i love coming out of an everything shower and smelling of cocoa and hibiscus and using moroccanoil on my hair and putting on a perfume that smells of jasmine and using a rose toner and doing all my silly little skincare before getting into bed to watch a comforting movie :'))

i have a confession to make

[sugarfortia]

I have yet to play all the way through Act 6, but I started thinking about the tragedy that is Loop and can't stop. More thoughts below, probably major ISAT spoilers.

Can you imagine waking up one day with no name, no language, no home, no family? Having to rebuilding all those basic things, piece by piece, just to be able to continue on. Eventually, you find yourself with something so dear you would trade the world for it. Then, slowly but surely, it's being taken from you. Your family, your memories. You struggle to keep it, but it isn't enough. You fail, again and again, one step forward met with two steps back.

Inevitably, you lose it all. You are left only with things that serve as a harsh reminder that once again, you can never go back. You can never have them back. You can never have you back, at least not in a way that matters. The universe trudges on, unwilling and unable to look back.

All this to say, the idea of Loop being able to rebuild themselves and their life means a lot to me. Twin souls, one leading the other back into the sun. Is this anything.

You know, the reason why I'm sceptical over communities on Tumblr is because I think the issue is not how it was lacking in a community feature but how there seems to be a lack of a community mindframe for a lot of the userbase. There's only so much you can do when a lot of people have devolved into only ever using likes rather than actually getting in touch with others -- and there's only so much conversation you can withstand when every new addition equates to reblogging a post in full and potentially annoying your followers with "walls of text" (since, let's be real, this isn't a text-forward website)...

microdosing on killing myself by reading eruri fic exclusively for three days straight

[trans-leek-cookie]

the ending of i saw the tv glow fucked me up because in a meatphor sense she's going to spend the rest of her life in misery because she was too afraid to embrace her true self. her happy self. and in a literal sense she's LITERALLY being buried alive which is like top 100 fears of mine and the fact her inhaler stopped working which is like. the sign that she's losing oxygen kept me up at night. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAA

Ourgh yeah the burying alive is. Fucked up if real! But personally I've said before but I do see the ending as not Great but at least hopeful, I think even if she doesn't accept herself right away she's going to at least try to like, find people who can help her, because she is screaming for help at the end, even if no one responds. And that's much better than suffering in silence. At least, that's if you assume her life outside the Pink Opaque is real in some way, which tbh I do. I think even if she were to bury herself like Tara, it wouldn't perfectly put her in Isabel's body, and she wouldn't be young again. Idk I'll say that I think the world of ISTTVG is supernatural and sitting within unreality rather than full fantasy, and neither The Pink Opaque or "Real Life" is fully true. I think they blur together one way or another

:0 what are the sections in ur percy playlist? (<- wants to know what images to microwave in their head at what times when listening to it)

okay uhh so (this will be the masterpost for it for the time being)

songs i would slap a "this is percy's theme song" label onto if i could: dust bowl dance -> when murder entered my heart

start of briarwood arc: darkside -> first death

orthax: broken bones -> the hearse

cass/revenge quest regrets: violet -> kamado tanjiro no uta

post-briarwood arc: villains, pt 2 -> half-decade hangover

vex, pt 1/sunken tomb: englishman in new york -> the manic

raven queen: little big boy -> vivid vice

ripley/glintshore: bullets -> rip to my youth

keyleth/resurrection: about sophie(*) -> best friends

vox machina/found family: fightsong(**) -> hope of morning

vex, pt 2/"living on far past the point you thought you'd die": frankenstein -> winter winds

(*) about sophie is tragically not on spotify please just imagine it's there because it's one of The percy and keyleth songs to me

(**) fightsong (from the vm section) and in the backroom (from the ripley section) have the og japanese versions on the playlist itself, but lyrics wise the ones that specifically apply to percy are the english covers by trickle, which change the translations slightly to make the song flow. go check them out if u want they're pretty good!

If the Loki writers absolutely had to have an unnecessary romance baked into the plot and weren’t cowards, they would’ve paired Loki and He Who Remains together.

He could’ve made it to the Citadel at like the beginning of episode 5 and had more time to build a dynamic between just the two of them- whatever dynamic it would’ve been.

And then that would solidify Loki a major role in the Kang storyline in the main mcu, because in addition to being the one to open the multiverse (sylvie doesn’t exist in this au shh) he’d have an emotional history with the only “good” variant of him.

honestly... ik I'm talking about irrelevant shit but the WHOLE thing about lana del rey's mask is a fucking fever dream tbh. you're telling me a woman in her 30s in the midst of a global pandemic didn't think of ANY other mask that would have been better to wear besides a sheer mesh one. you're telling me one of the most notable pop stars of the past decade couldn't think of anything that would have screamed 🎀💋🪞💄👠Lana👠💄🪞💋🎀 besides a mesh mask that didn't look functional at all. as if there was no way to make a Normal Mask fit her style with a print/pattern or a signature or something. as if her fans wouldn't have instantly recognized her from the bridge of the nose up anyway. you're telling me she then claimed that "plastic was sewn under it a lot of stylists are doing it" as if 1. light wouldn't have reflected on the plastic under the mask/it wouldn't have fogged up with her breath 2. she would have been able to breathe at all with a mask of just. straight up plastic over her mouth and nose (and if somehow they made the plastic have enough holes to breathe through then why didnt they just go with a normal mask that can already be breathed through instead of going through the trouble of finding a kind of breathable plastic which probably didn't function as a means of COVID prevention anyway) 3. it most likely never ONCE occurred to her or her stylist(s) that even if it somehow was functional it may have been a bad idea to go out in peak pandemic with a mask that clearly did not look at all like it actually worked... I am vexed

my parents are selling their house and i'm dealing with it so rationally and maturely btw. the 73 pictures i just took are completely unrelated to my fears of change and forgetting the little bits of memory that made this home
