@dotflowweek Day 2: Watering Can Effect, Plant World, Lack of Concentration

The sound of scratching fills the dense, humid air. Out of habit, she tenses up, her gaze flitting from left to right warily. Sabitsuki isn’t certain what it is she’s so afraid of; her tormentor doesn’t have a face, nor a name, nor any body to speak of other than her own. Even so, the fear of this fragile peace being disturbed is enough for her to still the movement of her hand, returning silence to the void around her.

For a few moments, she eyes the door. It stands, imposing in its solitude, among a small group of scattered flowers to her left. It’s not going to suddenly open or anything— there’s nothing in the Flow that can roam freely around like she can. But the thought lingers in her decaying mind nonetheless.

Sabitsuki picks her worn pencil up again and presses the tip to the old, yellowed page of her diary. It seems she only drew a couple of meagre lines before her nerves got the better of her. After taking a moment to steady her hand, she completes the letter, and moves on the next.

She would have preferred to do this somewhere else; the air here is too oppressive, the scenery too bleak and colourless. If possible, she’d be taking comfort in the neon lights and calming melody in the area east of the Flow's entrance. But she needs silence for this.

It’s been a few days since Sabitsuki began keeping her journal. Her first entry was a few pages; a long, scrawled ramble about herself and her situation. The second was just a page. The third, a few paragraphs. She doesn’t mind, though— she doesn’t care much for the consistency of what she writes. In truth, Sabitsuki mainly does it to distract herself. The sound of pencil scratching against paper is soothing for her; it eases her mind, helps her forget about the constant feeling of being watched, of being hunted.

She pulls her attention back to the diary. Her hand has stalled again after a few sentences, but it can’t be helped. The only thing to do is keep writing.

She wonders if, someday, this old book will be found. Perhaps, long after she has rusted away, an explorer too curious for their own good will find their way into Sabitsuki’s apartment, and investigate against their better judgment. She doesn’t know whether they’d even be able to access the Flow— is it different for everyone? Or does this world have a special link to her, unbreakable even through death? She has so many questions, but knows not to expect answers.

Sabitsuki’s arm brushes against the lone white flower on her left, and she glances at it. A while ago, she investigated the plants here— the poignant smell was crystal clear to her back then, but now it feels… muted, harder to discern. The Rust is taking its toll, it seems, but she wonders whether it’s degrading the flowers themselves or her own senses. Perhaps both.

She returns her focus to the journal. About a paragraph, if that. It’ll have to do.

Sabitsuki shuts the book and slowly, carefully gets up from her sitting position. The decay of her body has left her much weaker and frailer, even more so than she already had been.

She doesn’t have long left, and she knows it.

Scooby Doo, and Sonic Too!

A Sconic crossover I've been fiddling with for fun! My favorite designs are definitely Scooby and Velma. I was trying to really make the characters feel accurate to the Sonic style while still being recognizable, but they definitely need one or two redesigns to work. Still, I'm glad I did this! It was a cool exercise!

its so funny how little reasons patrick has for killing paul allen in the book. like in the movie, it was clear: paul has the better business card, he can score reservations at dorsia, he flaunts about his home tanning bed, and of courss, he has the fischer account

but in the book, paul actually has a dogshit card (which patrick is relieved about) and i dont think paul ever even MENTIONS dorsia. even with the things that COULDVE been reasons for patrick to hate him, he seems totally chill about it. like when paul mistakes his for halberstram patrick is like "yeah its p understandable 🤷" , and if he can tolerate hanging out armstrong who has mistaken him for a "Taylor" for like 5 hours , i dont think he really even minds if a coworker he stumbles across mistakes him for someone else.

or how about the fact that paul was dating patrick's ex at some point? which patrick obviously doesnt gaf because he doesnt feel any connections with women (faggot alert 🤫) . the only thing rlly going is just that paul is handling the fischer account. which patrick peobably doesnt actually want. like, the only reason he even cared about the fischer acc is probably because tim was complaining about it in the first chap.

movie patrick wants the fischer account because of its status. patrick hated paul because paul was succeeding and patrick wasnt. book patrick is obsessed with the fischer account because hes SUPPOSED to be.

idk, book patrick was lowkey chill with paul. he didnt really hold that much disdain over him (actually at some points he would actually express admiration for him even..) and usually the emotion patrick feels when hes with paul is . neevousness ..

since you're the most qualified person i know regarding dumas, i wanted to know your take on the bbc's The Musketeers (2014). i had a weird obsession with it a few years ago. how well (or not) does it hold up in every aspect (except for the main title track which is above any and all reproach)?

