#like so authentically happy

[kuroosdarling]

kuroos face lights up so much when he sees you. a genuine smile takes up his face and all his features shine so much brighter the moment his eyes meet yours. anyone who has seen this look unfold instantly knows that he loves you with all of his heart. no one compares to you, you’re the only one that can make his heart skip a beat even after all this time. he looks at you and feels a sense of belonging he’s wanted for so long; one that finally feels like home <3

#yknow how people look a lil diff when they look at the love of their lives #like so authentically happy #i wanna see what that looks like on him #and i want it to be when he looks at me 🤧 #⁺. ʚ aims thots ɞ ⋆˙ #kuroo x reader

mucking around with some riso brushes ft the besties :]

#i was gonna stay more hashtag authentic to the spirit of risograph prints #but then i put this other random colour underneath so i could make sure they were the same size etc #and i liked how THAT looked too much so i ended up messing around with that. happy accidents! #G'raha Tia #Alisaie Leveilleur #Final Fantasy XIV #i draw sometimes #fanart #speedpaint

North: You bought a taco?

York: Yes

North: From the same truck that hit Wash?!

York, with a mouthful of taco: Well, me starving ain't gonna help him

#like hell York was gonna pass up the opportunity to get an authentic taco #the stuff that Florida makes is nowhere NEAR a taco #it's a sin to cooking #despite North's grumblings and protests he helped York gather taco stuff and toppings #if they could they would've taken the whole truck but Niner would vedo that shit cause who wants their plane to smell like rundown Mexico #i feel like most people but not her #so they settled for wrapping up ingredients and shoving it in a duffle bag #and they just left Wash there lying on the ground #what? they're not medics and they probably would've made it worse if they tried to help #you can bet your ass it was taco night in the medlab that night #and every other night for a week #South being the amazing person that she is hid a taco in the vents in the Director’s office #it smells like a taco in there for AGES #then it got moldy #South was pissed he didn't get a disease from it or something but happy that she broke his sense of smell for a while :) #that was enough to get Wash to stop being mad at York for being more concerned with a taco than him lol #agent york #agent north dakota #rvb #red vs blue #inccorect quotes

The Vigilante I/Greg Saunders commission by s.mscott

#exactly what i needed this weekend #the perfect pick me to distract me up from the possibility of my husband going home to texas and realizing his life would be 1000000 times #easier if he just divorced the trans man he married bc he though they were a cis woman #greg makes me happy though #he's been my boy for a million years #greg saunders #the vigilante #dc comics #vigilante #getting a commission of him that i really like even though most people think i'm a loser bc my fave character isn't #the bat or one of the batboys is so validating #it's just one more way i'm taking steps to be authentically me

I feel like every time sso writes Anne’s dialogue they have to make her say some cheesy thing about how shes ready to move on.(first problem u don’t just move on from trauma it always remains part of you).. right after showing her ‘moving on’ (ex training a horsey!) and give her bits to say about her ‘moving on’ (ex photoshoots with derek!) but her long insightful bs always ends in the same shit about how she wants to rid of her bitterness and realize her own inner beauty or something like that and i’m kinda like Ok well you’re doing that already  girl. I wanna see her fuck up and then say these things, like “damn, i totally blew up at linda just then. Mc, i really want to be a better friend” rather than “man, look at all my recent accomplishments. I regret everythign I did in the past and i want to be a better person.” I personally think it more sends this message of a kind of toxic positivity that either ignores completely or hyperbolizes all wrongdoings and creates more self-pity than real optimism. even tho i think it’s sso’s weird form of redundant teaching for little kids to gain self confidence. 

