IS ANYONE ELSE GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS OR

"More than 100 contributors, including B.D. Wong, Arthur Laurents, Simon Doonan, Stephen Fry, Marc Shaiman, and Michael Musto share endearing anecdotes and stories about when they, their families, and everyone else knew they were gay." (Goodreads)

I absolutely adored this book and it made me reflect on all the ways that others may have picked up on my sexuality before I even knew.

AuDHD is so funny sometimes like what do you mean my hyperfixations/special interests will last for years on end or possibly forever but they will cycle out every month or two with absolutely no transitional period or warning. like i will think about the same topic every day obsessively for 46 days in a row and on the 47th day with no visible cause adhd brain goes "ok! bored of that now" and autism brain goes "dw i got something queued up for ya" and i blast into full blown obsession on some other topic whose mental file folders haven't opened in 9 months. brain's out here treating hyperfixations like a crop rotation. once the dopamine runs out it cycles in another one but once something's in the rotation it never ever leaves. last summer we brought in one from when i was 11. it's so funny to me but frustrating too bc like. i cannot stress enough my inability to predict or control this. or how completely abrupt and random it can be

Mobei-Jun: ...what?

Shang Qinghua: Oh, once a year humans celebrate our birthdays with gifts, so I got you something!

Mobei-Jun: No I got that, I just don't know how you know it's my birthday, I don't even know when I was born

Shang Qinghua, sweating profusely: I guessed

When DMX Meets Metalcore

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how much I love metalcore music—and then randomly, one of DMX’s old songs came on, and I felt that same guttural energy I get from a breakdown.

And then it hit me: DMX is metalcore in rap form.

No seriously—hear me out.

Both metalcore and DMX are raw. There’s nothing polished or sugar-coated. DMX didn’t just rap about pain, loss, anger, and survival—he lived it. You can hear the cracks in his voice, the growl in his throat, the rage and desperation in his delivery. Sound familiar? That’s basically the entire ethos of metalcore. The screams, the breakdowns, the heavy riffs—they’re all a form of release, just like DMX’s barking delivery and aggressive verses.

Metalcore tends to come from this place of emotional chaos—love, betrayal, trauma, inner demons. DMX was doing the same thing in a different genre. His music was heavy even without guitars. It was emotional weight. And honestly, sometimes his tracks hit harder than any double kick drum ever could.

I think that’s why both styles connect with me so much. They don’t pretend. They don’t play it safe. They say what most people are too afraid to admit out loud.

DMX might not have been screaming over breakdowns or playing dive bars with mosh pits, but the spirit? The truth? It’s the same. Whether it’s a band like Architects or Parkway Drive screaming about pain and struggle—or DMX growling, “Y’all gon’ make me lose my mind…”—the message is this: I’m fighting to survive, and this is what it sounds like.

If metalcore is a bleeding heart with a guitar, then DMX was that same heart with a mic and a pit bull by his side.

And that’s why, in my book, he belongs in the metalcore hall of fame.

P.S. If anyone ever makes a mashup of DMX and a metalcore breakdown, please send it my way. I’ll lose my mind—in the best way.

Is lanterns event is the shortest right? We dont even have the perfect or grim, only Riddle Jack Kalim and Deuce. Whole event it just Riddle character development in Tangle theme. Also prove that miss roseheart is suck and Riddle is ready to free.

it was one of the shorter ones, yeah! (if you don't count, like, Master Chef or the other ones that aren't really story-based.) I thought it was super cute though! :> especially given how we were in the Halloween + main story gauntlet for a while there, it was a nice easy little breather. honestly I think it was mostly about just seeing everyone come together to make fun of them help our boys be the prettiest tower princesses of all. 💐 (if for some reason this involves Jade refusing to take off the deer mask, so be it)

(and, you know, we finally got a knitting scene, so of course I'm happy)
