I really wanna understand your love for kieran culkin, I loved him in Scott Pilgrim.

Oh my god this is so nice you really don’t have to ask but I love that you did!!!!!!!!

I wish I had a less lizard brain answer to attribute the spark to but sometimes you need someone to do something sexual in order for your brain to unlock that interest in them and the Roman/Gerri phone scene takes the prize. When I rewatched the show I had zero recollection of the emotional scene that happens right after because apparently I blacked out lol. So then I’m watching the rest of the show through new eyes which of course leads to huh, I definitely love this character and am attracted to this being, but do I also love this person? Anon, he’s so lovable! The pro and con of Kieran & Roman is there is A Lot of Kieran in the character. Uh the best parts, we hope. He’s this secure short king with quick wit who talks fast and can require a bit of attention but is humble as heck about how good he is at his job and has this quirky decorated right appendage and isn’t afraid to crack jokes when someone broaches the subject of his irl family or politely shut them down when he thinks they’re off base about something. I love the little bit I know about him and his wife’s relationship and the way they can publicly poke fun at each other. I love that he lived in the same tiny apartment from 19 to 39 until his wife finally said “you’re on a hit TV show.” I love how sweet and diplomatic he is when someone tries to poke him about Jeremy Strong being weird. I swear you can feel interviewers become infatuated with him for being a real and funny, charming person. In conclusion, I think he's neat!

#full disclosure Scott Pilgrim is bottom of the priority list of things to (re) watch. mostly because he looks like..that. but I will!#sometimes I'm like oh this was inevitable. the slow burn was in process it just needed an opportunity #then Alex took himself out and the gate opened #truly insane background I like to note for me but not important to anyone else ever #feel like I always had a general goodwill towards all the Culkins even if I couldn’t be bothered to learn the difference between 2 of them #before Kieran's SNL had you held a gun to my head and asked me to identify which was Kieran or Rory 50% chance I'm dead #I only listen to WTF eps if I have a vague interest in the guest so I know I listened to Macaulay's episode years ago and Kieran’s in 2020 #and I know I came out of those happy to keeping rooting for them from afar - Kieran was great! - but it didn’t awaken anything.#his Conan episode is wonderful! but I wasn't digging in from that #S1 of Succession is so Kendall focused you don't get enough Roman but then he becomes the one we know the most about his childhood and #he goes from this little weirdo to fascinating puzzle #and through that just watching Kieran be good at his job is so hot! but also be good in a way that he makes seem effortless #and not too serious which is also importantly hot. no one really likes an actor who is weird about being an actor. he's just like that #then you factor in his personal relationship with J Smith-Cameron and her husband and it's so motherfucking adorable. I?#answered ask #KC #thank you anon this gave me so much energy last night lol

Ok I'm sorry but this is gonna be a long rant.

I am an ex swiftie (also a minor) and I joined the fandom back in 2022 after midnights released. Before that I had heard a few songs but I barely knew anything about Taylor before 2020 and I did not know about the Kimye stuff or anything.

When the bejeweled music video was released I did not realize the easter eggs so thus I thought that I need to become parasocial and I NEED to know everything that taylor has done every minute of the day (referencing Do you really wanna know where I was April 29?)

I went deeper into the hole. I started getting obsessed with Taylor. I clicked on every video , post and podcast mentioning her. I genuinely became a parasocial fan. I only heard her songs and barely cared about other artists. I hated on her exes (Jake Gyllenhaal and John Mayer especially) because I believed that they had hurt Taylor to no extent. I still don't like them/am neutral but I don't hate them anymore. In march I joined tumblr because I heard Taylor was on here and I have no other social media to support her from so I came here to give her my support.

In April , the breakup happened. I was genuinely devastated. Joe was and is an amazing person. I was shocked to see her move on so quickly and date m*tty he*ly . I was even as a child shocked as to how someone can move on so fast. But also move on to someone so problematic after calling herself an activist? Idk what was wrong with her. But IG as long as she is happy.

She broke up with him. We all rejoiced. Speak now TV was also announced! Yay!

I remember so well on 7th July I was in school and I was so fucking excited about it coming so soon I couldn't sit still. I was counting down minutes until it's release even tho I did not have any devices to listen to it on. My friends were so happy to see me happy and excited af.

I went home and heard speak now tv. Amazing experience for me at that time.

I became the person who said shit like : I hate everyone but Taylor and Taylor is a gift to this Earth and etc etc.

But the amount of joe hate and joeover and joebless jokes annoyed me. Why were we hating a person who was in her life at her worst moments? Taylor would never condone or allow this.

But boy was I wrong.

Most of the hate against joe was my #Strike 1 for leaving the fandom.

Then came along Traylor. I was like oh ok as long as she is happy :))

Then she started associating with the nfl people. Br*ttany M*homes and Abuser bitch.

When I heard of this I was like wtf Taylor???

Weren't you the one who was going off about being on the right side of the history and believing victims?

I was like it's fine maybe she doesn't know or maybe she will stop once she knows.

She didn't

Then she won person of the year. I was already very unhappy with Taylor at that time. But I still was like Yay! Congrats! But maybe you shouldn't be the one to win it?

Then the doxxing by a swiftie happened. It was #strike 3

I left the fandom. I still had hope she would change.

Now after seeing her jets emissions (I'm a huge Environmentalist and a feminist so this shit bothered the living helm out of me) and her continuously hanging out with brittany piece of shit and all the joe hate going on, I am beginning to despise her.

I had initally blocked hate pages like yours but Now I open your posts everyday and check them because I relate to them sm.

I went from a person defending every action of Taylor's, being the only one in my entire theatre who knew the lyrics to all the songs of the eras tour movie , having Taylor as my top artist of the year with more than 60 percent of the songs being hers to despising her so much for being fake and stuck up.

I remember after I left the fandom and not many people knew about it , A classmate said something against Taylor and her songs directly to me daring me to oppose it and I genuinely wanted to cry because I thought that I would now always be associated with this fandom.

The ex swiftie in me genuinely wants 2016 to happen again so Taylor will be removed from the pedestal she is put on by so many. She needs to be saved from herself and her parasocial fans.

And I used to say I would love Taylor forever but I suppose forever really is the sweetest con.

TLDR :- I USED TO BE A PARASOCIAL SWIFTIE WHO USED TO LIVE AND BREATHE TAYLOR BUT NOW I'M SLOWLY STARTING TO DESPISE HER.

Sorry this was so long I had to get it off my chest.

Thanks for reading it!

ex swifties are my favourite people in this planet rn

(OC: Pachinko)

DE made a hazbin hotel oc wtf!!!