#to me anne has always been a character that loves to self reflect (literally) #and also may not know how to go about it but at least before her time in pandoria it would always be after bad moments and when she is alone #she is a character who may (at least before pandoria) put on an image for other people #but that doesnt mean around close friends she isnt authentic and happy and warm #i think even before her time in pandoria she was able to be doing that #so i dont really get all this bs about wanting to be nicer and better or something #everyone is mean sometimes #like i dont want sso to erase this or cover it up by not giving examples of how tf exactly she was being mean #and sure she probably has a lot of anger for whoever killed concorde but like #i dont see why that should be erased from her character either #if that makes sense #the tags make less sense #i just woke up #i cant write in the morning ffs #sso #ssoblr #star stable online #sso spoilers #sso anne #anne von blyssen

my impression of vere talking about ais: (blushing) oh hes soooo (starts gushing to himself) wait fuck off you didnt hear that

my impression of ais talking about vere: 👍 hes a real one

#touchstarved game #ais #vere #UHM SO LIKE ME AND THEM. ME AND THEM #ais/vere #everyone in the discord is tired of me talking about how theyre both the most honest/authentic of the chars and value that in each other #vere lies his ass off to mess with people but its menial hes pretty genuine about serious things. he and ais both care more about being #honest about themselves than lying for reputation (like kuras and leander do; i think) #ais seems to care about his impression on the MC but not in a way that motivates him to lie about who he is #ALSO WE HIT THE FUCKING SOUNDTRACK GOAL LETS GO IM SO HAPPY

kghn fic where hinata gets hit by a car on his bike ride home. or his bike gets stolen (pseudo sugar daddy kags arc maybe if tobio pays for a new one ?)

#can’t believe i’ve never read this before #if anyone has I am always so happy to receive recs #kghn #kagehina #hinata shouyou #kageyama tobio #it would just hurt so bad and I rly rly love when fics play on the underlaying themes that make hq so deep and complex and authentic #and beautiful #like the difference in resources and accessibility b/w hinata and kageyama #bc of differences in background/wealth #hinata having to do a half hour bike over a mountain to get to school/home every day has always broken my heart a little #like. fuck he’s just a kid #he’s trying so hard #he’s working so hard #now imagine his bike gets stolen #he relies on it and loves it and maybe can’t afford a new one #he’s so sad and worried and torn up #and he’s stressed tf out bc obv his parent(s) can’t drive him or they would (?) #maybe they can but it’s not sustainable #enter kageyama. freaked out by hinata’s tears. doesn’t like how they make his chest feel weird. buys him a new one. #hinata: did you get a new bike . #hinata internally: it looks just like my old one the bastard #kageyama: it’s yours #hinata: excuse me #this reminds me of that fic where kageyama is on a sports scholarship in uni and a year older and buys hinata things kshfksgkfdhk #it was rly cute #oh the accident one is bc every time there’s a shot of a car on the road while hinata bikes home I have a heart attack #ITS NIGHT TIME. YOU DONT HAVE A HELMET. THERES NO ONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. UR ON THE ROAD AND THERES A CAR #scares the shit outta me I WISH YOU DIDNT HAVE TO DO THIS BABY😭😭😭 #even tho it’s super important for ur character and themes etc etc ikik

something unfortunate i have learned about myself is that i have zero self-control when confronted with herbs and spices, especially if they're used in south asian cooking. i learned this when i discovered there are three (3) asian food stores near me, two in easy walking distance, and that it is significantly more cost-effective to buy spices in bulk from there. just stepping inside and seeing the walls of neatly ordered bags of seeds, herbs, spices and dried flowers is like the purest hit of serotonin imaginable. it appeals to me in a profoundly autistic way. i will sometimes just start tearing up from all the wonderful variety and pleasing colours.

anyway i spent a significant chunk of my hobby budget this month on spices and a tawa.

