Day 286

“Like opening a jewelry box.”

Don’t mind the chaotic placement of the washi tape and stickers, I just wanted to play around with the entire set. Normally, I would wait until I have a reason to use a washi tape I’ve brought, and even then, if I had brought a set I don’t use the whole set.

However, this set is unique currently in the collection that I own (and will probably continue to be unique for a while because god this was expensive in the short term). So there is a bullet journal site called Notebook Therapy, and like the Washi Tape Shop, what they primarily sell is their own brand.

They’re actually a good study in FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), because they sell a lot of limited edition journals. 

But the other thing they do, is that they purposely design their products to be (or appear to be) “high end” products. All their washi tape, stencils and stamps are sold as a collection set. The way they designed their washi tape sets specifically is to keep within a particular theme, and to provide the user with as many different washi tape types within that collection.

That last bit was the thing that caught my attention the most about their washi tape. Normally when I buy washi tape in a set, I’m buying a single type of washi tape, but several designs in a theme. Whereas their selling point is I can at least get one washi tape that has a clear backing, one that has gold foil on it, and at least one that I can write on without the ink bleeding. And then the collections may have additions like rolls that look like tickets, film or some special die cut. So I just had to try. I ended up settling on the second Vintage Rose set.

Which ended up arriving on a Saturday by a delivery company I am not familiar with. The first thing I noticed was how pretty the box is. It looked like it was something special.

I didn’t realize it came with stickers, but it was a delightful find.

And of course all the washi tape, two of them with gold foil, one with clear backing, one standard washi tape, one writable tape (which were also stickers) and one die cut. I’m not sure what I’ll use it on, maybe a page about writing or a writing letter themed card.

guys, i think the hermits are going to accidentally start a prank war again. because just like last time, a game of telephone has begun. first, false made iskall's build into ''false beans,'' her shop from the previous season. however, to give herself plausible deniability, she signs it with "love, Joel. x" due to his username, smallishbeans.

next, iskall sees this, and completely believes it. he thinks it was joel who pranked him, and as he says to pearl while showing off the sign, which he kept even after tearing the prank down, "joel gave me a kiss." in his most recent video, he pranks joel by sending him loads of anonymous messages in order to completely spam and fill his inbox, preventing him from getting any more mail, with notes such as "thinking about you. x"

of course, joel is going to have absolutely no context for this, because he didn't make the initial prank. so who is joel going to assume sent him all those messages while he was away on holiday? well, i have a guess.

etho.

SUMMARY OF TANGO'S LATEST HERMITCRAFT EPISODE:

[image ID: a page of PM in homestuck holding a letter in front of a collage of mail. the text reads: "The mail is the one final hope for resurrecting a dead planet from its ashes, and the letter carriers are the brave soldiers of God in this righteous crusade. They are the defenders of the light of knowledge, free communication, and the exchange of ideas. They are the bold toters of all those little papery conduits of freedom, the white postmarked angels that whisper a message on their deliverance, a promise to the yearning: "There is hope yet."

Liberty. Reason. Justice. Civility. Edification. Perfection.

MAIL." /end ID]

My great-uncle runs grocery stores and he told me about having to close down the one by the university because the students never bought fresh perishable foods there and (though I haven't been a college student these 6 years) I still am very proud of myself whenever my grocery list is just perishables

how do you think things would’ve gone if cas didn’t “die” after spitting out the leviathan? and like specifically how do you think him sticking around would have affected his relationship with dean/dean’s forgiveness of him?

Honestly? I think Dean would have forgiven him pretty easily. Like he honestly forgave Cas pretty quickly in season 7 and that was despite being frustrated with Cas being avoidant and all the depression Dean was dealing with the whole season partly due to Cas dying in the first place and the fallout of Sam's broken wall (which was broken by Cas deliberately). So I honestly think if Cas had been able to keep that earnest promise in 7.01 about making things right and them working through this, Dean would have forgiven him fairly quickly. I don't think it would be easy I think Dean would need time, especially after Cas broke Sam's wall, and I think they'd fight and cry all over again like they did before Cas came to his senses about the souls. (They were both so heartbroken and weepy all 6.21!!!) But I think Dean would have forgiven him. Cas broke his heart and fucked up his brother's head specifically to punish him and Dean was still offering olive branches and saying "Maybe angels don't need to breathe" and keeping his trenchcoat in the car and saying "Don't make me lose you too" and etc etc etc.

If I knew how to edit videos at all I would love to make a video essay on BoTW + ToTK and how it helps players process grief.

Both games do an astounding job of capturing why it’s so damn hard to let go of the past, how different people handle loss, and how death of the body doesn’t necessarily mean influence + impact dies with the person.

Doing the final grind for ending ToTK is making me feel and think about a lot of things ;;;

How do you feel about Dungeon Meshi (i think i spelt that right) getting more popular? I feel like i’ve only seen u post about it but now its popping up a lot more on my twt / tiktok

Mixed feelings! Glad it has an anime now and that ppl are enjoying it, because its really good!

I myself think its annoying when ppl are like "im gatekeeping x media bc its important to me 😡" so thats not how I feel on the other end. It has impacted lots of ppl so if it can get a bigger reach and impact more, thats good. ^_^

if i did not have the time or energy or resources to read it, I would've hated feeling alienated just bc it became a favorite media of mine after the anime came out

Its more like. Idk.

I know ppl who hope it gets Bigger for more official merch but I just don't want it to get Embarrassing ykwim.

I need it to not get so popular that in a few years I'm hiding the volumes from my shelf because its an embarrassing, beat to death thing thats present in every store, backpack, socks, sweater that looks like characters clothing, funko pops, etc. something i cant even enjoy anymore bc its been wrung dry and overexposed and misinterpreted, "of course u like it EVERYONE likes it!" and now I'm tired of it, and wouldn't want ppl to associate me with it LOL 🧿🧿🧿

my advice for anyone whos growing more and more frustrated with the state of aftg and fandom at large is that arguing is fun but you need to be happy. ok. you need to. its hard when bad faith takes are dropped to your doorstep but you need to be happy and enjoy yourself and have fun or there's no point in anything at all ever. ok. fandom is not real and nothing is worth more than your enjoyment. i love you please make sure to have fun and reach out to a friend today. for me

still haven't moved on from zane in this episode (aka I hit tag limit again and am unhappy about it)

[easy-revenge]

i saw the clip of mello finding out about matt's death from the news again and the cops were like "we're still trying to identify the suspect that was gunned down" and my immediate thought was haha good luck with that but now im thinking...

who is gonna identify OR claim him? mello is the only person who would and he died a few hours later. i bet there's no record of matt anywhere, being a wammy's kid and all, and like the only way anyone is gonna put two and two together is through halle.

if halle knew who matt was and that he worked with mello, then near would probably also know and claim him, but literally if she didn't know, which would make sense strategically on mello's side, matt would just be a rando that worked under mello for all anyone cares.

so now im sitting here wondering if there's a tombstone for matt somewhere out there and whether 'mail jeevas' is engraved on it.
