#words cannot describe how ecstatic I am

[brooklynisher]

BTW, I just finished watching SPG's 10-year anniversary show and I am

[solssoapbox]

God I definitely need to be a bit more chill before I get my v card revoked because if i fuck/get fucked by a hot woman I'd explode

[sharkiiv]

After concert

holy fucking piss cock and shit... that aaa the craziest, best thing I've ever done in my life. Words cannot even begin to describe how over joyed and ecstatic and totally EXPLODED I am after that. I will never be that happy again.

[summerinbali]

I could tell stories of how I left without closure, stupid teenage love, or messy break-ups in the past.

But I need to find a way to tell this story. The one about finding love, more love, and unlearning, then learning again to love someone. And this is about one person only. Not that because it is hard, but it is still going, and lots of improvements need to be made.

New love is always one thing that sparks people. Finding love when you haven't found one is easy to describe and fun to tell. It feels ecstatic and narcotic. Every touch is another level of high. Every kiss is addicting. Every move is relaxed and joyful. The more mess comes on it, the more amusing it is.

But what about love that is relatively old? Do you find love where you always put it? Well, yes. It's like finding keys in the drawer, as they should be, or finding a Tylenol in the medicine box. It feels mundane, but somehow, it brings a lot of comfort. It's like that thing is always there right where you need it. The kind of happiness that love brings is not ecstatic anymore. It's healing. The touch, the kiss, and the moves in between are curing. The more mess, the more it brings headaches where over-the-top sex is the best cure.

With this old love, you have to unlearn-learn how to love someone. For me, the past six years have definitely not been easy. You think that the love will always stay like that. But you both grew, your surroundings changed and then you were renewed. Then, the love must be somehow readjusted. The way you give love and the way you provide love may no longer be the same.

Love, in general, is easy, sure I agree. But loving, where you put two heads, two bodies, and two souls living together, is not always easy. It could be challenging. You always need to make sure you're both on the same page. And that requires you both to like the book and keep up with each other's pace. Well, in short, you just have to make it work.

Honestly, the miracle stops in the beginning. The rest is yours to work on—the date night, the conversation, the sex, the kiss, the touch—all of them require lots and lots of effort and time.

I'm not saying that it is all scary. If it scares you and you want to back off, you are not ready. You are ready when it scares you, and you still want to go on. This could be because you have your partner's trust, which plays a huge part in starting a long-lasting love anyway.

But somehow, in the midst of everything, the kindness and the purity of love stay the same. You could be mean to each other (of course). But the kindness stays the same when you get back to each other.

We were both surprised about walking this far, yet this was something we had expected in the beginning. Our love survived things I cannot put into words. I am in awe of our love. There are times when I am utterly scared. But with time, we got better at loving each other (hopefully).

I am not saying that my love or my marriage is perfect. I'm saying that I put a lot of effort into them, and one should never stop.

And I like my love accessible. There when I need it. So, let us be there for each other.

Some songs I want in Project Sekai !!

(flash warning for many of the linked videos!!)

Ki Do Ai Raku by Task - WxS I KNOW this is kind of outside of their usual genre/style of music BUT JUST READ THE LYRICS PLEASE!! i literally am so in love with this song and it just fits wxs so well it makes me feel ill I cannot describe in words how ecstatic I would be if they covered this! (very outlandish pick but i want it all the same)

Kimi no Taion by KutagawaP - Ichika & Saki this could probably be a full leoni cover BUT just LISTEN,,, this song is SO middle school ichisaki to me!!! it's so them! and it's so sad and bittersweet and it makes me emotional and they would sound SO GOOD singing this together. okay? okay.

Pajamy by Iyowa - Airi & Shizuku me and my lyrics relating to character arcs smh... ANYWAY! this song is literally just. Shizuku and Airi being scorned by the idol industry and AAAH IDK! I love iyowa and this song fits them so well and its been SO LONG since they've had a cover together. just read the lyrics please... thinking abt Shizuku's struggle with cheerful*days in the main story.... Airi wanting to help her through that... Airi being burned from how she was treated before she first quit being an idol...

