violin LMFAO

Like for Douman and Kuroha, the violin part would actually still fit, like I could actually still see that for those two, but it just doesn't fit charas like Idate, Judar, and Xanxus

I personally prefer Cantarella fan covers (VOCALOID/UTAU and human fan-covers) over the original due to stronger tuning/mixing

But Cantarella's instrumentals are excellent

The original Cantarella MMD has a dance section. I love the little spin and jump in the air and landing on the ground, I think that fits my faves more

The remastered Cantarella ~grace edition~ has a violin playing part which is aesthetically nice

Sitting in the throne fits all of my meow meows tho

[roseposts-stuff]

hello folks!! i have been rating nuwho seasons and it has been a while so!!! it is time for series 5!! also deleted series 11 thoughts because 1. i want these to be in order 2. i want to rewatch the series as well before rating it 3. i disagreed with my own thoughts

just my personal extremely unprofessional opinions mostly based on Vibes, so feel free to disagree!! but now! series 5!

1. Vincent and the Doctor (5x10) - SO good, i love that they showed vincent that his works will be appreciated, that moment was so great. loved the general story, too, and how the "evil" creature wasn't actually evil and how everyone was so kind it was very beautiful to me. also, i always smile when i remember "the ultimate ginge" it was so funny to me

2. The Beast Below (5x2) - really really really like this episode like. already just for the visual look, i love it so much. the story is good imo, and i love that they managed to save the star whale, all hail amy pond!!! the ending was adorable i think. will never get over how visually gorgeous this episode is imo

3. Amy's Choice (5x7) - SUCH a fascinating episode, toby jones is fantastic as the dream lord and at least i kept doubting like no it's this no that AND IT WAS BOTH!?!? yeah love this episode, also rory is with us!!! he's so great guys one of my favourite companions for sure

4. The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang (5x12/5x1) - a great finale, i lovedddd how little amy came back and she helped save the world and the timey-wimeyness is SO GOOD y'all i love steven moffat because he does timey wimey stuff and i LOVE timey wimey stuff like all paradoxes and like going back in time to do something in the future etc etc is SO SO INTERESTING and you can do it in doctor who i need timey wimey stuff to happen even more in doctor who tbh

5. The Eleventh Hour (5x1) - great introduction to both amy and 11, the story is good + OLIVIA COLMAN RAHHH honestly i need her to come back to doctor who in a bigger role like even as the doctor or the master she's fantastic, but yeah i like this one too

6. The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone (5x4/5x5) - i like the story and the scene where the angel is appearing through the video clip and when amy had to walk with her eyes closed like the forest scenes were honestly so good, ANDDDD THE FACT THAT THE DOCTOR DOESN'T HAVE HIS COAT AND WHEN HE COMES BACK HE HAS IT ON YOU CAN SEE IT AND IT'S NOT A MISTAKE IT TIES TO THE SERIES FINALE I'M SO INSANE ABOUT THAT, always LOVE seeing river song, the angels moving on screen kinda sucks, however i'm fine with that because of the theories that they move between frames or the crack affects their abilities, and also the scene between 11 and amy at the end of the 2nd part was NOT good like i've heard steven moffat regrets writing it tho can't confirm that, and yeah he should like it doesn't add anything to the story, it's creepy, deeply uncomfortable and makes no sense

7. The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood (5x8/5x9) - it's not bad, i like the exploration of how humans can be very cruel, absolutely LOVE rory i was so sad when he died and karen gillan's acting when amy is trying to remember rory AAAAA, also loved many of the side characters, but that one silurian and the mum made me SO. ANGRY. like y'all won't even believe how much i hate those two god i was so mad

8. The Lodger (5x11) - i like the story even tho it's probably not the best there is, it's pretty funny and i do like craig ngl, i know people don't like him because of james corden, however i'm not aware of ANYTHING i have no idea what he's done because i like barely know the name so he doesn't ruin it for me

9. The Vampires of Venice (5x6) - i like rory and amy in this but tbh i'm not a fan of the story, i liked the side characters tho and was sad when the girl didn't survive she was really nice :(

