theshaderoom: Is a congratulations in order for Drake and Y/N??? A couple months ago there were rumors of the couple getting married but they were shut down by close sources but apparently things have now changed.

According to People Magazine, the pair had a private wedding in Toronto, days before Christmas. Only close friends and family were in attendance, including Y/N best friend Urban Wyatt.

#Roomies send your congratulations to the couple down below!

Lappy fancam animatic blogging/production notes

now that wolfgirlyaoi is out on global its rambling time about my powerpoint presentation

Concept

Originally I wanted to do an (Tex & Lapp) animatic with the boss theme (broken wall/Signore dei Lupi .mp3) ever since the event dropped but I thought 1) by the time I finished anything someone else would have probably already done it first (lol, lmao even) 2) I remembered the song exists and how much i looped it then while listening to the group's new album drop and thought the lyrics fit Lapp a little too well and also doesn't end abruptly like the boss theme + was shorter so yea

initial stickman storyboard where i put down the lyrics with event dialogue/happenings that i felt would fit nicely together > hastily scribble the images that form in my head

storyboards were basically what i wanted to see (same rule as my comics) lol especially if they weren't shown in the event CGs, eg. there's a CG of the truck crashing into the courtroom so I didn't do that but they didn't mention her physical acting in that scene + the song I used has a bow/salute at that exact part in their live choreo with the very similar line so I wanted to do a homage even though-

-I was like it's going to be such a pain to figure out an economical hand twirl and bow but I have to do this I need to transplant the image in my brain onto the screen because official media did not do a—

Honestly still don't know if its a common phrase and action combo because I was having so much trouble finding external references that wasn't just scrubbing the live video over and over anyway

part of the storyboards were 'recycled' from comic drafts I did (of the chocolate scene because ofc) when the event was running on CN

Originally I wanted to draw Lapp feeding Texas for The Girlyaoi Funny but I wanted to reference the plaque you get which is a Creation of Adam reference right but I also saw people saying it's referencing the scene from Silence of the Lambs lol so...peel the layers to your liking!!

(The chocolate flavour choice was from asking my Columbian friends what the worst chocolate flavour they ever tried which was white coconut)

my sorry attempt at colour keys > final spreadsheet to keep track of progress and paste all the dialogue i put in

Art Direction

A bunch of shots/colour schemes are references to Måneskin's stuff or other media tehepero I'll just put a few here

At first I was going to limit red/blue to tex/lapp respectively but since Omertosa is blue I just did away with that rule and lapp gets to have both (and more!) these two colours have pretty obvious emotional readings I think but also

red = self blue = society Siracusa or: red = yaoi & blue = yuri

for the others:

Purple = Alberto/Saluzzo, its not orange like the fruit he keeps holding because see below; I needed the colour for something else LOL Also the Saluzzos are iirc nobility or whatever and they have purple hints in their clothes so I think it was a good fit anyway

Yellow/Orange = Its supposed to be representing the last word in the story which apparently, yostar went with 'Savagery' which is Correct I guess but (laments again about how nuance is lost in localisation because imo savagery has a more derogatory kind of connotation while I think 蛮荒 in context of the story also has a 'nature/untouched by civilisation' side to it) which is why Texas setting the house on fire was not (entirely) red but orange (and it complements the blues both visually and thematically) and it's yellow at the end when they're frolicking(?) in the wilderness lol

(these colour rules don't apply to the penglog shot and technically a few frames like the shot with shocked penance, the one right after and 'im just lappy' because...i forgor my own rules lol)

The greens/teals were just a reference to the shades in the 3DPV I think

The silhouette/general style was inspired from the 3D teaser thing they had at the beginning of the 3.5 anniversary stream and the card suits that I..forgot to move to the other layers which is why only the green one had them (supposed to be 1 per set 💀)

The clash bit is basically the same as the event CG but with a flipped camera/POV sorry for world's worst screenshot lmao. Couldn't imagine the poses in my head so I ended up posing 3d models in CSP pretty good posing practice

These shots got rendered extra because..they were the first frames I started on and I was still figuring out how much to simplify lol

I also posed the chairs shot for some inexplicable reason…my file was lagging so bad

Headcanon part (kind of)

The childhood flashback scene is probably the part I took the most liberties (headcanon) on since it's not explicitly canon like the rest...the sequence/how I connected the scenes itself to fabricate a timeline of her childhood was kind of inspired by some weibo post musing about how (iirc) texas's sweet tooth maybe came from when she was being fostered at casa Saluzzo and Lapp treating her like a pet essentially and giving her a lot of treats since...you know what happened to her actual pet hehe except maybe texas offered her a stick first and then Lappy just reciprocated endlessly because its one of the few 'acts' she knew that wasn't violence haha yeah this section was basically a stealth doujin sorry

It's mentioned that she was brought up as the ideal Siracusan or whatever and she does the cute doodle in the 3DPV so I thought she probably had the Forced Music Lessons as a kid (The music sheets are Bella Ciao and of course)

The bow choreo was the one thing i really wanted to animate but the music sheet segment (based on that one split second shot above) ended up being my favourite part even though compositing the motion was a mini hell on it's own (ended up compiling a long png to scroll by with the red doodles layered over)

Other things

I will never live down my (self-imposed) shame of misspelling the title (I fixed the title on youtube but its why the ending shot in the upload says ZittE e Buoni instead of ZittI e Buoni) don't rush your fancam in 10 days 😔

I didn't look through the entirety of the EN loc but Idk why they had Lappy say 'Then go.' to Texas when it's supposed to be more like 'Let's go.' as in, 'let's go together' as opposed to 'alright off you go to the greyhall alone' lmfao also her saying goodbye forever padre when addio is right there

I don't think I'm insane enough to do another ppt soon but man this pair really makes the 'imagines a whole music video while listening to music' part of my brain go wheee like first it was Starset's Manifest then Signore de Lupi then this and while working on this one i was thinking how Måneskin's Torna A Casa would be another good track

ok ty for reading #GIRLYAOIREAL

Day 4 of writing for blade until he comes home.

Blade x fem! Reader

Minors/blank blogs dni

This mini 'series' doesn't have an official timeline, it's all over the place, aka tomorrow I might write their first meeting only to write their 1st year anniversary the next day. Just an example.

Warnings: implied violent thoughts, mention of murder/death, slight possessiveness if you squint, toxic-ish relationship cuz blade would not be able to keep a healthy one, implied past sex.

Could be read as yandere but not intended to be. So I'll tag it just in case.

In which you're scared but unable to walk away.

==

You can't help but walk on eggshells around him.

No name given to you, your brother basically shoving this 6'2 man to you, who looks so bored it could practically be his entire personality. Black hair that reaches below the waist, the tips red. His eyes are also a unique color, red with golden rings within. And he's your 'travel buddy', which is really a nice way to say bodyguard.

