Important announcement, please read

Mun speaking: Hey guys, I'm posting this now since I'm seeing that a lot of you are online so maybe you'll see and read this. I just want to let you know that I am honestly NOT doing okay at all emotionally speaking. I've been actually hurting deeply for quite some time and due to recent events, I have finally hit rock bottom and just can't take this anymore: Thing is that lately I've started to feel extremely unwanted and unloved by the community and that my relevance on here has dropped to nothing (best proof being my activity stats that dropped to under 10 notes on more than one occasion these past few days and maybe weeks), soo I guess the haters were right, in the end I am nothing but a boring person with an even more boring character.

And it's okay, you don't have to lie to try to make me feel better, because I just know it's true and even if I tried to be strong, I just can't do it anymore. There were more factors that contributed to this and I'll try to briefly explain them:

First of all, no one reaches out to me to send in stuff outside of memes and no one wants to talk to me, except 2-3 people with whom I'm mostly only talking about stuff outside of RP anyways. The stuff I usually got in my inbox were just memes that never got feedback or went anywhere and If I disappeared it's clear that no one even noticed, so it means that my presence on here truly is useless, life moves on without me anyways. All my ships are dead, all my threads ignored/forgotten and my inbox is an empty desert.

Then, there were of course the haters. At first I thought they were just a bunch of jealous people, but now I realize they were right, I am just a no one who nobody likes and I am just tired of receiving pity from others, since it won't change a thing. If people truly cared, then they would've proven the haters wrong with concrete action, but since no one did so, it's too late to change the facts now.

And lastly, what hurt most, was the way I was treated by those I saw as friends, who just decided to just abandon me one day without any further notice. I won't name names, but just know that what you did truly hurt me because I trusted you and I cherished you! Yeah, I am not perfect, I make mistakes, but I believe that I am entitled to at least one explanation and a 'break-up' note to at least allow me to move on knowing that there's no more hope left for that friendship. Ghosting someone is never the right answer!

With that said (which I am sorry if it came out as mostly bitter, but I'm emotionally drained completely), I've decided to retire from the RP community, since it's became literally painful seeing the dashboard go on given the current circumstances. This acc won't be gone, I'll keep it for memory's sake and to maybe post artwork related to Kukki and her friends from time to time, make memes and chat with the Muns I am still close with. In regards to the all-mad-hare's event, I will still deliver my entry since the sketch is almost done and I am very pleased with the result, but I just wanted to let you guys know that I will stop using this acc for role-playing because I just can't go on like this anymore. There's no pain worse than feeling horribly alone, despite being surrounded by soo many people. I just don't have any drive or motivation left for writing. It was fun at first while it lasted, but now it's just painful and I'm tired of crying everyday and feeling anxious and stressed whenever I see the dash going on and then remember that no one gives a fuck about me.

With that said, I hope there won't be any hard feelings and know that I still love you guys and so does Kukki, but even the strongest warriors have their limits and this one reached hers.

Wishing you all the best, S

Ner verd'ika. My little soldier (Captain Rex x reader)

Request: Hey love your Rex fics ❤️💜 and I’m wondering if you could do a dad!rex fic and the rest of his brothers being over protective uncles. Requested by @tobitofunction

Words: 1k

The sound of the door opening and little giggles woke you up. You knew he'd be awake early, it was a big day after all. Faking to be still asleep you heard the little boy get closer to you.

"Hey, mom" he whispered carefully poking your cheek with his tiny finger "mom, wake up!" you hummed in response, trying to stop the smirk forming on your lips. "Come on, it's today! It's today!" said your son impatient, shaking your shoulder.

You finally gave up at his excitement and chuckled starting to open your eyes, when you did the first thing you saw was a pretty pair of hazel eyes staring down at you, identical to his father's.

"Come on, get up, we gotta go!" commanded Munin pulling your arm with all his strength trying to get you out of the bed.

You giggled picking him up in your arms and walking towards the kitchen followed of a little "Sir, yes, sir"

Rex was returning to Coruscant today after almost a month in the outer rim and Munin was eager to see his father and so were you.

After getting breakfast and getting ready, you found yourself and your four-year old walking through the GAR base, receiving greetings from other troopers as you passed by, until you reached the hangar where the 501st was supposed to arrive. They were late, again.

Maker, waiting was going to drive the Captain's son crazy, luckily Boil and Waxer offered to help you keep entertain the child meanwhile you helped the 104th to fix an astromech, they had experience with kids after all. Having over a million brothers in law had it's perks.

They played the only game the clones knew, capture the flag. The 212th leaded by Munin, versus the Wolfpack and some other troopers that wanted to play.

"What are your orders, Sir?" questioned Waxer looking down at the tiny boy who seemed very happy with the game.

"Attack!" he yelled raising his little arms in the air.

"You heard him, boys!" and with that the whole hangar became a giant playground full of soldiers running around, faking to fight each other, trying to get to the "enemy's flag " but being careful of not kicking their nephew accidently and getting anything out of his way. They loved the kid. He was part of their family and they would hurt anyone who dared to even laid a finger on one single hair of the little boy.

The 212th won, obviously, they were Munin's team after all.

Finally the 501st made its triumphant entry, making the sound of the motors invade the whole place .

As the gunships entered the hangar you had to stop Munin from running directly to the landing zone, he was so excited, you made him wait until the ships were turned off and it was safe for him.

Once the ship landed and the troopers started to get out of the ship the little boy released himself from your arms and hurried to find his father whom he desperately longed to see. Shaking your head and chuckling you slowly followed your son.

"Daddy! Daddy!" yelled Munin as soon as he spotted Rex.

The man was talking with Skywalker and he turned around at the sound of a little voice screaming, then saw a tiny figure running in his direction. The Captain knelt to embrace his son on his arms, holding him close to his heart.

"How is Ner verd'ika?" my little soldier. He said placing a big kiss on the boy's cheek. "Look at you, Mun, you're as tall as a wookie!" claimed the clone making the boy in his arms bust in laughter.

Rex observed for a moment how much his kid had grown since the last time the captain had seen him and how much he looked like you when he smiled.

"Daddy, I won at flags!" beamed Munin wanting the attention of his dad back.

"You did?" asked Rex impressed owning a happy nod from the child "that's amazing!"

Munin looked over the Captain's shoulder for a second and screamed at what he found.

"Uncle Fives!" And that was it, suddenly your son was getting out of Rex's arms and running to meet his uncle who greeted him with a little "hey, kiddo!"

You chuckled watching the little boy running away from his father and you took the chance to get closer to your husband.

"You are late, Captain" you said in a teasing tone owning a raised eyebrow from the blond man in front of you.

"Well, you can blame it on the General" he added smirking before grabbing your waist to put you closer into a kiss that was soft and slow, full of love, making sure you knew just how much he had missed you.

The high-pitched laugh of Munin made you both follow the sound. Resting your head over Rex shoulder and with his hand around your waist you admired the product of your love happily playing with Fives.

"He missed you" you murmured "I missed you, Rex"

"I missed you too, cyar'ika" he said placing a tender kiss on your forehead "I'm glad to be back he's growing so fast"

"He is, love" you giggled. "He is" you murmured.

You stayed like that for a while, holding each other close and watching how your little son giggled with his uncles. Enjoying every moment of it secretly wishing he would stay like this forever.

Tag list. @ct7567329

Time to announce the next theme!

Ay caramba! What a break! Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays!

Before we announce the outcome, I’d like to say that our posts will come out a little slower. This is to lift the pressure of typing up posts for the blog and whatnot! It’ll also mean more posts to avoid a burnout! Not to mention carpal tunnel is very unhealthy, and typing for long periods of time isn’t either...

