#i feel like im trapped in a nightmare rn. like ten min ago i was working on this application#so im summarizing information from an already established project design with no fucking idea if they is the way they want it#knowing im probably doing too much bc the guy was like yea just throw some of these ideas together. like what the fuck do u mean??? u just#gave me the project outline fuck u. and im listening to discordant dreamy vaporwave music and my boss is texting me like#did u reach out to ur last co author abt reading thru ur manuscript bc apparently i misunderstood when she said she last talked to him abt#when he could read it. its due on tuesday. which is also when im traveling home#so fucking i guess i have to hope he looks at it Monday so i cant actually edit in time to submit it that next morning or the night after#i land and get home and hope to god there arent any setbacks in submission#and it feels like a nightmare bc ive managed somehow push myself back to the brink of collapse. im exhausted despite sleeping like 10hrs#last night. at least its raining so i dont have to go sampling tomorrow#im just so tried. this application feels pointless and a waste of time bc i have these fucking manuscripts hanging around my neck. but i#said id apply so im fucking doing it. its close to done. ill finish it tonight but god at what cost#a little more than 48hrs and ill b home. assuming nothing terrible happens. home but not quite off the hook i guess#i just wanna lay on the floor for a while. lay on the floor and sleep for a while#my brain is too heavy for my head#unrelated

My Top 15 Vaporwave Horror Movies
I thought I would put together a list of vaporwave/dreamcore/liminal aesthetic horror movies that I find to feel outside of time and space. That's sort of my vibe here on tumblr, and I also like the mantra of "if there's something you want to see that no one has made yet, make it yourself." These are films that I personally love, and the list not meant to be definitive. Remember also that art is subjective. I hope someone out there finds at least one film they want to add to their watchlist! It's been a minute since I've seen some of them, so let me know if I need to correct something.
15. Mandy (2018)
I wish I could add pictures for all of these entries, but I can still only add 10 pictures to a post blah. It's such a shame because I wanted to show off that gorgeous aesthetics of all these films. Oh well. This is a revenge flick about a cult kidnapping Nick Cage's girlfriend and him losing his marbles about it. Definitely recommend if you're the mood for vibes and/or Nick Cage NickCageing.
TW: violence, blood, fire
14. Come True (2020)
This is a haunting, fantastic vibes movie. It feels so otherworldly. It's about a homeless young person participating in a sleep study to be able to safely get some sleep. It would be an almost perfect film if it weren't for the just garbage ending. If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, just skip the last 5 minutes, and take it for what the rest of the film is: beautiful.
13. Braid (2018)
This film follows a couple of young drug dealers on the run from their supplier crashing at a mentally unwell friend's house. The catch is they have to play along with their host's unhinged "game" while they hide out. Not gonna lie, this film is trippy af and definitely not for everyone. I can guarantee that no matter what, it is a ride.
TW: heavy drug use, blood
12. Perfect Blue (1997)
A pop star retires to become a full-time actor, which angers some of her fans. Her sense of reality becomes warped when one obsessive fan begins to stalk her. I don't love some of the turns this movie takes when it comes to mental health, but it's hard to deny this film is classic that has stunning animation.
TW: negative depictions of mental disorders, violence, blood
11. Skinamarink (2022)
This controversial found footage movie is sort of hard to describe because it's so otherworldly. Basically, two kids wake up one night to find their dad and all of their doors and windows are missing. Everything about this nostalgic yet terrifying film is vibes and aesthetic: liminal, vaporwave, voidcore, dreamcore, you name it. It feels like a fever dream, and it's a nightmarish journey you won't soon forget, for better or worse.
Tumblr media
10. Vivarium (2019)
A couple are looking for a home to share. They follow a strange realtor to an even stranger labyrinthine neighborhood that seems to have no escape. If you're into liminal spaces, this film will definitely scratch that itch for you.
Tumblr media
9. Revenge (2017)
This is a r*pe revenge tale that has absolutely beautiful scenery and cinematography. I love the sweeping liminal landscapes and vibrant vaporwave colors. It's a standard plot as far as the genre goes, but it's directed by a woman, so it has a different angle that I find to be superior to most films of the genre.
TW: violence, gore, SA, blood
Tumblr media
8. Don't Worry Darling (2022)
A 1950s housewife begins to suspect that something about her utopian community is not what it seems. This film seems to be a bit controversial, too, for some reason. Whatever the case may be, I adore the liminality and dreamy feel of this film. You really get a sense that this world is outside of time and space.
Tumblr media
7. It Follows (2014)
This film is straight up about a sexually transmitted curse. Jay sleeps with her boyfriend for the first time, and then finds out she must outpace this demon that can take the shape of anyone forever lest it kill her, or she must pass the curse on to someone else. The shots in this film are to die for. Especially for connoisseurs of the liminal, vaporwave, and dreamcore. Highly recommend for the visuals and music alone.
TW: gore, blood
Tumblr media
6. House (1977)
Gorgeous decides to stay with her aunt to hopefully get closer with a group of six of her friends. The girls come to find her aunt's house is more than meets the eye. The visuals and absurdity are what make this movie. It's a classic for a reason.
TW: cartoon gore
Tumblr media
5. Akira (1988)
Tetsuo gains psychic abilities via a secret military project and becomes mad with power. It's up to his friends and a small group of psychics to stop him. This is another classic anime. Its 1980s futuristic mentality really lends itself to the vaporwave atmosphere of the cityscape. I highly recommend this classic if you haven't seen it.
TW: violence, body horror
Tumblr media
4. Censor (2021)
Enid is a serious film censor with a shrouded past that includes her long-missing sister. She watches a film that bears eerie resemblance to her vague childhood memories that begin to take hold of her as tries to piece them together. I don't think I'm totally clear on when this film takes place, which is what I love about it. It has a spooky surreal quality that will both draw you in and unsettle you.
TW: violence, blood
Tumblr media
3. She Dies Tomorrow (2020)
Amy is convinced she is going to die tomorrow. Her friend Jane comes by to comfort her, and then becomes consumed by the thought she will die tomorrow as well. This film is as strange as it is beautiful. It will either leave you in tears or confused af or both.
TW: blood
Tumblr media
2. The Neon Demon (2016)
Jesse is a very young, gifted model who is new in town (probably LA). She quickly signs with an agent and begins getting gigs, breeding the contempt of the established models around her. This is probably one of the most visually appealing films I've ever seen. The music is on point. The low key acting is a vibe. I just adore this film. 10/10, highly recommend.
TW: gore, blood
Tumblr media
1. The Platform (2019)
A man wakes up in a prison that is an indescribable liminal pit where there are a seemingly never-ending number of levels. A platform full of food is lowered through each level once a day, and everyone on the lower levels must fight to survive. This film is just so utterly anticapitalist and gorgeous that I can't help but sing its praises. I think everyone should watch this movie at least once. It is horrifying yet eye-opening. Certainly one of my favorite films of all time.
TW: gore, violence, blood
Thank you for reading my list! Like I said, I wanted to make a list like this because I couldn't find one when I went looking. I hope you found something to add to your watchlist! I tried to include some of the big TWs for these movies, but they're far from complete lists. So please check websites like doesthedogdie.com for more complete TW lists if you have any concerns. Make decisions that are right for you. Thanks again, and have a happy and safe new year! xx

