reminders of the passage of time moodeboard

#my blog is in his last year of middle school. he'll be off to high school next year (at least I think so..? 13 yrs old is usually 8th grade #at least from my experience. 9th graders are usually 14. 10th are 15. etc. etc. and then you're in 12th grade #and graduate high school usually 17yrs old.) ANYWAY.. wow he is so ancient.. #maybe he's still in a preteeny early teen emo phase or something.. I hope he gets some black and white striped armwarmers and black eyeline #r for his birthday. Maybe an MP3 player of course. Though because I don't really like most alternative music and he is my son he's actually #not allowed to listen to metal or pop punk or emo rock whatever stuff. I open the mp3 player and pre-stock it with only #disco and funk and classical music. he can have a little chiptune or techno stuff as a treat (sometimes emo adjacent maybe more #scene. I think a lot of scene kids were into that more.. emo's weird eccentric brother)) #Also he starts taking iron pills his 13th birthday because he's probably incredibly anemic just like me #so on and so forth and et cetera (I'm just being silly.. I am not pro-controlling your children down to whatmusic they #listen to or etc.etc. lol) #THOUGH I love that it's in january... january is one of my favorite months if not my favorite. yeeaaay #just such a nice cool month. I like that it's the start of the year mostly and that it's sometimes snowy here. Like where I live nov - dec #isnt really actually snowy?? You always associate those winter Months with snow but I think snow happens later on this coast #so it's more like Jan - March or even april sometimes. Though that may just be climate change lol.. But it's cool that Jan is winter AND #ACTUALLY snowy. plus the Beginning Of Year vibes and energy.. hrm... nice nice.. ANYWAY #AND this is not even my first tumblr blog. I had a different one before it I think.. #evviilll to be on one website for so long lol.. Very thankful that most websites I used to use as a 10 year old or whatever #are now defunct. There's something weird about how humans are just creating endless streams of words and pictures and all of this stuff #and it just goes out into the void and stays there long after the person themselves has forgotten it. not even like 'oh no what if i said #something bad!!' but more just the general sense of.. people create so much more ideas than they can actually hold in their heads. nobody #remembers exactly word for word every post they've ever made or etc. It's like parts of yourself that you've externalized and then fade awa #from you but they're still you but they're not so you just have little snapshots of yourself in time floating around entirely unbenknownst #to you. like making clones of yourself and then forgetting you did so but every once in a while going 'shit... there's clones out there.. #of me and I don't even have track or awareness of them anymore.. what an odd concept..' etc. not EXACTLY like that ghbj..you know what I me #n.. or maybe you dont.. hrmm... ANYWAY #I am just now slightly recovering from my most recent mysterious illness spell and etc. so I would like to post more again and mAYBE even #do a costume if I'm being ambitious.. but after so many times of being randomly stricken by problems I'm now fearful of ever being too #hopeful lol.. always like 'I would like to go to the grocery store tomorrow! .... MAYBE.. if i CAN.. possibly... NOT getting my hopes up'. #etc. etc. etc. every statement has a caveat and a backup plan and so on and so forth and such is life.. anyway. happy birthday evil tumblr

so wait, since i was just reminded of the recorder thing donna talked about in the giggle, i now have a question for uk ppl: do yall learn the recorder in school? like in a music class? and like how much do yall have music class over there?

#this is a very interesting topic for me as a music educator from the us #ik a guy from ireland and he said there was no music class in schools for him and like not the same country BUT same island #(as northern ireland. not the others in the uk but still) #and its so wild and fascinating music education is a fascinating field and the way we do it in the us seems to be largely vvv unique to us #for clarification on how things are different so ppl have a better idea on how to answer my question lol: #in the us music class is standard in elementary schools and most places have general music until abt 5th/6th grade (year 6/7) #(general music = basics- music games learn recorder SOME notation-reading; often classroom instruments eg boomwhackers claves maracas #orff instruments if you're lucky/from a school district that isnt poor. also some world music) #its less standardized after that and not every school will have music after middle school but concert bands and choirs are both huge here #choirs start right on the heels of general music classes (sometimes start earlier + students elect to be in choir instead of general music) #bands USUALLY start in 4th grade (year 5) but sometimes can be later 5th/6th (year 6/7) or even 7th (year 8) (WAY less common) #depends on the state generally 4th is most common i think (choirs start at around the same time i think so probs 4th but choir isnt my area #orchestras are weird bc theyre a lot less common but can commonly start younger bc of one of the big approaches to music ed (suzuki method) #so like maybe 3rd grade (year 4) maybe 4th w/ band (year 5) but i have a friend who teaches at a private school #& said they have 1st/2nd graders (year 2/3)!! orchestra is also not my area though #also marching bands: vv common! usually just in hs (starting 9th grade / year 10) bc it supports the football team at games #but starting in 8th grade (year 9) is also common (sometimes even 7th / year 8) #theres two different styles: collegiate/show band and competition. former is very rah rah pop music etc; competition is more abstract #show bands are clearly designed to entertain whereas competition is designed to be more impressive and tell a story #so more impact moments abstract shapes/lines on the field and has movements - opener ballad closer (fast-slow-fast)