This post was quite late, but I hope you don’t quite mind. This has the announcement of the next UTAU theme! Don’t mind the icon. Mod Defoko here was stupid enough to change the icon to the winning UTAU before this post went up, so she had to throw in a placeholder. I’ll stop talking in third person now.

There were only a few entries this time, unfortunately... But hopefully we’ll get more as the days go by!

Without further ado, I shall now announce the winner of the theme!

The new theme is set to be centered around UTAU Coraline Sahimura, created by Cutila-Mun!

The blog’s theme has already been adjusted to match this UTAU! However, this also now means that Coraline Sahimura is now disqualified from any future theme pulls due to already having been pulled.

On another note, we’d like to have Cutila-Mun message if they do not feel comfortable with their art being used for the blog’s theme! The theme will be rerolled, if that is the case!

Please do not fret if your submission did not get pulled! There’s always going to be another chance next month. Who knows? Perhaps yours will be pulled next!

That is all for this post today! Your regular schedule of UTAU feature posts shall continue sometime soon.

Until then, toodle loo~

Can I have like... the whole relationships building meme for Hanryou plz?

RELATIONSHIP BUILDING || @sonxflight || accepting (part 1)

Send ⭐️ (or multiple) for a headcanon about our muses.

In their relationship, nonsexual touch is such a frequented gift. Hugging, especially for them is a connection that is deep and bonding. They both are huggers, and for them, touch = love. To feel touch with another human is to feel connected, seen, validated, and loved. Hanzo couldn’t fathom to be away from not being touched again, for entire energetic system resets, recalibrates, and loses the gift of momentum when he’s absent from such sensation. After just a single afternoon of embrace, fully clothed and not directly sexual, his MOJO could be quick to return in some fundamental way. Some core function of his soul, his happiness, resonates with Ryou, and Hanzo would be once again recharged in a way that he had not been, since he lost that precious, exquisite touch with Harumi.

Send ☎ for your muse’s info in my muses phone (name, ringtone, picture, last text received/sent).

Name: Ryou Sakai, aka [くそったれ] Ringtone: Poets of the Fall - Someone Special Picture:

Last text received: from Ryou [くそったれ] : How would you feel if I smacked your tits back? Last text sent: to Ryou [くそったれ] : It’s not as pliant as your ass, but I dig your fucking infatuation with my tits.

Send 🎼 for a song that reminds me of our muses.

Daughtry - World on Fire

Going down like a dead man walking One step from a body in a coffin Just one, one of the fallen Waking up to a blood moon, howling Can't drown it out, even with the medicine Tearing through me like a bullet of adrenaline Arms heavy, face down on a death bed Blame the gods while choking on the violence In the end, silence is deafening

Send 👋 for three things that describe our muses relationship.

👋 Soulmates: While a lot of these examples of romance tropes have to do with two people slowly realizing their feelings for one another, the Destined To Be Together involves couples who know right from the start that they are in love. Their intense immediate bond is what maintains their resolve that they’re meant to be together while the universe, typically, conspires to separate them.

👋 The Second Chance at Love: They have been deeply hurt in the past, and have spent years avoiding any kind of romantic relationship. Now they will meet and learn to give love another chance. This is a hopeful trope that readers enjoy because it enforces the theme that “it’s never too late.”

👋 Back-To-Back Badasses: When two people are completely surrounded, outnumbered and outgunned, by simply coming together and having their backs against each other, they are suddenly much more capable. Usually involves a lot of spinning and may lead to Radial Ass-Kicking. The fully realized fight scene of this image is the Bash Brothers. A warrior's most vulnerable area is his back, and by putting their backs together, two warriors can eliminate this disadvantage and turn it into an advantage.

Send 👂 to overhear my muse talking about yours.

“I am wholly satisfied that I’m your entire galaxy and you will never experience euphoric things that excite every part of your body.” A huge smirk, then a grope of Ryou’s ass follows.

Send 👤+ a muse name for my muse’s opinion on that muse (with the other muse/mun’s permission).

“The very fabric of my existence was rewoven because of Ryou’s physical and emotional support, and he becomes so ingrained that he is my constant, regardless of where I would end up.”

Send 😍 for my muse to tell yours three things they love about them.

“His easygoing, down-to-earth persona, uncanny ability to read my mind, and of course, his ass.”

Send 💤 for my muse to say something about yours in their sleep.

“Your ass is on fire!”

Send 📖 for my muse to read out an entry in their journal/diary about yours.

It’s hard trying to fall asleep; it’s a juggle of keeping my mind distracted enough to fall asleep before the thoughts of my mind leaves me hollow and my eyes flinging open to stop it. How the truth of my loneliness unfurls, ceaselessly seizing the wind, bearing me against the current. I could never escape from thinking about you, for you follow me to this day, for every brutal handprint staining already blood reddened mark on my being had been touched by you and no one fucking dares me to probe the hard exoskeleton of my being. How you effortlessly render me malleable.

Send ✉ for a written letter from my muse.

Ryou,

Loneliness is such a dangerous thing, for everyone knows there are forms of cruelty which can injure a man’s life without injuring his body. They are such as deprive me of a certain form of food, necessary to the life of the soul. As the starved roots will wither and rot, rootlessness and homelessness robs me the sense of belonging. Perhaps I wasn’t meant to be migratory as I have thought I’d be. It’s not stemmed from having the feeling of having an existence that is not meaningful or fruitful, but turning to exclusionary groups in the squadron, which only increases the feelings of alienation and rootlessness.

Who am I, after all, drifting without a background against me? My recognitions does not speak much when the criminality of my past has been resurfaced through the uprising of the syndicate that had once gone defunct. The viciousness of memory is such a terrible gift and this wasn’t mine to begin with. I don’t think I can do this alone, Ryou, I need you with me on this. Whether I risk myself being burned under the inferno and of course, I am dragging you to be burst in the flames and spill unneeded blood as well. But you are the only one I have, and I need to summon all the buried courage in me to face this, and I can’t do it alone.

I need you in this with me, take the quickest flight up to Boston and meet me there in the morning.

Send📱for a voicemail my muse left yours.

Agent Sakai? Hello, this is Dr. Anderson of Massachusetts General Hospital. You were listed as Commander Hasashi’s closest kin. He was involved in a botched mission, and thankfully, his brain injury could be dealt in the most urgent manner. It is my understanding that you are still on flight when you receive this, and Commander Hasashi has been conscious even when he was admitted, but he was in a lot of pain, so we put him under with an appropriate dose of morphine. Please contact us asap and make your way here.

Eurovision 2019 my top 41 after show

Hello!!! And welcome to another episode of this ESC top series, and we go to May 14, 16 and 18, when the 64th edition of the contest was held in Tel Aviv after Netta’s victory in Lisbon. Before the live shows I posted a provisional top and many things have changed so I’ll mark them. Sadly we had to say goodbye to Bulgaria and Ukraine because they withdrew, Bulgaria because of financial reasons and Ukraine because of some problems regarding the selection of the artist (MARUV NOOOOOOOO, still hurts). The winner this edition was The Netherlands with Duncan Laurence and the song Arcade, making this the 5th time they won the contest and the first one after 44 years!!! So let’s go in this musical adventure.

1st Place: THE NETHERLANDS/Duncan Laurence-Arcade (Real Placing: 1st-498 points) (Before the show: 1st place)

I think I manage to guess the winners in odd years, and ladies and gentleman, THIS IS SUPERB, the perfect winner for this year, simply staged, beautiful performance, stunning voice and Duncan is such a cute person, and I’m so happy this won this year, and what a win!!!!!

2nd Place: ITALY/Mahmood-Soldi (Real Placing: 2nd-472 points) (Before the show: 4th place)

SOLDI SOLDI *CLAP CLAP*. Simply one of the best songs this year, this has a lot of quality and it would’ve been an amazing winner, the music is so unique and beautiful and also the lyrics are amazing, maybe the performance wasn’t as spectacular as I thought it would be but it works.