(okay for some background stuff on this character, I originally conceptualized her wayyyy back in August of 2020 but never really did anything with her cuz i didn't actually have that much interest in Hazbin Hotel as I do now, and it didn't help that there wasn't that much lore to work with at that time. But now that the 1st season of the series proper has come out, we've gotten some more lore, and one bit of lore that interested me is that Husk (everyone's favorite cat bartender) used to be an Overlord (possibly of gambling???) but he had lost that status when Alastor took his soul??? So that got me an idea... what if a new Overlord stepped in to take Husk's place in the gambling scene following his absence?)

(also yes Pachinko is a Sinner demon and an Overlord, she was born in 1953 and died in 1987)

i'll probably reveal more about her later, but in the meanwhile you can have this: - Pachinko's of Japanese descent and grew up in Japan, if her name and theming didn't give that away already - if you're wondering what kind of animal she's supposed to resemble, well I gave her both motifs of a bat (it's a bit of a pun since Pachinko's a very opportunistic person, and the Japanese word for bat, Koumori (コウモリ), can also mean "opportunist") and a Japanese raccoon dog/tanuki (it came to mind because tanuki are known for being tricky and also they're associated with money and financial luck, which I think fits Pachinko well). Her beta designs originally only had bat motifs. - Pachinko used to be close friends with Husk back in the days when Husk was an Overlord, but the two ended up having a falling out when Husk lost his status due to losing his soul to Alastor. Now the two are quite distant and have a lot of beef with each other. - Pachinko is bisexual, and has a secret crush on the Overlord Velvette (also Pachinko and Velvette are friends, and Pachinko probably gets along with Velvette the best out of all of the known Overlords).

I feel like the majority of his impetus behind ASP was his disgust with Trump. It feels like it was his more physical manifestation of his anti-Trump stance, beyond his tweets of the time. I feel like once Trump lost re-election in 2020 his politics interest started waning big time.// I noticed this too. I started questioning it ever since he brought the idea forward and doing interviews about it. It felt like a vanity project against trump with interviews of not so great republicans. Then once trump started going downhill and lost, his interest in it has almost disappeared. I wonder if he feels like he accomplished anything with ASP. I don’t think we’ll ever know but from the outside looking in, it doesn’t feel that way to me. However I do think it could’ve been a very decent political site if there was just more of a long term focus and determination about it. He’s just not a person who has that, in my opinion.

So, obviously, I'm using some older asks still in the inbox to spur some things I'm thinking about while I have asks off.

While I do believe in the loss of interest after Trump was out of office, I also want to talk about what ASP might have accomplished for Chris, even half-heartedly.

Let's not kid ourselves that ASP was not a cog in the wheel of a larger PR persona soft pivot strategy. Let's take a look:

The Wired Interview, January 2020 (clock when the interview actually happened though, October 2019 in L.A.)

So this was done not too many months after the Hollywood Reporter Interview of early 2019 that also teased the "quasi-retirement" angle and talked about ASP as well:

So, like any good business venture, using the year previous to launch to tease out the product. (The product being the reinvented post-Marvel Chris Evans.)

Then, a feather in the cap that would have hit at the same time as ASP's initial launch, had it not been for Covid, the Time Magazine May 2020 inclusion article:

But, to me, the real big score for any politico, a write-up in The Washington Post, October 22, 2020:

They even came to his MA house for the photoshoot, due to Covid.

The rebrand/pivot continued into 2021, post-election, but pre- him going back to more regular filming scheule. The Newsweek article, June 18-25, 2021 cover edition:

So, here we had it, the real gain from ASP, the post-Marvel all-grown up new Chris Evans PR persona. Yay.

Too bad whatever personal life decisions he made half-way through 2021 completely blew this up.

I would have liked to have seen where this version of Chris could have gone. (And I guess we'll never see this again, because he seems to have no interest in it anymore.)

Okay so my mom put sugar in my dahi even though I expressly asked her not to do that THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 15 MINUTES and I know this sounds petty for me to be this angry but she'll do something like this EVERY DAMN TIME Like she'll ask for my preference AT LEAST TWICE AND STILL END UP DOING THE THING I ASKED HER NOT TO IT IS ENRAGING AND I ALMOST DIDN'T WANNA EAT LUNCH BECAUSE OF THAT TODAY but laga faltu mai ladai hogi so I said nothing 🧍‍♂️

What did aunty do in your case?

oh no i get that it pisses me off too whenever she doesnt follow the things i said. she would always like ok so whenever we would have sweet she would just put like rice and daal on the plate and the mitai also beside that and i dont want my sweets to mix with the food so i always tell her to put it in a separate bowl but she never does that.

she pissed me off so much today. ever since i came back home yesterday she has been telling me to go to the hospital and get a checkup done even though i feel totally fine?!?!?!?!?!??! and i told her that i feel fine i will go when i dont cuz bro they charge like 1.5k per session i literally cannot do that in the beginning of the month. and then again today ever since waking up she has been telling me to go visit the doc like wtf?!?!?!?!?! i am so pissed. ever since i was a kid i was always in and out of hospitals and i hate that entire fucking word and place so much because of the shit i experienced i hate it i dont like the place i literally cant. and i JUST got a break after giving exams since fucking january she herself knows that and i know i shouldnt be angry but its so pissing off. and now she gave me oranges to eat. ive been having them every fucking day since 2020. and its never the meetha ones. she always gives me the khatta ones which i hate. and she says im throwing a tantrum. well wtf should i do if you dont give a fuck about what i want. like wtf im genuinely so pissed i hate oranges now because of her i hate that fruit so much.

They’re Gone- JJ Maybank x Fem Reader

Y’all, I deadass thought I posted this 8 months ago when I wrote it. Also idk wtf is up with the spacing. Based off S1 E10 and S2 E1 when they believe that John B and Sarah are dead still.

The past few days have been hard. JJ's been getting panic attacks, Pope's been immersed in his books, and Kiara is always high. You on the other hand, you were getting either high or drunk constantly to forget about the pain, to the point where you couldn't feel your body. You got really drunk one day and let JJ do a stick and poke that said p4l, and you ended up laying on his chest falling asleep. You missed John B, you missed Sarah. You wanted nothing more than to sit and laugh with them around a fire. You missed John B's jokes, his snarky comments towards you, you missed his laugh. And Sarah, god. You missed her hugs, talking shit with her, saving mice from the birds with her. Hell, you hated how clingy they were with each other but at the same time it was the cutest thing you've ever seen and you missed watching their love story.

