#and during lockdown as well

I love how LMM always illustrates mental anguish through academic struggle. No dark academia sublimation of emotional burdens through intellectual validation for her.

#i'm thinking mostly of emily's performance tanking at shrewsbury during her weirdness with ilse #as well as being told repeatedly that jane does poorly at st agathas when she's upset about her father #jane of lantern hill #emily of new moon #lm montgomery #lantern hill book club #lmm lockdown

kind of obsessed with the not good episodes of twin peaks

#are they good not really no. are they boring yes. but they're kinda fun to watch idk😭 #i'm only on like the second not that good episode though maybe i'll get tired of it #the first time i watched the show i watched it all in like four days because i really wanted to watch fire walk with me and thirty episodes #in four days isn't even that crazy but i couldn't do it now because i have school and stuff... #i actually also had school then but it was during covid not during a lockdown (we had a second lockdown like a month after) but my #university was doing a thing where half of the students had class in person and the other half had class at home and then we'd switch and i #watched it during a week where i was home because i was NOT working. and so i watched the second half of season 2 quickly even though i was #like oh this. well it's not good exactly. #then fire walk with me made me want to kill myself and i started watching twin peaks the return but i only finished watching that this #summer hihi haha😁 #anyway #and like i say: brf slt

i agree with a lot of music fans and journalists/critics/artists that “lockdown”/“pandemic”/“quarantine” albums usually aren’t great and also don’t do very well, but i do think there is one truly incredible (at least in quality i haven’t looked at numbers and tbh i don’t really care) and maybe not the most obvious exception (well maybe it is obvious but i don’t see this album talked about a lot since like the month it came out and i don’t think i’ve seen it talked about in the conversations about art inspired by covid-19/lockdowns). anyway can we play a little game where you guys guess what album it is (this might help me find more good music or at least music you think i’d like as well as be [hopefully] fun!)

#i would also exclude folklore/evermore and unreal unearth from that statement not just bc i think they’re great but mostly bc i wouldn’t #call them ‘pandemic’ albums #like obviously folklore and evermore were made during that time but only two songs on folklore reference the pandemic/lockdown/isolation and #it’s sort of referenced in the sound in that both of those albums are generally quieter for taylor and that might reflect the actual #emotions of isolation and loneliness but i don’t think the sound necessarily reflects/refers to the actual material conditions of #lockdown or covid-19 #rather folklore/evermore contain just a few lyrical and sonic references to the emotions caused by that situation but again. not as many as #there were initially perceived to be #side note i think actually the most ‘lockdown’ song on folklore or evermore is mirrorball #and i think the reason mirrorball works so well is that despite the fact that both the overall concept of the song and the lyrical content #seem to directly reference covid-19 lockdowns and closures #it (mirrorball) is still extremely relatable #and i think what’s absolutely true about the album i’m referring to in the actual text of the post #is that it is at least mostly very relatable for most people (although probably for women in particular) #and actually i would say that the album im talking about has very similar themes and concepts to mirrorball but translates and expands upon #them into the form of an entire album #ok very long side note over. in terms of unreal unearth not being a lockdown album it’s true that andrew has literally said it’s not one #but also there aren’t even any small lyrical sonic or conceptual references to the pandemic like i mentioned there are a few on folklore #and evermore. #i did watch an interview where andrew says there /might/ be one lyrical reference but i can’t find it (message me if you know what he meant) #i would call unreal unearth something that i think andrew is understandably hesitant to refer to it as #and that is a breakup album #and i think the reasons he’s hesitant to call it that is that sometimes when people say a piece of media is about a breakup they use that to #reduce both the emotions and experiences covered in the work and the quality of the work #but i also think that in music specifically breakup albums are often (not always. often) a seminal important and iconic moment in a career #and are in many cases considered by many to be the best or at least the most iconic albums by an artist #examples of that include Rumours and even Red #congrats if you read all these tags you’re a real champ #i have so much to say about this topic and topics related to it sorry! #love ya and please take a guess

Love how my family think they know they complete ins and outs of chronic depression, "just do it, you'll have to eventually to live, make that your motivation" oh wow thanks ive never thought of that before