hmmm after long reflection this is difficult to answer because even tho i do in fact like the show, the only specific things i have to say ab it are negative, and i feel that doesnt fully reflect my opinion. i think the best way to summarize it is the show doesnt do anything as good as the books, so when i try to analyze it im just thinking "couldve been better" but i do admire their honesty in saying its "inspired by the characters" instead "based on the books" or whatevey. anway ill try to hit some more specific points:

they did my boy rochefort soooooo dirty!!! why did they slander him like that hes a very cool chill guy in the books and him and d'art have such a cute lil friendship in vaa, whyyy did they make him such a horrible little creeper #notmyroachie also what is adaptations repeated fixation on eyepatches? he literally doesnt have one

i dont feel as strongly ab the grimaud slander bc that change is funny as heck. he bears zero resemblence to book!grimaud but if book!grimaud decided to hunt athos for sport i would support him. tho i do think if they wanted to make him a villain they shouldve made it /him/ as a villain, not just some guy w the same name. or even commit to the bit and do an evil lackey squad. also its a tv show they had time to include more of the side charcters from the book [such as the lackeys] but didnt?? like this applies to others but im a lackey stan so i think of them first. its interesting how a lot of modern adaptations tend to minimize or erase servant characters when in some classic lit [particularly these] they are major side characters

ryan gage as louis 13 slayed immensely. he did not have to bring that much to his performance but he did and it was amazing

costume design was mid at best, and made all the worse by louis and the occasional side character wearing stuff thats actually in the vicinity of 1630s so that i see them and think "why not everyone?" i will say that they tended to have internal consistancy with each other so there is that going for it, but i absolutley HATED how the mouskos literally never changed clothes. like they got new fits in s3 but then they never changed out of those? a single cloth doublet im begging d'art got MARRIED in that crusty leather fit even tho his gf is literally a seamstress its horrible

calzone brought up that pretty much every woman in the show gets victimized at some point, which, yeah and it kinda makes the feminist monets feel a lil performative. also they fell into some of my milady adapting pet peeves: massive stat debuffs, made her sad ab athos, over-reliance on pop culture femme fatale tropes rather than her actual canon, etc. that one ep where perdita weeks showed up as a grifter/assassin and i just sat there and thought "that shouldve been milady. also people who think s3 was bad bc theyre butthurt ab milathos are wrong and stupid. s3 was bad bc of spiderman 3 syndrome [too many villains making it unfocused]

very uneven amounts of screentime for the mouskos? i swear half of the episodes were aramis-centric and maybe 2 overall were d'art-centric? make that make sense. actually fr what WAS the shows obsession w aramis, esp when they got rid of his more complicated and interesting book traits. hes barely even catholic in this, much less slutty and evil. all les inseperables were a lil ooc but i expect that in adaptations to an extent [tho i do feel they lost some of the charm of how wildly different they are from eachother in the books] the casting itself was pretty good though and i feel cabrera couldve done a good aramis if they had given him better writing to work with [also: hilarious how aramis spends most of the show in a committed monogamous situationship while /athos/ of all people has the three weed smoking girlfriends]

absolutely comical how much a bbc production went out of its way to avoid any of the england related plots from the novels. what, worried about even the slightest potential of portraying england less than favourably? tbh aside from dumas' funny narratorial comments england gets a pretty fair shake in the books, so excluding buckingham etc. in favour of making up plots ab spain is just silly.

absolutely loved that one time they went to the morgue to investigate a case they shouldve done that more it was funny. i think the show was at its best when it was having silly goofy moods [athos' "funeral"? peak]

uhh i think thats it for specifics, if there was something you had in mind you can ask and i probably do have a thought ab it that i just like forgot lol. anyway solid 6/10 ive seen it multiple times and am open to watching it again, like you said bangin theme song

[moonshynecybin]

Do think vale said he thinks the sabotage from Marc began in 2013 at Leguna Seca so he would sound less insane in his theory he’s like look I’ve thought this for age it must be right.