10. Victory of the Daleks (5x3) - the story is okay i think but tbh i wasn't too invested, also what's it with churchill being such a hero so often like he was NOT that great of a guy and definitely not someone i'd really see the doctor being friends with, the scene where they're sort of turning the robot guy into human is great, i really like it

that's it for today!!!! hopefully i'll post series 6 sooner lol

[chappell-roans]

I dont always skip those songs except maybe cowboy like me. I like sad songs or even slow ones, but it just feels like a slog to get through that one in particular. I dont really love the chorus of happiness so I think that might be it lol. I do like evermore, I just dont love bon iver's verse. I liked the background vocals but I didnt like the switch up between her part and his, it takes me out of the song so I think I got used to skipping it. my most listened to rn I think is no body no crime, it's just such a vibe and has that narrative element that I like and could just picture it being a movie.

yeah I was hoping for gothic romance, or dark academia vibes just based off of the name of the album so I think thats why I was a little ehhhh. I would have loved her indie style applied to those aesthetics and subject matters, especially because evermore and folklore had more interconnected storytelling aspects and you can do so much with that applied those aesthetics. Focusing on something like dead poets society or a secret history would have also been something new for her and if it veered more into gothic romance I think something crimson peak/horror like would have been interesting.

OOooh okay interesting and tbh I've heard that complaint too so I get it. I skip various ones really just depending on my mood, if I don't want something slow I definitely don't listen to "cowboy like me" but that song just hits when I'm in the mood, phew. That's all fair critique tbh and interesting. I'm realizing I don't listen to evermore all that often but most recently I've mostly been listening to "dorothea," "tis the damn season," "cowboy like me," and "coney island." omg "no body no crime" is seriously great and I've definitely had it on repeat before, it definitely has that narrative element and such an idk attitude that I love. It's very fun and clever. I also adore "right where you left me," can't remember if I mentioned it before, but that's an all-timer for me. I had it on repeat a LOT in the past it's... I love it.

Mmmm oh yes absolutely! I honestly didn't expect this toooo much because I knew it was gonna be like, well, a breakup album, but also you can have hope because I know she freaking loves Crimson Peak and Guillermo Del Toro's movies generally. So I could see her leaning into that at some point, but I also feel like there's a chance that reputation is as "intense" (or however you wanna put it lmao) she's gonna get in that sense. But you never know? But I do definitely hope she continues that type of writing style from folklore and evermore. I really wonder whether Justin Vernon (of Bon Iver) or Aarson Dessner (of The National) are involved in the production, because they were both pretty heavily involved in both folklore and evermore. She gets the credit, of course, but their influence is undeniable. (And you can tell from her collabs w them on their other projects -- Big Red Machine is Bon Iver x The National and co, essentially. "Renegade" and "Birch" by BRM and "The Alcott" on The National's recent album.) SO there's that. There's hope? Lmao. She's also gonna have a song on Poets with Post Malone who's apparently making country/rock now (I haven't listened ngl) and Florence and the Machine which... love. There's hope for your dreams! Maybe isfdlkmsifdnlk

SHORT Sonic animation review from bad to good

ADVENTURES OF SONIC THE HEDGEHOG

I put this as the lowest, as I really get bored watching this. It's obnoxious and not funny

The low budget animation doesn't help. Robotnik is anoyying. 4/10

Sonic Prime

Wasted potential, having a multiverse story and you use the most boring ideas that was already boring when archie comics did it in the 90s. Eggman gets shelved to make evil Tails the villain. He's badly written. Don't even talk about Sonic's writing...the 2010s was the start of Sonic being lame (and if you want to pretend Sonic was cool in Lost World or Forces, im already convinced you're lying to yourself to pretend Sonic Team never does anything inconsistent, please, they are flawed writers consider the weird retcons they make) but PrimeSonic is so far removed from gameSonic that it's laughable and then there was the ending...