Flashback JJ was screaming at the top of his lungs, attempting to beat the shit out of the police. Kiara and Pope were just sobbing into their families arms. You were hugging your parents, until you looked over to JJ, who was wishing he had someone there, anyone to hug him. John B and Sarah were dead. Your mother looked over and saw the poor boy, gesturing him to come and join your families embrace. You held him as tight as you possibly could, crying into him, hoping it would get better. He gripped onto you like his life depended on it, and you told him you'd be there for him no matter where you were or what time it was. Flashback over

You, JJ, Pope and Kiara were standing around a tree in John B's yard, gazing at the freshly burnt writing in the tree. 2003-2020 John B Routledge P4L. You all took drinks and cheered to John B and Sarah. Kiara put a memoir box down in the ground, and Pope and JJ began putting dirt over it. Once they were done, you placed a white flower on top, tears threatening to spill out of your sunken-in eyes. You pulled everyone into a group hug, making sure to hold on to JJ the tightest. He was holding onto his chest, which just he recently started doing. Once you all pulled away you leaned onto JJ's side, placing your hand over his chest and squeezing his hand that was covering it. "Well, I gotta go to work." He said hugging you. "Okay J." You whispered wrapping your arms around his neck.

You watched him speed off on his dirt bike, and you couldn't help but wish he stayed here with you. You knew it was wrong to like him more than you already did, especially with everything going on, but he made you feel so safe and loved more recently. When you found out the news in the tent that night, he came home with you and let you cry in his arms all night, occasionally asking to be held and comforted. The two of you fell asleep in each other's arms, and when you woke up in the morning you felt the smallest bit of happiness peeking through, regardless of the night before. Your best friend, JJ Maybank, falling asleep entangled in your arms. "Y/N you there?" Pope said while snapping his fingers in front of your face. "Yeah sorry. I was just thinking." "Yeah thinking of JJ." Joked Kiara.

"I was not, I was thinking of.. smoking weed. Y'all want some?" You asked pulling a joint out of your pocket. The three of you sat around the tree smoking the joint, reminiscing the times you had with John B and Sarah. About 2 and a half hours later, JJ came back throwing his bike to the ground as he got off of it. "JJ what's wrong?" You asked, but he ignored you and walked into the Chateau slamming the door. "I'm gonna- yeah." you said pointing towards the house and getting up. Once you got on the porch you heard things being thrown around and you immediately went towards the sound. JJ was throwing all sorts of shit around the house and kicking anything that was near him. "JJ stop." You half yelled. He looked at you and saw the worried look in your eyes and came over to you beginning to cry.

"It's the fucking Kooks. Everyone was talking about how John B deserved it and he's going to hell, and I just snapped. I got into it with Kelce and got fired Y/N, I fucked up again." "Shh it's okay. The Kooks deserved that anyways. You're not fucking anything up JJ. Maybe you can find a job at a mechanic shop? You'd like that a lot." You said giving him a small smile. "I just miss them so much Y/N, I miss John B, he's like a brother to me." "I know he is J, and this will hopefully get easier, but I'm here through all of this okay? Anything you need at any time, I'm here." You said while rubbing his back. He stayed quiet and you sat down on the floor, pulling him onto you so his head was on your lap. You ran your fingers through his hair, making sure to massage his temples.

"Do you wanna go smoke and go to bed? We have school tomorrow." You sat waiting for an answer until he finally got up and lifted you off the ground, hugging you. "Thank you for being here Y/N, I love you so much. I'm glad you're one of my best friends. Let's go smoke." He said pulling his lighter out. You laughed at the expression on his face as he twirled the lighter in his hands. You walked outside and Pope and Kiara were laying down in the hammock together. You looked at each other in disgust, wishing you didn't have to third wheel them. Although you thought JJ would be cute with you, but whatever. You put the joint up to your lips, watching him intensely as he lit the end of it.

You must've stared for a little too long because you started coughing so hard you couldn't breathe for a minute. "You get distracted or something Y/L/N?" JJ joked. "Yeah, uh just a little. Um can we go inside it's a little cold out." He went into his bag and grabbed his flannel from earlier, putting it around you. "Let's finish this joint and then go inside, yeah?" He said smiling at you, taking the joint out of his mouth. You took it from his hands and passed it back and forth for a few minutes before it finally burnt out. You were feeling light headed when you grabbed JJ's hand, motioning him to go inside with you. "Let's go J, it's still cold and we still have school tomorrow." JJ followed closely behind you onto the couch.

"So what do you wanna do JJ? We could play a game or something or we could go on a walk somewhere." You slurred. "Well I think, we should stay here and watch a movie, it's still only like 7:30pm. What about CHUD?" He replied. "Works for me." You shrugged. He put the movie on and about 40 minutes later you could feel the weed really kicking in. It didn't help that you were still high from smoking with Pope and Kiara when you smoked again. Your legs started to feel tingly, and your hands were twitching. You looked over to JJ and started laughing. He knew you got like this, so he just ignored it, but you weren't having it. "Pay attention to me JJ, I'm trying to sing you a song."

You began repeatedly singing the words "Puff! The magic dragon." Until he looked over and stuck his hand over your mouth. "I thought we were watching a movie Y/N? Why the hell are you singing about puff the magic dragon?" He said laughing. His eyes were dilated, and the smile wouldn't wipe off his face. "Because. Because. Dragon." You said while laughing between breaths. "So is it like, a wizard dragon that smokes weed?" He wheezed. "I don't even know." You said, barely being able to talk from laughing. After your fits of laughter, JJ asked "Should we just finish the movie tomorrow?" "Yeah but what are we gonna do, it's not even 8:30 yet, and you know we're going to be up for another 3 hours."

"Well we could just sit here and talk maybe? Kiara and Pope would've come in by now." He said, putting his arm behind you. You leaned your head on his shoulder, relaxing onto him, feeling your body go numb. You guys talked for a bit, before you fell asleep. You were woken up by JJ shaking you. "Y/N you'd kill me in the morning if you found out I let you sleep in jeans, go change into something else so you can sleep." "I only have this and clothes for tomorrow though." You whined and checked the time. 10:17pm. You went to see if Kiara and Pope were up, and they were still on the hammock. "Guys come inside, it's late!" you yelled. They came inside as walked back with a t-shirt and a pair of boxers, handing them to you. "Here, you can wear these." He said. "Thanks JJ. Goodnight guys." You said while walking over to the bathroom.

You took your clothes off, and threw his shirt over your head, pulling the boxers up your legs, staring at yourself in the mirror. You wondered what John B would say if he saw you in JJ's clothes, he knew you liked him. You started thinking of how you and John B would be wrestling right now or seeing who could shotgun a beer faster, and you began sobbing. JJ ran into the bathroom wrapping his arms around you. "Hey, hey what's wrong Y/N?" He asked you worriedly. "I miss John B and Sarah." You cried. "I know Y/N, I know." He said picking you up off the floor. "Let's go to my room, come on." He said while picking your clothes up off the floor. He set you down on the bed and put your clothes down, laying down next to you.