i think the laguna seca comment is so crazy for manyyyy reasons. like yes he is being delusional and yes i do think he was a little uncomfy with it in the moment in 2013 bc marc won against him doing a punk ass move BUT he couldnt exactly raise a stink about bc its HIS famous move. irritating for competition and ego reasons as it was a very glaring reminder that uh. its MARC'S time to shine old man. i am you as you were back when you could do this shit get ready. BUTTTT i also think he liked marc enough in 2013 to mostly ignore that and make it a fun joke! choke him in parc ferme, give him some shit in the presscon, re-affirm that i did it first and better, and move on. which couldve been the end of it. EXCEPT:

where i actually think that comment gets its legs is from is ASSEN 2015, where they had a very similar on track moment where vale overtook marc off track and won against marc on the last lap. and instead of being #cool #chill and #hot about it, marc asked honda to lobby with race direction. which is where we get this iconic photograph... and yes! they were still very jolly in the post-race presscon/parc ferme and re-affirmed their friendship, but they DID disagree about it. and when vale like. specifically brought up laguna seca as a direct comparison, marc said ummmm no. i think i deserved to win this race. which EYE IMAGINE for vale was a hard pill to swallow considering he (very graciously in his eyes i think) was very nice about marc doing the same thing to him two years ago and even defended him to the press! so its less about sabotage and more about looking at marc and thinking. you steal my move and then when i do it to you a few years later you say that in your mind you won this race ???

[radiation]

I kind of want to hear your thoughts wrt how anya couldve been handled better. Do you think the pregnancy part shouldve just not been there in the first place? I cant think of any ending for her that is less gruesome that doesnt also change many aspects of all the later parts of the game. And also in general i just think you have interesting takes on the game and i wanna hear more

Good question and i will provide my thoughts under the cut. Listless unfiltered stuff tho Im so out of it right now but im chilling.

As a conclusion of all that precedes it I agree, the ending is properly gruesome and its hard to say it should've been done any other way. If we're being faithful to the story and her character as-is i'd say less so change the major events and moreso change the way they're delivered and slip in more respectful characterization of anya here and there through fleshing out her life and personal motivations, even if it's just hints of it

However unless they really really did a crazy good job i probably still wouldnt like it. But that's like, the unfortunate domino effect of writing a character like her, i feel that her character/place in the story is misogynistic on a pretty fundamental level and eliminating that would require restructuring things about her character/the story. But idk, who's to say they couldnt have.

Its complicated because theres all these different layers of narrative decisions being made that influence other shit and the more fundamental of a choice you change, the greater differences there will be down the road. Its butterfly effect shit. Like sometimes i think about this in my own projects. I think about like, what if while developing my own game, i'd made the 2 main characters completely different people? What if they were fucking like, Kevin and Trent, and id gone down the whole pipeline of fleshing out their characters and actually made them genuinely good. If thats what I made and thats what everyone was used to and then I randomly replaced them with Neal and Jack and the themes associated with them, people would be like. Thats wrong why the fuck did you do that. You ruined the themes bro. But the same is true of the other way around. You have to ask: is what's in front of me truly the best version it could have possibly been, or could it have been any number of things, and I'm just attached to what's right in front of me?

Its not to say you cant write about misogyny or sexual assault, or that there aren't people with experiences like Anya and you can't write about them. It's more asking like, out of all of the routes they couldve gone with wrt having any female characters whatsoever why did they choose this one specifically. If they had from the get-go written a bit of a different character with different themes and went down that whole road, no pregnancy or whatever but some other shit more impactful for what was there, they could have potentially written something equally or more powerful, just tackling a different vein of subject matters.

Like not saying at all this is what they should've written, I think its kind of lame, this is just a random ass example. But what if the conflict between Anya and Jimmy was them previously being like, rivals for the same position at their job, and likely due to misogyny in the system Jimmy ended up getting it instead of her. Anya is essentially in the same position of inferiority under Jimmy that Jimmy is under Curly and while Jimmy is obsessed with this narrative of him not getting what he deserves and lashes out, Anya is forced to grin and bear it, and their characters are meant to call attention to the gap in acceptable behaviors and entitlement that is created by patriarchal society. Idk. I think theres already hints of that and its way less emotionally impactful than whats there rn but the point is like, it still could've been well executed, and if thats what was there, people wouldnt be asking like "wow this sucks ass i really wish anya had gotten sexually assualted instead" LOL do you know wha ti mean.

I dont even know what my point is right now but idk I guess i dont have a good answer for what is the best thing they couldve done differently. I can only speak for my own preferences and honestly I dont write about this subject matter at all. Like ill be honest the specific subject of women being abused/assaulted makes me so upset i dont want to put even a fraction of an ounce of that into the world period, so i just dont write about it, my mind always goes to women dealing with other kinds of conflicts instead. And I generally tend to write more about things like microaggressions and the complexities of relationships rather than unbelievable injustices without relief. I lay a lot of respect on my characters, when horrible things happen to them I offset the events into the realm of neutrality by affording them things like privacy and moments of calm and monotony. I like writing like this and i think its good but its certainly somewhat informed by me living a privileged lifestyle. So yknow who am i to say what experiences you should write about.