It's been two since then, no longer as naive as you once were, unable to ignore the shady business your brother partakes in. Unable to pretend that this man seated next to you on your own bed, is anything but a crazed criminal, his wanted posters being torn down as quickly as possible outside. But for your own safety, you still play the part of a naive young woman - barely any knowledge of the outside world yet a bit temperamental at times.

You're scared of being killed.

Hurt.

Tortured.

And so much worse and even so, you allowed him in, Blade looking around your room with some interest. Books scattered around instead of being placed in the bookshelf, stuffed animals decorating your bed's corners and the opposite side of your perfered sleeping spot. A computer desk that's way too cluttered with resumes and job sites, a few empty coffee cups from earlier that day -

You allowed this criminal into your room. The worst part was that he wasn't the only one - your brother counts, too. And Kafka as well. And maybe even you, just for being related to and associated with them.

Maybe you're even worse.

You allowed yourself to become involved both romantically and sexually with a wanted criminal, one who may go crazy at any moment. It's even worse when you bring up the fact he's Mara struck, if you heard right. The worst part is that you're considering alerting the authorities.

You only found out their names through the wanted posters and kept your mouth shut about it.

No wonder your brother was so paranoid about leaving you alone. He can't monitor your activities, your access to the internet, can't control where you go outside. But he couldn't exactly keep you locked up either, the guilt would kill him. But apparently the guilt wasn't enough, still forcing you to act like the perfect sister, never ask questions and play pretend.

He knows that you know.

You just hope that Blade doesn't.

"It's your first time being in my room, huh?"

And hopefully the last.

"Hm." Blade doesn't say much, arms crossed and doesn't say much. Or anything at all really, letting out a sigh after a few more minutes of silence.

You forgot why he's even here.

"Your brother is worried about you," he doesn't look at you and you don't look at him. Your attention is on the T.V, trying to tune out his voice, his smell, his very presence because if you don't, you might scream. Scream at him for keeping it a secret, for lying to you too, for making you fall for him when he's the incarceration of evil -

He hasn't exactly given you a proper reason to be afraid of him. But after reading his list of crimes, it's hard to see him in the same light, especially when there's video evidence, victim reports from those who managed to get away somehow. Just when you finally were starting to open up to him, getting to know him properly, you found out everything thanks to a single wanted poster shown on the screen for but a second before the channel was changed by a maid.

Everyone knew expect you.

"Is he now? Hard to believe considering he sent a man into my room instead of a woman." You don't mean to bite back, but it's either that or let the fear reveal itself in your voice. Your actions. So, you cut yourself off from him, reverting to your past self from a year ago when you first met him.

Masking your fear with annoyance. Convincing yourself he's annoying rather than scary. It barely worked and it's barely helping now.

"He knows I don't have any dubious intent concerning you. I don't see why you're so uncomfortable with this, considering we... 'shared' a hotel room once. Plus the door is open," he gestures to it with his head.

The memory of the hotel room brings warmth to your face. Whispered praises, soft touches, kisses that lasted longer than needed. You can feel him looking at you, now.

You still don't look at him. Your entire body is tense, and it's obvious be can tell. From the way he decides to look at you and take in your appearance, to how he raises a brow, not understanding just why you're like this.

You did a 180.

From sharing secret and gentle touches, hidden kisses in the hallways, lingering looks as you pass by each other. Now you can barely look at him, and you're aware he's confused and maybe even a bit hurt - if he wasn't using you. It was a perfect plan on his part, worming his way into your heart, insurance in case anyone were to find out and rat him out, you could be there to lie for him.

But everything felt too genuine and that makes the matter worse.

"It's stuffy in here," standing up, you smooth out your dress, the skirt all wrinkled now. You try to ignore the way Blade stares at you, from your face to the way your legs move, unable to settle on one place. You can't tell if you're shivering from fear or slight arousal.

Just like how you can't tell if he wants to love you or kill you at times.

You're scared that he's going to hurt you. Go crazy and kill everyone in this house. Hurt himself.

You both fear and love him, but the fear is stronger than the love.

Blade reaches out from his position on the bed, hands resting on your sides before bringing you closer. You don't resist, allowing him to place you between his legs, trying your best not to flinch. He hasn't hurt you yet, he's still being gentle, he's still -

"We're the only ones here right now. Everyone left to either go home or attend to their business." His thumbs rub circles into your hips, tilting his head as his eyes travel between your thighs and your chest.

Your body freezes over. He just said your brother sent him to check on you, and now he's asking for...?

"I'm... I'm not really in the mood." You squeak in surprise when he brings you down with him, straddling him as he lays on his back. Locking eyes with you, his hands travel lower until they rest on your upper thighs. He hums in content.

"I know. But it's the perfect time for you to tell me what's wrong." The way his fingers dig into your flesh unsettles you. The look in his eyes do as well, both possessive and cautious. How did you not notice this before?

"Just tired. I didn't realize job hunting could be tedious," you settle down on him, gently placing your hands on his lower abdomen like you always would, drawing circles on it. When unsure and scared, revert to old habits that led to positive results.

You could feel him relax to your touch. Like his worries were disappearing, but not fully. You try your best not to cringe when one of his hands clasps over yours. His hold on it is gentle.

You wonder if these same hands strangled someone to death, or if he just stabbed them. They're blood stained, and you had allowed them to touch you, pleasure you, comfort you. And now they might strangle you someday, if he doesn't stab his sword through your heart first. And yet, despite everything, it still feels nice.

"Hm. Something else is going on in that head of yours," his grip on your hand gets tighter. In the past, you thought he would do such things because he didn't want to let go. But now knowing his past, finally putting a name to the look in his eyes, you're sure he wants to hurt you.

You remember him saying how to love something is to kill it, and to kill it is to love it.

You're scared he was talking about you. You want him to use you if loving you meant killing you. Because then throwing you away wouldn't spell the end of your life. But loving you would.

Even so, it almost hurts to think that.

"I wish you would tell me your real name." You all but sigh out, dropping your weight onto him, chest pressed against his, head nuzzled into the crook of his neck. He can't see your expression this way, the way your lips quiver and how wide your eyes are with every passing second.

His arms enclose around you, and for once, you hate how touch starved he is. You hate how his touch both comforts and horrifies you. You can't make you your mind, but you're still scared of him regardless.

He doesn't say anything, but once again, his grip gets tighter and tighter until -

"I know that you know."