"Come here." He said while opening his arms for you to lay in. You whimpered and crawled up to him, laying your head on his chest and wrapping your arms around him tightly. "They were family and now they're gone." You choked. "I know they were, but there's nothing we can do to get them back Y/N. I miss them too." He said kissing the top of your head. "We'll get through this together, I promise. Let's try to sleep okay? I just have to change." He got up and you rolled over so you wouldn't be watching him change. He got back to the bed and pulled the blankets over the two of you, pulling you into spoon him. "Is this okay?" He asked you before wrapping his other arm around your frail body. Yes J." You said sniffling while pulling his arm tighter against you. "Goodnight." He whispered. "Goodnight JJ." You said quietly, relaxing into the feeling of his body being so close to yours.

You were woken up by Pope shaking the both of you. "Come on, we have school." He said. JJ didn't move, and you just laid there, still feeling the effects from the night before. "Yeah yeah. In a few minutes." You said while shushing him out. You rolled back over facing JJ who was snoring. "JJ, Pope said we gotta get up." You said while shaking him. "Bro no, I got polio." He said. "JJ wake up." You said smacking him with a pillow. He sat upright and looked at you. "Goodmorning Y/N." He said groggily. "GUYS HURRY UP!" Pope yelled. You took your clothes and went to the bathroom, rinsing your face off and changing.

You grabbed your bag and got in the Twinkie, brushing your hair on the way to school. JJ was knocked out against the seat, while half laying on the floor. You spaced out thinking of last nights events, how you fell asleep in his arms again, and him kissing the top of your head. "Y/N, JJ, we're here." Kiara said interrupting your thoughts. JJ's head fell from the back of the seat and he woke up, looking over to you and smiling. You all got out of the van and people were immediately burning their eyes into you and talking under your breaths. "Come on guys." Pope said. JJ intertwined his hand with yours, squeezing onto it for assurance. "It'll be okay." He said. You smiled lightly at him, following him to class and sitting next to him. 30 minutes into class, you got an attachment from an unknown number.

You looked over to Kiara, who was holding her ohone towards you. You nodded and looked over to Pope and JJ, who nodded as well. You got up with Kiara "Uh bathroom", following behind was JJ, and then Pope. You guys ran out of school and onto some picnic tables.

Unknown- *selfie of John B and Sarah*

K- WTF is this you???

Unknown- Is JJ there?

JJ- I'm here Bree

Unknown- Did you pimp my short board?

You all looked at eachother and started smiling and tearing up. JJ did his handshake with Pope and you hugged Kiara. You looked at JJ, feeling all the built up anger and sadness come out, and you jumped into his arms. "They're alive J." You cried into his neck. "I know Y/N, I'm so happy." He smiled and stopped for a moment looking at your eyes, and leaned his head closer to you, attaching his lips to yours. His kisses were desperate, and he was holding onto you tightly. You relaxed into his lips, pulling away for a breath. You stared at him wide-eyed, wondering what the hell just happened. He set you down and said "Uh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that, I was just excited." But before he could keep rambling on, you pressed your lips against his and wrapped your arms around his neck.

"It's okay JJ." You said smiling. He pulled you into a hug and you both turned around to see Pope and Kiara staring at you in shock. Kiara was the first to talk "Told you." She said to Pope who scowled and handed her ten bucks. "You guys betted on us!" JJ yelled. "It was her idea." Pope said pointing to Kiara. She held her hands in the air, and you all laughed. "Let's go clear John B's name!" You cheered, all of you running to the Twinkie. Once the day was over, you and JJ were back in his room, this time he was laying on your chest and playing with your hair. "They're actually alive." He repeated while staring into your obviously brighter eyes. "I told you we could get through it J. You can't kill a Pogue." "Can't kill the Pogues love for each other either." He said winking at you. You rolled your eyes playfully "Oh my god JJ, stop it." You said before kissing him.

When they meet again in Charleston, I would say that I'd imagine JJ and Y/N to go on the break that night instead of Pope and Kiara. Also that puff the magic dragon part, was literally me the other night while I was tweaking on my couch lmaoo.

Hooray! Barrage attack!

1. Are you thinking of pitching this as a show? Or as a comic series? Or have you not decided fully yet? What shenanigans are they gonna be up to?

2. How long have you had your OCs for? What inspired you to make them, and what were their previous incarnations?

3. How did Sonnet and Lithium meet? Does Sonnet know he's... *underneath breath* kind of a stupid idiot? Or does she love him for that?

4. How does fashion work for robots? Since a lot of them have stuff like wire-tails and bright colors. Or does it not really affect them?

- 🔌

P.S: Do you have any tips for escaping... "debt collectors"? I may have accidentally pissed off the... "insurance company".

okay Hi im taking a short break from drawing thangs to answer this :) 1. I don't think i'd ever pitch any of my personal oc stories as a TV show or film. I don't like the idea of losing control and copyright of a story so near and dear to me and esp with the current state media is in a lot of stuff would be censored/edited and because I don't live in the states pitching an animated show or film would probably be near impossible for a story like this anyway. A comic on the otherhand is something im genuinely considering, I'd have to figure out the plot fully and find the time to do something like that as well. The story was written to be easily made into a comic format though. 2. These specific robot characters I've only actually had for like,,, 7 months? A lot of work has gone into them in that time span tho. But I'm sorry there isn't a huge timeline where I'm like "I drew my first robot in 2008 and that is where tandy begun" I kinda always had a background interest in robots that just needed the right spark. Back in 2020 I did some AU art of already existing characters as robots (if you know who these are, hi) but these weren't really proper characters, just a fun art prompt.

But I bought Tandy as an adoptable back last september by the artist @acid-redux heres the original design I bought here:

It's actually by a pretty slim chance that I bought this guy! I saw the character a couple months earlier and decided not to buy him initially and came back, saw it was unsold and thought about it. Even after some people told me it wasn't worth the money to buy it I decided to buy him anyway. I said I had "ideas" for him, and that I did. This is the first drawing I ever did of Tandy, if you're wondering if there's like any art earlier than this like sketches or anything I don't really do that when it comes to drawing characters a lot of the time I just go right in. (also the most recent for comparison)

But yeah I totally fell in love with the character after that! I was instantly keen on doing a story with him though with who or what was debatable. Initially he had literally nobody to interact with, I was already openly objectum at this point so the earliest drawings of him show him interacting with computers.