3rd Place: SWITZERLAND/Luca Hänni-She got me (Real Placing: 4th-364 points) (Before the show: 2nd place)

AAAAAAAA FINALLY THEY FINISHED TOP 5 AAAAAAAAAA. I’m so glad because this is one of my fave songs this year and it deserved top 3 tbh, also the staging is so amazing, he managed to deliver an amazing performance while dancing and I enjoyed every piece of this performance. GO SWITZERLAND.

4th Place: AZERBAIJAN/Chingiz-Truth (Real Placing: 8th-302 points) (Before the show: 3rd place)

Whoa, this was lifted to the sky with the performance, Chingiz has an amazing voice and the song itself is very good, it’s catchy, enjoyable and it worked so well at the end, a very good result for them after 5 years of not so great results.

5th Place: ALBANIA/Jonida Maliqi-Ktheju tokës (Real Placing: 17th-90 points) (Before the show: 5th place)

I can’t describe how crazy I’m about this song, her voice is something awesome, the music is epic, and this was stunning, the staging was simple yet effective and I can’t believe it finished very low, I hope Albania keeps sending quality entries like this and Mall.

6th Place: ICELAND/Hatari-Hatrið mun sigra (Real Placing: 10th-232 points) (Before the show: 6th place)

The power this song has is amazing, and the performance is so enchanting and mesmerizing, time passes and I enjoy this song more and more, maybe this is what my life needed, this is an epic song and I’ll always remember this, and it’s a good song when you feel angry.

7th Place: SPAIN/Miki-La venda (Real Placing: 22nd-54 points) (Before the show: 11th place)

ARE YOU SERIOUS THIS FINISHED 22ND???? EUROPE PLS, this was the perfect way to close the show and I was expecting this a bit higher, Miki’s voice was way better than in OT and he carried a fiesta on stage, it deserved like 10 more places.

8th Place: MALTA/Michela-Chameleon (Real Placing: 14th-107 points) (Before the show: 8th place)

The best Maltese entry in years and it finished outside the top 10? Maybe she wasn’t very energetic on stage but everything else was so good, her singing improved from the semi and maybe performing first wasn’t the best idea, still a very good song.

9th Place: POLAND/Tulia-Fire of love (Pali się) (Real Placing: 11th SF1-120 points) (Before the show: 7th place)

WHY EUROPE WHYYYYYYYYY, NOOOOOOOO. This was so good and deserved the final, they were amazing, on point and it was a nice performance, this had a lot of energy and it will remain as one of my fave entries in recent years, I never stop listening to this.

10th Place: NORWAY/KEiiNO-Spirit in the sky (Real Placing: 6th-331 points) (Before the show: 9th place)

NORDIC REALNESS SERVED IN THIS SONG, and I’m so glad this did better than people thought, they sing well together and I enjoy the jojk part so much, this is everything I like in a modern schlager ethno Nordic song, and I’m so happy they won the televote <3

11th Place: NORTH MACEDONIA/Tamara Todevska-Proud (Real Placing: 7th-305) (Before the show: 18th place)

CONGRATULATIONS NORTH MACEDONIA!!!!!!! You finally broke the barrier of the 12th place, and with a hell of a song, Tamara is such a wonderful singer and when she got her 12 points she was so surprised, but with this performance you can understand her placing, also I loved the dress (unpopular opinion) A well deserved score and well done finally NM!!!!

12th Place: AUSTRALIA/Kate Miller-Heidke-Zero Gravity (Real Placing: 9th-284 points) (Before the show: 36th place)

Where is my clown wig? Remember when I said I didn’t like this entry, it took me 3 months to like it kskkskks, Kate is such an amazing singer, the staging surprised me so much and it’s beautiful, I really thought she was flying around the world, Australia, I’m so sorry for mistreating you before.

13th Place: RUSSIA/Sergey Lazarev-Scream (Real Placing: 3rd-370 points) (Before the show: 10th place)

Again Sergey Lazarev finished 3rd lsskskks, but seriously his voice is very impressive, the staging was nice, and the song is great also, maybe it needed a bit of an oomph or something like the music video but I enjoy this.

14th Place: SWEDEN/John Lundvik-Too late for love (Real Placing: 5th-334 points) (Before the show: 15th place)

Again Sweden delivers a lot of quality on stage, John is such a good singer, his voice is flawless and I love The Mammas, they sound so great, and the staging is perfect for the song, the song is also very good and catchy, another nice entry.

15th Place: ISRAEL/Kobi Marimi-Home (Real Placing: 23rd-35 points) (Before the show: 28th place)

They revamped the song!!!! AND THEY MADE IT 1000 TIMES BETTER, also Kobi’s voice is so stunning and the staging was beautiful, it moved me so much and I thought this was going to score very well, a pretty performance and I hope I can listen more of Kobi in the future.

16th Place: PORTUGAL/Conan Osiris-Telemóveis (Real Placing: 15th SF1-51 points) (Before the show: 16th place)

Another one of the NQ’s that I’ll never forget, maybe the staging wasn’t the right one but Conan’s voice is amazing and the music is hypnotic, it certainly deserved more love.

17th Place: CZECH REPUBLIC/Lake Malawi-Friend of a friend (Real Placing: 11th-157 points) (Before the show: 23rd place)

AWWWWW YEEEEES THEY DID IT AGAIN, this song it’s so wonderful, it puts me in a great mood and they’re so charismatic, I loved the staging and finally they got their first 12 points ever!!!!

18th Place: SLOVENIA/Zala Kralj & Gašper Šantl-Sebi (Real Placing: 15th-105 points) (Before the show: 17th place)

This song is like a trip to another dimension, so calm, intimate, and everything is good and pleasant, I’m so glad this song did it to the final and the performance was so good, it’s one of those songs that’s perfect for a rainy day.

19th Place: GREECE/Katerine Duska-Better love (Real Placing: 21st-74 points) (Before the show: 14th place)

This song didn’t meet my expectations live, the performance was a bit too much and I was expecting something else, also her vocals were a bit restrained, I’ll stay with the studio version.

20th Place: SERBIA/Nevena Bozović-Kruna (Real Placing: 18th-89 points) (Before the show: 26th place)

STUNNING!!!! Her voice is so good, the staging is beautiful, this is amazing and also she delivers a lot on stage, I missed a good Balkan ballad in the contest, I love the spiral and the smoke with the vents, everything here works perfectly.

21st Place: DENMARK/Leonora-Love is forever (Real Placing: 12th-120 points) (Before the show: 19th place)

Again a very lovely song that I can’t resist to, even if it fell in my top I’ll always like this song, and I was so surprised when this qualified, the performance remained simple and yeah, she sounds great.

22nd Place: SAN MARINO/Serhat-Say na na na (Real Placing: 19th-77 points) (Before the show: 20th place)

San Marino again in the final!!!!! How amazing, and this song will always have a regard for me, even if Serhat wasn’t so good live, this song is catchy, and it makes me happy, i’m so happy for them!!!!

23rd Place: LATVIA/Carousel-That night (Real Placing: 15th-50 points) (Before the show: 22nd place)

Awww this song is lovely, the performance was so intimate and her voice is stunning, also the music is calm and this give me chills, a very guilty pleasure this year.

24th Place: BELGIUM/Eliot-Wake up (Real Placing: 13th SF1-70 points) (Before the show: 21st place)

Another one of the disappointments this year, I was expecting so much more of this one, and the performance was so dull, the outfit, the drums and overall everything was so poor, also he was so nervous, again Belgium, you did it, you crushed my dreams.