Well i just looked it up and it seems like the main developers on the game are both men so im gonna say actually yeah Methinks they should've just straight up written something else. I mean i have no way of knkowing their experiences for sure but im gonna take a wild guess and say they dont have a lot of skin in this game. Also i just realized they also made how a fish is made that game looked pretentious as fuck sorry.

[mulletmitsuya]

Idk if anyone already replied but I love giving my opinion on tokrev lmao about the ending I liked it it was a happy ending but it couldve 100% been better for sure. I'm glad with what we got tho but I think they couldve definetely done more with hanma for example but yeah. Its fine

I dont think there's a ship everyone loves but I hate? Some people like kakucho and izana I don't like that one theyre more like siblings to me tbh

I also dont have one that I love that everyone hates BUT I do have some that hardly anyone ships like senju and yuzuha or angry and takuya (I might be alone on that one lmao)

This is my problem with it lol I wish it was fleshed out! I don't think I would have been as angry as I am now if we got to this ending with a detailed explanation of how we got there but alas, we only got 5 chapters. 😔 And yeah the extremely violent and mentally disturbed kids just being perfectly functioning adults also kinda made me a bit confused (not the ones who's trauma was either fixed or prevented by Mikey and Takemitchy, i'm saying the ones who are just like that. say the Haitani's, Hanma, Shion etc). Hanma's just chilling? With no murderous intent🤔? Hmm.

Also I think it's very 50/50 with viewing Izana and Kakucho relationship as either romantic or more sibling coded. I spoke about my interpretation of it with @davishater and I think it's more one sided if we're talking about the romance aspect. I think Kakucho holds Izana on a pedestal and basically views him as a god of sorts. I think Kakucho views him as more than a friend or older brother (not necessarily lover) because he "saved" him. Their relationship is actually so complex and complicated and dare I say toxic because of the extreme difference in power dynamics. Izana obviously loves Kakucho deerly but doesn't know what to do with said love because you can't give what you never got right? Idk if he views him as a little brother but imo I don't think Izana's romantically interest in Kakucho. Also, he's 18 and Kaku's 14 so💀.

I like Yuzuha and Senju a lot actually. They've never met but I'm interested in the dynamics there. And I've never heard of Takuya and Angry but I see the vision somehow. Now I kinda wish they had canon interactions😭.

[loveregrown]

Actually, I don't have many qualms with LIS:BTS when I really think about it, comparatively I am one of the people who genuinely like it and have positive feelings towards it enough to have replayed it a few times, albeit not the 150+ hours I have on LIS1... the setting and the soundtrack. Even if I think a lot couldve been done better, I grew to love the voice acting which many hated due to being different (really, chloes va sounds JUST like a young ashly burch! What made it bad is she tried too hard to sound like chloe price, but that adds more charm, in a weird way, adds to chloe's 16 year old awkwardness)... I like what I know of Rachel in LIS1, what she represents, but loved mostly every second of seeing her in her Almost rawest state considering chloe never got to see the deepest darkest parts of her especially as Rachel grew up, she did get to see so much of what laid beneath the surface, at least, even if she never Truly knew her. Its funny how easily fans get manipulated by rachel just as chloe does, I am not one to believe she is a master manipulator at all because Im not a rachel anti just a genuine rachel enjoyer, but lijw, wow, what worked on chloe worked on you and thats pretty funny. I think what i least liked about it were the subplots but that was for the sake of adding something to keep you playing I suppose, since rachels fate is clear. So much of it made me really emotional, it kept up the themes of exploration of different family dynamics that I liked in LIS but like... Really went deep into it, really really, with multiple characters and I liked that. Took advantage of such things wirh rachels family anf chloes too. Touched on a lot of stuff I liked a lot. I liked how to see how chloe was treated by others. Liked the scene where they act in a play. Liked their fucked up codependent situationship.... I liked how awkward chloe was as a baby and how clear which parts she ended up stealing from rachels personality in LIS1 were... the nightmare scenes are so so chilling and well done I feel like. I can really feel chloes pain in them. I liked her journal and how unlike maxs theyre all unsent letters to a max that resides in her head... bah... I really like so much about bts I didnt evenget into all of it. Like LIS1 it was janky I suppose and maybe in different ways from it but I like it. Altho im rly critical of it most fo the time and share a lot of the feelints some LIS1 fans have

[comradeboyhalo]

sometimes i kinda wish the admins would sub in earlier, when the parents stream, so bad isnt stuck doing the sunday round up. i get that its super hard to coordinate schedules especially now, but if 06 or 02 subbed for chayanne on a day phil was streaming, i think itd be better for everyone. leo is a bit different bc im pretty sure that was more unplanned but if the admins knew foolish couldnt have streamed sunday (idk if they did) maybe they couldve organized a sub saturday.

idk just a thought! bads been taking care of eggs sunday for a few weeks now and i think there could be some work arounds to allow the parents to be able to do so instead. i know its all chill, i just think itd be better if it wasnt so last minute

[idcpxseur]

for the ask game, 3?