Nee Nee Nee. by PinocchioP - Ena & Mizuki this song is literally about two online friends who are in love with each other but can't communicate properly. SORRY DID SOMEONE SAY MIZUENA???? I've seen people say they want this song with other ships but this is SUCH a mizuena song to me.... like idk dude it's just so them. I need them to cover this so bad.

Ironina by NILFRUITS - VBS this song could probably also work for 25ji but just hear me out the vibes would be so cool for a VBS song right? ALSO Akito alt and maybe An alt! :) the lyrics made me think of Akito so much he just HAS to have an alt.

Light Blue Invasion by Nayutalien - L/n this song is just so fun sounding and the lyrics are so leoni... everything about this song makes me think of them. I also think leoni just deserves more songs that are super fun and upbeat!!

shake it! by emon(Tes.) - MMJ this song is just so fun and sweet... I think it could be a really fun mmj cover! also the parts where the crowd is cheering? imagine a 3d mv where they're interacting with the crowd. idk I just think this would be super cute!!

Tiny Bunny by youman - 25ji literally the lyrics fit them so well, I can imagine exactly who would sing which lines. I also just love youman and this song. this song is so good and i think that 25ji would do an amazing job covering it! :)

Literacy by Wotaku - VBS tbh i don't really care who in vbs covers this I just want it... I think they would sound really really good. maybe anhane and akitoya alt vocals? i don't know but I really like this song and also it would be cool to have more wotaku songs in game!

UFO by Kikuo - Emu & Rui I don't know how likely a kikuo wxs cover is but. this song is so dreamy and the lyrics dude!!!! literally a song about lonely "aliens" looking for companions. this is SO emurui coded. this is one of my dream covers for them tbh. also ik i haven't been mentioning vocaloids BUT the vibe fits wxs luka so well to me i want her on this song with them. please just imagine this cover it'll change your life I promise.

Electric Angel by Yasuo - Minori & Haruka WOULDN'T THIS COVER BE SO CUTE??? like the song sounds super cute and i would love to hear them sing this... if anyone other than mmj covers this song I'll feel betrayed. ALSO THE LYRICS. SO minoharu coded! this might possibly be a bit of a pull from nowhere but I want it anyway

Amatsu Kitsune by Marasy - L/n I think this would be a really cool cover for them to do. I love this song, I think Saki specifically has a chance to really shine in this cover. IDK! I just like this song and the vibes fit leoni... also references to space and celestial stuff :)

Let's Die Together in Kurashiki by SLAVE.V-V-R - WxS although the lyrics do not fit them AT ALL the whole vibe of the song is SO cool. I would love to hear wansho do a cover like this! I especially think Rui and Nene could sound really cool in this, maybe they could get an alt vocal :) IDK this would just be a neat cover to hear

Baimei Baimei by Maiki-P - Mafuyu & Ena I have some newfound hope for this cover because of Maiki-P recently doing a comm for wxs! I just think the lyrics fit mafuena really well and also they could sound SO COOL singing this. it's just a really good song that I like a lot and I think a mafuena cover for this could sound amazing!

Rafflesia by Utsu-P - VBS okay this pick seems kinda random but please stick with me here I have a vision. THEY WOULD SOUND SO COOL SINGING THIS. literally i cannot imagine a world where vbs would do bad with this song. especially An, if we do ever get this song I totally want an alt vocal for her. ALSO the lack of Utsu-P in game is a CRIME.

Lula by n-buna - 25ji (i could not find an official upload (or reprint) for this song help) this song feels very bittersweet to me and I don't know I just think it would be a sweet nightcord cover. this song is really wonderful sounding and I would love for them to cover something like this. they've done similar songs before so it's not impossible

Scissorhands by Nem - Tsukasa & Rui guys guys please this song is so them like you don't get it I need this cover. "This hand of mine cannot even caress your cheek. If that's the case, just how can I protect your smile?" LIKE ARE YOU SERIOUS??? not to mention they would sound AMAZING with a song like this. this has potential to become my favorite ruikasa cover over fixer it could be so good... this might be a bit too overtly romantic for ruikasa but idk.... I can hope and dream.