It means nothing, making you think what was the point of the series? The fact the showrunners said it was canon, shows to me that Sonic team doesnt care about the lore as much as the fans do. I could ignore all of that if the show was good or enjoyable ...but its not. Its boring and so generic. But Hey Shadow is atleast cool here. 5/10

Sonic Underground

This is honesty not as well made as Prime. But unlike Prime I don't get too bored watching this. The off model scenes are hilarious and some of the songs like the opening are ..pretty nice? Badly written? Yes, this was made to promote the Sonic adventure games and nothing on the show has anything related to Sonic adventure. Who is Manic and Sonia???Sonic's siblings? Sonic is a prince?! Wait is that Athair from the archie comics?...and Where is Amy and Tails? Wth went wrong here? But you know what, it's so bad its almost good. Series got canceled without a proper ending too. But I honestly hope to see a detailed history about how the heck this series was made. Probs more intreseting then the series itself

5+/10

Sonic Boom

Based on the Sonic Boom spin off that bombed super hard and DIDNT add anything decent to the Sonic franchise. Except for this TV series.

The animation is nice, but god the opening is a blatant lie. It gives you the vibe that we get some action and adventures. But the show is just a Sonic comedy with friends. Sonic Is anoyying. Amy Rose is a different character all together but name and is changed into the smart mom type in the group. Why? Sticks character and comedy gag of being paranoid gets old fast. Arround this time, the Sonic games decided to make Knuckles into a dumb dumb. Boom decided to make that trait his only trait. Boom is partly responsible for me no longer liking Knuckles anymore lol. Eggman Is again just a joke character. The salvation this show has, is its stong comedy. It's jokes about media tropes, life and the Sonic fandom are spot on. The voice acting is pretty good too.👌 if you just treat it as a comedy/parody of Sonic you end up enjoying it more.

6/10

Sonic Satam

Ngl this show has not aged well. But for what it is, it's a fine show. Sally is an enjoyable character and her chemistry with Sonic is well done. The animation is pretty good for its time and low budget. The ost isn't bad either. Robotnik is a threat here! The message this show wants to tell is pretty good. The creators had good intentions. But there are other things that bother me. The French coyote is annoying as hell. Him being a coward stops being funny after ten seconds. Why is Tails demoted to a helpless child ? And Rotor takes his place as the smart guy who is a Sonic fan boy? Why ? He just isn't as interesting as Tails. This show would have been better of if Ben Hurt made this into his own ip. The series is so divorced of Sonic's game vibe and story. Making it a nice cartoon but not a Nice Sonic cartoon. Also ends on a anoyying cliff hanger. Making this series feel so incomplete. For what it is, it's a fine series.

6/10

Sonic X

Finally a TV series based on the games! A show i loved as a child but didnt age well. Tms is normally great with their animation series but Sonic x feels half assed. I renember reading in an aniway anime magazine that during the production of the show they decided to add Chris, a child character for the western kid audience. They kinda knew this wasn't going to be a hit in Japan, and they were right, because Sonic x had such poor raitings, its last season aired in other countries, not even in Japan.

The Japanese ost is good and for the most part it got the characters right, With some exceptions of Amy Rose being flanderlized and Eggman forgetting he's a bad guy at one point. Sonic is done correctly, a jerkass, impatient, taunts his enemies without being obnoxious, not super on physical affection and Hates staying in one place. He's not the modern cape-super hero as Sonic is shown nowadays. But Sonic x's issues is that outside of the episodes based on the games, most episodes in season 1 and 2 are a bore to sit trough. Chris adds nothing to the cast and his presence hinders the overall enjoyment of the show. (Not helping that Chris steals scenes from the characters in the episodes based on the games ) Most of the human characters are quite anoyying. (Outside of Topaz and Helen, the show missed its huge chance by not making Helen the main human child in Sonic X! Super lost potential there) the anime picks up by season 3 with a new arc and introducing Cosmo. It gets intriguing! Sadly Chris is back too (just why) but two seasons with mostly mid or boring episodes is just to long to sit trough to get to the good parts.