3. which character do you think you deserve better? which caracter do you think deserved worse?

oh!!! okok!! i have a list here we go

deserved better

laurence. he is absolutely at the top of his list. whether in mcd or mystreet, laurence was one of the biggest characters who got absolutely mishandled. like youre telling me you make this cute, badass loyal dude who just suddenly up and dips to the nether????? what is that???? and in mystreet you reduce him to some kinda freaky stalker and then sideline his character?

garroth. because while garroth did not get sidelined what they did to his character is absolutely atrocious. mcd garroth is quiet, well-spoken, and shows his kidness subtly. while garroth in myst. is. not that. and absolutely dont get me twisted i love myst garroth. hes a silly man doing silly man things but by god they reduced his character to ash

kai. i know we hardly see kai but he deserved more than being reduced to minor villian #79 because he didnt like aphmau. if i had written pdh, i wouldve just completely done away with the date. because kais reasons for not liking her romantically were totally valid (not to mention i believe he was a senior which again. is weird. is so so weird). i think kai wldve been a cool background character that aphmau could talk to occasionally because hes just a cool dude. hes chill and funny and gave genuinely good advice. plus we dont see a lot of mei'fwa aside from kc and michi and i think it wouldve been cool to see more of that lore built up

now dont crucify me but ein. BEFORE EVERYONE GRABS THE TORCHES AND PITCHFORKS: im not saying that ein cant be a villian im just saying make him a BETTER one? because in my eyes his motivations are stupid. youre telling me he was upended my aaron in highschool and hes held a grudge ever since? for like 10 years? and i know he was manipulated but still bro get a JOB. not to mention the weird incesty crush they tried to retcon later. i think ein couldve been a cool villian if he went full incognito. no one, not even the audience, thinks hes a villian. he comes back into myst as an adult and apologizes. we think hes on their side until BOOM. betrayal. but even so i really wish he wasnt a villian because ein in pdh s2 was freaking adorable. he was shy and awkward and just a lil dork and it was refreshing to see that because every male character in aphmau is kind of big and bold so it was nice to see an outwardly shy character

deserved worse

gene. think im gonna get hatecrimed for this one but gene in myst was overall ✨unnecessary✨ aside from providing cheap tension to be resolved in a single episode. dont get me wrong. i love myst gene. love him to bits and pieces and crumbles. but what does he contribute to the plot? like actually?

aaron. i think its an overall general take that aaron got everything that the other characters didnt. which SUCKS. im going to ignore all of the weird other shit around his character and focus only on his character. hes a cool character. level headed, rational, loyal but still has his silly moments. but they tried so hard to make him some sorta tragic baddass. watching myst in order was like whiplash. like BOOM. SUDDENLY AARON IS AN HEIR TO A BIGASS COMPANY AND BOOM. FOREVER POTIONS AND BOOM. ULTIMA. AND BOOM HES DEAD. AND BOOM. HES ALIVE AGAIN. like huh????

pretty much every other character is a victim of writing slander in some ways but these ones eithee grind my gears or make me roll my eyes.

thank you for the ask anon, love u <3

[yomiurinikei]

hibiki for the ask meme (annie)

I TYPED ALL THIS UP FOREVER AGO THEN. never uploaded it. it’s just been in my drafts.

cw for mentions of the god awful ship (not /pos and it’s not brought up by name) + brief mentions of her canon trauma and my desire for it to be handled differently (not in depth/explicit)

everything after this read more was written forever ago i don’t even really recall what’s there i just skimmed it for cws

hi annie!!!!! we have the same brain huh (both asked for biki..)

my identity hc for them

just a little girl. uhhhh ya okay. obligatory 'this is an au where things were. not good but Better' disclaimer, im gonna handle this whole post under the context of. i do what i want and what i want is for hibiki to be okay. she's still a system just because of abuse at the hands of her parents which was exacerbated by kanade being toxic. not uh. yeah.

aaaanyways. she's very nonbinary to me!!! i think she likes like.. all the labels. nonbinary trans genderqueer and one hundred million thousand microlabels. she prolly rbs a ton of incoherent "i am like if a bead rolled underneath a industrial refrigerator before eventually being sucked up into a vacuum, slipped out of the garbage onto the ground where it slowly sunk into the earth was a girl but also not a girl" posts.

also i think she's questioning her sexuality/how she experiences attraction but she like. loves loves having qpps. to her its like... a great sign of friendship but also she wants to signify that shes very close with a lot of people. its a high honor but not a rare one to receive. her relationship with it is just like. i have someone who is very dear to me but without any sort of romantic or familial connotations how lovely and cool this is, how happy it makes me <3. she's just chilling!!!