Hello, I've been doing some research into 90s vs 80s aesthetics and fashions. I came across your work and it just looks amazing. May I ask you what you think the difference is? What is your thought process when making a 90s piece vs an 80s piece?
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy the art. As for your question, it's tricky since right now if someone makes 80s or 90s styled anything it's not about being historically accurate. It's about what 'feels' 80s or 90s to us now, usually rooted in whatever that era did uniquely. My work in particular is based in vaporwave aesthetics, which mixes many eras and styles so I'm not a great reference point for accuracy.
I have made a lot of art though so there are a couple of recurring trends I see. Here are 2 abstract designs I made, each inspired by Memphis Group aesthetics.
Tumblr media
80s Style: This is the most defined as a singular aesthetic. Pastels (pink, purple, teal usually), neon signs that feel like they could be out of a Mall and some Art Deco elements as well.
Tumblr media
90s Style: This era is a lot less defined. There are a few niches and styles but I haven't narrowed down any 1 big 'this is the 90s' as there was with the 80s. When I do 90s-y things I basically take 80s aesthetics, use more colors and exaggerate it with more child-like 90s Nickelodeon/MTV/etc graphics.
Y2K style and art pulls from 90s aesthetics too and that has a pretty well defined style but I haven't done much in it to post about. I hope this helps some.

Since I like both anime art and storytelling, I'm planning to make light novels. Some of them may be short stories, standalone novels, or series. :3 Going to put some of them on Wattpad and Tapas.
I try to balance unique settings with complex characters.
🌊About Me🌊
I've been writing and drawing since I was little. And before I could write, I would tell my mother my story and she'd write it down for me. I've always had a crazy imagination. When I was a tween, I got into anime and manga, so I learned how to draw in that art style.
I am 25, queer-romantic asexual, and feminine-presenting nonbinary. I identify as both a girl and a demi-boy. You can refer to me as she/her, he/him, or they/them. I don't mind. I'm also white and have ADHD, dyspraxia, anxiety, and depression that prevents me from getting a "real" job.
I'm pretty shy and anxious, but once you get to know me, I may say some weird stuff and dad jokes. I'm a big nerd and simp as well.
I am also a Vtuber, but made this alt identity since I didn't think my work would fit that persona.
🌊About My Blog🌊
Here I am going to post about my WIP stories and some of my art. I will also reblog others' art and writing. Many aesthetics, fandoms, and other stuff may be reblogged as well with tags if it inspires my work.