Talk Garden vol.6！〜Everyone's Valentine And Delicious Chocolate♡〜

Vol.6 of Wakana's Talk Garden has been uploaded! ＼＼\\٩( 'ω' )و //／／ First of all, thank you so much for sending me so many Valentine's Day memories! ! 😂😂 I was wondering what would happen after I had made my blog post last time because it was so close to the deadline, surprisingly, it turned out to be the highest number of submissions ever! ! ! *laughs* There were so many people who sent a submission for the first time! ! 😭[I was one of them XD] I really felt everyone's love...😭✨It's almost as if I received Valentine's Day gifts a little early...😭💕I'm so grateful💕 As always, it was fun talking to you! ︎Sharing everyone's stories, tears, laughter, and warmth...♡ But!!When it comes to tragic stories, no one can beat me! ! 🤣 I don't think anyone reasonable would disagree with me on this, right? 😂😂 *laughs* (By the way, now that I think about it, it might have been 3rd grade instead of 1st grade *laughs*) Well, those are treasured memories...😌✨ [Note: She is talking about something "incredibly sad" that happened to her in elementary school. There was a boy she liked a lot so Wakana asked her mum to help her prepare some chocolate for him. After she gave him the chocolate he was quite apologetic and pretty much told her straight-up that he didn't like her. Needless to say, Wakana's little heart was broken into pieces.]

In the last blog post, I talked about a``mysterious chocolate that was so delicious but I couldn't remember its name,'' I did my best to search for it and... I actually discovered it! ! ･:*+.\(( °ω° ))/.:+ I managed to order it from an official website that said they would ship it right away! ! Ta da~♡

The mysterious delicious chocolate shop is actually a Belgian chocolate specialty store called “Rêve De Bijoux”! Apparently it's a select shop that sells a variety of Belgian chocolates that are carefully selected every year･:*+.\(( °ω° ))/.:+ It is not the same chocolate I used to eat, their selections seems to have evolved so the "chocolate of memories" no longer exists🤔I decided to choose a chocolate that had a similar shape to the one I had gotten in the past, I also chose a brand that I had purchased before😁

This is ZUUT's new product, "ZUUT Praline -2024 New Selection-"🍫 (I've bought some of their chocolate before) Way too beautiful...✨ It's almost a waste to eat them...✨(I will though)

And this is the chocolate of my memories, Rêve De Bijoux! ! (the box itself has not changed at all) The contents are all new though, I haven't had any of these before! This truffle seems to be very popular 😳💓 I am sharing my reaction on the podcast! ! So be sure to listen to it😆

And here is the decaffeinated coffee I drank with my chocolate ☕️ It's the instant coffee on the right. Although it is caffeine-free, it has a strong refined taste and is delicious 😳 (despite being instant) Personally, I like the fact that there is not a lot of acidity! What's even better is that it's organic and decaffeinated without the use of chemicals ♡

The drip coffee on the left is not decaffeinated but I really like it ☕️ It's called Cafe Verona from Starbucks. It has a very bitter taste that I occasionally crave😍

I had a lot of fun ordering chocolates and taking advantage the talk theme for the episode 😂 If you have any delicious sweets or foods you recommend, please let me know 😄 The next talk theme for March 10th will be “Graduation Memories”! ! Memories of your graduation ceremony from your school days, or when you graduated from ◯◯, etc, everything is welcome🤗 It shouldn't be that difficult! *laughs* I'm waiting for your submissions! ! !

Thank you to everyone who watched “Wakana 5th Anniversary “Prologue” ~Premium Online Live~” held on February 6th! ! ! 😭✨ You can still watch the archived video until the 13th (Tuesday), so I don't want to reveal too much! ! 😂 Let's just say, something quite shocking occured🤣 If you haven't seen it yet, please be sure to check it out! ! 😂😂

During this online event, I also announced my next live! ＼＼\\٩( 'ω' )و //／／ “Wakana 5th Anniversary Live” Date: May 12, 2024 Venue: I'M A SHOW Yurakucho Marion Appearing artists: Wakana, Satoshi Takebe, etc.

I wanted to start this year's 5th Anniversary celebrations with all of my fan club members. But I also want to use this year to share my music with many more people, that's why we have decided to hold a proper band live for the first time in a long time😄!! ️ Everyone, please come to "I'M A SHOW" in Yurakucho on May 12th! ! ＼(^o^)／

Lastly , here's a picture of myself and Sakurada-san who joined me on the piano on February 6th♪

Well, that's it for today. Until next time~☆( *'▽'*)/

Episode #6 »»—— CLICK ME 🎁 CLICK ME ——««

Vol 6 Topic “Memories of Valentine's Day”

OMG, I can't believe she actually read my message😳 I always stress way too much over what to write and I am generally super self-conscious when it comes to my Japanese skills so I never really leave any comments, let alone long messages. But Wakana's blog post from last time made me feel so bad for her that I couldn't help but submit at least something. Apparently, lots of other people felt the same way XD That makes it all the more surprising my message ended up being chosen. I had no idea it would be so embarrassing to hear her read my message🙈 Especially now that it turns out my guess about the mysterious chocolate was completely off. I speculated that she might have talked about a popular Austrian sweet called "Mozartkugel" but turns out she was talking about a special chocolate from Belgium (see images above). Oh well, the message was a great transition to her introducing the chocolate and doing a little taste test. And I am happy that she at least remembers receiving my packages of "Mozartkugeln" during various lives. Also, this is the third time she has mentioned "Sachertorte" in relation to Vienna so I guess she must be pretty obsessed with it. I need to find a way to bring one as present for her.

For next month’s episode which is scheduled to air on March 10th, the topic is “Memories of Graduation” The submission deadline is 02/29.

[a-new-vers]

~H5~

Woke up today to find out Halsey has set the stage for a new hunt for fans to go on. In true Halsey fashion, it's cryptic with a distinct visual style we can probably expect from this era.

So let's explore, shall we?

A Lil' Timeline:

Halsey played the 27th at Lollapalooza India. During their set before they began to play Gasoline, a visual on screen displayed a URL: FOR MY LAST TRICK (click to go to the site).

Click HERE to see a video of when it was displayed at the concert.

The Website:

The theme behind the website seems to be opening a miscellaneous stick/patch packet.

The first thing is prompting the user to "pull to open" as in a tag to swipe off. You can see the collection of patches behind the plastic wrap. Once you finally open the package, all the patches will disperse.

This is where the Internet sleuthing begins, people. 24 unique patches (technically 25, but I'll get into that later) with different meanings. Let's get into it.

1 - SNA Flight Tag

So really obscure, but googling Air California flight tag brought me to this used bookstore site. In any case, the thing to notice is the date it is attributed with, 1968.

2 - Vintage Blotter Art

According to this blog (which is the only place I could find the image), this is a vintage blotter from 1994. Blotter art is an "...art form printed on perforated sheets of absorbent blotting paper infused with liquid LSD."