6+/10

Sonic the movie/Sonic ova

The Sonic ova that was used as a pilot for a potential Sonic anime series in the 90s, sadly the vhs copies didn't sell well in Japan and the Ova remains at 2 episodes. I'm serious when I say: Too bad. Because this is the best Sonic animated thing there is! And the only Sonic cartoon I enjoy with a rewatch. (Which is depressing because Sonic has like 7 cartoon series and this 2 ova episodes is the best ones) The animation is a feast to the eyes, the ost is super good. "Look a like"" is such a yam. Sonic is at his best here, an impatient, rude teen, that doesn't save the day to be a superhero. But does it because he feels like it. (THANK you princess Sara) there is such a 90s vibe but it aged so well! Metal Sonic is cool as heck and we get Knuckles here too! Is this very canon to the games? Not really, it takes a different route from its story of its game Sonic cd. That being said, I don't care because for what it is, it's good! I didn't get bored any second. Is it perfect? No offcourse not, it still sucks that Amy Rose isn't present here, despite Sonic cd being her introduction. Would have loved it if Amy was here. I tried some digging but couldn't find any reason to why she was removed in place for Pricess Sara, I can only assume they added Sara to appeal to boys who like cute bratty anime cat girls? 🤔 I can't really think of any other reason why Sara is here. Eggman is at times silly too and him wanting to marry Sara who Is a teenage girl is an uncomfortable 'joke" but outside òf that, Sonic ova Is a super enjoyable anime. And the only Sonic title that I put on my lost as good animated video game adaption.

8/10.

random survey 2023 v.iv by ausmuh

How would you describe the last song you listened to? What ~vibes~ does it give off? >> I couldn't really say, but I think one could make their own judgement from the album art

When was the last time you were sick? How incapacitated were you by the illness/ailment? >> I had a random cold for a few days in the summer but on the occasions that I do get colds they don't really affect me that much, they're more obnoxious and inconvenient than actually incapacitating

Do you often reflect on your past in terms of "eras" or “milestone” time frames (eg, looking back and saying, “it’s been 10 years since X”, etc.)? >> I think that's the only way I can really measure time for myself; I find a few linchpin events that are easy for me to remember (going to NOLA for the first time in late 2009, for example, or leaving NYC in early 2016) and then kind of triangulate the general time frame of less-easy-to-recall events by their proximity to those linchpins I also measure time by who was piloting the body at the time -- did a thing happen in the Björn Era or the Grey Era, or was I here by then, that sort of thing

Is there something you would like to do or be, but have pretty much accepted it won’t happen because it’s just “not the kind of person you are” or is otherwise incompatible with your personality, character, etc.? >> this is kinda how I feel about deep interpersonal relationships, ngl

When was the last time you experienced cognitive dissonance? >> I... am not really sure that I experience that? my opinions are naturally malleable and context-dependent and I don't have a problem with paradox. I'm not sure how one would go about triggering a true dissonance in my thoughts

If you use Letterboxd, what causes you to “heart”/“like” a film? >> it's very much vibes-based. if I have a very strong attraction to a film in some way, then I usually Like it.

Do you like people watching and is it something you do often? If so, where are your favorite locations to do so? >> I don't do it often (I'm not usually around that many passersby these days) but it can be interesting sometimes. I think it was just way more interesting to do in NYC and that naturally set a bar, lol

Whether you want to have children or not, what do you think has had the greatest influence on your views of children/childrearing (eg, your parents, your own upbringing, your interactions with children as an adult, etc.)? >> obviously my own upbringing (in showing me what I definitely would not want to do) but most of my "this is what I would do" ideas come from a variety of places and I can't nail a majority there

Is there anything that you enjoy that you simultaneously find intensely cringey? Is it so cringey that you wouldn’t normally admit to actually enjoying it? >> fuck no lmao I don't do that "ooo it's a guilty pleasure" "ooo I know it's actually cringe" "ooo it's so bad but I love it" shit. I own my tastes and I respect them

When was the last time you felt someone was being dishonest with you — not necessarily downright lying to your face, but acting or responding to you in a way that seemed false or did not feel like their true self? .

Similarly, when was the last time you saw a side of someone that made you question your preexisting perception of them? .

If you were a doll, what outfit(s) and accessories would you come with? >> definitely a laptop and a pair of headphones. and a bunny plushie. the outfit would probably be black jeans, black battle vest (maybe with lil velcro patches and pins you could put on or take off? depending on the size of the doll ofc) or hoodie, and some sort of band t-shirt. this is based on what I most often wear outdoors when I don't need to put a lot of thought into it

What was the last bit of praise you received? >> Sparrow said I was "multiverse-brained" (galaxy-brained but bigger) in Discord earlier lol

When you hear or see your name written out (as in /your/ name, not someone else who shares your name), do you immediately recognize it as your own, or is there a moment of disconnect before that recognition? >> I do immediately recognise it as my own, yeah. but sometimes I also feel a lil jolt, like I'm being Recognised in a more real sense, because that's also my name in a different universe but the average person that knows my legal name doesn't know that extra detail (unless they've also read the book, which, in my experience, the average person hasn't)