[allthingskenobi]

are obi wan and satine in love?

I don't really think so.

They might have thought they were 'in love' once when they were much younger, you know, in the way many of us find ourselves 'in love' as teenagers. But they didn't act on it.

She had her duty to Mandalore, his to the Jedi Order, and they made the important decision that was ultimately right for them.

I don't doubt at all that they still cared for each other. Naturally, you might still long for that 'first love' in a way, how it made you feel, and the circumstances surrounding that. And for what little we know of their time together, it was probably intense -- they were trying to survive together! Those things bond people for life.

So yes, maybe they still loved each other, but I see it only as friends, not 'in love.'

(free personal opinion with purchase: I don't think it would have been fair for her to actually ask him to leave the Order, anymore than it would have been fair for him to ask her to give up her own Mandalorian home, family, and community. And I honestly don't actually see him saying yes, despite what that episode of CW tells me. 🤭)

#anon #i feel like i'm opening a can of worms... #i also did not feel he should have been still 'pining' for her in any way later #especially not on tatooine - 10 years after order 66 #of course none of this keeps the fic people from doing whatever so #knock yourselves out lol #asks

I'm really concerned about old xian's health. Sitting behind a computer for long period of times can cause serious damage to your body especially your neck, back, shoulder and wrist. And many comic artists and mangakas are suffering from it after drawing for many years and old xian has been drawing for more than 7 years. I remember they used to update every seven days and more regularly, but now they're taking longer breaks, and it's taking a longer time to get a new update, and recently it seems like old xian takes a break after updating two chapters.

I hope old xian take break as much as they need, I don't want them to hospitalized from over work😥🙏🏻

#19 days #old xian #I don't know when 19 days will end #I don't even know If we're near it or no #But there's still so much to unfold to say we're close to the end #19 days is like one piece lol💀 #One piece started on 1993 and now it's 2023 #So 26 years💀 #I wonder if 19 days will continue for 10 years later #Or it will end 4 or 5 years later #With the way old xian is going with the plot is really hard to tell #If you've noticed at the beginning of the story the weather seemed hot and characters wore short sleeved shirts #But now they're wearing long sleeved and more clothes #So does it mean the weather is getting cold and probably they're nearing the winter? #or maybe nearing the end of school? #I know it seems like at the story just three weeks passed but I guess we had some time skips #So maybe it's not just a few weeks maybe it's few months #at least i hope

I'm torn with khux/khdr/kh3's developments with Ventus and Vanitas because part of me always loved that they are 2 halves of the same coin, and how connected they were. But I also think the idea of Ventus and Vanitas being ancient beings of light or darkness is also sooo coooool

#kh spoilers #kingdom hearts spoilers #i gotta be more aware of what I say if any fuckin text post can show up in a tag/search result... #the ONLY way I'll be 10000% happy is if both Ven and Vanitas are ORIGINAL pieces of the shattered X blade from MoM's childhood #explaining why they made the X Blade on their own (not 7vs13 like kh3) during BbS #I ALSO need Nomura to explain why Darkness was in Vens heart in ReMind if Vanitas had been torn out like 10 years prior #he bend over backwards to explain how Terra could be the Guardian-- he better do it again for this LOL #Idk KHUX just felt SOOO thought out #but KHDR getting an update a month later with CHANGED DIALOGUE #idk.... it feels like Nomura's slipping for me... I hope I'm wrong

maintenance guy just showed up at my door unannounced to check out something i reported yesterday...on the one hand loving this prompt service. on the other hand, give a broad some warning. i am in my pajamas and the place is a sty. but he might actually fix a thing that's been bugging me for over a decade, so that would be nice. not that that was urgent, obviously. so i would have appreciated a heads-up.