3 - Blythe Dolls

I believe this doll is a Blythe doll. Image reverse search does not come up with an exact result, but from the details you can make out, the dolls eyes are quite clear. Which looks a lot like Blythe Dolls, a doll brand that came out in 1972. Their gimmick was that the eyes could move left to right.

4 - Witch Halsey

Unsure, but it would seem it's Halsey as a witch. The aesthetics are similar to IICHLIWP (H4).

If the main theme here is the 70s, there’s the movie Season of the Witch that came out in 1973, February 14th. It’s apparently commentary on traditional American suburban lifestyle through the perspective of a housewife who does not like her place in life. She meets a witch and progressively gets into the occult.

5, 18, 19, 23 - Outside of USA

5: It's hard to tell what most of the words are, but the text "Pagado" (Spanish for "paid") is on the piece of paper. . The particular location might be Palenque, a Mexican city. Relevant date: June 25th, 1977.

18: Belleville. Based on a real winter carnival programme. Belleville is a a city in Ontario, Canada. Relevant date: 1971.

19: “We smokers all want to be non-smokers too” or something along these lines. I'm trusting online translation for this (German to English). Unable to find when this was made.

23: “For Us.” French. The image search doesn’t result anything. Unable to find when this was made.

6 - Peril is My Pay

Based off of a detective book involving traveling. The font is the exact same as one of the book covers. It was published in 1960s.

7 - I have something to tell you

A sign up. I assume it has to do with being updated on any album news.

Looking through the inspect tab you can see the information is being sent to “Sony Fan Music.” It does take note of which country you are in and your address.

8 , 9 - Round visuals

I think these are visuals to give grasp to the 70s theme. It’s reminiscent of 60’s/70’s clothing/aesthetic.

10 - Michigan license plate.

1971 comes up in the plate. Michigan has come up in HFK (H2), on Bad At Love. I doubt this has anything to do about the “boy back in Michigan” but perhaps traveling back throughout her albums.

11 - Ghost

Jan 27th 2014, interesting date to put since this is the date this is all happening, just a decade after.

I've seen some people say this is meant to be the anniversary for Ghost, the song. Although it came out in 2014, its release date was in July, and it originally came out on sound cloud on February 3rd. So unsure why Jan 27th is there. EDIT: I have been made aware that Jan 27th 2014 was its international release date! I am but a fool.

The text can be in response to the lyric “Where did you go?” and the themes on the song of someone leaving. IDK, this could also be a meta thing. If a theme here is traveling and visiting locations/people, then perhaps one thing you won't find if the ghost?

Additionally, this follows the theme of revisiting her previous albums.

12 - Cannel 17

WPHL-TV is a television station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, serving as the local outlet for The CW Television Network. The logos here are form the 60’s/70’s.

13 - Master Mystifier

Or, alternatively, Harry Houdini. The date I do not believe has any relevance here but perhaps the idea of magic.

I came about the google search “Houdini’s Last Trick” where his last trick is widely asked about. It would seem to be an inspiration for the name of the website. So potentially Halsey will lean into magic, tricks, and deception.

14 - Calling Cards

Text on card: “Compliments - May I See (C) You (U) Home? If not, please return this card.”

“May I See You Home” seemed to be a common phrase for calling cards. They were handed out to ask people out. Again, the font and images are similar to H4 aesthetic. These were used in the 18th and 19th century.

15 - B&W Hair

Oh, I actually no idea.

16 - Candy

The closest I could get to finding what this meant is when this font was used for the book Candy by Maxwell Kenton, published in 1958.

As wiki describes the plot "Candy Christian, aged eighteen, is an extremely pretty and desirable but naïve young woman, who finds herself in a variety of farcical sexual situations as a result of her desire to help others. The men in her life, regardless of age or relationship, wish only to possess her."

17 - Southern-Belle

Clearly the saying southern belle. A girl born form the south, typically with certain attributes. The saying came from the idea that “... a girl who was expected to grow up into a lady. She was supposed to be fragile and flirtatious while also sexually innocent. She was beautiful but risky to touch, like porcelain.”

https://historyengine.richmond.edu/episodes/view/2259#:~:text=Course%3A,risky to touch%2C like porcelain

20 - Rabbit

I couldn’t find anything that looks the same, but I assume it has to do with Alice and Wonderland. Concerning dates, the book was published in the 1800s, while the arguably most famous iteration (the animated movie) came out in the 50s.

However, this can relate to the potential theme of magic and deception and girl/womanhood. But I’m also inclined to think the rabbit might have nothing to do with Wonderland and might be something else all together.

21 - K-Mart

Wiki comes in handy here. As described, “Satisfaction Always icon seen on Kmart branded packaging until the mid-to-late 70s, adapted from a hanging sign displayed in every early Kmart store.” So 70’s themed.

https://logos.fandom.com/wiki/Kmart_(United_States)/Other?file=Kmart_-_1960s_(Satisfaction).svg.

22 - Eye, Eye, Eye, and Eye

The eyes. Girl IDK, they’re eyes. They kind of remind me of the biblically accurate angels and the eyes they have. Although, I doubt that's what they're meant to be.

24 - Cigarette

People seem to think this relates more to Badlands, and I’m inclined to agree.

Themes:

Here are overall themes that seem to be present within the collection.

- Travelling

- Magic

- 60s-70s

- Eyes

- Books

- A Feminist Lens

- Past albums

A Tangent on Web Dev:

I just kinda wanted to point out the cool coding stuff they've done. When the patches are still in the plastic bag, they're always randomized in which order they're in (you have to refresh to notice this). They also disperse in a randomized order. I thought maybe the way they disperse could be a trail of sorts, like a map. But it seems totally random. I still find it cool how they've done that, every time in a different location, as if you open the package they come out uniquely for each person.

Oh and about the 25 patch, it seems the first patch in your packet appears twice when you open it. Idk if the number 25 matters or if this was done by accident. But the 25th patch is a duplicate, and never one in particular, just which ever is the first in your shuffle.

The End

For now.

[gamora-borealis]

hi so im one of those ppl that watched dnp religiously years ago and ive been out of the loop for a long time so what’s the thing about the wedding theory & the phil tag thing? if you dont mind explaining or maybe pointing me in the direction of someone else who could?

Oh well hello welcome back! Very long rambley answer under the cut :)

Tbh there's been way more insane stuff that's happened since, but in 2022 the biggest thing that had happened was Dan released his video "Why I Quit YouTube" where he announced that he was going on a solo tour ("We're All Doomed") and making some YouTube videos to go along with / promote the tour ("Dystopia Daily"). So I don't remember the exact details (I bet if you search dan and phil iceland on tumblr you might find some stuff), but Dan's tour was supposed to end in Iceland, and based on some stuff his friend PJ said on twitch it seemed like maybe he (and his gf) and Dan and Phil were going to have a vacation in Iceland after the last show. And idk if there was anything else (like maybe based on stuff they were liking on social media idk lol) people were like... what if they are having a wedding in Iceland after the last show? Apparently Iceland has been advertised as a gay wedding tourism destination too so idk. I think tumblr phannies were just bored and clowning but also it was 2022 which was the infamous prophesized year they were supposed to get married (based on a joke Crabstickz made years ago), so there was this thought like, what if they get married in early 2023 (when the Iceland show was supposed to be) out of spite.