25th Place: CYPRUS/Tamta-Replay (Real Placing: 13th-109 points) (Before the show: 12th place)

WHAT’S WITH HER VOCALS AND THIS PERFORMANCE, everything was a big letdown for me and I felt so uncomfortable with her vocals, they weren’t good, at least Eleni slayed her vocals last year but this... is... so disappointing.

26th Place: HUNGARY/Joci Pápai-Az én apám (Real Placing: 12th SF1-97 points) (Before the show: 24th place)

One of the biggest shocks to me is Hungary not qualifying with this beautiful song, the staging was very simple but good and his voice is perfect, so... I’ll never understand why this didn’t qualify.

27th Place: ARMENIA/Srbuk-Walking out (Real Placing: 16th SF2-49 points) (Before the show: 13th place)

What a sad sad performance, this was so empty and she was very nervous, also the running order killed this song, I was expecting so much more and AGAIN THIS IS ARMENIA’S WORST RESULT WHY???

28th Place: ROMANIA/Ester Peony-On a Sunday (Real Placing: 13th SF2-71 points) (Before the show: 27th place)

ARE YOU KIDDING THAT THIS IS ROMANIA’S WORST RESULT???? THIS IS UNFAIR, this song is very very good, and the performance was perfect and flawless, also her voice was on point and... why this didn’t qualify.

29th Place: FRANCE/Bilal Hassani-Roi (Real Placing: 16th-105 points) (Real Placing: 34th place)

A very big leap, even if I don’t dislike the song as much as I did on January, I still think this isn’t special enough, the music is quite generic and Bilal’s vocals are still bad even with the lower key, still the message is very powerful to me and I love the performance.

30th Place: IRELAND/Sarah McTernan-22 (Real Placing: 18th SF2-16 points/last) (Before the show: 29th place)

Oh Ireland, you knew your fate and you tried to save you, but in the end you finished in last place and with a lovely song, pleasant song but sadly this wasn’t going anywhere.

31st Place: BELARUS/ZENA-Like it (Real Placing: 24th-31 points) (Before the show: 25th place)

A very very very suprising qualifier and I was happy, but now I realize I don’t like the live performance and the staging, she sings nice but still everything seems out of place for this song, this was better on studio and in the NF.

32nd Place: MOLDOVA/Anna Odobescu-Stay (Real Placing: 12th SF2-85 points) (Before the show: 31st place)

Whoa Ukraine 2011 2.0 Electric Boogaloo, as I said many times before, I like this song but it’s there, they tried to lift it up and it was a bit ridiculous, also her voice wasn’t on point here.

33rd Place: GEORGIA/Oto Nemsadze-Keep on going (Real Placing: 14th SF1-62 points) (Before the show: 41st place)

This is what I call a revival, the staging was so powerful and his voice here sounds great, even if the song isn’t still my cup of tea, I must admit it has a good message and you can feel it.

34th Place: UNITED KINGDOM/Michael Rice-Bigger than us (Real Placing: 26th-13 points/last) (Before the show: 33rd place)

Poor Michael, another case of a good singer with a mediocre song, and it paid off in the results, another last place for the UK, surely his voice was good but it was so plain... nothing remarkable about it. Never do a two artists-one song NF.

35th Place: CROATIA/Roko-The dream (Real Placing: 14th SF2-64 points) (Before the show: 40th place)

The fact this song rose it’s because the other ones fell a lot. This is way cheesier than a pizza, the angel wings... I thought they would get rid of them, again his voice is good but I can’t stand this song.

36th Place: LITHUANIA/Jurij Veklenko-Run with the lions (Real Placing: 11th SF2-93 points) (Before the show: 32nd place)

Poor Jurij, a victim of the juries mistakes... Anyway this song is pleasant but it’s a bit forgettable, also with the staging I was expecting so much more, his voice is perfect and he’s charming, but he deserved a better song.

37th Place: ESTONIA/Victor Crone-Storm (Real Placing: 20th-76 points) (Before the show: 35th place)

Wow I never thought this would finish so low in my top, my biggest problem here is his voice, in the final he was better but it was a big shock for me when it qualified.

38th Place: MONTENEGRO/D Mol-Heaven (Real Placing: 16th SF1-46 points) (Before the show: 38th place)

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL ON STAGE, oh wait, uhhhhh... yeah... this song is... here... and yeah, FALLIN. There’s nothing else to say about this.

39th Place: FINLAND/Darude ft. Sebastian Rejman-Look away (Real Placing: 17th SF1-23 points/last) (Before the show: 30th place)

The person that decided the staging needs to be fired, everything was so out of place here, also sadly this became a sad EDM song because of the key, and Sebastian wasn’t very good, also what’s with the boots.

40th Place: AUSTRIA/PÆNDA-Limits (Real Placing: 17th SF2-21 points) (Before the show: 37th place)

The only remarkable thing of this song is the performance, is stunning, but the song is very flat, nothing special tbh. Lovely staging though.

41st Place: GERMANY/S!sters-Sister (Real Placing: 25th-24 points) (Before the shows top: 39th place)

If a song begins with a glockenspiel and the words “I’m tired” you can’t expect so much, the performance was so boring, the song is dull and this is just there, nothing special and Germany, did you miss being bottom 5? You had a lot of better songs in Unser Lied, I’m sorry, sorry for the drama.

Some ESC opinions by: me

Me? Being decisive enough to come up with a top 41? It's not as likely as you may think, but here's my favourite songs this year and some opinions on the most popular entries. Under the cut as this is going to be longer than my two final papers combined lol

1. ABSOLUTE FAVES - In no particular order, the songs that I'd have absolutely zero problems with winning this year and which I've listened to more times that it is socially acceptable:

RUSSIA: Underrated in my opinion - it's high in the odds but I don't usually see it high in tops etc. Yes it's a ballad, but it sounds like it could be a soundtrack to a movie and I generally love music like this. Also, unpopular opinion but I prefer this to his 2016 entry.

ITALY: Loved this from the first time I listened to it, as most of my friends who finally agreed for me to show them an esc song :D Very catchy, especially love the verses. Bonus points for relatable lyrics.

ICELAND: Ok when I first listened to this I thought it was extremely weird, and couldn't decide whether I loved it or hated it, but then for some reason I kept coming back to the music video/performance video again and again until I realized I actually loved this. Bonus points as Hatrid mun sigra is my absolute JAM on my way to and from uni. Reykjavik 2020! The only thing that concerns me tho is that it usually takes a while (like it took me) to get used to a new type of music and most of the people who watch ESC don't listen to the songs from before.

2. FAVES - Love them, maybe not as much as my top 3, but that doesn't stop me from listening to most of them every day lol. Again, in no particular order:

AUSTRALIA: I don't get the hate for this song at all! Yes it's weird but I generally like weird songs like this where they mix opera and modern music together. Also, her outfit reminds me of aliens and I love it

MALTA: I loved it from the first time I've listened to it, along with the video clip as it involved at least two (2) parrots lol. Especially love the chorus, although it becomes kinda repetitive towards the end.

NORWAY: Pop AND traditional music together?? Sign me UP! Never fails to make me feel better after studying microbiology until late night

ARMENIA: Such a good song and I love her voice. Especially that part before the last chorus is 10/10

SWEDEN: Ok I was originally going to mention Sweden in my ‘Opinions on popular songs I’m not a big fan of’ category but I've just listened to it again because it's been a while and I can say that I like this a lot, especially the choir at the end! Much better than Sweden's last few entries. Reminds me of 2000s ESC in a good way.

3. HONORABLE MENTIONS - I wouldn't vote for them but I still enjoy them. In no particular order because, again, I can't decide:

BELARUS: This is so early 2000s but that's why I like it :)) It’s nothing special but it’s fun

CYPRUS: I probably like this more than fuego, and I don't really see the similarities between them like everyone's saying, only that the style of music is the same. Both are a bit too pop for my taste, but I still enjoy jamming to replay every now and then.