When AlexiKa was a child, her world was changed forever when her family was forced to immigrate to the imperial city of Venicula after the Ebony Plague - caused by mysterious eumalyptus spores - infected her home town. Now a young adult, she works as a courier (and secretly an anti-corporation activist). When going on a delivery, she accidentally uncovers dark secrets and ends up infected with the same Ebony Plague that haunted her hometown as a child. But when she survives the illness and instead develops superhuman abilities, she joins a mutant resistance group to fight against the Veniculan Empire, the Gaia Corporation, and other mutants with immoral goals.

A trans femboy wood elf named Nel finds the homeland of his people - the rain forests of Falinor - and goes on an adventure to form a guild of adventurers! Still kind of in the vibes stage I guess, but I have some ideas formed for lore and characters. :> Something more cute and lighthearted for me to write in contrast to Ultra Drive.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't have much that I can share at the moment due to much of my writing being lost (school assignments or lost on old computers) or attached to other identities. I also had a looong writer's/art block.

a brainrot about splatoon the franchise, octo expansion and side order
ive recently gotten back into splatoon and honestly, the main point of this is that i feel like it's great that nintendo is developing the franchise alongside its audience that first played splatoon when it came out.
i also feel like splatoon 2, especially the octo expansion was like the first MAJOR step into maturity and growth in the franchise, like splatoon was childhood, splatoon 2 was tweenhood, octo expansion was like early teenhood, and then splatoon 3 is like mid-late teenhood?!? idk i could just be projecting
i just feel like the game has delved into more complex topics as the franchise has gone on because the audience can handle them with age and time, but what i appreciate the most of all is that it hasn't lost it's colour at the end of the day. like you can grow no matter what, but you and everyone else is full of colour and radiates energy, good or bad
although side order for splatoon 3 hasn't come out yet, and i have high hopes for it because it's like the total opposite of the chaos theme for splatoon 3, octo expansion just has such a. unique vibe. it uses the vaporwave aesthetics that used to be super popular, mixed with a few 80s aesthetics and has this underbelly of like 90s hip-hop/r&b/rap aesthetics and vibes. (marina and pearl are literally tupac and biggie) it's this weird hodgepodge of references and whatnot, and then the fact that it gave the players what they wanted, playable octolings?!?!? cherry on top of a perfect expansion
i can't wait to see what side order has to bring, maybe playable salmolings or something? if they're upkeeping the tradition of adding playable options from the dlc. and although i hope it'll be as great as octo expansion, i want it to be just as unique as octo expansion

will post art here eventually, in the mean time i hope you'll enjoy the retro technology reblogs (and i may post examples from my own collection too). if you'd like to see my random reblogs, check out @retrocorvidae
follow me if you like old crt tvs. im normal about that stuff.
Tumblr media
they/them, 20s, oc and fan artist 👍(mostly just deltarune and maybe bugsnax. depends on how long the latter fixation will last.)
my oc stuff is about a world of anthro birds in the 80s who work at a tv station. there may be horrors, especially regarding the weather. i sadly dont draw nice looking pieces for this world often enough. (they'll be under the "todays forecast" tag)
perhaps you'll find something here if you like birds, retro technology, meteorology, copious amounts of pink/vaporwave aesthetics, and fictional journalists. im always down to chat so feel free to dm me if you'd like.
art tag: analog doodles
bigots, proships, terfs etc. dni