Magical Girl and Chocolate by PinocchioP - MMJ I tried not to pick too many super popular songs (like ones i see on wish lists a lot) but i want this cover so bad. this song fits mmj so well and I love pino and mmj so it would be a dream come true for me tbh. I think they would sound really cute singing this, okay?? Haruka and Airi could have alt vocals for this :)

CH4NGE by Giga - Kohane & An really just another song I picked because I think it sounds cool and An and Kohane could totally do this justice. they could do such an amazing cover of this song honestly I've been wanting it for a while I think it would sound super good!! also songs like these are peak vbs vibes to me.

Tenkou Zen'ya by ChinmariP - Ichika & Honami really this is a very Honami coded song to me. Ichika is just here because solo covers barely exist and leoni doesn't have any songs without Ichika (I would've put Shiho otherwise). but also the vibe of this song very much fits with how other ichihona covers sound and I think it sounds really nice.. it's bittersweet and reminds me of main story/middle school Honami, i think it would be a neat cover.

[chesacakeripper]

Oh my!!! I'm in love 🥰 thank you so much for this beautiful little sketch of them 💗 💕

Screw it. For World Rat Day, if you reblog this post with a picture of a beloved rat, I will draw a doodle portrait of them for you. It can be multiple beloved rats in a photo as well.

words cannot describe how ecstatic I was—and still am—to find living fish in fnv. like literally the best discovery of my life

[ohworm-writes]

As I reach my nearly two-year anniversary of this blog, which will be on February the 28th for any who are curious, I thought it would be appropriate to share a list of blog recommendations. Whether it simply be blogs I am enjoy currently, in the past, or anything else of the like, all deserve even more recognition, believe me.

So, without further ado:

@egcdeath -- By the gods, words cannot describe how absolutely awestruck I am by your work. The way you articulate emotion and action and just- everything? It's a work of art. I fell in love with your 'Love In Bloom' work months ago, and finding you again with your Soccer Parents series makes me ecstatic. I'm always left rereading and hungry for more of your work because it's just that good.

@robynlilyblack -- My absolute favorite Harry Potter writer I've ever read from. You have singlehandedly made me fall for characters I never would have thought about falling for. The emotion you put into your work leaves me weak at the knees sometimes, and the angst, oh boy, does it hurt when I read it. And there's so much comedy in your works, at times I find myself giggling whilst staring at my screen.

@quirkfics -- You write for some of the most underrated characters and I'm so happy that you do just that. I have, many a times, scoured the internet for works relating to specific characters that, unfortunately, almost nobody writes for. And then there's you! I cannot tell you how many hours I've poured into reading and re-reading your works because, truthfully, it's a little embarrassing.

@tired-teacher-blog -- My favorite Aizawa blog bar none. The way you write is, truly, mesmerizing. Every time I read something from you I'm always left in awe, whether that me with a grin or a flustered face or anything else of the like. You are doing the work of the gods.

@simpliao -- One of my favorite jschlatt authors on this website. Everything you write is adorable and fills me with warmth every time I have the blessing of reading through your blog. Everything you do is stunning and I am in love.

@jschqtt -- Another stunningly amazing jschlatt author, though I do love your other works with all the same adoration. Your works are so adorable and I cannot stress how seen I feel with some of your works. The prompts you write from just hit so close to home and the emotion behind them make them all the better.

@slxthxrxn-sxmp -- I initially found you from your Jurassic Park works and by the gods I fell in love with your writing so quickly. Just- every word I see on my screen when I read through your blog is captivating. I truly need to read through all of your works some time because I know how beyond worth it it will be.