#if anyone has a fave recipe do share i will be so happy #i am experiencing a rekindling of my cookery hyperfixation #and i'm currently like if i don't learn how to scratch cook authentic versions of all my favourite curries i will perish

#summer strike #i don't feel like doing anything #kdramanetwork #kdramakitty reviews #kdrama #I honestly could go off on a lot more things #(mild spoilers ahead) #like how Ji Young got somewhat of a character arc by recognizing that academia is garbage and wouldn't make Dae Beom happy #while also still wanting to move to Seoul herself #and I don't know if it annoyed anyone but I liked the progression of Bom and Jae Hoon's relationship #it felt more authentic than everything being totally fine #(spoilers end) #and overall I just really loved that Yeo Reum didn't find a new grand goal or dream and just got to be happy #maybe it's a personal thing but I feel like being 'successful' and 'ambitious' are really ideals thrust upon us #and so it was really lovely to see someone rise above that

literally the catch 22 of making urself less to keep people around you directly leading to people leaving u bc you’re not opening up to them 🧍‍♀️

#like !!! I’m trying to be what YOU want!!! I’m sorry you didn’t want me like that and now you’re mad I’m fake ?!!!??!! #I’m trying so hard but I don’t think I have an authentic self to live confidently as #bc everyone says the only way to rly be happy is let go of expectations and be your real self and find your real people #but I don’t think I have a self tbh #I think I’m a collection of experiences and expectations and I don’t know how to return to the origin point #oh well I guess!!!!! lost cause! #‘you can’t give up everything for someone and call that love’ WELL WHAT IF ITS THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW TO LOVE ?! #yeah I’ll never have real love bc I only expect to love and not be loved #but let’s be entirely real. you can’t love a mirrorball ! a set of masks ! a changing thing ! #and yeah I know it’s my fault I’m like that but it’s fucking impossible to stop #how can I take chances and live authentically like ??? what the fuck that goes against my like. core being. #idk I’m making it sound stupid but UGH #and then I just become upset later that they don’t love me the same. maybe it’s bc they don’t know me. like sure. they never asked. #but I never told. #i talk sometimes

Oh it feels good to be brave! Went onto facebook marketplace and built up the nerve to message a seller about their copy of Pokemon Platinum. After scanning and double checking their images they had up beforehand, and then double checking and comparing AGAIN once I had it in hand, I can safely say with 100% certainty that I finally own a legit copy finally! My collection is no longer tainted with counterfeits~!!

Now I fought myself with the pricing (100$ CAN mind you) but it was also the best deal I'd get with the game AND the case (no manuel but no biggie) so Im content with what it was.

The game didnt have much on it, but they don't deserve to get reset, so Im gonna trade them over to my Diamond to give them a home (also the moment I put it in my 3DS, love my modded babeyyyyy)

For those wondering how to tell the difference I can show you in the read more below!

The fake will always be on the left for easy comparisons and to not confuse!

First off the front,

-The saturation alone is an indicator if you have a good eye, the left is very faded, almost a tinge lighter than it should be to the right, and the border for the "Nintendo DS" box isnt very defined.

-The font is not as bolded or clearly visible either, if you have a REALLY hard time reading "CONTENT RATED BY" thats above the "ESRB" text, or if "The Pokemon Company" text is hard to see against the red streak in the background. The fakes text is also oddly spaced apart compared to the real copy, like it got stretched a bit becasue the font is so thin.

-This will be the same with the other examples next, but the little insert arrow on the fake is too clear, its more pressed into the cartidge than it should ever be, the real one is perfectly flat all the way across with thr rest of the cartridges face, only difference is that its smooth to the touch as opposed to the texture of the cartidge. You run your nails across the arrow and you shouldn't feel anything stop you or feel a difference!

Next is the back

-Same as the arrow, it should not be as pressed in to give it a noticable difference in feeling. You rub your fingers across the text you will feel it ever so slightly on a real cartridge, it is more surface area than the arrow, but its nothing that should be of note. The fake will be too pressed in again and you WILL feel it.

-For American, the "NTR 005 PAT. PEND." is on both the fake and real here, most times its not on the fakes but they can be there, just be mindful!