✨9 people you’d like to get to know better! ✨
thank you to @annasinterests for the tag!!!
i can’t lie, i haven’t done anything like this before, so I hope i do it right! there will be a few low pressure tags at the end for people i’m mutuals with!! no stress if you don’t wanna do it! there may also be one (1) person i tag who is not a mutual but who i think is great. just to clarify i also think everyone’s great.
okay here we go.
last song: All Around Me by Flyleaf. No, I cannot escape my 13 year old self. However, I have also been really enjoying synthwave and vaporwave stuff recently, and also getting into a lot of Alex G! 🎵
favourite colour: green all the way, but my second favourite colour is purple!! truly though, I love all colours, but those are my most favourite, they make me so happy 💚 💜
currently watching: i’m currently re watching The Boys! I’m a big fan of that show, I love the whole fucked up evil superhero vibes. i’m also planning on starting to watch Westworld soon, and i need to get back into Hannibal. Also if anyone wants a great detective series to watch, watch True Detective, it changed my life. Okay I’m done now. 📺
last movie: omg i feel like i never watch movies anymore but I have so many that i love, hmmmm i think the last one i watched was probably Little Miss Sunshine as it is one of my favourite ones ever. BUT if we’re talking about movies that i watched in a cinema, i can’t lie the last one i saw was Jackass Forever. love those guys. or was it Halloween Ends. who knows.🎥
currently reading: ohoho!!! i have just finished reading Brutes by Dizz Tate. i would highly recommend it, it’s a wonderful representation of working class girlhood and small town secrets. i also finished Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn. all i can say is what a book, it astounded me, 11/10 📚
sweet/spicy/savoury: spicy and savoury all the way babeeyyyyy. i love spicy food so much. maybe too much. my stomach hates me. I do like chocolate a lot, but i can eat more savoury food than sweet which is a win in my opinion. 🌶️
relationship status: in a relationship!! I have been with my wonderful girlfriend for nearly three years. our anniversary is in march. she is the light of my life and my best friend. 💖
current obsession: ah yes. the things i am so normal about. i just very recently got a ps4 from a friend so i have been playing lots and lots of games. my favourites were the last of us, the last of us part two, and red dead redemption 2. especially rdr2. of course, i’m so normal about it, and the ending and story didn’t break my heart into a million tiny pieces. if you’re reading this and want to talk about these games REACH OUT TO ME I am so passionate about them and would love to talk 🕹️(this was the only gaming emoji I could find forgive me)
last thing i googled: i cannot lie it was probably ao3. or like, potato soup recipes. I love potato soup 🍲
currently working on: staying relatively sane. i graduated this july, and life feels weird right now. i’ve started working full time and i am very tired™️ all of the time. i am autistic so life can definitely be very overwhelming but i’m clinging on. unless of course you meant a project i’m currently working on, then i am currently working on trying to possibly start writing fanfiction of my own. unfortunately i also have horrendous writers block and crippling performance anxiety. let’s just say my 13 year old self’s fanfiction wasn’t doing rounds on wattpad in 2014. we shall see we shall see. ✒️
thank you for the tag again!! this was so fun and I hope it was okay and not boring!!! i will now tag some of my mutuals. and also some maybe not mutuals. ignore me if you don’t want to do this. please do not feel pressured. mwah 💋
@beefrobeefcal @fangirl-is-a-lifestyle @ladyoftheteaandblood @saturn-cherries @oblivion-wonderlust @stuffinmybrainhole @toxicanonymity @bil-daddy

Hello there!
I hadn't updated my intro post in a long time and it was pretty bare-bones, so I thought I'd make a new one!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My name is Scott! I'm 23 and from Canada, just some random nerd on the internet who decided to make a Tumblr blog xD. I'm a ler-leaning switch and very shy about this place, but I'd love to make friends here!
Tumblr media
I love video games! I play a lot of League of Legends (although I've taken a break due to how much toxicity is in the game lately ;-;) Some of my other favorite games include platformers like A Hat in Time, Sonic the Hedgehog, Castelvania, Shantae, and retro games in general. I also really like visual novels like Ace Attorney!
Vocaloid is one of the genres I listen to the most (especially Hatsune Miku, she's my favorite). I also like vaporwave, internetcore and video game/anime music! I love finding new remixes of my favorite songs, nightcore is one of my favorite types of remixes.
Tickling but I'm very shy about it >_<. I haven't really posted or interacted with posts in this community much, I'd love to be able to talk about it though :). As a ler, my favorite tickle spot is armpits! I'm very insecure about it though. Sides/thighs are tried for second favorite. As a lee, it's tough for me to decide. You'll have to find out my worst spots which I'm not gonna say xD
I've been getting back into watching anime! For a while I just didn't really know what to watch, I can be kinda picky sometimes. I just finished Neon Genesis Evangelion for the first time and I'm about to finish Jojo's Bizzare Adventure: Stone Ocean.
Drawing and writing are things I'm trying to improve at! I'm really insecure about it so I haven't done much in a while, I'm really trying to motivate myself >_<.
I love computers in general! just learning how they work or fixing them is something I spend a lot of my free time researching.
I also tend to binge watch YouTube, like a lot xD. Especially gaming channels or memes! I really like watching videos for speedrunning like SummoningSalt, comedic game reviews like Flandrew or The Lonely Goomba
MEMES whether they're just images or animations on YouTube, I like am obsessed with memes. I've got a lot of them saved and definitely would share them if you want xD.
Tumblr media
Feel free to DM me or send an ask! I'd love to make friends and you're always welcome to message ^-^. That being said please do not contact or interact with me if you: - are a minor, my blog is strictly SFW but it's still 18+
- are a fully NSFW or sexual focused blog. Blogs with partial SFW/NSFW can definitely interact, as long as you're aware I may not be comfortable talking about some of your interests.
- only are messaging me with the intent to satisfy your needs or meet up with me. While I'm more than happy to talk about tickling, I don't want it to be the only thing we talk about 24/7. - are sending me things or have on your blog content that discriminates people in any way. I've seen enough of that and I'm not gonna put up with it
Tumblr media
I hope you have a really nice day and take care!