GERMANY: Another song I really don't get the hate for. It's a bit boring at the beginning but I love the (maybe a bit too) dramatic last chorus, the melody is really good and I've liked it from the first time I've listened to it.

SAN MARINO: Serhat is back with a better song and it looks like he might qualify for the final! Such a fun song with a nice message and reminds me of songs from my childhood for some reason.

ROMANIA: I'm not a very big fan of her hand movements but this song is good, and the chorus is very memorable. Love the hey hey hey parts

4. OPINIONS ON POPULAR SONGS I’M NOT A BIG FAN OF

NETHERLANDS: A good 50% of every top I've seen (and I've seen a lot) has this as their winner and honestly?? I don't really get why, I mean, the last chorus with the violins is amazing but other than that, I'm not a big fan of this, for me it's a nice ballad but nothing more. I have this on my playlist but I usually either skip it or play just the last minute, and tbh I can’t really see it winning the entire contest.

SWITZERLAND: The chorus is very good, but I'm not a fan of the rest and songs like this in general. Wouldn't change it tho if it came randomly on the radio

GREECE: Same as Switzerland, I'd listen to this if it came randomly but not on my own. I really like the last 30 secs of it tho. Also, not a fan of the videoclip at all lol

PORTUGAL: I really enjoy the live performance, love their dancing, but wouldn't listen to this on my free time. Still, bonus points for the originality!

#eurovision #disclaimer lol this is just my opinion #so many good songs this year

Application - Leopold “Butters” Stotch

About the mun!

Name/Nickname: Emily/Elliot

Age: 17

Discord: {Removed for privacy reasons}

Pronouns: Any

Extra: I can take Firkle as backup if he’s needed. Also, I am still in school, so I’m not available 24/7.

About the muse!

Name: Leopold “Butters” Stotch

Gender: GenderFluid

Age: 22

Sexuality: Pansexual

Faction: South Park

Five or more headcanons: ° He tries to stay as close to Kenny as possible, because Kenny is essentially a “safe place” for him. ° He’s very touchy with anyone, and tries to have physical contact whenever possible. This is likely from his parents’ neglect as a child, but who’s to say. ° He has severe depression that will flare up often, but it isn’t apparent to people because he puts on his sunshine boy mask™ all the time. ° A gentle soul, this boy. It’s nearly impossible for him to kill, so he has taken on the role of a medic. He’s quite skilled with herbs and natural medicines, because he’s just so in tune with the earth. ° HIS LEFT EYE IS BLIND Y'ALL THIS IS PRE MUCH CANON BUT Y A L L ° He has always been in tune with his feminine side, and considered being a trans girl at one point, but looked closer and realized that wasn’t him. He’ll still present very femininly, and has a wig that he keeps sacred for his female days. He is comfortable with any pronoun, however, but hopes his gender expression on any given day will help change what people use.

Roleplay example: (This isn’t my best work, but I am really tired so) Cold. So, so very cold. He stumbled through the woods, bleeding and frozen and scared to death. He didn’t know what was going on, only that people were sick and he needed to run. The road trip with his parents was supposed to go well, a reward for his good behavior. But upon re-entry to South Park something had been very wrong. People were acting strange. And it wasn’t until too late that the Stotches realized they had to hide. Stephen and Linda were gone, leaving their only child to fend for himself in a land full of monsters. This was what elementary stories had warned him about, yet here he was. No sign of anyone he knew, just miles and miles of trees. A rustling sounded in the bush beside him, and he nearly jumped a foot backward before realizing it was only a rabbit. “Well, hey there lil’ bunny. Are you all alone too?” He cooed. The rodent didn’t hop away, much to Butters’ surprise. He pulled his Hello Kitty backpack off gently and fished through for a carrot. Delicately, he extended his arm to offer it to the creatured, delighted when it came closer. “Now that’s a good little fella. What’re you doing out here? It’s dangerous, don’t you know?” The animal didn’t respond, he didn’t think it would, only coming closer until it could sniff at the 15-year-old’s finger. He expected it to nibble at the carrot, but instead it made a leap for his bleeding hand. The teen yelped and thrust his foot forward, shoving the creature back and giving him time to gather his things back together. That was when he noticed its eyes. They were blown out and nearly bulging out of the poor rabbit’s head. The same thing he had seen in the monsters that had dragged his parents away. Butters made a dash for the woods, terrified of the snarling creature behind him. In seconds the bunny had transformed from an innocent little animal to an insane, bloodthirsty monster. The rabbit was fast, and it gave Butters a run for his money as he bolted for his life. His foot caught on a snarled root, and he ended up plummeting facefirst into the ground. He tried to pull it free, but it was tangled all right. The zombie descended on him, and Butters thought he was done for. He sent up a quick prayer that this would be painless, and prepared for the sweet release of death. “Butters?!?” A voice cried. The teen didn’t answer, convinced it was an angel taking him to heaven. Then he heard a gunshot and a shrill squeal, and decided to open his good eye. There was a black liquid splattered where the bunny had been, and a humanoid figure was chucking it into the bushes. It turned to face him, and that’s when some recognition kicked in. “Ken? Is, is that you?”

Accepted! I’ll send you a link to the server through a Tumblr PM Welcome to the apocalypse

Hong Kong Outdoor Activities: 10Best Outdoors Reviews

New Post has been published on https://www.travelonlinetips.com/hong-kong-outdoor-activities-10best-outdoors-reviews/

Hong Kong Outdoor Activities: 10Best Outdoors Reviews

Hong Kong is a big city, for sure, but it’s got a great outdoors that would appeal to adults and children alike. Four-tenths of Hong Kong is officially designated country park, few parts of the city aren’t in sight of water, it’s dotted with parks large and small, and the outlying islands are a world away from the concrete jungle.

One of Hong Kong’s most famous attractions is the Star Ferry, which putters back and forth between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Besides being highly inexpensive, it’s also one of the world’d great sightseeing trips. Nothing says “outdoors” like one of Hong Kong’s street markets, such as Ladies Market. And then there’s Hong Kong’s brace of theme parks – Disney and Ocean Park. Of course, you don’t have to head to a “destination” – simply wandering the streets and alleyways is an entertainment in itself, and the city is very safe, with hardly any street crime.

One thing to note: Hong Kong gets hot in summer time – take adequate drinking water if you are venturing out to one of the more remote country parks, and don’t be shy about using an umbrella to ward off the sun. It’s what the locals do on a regular basis.

Stanley is possibly Hong Kong’s best-known market. And with good reason. It’s part of a community set by the sea, with plenty of restaurants and cafes so you can pause for refreshment. The goods on sale are fabulously varied, and the traders generally cheery and not averse to bargaining. There’s no charge for entry, of course, so visitors are free to wander about and enjoy the spectacle. There’s a beach nearby, and Murray House, a 19th-century building which was moved here lock, stock and barrel from Central, stands by the shore. One way or another, Stanley is a great day out.

Recommended for Outdoor Activities because: It’s by the seaside, in a picturesque village, and getting there and back on the top deck of a double-decker bus from Central is thrilling.

Ed’s expert tip: Pace yourself, there’s lot to explore here, so build lunch or supper into your itinerary.

100+ FOLLOWERS CONTEST RESULTS!

Thank you everyone who entered! Before I call out the winners, I’m going to call out the answers for all of you who were curious to know!

WHAT IS THE MUN’S MAIN NAME The answer to this one is Stitch. This answer is located in my tumblr description. ‘SkeletalKitsune/Stitch’. I don’t hear people calling me SK or SkeletalKitsune often, hence why it wasn’t an option. Stitch has been a nickname I have had since 2015, one of my friends(someone I still talk to) decided to call me Stitch based on the mun FC I was using at the time and ever since it’s kinda stuck.