My bestie Marty tho @bytevamp did a character trade with me and I asked if he could design me a character to interact with Tandy, all I specified was a computer robot that wasn't too close in model as Tandy and he made me Sierra :) his design alongside my first drawing of her:

this was the first drawing of Tandy and Sierra interacting. Tandy doesn't act this meekly in the current story and Sierra is a lot nicer than this to Tandy initially.

and after that I had a third robot that I still haven't found a proper place in my story/introduced him properly. His name is just "Tinbot" and he was meant to be a robot Sierra and Tandy help get back on its feet. I might have plans in the future for him but in the meantime he's on the backburner. (side note wtf is Tandy wearing)

I'd be here all day if I were to say all the robots vs their initial designs. I usually have other people design my robot characters though (sometimes in exchange for robot characters I designed) in the story the robots are built by different people so having a mix of people design them would better give that impression in my mind. My robot characters I design personally usually come from me scribbling ideas on a procreate canvas, saving them for later and if I can't stop thinking about that one robot I drew I'll fully design them, Lithium's first drawing was in the corner of one of these random sketches, something about his lack of fingers and him telling someone to KYS really spoke to me.

3. Speaking of Lithium... I had a few ideas rattling in my brain for how they met, It was either through Cathy, through Max or Lithium met Sonnet while she was working and went OO TINY ROBOT.

As for whether Sonnet realises Lithium is a bit of a dipshit, she's fully aware of his behaviour as much as anyone else is but prefers to view him through his more positive traits. Lithium isn't irredeemable or anything, Tandy just really really hates him

4. Fashion with robots is funny, the tails don't really come into play as much since they usually just stick them over their waistband or cut a hole in their pants since their cables aren't super big. I will say one thing that I don't think I've said before is that robots can actually remove their cable tails and stick them back on when they need to charge or whatever. But if you had the option to have a tail I think most people would say yes, and robots decide that as well. Phillip and Newton decide to do this a lot, Phillip is almost never seen with his tail and Newton takes it on n off or just sticks it in his pants where it doesn't stick out since its shorter. As for colour choice robots don't have any distinct reason to choose the colours they do? Some might prefer high contrast clothing or lighter coloured clothing if their eyesight is better suited for clothes like that.

okay I gotta talk about Cyberpunk 2077

I really really wanted to play this game on launch back in 2020 but it was just...not ready so I avoided it. I also know the game was criticized for some things and a bunch of people made thinkpieces about how you shouldn't play it and all that. and like...sure have your opinions about it, that's fine. I was disappointed at the launch, but content wise I wanted to play the game for myself. so I waited until it went on sale for 50% off this year and bought it on GOG (which, if you're interested, that sale happens at least like twice per month).

before I went on vacation to Europe at the end of June, I finally started it. and I was....kinda in shock????

(keep in mind this is pre-2.0 patch so some of this might be out of date when that comes out)

(major story spoilers below)

first off the character creation is......not amazing? like there's plenty of nice preset options but it's limiting. V's gender being tied to their voice is FUCKING AWFUL, and I do not agree with that direction in the slightest. tbh I think that might be the absolute worst part of the game, where it would have been much easier to just...give you an option for pronouns?? like why was that not the direction wtf. and also having your voice and body type be a prerequisite to romance options too?? I just....UGH there's work to be done here.

past that tho, I love how much personality V has and I love the acting. I went with female V with a Street Kid background. it was really nice seeing how she came back from Atlanta to start back up in Night City and how her relationship with Jackie quickly blossomed. and man these two together were so great. imagine getting close to killing someone and getting arrested and then being like "bruh that cop was a fucking asshole and I'm hungry, let's go get some food bruh" and then I saw The Montage.

man....man oh man that fucking Street Kid montage of V doing jobs with Jackie? with the music in the background? I ended up watching that like 2-3 times (because the game crashed) but i genuinely did like it a lot and it really set me up with for the overall vibe of Night City. I dunno maybe I'm easily entertained but it was...just so cool?? I think it really lends itself to the animation and acting in the game overall. while most basic NPCs are nothing special to talk about, the ones who are, who clearly have some mocap going on with their facial expressions, are a fucking treat to watch regarding body language and subtle facial changes.

I somehow avoided all spoilers of the game for nearly three years (also do not have experience in this IP) so I had no idea who Johnny Silverhand was and his significance to V. I wasn't a huge fan of him in the beginning but I quickly grew to like this asshole, especially as the game progresses and you learn more about him and his ideals and his very flawed perception of the world. I really really wanted there to be a solution where he and V live happily in the end, but ofc this genre does not allow happiness lol. It was very cool to hear his input during some jobs even if I thought they were ridiculous sometimes or he was jumping the gun a bit, and it was nice to get to know him better. I eventually came to see him as a bit of an older brother figure for my V. not perfect and offered "sage" advice when he felt warranted. obviously he has some self interest in keeping V alive because that means he stays alive, but it was very sweet to see him change over time to wanting to genuinely help V out.

by the end, I chose the route to storm Arasaka with Rogue because....why the fuck not, it's not my definitive playthrough. Aaaand I got The Sun ending. Rogue died. and I hated that. but more than that I wasn't happy with my V and her situation, but I'll get back to that in a bit. that brings me to the romance option.

again, I somehow avoided all spoilers for this game and while I vaguely remembered seeing Judy in one of the initial trailers from like...3+ years ago, I couldn't fully remember her role in the story or even what she looked like. all I can say is.....fucking love at first sight.

ok so like...I'm a bit of a simp for nerdy girls. and techy girls. and alt girls. and artsy girls. so to have her be nerdy and techy and alt and artsy and also have hobbies outside of that? man....the second I went to her apartment and learned more about her hobbies and interests, I was fucking smitten. it was super nice to be able to see regular people shit out of a romance option in a major game. and on top of that. her drive and interest in standing up to injustices is admirable. I love her, seriously. she's such a great character.

the romance. man.....I wish I had more words for it, but the way it progresses through the questline, the little hints you get about her own interest in you (Johnny mentioning the way she looks at you and you liking it), the way her texting towards you starts to change over time. I feel like it was paced extremely well within the confines of the game. and then....Pyramid Song happened.

at first, I approached this as any other romance in any other RPG. "oh yay, I can fuck the romance option yaaayyy" but nah. this quest fucking....ruined me in the best way possible. it was beautifully done. the acting, the emotional impact of the lake dive, V and Judy's minds melding into one, learning about Judy's past and hearing her memories... even writing this paragraph now I am near tears because that romance was so fucking well done. like yeah the eventual sex scene was great, but everything leading up to that was absolutely fantastic. to have seen this in a game, especially as a lesbian interacting with a character who ALSO is a lesbian, was just.....ugh it meant so much and I know there's no way a straight man wrote this lmfao.