Todays rip: 06/03/2024
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and the days of high quality rips?
Season 7 Featured on: Rips of Christmas Present
Ripped by berg8793
youtube
Requested by itsyeeted! (Discord)
Funny thing - I was supposed to have posted this far closer to new years, but then somehow convinced myself that I'd...already posted it? Just marked it as done in the spreadsheet and everything. Bizarre. Well, its never too late to celebrate the new year, is it? Especially not with a rip as sincere, wholesome, downright pleasant as Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and the days of high quality rips? - This is the kind of rip to remain on the laid-back playlist all year long.
I'm sure a lot of people were a bit puzzled to see a game like Tetris on CDi even *get* rips, let alone any form of non-ironic memes. I mean, its the Philips CDi, it's the meme console with Hotel Mario and the bad Zelda games! But this is another case of what I brought up back in Viva La Robocop, another case of one of SiIva's most fascinating phenomena: when otherwise wholly obscure games are kept in discussion through the surprising quality of their music. With only some exceptions (such as the games composed by the Follin brothers) that discussion seldom becomes widespread, usually staying contained to enthusiasts of VGM: such as the very people behind the SiIvaGunner channel itself! And while many of these soundtracks are kept relevant by chiptune artists, with examples like the aforementioned one, Never Gonna Give Up Mahjong and Beautiful! ~ Curveball of Sean Kingston - Tetris on CDi is, as the name of the console suggests, full-on CD quality, with a sound so stunning beautiful and atmospheric for a game series otherwise so content in reusing and remixing the typical Tetris theme. In the words of Jack Yarwood - "Before 'Tetris Effect,' There Was the Vaporwave Bliss of Tetris on the CD-i".
The wonderous atmosphere of this otherwise entirely obscure release of Tetris has kept its heart beating ever so faintly in the 32 years since its release, and Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and the days of high quality rips? feels just as much like a love letter to this game's vibes as it does a soothing celebration of the new year's beginning. Level 6's soothing tune is used as the backing instrumental to an original cover of the Scottish folk song Auld Lang Syne, one typically sung to inaugurate the beginning of the new year. And it's one that I, despite being from all the way over in Sweden, swear I must've heard in a film or show at some point - its lyrics and melody felt immediately comforting and familiar as soon as I started listening to the rip. Part of that comfort is of course the vocals, berg8793's vocal performance is positively soothing, but it may also be from how the vocal performance is implemented into the rip. It's given a layer of compression to it that matches the quality of early CD games, and indeed the quality of the CDi games' soundtracks themselves, a comfy faint noise and static stitching the two pieces of the rip together as a seamless whole. berg8793 has previously mostly been featured on here in rips that appeared as if they were borderline painful to make, such as Banjostruck and Kirby Joins the Circus!, so it was a delightful surprise to see him having made a rip like this. Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and the days of high quality rips? not only feels like a welcome break in energy from the guy's typical output, but also shows me that he's got a genuine talent for singing - one I hope he finds use of in rips to come!
There's little else to say - Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and the days of high quality rips?, much like Wham! Into Dreams, feels like a cover from the heart, a cover made with the intent of pure celebration, to band us faithful viewers together for the new year in the comments section. Amidst all the shitposts and insane-scale collaborations, it's...nice, to have rips like these to return to for the quieter moments in life.

A. Thank you for your kind words on this, it's always cool to see people be normal about music instead of insisting I listen to bad stuff.
B. I see that you were unaware of Vaporwave as a music genre so I'm gonna overshare for a moment because I'm autistic about this and I hope that's okay.
Basically as I understand it, and I won't be doing a fully history deep dive but; Vaporwave popped up around 12 years ago with THIS video:
youtube
It's arguably a remix, but it was made via a sample of Chris Deburgh's Lady in Red, you can actually hear the exact sample here at 2:40:
youtube
The song was essentially slowed down and given a sort of reverby-ethereal vibe to the whole thing. Something I overall enjoyed but found a bit too repetitive for me in the original Nobody Here video.
This sort of "Reverbed Ethereal Vibe" carries through a lot of Vaporwave music such as this:
youtube
This one lacks any lyrics at all focusing heavily on melody and I honestly think it's a lot better for it in my opinion because I'm less likely to recognize the repeating than I am with literally two words lol.
Of course, it would be wrong not to mention MACINTOSH PLUS, who basically popularized Vaporwave with FLORAL SHOPPE - 02 リサフランク420 - 現代のコンピュー which you've likely heard before even if you don't recognize the name:

And now is where it branches off into a ton of different micro sub-genres, you have a ton popping up but the one that caught my eye specifically was Future Funk. A sort of focus on the capitalistic boom of the 80's where new tech was all the rage, and brands meant everything. Except with a sort of fun and lively vibe rather than dystopian capitalistic hell. Future Funk also makes use of a lot of anime aesthetics and city pop / J-pop influences.
The big Future Funk influence of the era was SAINT PEPSI, Pepsi was sort of the artist that people looked to in order to say "sure I like Future Funk, at least the GOOD STUFF that isn't like all that cringe shit, I only listen to SAINT PEPSI because he makes GOOD music." Which is :| but the music slaps. Like if Vaporwave is too slow for you, or you're in the mood for something a little more upbeat, here ya go!
youtube
Right out the gate we can hear so much more energy here. This was sort of set as the norm for Future Funk, but for a lot of artists it strayed too far from it's Vaporwave roots and some took to making music somewhere in the middle, still upbeat and lively but with more of that classic ethereal feel to it.
youtube
To this day I will use this hour long beautiful mix of upbeat future funk classics whenever I'm cleaning the house or driving anywhere or doing anything that really requires me to just have energy.
youtube
This SLAPS and I know it by heart because I'm dumb and I've listened to it significantly too much. I think what really makes it for me is that it's not just a playlist video, it's a proper DJ mix seamlessly moving from one song to the next.
ANYWAYS, yea Vaporwave has a ton of sub genres and stuff to look into if anyone has any interest in it. I admittedly got hardcore into Future Funk but there's almost always something for everyone when it comes to Vaporwave.
You've got artists like Blank Banshee, Manapool, VAPERROR, MACINTOSH PLUS, SAINT PEPSI, ΛDRIΛNWΛVE, Vantage, Future Girlfriend 音楽 , 悲しい Android - Apartment , ミカヅキBIGWAVE
There's a ton, including indie artists like Strawberry Station (who's actually a really nice guy, we've spoken on occasion and it was nice to learn he's a chill dude.)