#gamer txt. #''if you cant do in person college then why not online?'' ''there'd be nothing making me do it- if i didnt feel like it then i wouldnt'“ #''well then id make you do it'' you tried to do that during lockdown remember? the team calls? both of us gave up after a week #''well you need to do something you need to be able to survive'' i dont even know if i want to right now #''theres a walking group that does wednesdays at 10:30-'' I KNOW!!! DON'T YOU THINK IVE THOUGHT ABOYT THAT #DONT YOU THINK I WANTED TO AND THEN WAS IMMOBILISED BY FEAR #what part of 'im scared of everyone n everything/i have no motivation to do anything/and i dont care if i live or die' isnt getting through #come on #dont you think im trying #i need to be able to want to live before i can actually make it possible you know

i think qsmptwt ppl who have no idea how to be patient to wait for things to happen should be sent back in time and forced to be a 2021-2024 houseki no kuni fan so they can be humbled. you know nothing of patience until you have waited more than an actual year for a single chapter that stopped at a pivotal moment in the story. i think they could learn from it

#discourse #sorry its just that. to me the whole qsmptwt thing really just feels like. these guys dont know how to be patient. #when nothings solved right away that means its doomed when thats not how the world works #wow that last one made me sound so old lmao #oh well #i def think its cuz of like lockdown and the types of drama/discourse that happened during that

[catsniffer420]

just got jumpscared by my computer............

just opened up my Laptop and the browser window was on a bunch of reference journal articles for my thesis. i audibly made a sound of surprise and almost gagged

#part of it is due to my Leo Sun nature. i denied the melodrama allegations for a long time but unfortunately they are all true #the other part is just genuine dread and horror at anything related to my thesis #i only signed up for this degree because i figured i may as well get educated during the pandemic lockdowns #but it turns out that is Not a good reason to sign up for a masters degree! #je souffre #diary

[viir-tanadhal]

i know for every album reviewers say "this is their best album since [blank]" but idk seeing a french journalist say nonetheless is really good... i'm scared. not for the quality but specifically myself because that means this album will Get me

#and to say that about their album written during lockdown #well i have a hunch about that but that's as of yet to be confirmed #will need to listen to the full album to draw any conclusions #but it's 🤨 #but not surprised at all #2015 iykyk

Jacinda just resigned.

#i feel more about this than expected. #she was a politician who didn't try to act like a man to be authoritative #i mean we had Helen Clark. who i also admired. but she was kinda terrifying from memory #although i was a lot younger #Jacinda on the other hand was able to be nice as well as the authority. gentle. understanding. #all sorts of things i'm not used to seeing from people in charge #my department's egm was like this during the lockdowns too which was another great example #but its an even better example when its your PM #she's also 2 days older then me 😅 #so i feel perhaps more of a connection than inusually would to a politician #i mean i get it. if i'd had to run the effing country through a volcanic disaster. a terrorist attack. and a pandemic i'd be tired too! #her comment to Clark saying lets get married now was adorable #and her feeling on her decision was so evident #while Labour didn't achieve nearly as much as I'd hoped it wasn't exactly a smooth run so i get it #but #thank you Jacinda #jacinda ardern #nz #new zealand #politics #real life

Also seit Corona gucke ich Die Anstalt nicht mehr. Ich hab die Sendung wirklich jahrelang abgefeiert, obwohl die beiden jetzt auch nicht der Schramm sind… aber jetzt sind die umgefallen. Aber dass die mich jetzt hier eingeladen haben, um auch mal Kritik zu äußern, zeugt natürlich auch von einer gewissen Größe.

Kritiker zu Besuch | Die Anstalt vom Juni 2020

English translation below the cut

Since Corona I am not watching Die Anstalt anymore. I have really been celebrating this show for years, although the both of them aren't exactly Schramm [Georg Schramm, former host of the show]... but now they gave in. But that they have invited me here now to voice criticism also testifies a certain greatness.

Critic on a visit | Die Anstalt from June 2020

MU: "Claus?" CvW: "Yes..."

MU: "What kind of camera team is that outside and who are they talking to?" CvW: "Ah, that's the documentary they are making about us."