@jschllatt -- My favorite jschlatt author on tumblr, easily. Though your blog is/has been, for the time being, inactive, I hope you know how much you, both as an author and as a friend, have impacted me. I still strive to write as amazingly as you do, though I reckon I have quite a bit of work to do before I create such art. You singlehandedly made me fall for more people than I can count by your work and I hate you for it. /j

@dreamwvrld -- The best author I've ever had the chance of reading from. And I mean that in all facets. You have been my idol ever since I started reading from you. The way you create such vivid scenes and the emotions you give the characters in your work leaves me at my knees. I still aspire to be like you, and even though you have left the fanfiction community, as I've told you, I can't wait to see and support you and your future endeavors. You have a fan for life here.

Writing, especially for a niche group as fanfiction writing is, is difficult and at times grueling work. The prospect of creating something designed specifically for a group of people to enjoy can be filling, but it is important to note the time and effort that goes into such work.

I'm apart of such a wide variety of fandoms and seeing so many people create content for them, spilling their thoughts onto a screen- it's beautiful. I'm sure many authors have seen me ramble in adoration about their works before, but it's important (at least in my eyes) to yell to the world 'look at this person and their amazing work!' from time to time.

To every author on this list (and to those who aren't yet), even if you're not currently or no longer active, even if you're only written a small number of works, even if you don't think your work is good (stop that, it is good and so much more), I, as well as the community(ies) you're apart of, adore you. <3

[minustwofingers]

AHHHH OH MY GOD okay this is my first time writing anything to anyone on tumblr but i just felt like i had to do it for you for so many reasons

in short - your writing is beautiful. you keep the beauty of the universe while also incorporating parts of our world and giving readers something to relate with in exoplanet. giving readers something to connect with makes it feel more real. sometimes fiction writing is just fiction and doesnt come across as relatable or something to hold on to, and in the end the story doesnt connect or sit - however with exoplanet, you brought so much emotion to the narrator and made the story sit that much deeper with your audience. characterizing the narrator in that way, making her similar to all readers in some way or another, gives that much more beauty and depth to the piece.

ellies characterization is also just as meaningful and is just as important as the connection between the reader and narrator. the dramatic irony behind it all, readers knowing why ellie cant easily open up yet the narrator not knowing and experiencing very real and conflicted emotions, gives your story such a raw edge that i cant even begin to describe.

and not only that but i love you and seeing all your interactions with your followers and other readers. knowing you purposefully wrote exoplanet in this way and put so much thought and meaning behind each word makes it such a powerful read.

cant wait for the rest, i know itll be good!!! and feel better soon!! writing and being sick is not a fun combo so take as long as you need and be sure to rest your eyes! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

THIS ASK IS JUST SO. like i cannot even begin to express my joy in reading this. i’ve been letting this marinate in the inbox for a while and coming back to reread it because 1) anon u have a way with words and 2) this is just…i can’t even put into words how ecstatic this whole message made me. i’m sure anyone who writes can relate but having people not only read your stuff but read it AND send something like this in? i am so so grateful that you took the time to type all of this out oh my god enekenwkew

anyway yeah i want to cast a really big spotlight on your line about the dramatic irony of us knowing why ellie can’t open up and the reader not understanding …like you put it so perfectly and it’s exactly what i’m trying to convey. ugh this was just so perfect to read i’m sorry this is kind of a mess i thought taking some time would mean i’d come up with a more coherent and Normal response but every time i read this i melt into the floor a little more and have to pinch myself because my writing is not only being perceived but understood and oh my god aaah

okok i am going to cut this off here before i sound more unhinged but in conclusion thank you so much from the bottom of my heart anon for this lovely ask. i am going to be thinking about this for the rest of my life 😭😭

Spirit Possession & Folklore in Opera: La Gatta Cenerentola

Follow this link to see and hear what the heck I am talking about today.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k8PlqkBsxU

I figure the best way to learn folkloric coding is to just get bombarded with it, so here we go!

La Gatta Cenerentola is a Cinderella story opera created by one of my personal folk heroes, Roberto de Simone. And it features artists from Nuova Compagnia di Canto Popolare, whom I absolutely cannot recommend highly enough. Go find all their music right now!