#i reported...let's see...5 things yesterday if you count the things i had reported previously that have always been ignored #he says he's going to fix 2 of them later today and he will escalate a third thing (which will require ripping out the floor so uh #i hope i'll have lots of warning for that lol) #we shall see. i will be so happy if he replaces my toilet seat though because #once many years ago shortly after i moved in i wrote on my butt in sharpie (long story) and then at some point after that used the toilet #and it stained the seat and like...i don't even know...eroded the coating...so it has looked REALLY GNARLY ever since #no matter how clean it is #so i never want anyone to use my toilet because it looks so disgusting #i've just been warning people about the toilet seat for the last 10+ years. ready to move on from that one youthful mistake #my posts #linked to

[coridallasmultipass]

Got my Dirk shirt all remade now, over a decade later, lol. The first one (from either 2011 or 2012, I don't remember) was on a thrifted shirt (bad idea, because it was already thinning, and costs the same, and it's RARE to find plain white shirts in a thrift store, so you don't get to choose the size - I had to alter the old one). I also accidentally bought shimmer paint because I thought "Pearl" meant the paint was matte. (Pearls are matte, they're not shimmer glittery!!) And I only had one size of good quality paint brush to use.

Now, I have new materials (still the wrong paint, because the store only had the 3D/textured paint in orange, but I made it work), and more brush sizes I can use. I still traced the shape and placement from the old shirt, both to save time, and also because it's like, using something from the old one to make the new one, like handing down the torch, or whatever sentimental reason. (The old one was traced off my old laptop screen, I think.)

I already made a mistake when I tried scraping off a microscopic paint fleck off the sleeve and accidentally held the black brush in my other hand and painted all over the shoulder and it wouldn't wash out, but I've decided that, that will be a grease spot from patching up Squarewave, so if you see the splotch in my future cosplay, 'it was intentional.' \></

So yeah. Here's to many more years of Homestuck cosplay, lmao.

#homestuck #dirk #dirk strider #striders #homestuck cosplay #cosplay #Cori.exe #Image.exe #Create.exe #dont ask me about my dave shirt or dirk tank top i already have too many projects on my plate i need to finish #...and i dont have base shirts for those. i didnt wanna have a project pile up in case i didnt get to this one #but hey i had the time and space to do this today so i got it done #((thank u medication that works lol)) #side note i hate that clothes stop being functional after like 10+ years of wear #i mean my dirk tank is okay but i outgrew it #but my dave shirt is disgustingly threadbare and i had to move it to 'pj shirt only' a long time ago ... #... and i dont even wear it as pjs any more bc its that holey and worn down looking lol #but it was a pain in the ass to paint square pixels once so i havent remade it yet #hopefully later but who knows how much later. im not dave i just like his fashion. dont ask me about time.

House MD, my beloved 🖤

#way back in lile 2014. i found out my mom had cancer in the middle of watching house md #idk but thats really funny to me. i think bc my dad made me pase the episode. we had the conversation. and then i was like ok well #id like to go back to watching thr cancer show now if were done sitting in awkward silence now. which is like a goblin thing to do #but like it wasnt a huge shock bc we knew she had a tumor and all that and i didnt understand how to relate to ppl as well back then #but yea did not stop me watching house for even 2 seconds. and almost 10 years later my mom is still getting cancer treatment #booo. fuck that 👎👎👎 #idk the amount of anxiety in my body today has been unhinged and i thought. what will make me feel better? #the medical malpractice show. and i was right lol #its fun to watch him solve the problems and i love wilson #unrelated

[superbellsubways]

thinking about the initial idea i had for some of my ocs. im really glad i went with something different..

#bitz and hb were going to be different 👎👎👎 i changed my mind a couple months later after doing a bit more development #they were going to have a much different view of their creator and humans in general #but i ended up not liking that #i am somewhat satisfied with what im working with rn #it is alot better than before for sure #guh i need to work on my other stories #ive had concepts ive been holding onto for almost 10 years now LOL

[gentlenotes-moved]

i remember quite a long time ago when i was like 8 and i was at my grandma's house crying about something small and i was so confused why i was so upset about it. my grandma said "well, you might be angry about a lot of things right now, and it's all building up" and i sat there thinking that that was the most idiotic thing i've ever heard. but like. 10 years later and i'm in the exact situation she was describing.