I also love how after the relationship starts, Judy continuously texts you for A WHILE afterwards. She tells you random things, brings up her thoughts, and eventually tells you how much you mean to her. It is unbelievably cute and I couldn't stop smiling when I read every new text. I really hope they expand this in the update. And if not....well...I may consider doing this myself in a mod or something lmfao.

I also went through Panam's questline and tho it sucks that I couldn't romance her, I did develop a headcanon for V's interactions with her that I made a post about previously. like idk after seeing and meeting her in her quest, she was not at all who I thought she'd be. I was expecting some like....extremely femme prissy woman like...idk Loba from Apex Legends or something who couldn't break a nail or she'd fuss about it (remember I avoided all spoilers of this game lol). but NAH, def not her. she's more like "hey V, how many tons of dynamite do we need to wake up an entire Wraiths camp?" and you know what? I fucking love that shit.

which brings me back to the ending. I had a headcanon for my V that basically goes like this:

V is a Street Kid merc from Night City who comes back from Atlanta to restart her life. She meets Jackie and they quickly become best friends. All the shit about Arasaka happens and Jackie dies. V starts to have second questions about whether or not reaching the top of Night City and becoming the best merc is really what she wants. She's seen death plenty but Jackie's death has haunted her and now she herself dying. In the midst of doing jobs to survive and figuring out how to fix her situation with the Relic, she meets Panam and quickly becomes friends with her. She was a little interested at first but Panam was not. V respected that and did not persist, but they did become very close friends. V eventually meets Judy as well, and while they started off a little rocky, she ends up liking her and eventually they start a relationship. But having that conversation with Judy at the lake about Judy wanting to leave Night City really gets V thinking. But she carries on. Blah blah blah, story stuff, she becomes close to Johnny as well, but eventually I had it in my head that V really loves Judy as a partner and really loves Panam as her best friend so why not live out the rest of her life traveling with the Aldecaldos? She can leave her merc life in Night City and start fresh with her newfound family, best friend, and life partner.

And what do you fucking know, this is actually possible as an ending lmfao. I only just read the endings right after finishing my playthrough and this will be my ultimate goal the next time I play this V in my....prob 3 or 4 playthrough by then.

anyway, enough story. time for gameplay.

so I usually do stealth builds in these types of games. I chose to go with a stealthy throwing knife build (very fun!) after deciding pistols and bladed weapons that aren't knives weren't really for me this time around. I haven't played a ton of stealth-based games, but generally what I've noticed is that they tend to give you routes/pathways to follow if you pay enough attention. like NPCs will have predefined walking routes, the environment will have certain openings/paths available to navigate and either avoid or kill incapacitate these enemies quickly and quietly. I don't feel like I got that sense in this game here? I dunno if it was poor stealth design, but I do think it was this:

this game really REALLY wants you to utilize a cyberdeck, it feels like. interacting with the environment, whether it's creating distractions or blinding enemies or whatever, seems to be the goal with really working with stealth. I can't say that I hate it, esp since that's a part of the game world, but sometimes doing stealth feels more difficult than it should be because of this perceived expectation to...create your own routes and pathways so to speak. the last like...10-15 hours of my playthrough, I ditched the cyberdeck and went with a sandevistan but had invisibillity cloaking to make up for the lack of a deck. still fun but it did feel like I was using cloaking as a crutch to get out of LOS when spotted lol.

I have no opinions on guns and gunplay in this game as I haven't use them yet, but I'm sure I'll have thoughts for 2.0.

text messages were really cool lol. I know they are bascially just predefined messages but I still liked that and I loved how you can talk to characters on holo instead of visiting them in person. idk I'm a sucker for stuff like this.

the perk system is not great, I oftentimes felt confused on what perks to even get because a lot of them were underwhelming and felt more like Fallout 3's "numbers go up" options. the overhaul 2.0 patch will apparently give us more options to play with in terms of changing gameplay so I am hoping the changes will be reminiscent of going from Fallout 3 -> New Vegas in perk style.

Cyberware is great and this is where I feel the game really opens up in playstyle compared to the perks. I'm happy to see this is being extended and armor will be tied to cyberware instead of clothing in 2.0.

vehicles are cool. I like the variety in them but I feel like there could be more. additionally there's so many of them available for free that it almost makes no sense to buy them unless you're just doing completionist stuff. the handling is fucking awful and I hope that improves in the patch.

Night City is absolutely fucking gorgeous in a dirty and grungy kinda way. I've lived in a major city for most of my life and it def gave me that....really raw inner-city feel with people walking fucking everywhere, cars that nearly won't stop til they hit you, stores and shit everywhere, gang members hanging out on the corner or in front of stores, police stopping someone for questioning, etc. I just love it. a lot of it is window dressing. you can't go into like 99.99% of the stores and whatnot in the game. that might bother some folks, and that's understandable, but I'm completely fine that it's all for show. It helps the atmosphere.

I suppose I could talk about how well this game presents the genre as a whole but...I can't. I don't have the background history and knowledge of the IP itself or the genre to really talk about it in detail. If this game comes across as "baby's first cyberpunk experience" or doesn't go too hard in the punk direction then....fine, I guess? Whatever? I still enjoyed it lol. I would like to experience more cyberpunk as my experience so far has been limited to Shadowrun Returns and Dragonfall, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", and Blade Runner. But yeah I'm not an expert here so I mainly just wanted to talk about the gameplay and presentation.

anyway I think that's about all to talk about really. this was more just...stream of consciousness and rambling than anything lol. I had a really awesome time with the game and thought, despite the shitty launch and character creation thing about gender, that it's def worth checking out. can't wait for the DLC and 2.0 update because I will likely eventually talk about stuff that may or may not have changed. this is gonna be the game I focus on heavily for the next few months until I get sick of it. then I might start exploring with mods.

8-Man vs. Cyborg 009 - Volume 2

Love a good 2 volume, short read every now and then. Unlike BGOO Parts, this one didn't outstay its welcome. Nothing ground breaking here, just some crossover fanservice like in the Devilman crossover. Fun times. Interested to see what's next for these franchises.

Ch. 7

8-Man tells Joe and Francoise about his past romantic drama with his secretary Sachiko. Francoise apparently "saw" Sachiko's presence when they were in 8-Man's office and wanted the tea lol.

If they're not gonna let Francoise fight, like ever, can they please introduce another female fighter or something? I'm getting really fed up watching her smile blandly on the sidelines or be a damsel in distress. Like if she's a pacifist, fine! But she's also the only girl cyborg so it feels insulting.

The two page spread of the demon God statue was a good jump scare. Let the final showdown, begin!