Thoughts on their home life/family

ooogh. okay. actually i never included this in the ask meme. mm,,, how do i want to handle this. hm. i thiiink.. hibiki and kanade deserve some time to be estranged from each other. obvi this is again, within how i choose to write them. so i dont think this will be a relatable take. buuuut yeah. sometimes the best thing for siblings is to not be siblings for a bit. if anyone asks they just share a last name but have no relation. i think that would be good

i have a very normal relationship with my siblings (<- only child who used to be a younger sibling. that is what i am choosing.)

How i feel about their canonical writing/handling

mmmm,, she is so so so fucking system and i really wish she belonged to anyone but linuj. do u guys remember when i said hm maybe the otono twins were abused by their parents and thats why kanade took control of the situation by hurting the one person she could who would always have to be around her? and then a few months later linuj was like oh kanade is just born evil shes inherently bad because i think thats fun and cool^^ ? i remember. i remember very well.

i think,, hibiki was just ultimately underused. and like. it sucks and was bullshit what happened but also i Understand it within what it did narratively. even if i think linuj kinda dicked up the way it couldve affected the tone of the game. buuut. really the largest disservice that happened was like. the way she ultimately had no agency. according to linuj, no matter what, kanade would be Like That, and hibiki would get hurt, and the end. im not saying what happened to her was her fault, thats not what i mean when i say she has no agency, i mean. there was no in universe reason for what happened, not at the end of the day. she was doomed from conception in and out of universe and it just sucks and makes her feel flat because u cant even go what if not without completely ignoring the way linuj writes a wholeass character. hoping that all makes sense?

buuut yeah. tldr. she couldve been vv well written and handled well, even with her ultimate fate staying the same. but by admitting there's absolutely no way hibiki could have made it out okay, not even a "well, the cards would never line up like this, but if x had happened, and then y, then kanade would've fucked off", but making it that no matter what, kanade is gonna do what she did. it just kinda leaves a bad taste about things

The one thing i’d want to make canon about them

she actually is a person who exists outside of what kanade did <3. yes she has that puppet state sure whatever but also she's part of a system and has alters and one of them is "puppet state" but the others have hopes and desires and likes and etc etc.

My number one favorite ship for them

going off earlier, just assume all these ships are qpps <3! her and setsuka have a really fun relationship. cop out answer but ya know

…Now everyone else i ship with them

i like sora and hibiki!

The thing i will NEVER ship

ignoring the Obvi. i can’t think of anyone? again using ships here to mean like. hibiki having bestie-isms, i think she’s p shippable. she’s fun and friend shaped!

a dynamic/relationship i wish was explored more (in canon, or in fandom)

uhhh i agree w/you she and nikei would be silly. they deserve to be character who is like :D but is then like D:< together.

thoughts on their design (appearance-wise)

hair so pretty eyes so pretty. kinda weird colors

A music-related thought- a song that reminds me of them, or what their music taste is, etc

dreamin chuchu always makes me think of her i cannot explain why

[just-some-random-blogger]

part 2 for meow love! 'so nada is dream’s first love' OH nice to learn abt her finally. 'dream we cant be together im sorry i was stupid pls let me go this is bad' cant really judge her. its probably scary to learn that smn youre connected with is... nothing normal and nothing you know about. and pity for dream... hope hell get some love. well this rock thing... is so desperate... feel so bad for her. and its kinds cute (bc oh <зhe doesnt care<з/sarc) but REALLY creepy of dream to still want her to be his queen when shed done THIS to get rid of him.. 'so they make love on top of the mountain' ok i have some questions for the author... well now you have all the right to only sympathise with him bc they said it doesnt matter hes been creepy. (dont take all my words seriously in the first meaning). 'THEN FUCKING BURNS NADA’S ENTIRE VILLAGE' 🤡🤡🤡 . idk whats going on. just remember that i dont know any of them and have no (0) feelings about the characters and the events. 'its cold hard reality the people have to suffer for their rulers’ mistakes' understand like nothing else... its kinda difficult to speak abt the other century bc i know what and why and morality was different but i want to say what i think now with me own experience but dont want to repeat that its only how i feel... they all are so fucked. 'CRYING FUCK then jumps of the cliff and dies' ghdjdd sorry but it sounds amusing to me. reasonable 100%. 'theyre dead youre dead just be with dream forgetting that guilt exists' yeah i thought about it too. like you can do nothing for them now? so what? so punish yourself for them? it has no meaning. BUT also dream? man chill down pls TT yeah she betrayed you, thats all, just hate her peacefully and have good fluffy dreams lol.