#mine #personal #also turns out i was just still upset about my cat daisy dying recently at that point so my grandma was right lol. i didn't realize she was #right until later. but i've realized over the years that she has taught me a lot of lessons that still help me a lot today. #she taught me that naming ur emotions can help u process + express them n how to be still and quiet like physically mentally emotionally an #spiritually. like her and i would sit on her living room couch together and for like 10 minutes we wouldn't talk. at all. we would close ou #eyes and take deeps breaths and then after a while go back to what we were doing. i thought this was all very dumb and meaningless when i #was a small child but the lessons i've learned from her have actually helped a LOT over the years when it comes to dealing with negative #emotions and difficult situations. i have some confusing mixed feelings about her (personal family related reasons) but i'm honestly #really thankful for her. i miss her a bit tbh.

Spoilers for the ninth Detective Conan OVA, "The Stranger From 10 Years Later."

Realistically, out-of-universe, I know it's little more than fanservice. It's a peek at what a popular recurring character's future could be, a snapshot of how things may turn out for him. But in-universe, I can't help thinking about the implications of 26- or 27-year-old Heiji's short cameo appearance in Shinichi's literal fever dream.

There's an immense level of detail to the entire scenario. The tree in the Kudo yard has grown taller, downtown Tokyo is littered with new buildings and renovated old ones, a high school teacher's face is lined with more wrinkles than he ought to have after a mere "few months." It's a vibrant, breathing world that Shinichi's imagined—one that indicates to me that he's deeply considered the possibility of never returning to his old life. He's walked by his home, in a body so small that he can't even unlock the gate, and thought to himself, "One day, that tree will tower over the fence, but I'll still be stuck as tiny Conan." He's ruminated about it, wondered and speculated and deliberated, how the city around him will change while he hasn't been allowed to, not in the way he wants.

And he's done the same concerning Heiji. And... it's positive. Immensely so.

Interviewer: For today, we'll be interviewing... The famous detective from Naniwa, Hattori Heiji-san! He has brilliantly solved numerous intricate cases and is now recognized all over Japan! He's even opened his own detective agency!

Or, at least, it is at first, anyway. It's quickly revealed that Heiji and Kazuha's relationship hasn't progressed in the slightest, which, while obviously not a particularly favorable outcome for either of them, does say something about Shinichi. Because you could argue that Shinichi envisions Heiji living the life that he himself so desperately desires. You could say that the true purpose of Heiji's appearance in this OVA is to accentuate the future that Shinichi craves but cannot have, not yet and never as himself, where he's the mastermind behind a thriving, well-renowned detective agency, where an interview with him is unquestioningly broadcast on a huge screen overlooking Tokyo streets, where busy passersby stop in place, look up, and listen to what he has to say.

And... where he's also popular with girls.

Heiji is known as "The Lady-Killer of Naniwa" in Shinichi's imagination, and especially early in the manga, Shinichi does explicitly enjoy that kind of attention (File 10, included as File 1 in Volume 2, spells this out directly).

Interviewer: I've heard that the young ladies have a certain nickname for Hattori-san... "The Lady-Killer of Naniwa."

But the fact that Heiji and Kazuha have gotten nowhere points me elsewhere. This isn't an idealized fantasy that Shinichi wishes he could have for himself in the slightest. Ran is his dream. The emotional heart of this special, the dominant, overarching tragedy, is how Conan's overwriting and erasure of Shinichi prevents him from being with his lifelong love. There's no way that Shinichi would ever imagine a "happy end" that's anything like what Heiji and Kazuha have going on in this OVA.

So, what does Shinichi's conception of 26- or 27-year-old Heiji mean? A few things:

Even in this nightmarish "bad end," Shinichi cannot conceive of a life without Heiji, just as he cannot conceive of a life without Ran. It's unthinkable.

Shinichi wholeheartedly believes that Heiji will be wildly successful in his career.

Shinichi wholeheartedly believes that Heiji is so attractive and good-looking that of course he'll be wildly popular with women. Undoubtedly.

tl;dr, Shinichi's thought about Heiji's future, and those thoughts are really essentially, "Yeah, there's no way that my boy Hattori isn't going to have his own fantastic detective agency one day, and also, he's a hunk, so he'll be called 'The Lady-Killer of Naniwa.'"

Seriously.