Anyways, the Iceland show ended up getting cancelled. I'm not exactly sure why, but there were some other cancelled shows too and some people suspect it was due to poor ticket sales / too many shows in one city / issues with venues (maybe they were scheduling some that were too big) / issues with promotion (dan's management and touring agencies left most of the promotion to him outside of the standard local venues in-house promotion). Both Dan and Phil got new management this year after all that (Dan now has an agent for his comedy / touring stuff, Phil has an agent for his own channel, and then they have another agent for the gaming channel).

Anyways, 2023 kicked off and Dan and Phil started doing all kinds of insane stuff, which that's a whole other long post about how wild this year has been (Japhan 3.0, OnlyPhans, Gaming Channel comeback, Dan being a slutty nun for Halloween baking, Catboy calendar, etc) and they have been pretty open and comfortable together online lately (while still being fairly private) and more settled in their lives that some people actually think they might actually be getting married. Which, idk maybe we are just being insane again but this time I actually do think it's more believable lol. They bought/designed a house together (though I think it's actually a condo? penthouse? something like that) and Phil has had some health issues so even though they might not really be the kind to want to get married, some people are wondering if they might do it for legal reasons and also to maybe celebrate their relationship with family since Dan came out to his family and then like 9 months after their coming out videos the pandemic happened. Also doesn't help that next year is their 15th anniversary, which the anniversary of the first day they met takes place on the same day Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance are performing at the We Were Young Festival 2024 lmaooo. I mean some people are still convinced that they are queerplatonic and romantic exes or something like that but there's a lot they have shared that heavily implies that they aren't.

Okay, now the Phil tag examiner... Idk there was this blog that kept sending people asks anytime they posted something in the Dan and Phil or dnp tags that didn't explicitly mention Phil, and were like "hello this is the Phil tag examiner please keep posts only about Dan out of the Dan and Phil tag" and it was kinda funny to be honest. It stopped after a while idk what happened to them but no one was taking them seriously.

Anyways, I got back into dnp while Dan was on his tour about a year ago, and it's been such a wild year and now is probably like one of the best times to start watching them again there's sooo much new content with the gaming channel and they are being very authentically themselves it's really great.

[Review] Shadow of the Colossus (PS4)

A PS2 classic, but now it looks prettier.

I first played Shadow of the Colossus nine years ago... hey wait, this year is this blog's tenth anniversary! Wow! Anyway, I played the 2011 HD remaster on PS3 at that time, which was done by Bluepoint. Seven years later they had another crack, this time doing a full remake which goes further in modernising this classic without changing it too much.

Ever since I learned about all the cut content from the seminal PS2 game I hoped that maybe some new colossi would be added to this remake based on the concepts. Bluepoint's approach seems more concerned with faithfully recreating the gameplay, with their main addition being new hidden collectibles that recall old community secret-hunting. They seem to have taken to this project with a lot of care and respect, which I have to in turn respect myself, even if I personally wanted more of a shakeup.

Team Ico's 2005 game is a classic for a reason, and its stark world and cool ideas for fighting giants still hold up. The latter is untouched here, complete with the still-impressive scale, the often janky jumping and clambering, and the colossi whose fights vary from exhilarating to tedious (to paraphrase 2015 me). On balance there's more great moments than there are rough spots, but those moments of friction can be painful.

As for the world and the art design, this is the biggest change in this version. Recreating all the assets gave Bluepoint the opportunity to add a lot more detail to the environments, which depending on who you ask may detract from the atmosphere of the original. For my part I love the new vibrancy to the world, not to mention the elimination of fog, pop-in, and the excessive bloom lighting effects. This forbidden land retains its desolate beauty, only… I can see it better now. Performance Mode's smooth 60 fps framerate (on PS4 Pro or PS5) is the next-gen cherry on top; switching to Cinematic Mode was hard on the eyes in comparison.

I enjoyed revisiting this world, and the boss fights. Hunting for lizards in the open world is a nice breather (although changing the HUD to no longer have a giant grip circle is one minor nitpick I have with this remake). All the original's secrets and unlocks are back with a few new extras, but... while these bonus modes and things are great for people who really love the game, I merely "really like" it, and couldn't face spending 45 minutes on that final boss multiple more times for some bonuses that aren't even usable in Time Attack itself. I did two fights in this time-pressure mode but adding this limit only resulted in frustration for me, not fun.

The new 79 enlightenment coins are also a nice extra that motivate you to thoroughly explore the game world's nooks and crannies, but there's no in-game checklist and getting them all apparently requires hard mode Time Attack near-completion. It seemed daunting to the point of exhaustion for me and I decided my time with the game was once again at an end. I have more Team Ico and related games that are new to me that I'm keen to move on to!

È il mio 10 anniversario su Tumblr 🥳

It's apparently my 10th anniversary on Tumblr 😳😳😳

This blog definitely didn't start as a CCS blog, or not even a Clamp blog, I remember I was in my Saint Tail brainrot/withdrawal period, and I wanted to ramble about it all alone on a personal space, always hoping that Tachikawa sensei one day would write the extra chapter that she talked about on her blog...hence why I chose this url. For this and another personal reason, actually. I also loved to RT all the nice screencaps and edits for my favorite anime...

...then 2016 came and the love of my life, CCS, came back and my blog was absolutely swept away by the excitement, turning pretty much into a constant stream of CCS content and chapter commentary for Clear Card each month. When the anime came out in 2018, things only got worse 😂 but then in 2020 I started to realize about the translation differences between the English version and the original Japanese, and I decided that my beloved story deserved better than that, better than being misunderstood like that, especially the new characters that in the meantime I came to love so dearly...

So pretty naturally, I started to vent my frustration compiling all the mistakes/differences every month, in a very "whoever is willing to read it, is welcome to do so" fashion. For my convenience the differences are always included in my commentary. I haven't gone around promoting my posts very much, it's basically always "I run into someone confused about a line in the Eng ver/got some facts wrong, I tell them that the original JP actually says something else and I leave a link to my blog".

The more the story went on, the more I wondered if I was stepping on anyone's toes for doing these posts, but with my immense joy it seems they got Clamp's blessing, so I'll keep doing them till the very end of the story.