This scene that I linked above is the 2nd Laundry Women scene. (2° coro delle lavandaie.) In it, the laundry women describe an extremely erotic dream and go into an ecstatic state meant as a nod to possession trancework. It is implied that she is bitten without using those words--because folkloric coding implies things. It isn't going to outright tell you everything. You are just expected to know or guess.

All of the living possession traditions of the Mediterranean share a common coded language of experience. Possession starts with a bite. Those who are bitten go through a ritual initiation wherein they become Brides. This Bridal relationship can be with spirits, saints, or gods. Though there is a separation between spiritwork (possession with spirits) and euphoria (possession with gods).

Spiritwork has a special relationship with color. While most other trancework is done with participants wearing white, spirits and gods have colors. Sometimes these colors are shared by a whole group, household, or court of spirits. The colors share encoded information about the type of spirit involved or the identity of the god. The rules for the use of clothing colors are very strict tradition by tradition and stepping outside of that coded language is not really done.

For spiritwork to be considered valid, it has to plug into the coded language of the cult you are engaging with. This helps to provide proof of state--which is extremely important for all types of spiritwork, including working with the spirits of the departed and various types of nature spirits. Proof of state is slightly different depending on what types of spirits are involved but it all falls in what I would call the spectrum of normal expectation.

**For instance, those who speak on behalf of the dead provide proof of state through spontaneous song composition where the lyrics provide details about the life of the deceased that a stranger should not be able to know. The purpose of speaking for the dead is to call out injustice and give the deceased a final say in the land of the living.

Proof of state is a bit more complicated for Wind & Nature spirits but it does consistently hit 3 major points.  

#1 is that the potential Bride will have ruled out all physical and psychological ailments BEFORE seeking a spiritual solution to their affliction. (Possession is an affliction, at least at first.)  

#2 is that the potential Bride will have a story for the moment they were bitten that is consistent with spiritwork.  

#3 is that the potential Bride will lay completely catatonic until they hear the music of their possessing spirit. And then they will dance in a way that is consistent with that spirit's identity.

In all spiritwork traditions of the Mediterranean, music plays a vital role. Many traditions have traditional rhythms and threads (lyrics) that are tied to specific spirits and gods. A thread is a coded concept for a spirit chant. The rhythms are very important. They often contain specific number patterns that have even deeper layered symbolism.

There are roughly 7 (major) vectors of spirit possession. Snakes, scorpions, wasps, horseflies, spiders, running water, & mishandled blood. These are the spiritual envoys that do the biting, kicking off possession illness in the afflicted. The bite is a spiritual affliction, not a physical one. Which is how running water and mishandled blood bites a person. This is a very dramatic event in a Bride's life. Sometimes the vector that does the biting will be the same color as the Bride's possessing spirit. That is a pretty common feature in Tarantella specifically.

Spirit sickness is a collection of very well understood symptoms of possession. There are a wide range of symptoms but that doesn't mean that just anything can be spirit sickness/ possession illness. The sickness has to present in a consistent way with similar cases. This sickness also helps provide proof of state and information about the possessing spirit in the coded language of possession.

And though I know it can be a little confusing, I do want to state that the vectors of possession DO often actually bite, sting, and spiritually slap a person. Knocking them on their ass quite hard. This is part of why there is secrecy around spirit traditions. The concepts can be really challenging to explain and when spoken to those who have no frame of reference for it--it is not going to make much sense.

Going back to the La Gatta Cenerentola clip. This video uses the coded language of spiritwork to say a lot of things without actually spelling it out for you. In the back left corner there is a drummer holding a large frame drum, playing it in the traditional single handed style for S. Italy (a style that used to be very common in the Aegean as well). This style is associated with both the surviving traditions from the cult of Artemis and the cult of Dionysos in this region.