HOW LONG HAS THE MUN BEEN RPING? 10+ Years was the correct answer. I don’t remember exactly how long, but I know it’s been longer than ten years and shorter than twenty. The answer to this one is on my blog’s promo. I also bring up this fact whenever someone asks me about my writing, things like ‘how did you get so good’ and whatnot. I also bring it up when people ask me about my ‘no tolerance for bullshit’ attitude. I’ve been doing this way too long to care.

HOW LONG HAS THE MUN BEEN IN THE DUCKTALES FANDOM Since 2003. This answer wasn’t really on my blog, this was something that I have just mentioned in passing multiple times. Now I don’t consider saying you’re ‘in the fandom’ as meaning that you are online and posting your fanart or anything like that. No, I consider being a member of the fandom as someone who likes the series and is open about it and willing to talk about it to others. I started doing that back in 2003 with the original. The original DuckTales has been in my life for a really long time.

WHAT PERSONALITY TYPE IS MY SCROOGE? INTJ. A few weeks ago I made a headcanon post about how I took the Myer’s Brigg’s personality test with my Scrooge, answering how he would. I ended up getting INTJ-T. Ever since then I have been playing Scrooge based off of that type, which isn’t changing much honestly. The only thing I changed to my portrayal is I talked a little more about how little he understood his own emotional scale. I can understand why people got this wrong.

HOW OLD IS MY SCROOGE My Scrooge is a resounding 150 years old. This, at the beginning of the event, was in my threads more than it was in my about. I mentioned it very frequently since I actually found out his somewhat canon birthday of October 1st, 1867. But a day into the event I put it into my about in a small secret update(more on that in my next event). So that’s the note for that.

WHAT IS MY SCROOGE’S BIGGEST FEAR? Fear of Abandonment. This first materialized in a thread with @feathered-riches, Scrooge commented that one of his worst fears was being abandoned, that he never let’s people get close because of that. To continue on that I officially posted a headcanon about it soon after. He does fear other things, obviously, but he has an awful fear of abandonment due to betrayals and his outlook on life.

WHO DID THE MUN RP BEFORE THIS BLOG? Hidden away in my blogs, there is a little link, a little link that will reveal my old blog. Roland Deschain from Stephen King’s Dark Tower series was my previous muse. AND NOT THE ONE FROM THE MOVIE! THE ONE FROM THE BOOKS! I have a strong disdain for the movie. They botched it so hard. Anywho, the character is very close to my heart and actually bares a lot of similarities to Scrooge. They both share the same MBTI type of INTJ. This was the one question almost everyone missed.

WHAT’S THE MUN’S FAVOURITE ANIMAL? It is a Fox! This is a little more of an inference type question. If you look at my alias it is SkeletalKitsune. If any of you guys know anything about Japanese mythology, a Kitsune is basically a fox. Also if you guys haven’t noticed the mun will post animal videos on occasion, you won’t see any other animals really besides ducks, geese, and foxes. I can’t help myself with those cute fox videos and pictures.

WHAT DISORDER IS MY SCROOGE MOST OFTEN COMMENTED TO HAVE? He is mostly commented to have Insomnia. This doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the other disorders that were mentioned. He certainly does have PTSD and is Bipolar in some respects, but Insomnia is the one I mention the most frequently due to how many threads take place during the night time. Scrooge’s Insomnia stems from his anxiety, this isn’t the type of anxiety that sends him into panic attacks or hinders him too much, although in some cases it certainly can and will. This anxiety he has more has to do with him over thinking and spooking himself, being unable to sit still for fear that he is doing something wrong. He is very conscious of how he affects others, even though he may not see it. Despite this it is Insomnia that is described the most in my threads. He will often be found sitting up late at night with some alcoholic beverage, usually wine or whiskey, and be reminiscing on memories-- usually his time in the Klondike and Goldie.

HOW MANY DUCKTALES BLOGS DO I RUN AS OF NOW? 3! I run 3 in total. This one, @dimewitch which is my Magica, and @klondikequeen my Goldie. These can be found all over my blogs. In my promo, in my links, on my relations page, you can find them literally everywhere. While my two sideblogs aren’t nearly as active as this one (RIP Magica) both muses are very much part of my time RPing here. They both also commonly make guest appearances on this blog too!

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE MUN’S PORTRAYAL? 76.5% of you guys said you Loved my Portrayal, giving it the best rating you could! 23.5% of you guys said you Liked It, giving it the second best rating. This is great for me because it means that you guys are enjoying my Scrooge and that there is little that I’m already doing that doesn’t sit right with you guys. If you guys have any comments about why you gave the answer you did, please feel free to tell me! I’m always willing to improve!

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE MUN’S WRITING? 82.4% of you said you Loved my Writing, giving it the best rating! The remaining 17.6% of you guys said you Liked It, giving it the second best rating! This tells me that almost all of you unanimously agree that you enjoy my writing style and that I’m on the right track in my development. If you guys enjoy my writing style than I hope you’ll read my books that I plan to publish soon! If you guys have any comments about why you gave the answer you did, please feel free to tell me! I’m always willing to improve!

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE MUN? 88.2% of you guys gave the maximum rating and said you Loved Them! The remaining 11.8% of you guys said you Liked Them, giving the second best rating! There’s not much I can really say here other than this tells me that I’m doing the right thing as a mun. I’m making you all feel comfortable and safe in our interactions and that you all agree that I’m pretty nice to you all. I do try to take care of you guys, after all chances are I’ve been doing this longer and have more experience, not to mention my blog is the one with the trigger warning in the description. So I feel as though it is my responsibility to make sure everyone is doing well when interacting with me. If you guys have any comments about why you gave the answer you did, please feel free to tell me! I’m always willing to improve!

NOW TO THE RESULTS!

1st place! @intelligent-feathers with 8/10 points! 2nd place! @overprotective-uncle with 7/10 points! 3rd place! Coming out in a tie because their entries happened too close together for me to be able to tell you entered first, @iim-a-pilot and @lcuie-duck with 6/10 points!

CONGRATULATIONS GUYS! Keep an eye on @intelligent-feathers blog to see if they will share the secret prize, they may or they may not.

NOW TO THE HONORABLE MENTIONS: I had to call these people out because they either got questions people normally did not or they got a better score than most people even though they fell just shy of the top 3. First @duckfam, while you did score just above average at a 5/10 (the average was 3/10 by the way) you were still one of the only people to get the previous blog question right! As such you get a call out! Next is @pink-streaks who got a 4/10, just above average, but was also one of the first people to take the quiz!

THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED!

If you didn’t win, that’s okay, there will be another event coming up soon for the mun’s birthday! Keep an eye out for it!

#ooc #outofadventures #100 followers!#congratulations all my winners!

MettaWeen - A Mettaton Event For All!

What is MettaWeen?

From October 25th - October 31st, artists will draw the character Mettaton from Undertale in fall/halloween-related prompts! It’s just a fun little thing that I encourage participation in!

Who is holding this event?

@ask-sugarskull, the mun of @mettaton-appreciation-station (the blog where all entries will be reblogged)!

What do I have to do to participate?

Complete your work based on the prompt, then tag under MettaWeen2017 AND/OR tag @mettaton-appreciation-station OR @ask-sugarskull (I’d recommend doing both options!)

All works that follow the rules will be reblogged onto @mettaton-appreciation-station regardless of quality!

Do I have to do all the prompts to be a participant?

NO! You can do one or you can do them all - ultimately it is up to you and you alone!

Can I do the same prompt multiple times?

Yes. I’d recommend keeping it to 3 drawings per prompt, especially if you plan on doing other days! Please do not overwork yourself!!!

Is this an artist only event?