[blackidyll]

@qserasera i'm sorry for how insanely long it's taken me to properly comment on and express my love for this fanmix, but as promised, writing up some of my thoughts and feelings on your excellent choices. i hope you enjoy this because i love this mix so so so much

first though i have to say i love that this is both based on jingheng's canon relationship, and that it spans their backstory and their relationship progression after the ambrosial arbor crisis. i just love all aspects of their relationship so much and this mix feels so complete with how it explores their rather complicated and long history with each other; seeing that reflected in your song choices has been really fun and also insightful <3

also thanks for introducing me to a new fancy word i had to look up what analemma means

(read more because you know how wordy i am)

死生不怨 is such an amazing start for this mix (as an aside i love how many chinese songs you have in this mix because absolutely yes all the luofu vibes). the melody, the lyrics; this song actually gives me strong -dan feng in the shackling prison- vibes, which actually feels rather appropriate because dan heng's beginning is with dan feng's end. can't quite decide if this song's from df or jy's pov, tbh (that one lines about -who lights a lantern for whom- really catches me all the time when i listen to this song) but either way the wistfulness and regret is strong with this one

the vocalists for Never to Return is so good? that ethereal echo-y quality of the voices. that high note -repent- is soooo chilling. this song is definitely the preceptors attempting to brainwash dan heng when he was still trapped in the shackling prison for me, but also the -never to return-s call to mind his banishment.

the vibes for 阴 is.. wow. i mean other than the super appropriateness of a song called yin. this song really reminds me of the vocals of all the three battle HSR songs when fighting Phantylia. coupled with The Light. Pt. II... just makes me think of jy finally succeeding with commuting dh's sentence into banishment and setting dh free in the same move.

ngl Unstoppable caught me offguard hahahaha i was not expecting techno chinese rap but i kind of love it? because HSR is like space tech scifi fantasy and once we get off the luofu? heck yeah we're getting chinese techno rap. i really like the contrast with 萧綦进城, because of course jy is still back on the luofu.

oh man Lost Times. her voice is just haunting. -you did what everyone told you to do. now what? there's got to be more- and -how long can you go before you make a change-. this song and 云之泣 give me similar jy vibes, but i'm screaming more about 云之泣 because "weeping of the clouds"?????? "within the moonlight, too many worries, and too little dreams"??? yelling screaming throwing up idk how you keep finding songs that are just so spot on.

i've already yelled at you at the 我爱的这个世界 -> The Lion's Heart -> Rough Seas transition, but now i get to yell about it more. you said that you imagined 我爱的这个世界 as dh's transformation back into his imbibitor lunae form which i absolutely agree with, but also this is such a romantic song? definitely encapsulates all my feelings during jy and dh's interactions during 1.2. and then The Lion's Heart? 100% jy during the battle with phantylia. also the music at 1.22 onwards kept tickling my brain and i kept trying to think of what it reminded me of, and i finally got it: the build up is very similar to I Am The Doctor, Eleven's theme from Doctor Who. which yeah, i can absolutely see the parallels between the way jy operates as general and the way the doctor usually handles universe ending crises.

i love Rough Seas so much omg. i could listen this song on repeat for days, on it's own it's such a great song but in a jy/dh context i just really like that this is them finally coming together after all the heart break and nostalgia and wistfulness because on their own they can survive but together they're so much stronger and they'll thrive.

Eye of the Storm, Mahogany and 云之羽 are definitely them working through their history and it's tough and there's so much history to reconcile and there's still the aftermath of the crisis to work through.. but there's an element of hope there. i really like these -in between- songs a lot. but goodness, the amount of pining in 云之羽 though ahhhhhh

we're back with the space jams with 爱情把戏 and Heavy and hehe this makes me think of dh going back to trailblazing again, but then we have jy occasionally visiting him on the express and them just finding themselves on firmer feet around each other. and like they're definitely feeling a connection to each other but like, neither of them are actually going to put it to words so they're just circling each other and everyone else is just watching them and making bets on when one of them is actually gonna say something aloud and eventually someone's going to snap (march probably, where's a closet when you need to shove in a couple who won't admit they're a couple) but in the meantime the UST is strong lmao

i internally screamed with Hopeless Romantic because it's such such such a jy song omggggggg. the quiet pining forever. the first time i was listening through this song i was actually saying my replies outloud to the lyrics like it was jy actually singing it ("i know i fell in love again" me: awww "but maybe it's just a phase" me: NO IT'S NOT "you might be gone someday" me: NO HE WON'T "but here's hoping that you'll stay" me: THEN ASK HIM TO STAY)... ya.. a very jy song...