The women are all wearing white, which just sets the stage for possession trancework. It was going to happen. The song itself is set to the scrubbing rhythm that appears at the start of the clip. And, while this is an opera and was written in advance, the scene portrayed here is meant to look and sound like lyrics composed spontaneously on the spot. It uses a call and respond lyrical pattern that is used to pull everyone into an ecstatic state together. It may have started with the lead lady up front but everybody gets pulled in.

Possession is extremely contagious. Once one Bride is bitten and the music starts, everybody is about to catch it. We even have the vector and the bite in the form of moving water. The water carries the rhythm of the spirit. This type of Dionysian spiritwork is specifically tied to labor/ work. Working in a rhythm with water is very much keeping with the language of possession.

Not all vectors are the same either. Moving water and scorpions are more frequently associated with blue spirits, who are responsible for obsessive love. Like a desire for romance taken to a really unhealthy extreme. Which definitely fits neatly into the extremely obsessive erotic lyrics sung in this clip. It is quite steamy.

It doesn't happen all at once but I do want to point out that all of the women in this clip start with their hair bound and this scene ends with their hair unbound. They beat and paw at their chests wildly alluding to the loosening of their bindings. Cutting bonds, freeing themselves. This is part of the expected body language of spiritwork. They do not stomp but they do throw and whip their cloth around. there is a special relationship between weaving/cloth and trancework that kind of factors into this in the background.

At the very end, the Bride collapses. This is extremely important in the coded language of possession. I call this a PTFO (pass the eff out). No Bridal ceremony is complete without it. It means that the ceremony was a success. Looking at something like this, there are a lot of little details involved that would be fairly meaningless alone but when taken all together they neatly fit the language of spirit possession. It hits all the major points I would be looking for if I was a lead musician putting a Bride under.

My overall impression of La Gatta Cenerentola, apart from it featuring at least half of my folk music heroes, is that the Cinderella character represents the land itself. Naples or Southern Italy in a grander sense. And the cruelty of how oppression comes from the inside of Italy itself and how a false sense of liberation historically came from outside. Just with the complicated history of Naples and how it has been fought over by so many foreign powers for so many centuries.

The character of the prince/king who is supposed to come in and rescue her represents the foreign kings who warred over control of Naples. But she's going to belong to someone--be basically property--one way or another. That's just my take. The opera itself is gorgeous and I could listen to the musicians of NCCP sing all day every day. It was done in a Neapolitan dialect and that was definitely a part of the political statement of the piece.

[lettersfromthelevant]

it's so weird how men can be more accepting of female gender non-conformity and child-free lifestyle than other women... like i mean obviously there are tons of men who hate seeing that in women, but...

every woman in my family has told me that if i don't shave men will comment on it and i'll never get a man to be with me. i've had three long-term boyfriends. none of them ever even mentioned my body hair and none of the men in my family have ever mentioned it either. my mother could literally never stfu about my body hair, but my dad, my grandads, and my brother have never commented on it once.

i walk around in sleep shorts and a tank top with no bra in front of the men in my family and they never say a word; meanwhile my mother would always, without fail, tell me i needed to go put on a bra, call me sasquatch, and insinuate that men looking at my boobs was somehow my fault and not a behavior that needed to be corrected in men.

like i am honestly, as i write this, thinking hard back into my life to see if i could find a single time that a single one of my male family members ever told me to shave or put on a bra and i cannot come up with one. i remember being in the kitchen with my dad and his mom once, wearing shorts and no bra, sporting leg hair. my bubbe could. not. shut. up. about my body hair and leaned in repeatedly to tell me "i can see your nipples." then stop fucking looking, lady? the men clearly don't have a problem with me just existing because they are normal god damn people that don't feel inclined to scrutinize every inch of their own blood relatives body for sex appeal...

oh and speaking of boobs and sex appeal, i actually thought my mother was going to have an aneurysm when i got a breast reduction. i got it purely because i didn't like having boobs bigger than an a-cup and apparently, to my mother, that was the equivalent of shooting a man directly in the balls with a shotgun.