In between these commentaries, I throw some other translations I do mainly for myself (Twitter Spaces where Sakura is mentioned, interviews especially about the anime, etc) and that I like to organize more or less neatly in one place, and that people can share if they want. And also my fanarts, even though they never do big numbers here. But heh, I'll keep sharing them here too, cause it's my blog after all.

So yeah, 10 years of this. There were definitely times when I've hated this website and its community since things were becoming pretty toxic, flames started randomly out of nowhere, I just hope once the anime will be back it won't be the same shit again. I stopped looking at the CCS tags because of that and other reasons connected to that, so unless one of the people I follow shares it and puts it on my dash, I almost never reblog CCS art/edits/gifs etc. Cause the pretty artworks aren't worth wrecking my mood because I found the nth person shaming something that I love (and the people who love that thing, with it). Sorry about that, my blog is pretty boring in that sense.

Luckily, Tumblr brought me also good things, so I guess it makes up for that. I've met lots of people from my current CCS "circle", here.

To be honest, I know I have 2626 followers (as of today), but to this day I still wonder why. I highly doubt all of them are here because they're interested in my posts, probably not even half of them, lol (and I do my best to kick the bots). Nonetheless, thank you to all the people who interact with my posts ❤️ and thank you for sending me nice asks every month! 🙏 I don't always reply to them right away and some of them I leave for later when I have a downtime (like this one ask that's pretty broad in topic and I'm keeping it for when I have a little more time and nothing else to talk about).

Since Clear Card will continue for a little more than expected, the monthly appointment here will continue in parallel, and I'm already preparing my next "trivia" post, it's a topic I wanted to talk about since looooooong time. 😉

author note: my take on that cute tiktok proposal trend

Peter Parker (Andrew) x fem!reader

word count: 2k

warning(s): fluff, cursing, not proofread

.

.

I hear him shuffling around the room. I feel the ray of sunshine wash over my face, but I refuse to open my eyes. Maybe I can stay asleep just a little bit longer.

“Babe, come on. I know you’re awake. Let’s go! We gotta get going!” Fuck.

“Why? Give me a valid reason why I have to get up.” My eyes stay closed, but I keep myself conscious enough to hear his answer.

“Because it’s our anniversary.” He says matter-of-factly.

I roll over to my back and hold myself up with my forearms. If looks could kill, New York would need a new Spider-Man.

“Yes, but we aren’t doing anything until tonight, remember? Me, You, Thai food, Back to the Future? Ring a bell?”

“Yes,” he says dragging out the word, “but I thought it would be nice to do try out something a little different this year, so I set up an appointment for you.”

“An appointment?” I ask, giving up on any sleep I thought I was going to get this morning and slowly roll out of bed.

“Yep. You are going to get your nails done. Your appointment is at 1. Just call me when you’re done, so I can pick you back up.”

“Peter-“

“Nope,” he says before I can finish my sentence. “We’re actually going to be late so I kind of need you to get up ten minutes ago. Come on. Up.” I let out a grunt before getting up.

I drag my feet to the bathroom. Peter chuckles at me. I can’t believe him. He knows I’m not a morning person. I just don’t understand why it was so urgent for me to get my nails done. We have a tradition and now all of a sudden-

“Babe, I love you, but we need to go.” The gall on this guy.

“You don’t get to wake me up late for this surprise appointment and then rush me.” I huff.

I speed through my routine, so he’ll shut up. Just a quick wash up since we’re apparently in a big rush, washed my face, and put on sunscreen. The quickest thing to put on were some slightly oversized sweatpants and crop graphic t-shirt. My Nike’s were closest to the door, so I just slipped those on. The elevator takes absolutely forever before it gets to the lobby. I didn’t really mind until Pete started fidgeting and looking at his watch. Once the doors open he grabs my hand and rushes us to the entrance. Everything feels like a big whirlwind as one minute we’re in the building and the next we’re halfway to wherever he’s taking me.

“What color should I get at this mystery appointment?” I ask while looking out the window and holding his hand.

“White. Definitely, white.”

I nod my head and we continue in silence for the rest of the ride.

“Okay, remember to text me as soon as you’re done.”

“Yes, dad.” I roll my eyes and kiss him quick on the lips before walking in.

The moment I walk in, the people are very nice. Suspiciously nice. I get it that Peter is quite the charmer but he’s not this charming for people to be super nice to you from the beginning to the end of your appointment. I tried my best to overlook it. Just pretend it was great customer service and go on with the appointment and it worked for the most part until closer to the end of the appointment. It’s like everyone in the salon was giving me looks for joy. I may be crazy for thinking this, but it might not be too far-fetched. Was I just getting my nails done or is he going to propose?

I’m not sitting in the waiting area long until I hear the chime of the door and see Peter walk in. A smile instantly kisses my face as our eyes meet.

“So?” He asks with a hint of excitement. I show him my nails and his smile brightens. “They look great! Okay, let’s go.” He says as he once again whisks me off to the car.

“Can we go back home now?”

“Maybe. I forgot to ask you; do you still have that dress that you wore on our first date?”

“Yes, I left it at Aunt May’s though. Remember she said she would sew up a little hole that I made?” He knows this though? I’ve been pestering him about picking it back up for months.

“Shit, you’re right. Okay, let’s go now.” Before I can respond, he’s already taking the exit to Queens.

“Babe, we do not have to go all the way to May’s for a dress.” I say to no avail. Why is he being so weird?

We get to Aunt May’s and she’s acting just as weird but is hiding it a bit better. She told me to wait downstairs while her and Peter go upstairs to get the dress. Definitely doesn’t set off any alarms. It doesn’t help that there’s like zero noise up there which is not normal. All I hear is hushed tones and random bouts of silence. Whenever those happen, I assume they’re trying to see if I’m listening, but I’m actually smart with my sneakiness and make sure I’m making some type of noise, no matter how miniscule.

-.-.-.-

This is ridiculous. 30 minutes for a dress? It’s already 4:43. I would go up there, but Aunt May gave me the look before she walked up the stairs, meaning she knows I would go up there and ask what’s taking so long and that I need to stay down here. Honestly, by the time we get back to New Rochelle, the Thai place will probably be closed. Right as I sit down, Peter comes rumbling down the stairs.

“Ready babe?”

“Peter Benjamin Parker,” I start. Before I could finish, Aunt May walks down right behind him.

“It’s my fault dear. I found some old stuff from his mom that I wanted to show him.” My harsh tones of my facial features soften.

“That’s alright. Ready to go Pete?” We say our goodbyes to May and walk back to the car.

He seems a bit calmer on the drive back home.

“What’s that in your pocket?” I ask as I notice a bulge in his jacket pocket.

“Oh, just a ring that my mother left behind.” And he says nothing more on the subject. Is it just his mother’s ring or is he about to propose? Oh well. At least I got my dress back.