Altar yooo 👀 the religious imagery. "I'm running up to the altar, drink from the water 'Til you show me some love, I am waiting". there are so many directions this can go

永安 is so beautiful... the lyrics.. but why are you two still pining omg this is a very them song.. the whole -i'm willing to endure/sacrifice/do everything so you're safe/happy/smiling-... it's very jy with his whole "dh is like a fish returned to sea, it's enough for me to watch him from the shore" but i also believe dh 100% feels the same... could you two.. not ahhhhh

i do love that you ended this mix with Moonlight Sunrise because it's such an upbeat song i like to imagine that they FINALLY stop pining like maybe march succeeded in shoving them into a closet and they finally figured out that they do love each other and want to be together and now they can go dating at aurum alley and it's sweet and kind of awkward but they're both incandescently happy about it (also i see what you did with "i'm your moonlight you're my sunrise" because that's themmmmm)

all in all i love this mix so much, you captured so many flavours of their relationship and i am here for every moment of it. thank you so much for this ahhhhhhhh 💚🧡💚🧡💚🧡

I don’t want to be that person but it’s annoying how people keep spewing hate about face the sun. Like I TOTALLY get not vibing. Like I do.

But y’all, take a second and remember that they don’t have long as a full group to experiment with more grown up,sexier sounds!! 94z are already having to enlist which means 95z and probably going next year. It doesn’t mean they have lost their whole way but they’re all in their mid 20s now. Let them have one sexy comeback?!

Like it’s fine to not like everything they do. I’m not a fan of Ash at all so I ignore it 🤷🏽‍♀️

It’s annoying because I know these people aren’t really seventeen fans and want any opportunity to diminish them but still.

love that i am now getting cb takes from u all JKFDJKFDJKFDKJ but ok this is also something i haven’t really talked abt in public either so... brace urself for a v lengthy reply lol. a dissertation even 😭

def get where ur general sentiment is coming from! i won’t lie and say that the... less than positive reviews abt fts didn’t initially dampen the mood a bit for me (esp bc i’ve been loving everything), but now that i think abt it, i think that’s just part of being in a community! i was very sad/kind of heated ngl, to say the least, when i heard things like this, but we also just have to keep in mind that people from all walks of life who are definitely free to form their own opinions and have their own preferences AND voice them out just as we’re doing right now join caratland after all. but you’re also right in the sense that there’s a very fine line between giving honest feedback and being just straight up mean. i think it’s just difficult for some to reconcile the fact that other people can seem... VERY brutal, even, to the boys but i also don’t think that them doing so makes them haters/non-fans (though i also def agree that non-carats join the “hate” bandwagon, for lack of better term). i think the people that do so just like the boys enough to actually let them know how they feel instead of just sucking up to them. i also share ur same sentiment (my friends would KNOW how upset?????-idk if thats the right term- i was with the exact thing ure pointing out actually lol), but while i have been loving everything from this cb, i also won’t be a hypocrite and say that i don’t have things i’m not in love with abt the svteenies’ work from time to time, so imo it’s just fair tbh JKFDJKFJKFD.

that being said i've actually been seeing very mixed reception for face the sun, and based on what i've seen the main pain point or issue people have with the album/are disappointed about is the general direction and sound svt has been taking as of late. i'm not really sure what people expect from svt (i initially was thinking that maybe it's the freshteenie songs but then again, weren't people also very lukewarm about say, more of their recent releases along the same line such as not alone and darling?), so i also don’t know where this is coming from. i also think it’s kind of ironic bc the whole point of face the sun is shedding their old selves (starting from the teasers saying ‘i’m not svt anymore’, to the whole svteenie lore we have now, and the actual storyline u can observe from the album when u listen to the songs in the order of the tracklist as they intended). the boys have also been mentioning the same exact thing in interviews. and not to be me, but i think what jihoon said in the nylon interview is especially relevant here, and pretty much sums up what i feel abt the whole thing as well. think it’s just better that i put in what he said bc... exactly king <3 ure SOOO correct.

