i’m crying you did NOT gaf about LH1 😭
oh i loved LH1 !! I think it's an absolutely bonkers insane piece of art but it's not really an album that I can listen to tbqh and i do not say that in a derogatory way at all. it just sends me into absolute hysterics every time and that's not very productive for me, so i dont really listen to it (just bc i genuinely can't handle it) and, because of that, im not personally chomping at the bit for LH2 (even if I know a ton of people are) because I just know that I, Jess, am not the target audience for it and i shouldnt have to pretend that i am
#it's an incredible album !! it's a masterpiece !! luke is one of the most phenomenal poets/songwriters ive ever read/listened to#but like that shit fucks me up in a way i cannot describe lmfao#i genuinely cannot listen to LH1 without having a full blown hyperventilating crying breakdown. like it's my anxiety attack album y'all#music has a really strong affect on me. i am really sensitive to auditory stimulants and so i cry *super* easy to music#so if i listen to LH1 i have to be prepared to bawl my eyes out for multiple hours#and i usually dont have time to spend crying so i dont really listen to it. i mean baby blue + saigon i will BUMP i fucking LOVE those song#but the rest of the album just hits too close to home. and i know that's what so many people *love* about it#and what makes it so incredible. but for me? i would just rather listen to songs that make me happy#i thought abt not answering this ask bc i think it might be ~controversial~ lols#but the fandom is so small on tumblr now that im actually just gonna say whatever tf i want moving forward dfghjk#this is my turf !#(secret time) i also have <3 personal resentment of LH1 bc of how fans treated superbloom <3#but what're u gonna do abt that yknow#not luke's fault. his artistry is incredible. ashton's is too. and they attract different types of listeners#and just bc im a 5sos fan doesnt mean i have to love all their solo projects yknow?? it's just abt what i enjoy as a listener :)#pigeon#anon#i feel so brave saying this#will i get attacked#i doubt it. surely there's not enough people left on here to care dfghjk#if my luke friends see this im sorry guys i love him ily i love his album i have NO bad things to say about it from an artistic point at AL#it's a masterpiece !!!#i just dont listen to it#and nobody gets to make me feel bad abt that >:(

If you're talking about the 2019 era of Hetalia on Tumblr, I think tumblr user lluviadinoche popularized the idea of naming Romano as Lorenzo. They've since deactivated but I do remember them being a very vocal adopter of naming Romano as Lorenzo.
#no one gets to reblog this because i don't want this to leave my bubble#but also this sort of nitpickiness is kind of the reason why i stopped creating in this fandom#this kind of shit is why i feel particularly suffocated as a creative because there's a constant level of anxiety that lingers#this is someone who knows all too well about caring too deeply about historical accuracy to the point i'm wondering what is the point?#my feelings on this is honestly pretty muddled#but i can't help but feel a bit annoyed because maybe i wouldn't catch the nuances of a north/south italy#but there is a part of me that has grown fond of naming romano lorenzo anyway#but maybe it's just also because i lack that desire to be distinct with north/south because#i myself have a blend of hanoi and saigon so i don't have this desire to distinguish myself#but i think broadly this sort of attitude feels incredibly condescending#perhaps i'm just sensitive and this is why whenever i post i feel obligated to explain my thought process rather than letting it just exist#but every time i see this sort of shit i can't help but wonder if this is why people feel less motivated to create historical hetalia#and just broadly creating in general the anxiety of getting things wrong even with enough research to the point it becomes more like a#a history textbook rather than a transformative piece of work#sorry this is so negative but i'm just tired when i think about creating#and how much this stunts my motivation because there's a constant abstract voice telling me i'm wrong or that my imagination is offensive

I hope Eva Noblezada gets a happy role next
Because between Kim in Miss Saigon and Eurydice in Hadestown, she's already proven that she excels at playing the woman who you know isn't going to have the happy ending but you root fir anyway.

Fic writer asks: 14, 16 or 27 (whichever haven't been asked yet). If all have been asked: minus 2 from all of them and see if those numbers work 😂
XD i appreciate the strategy here
14. If you could see one of your fics adapted into a visual medium, such as comic or film, which fan fic would you pick?
oh this is hard. I feel like while I love writing for storytelling, I also just genuinely love the vehicle of writing/language so it's not super intuitive to me to think of switching the media of any of them? Ironically, I think I'm probably more into the idea of an adaptation of the fics I like the least XD
So with that in mind, I think the letters of your name could be a fun movie maybe? and through the desert could be adapted pretty well to a comic format
16. At what point in the process do you come up with titles?
it depends but usually pretty early on. I do sometimes get to the point of posting on AO3 without a title, but it's relatively uncommon. A lot of times I sort of organically decide on a title in the process of writing a fic; sometimes I have a title before I have a fic; and oftentimes I pick a poem to use as a title either while writing or when I go to post.
27. 25. Have you ever upset yourself with your own writing?
I have but it's not like...common. I am more likely to work myself out of upset through writing and I tend not to be very affected by my own writing—see: the time in childhood where I read an injury description from my own story to my dad and made him nauseous while i was just like >:D hehehe. With more time between writing and reading it, I am usually more affected but for 90% of the worst scenes I've written, I'm the person doing it with a completely unbothered mien (or cackling to myself lol). I might make myself a little sad, but yeah, ya girl compartmentalizes like a container store

I just saw someone say with their whole chest that slide on is better than anything on 5sos5. And usually I am on the side of the bonus track, because 5sos has some gems hidden as bsides and rarities. But not this time. That song does not fit the album. I don't even believe that's a 5sos5 rejected track. That sounds like a wfttwtaf rejected track. But even when put next to wfttwtaf, I like the ones we have a lot more.

Lion Drummers
After living in China and Vietnam for almost 8 years, I have seen these Lion dances many times, I feel as excited as a child when I catch one. The tradition is 1500 years old, they bring good luck. In Vietnam the Lion performers are normally teenagers, they have a strong sense of fun, as a teacher I know having a good sense of humour is essential (though sometimes I forget). The drumming was…

Real estate tycoon Truong My Lan faces the death penalty in a trial that began Tuesday over alleged fraud amounting to $12.5 billion — nearly 3% of the country’s 2022 GDP and Vietnam’s largest financial fraud case on record.
The 66-year-old chair of the real estate company Van Thinh Phat allegedly used “thousands of ghost companies,” paid bribes to government officials and violated banking regulations, according to a government document. She is accused of illegally controlling the Saigon Joint Stock Commercial Bank between 2012 to 2022 and using it to embezzle $12.5 billion, the document adds.
Another 85 people are being prosecuted in connection, including a former State Bank of Vietnam official accused of accepting $5.2 million in bribes. Lan was arrested in October 2022 and could get a death sentence if found guilty.[...]
Lan’s arrest is among the most high-profile in an ongoing anti-corruption drive in Vietnam that gained momentum since 2022. The so-called Blazing Furnace campaign has seen thousands of officials and business executives come under investigation. It reached the highest echelons of the Vietnamese government in January 2023 with the resignation of former President Nguyen Xuan Phuc and two deputy prime ministers for the “political responsibility” of corruption scandals during the pandemic.
But analysts added the anti-corruption drive has also dampened Vietnam’s economic outlook and made foreign investors jittery at a time when the southeast Asian nation has been positioning itself as the ideal home for businesses looking to shift their supply chains away from China.

Please reblog for a bigger sample size!
If you have any fun fact about Vietnam, please tell us and I'll reblog it!
Be respectful in your comments. You can criticize a government without offending its people.
