me getting The Last of Us part 1 platinum trophy for the third fcking time HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!! (because ps3 disc couldn’t transfer to ps4. then the remastered came out and my save didn’t carry over💔)
Man. I’ve been watching Bleach with my partner and the “Stay Beautiful” outro was playing and as soon as I heard the tune I really felt like my middle school self bingeing Bleach at 3 AM in my bedroom. The arrancar arc is just unparalleled for me. So awesome lol and so nostalgic. Bleach was probably one of the first if not the first anime I ever watched. Just happened to stumble upon it while I was up later than I should’ve been watching Cartoon Network (which went into adult swim at later hours of the night). I wish I could go back to those days and be a kid again.
I watched this when I was like 11 and I loved The Flash for the longest time (part of me always will), but I never managed to finish the show I stopped somewhere around s4. I randomly thought about it again today and looked it up only to find out that TODAY is the exact date that seemed so far off in the future in 2013. ONE day later and I would have missed this iconic moment in my life. How have I made it this far? As a kid it seemed like APRIL 25 2024 was nothing more than a fictional date that was never going to happen.
This was actually my first real fandom and I am forever greatfull for that, the first time I discovered shipping could be between any two characters canon or not and the first time I discovered gay fanciction (coldflash). Also a time where I delved hardcore into Xreader for the first and only time in my life, I had the biggest hugest fattest most gigantic crush on Barry Allen and consequently Grant Gustin. How can time be real when I am now the same age as he was when he started in The Flash? This is truly nuts and an iconic moment in my life!!
Anyway as a thanks to anyone who bothered reading my crazed ramblings I’m putting together a playlist of my favourite edits from this era of my life:
P.s. I don’t know how many times I listened to Barry sing “Running Home To You” and imagined it was to me, it was too many.