WOOZI: ... I don’t want Seventeen to lose their sense of adventure, we want to keep moving forward ... Some people might point fingers or criticize us and say, “That’s not the right way, that’s not the right answer,” but I just hope people think, “This is just who they are.” (source)

that also touches on what you’re saying abt them being more experimental with albums as of late. personally, i highly appreciate what theyre doing (i.e. broadening their horizons style wise). i don’t think a group can retain a singular trademark sound their whole entire career without it sounding repetitive anyway. i think it’s just an inevitable part of growth! some people may be attached or like a certain sound they executed before better, but i don’t think it should necessarily mean that them trying out different things is bad. people HAVE BEEN ASKING for a darker comeback and its exactly what they delivered! it’s just that there’s no 1-size-fits-all solution imo. the oldies were right when they said u can’t please everyone (bc again everyone has different preferences and tastes and there’s absolutely nothing wrong w that!!).

and SOOOO true!! while i also think that we should be open to other inputs (it’s what expands our perspectives after all), i think it’s very important to curate your own fandom experience. if u don’t like it, just keep scrolling dfdfkjfdjfd and the same should go with opinions! i feel like it’s very taxing to invest yourself in sumn that just weighs you down, so if u don’t like it... move on <3 also if u really think abt it... we’re all just kpoppies babes... it’s not that serious JKFJKFDKJFD

[storfulsten]

How do you get inspiration/motivation? Is there certain people who inspire you or is it all just spontaneous?

welp this got ranty as heck for no reason so a read-more it is

uh well, first of all I guess if the source material is entertaining enough to keep my attention for long enough time to make me wanna do stuff, that's certainly a plus motivation-wise, and for some reason fnf has pulled it off really well. I guess since it's music-based, since music in general is always a good source of inspiration aswell, so it's like even more motivating than average. and with all the mods and fanmade content, remixes of existing songs and people making their own amazing new songs, it just keeps going ha. so yeah that's one thing I guess (though sometimes I do wonder if I'd been as attached if the whitty mod hadn't been around. I probably would still enjoy the game and music and all that, though art motivation is uncertain. maybe I would've shoved bf at some other mod or something for shipping purposes, but that's hard to even imagine now tbh lol) secondly, I guess positive reinforcement and knowing people want to see what you make, and sharing the joy in wanting to see these specific characters just exist and be happy and all that corny stuff (some people wanna see other stuff which is ofc fine, I just prefer the corny happy stuff that gives me good vibes personally, so that's what I prefer doing lol). so like, seeing people liking and reblogging things is always nice, especially if they leave neat tags. ngl that stuff get's me hyped as heck lol. but really even without that, every like on a post is one person that hopefully got some joy from seeing whatever the post was about, mushy doodle or silly "comic" or whatnot. it's all good vibes heck ye as for specific people inspiring me, I guess yes and no? like there's plenty of people whose names I've grown to recognize when they pop up in my notifications, so that's always cool seeing people sticking around and continuously supporting my bullcrap lol. and also yeah there are more specific people aswell, mostly the other people who's also doing content for this stupid ship, it's really motivating to see heck ye. also again, the people that regularly leave the nicest of tags when reblogging, I see you and I appreciate you so so much ok. you know who you are, maybe, idk but yeah lol idk about naming names cause I don't wanna single anyone out or put any kind of pressure or expectations for anything on anyone. sorry for being so vague I'm probably just paranoid for no reason ha. so uh yeah, as for doodling in general I usually don't have much of a plan unless it's based on something else like some meme or quote or whatever. so it's a bit up in the air every time how the next doodle is gonna end up lol. but even if aimless, I still wanna keep doing it because it's what makes me happy, and feeling motivated by all the good vibes and such here on tumblr dot cringe certainly makes it easier to keep doing it ha sorry for rambling aimlessly, idk if this answered anything of whatever you were asking. if not I'm sorry, but it's the best I can do atm