CvW: "The one with- the motto 'How critical are the critics.' Because of the Corona-crisis and so on." CvW: "They have sent us a regular viewer, a disappointed one, now. He's supposed to criticise us."

MU: "What? These are our viewers?"

CvW: "I think it's a shit idea, too!"

#the well-established “gifs nobody needs" series continues #in this episode: j why did you gif two guys in a corridor with a coffee machine? #i don't know? nobody was there to stop me i guess #i like these kind of episodes they made during lockdown where we got a glimpse backstage and a very different way to structure the show #also a hilarious way to respond to criticism. max as the critical viewer was gold. so annoying xD #die anstalt #max uthoff #claus von wagner #my edit #my gif #kritiker zu besuch

Play Tetris it's supposed to help with very recent trauma

thank you but unfortunately this is not a recent trauma, it's an old bereavement which i randomly got some closure on today. i'm actually really glad i found out the stuff i found out today, even though in the short term it made me cry a lot!!!

#not going to go into detail but a close friend of mine passed away during covid and bc of the lockdown it was obviously hard to grieve #and i didn't know his family very well so i never found out exactly what happened to him or how he was laid to rest #and today i just randomly found that stuff out #which is really good to know and i'm glad i know #but i think i had really been repressing a lot of my grief about it and that just hit me like a ton of bricks today lol #i guess i kinda did go into detail there #anyways. thank you genuinely for your concern and for trying to help!! ily #🧃

All connected😍😍! I’ve decided to rewatch the series after New Year with the eye of a new shipper. Nothing will stop me even if I don’t think german dubs episides are available :(. I also wanted to say why I gave you the kudo :)’ : there ‘s too much oc style in shippings in Frontier tag, when they are adults even worse. When I read your fics I get feeling J.P and Zoe are very into themselves even when you add your hcs like the voiceactors cat one. I hope Jp can get cat for Zoe…And Zoe gets baby

Grazie! Grazie! Grazie mille again, Anon💕! A very messy and trashy sketch for you. I’m so happy when my ultimate bbies get appreciated uh…💕.

Junpei got her the kitty but he got scratched because Junpei is Junpei. Izumi surely hurries to take care of her big singing teddybear.

#junzumi #digimon frontier #junpei shibayama #izumi orimoto #I can draw them so badly but they still put a big smile on my fave because they’re my everything #junpei #izumi #they discover kitty is white and not grey #she was full of dirt and needed a bath #first bath will be hell #junpei is so bad but Izumi is as well #they will call her Musetta after a Boheme character because…Junpei no….. #their first child 🤣 #Kou will come during lockdown #zura’s sketches

I built crazy upper body strength doing monkey bars in my teen years (hugee trapezius and back muscles)i was so good at it random grown men would come up to me and challenge me lol i ofc won every single time😌. My point is you should get a pull up bar its gonna do wonders for you upper arms and shoulders

oh wow i was terrible awful henious horrendous at the monkey bars 😔 no strength in my hands back then never mind my arms. but!! i do have a pull-up bar thing that slots onto the doorframe now. i always feel like i can do a pull up but i really really can’t lmao. apparently just hanging there is… something though 🤔 so i do have hanging time every day but also i’m pretty sure building muscle isn’t just a matter of putting those guys in situations. sadly

#idk i did have a very short period during lockdown where i was so bored i actually built some shoulder muscles #and i could life like… i think they were 12.5kg barbells? but… well… that didn’t last long #maintaining muscle mass is just hardmode imo plus i started running again and it’s impossible to keep up #with the old metabolism then 😔 #but yeah it was so cool being strong for a while #and i’m envious of the monkey bar proficiency that’s the only thing holding me back from my tomb raider-style adventure #smh i could never be a protagonist in a linear platforming game #i have been doing knee raises while on the pull-up bar but lmao that’s abs day again #anon

From 2020 winter where I spent as much time as possible outside wandering around with a disposable camera

#some of these photo are so bad but I kind of love them #kept putting my finger of the lens 🙄 #I went to a lot of old churches #the top one is from the 10th century I think I love it so much #photos #photography #home #film photography #filmisnotdead #uk #I did not deal well with having to be inside during lockdowns lmao #the top 2 photos are my two favourite churches