-Some may have been faded overtime, but the black text on the back (for american games, double check your versions region) has a specific code to it. An indicator for being authentic is if the carts have the "CPUE" letters on them on the front and the back, as opposed to the VERY wrong fakes like mine having "CPUE" on the front, but the back has "ADAE" instead XD

Now another indicator may or may not be as viable, but it can be another way to see if its legit or not, it is however NOT a guarentee. Not all carts have these but sometimes at the very top of the cartridge you may see a slight indent (top is fake, bottom is real)

So far with my copies of Diamond, Pearl, Platinum and HeartGold, they all have this little indent. It may not always be there, but it may be slightly more reassurong that it is there if it is XD

Heres hoping its helped those wondering if there game is a fake or not with my own version of discrepancy. If you want more ways or maybe a better explanation of differences, here is a link to a handy guide for all the pokemon games! Same guide i used to tell the difference!

#Now to use the DNS exploit and get ahold of the old event pokemon before resetting XD #SO HAPPY I GOT A AUTHENTIC COLLECTION AGAIN #i can't believe the one game that was fake was my platinum copy like eveything else was real because ive had them since they were released! #y'all have no idea how anxious i was just trying to message to say hello like it was baaaaaaad #I nearly missed the opportunity if i waited til the weekend like i planned #buddy was going to move out of town this weekend like fate aligned so well im happyyyyy #pokemon #pokemon platinum #authentic #pokemon games #pokemon gen 4 #smashwolfen #smish pokemon

the "I already bought tickets to go see Indy again next week" moodboard

#actually factually finalized the purchase it's happening same seats and everything lmfao #I am being very irritating abt this I'm not sorry I had so much fun today and I loved this movie to bits #and I'm so happy this is how we as fans get to close Indy's adventures like. #it didn't just feel like half-hearted fan service bullshit it was really well done which I'll be honest #I was not expecting. there are def call backs of course to the previous films #but it didn't feel like heavy handed or cheap #they really did a good job of like. making it feel authentic like. not just a shitty rehash idk for me #it felt like. so appropriate. like he's an old man now. time has passed. they don't just like wallpaper over that #it just has idk so much heart. like the old og movies it's fantastical but there's so much heart #idk I really liked it. it felt like watching the old ones. the old ones had so much heart. that's why you loved indy! #he was a smart ass but he was earnest too and he had heart and he cared and like ahhhhhhhhhh!!! #it's just. idk idk idk I feel like it's such a great close to the adventures for massive Indy nerds like myself #lmao I asked my mom tonight like when was the last time you watched any of the movies #cause you mught wanna rewatch before we go #and she was like well it has been a while cause you don't live here anymore #and I was like I know. I'm never like six months removed from the last time I watched an Indy #and she was like I know it's your religion I know #I just. I loved it. a lot. I really did. as a massive Indy nerd I really did just enjoy it a lot. more than kotcs #but I firmly believe w/o kotcs it wouldn't have been so fuckin good like omg #erin explains it all

Does anyone else think that a lot of the songs on TTPD sound very og Taylor? Like Guilty As Sin and So High School remind me a lot of debut and Speak Now.

#I really really like it! #it actually makes me happy to hear #we haven’t heard that sound in so long and it feels more authentic than some of her other stuff #I want to hear more of it #that’s the sound I originally fell in love with #taylor swift #ttpd

sighing with fond reminiscence remembering as a tiny babe when i fell for a phishing scam in world of warcraft and the support team actually mailed me an authenticator FOR FREE after i had to go through the pain of getting my account back & restored. i think modern game companies would tell you to get fucked and suck their fat nuts if that happened today

#blue moon personal post #i still own the authenticator and its tied to my account :) they dont even manufacture them anymore #i remember being soooo genuinely surprised and happy getting the email like #'im so sorry for how arduous this was well send you a free authenticator as compensation!' #authenticators were like 6-7 bucks if i remember correctly but they were manufactured at a MASSIVE loss #rambling so much i have so much fondness for pre-enshittification internet. sigh.. early 2010s i miss you..