Ch. 8

Lol I guess the manga heard my complaints because they finally let Francoise shoot a gun at least. Also, her heightened senses finally did something useful. Alright, fine. You win this time mangaka...

Wait, what the hell!? Pyunma's back to his old racist design! THIS MANGA CAME OUT IN 2020 WTF??? (Good thing I didn't pay for this one lol).

Honestly, it seems ridiculous that Skull would just ignore the other numbers cyborgs. There's no way they wouldn't come after their kidnapped friends...just makes him look really stupid.

The Black Ghost minions were drawn all cutesy in like a chibi form. They look like they could be villains from a Mario game or something lol. Not very intimidating.

Ch. 9

Yaaay 008 pointed out the 8 thing =D lol. Glad he gets to contribute to the battle even though there's no water around lol.

Francoise has a weird bonding moment with Dr. Daemon because he saw her in a ballet once. He's definitely the chiller of the two evils but he's still actively working towards world domination and perpetual wars? I don't think this is really a "there's good in him" moment...

8-man sure loses his arms a lot. Guess they're just trying to emphasize his mechanical body.

I swear they used the EXACT same tactic to topple the demon God statue that they used to topple the Atlas-type robots in BGOO Parts! (006 digs a hole and then 005 pushes the big enemy over). Felt weird to see that used back-to-back in manga published so close to one another. Both times they emphasized it as some kinda ingenious strategy.

Ch. 10

Awe, I really liked this finale. They wrapped everything up in a nice, neat bow and sometimes that's all you want.

So Dr. Daemon was actually playing the long game and never allied with Black Ghost at all! Rather convenient lol. Does they mean the gang wouldn't have been able to defeat both enemies at once?

I completely forgot about Joe's juvenile delinquent backstory. Why do I feel like that doesn't fit his character at all? He's such a bland do-gooder now...Anyway, having 8-Man explain that he was a cop on the scene at the time of Joe's escape attempt was a clever way to tie the two series worlds together in a believable way.

So I guess Dr. Daemon is still not a great guy but not that evil either? I don't know enough 8-Man lore to make a conclusion lol. He seemed pretty okay with the heroes dying earlier, so I guess he's just all for himself.

This chapter got all Ghost in the Shell-y with the reveal that Skull isn't a real person, just a robot with implanted memories. Pretty brutal that he decapitated his own lackeys to prove a point what the heck...what if they weren't robots!?

So Black Ghost is dead "for real" now...riiiight. Until they inevitably get resurrected again for some future manga.

I was kinda shook to find out that Joe's hair is a wig (or maybe it's actually implanted into his scalp? IDK). It doesn't actually make any difference, I just never realized that was the case.

Dr. Gilmore and Dr. Tani being science bros was cute. Also enjoyed seeing Ivan (and his one eye) very briefly.

Nice picturesque ending with Joe and Francoise dropping 8-Man off at Sachiko's house and validating his humanity. Wholesome cyborgs supporting cyborgs.

Omake - Duel

A closer look at some 8-Man/Dr. Tani lore. I kinda wish they didn't include this tbh because it ended this volume on a depressing note.

Damn, if I was Ken I'd probably resent my dad too! Ken was like "you only love 8-Man!" and Dr. Tani was like "that's not true!" but then the second Ken dies Dr. Tani's just like "meh, at least I have 8-Man" lol. Poor Ken!

Speaking of poor Ken...that's one severe widow's peak. On top of having a craptastic life, he's also balding? Oh the humanity!

Dr. Tani acted like Ken being a cyborg with a human brain was a revelation of some sort? Sooo...if Dr. Tani wasn't the one to turn Ken into a cyborg, who did?

Ken's hero suit (or villain suit, I guess) literally just looks like he sharpied some fake pecs on lol. What a weird design choice.

As far as 1960s manga go, I think I prefer Cyborg 009's art style because it's more over-exaggerated and stylized. I think this allows it to hold up more. 8-Man feels more traditionally drawn (more proportional characters).

I'm kinda glad I got a glimpse into the authentic, OG 8-Man for greater context, but I'll also probably just read this again someday if I ever get to that part of MAL haha.

Wait PLEASE tell me more about singing backup choir for 3OH!3 that’s so cool?! (and agree, they do seem like great guys - lots of friends I have from Band World™️ have met them and said they’re lovely)

YESSS... Gather round, let me tell you the tale...

(Read more because it got long lol)

Ok so back in 2020 I was in a kinda relaxed comnunity choir in Denver, and March 3rd is often known unofficially as Denver or Colorado Day (because the date is 3/03, and the original Denver area code is 303). Anyway 3OH!3 was going to have a 303 Day concert, alongside Lil Jon and Breathe Carolina.

So 3OH!3 heard about the choir I was in and reached out to our director to see if we could do choral backup vocals, and she said yes. Our choir has like 100+ people by that time and we only needed like 20, so at our next rehearsal she announced the opportunity and said that you could enter your name into a drawing to be part of the group that would sing. Majority of the members were in their 20s and early 30s, so needless to say, we were familiar with 3OH!3 and very excited. I entered my name in, and was randomly selected!

3OH!3 created some arrangements for us of DONTTRUSTME and My Dick (yes, that song). Mainly we'd be singing with the synths etc in the background, and especially during the instrumental only part of the full, non radio version of DONTTRUSTME.

The subset of the choir met up a few days before the show to rehearse. Next day was another rehearsal and Sean and Nat were there to rehearse with us (and also record us to overdub our vocals if needed... we'd only have a few mics to pick us all up, plus no IEMs, just regular monitors, so there was a risk of either us screwing up due to us just being a bunch of choir nerds and not professional backup singers or the sound not picking up well). They were really great dudes, very down to earth and kind and gracious. You could tell they were smart guys and genuinely talented.

And that brings us to the actual show! It was at the Mission Ballroom, and us choir members checked in for soundcheck and got our VIP full access passes etc, then we rehearsed once more. We decided to do a "traditional" line up and file in entrance to the stage, where we had some risers to stand on. Partially to play up the "wtf why is a choir singing backup vocals for songs containing the lines 'do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips' and 'everytime I look at my dick I'm like holy shit that's a huge dick'" factor, but mainly because that's the most efficient way for us to get on stage and all stay in vocal part order lol.

We didn't have a dressing room per se, but we were assigned the VIP room backstage as our dressing room. We hung out and watched the show via a big TV, and occasionally some of us went out to the VIP area or side stage to watch in person. We did some warmups before we went out, and we knew our starting note was a G, so a bunch of us launched into a quick singalong of Welcome to the Black Parade before actually warming up lmaooo.