and pity for dream... hope hell get some love.

T_T yes and therapy

well this rock thing... is so desperate... feel so bad for her. and its kinds cute (bc oh <зhe doesnt care<з/sarc) but REALLY creepy of dream to still want her to be his queen when shed done THIS to get rid of him..

HAHHAHAHAHAHAH ITS FINE ITS JUST LIKE HAHAHAHAHAHAH ???? WHYYYYY>???????

'its cold hard reality the people have to suffer for their rulers’ mistakes' understand like nothing else... its kinda difficult to speak abt the other century bc i know what and why and morality was different but i want to say what i think now with me own experience but dont want to repeat that its only how i feel... they all are so fucked.

eat the rich and powerful

'CRYING FUCK then jumps of the cliff and dies' ghdjdd sorry but it sounds amusing to me. reasonable 100%.

NAH HAHAHH IT IS KIND OF FUNNY HAHAHAHAHAHA COS REAL HAHAHAHAH T_T

'theyre dead youre dead just be with dream forgetting that guilt exists' yeah i thought about it too. like you can do nothing for them now? so what? so punish yourself for them? it has no meaning.

BUT also dream? man chill down pls TT yeah she betrayed you, thats all, just hate her peacefully and have good fluffy dreams lol.

FACT but he be petty 😩

'of course i still love you BUT i stilll havent forgiven you' what sex on top of the mountain does to men.... as ever, i judge everyone. she couldve done better, he couldve done LOTS of different things. but ok. it is as it is.

i love him... i really think i do. and its healthy!! god, its so healthy. he truly respects me and cares for me. he frequently compliments me or flirts with me. he's so understanding of who i am and some of the trauma responses i have (and am working on). im not afraid to be myself around him. i dont feel scared to at all... usually, ill show myself to people, but im walking on eggshells while i do it at the same time. im more chaotic than i can seem here.... im like a chaotic-chill, i guess.

ive never felt more whole.

and he trusts me. HE TRUSTS MEEEE. and whenever i tell him things from the past, he doesnt try to fix it or give me advice unless i ask for it, which is smth else i also love. sometimes when im talking about something, i just want to me heard and validated, you know? and he does that. he has a pretty good home life, and school is good for the most part (now)... so whenever i open up to him abt smth or make a joke out of trauma i have, he'll usually say "you seem like you need a hug" or "your life is so sad, im so sorry". i guess the second statement can seem like an insult, but its true.

im starting to come to terms with the fact that yes, almost every single memory i have of the past [age] years of my life is sad. i didnt grow up in a good home, school was shit. compared to him and MANY other people, i had a shit childhood. yes, it couldve been worse, BUT ITS NOT A COMPETITION. it was bad for me!! it negatively affected me... therefore, it was bad.

things are getting better, and i hope that i start getting better at talking. i know ive said that before, but i rlly do hope i get better at it.

also i will not see him for a week because our boss scheduled us completely opposite shifts and didnt give us the same day off and im going to cry!!!!!!!!!!!

quick thoughts on every song on rock star except theyre maybe not that short???

megaverse: like hall of fame to me in that its a fucking amazing intro song that couldve been the title track and every single time i listen to either song i am ascending. just SO fucking good???? exactly what i expected but even better and omg omg i go insane when this song comes on like thank youuuuu 3racha 💕💕💕

lalalala: it's just. so stray kids. parts remind me of gods menu others of sclass (w sclass i think its the fact that when you think youre getting the chorus again youre Not and it slays) everything fits together so well and just yeah my brain is gonna go just feeeeel the rock for forever now

blind spot: SO different drom both lalalala and megaverse but??? i love it??? like cmon dont you wanna shining! we are! the champions! dying! to live! for greatness!