ULTRAVIOLET VISIONS: Perfect Dawn, Bandcamp Friday, and New Releases
Happy Bandcamp Friday UVF!!! I hope you've all been well and are ready for the start of the upcoming cycle of new UVF releases! We''ve got a ton of things to talk about in this week's blog, starting off with the long awaited announcement of the upcoming debut album from TRUMAN! and portal.rwb's (aka me!) new alias Lunar Data Garden!
"Perfect Dawn" by Lunar Data Garden
Tumblr media
The announcement was posted on the Lunar Data Garden's Bluesky page in tandem with the Blue Moon and the beginning of the next lunar cycle. The first single from the record "Back To You Pt. 1" will drop on the night of the New Moon, September 15th, and the full album "Perfect Dawn" will release on the night of the next full moon, September 29th. Lunar Data Garden (aka LDG) is a data safe haven, where any and all past data signals can be decoded and given a new life. The Garden is overseen by the two moons: Natura being the Lunar body of the natural world, and Digitura being the physical manifestation of the digital world. When the orbit of the two moons come together in parallel, we achieve an event of transcendental harmony, a Perfect Dawn. Lunar Data Garden has been a project that Truman and I have had in the works since December last year. After working with Truman on the "hello gravity! 떨​어​지​는 (Deluxe Edition)" release on UVF, and after finishing "ULTRAVIOLET CATHARSIS", we have been working on and off on what we have titled "Perfect Dawn". The album is a beautiful blend of both Truman and I's respective styles, and embraces a very Y2K aesthetic. We started off by back and forth sending each other sample ideas and aesthetic images until we started to finalize what our sounds or visuals would be. The first glimpse of LDG could be found at the end of my Skylive 2023 live set, where I played the track "Secret Place" off Perfect Dawn, as well as officially announcing the collab between Truman and I. Over the 9 months, we have been dying to share what we think is a fresh new take on the Vaporwave genre and we can't wait for you all to hear! "Perfect Dawn" is scheduled to release on Friday, September 29th with CDs and Minidiscs available on ULTRAVIOLET-FUTURE.
NEW ALBUM RELEASES
This week's blog post happens to line up on Bandcamp Friday, so I thought I'd review and recommend some albums on Bandcamp you should all check out and support today <3.
"Peacock Tail of Rainbow Magic" is the latest installment in the Afterdeath Television discography. This album opens up with this beautiful, kaleidoscopic intro "Kill Your Ego Before You Enter" that is just filled with atmosphere and just feels like the audio equivalent to a breath of fresh air. The album is very much in this sorta "Prog Vapor" lane similar to a lot of newer releases from death's dynamic shroud. "Is It Love" is this epic blend of vocal samples from so many different sources that some how all stay together as a cohesive idea. I love the track "Compass Play (Sky Seams)" with its super groovy bass and infectious vocal samples. The track centers around this Demi Lovato sample until the song finally explodes around the halfway point into this dramatic break-beat filled climax. Overall, I love how effortlessly Afterdeath Television is able to blend so many different samples together and form something new in the end. Favorite Tracks: Compass Play (Sky Seams), Crystal Moon
"Dense Object Forest" by out://0f//bounds is the brand new release to come out of the side alias of fellow UVF artist, Two Circles. Dense Object Forest is 10 tracks of Ambient-Electronic VGM styled Vaporwave. The opener "Trailhead (​花​柄​)" welcomes us into this new world with its bubbly arpeggio sample that ping pongs in between your brain. The 2-part self titled tracks feel like the background music to some kind of RPG where you're just standing idly by in some kind of forest village. I love the deep soothing chords in the track "Refracting Crystal Cavern" that are accompanied by this drum loop that just drives the whole thing forward and puts you in a trance throughout the whole experience. The track "Lamp Light Off" is such a beautiful way to close off this album and say goodbye to the little world that was created before it. It's main melody is like a lullaby putting you to sleep and having you reflect on your time spent travelling through this Dense Object Forest. I am always stoked to new music come from both out://0f//bounds and Two Circles. If you haven't checked out any of their work, I highly recommend you start here! Favorite Tracks: Trailhead (​花​柄​), Refracting Crystal Cavern, Lamp Light Off
Other Bandcamp Friday Recommendations
"Species of Crystalline Genesis" by Life Silence Genesis is easily one of the craziest vapor-related releases I've discovered recently. Dropping back in April 13, 2020, this album features production from Claud Sheffner, Métropolita, and Palmer in this insane fusion of Plunderphonics, EDM, and Glitch Pop. I found this album just digging around through the Vaporwave/Plunderphonics tab on Bandcamp and was instantly hooked upon hearing the first track "I Know It". This track boots up with this EDM style riser and these Miley Cyrus vocal chops that glitch and distort while building up to this huge climax, where these high pitched vocals squeal as if at the top of a mountain. Many tracks through out the album feature samples that sound vaguely familiar until they become warped and contorted. The track "Minus Blossom" is another highlight track with its simple sample loop until we gradually stretch the sample into unfamiliarity in this grand glitchy Vapor-trap epic. I'm absolutely in love with how this album maintains balance through the chaos and how it's able to blur the lines between cohesion and incohesion. I highly recommend people check out this album as well as the rest of the music from this artist, seeing that they seem relatively unheard of. Favorite Tracks: I Know It, Deep Haze, Minus Blossom, Slow Decay, Sideways In Time
"Connections" is the most recent project to drop from fellow UVF artist, scarecrow_back in April this year. Easily being my Album of the Year so far, Connections shows scarecrow_ combining everything about their music into one jam packed, eclectic Vapor/Electronic odyssey. The production on this album is scarecrow_ at their best while continuing to come up with so many new and fresh song ideas. "Full Of Color" is exactly as described with its grand drums and bursts of glitchy vocals panning through your ears. "Conciliation Programme" feels like a celebratory opening after this world Full Of Color has been opened. I love how "...and Never Will Be" is a call back to their older release "Never The Same" with the use of the same samples as the insane track "Reality Breaker". "Combined" has this beautiful synth progression following this main Ariana Grande sample until the track breaks down at the midway point and shifts unexpectedly in classic scarecrow_ fashion with this break-beat section that closes the track off perfectly. "Relentless" has been a favorite of mine since it was showcased back with the teaser of the album. The beginning is so melodic and beautiful as this lullaby-like melody starts to build and fade away when the mid section comes in. The track slams through with these abrupt sample chops and transitions into this groovy dance beat. The track flip flops back and forth until these growling Dubstep-like synths come in that somehow still blend together with the earlier elements of the track. Honestly, I can't possible encapsulate any of scarecrow_'s music perfectly in a blog post so I highly recommend you all to check this release out for I'm sure you are going to be blown away. Favorite Tracks: Full Of Color, Conciliation Programme, Combined, Relentless
ULTRAVIOLET-FUTURE & portal.rwb
Thank you all for checking out this week's UVF blog! I've been on vacation from work these past two weeks, while simultaneously planning out the upcoming months for UVF releases, finishing up Perfect Dawn, and getting things ready to print the 1st Edition UVF Magazine, so it's been a super busy time for me. The only thing I ask this Bandcamp Friday is to support the label in any way and check out my solo music as portal.rwb/flx. I've been trying to balance running the label as well as continuing to make more music as an artist, so any support means a ton to me <3. Any purchases made today go 100% to UVF and get split 50/50 with the artists, without the cut from Bandcamp, or you can even tip any amount here on our Tumblr page! Make sure to also join us over at our discord to keep up with the community and to be in the know for any future releases on the label. Thank you all again, please support your favorite artists, and I hope to see you all in next weeks blog <3! -portal from UVF