The nightlife passes us by. Sadly we don’t pass through the city on our way back home, but the view is still pretty, nonetheless. I hold my breath as we cross the bridge to overcome my fear of bodies of water at night. I still can’t help, but to think about the possibility of the bridge giving in and just collapsing. My heart rate picks up. Peter brings his free hand to mine and holds it. I exhale and look over at him. The street lights run across his face, making him look 10x more beautiful than he usually is. I hope one day I do get to marry him. I don’t think I could be without him at this point.

Before I can even sit down, “You should go try on the dress babe. Make sure it still looks good.” I’m don’t even bother putting up a fight as this point. This whole day has just been so weird. I walk to the bathroom and put the dress on. Damn, I look good in this. So glad I made this purchase. They don’t even sell it anymore, sadly. It’s a bit outdated since I got it 4 years ago, but I don’t mind.

I open the bathroom door to see Peter standing there in a different outfit. How did he get changed so fast?

“Okay, so I kind of lied. We have one more place to go tonight. Don’t be mad, but we gotta go back to Queens.”

I deadpan him.

“Peter, it’s already 5:25. Where are we going?”

-.-.-.-

“Peter if you wanted to recreate our first date you should’ve just said that.” Halfway to the café and he finally told me his plan.

“That seemed less special. Come on it’s gonna be fun. Don’t be mad at me on our anniversary.”

I roll my eyes for the umpteenth time today and look out the window as we pull up to the café. Did we really drive all the way back to Queens or is he going to propose? Honestly, considering how much I’m harping on it, I don’t think it’s going to happen, but I’m still happy with the thought that he’s put into this. Once parked, he walks over to my side and opens the door for me.

“Are you sure this place is open?” I look through the windows and see the lights dimmed.

“They aren’t but lucky for us, the owner is a hopeless romantic and said she’d stay open for us since it’s our anniversary.”

With my hand in his, we walk up and in to the building. As the front door chimed, an employee came out and asked us for our order. Before I can get anything out, Peter orders both of our drinks. There’s something familiar about the drinks but I can’t quite put my finger on it. We sit by the window and wait until they’re done.

“I can’t believe they stayed open for us.” I say with a smile upon my face.

We begin to reminisce on how we got to this point in our relationship. It started off light and fun, but at some point the tone changes. The drinks are placed in front of us, and I don’t waste a second before bringing the cup to my lips.

“God, this drink never gets any better.” I say after practically gagging.

“Told you that I was replicating our first date.” He says with a laugh. “As I was saying before, I really appreciate you being here, with me. I thought for sure once you found out I was Spider-Man you wouldn’t really want anything to do with me.”

“Oh come on, Pete. I told you back in high school that it’s me and you. No matter what.” I respond by waving off his silly statement and continuing to drink my God awful drink.

“Does that include marriage?”

“What?” My tone obviously confused as remove my cup from my vision and see him bended down on one knee.

“Now, I know you said you don’t like cheesy proposals, but I couldn’t help myself.” I feel tears well up in my eyes.

 “I love you, so much. Whenever I wake up, the first think I see is your face and it makes my whole day. I’m not able to imagine spending my life with anyone else. You’re the air that I breathe,” His words begin to shudder, and I can’t help but let my tears fall, “Will you please marry me?”

His hand lifts into view and see the most beautiful ring. More beautiful than any ring I’ve seen. This has to be his mom’s ring. I nod my head yes and I’m officially bawling. He slips the ring on my finger and sweeps me up into his arms. I wrap mine around his shoulder and hug him tight.

“I knew it. I knew you were gonna propose. You were acting so weird all day and I had my suspicions, but I dismissed it.” My voice right above a whisper.

My feet touch the floor again and I lean back to look at him.

“You still surprised,” He asks.

“Pleasantly. Can we go and watch Back to the Future now?” He kisses my lips once, twice, thrice.

“Yes.” He says with a loving smile. We gather and throw away our trash, say goodbye to the employee, and walk outside.

hi! 2, 4, and 8 for the fandom asks? 💕

thanks for the ask <3 i took too long trying to decide how "wild" i was gonna get for number 4 then thought. go big or go home.

2. favorite ship?

right now it's gotta be the ineffable husbands bc that good omens brainrot is still going strong. i do not think i will be less insane about them any time soon.

4. wildest ship?

funniest/worst possible question you could pick bc i have had sooooo many "wild" ships over the years - side effect of just being on tumblr for over a decade and having an irl friend from middle school who was completely unhinged about everything. like, i was one of those weirdos in middle school who shipped the cartoon kid and the demon triangle. shounen anime guy and the personification of his own sword (not a euphemism) who isn't actually his real sword. a skeleton and robot tv star, but only from one very specific fanmade AU. anime disney villain high school boys that are actually centuries-old fae both individually inspired by different aspects of maleficent. teenage boy and the millennia-old game-obsessed ghost that only he can see (this applies to two ships actually). to my dawning horror i am also invested in the quasi-romantic tension between a cringefail evil scientist and an anthropomorphic secret agent platypus from a kids cartoon and found (then deleted) youtube comments proof that this apparently went back to when i was 12 (??????). more relevant to my blog theme - i was SUPER into eleven/ten when i first watched day of the doctor, lmao. that irl friend i mentioned earlier was a massive selfcest fan in general and i think it rubbed off on me. if i was even tangentially in a fandom and that fandom had a somewhat-well-known-within-the-fandom weird/controversial/crack/"ppl rly ship this????" ship, >50% chance of me shipping it bc i do not fear god, god fears me. as she should. this got long sorry.

tl;dr i can very easily be convinced to ship just about anything. but if i had to pick one single ship it'd probably be that time many many years ago in the hp fandom where everyone shipped draco with a green apple?

8. how many fandoms?

at a time? usually like, 2-3 max. currently that's good omens (death by s2, will not recover any time soon) with doctor who on a semi backburner until the 60th anniversary specials come and ruin my life i assume. less than 3 months left until my doom.

in total, ever? too many to count, definitely. honorable mention shout outs to fandoms not yet mentioned go to percy jackson (my first ever fandom), guardian/镇魂 - priest (first fandom i wrote fic for), and nbc hannibal (There's Just Something About The Murder Husbands, Man)

#cat talks #there were a lot of just Weird Crack Ships i remember from years ago

quantum break appreciation month: a quick retrospective

so, first of all, wow, it was WAY more effort than i thought to just POST SOMETHING EVERY DAY. i put a lot of pressure on myself to only post The Good Stuff to this blog, and boy golly is my standard of "good stuff" higher than it ought to be! so this has been great practice for me in "finished is better than perfect."

second of all, i wanna put together a quick rundown of everything i did this month!