The first song we sang was My Dick, and we lined up backstage, filed out onto our risers, got our starting note from our leader, and started singing. The audience went INSANE over this, it was incredible (and hilarious). Please imagine about 5 basses/tenors and 5 altos chorally bragging about dick sizes. Completely incredible. We were getting a little off tempo because none of us could hear anything, so the drummer very quietly played the kick drum in time to the click track for us lol.

After the song we filed back out, and a couple songs later came back out for DONTTRUSTME which was the last song. We stayed up there while they bowed and said their thanks etc and they also hyped up the crowd for us too and had us bow. So much fun. The place was absolutely PACKED and I was a bit nervous at first that we'd mess up or people would find it weird, but instead it went over very well, and I was so so happy.

It was probably one of the best days of my life, and it was a very cherished memory to think about especially because choir rehearsals got canceled for about a year just 5 days later due to the pandemic 😭

But yeah! That's the story of the time I sang backup choir for 3OH!3!

(I'm the second person from the right)

Bonus odd stories from that night:

Sometime before we sang, one of the guys from our choir needed to go to the bathroom, and the bathroom was the performers' bathroom backstage. Apparently it was very clean with a shower and all sorts of hygiene products. The guy for some reason took a tampon that was stocked in that bathroom as a souvenir, because why not. At some point, some random drunk lady came wandering into our room and was like "hi! You know Breathe Carolina? I'm one of their moms!" And we were like "ok cool!" And then the aforementioned guy was like "hey will you sign this tampon?" And she did?? Fucking hilarious.

When the show was over, we went back to our room to pack up and head out, and briefly after that when only a few of us were left, Lil Jon and a few of his buddies(?) found out room and was like "Woah! A PINBALL machine!" The pinball machine was broken, which one of us mentioned, and he was like "That's STUPID!" and left. Absolutely bizarre experience.

I'm not in that choir anymore, mainly due to me moving away from Denver, but that was seriously one of the best times of my life.

#ironically I'm wearing my choir shirt right now!#thank you for asking!! that was fun to remember

Wtf man. Who’d send you death threats?!?! That’s awful…I am still part of the TG fandom and I was around back in the prime days (2017-2020 ish) to hear that you got those messages makes me so mad.

I remember vividly reading your old fics like the Misadventures of Goat and Nothing more nor less than a mask and just thriving off those when new chapters came out! Or any of your idea posts!

Also to all the other kind members of that fandom made it a really special little community. I miss all the art and fics and blogs…I’m sad it went sour…( it actually made me leave the fandom for a while! )

Anyways, hope you’re having a good day!

Thank you; I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed those! Those stories were so fun to write haha.

And I'm doing well; haven't gotten death threats in years now, so knock on wood I'm over that! It's just an unfortunate association I now have with the fandom. That said, I'm planning on diving into Choujin X later this summer so, it hasn't affected my love of Ishida's works at all!

Have two lumps of sugar.

now all the art has been done for the update, (minus the sixsona aspect) what are your top 3 things coming? 💜

Virtual cinnamon roll to you for knowing sixsona goes first. Because yes. That goes first. After that

Hair: with the update I got to a point where I was super burnt out of making hair and finishing was a struggle. But now that I am putting together the files for that I've been on a constant stream of "right I made this" "it came out really nice actually". And I am the worst at accepting praise let alone giving it to myself so that says a lot. Also with the new colors I have to go through all the hair files to recolor and set up stuff so its been a lot of really fun rediscovery.

Makeup: if I have a most requested thing it has to be makeup. Back when I made the game there was just no way to make it work, and it was almost at the top of the very first what would I want to do if I end up making this thing list back in 2020. But since then meiker released new features and I was finally able to make this one a reality.

The great cleanup (part 1): to say my art has improved since 2020 is an understatement so obviously a lot of things in the game aren't up to my current standards. I didnt go through everything but a few things got some really needed edits and upgrades (not to mention all the diff costume style things I added). A part 2 where I go at everything else will eventually happen but so far I can't wait for everyone to see the upgrades

(Bonus because I say so) the great structure overhaulTM: most of this will only be visible to me but the general change of the game structure will hopefully fix some issues and improve functionality for everyone. Also this saves me a few thousand layers that now have the new hair colors. And I am kind of looking forward to the wtf order is different confusion this will create.

✨ shuffle your ‘on repeat’ playlist and list the first 10 songs that play, then tag 10 people ✨

There is no way I’m tagging 10 new people, but I was tagged by good friend and music enthusiast @smallvoids, so I gotta share something. Alas, I do not use spotify enough for it to have useful data (it literally just made up songs I’ve never heard and put them on the list wtf) so instead I’m shuffling my “heavy on repeat” playlist from apple music:

The Oh Hellos – Cold (2020) Honestly, their whole discography could've been on here. I do listen to a lot of the oh hellos, and their songs often end up in my d&d character playlists.

Hildegard von Blingin' – Paint It Black (2023; original from 1966) A bardcore cover of the rolling stones song. I listened to this artist on repeat the other day, and she is now the most represented artist on the playlist.

Cold Moon – Access Control (2021) Sometimes you search desperately for any song to add to a specific character playlist, and you find one that kinda fits, and then suddenly you've listened to it dozens of times just because it's on there. This is one of those songs to me.

Hildegard von Blingin' – Save Your Tears (2021; original from 2020) There she is again! A the weeknd cover, whom I don't especially care for but whatevs. If you like "medieval" compositions and the old singular second person pronoun thee/thou/thy, I recommend von blingin'. She's also on youtube.

Reinaeiry – How Lovely (2021) Speaking of youtube, that's where I found reinaeiry, a Singapore-based artist who makes sapphic covers of other songs and also original sapphic music.

MisterWives – Our Own House (2015) This one's on a dancing in the kitchen playlist. not the most danceable of the songs on there, but it's pretty alright

Hildegard von Blingin' – Jolene (2020; original from 1973) Von Blingin' again! My gf made me listen to beyoncé's horrendous jolene cover recently and I died a little inside—this poetic bardcore version cured me afterwards.

Amber Run – Honeylight (2023) This one came recommended (for a d&d character playlist) by @smallvoids so that's fitting. It's no secret that I mostly listen to video game music and character playlists…

Tommy Newport – Marigold (2021) Same playlist as above. The character's name is Marigold, and I found three songs by that same name to add to her playlist lol.

SIAMES – No Lullaby (2019) If you haven't seen their animated music videos, you're missing out. Sorry if you hate videos as a concept ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Does it count if I tag @10people ?

#surprised to find zero Darren Korb or Austen Wintory #but this playlist is based on stuff I've listened to the most in a very recent time window I think #I thought I had a return to Foo Fighters‚ but I guess not enough to make the list