#detective conan #case closed #the stranger from 10 years later #shinichi kudo #heiji hattori #heishin #ramblings #shut up goop #i know i'm a broken record but you can't tell me that shinichi doesn't think highly of heiji #or that he could never be romantically attracted to heiji #even if it's vague i think this is the only time that shinichi has ever openly acknowledged the physical attractiveness of a guy #like c'mon he literally thinks heiji is so attractive that he'll be called 'the lady-killer of naniwa'??? i seriously cannot get over that #and sure this is just an ova and probably not canon but if some of the kazunari kouchi-written films are apparently getting canonized (?) #i don't see why this kazunari kouchi-written special can't too #it's canon in my heart in any case lol #anyway of course thinking highly of someone and that they're physically attractive #doesn't necessarily mean that there's any romantic attraction #and i never ever ever mean to discount the significance of platonic bonds or imply that they mean any less than romantic ones #i'm all about focusing on friendship first (which is why i rarely tag ships) #but at the same time it *really* rubs me the wrong way to see the argument that shinichi could ~never~ reciprocate heiji's affection #it feels a lot like 'well of course the desirable protagonist could never romantically love the dark-skinned boy' #and maybe that's unfair of me but i can't deny that that's how i feel #shinichi clearly has a lot of love for heiji and this ova shows that he finds heiji attractive #like... i really don't think it's as implausible as it's made out to be

[itspileofgoodthings]

me to Nina yesterday: explaining how due to a headache and exhaustion I wasted away the end of my afternoon just watching Ryan Gosling interviews

Nina, instantly sympathetic: and I completely understand that, a valid thing to do

#the thing about Nina is that most of the time she not only hates my coping mechanisms she also plain doesn’t understand them #one of the many tensions of our relationship #but she was just 100% like yeah. I fully get it #and it made me feel so much better #my relationship with Nina the work of a lifetime because the moments of mutual understanding are so rare #but so powerful when they happen. and it takes years to discover that sudden gold #(my mom is often so troubled by our relationship. she’s just like (whisper voice): do you guys even like each other) #because we’re just SO sparks fly (antagonistic version) in many of our interactions #and it’s just like. YEAH. We’re just going to have an intense altercation and clashing of opinions viewpoints values and perspectives #at least every other day. LOL #but we will navigate it! #no one on the planet I smooth things over with as fast as Nina. it is lightning-speed reconciliation #because we both move on so quickly in the same way. in that the mood will just lift #we got in a fight the other day. Nina left and stormed out. 10 minutes later I get a text going #‘I’m sorry Maria. I should not have said that about your mother’ #which made me laugh because we weren’t fighting about our mom. She just likes to quote Jacqueline from ever after sometimes out of context #and my mom was on the couch watching me like ‘you’re reconciled???? It��s over?????????’ #because my mom a) is so different from both of us in the speed she processes in and b) has no sisters #0 sisters. 4 daughters. and she still isn’t used to it lol. because my mom’s strength and weakness is that she never gets used to anything! #ALSO Nina told me the other day that I’m the one that taught her to apologize because I would just make her do it when we were kids #not to me but to other people! I would just sit there and explain how verbal acknowledgement of wrongdoing would make things better #and she was always like ‘ughhh I hate it so much. FINE’ because she always does want to make things better #anyway this SHOOK ME TO MY CORE. Because I never thought Nina actually internalized any of the things I’ve said to her ever lol #and she was like ‘yeah you gave me that good habit’ #(I love apologizing. Love to put it into words and I have an intense need to do it immediately and thoroughly) #(tbh it’s only with time that I’ve come to see that other people do not work that way. and need more time. and are not just — #instantly comfortable putting everything into words especially the hard things) #(because it’s not like I’m always driven by more charity and compunction. I just ducking HATE unresolved things not put into words) #(so it helps me feel better. and sometimes you just gotta learn to not say it right away if it’s only going to make things worse #(or learn to say it in different way without words. that actually communicates the sorrow. And that can sometimes look like giving space!)

........okay do you ever have like, the smallest recollections of something that you're not even sure was a real thing.

#wasn't there like.... a hatoful browser game.............. #like a short little game you could play on a website #it had the ending screen that you can get if you don't date anybirdie in the game in it? #and. i don't remember anything else. if it was official or a fan thing or. if i'm completely remembering something incorrectly or if #maybe this was a dream i had at some point and i'm somehow remembering it like 10 years later #*new creative post tag here* #this was spawned by me watching a random video and seeing the thing that ending screen was parodying lol