Announcement post

April 1st: My Bleeding Clock (My Immortal AU) fanfic for April Fool's Day

April 2nd: Playlist to go with My Bleeding Clock

April 3rd: Sketch of 2010!Beth

April 4th: Sketch of Jack and Beth

April 5th: Reblogged my old post about last year's anniversary zine, as well as a new little sketch to celebrate the 7th anniversary of the game's release

April 6th: Doodle of Beth in a skirt (with pockets!)

April 7th: I literally just posted a passage I like from the QB:ZS novel

April 8th: Started posting old art... completed set of the halo series here!

April 10th: More old art, LNEHH edition

April 11th: More old art, Will Joyce edition

April 12th: Some Jack/Paul art to celebrate me and my husband's anniversary :3c

April 13th: QUANTUM BREAK HOMESTUCK AU!!!

April 14th: Surprise! it's even more old Jack/Paul art!

April 15th: Wow! I can't believe it's more Jack/Paul art!

April 16th: Apparently I was busy this day because I just reblogged LNEHH, lol

April 17th: Quantum Break characters, but as Skyrim characters

April 18th: Some blinkie gifs I made using blinkies.cafe

April 21st: Meta post about color palettes and color usage in Quantum Break

April 22nd: A little QB divider I made for my fansite (WIP)

April 23rd: Some terrible glitter gifs, also for the WIP fansite

April 24th: Minecraft skins of a bunch of QB characters!

April 25th: I was also apparently busy this day, cuz all I did was make a stupid phone background for myself XD

April 26th: Took a swing at pixel art

April 27th: A promo for the Quantum Break Discord Server I run!

April 28th: Wrote another chapter of My Bleeding Clock...

April 29th: Art of Jack and Paul :3

April 30th: Started a new longfic: The Symmetry of Fear!

holy shit. that's a lot. i am retroactively impressed with my past self for doing all this, lmao. nice.

third of all! i wanna note that i started several projects this month that i have yet to finish. of course i'm not confining my quantum break posting to one month of the year (impossible) but i will take my time finishing the... uh... three fics and two meta essays i have unfinished, as well as the fansite i am working on. i want these to be GOOD, so i'm not going to rush them. i'm glad this month gave me to juice to finally get these projects started, though!

and lastly... why did i even do this project/event in the first place?

well... good question. i imagine i'm not the only one who has been Going Through It for a while now, and i just... really needed a big project to focus on for a while. and quantum break is like, one of the only things that i never get tired of thinking about, so... are you seeing my logic here?

all that said, i do genuinely want to work on putting more love out into the world. and i love quantum break! i want other people to love it too! (or at least, i want other people to look at my passion for it and be like "i dont go here but you keep doing your funky little thing my man," you know what i mean?)

so, big thanks to everyone who has encouraged me this month, whether it be in reblog tags, in the quantum break discord server, or elsewhere. also, big thanks to my husband, who i would not have married if not for our mutual obsession with quantum break, and who is always down to listen to me talk about my various theories and fic ideas. and finally, a big thanks to remedy, for making this dumb game that i love so so so much.

#quantum break #quantum break appreciation month #thanks yall for putting up with my qb posting seriously #i know thats not what most of yall are here for #but thanks for humoring me anyway! #i WILL make more people love this game so help me god

Note: Ahhh, it’s so nice to see a fan club video from Wakana after such a long time. And I LOVE that we are getting some behind the scenes footage of the album production. That studio looked amazing. However, it seems like the production isn’t as far ahead as I had hoped. The mastering that took place the other day wasn’t actually for the album itself but for something else. This is what Wakana is referring to in the little snippet I am posting here (towards the end of the video). She says that she is allowed to reveal a tiny bit of information. Apparently the album will come with a special kind of tokuten (benefit/bonus content). She can’t say too much but it will be video & audio which is why they had to do some mastering. She is super excited for everyone to see it. Pretty sure this is footage from her Christmas Live. I mean, what else would it be.

hey, i wanted to send this much sooner but i actually got very busy with holiday stuff myself! which reminds me, i was looking online for a specific hercules pin i wanted to buy for myself, and thought of your blog when i came across a really cute pin of young tarzan & terk. it was apparently released in 2021 so i'm glad the movie hasn't been completely forgotten by disney in recent years. makes me wish jane had a classic doll like megara and esmeralda have.

also, yeah, there's quite a few art books for disney and other animation companies (i'm thinking of certain dreamworks books, for example) that are older and/or out of print and have gotten way too pricey now. so i was really grateful they rereleased the mulan one because it's absolutely gorgeous.

ooh that's really cool about the tazan book, i hope you do find a copy you can take apart and scan someday! and i think it's awesome that you've loved tarzan for so long. would you say it's been your favorite disney movie from the first time you saw it, or did it take some time for it to sink in or grow on you? for me, i'd say frozen became one of my favorite movies as soon as i saw it, but beauty and the beast, while i always really liked it, was a movie that grew on me more and more as my tastes changed and i started loving it more than my previous favorites.

Hello! No worries, I completely understand life getting hectic.

I hope you were able to find the Hercules pin you wanted!!

I know the Tarzan pin you're talking about, its so cute! I would give anything for a Jane classic doll, would de so nice to see her join Esmeralda and Meg. I'm really hoping for a LE 17" for the 25th anniversary, and there's a slim chance it may happen, but I'm not holding my breath. There's still that annoying copyright issue that gets in the way. According to Steve Thompson (the artist who designs the Disney Store Christmas ornaments every year) Disney has the rights for Tarzan products sold within the parks, which is how the pin was possible. Not sure how that would work with a Jane doll, but at least there's a sliver of hope.

Good news though! Next month is the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, and Steve will be there with 3 pieces, one of which is Tarzan!!! He's revealed the full look at his Atlantis and Treasure Planet pieces, hoping he'll post Tarzan within the week (I will be sure to share it here when he does). Prints of his work will be available at the festival, and they usually show up on ebay too.

I think it would be fair to say I loved Tarzan before I saw it, lol. Back in the day, before the internet became so accessible, we used to find out what the next Disney movie was in the previews on the VHS of the last one. I'll never forget Feb 2, 1999… I raced to the grocery store after school to buy Mulan because I couldn't wait to see it again. In the previews was the first part of the Movie Surfers look at Tarzan Every year those previews would get me so excited for the next movie, but something about Tarzan just hit different. I almost didn't watch Mulan that night, because I kept watching it over and over again. I think I fell in love with Tarzan before I got halfway through that preview, and I seem to love it more every day.

That's so interesting that your 2 fav movies got you in such different ways. What is it about Frozen that made you fall in love with it so fast? What's your favourite thing about Frozen? And same for beauty and the Beast? I also have to say I think it's so neat that BatB is the one that had to grow on you a bit, it kind of fits the theme of the movie.