October 19th:
It was a quiet Wednesday afternoon. I was relaxing in Damian's bed, taking a little nap.
Shaynell:(snoring)
Damian quietly enters the room and smile. He then chuckled in amusement.
He then quietly get into bed with me and wraps his arm around me. I quickly cling onto him.
He smile and starts running his fingers through my braids.
Damian:(whisper) Mija. My sleepy princess.
Then all of the sudden, I starts tearing up.
Shaynell:(sniffling) Don't leave me. Don't leave me.
Damian:(concerned) Mija?
He quickly noticed that I was crying in my sleep.
Damian:(frantically) Mija! Mija! Wake up! Please wake up!
He quickly tap on my cheeks, causing me to wake up. I slowly opens my eyes and saw him with a concerned look on his face.
Damian:(concerned) Mija. Are you ok?
Shaynell:(sniffling) Damian....
I quickly cling onto him and hold him tight. I continue crying on top of his chest.
Damian: Mija. Que Paso? Why did you say "Don't leave me?"
Shaynell:(sniffling) I was afraid.
Damian: Afraid? Of what?
Shaynell: Of you leaving me.
Damian:(gasp) Leaving you? Why would I leave you?
Shaynell:(sniffling) It just that ever since you kicked Edge out of Judgement Day, I was so scared of being abandoned by you. I was so scared of getting left behind because I wasn't good enough.
Damian: Mija. You think I'm going to abandoned you?
Shaynell:(sniffling) Yea. I'm scared because we don't have anything in common. I was jealous that you have a tight bond within Judgement Day and I don't have that type of bond with you.
Damian:(sighs) Oh Mija.
He then slowly wipes away my tears.
Shaynell:(sniffling) I was afraid that we aren't compatible and you might leave me.
Damian: Mija. I'll never abandon you. You're the best thing that ever happens to me.
Shaynell:(sniffling) Really? Even if we have different taste in music and fashion? You liking metal and I like vaporwave or all things 80s?
Damian: Of course.
He smiles and kiss me on the lips as comfort, making me blush.
Damian: Beside, Even though I share share similar aesthetic with the Judgement Day in our gear, we're a lot different in our interest.
Shaynell:(sniffling) Really?
Damian: Of course. We're very different from each other. I mean Finn is obsessed with Lego, Rhea's a gym rat, Dom's into Fashion and I'm into baking.
I slowly chuckled at his comment.
Damian: . You know what they say. Opposite attracts.
He smiles and hold my hand.
Damian: Even though we're different from each each, I'll will always love you, no matter what.
Shaynell:(sniffing) Really?
Damian:(smirks) Really.
Shaynell: Oh. Damian....
I wipes my tears away.
Shaynell:(sniffling) I'm sorry for crying.
Damian: It's ok.
He continue comforting me as I continue crying.
Damian: Don't cry, Mija. Papi will always take of his precious princesa.
He rubs my back as comfort. I slowly started to calm down.
Shaynell:(sniffling)
Damian:(quietly) Shh, shh, shh. Don't cry. Papi's here. Ok?
Shaynell:(sniffling) Ok.
He then hold me tight and continue to rubs my back.
Damian: I don't want my sweet, little Boston cream to be sad. Got it?
Shaynell:(quietly) Ok.
I slowly hold him tight.
Shaynell:(blushing) Bunuelos....
Damian: Now give Papi a kiss.
I smile and kiss him on the lips, making him chuckle.
Damian: You feel a little better?
Shaynell: Kinda.
Damian: How about some hot cocoa to make you feel better?
Shaynell: Can I have it with the jumbo marshmallow?
Damian: Of course. Anything for you.
I wipes away my tears away and smile.
Shaynell: Well that a start.
He smile and carry me out of the bed.
Damian: Let make some hot cocoa together.
He smile and kiss me on the lips, making me blush. He then whispers something into my ear.
Damian:(whispers) When we're done, I'm going to fuck your brains out until you forget what you sad about.
I quickly gasp and blush at his comment, making him chuckle in amusement.
Shaynell:(blushing) Bunuelos!
I let out a small smile.
Damian:(smiles) There's my smiling princess.
He smile and take me out of the bedroom to make some cocoa together.

There isn't too much here in terms of focused studies, just me trying a few things like figuring out how to elevate the abstract vaporwave series and searching for a great waves style I feel is good enough to use for merch (it feels almost there, not quite though).
Personal Update: Life is mostly normal again, which means I've been rushing to catch up things and to try to get ahead, incase things go bad again. Usually I like to have a 2 month stockpile of art to post, but to be safe this time I went overboard and made a 6 month stockpile which is 72 posts. After a bit of a break I hope to finally start focusing on illustrations more.