and holy fuck i have been going over so many memories of my mother now that she's gone, just accepting that i had a really fucked up relationship with her, and i'm starting to remember all the repressed things that i just kind of blurred out. like how my mom could not go a single fucking conversation without bringing up "motherhood" and "babies." my dad recently started using the word "if" and not "when" to describe kids (low bar, i know) but you could've never caught my mother dead insinuating that it was okay for women to be child-free.

my dad was so ecstatic whenever i picked up a masculine hobby because it meant we could hang out more. meanwhile my mother would always try and talk me out of it or just make it really difficult to pursue anything. i'm honestly shocked she didn't die a decade sooner when i bought a motorcycle. my dad taught my how to gear shift.

the reason i'm even thinking of this right now is just that we are debating a funeral/memorial and i am getting into a full blown fucking fight with my mom's cousin-i-didn't-know-existed-until-yesterday on me wearing a suit instead of a dress or skirt. apparently it's "disrespectful." like first off, she's dead so it's not like she's here to give a shit. second, if the only reason you showed up after like two decades of radio silence is to hear the will reading maybe don't comment about "respect." my dad bought me a suit.

Just watched the documentary behind Obi-Wan Kenobi and-

😭❤️☺️😄🥺🥰🥲

I cannot describe in words this documentary’s impact on me. It was genuinely so heartwarming <3

Witnessing how ecstatic Ewan and Hayden were to see each other again was so heartwarming. They have such sweet brother energy.

Seeing Hayden get the respect he deserves is so lovely. It proves that, despite how there are many things in this would that are upsetting, humans are capable of spreading love, inspiration and joy!

That one behind the scenes footage of Hayden and Natalie from Attack of the Clones had me on my knees wanting to cry omg. I miss seeing Natalie in Star Wars. I miss that Anidala/Skyberrie sweetness.

It was truly amazing to see how many people pour their heart and soul into loving Star Wars. Yes, our fan base does have its toxic moments, but watching the end of the documentary and seeing how excited and emotional people were to see the premiere of Kenobi moved me. It proves that everywhere where there is darkness, there is an even larger amount of joy!

It was nice to listen to Deborah Chow explain how Carrie Fisher’s portrayal of Leia deeply impacted her. Princess Leia, no matter if she is played by our princess Carrie or the talented Vivian, is a feminist icon who continues to be inspirational. Oh and I cannot forget how amazing Beru is! Thank you Bonnie for bringing to life a humble, caring, badass woman in Star Wars.

I am thankful to Moses Ingram for her portrayal of Reva! She was a relatable, fresh face who was pretty skilled at making me feel creeped out by her entrances. I hope Ingram gets more praise and can push back the awful criticism that was targeted her way.

I really want to watch Kenobi again, now that I understand all the emotion, time and effort that was put in.

Please Hayden return in the Ahsoka series!

I have so much more to say, but I cannot remember any of my other points now 😂

I am always here if someone wants to have a passionate rant about the beauty of Star Wars with me.

Thank you George, all the actors, directors and many, many people who have contributed to bringing Star Wars to life.

Comic-Con Day 2, Ghoulia's Dead-light

July 13, 2012

If San Diego thrilled on day one, guys and ghouls, I cannot begin to express my UHHHn-believable feelings toward the dead-lights that today brought.

Not only was today Friday the 13th (certainly my favorite howliday, by far), but it was also the first ever Monster High Panel at San Diego Comic-Con! I was absolutely ecstatic to be offered front row seats (along with friends Scarah and HooDude) to this other-worldly event. Imagine, if you will, Monster High designers and creators sitting mere feet in front of me (mere feet)! These guys and ghouls are legends at Monster High! It was so UHHH-mazing to witness their discussions up close and personal during the panel. I could not have crafted better questions than the ones that were presented from the audience. The air was filled with an electricity that can only be described (in Frankie's words) as "voltage!" The panel ended with an award (which in my opinion is how every presentation should end) and while I did not win the costume contest, I will admit that the [guy/ghoul] who did win was absolutely deserving of the crown. Luckily, Cleo was not here, otherwise heads would have rolled, as she insists on always having the beast headpieces and always, well, winning.