comflex: it's a skz song w sirens so either get it or you just dont and i Do ! i just love the noisiness 😌 i knew i was gonna love this song from the very second it played a bit in the mashup video and it did not disappoint at all (might be one of my faves if you forced me to pick less than all songs on the album)

cover me: ok so like. idk if it's just me but skz is one of very few groups that manage to still make slower more ballad-y songs very like idk engaging and not boring? that being said. omggggg their vocalssss 😭💕

leave: sooo chill and i love it!!! idk abt the lyrics obviously but it sorta gives off ex vibes imo but also not idk gjsvckdvfj

social path korean ver: it's social path aka a very good song but this time with like three lines in korean instead of three lines in japanese gksgfksgdj i love this song in every versionnnnn

lalalala rock ver: HOLY SHIT. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. they really werent lying w that like mood categorization of the rock version like omfgggggg it's perfect and as someone who like listened to loads of rock and stuff before becoming a kpoppie this is the best thing that has ever happened to me okay. also i Need a full rock album from skz like yesterday now 💕 oh and xh should cover this 💕

in conclusion yet another 10/10 album imo

[naberiuz]

been to tokyo disney sea twice and here i shall provide a 100% objective review of the rides ive been through

journey to the center of the earth - 8/10

all the articles will describe it as the best ride, i think that's fair but the score is knocked down 2 points because of the 1 hour wait. buy a fast pass if u want to go the 2nd time

20000 leagues under the sea - 8/10

really neat. line is shorter than journey to the center. buuut...the former is decidedly better for me. i do get why other people find this as the best tho

indiana jones - 7/10

journey to the center is objectively better but this has like nearly the same wait time. pretty fun.

raging spirits - 6/10

some articles describe this as the best ride, i disagree. its only rated high because of the 360 degree loop. if u want to ride a roller coaster, ride a REAL one. not worth the 1 hr wait.

(also couldve been more creative with kuzco references)

sinbad's storybook voyage - 10/10

TRUST IN THE COMPASS OF YOUR HEART!!!

underrated af ride, the actual ride is LONGER than the wait (5-15 minutes)

go here at least twice. maybe thrice.

mickey mouse big band beat - 7/10

was pretty fun. you dont have to wait at all, just go in when the show starts. unless you want the front seats then yeah you should come early, but imo the back seats are fine.

venetian gondola ride - 6/10

i dunno, it was much better the last time i went...

others were not worth mentioning soo...yeah.

i personally would just go to journey to the center of the earth twice (one using fast pass), sinbad storybook thrice, indiana jones once, 20k leagues once and then chill out while waiting for the night parade/light show. and DONT go on weekends and public holidays (we made that mistake).

420 day

Its always been a norm in the past that id get a whole bunch of wishes from random folks in life to "blaze it up" on 420 cause well - its cause many ppl think I smoke weed for whatever reason. Its always for the same reason citing "oh u look too chill all the time. I thought u MUST smoke a lot to be that chill. Dude youre like a walking ambient"

Meh thats up for debate bcause God only knows what sh*tstorm is brewing inside my head in spite of the calm idc facade

Its also coincidentally the same day that theyll find out that I actually dont? I used to not care about correcting ppl much about whichever lifestyle they attribute me to based on their judgement, because I favoured ambiguity

But now, yeah I do care actually to set some records straight.

- not because I owe it to anybody to explain how I live, Shariah compliant or not mind u

- also not because im better than anybody or tht im doling out judgement about anybodys lifestyle. I sincerely dont care about that. Never did. U do u, brah.

- because its 1 of those few things I actually have a control over in terms of lifestyle? N it takes some effort too. Id like to think that I have this tiiiiny bit of control over myself n what I choose to be

N I mean this in the most humbling way possible, its just tht when I look back at my lifestyle since becoming a young adult, n man oh mannn theres a lot that I did not choose. A lot that I couldnt change, but wish I couldve.

Simply said, the lifestyle CHOSE me, not the other way around n regret that as I may, I was beyond powerless for the most part. Which is humbling.

It was frustrating n certainly a cause for great sorrow at times, but yeah humbling nonetheless. In particular, im referencing to a lifestyle thats deeply rooted in sex lah.

Like I have no issue with the act itself, but its been a great struggle trying to draw up boundaries n COMMUNICATE them. Often times, ppl will violate you, disrespect you, have zero regards over your privacy, personal space, everything really. Its this huuuuge thing that ties everything together, but its also a very taboo subject to be open about in society.

Try navigating n balancing all tht while still trying to understand your own identity, the world, n at the same time having this influx of ppl throwing themselves at u almost everywhere u go.

Try not fcking it up.

*cringe*

Yeah...

- no hate whatsoever to anybody who chooses any kind of lifestyle tho. More power to you!