Yes. I’m sorry to the writers out there, but I’m not much of a reader. Reading a bunch of fanfictions to make sure everything’s on-par with the prompt and rules of the blog would be a great hassle. Comics or art based on written works is completely fine, however.

If I’m late, can I still participate?

Yes. There is a one week grace period for all entries (i.e. the week after halloween things for the event will still be reblogged).

PROMPTS!

October 25th - Day One - Autumn Attire! - Scarves, sweaters, sweatpants... Anything Mettaton’d wear during the fall!

October 26th - Day Two - Palette Parade! - Think of what colors pop into your head when you think “autumn” or “fall” or “Halloween” and use that to create a piece of artwork featuring Mettaton.

October 27th - Day Three - Fall Forest! - The leaves always change color this time of year. Let Mettaton see them!

October 28th - Day Four - Free Day! - Do whatever you want! Just keep it in line with the rules and celebration!

October 29th - Day Five - Pumpkin Day! - Pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice, pumpkin carving... Let Mettaton have fun with ALL the pumpkin activity!

October 30th - Day Six - Costume Day! - Dress up Mettaton in a Halloween costume! Witches, vampires, werewolves... Anything! (Please have some cultural consideration on this day. I do not want to start drama/controversy)

October 31st - Day Seven - Celebrate! - Halloween parties, giving candy out to young fans... Everything that Mettaton would do to celebrate!

RULES:

The rules of the event are the same as the rules on the blog!

No NSFW, shipping, misgendering, drama, or AUs!

I know some other people make separate blogs so people can make NSFW stuff based on the prompts when it comes to this sort of thing, but I am a minor. I cannot do that, no matter how much I want to.

I WILL ALLOW GORE FOR THE EVENT, BUT IT WILL BE TAGGED UNDER “gore”! (I tried to stay away from prompts that’d undoubtedly feature gore, though)

Other than that this blog is still going to be relatively safe for the event!

ANY REBLOGS OF THIS POST WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED! I WOULD LIKE TO GET AS MANY PARTICIPANTS AS POSSIBLE! EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT PARTICIPATING, PLEASE REBLOG THIS! SOMEBODY ELSE MIGHT WANT TO PARTICIPATE!

PLEASE DIRECT ANY EXTRA QUESTIONS HERE!!!

Hello all Overwatch OCs and their muns!

Most of us have probably already seen popular Overwatch ships dedicate a week to content, so I took inspiration and decided to create a week just for proud OCs!

Overwatch OC Week will take place September 10 - 16. This will (hopefully) be the perfect opportunity to flesh out your Overwatch characters or create new ones! All forms of art are accepted: writing, illustration, comics, graphics -- whatever you can work with!

Prompts:

Day 1 - September 10 (Sunday)

Introduction - Introduce us to your character! Are they Overwatch affiliated or otherwise? Chaotic Good or Lawful Neutral? Offense or Support? Who do they work for, what do they do, and why? You can include their “in-game” hero abilities with this if you’d like!

[Here is a good template to work with for Day 1]

Day 2 - September 11 (Monday)

Wardrobe/Aesthetic - Now that we know your character, what do they wear? What skins would they have in-game? Is there a story behind what your character wears? Any little knick-knacks they carry with them? What color scheme do they follow?

Day 3 - September 12 (Tuesday)

Family - Basics are down, let’s dig deeper into your character. Who are they associated with? Any family or friends that affect them on some level? Significant others? Love interests? How has the people around them influenced them and their decisions? How important are they to them, and who exactly do they consider family?

OCxCanon ships are absolutely welcome, if you wish!

Day 4 - September 13 (Wednesday)

Crisis - Let’s crank it up. Has there been a significant external event that has pushed your character to their limits? (examples include but are not limited to: The Omnic Crisis, Talon attacks, riots, Overwatch interference, gang life, etc.) What event shaped your character? Was there one at all?

If your character does not have an external conflict, then how about internal? Is there an image of themself they are trying to reach? Something they want to improve? Are they struggling with something internalized, or do they have standards forced on them that they can’t reach or don’t want to? Lots of creative freedom here!

Day 5 - September 14 (Thursday)

Goal - Now that we have a better insight on your character, let’s ask: What do they want from life? Is there something they are looking to achieve? Wealth? Peace? Order through chaos? Freedom from government? Love? Education? What steps are they taking to achieve this goal?

Day 6 - September 15 (Friday)

Domestic - Okay, now we’ve got a pretty great idea of who your character is, now let’s humanize them. Where do they live? Have any pets? Live with anyone? What are their favorite foods? What do they do on a Saturday night? To unwind? To pass the time? Have any hobbies? Just think of the simple things they might enjoy!

Day 7 - September 16 (Saturday)

Alternate Universe - Now let’s just have some FUN. Take your character now, and change it up. What would your Overwatch agent have been like if they were Talon instead? What if their significant turning point (see: Crisis prompt) never happened, or played out differently? What if they got brainwashed, or redeemed? Go wild. Have fun with this one!

Please try to post these on their respective dates. Late entries are completely okay! They can be n.sfw if you’d like, just make sure you tag them appropriately. If participating, be sure to tag as #owocweek in your post so I can find them! If you’re a roleplayer, you can link your character’s blog to your work, and perhaps other oc rpers can find each other through this week!

If you need help creating or refining your OC, I have a tag on this blog for helpful resources, and a masterpost here for blogs to follow to help develop your character.

Have fun, and I hope to see all of your beautiful characters very soon!

Hong Kong Itinerary: What to Do in 4 Days

Updated: 07/27/2018 | July 27th, 2018

Hong Kong. Its name inspires visions of a chaotic, jam packed city with soaring skyscrapers, thick smog, endless noodle stands, big finance, and wild nights out. It’s one of my top five favorite cities in the world, and I relish any chance to visit. The fast pace creates a sense of permanent change, and the crowds, multiculturalism, and food keep me continuously coming back. Oh, the food! I could sit bent over a noodle bowl all day long!

Hong Kong is a busy city of eight million inhabitants with one of the biggest hub airports in the world. It can be overwhelming for many visitors, especially those not used to crowded places. And, with so much to do here, one can scratch one’s head about where to start in order get the most out of the trip.

This four-day Hong Kong itinerary will help you organize your trip, steer you off the beaten path, and show you why Hong Kong is one of the most on-the-go cities in the world.

What Do in Hong Kong: Day 1

The Hong Kong Museum of History In order to understand a place, you must first understand its past. This museum lets you do just that. It provides an excellent overview of Hong Kong’s long and complex past. There are exhibits relating to the archaeology, social history, ethnography, and natural history of the region. It’s big, so allow about 2–4 hours for your visit. Admission is 10 HKD (free on Wednesdays) and there is an audio tour available for 10 HKD.

100 Chatham Road South, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, +852 2724 9042, hk.history.museum. Open daily from 10am-6pm (7pm on weekends).

Walk through Kowloon Park Head to Kowloon Island’s gigantic park that features a swimming pool, a fitness center, little ponds where you can watch ducks and other swimming birds, a Chinese garden, an aviary, and plenty of rest areas where you can relax to escape the oppressive Hong Kong heat. It’s one of the best places to people-watch in the city.

22 Austin Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, +852 2724 3344, lcsd.gov.hk. Open daily from 5am-12am and admission is free.

The street markets in Mong Kok This area of Hong Kong has the largest and busiest markets in which to soak up the frenetic atmosphere, sights, and sounds of Hong Kong. The crowds and sellers really exemplify Hong Kong’s on-the-move essence. The two best markets for inexpensive souvenirs are the Ladies Market (bargain clothing, accessories, and souvenirs) and the Temple Street Night Market (flea market). The markets of Mong Kok are best reached by the Hong Kong MTR subway system, stations Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok, and Prince Edward on the Tsuen Wan (red) line

Tung Choi St, Mong Kok, Hong Kong and Temple St, Jordan, Hong Kong. The markets are open every day, starting around noon and closing in the late evening (times vary).

Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade — Stroll along the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront and take in the breathtaking skyline view of Hong Kong Island. While you’re here, make sure to visit the Avenue of Stars, Hong Kong’s answer to the Hollywood “Walk of Fame,” where you can see the stars of Chinese and Western film alike. There are shops, restaurants, and, at night, a large outdoor market serving traditional Cantonese food alongside knockoffs and souvenirs. Come ready to haggle.

Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon (next to the Star Ferry pier). Open 24/7.

Take the Star Ferry The best way to get across the harbor from Kowloon Island to Hong Kong Island is via the Star Ferry, which showcases a fantastic view of the city skyline for only 2.70 HKD. It’s one of my favorite activities.

Star Ferry Pier, Kowloon Point, Tsim Sha Tsui, +852 2367 7065, Kowloonstarferry.com. The ferry runs from 6:30am-11:30pm every day, though they occur less frequently on weekends and holidays. Single tickets are 2.70 HDK, while a 4-day pass will cost around 27.50 HKD.

What Do in Hong Kong: Day 2

Ride Ngong Ping 360 This cable car runs a little over 3.5 miles, from Tung Chung across the bay toward the airport and then onward to Lantau Island, where you can visit the Po Lin Monastery. The cable car gives you a panoramic view of the airport, harbor, and entire city before it travels through the surrounding mountains. The ride lasts about 25 minutes. Lantau Island is a bit touristy, but the ride and monastery provide worthwhile views of the city and little islands that dot Hong Kong.

11 Tat Tung Road, Tung Chung, Lantau Island, +852 3666 0606, np360.com. Open 10am-6pm on weekdays and 9am-6:30pm on weekends on holidays. A round-trip adult ticket for the cable car is 210 HKD for a standard cabin and 290 HKD for a crystal cabin (a cable car with a glass bottom floor).

Take a food tour — After the morning on the cable car and enjoying a killer view of Hong Kong, spend lunchtime taking a food tour. Hong Kong is a food-filled city (there are over 10,000 restaurants here!) and you’ll find a diverse range from around the world. Without help, you’ll never find all the hidden local favorites. The following three companies offer the best value tours:

Bigfoot Tours – They offer private small-group food tours, usually lasting around 4 hours. 650-2,200 HKD depending on how many people.

Little Adventure in Hong Kong – Little Adventures offers street food tours, Cantonese cuisine tours, fine dining tours, and craft beer and cocktail tours. There is literally something for everyone!

Hong Kong Foodie Tasting Tours – Four tours are available here, depending on what you’re looking to sample. All tasting are included in the price, which will be between 750-900 HDK per person.

Rent a junk boat Junk boats — those classic boats with the large sail you see in any movie about Hong Kong — a fun way to sail around the harbor on full-day and half-day trips. You can rent a boat with a large group of friends (15 or so people) or join a group trip. Here are some recommended companies that offer affordable tours:

Island Junks – They have a couple cruise options, costing around 650 HKD per person. You can also charter your own if you’ve got the money!

Saffron Cruises – This is a great option if you can put together a large group of 20-30 people, as a charter will cost 9,000-18,500 HKD.

Hong Kong Junks – This is more of the classic party boat experience, with options for all budgets.

What Do in Hong Kong: Day 3

Walk the Ping Shan Heritage Trail Located in the New Territories (the city’s less visited northern district), this trail will lead you past some of the most important ancient sights of the Tang clan: the walled Hakka village of Tsang Tai Uk, the Fu Shin Street Traditional Bazaar, Che Kung Temple, Man Mo Temple, and the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas. Just be aware that not all of the historic buildings on the trail are open to the public.

Another option is the Lung Yeuk Tau Heritage Trail. It begins at the Taoist temple complex of Fung Ying Seen Koon and passes the walled villages of Ma Wat Wai and Lo Wai before ending at the 18th-century Tang Chung Ling Ancestral Hall.

This part of Hong Kong is often skipped by tourists, and the trails, meandering through the city’s more rural region, are quiet and a welcome break from the giant metropolis of the downtown area.

Ping Shan Trail: Sheung Cheung Wai, Yuen Long District, +852 2617 1959, lcsd.gov.hk. Lung Yeuk Tau Trail: 66 Pak Wo Rd, Fanling, Hong Kong, +852 2669 9186.

Hong Kong Heritage Museum This museum showcases the city’s history and love of art. There’s a large exhibit about the New Territories and an opera house for performances. It fills in some of the blanks left from the Hong Kong History Museum and gives you a look at the artistic culture of the city. It’s also located near the beautiful Sha Tin Park and Shing Mun River, making the surrounding area just as interesting as the museum!

1 Man Lam Rd, Sha Tin, New Territories, +852 2180 8188, heritagemuseum.gov.hk. Open every day but Tuesday from 10am-6pm (7pm on weekends).

Che Kung Temple Just down the road from the Heritage Museum, this temple is dedicated to Che Kung, a general during the Southern Song Dynasty (1127–1279) in ancient China. The temple complex here is always filled with people, so be prepared for crowds. The traditional architecture and intricate sculptures make this worth visiting after you see the Heritage Museum.

Che Kung Miu Road, +852 2691 1733, ctc.org.hk. Open daily from 7am-6pm.

What Do in Hong Kong: Day 4

The Peak Tram This tram takes you to the top of the Peak, Hong Kong Island’s largest mountain, at 1,700 feet. You ride a funicular to the top where you enjoy spectacular 180-degree views of the skyscrapers of Victoria Harbor, Kowloon, and the surrounding hills. It’s the best view of the city.

No.1 Lugard Road, +852 2849 7654, thepeak.com.hk. You can take a return trip for 52 HKD or a return trip with entry to the sky terrace for 99 HKD per person.

Hong Kong Museum of Art- CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS UNTIL 2019 This museum is a fascinating and intriguing place that exhibits Chinese ceramics, terra cotta, rhinoceros horns, and Chinese paintings, as well as contemporary art produced by Hong Kong artists. It’s part art museum, part Ripley’s Believe It or Not.

Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, +852 2721 0116. Open from 9am-6pm everyday but Saturday.

Experience the nightlife at Lan Kwai Fong LKF is the main nightlife and party area in Hong Kong and is filled with tons of bars, clubs, shisha (water pipes), and cheap drinks. Nights out here are wild — the street is always crowded, people get very drunk, and shots get handed out like candy. It’s rowdy, but if you want to see Hong Kong’s wilder side, this is the place to do it.

Other Things to See and Do in Hong Kong

Day trip to Macau — The gambling mecca of Macau is a short boat ride away. For 150 HKD, the 60-75–minute boat ride from Hong Kong’s ferry terminal will take you to this former Portuguese colony, where you can wander gigantic modern casinos, stroll historic streets lined with Portuguese-inspired houses, and dine on egg tarts, a famous local specialty.

Take a cooking class — Hong Kong is full of food. Why not learn how to cook some of it? This Hong Kong expat website has a list of 20 schools offering classes!

Go hiking — Hong Kong may be a densely packed city, but there is also scenic hiking in the outer mountains and islands. There are a lot of trails (especially in the undeveloped parts of the New Territories). This link to the Hong Kong tourism board lists all the trails.

Visit Disneyland — If you’re on a family trip, or if you’re a backpacker in touch with your inner child, head to Disneyland. Hang out with Mickey Mouse and shake hands with sea creatures.

*** In a city of eight million people, there are countless things to see and do. One could fill weeks exploring Hong Kong’s many islands, markets, restaurants, sights, and nightlife and still not see it all. Though impossible to condense a city so vast into four-days, this Hong Kong itinerary will help you experience the most Hong Kong has to offer in a short period of time!