Prior to the panel was another event that I had been anxiously anticipating. Early in the day, dozens of monsters materialized at the signing area for a Monster Meet Up of epic proportions! I have never seen this many student bodies congregating outside the boundaries of Monster High! It was an enchanting sight to see. I truly wish that all MHGG readers could have been there to experience the monster love. I am so proud to be a monster in this unique moment. Additionally, the day was filled with excitement as fans got to experience the new MH photo booth! I will surely be sending a few of those pictures back for this year's Fearbook.

Finally, the day would not be complete without a report on yet another doll reveal. Yesterday, it was our beloved Headmistress. Today, administrators revealed that two of my closest ghouls will soon be transformed into superheroes! As you can probably imagine, I was shocked, awed and completely inspired by this creeperific revelation.

Until next time – stay comical, guys and ghouls! - Ghoulia

But I'm a Creep, I'm a Weirdo

[transcribed from memo book] 26/2 Today my mother went to the appt. I set up for her to check her blood pressure. Sister went with her. Despite that, my sister and I still went tot he gym early in the morning. It was leg day. Bully. In my ineptitude I ended up missing the bus by 3 minutes, leading me to head to school entirely by car. What a waste of gas and parking! 20$ minimum for two classes today- ai ya ya! I missed the roll call for my Sowjet course. Alls well tho cause I was still counted as present. Gut. During Sowjet, I ended up winning at solitaire (hard mode!). what a feat! Now, I sit in the Red Room. Already, I've eaten my lunch- McDs per usual. My Spirits today have gone high and low. On the car ride I was on the verge of suicide. Recently, right after Sowjet, I was ecstatic. Listening to the Maladroit CD, I can't help but feel a yearn for Love. "If I only once could kiss you". Of course, I know how silly and delusional it is of me to think such romantic notions. Foolish! Yet, this longing fills me not with despair, but w/ hope. It must be the work of Burndt Jamb. ~~~~ Seated across from me is a gal. I've already stolen too many glances of her. Even so, I find it difficult to describe her. She's a variety of blonde or at least a brunette with blonde highlights(?). She was a wore a white tank top and blue jumper pants(?)[AN:I know nothing of fashion] with white New Balances with pink accents. Cute! She stared at me first- most likely due to the stickers on my laptop- anime mostly. Slice of Life stuff. Anyways, why cat I spell today!!! Annoying. ANyways, I ended up stealing a few glances her way. Her laptop was filled with stickers too. A lot of variety, but the one that struck out to me is that she had a semi-vulgar anime sticker with a barely clad gal w/ the word "Spank!" or something to that effect. It's most strange and aroused such curiosity that I ended up having eye contact w/ her. How creepy of me! It was but for a moment, but now I am shamed and do everything in my power to avoid seeming like I'm looking at her. How stressful. Oh God, what if she posts about me saying I'm a Creep! Ahh my social life, though nonexistent, is ruined! I would have loved to know her name at least! Oh woe am I! How silly and foolish I am. I am sure she knows I write now in this pocket book. I wonder if she knows that I write of her. Oh fair maiden! I avert my gaze in shame! She's curled up like a kitten- on her phone. Cute, I think. I can't really take the time to note any details. The piano guy is playing Part of Your World. Pinkerton plays in my ears. Longing in my Heart. How I wish I could go up to her! I prob don't even exist to her. Many times I wish I could take a snapshot picture of what I see with my eyes. Some beauty cannot be captured by the limited capacity of mechanical camera or the brush of an artist. No. Reality displays a beauty [greater than] anything Man can conjure. If I could just steal another long glance to remember. Damn, what a Creep I am! I hope see why I'm single, and most likely single remain.

[Author's Note: I can barely recall the girl mentioned in this entry- I would have forgotten her if not written lol! Rereading in a regular state, I see very well how creepy I make it sound with what I write, hell, I even acknowledge it in my writing itself, but in reality it was not so weird! Trust!]
