this is so long forgive me but back with the girl dad aaron thoughts

What set me off was that one post of the “dad leaves his daughter an honest review of her restaurant” (anon can’t get the post but i hope you can find it 😭) and it’s like a play kitchen/restaurant right? LOOK I just KNOW Aaron would be the type to get really into his daughter’s games like !! he’ll do anything, like she wants him to play princess with him, tea parties, house? uh yeah. He gets really into his little girl’s games! He wants her to be happy and have the best childhood he can provide for her!

Speaking of princesses, INDULGES HER SO MUCH if she’s into stuff like disney princesses. She's like four, pre-k age right? imagine she has just like a specific princess she likes, so aaron buys her the designated dress, right, and she loves it and it’s one of those things she just always wants to wear. Aaron is so weak he will succumb to his daughter’s wishes so fast, like “okay, princess, twenty more minutes, but then you have to take it off for a bath.” weak. weak man. it’s been two hours.

That being said: if his little girl does take more interest in less traditional fem. stuff he doesn’t mind! if she prefers superman to sleeping beauty? okay. She loves it when her dad picks her up and lifts her in the air and she can “fly” all across the house. She loves it when her dad makes her her own personal cape, made out of her favourite colour fabric and adorned with her favourite little trinkets (be it glitter and sparkles or some cute beads or stickers). it’s pretty poorly made but she doesn’t really care because her dad made it for her! (also she’s four lol)

If we’re taking the stay-out-home-dad route, OH. OH. At first he’s actually so bad at it, but once she’s in kindergarten he’s an actual pro. oh my god you ever watched those videos where the parents pack their kids cute, nice lunches? HE DOES THAT HE MAKES THOSE LUNCHES FOR HIS GIRL (also his partner assuming they work!). also volunteers as much as his girl wants him to, if she wants him to go on a field trip? boom done, he’s on it so fast. if she wants a little break (it hurts him, poor guy just loves his kid) but he’ll respect it.

Loves braiding her hair and doing it. he actually spent so long learning how to braid hair, he probably got someone else to teach him.(presenting the kc is a pro at hair styling and dressing people to match their propaganda) he could also have just spent hours on youtube, he’d definitely do that. as she gets older if she wants he definitely does her hair. one time, when she was seven she got mad at him and told him; “no, i wanna do my own hair!”

Find him sulking in his daughter’s room, cleaning it up, one of her dolls in his hand. “no… nobody needs me, anymore, she’s all grown up, doesn’t need her dad anymore to do her hair.”

The next time she asks him to do his hair, he jokes around like “thought you were a big girl?” but a couple whines from her and he gives him, telling her he’s just kidding and of course he’ll do her hair.

We adore ask length in this household. If it isn’t long enough to make me up my brightness a little so I can see it properly then what’s the point?

Also this is all great, but hear me out… Aaron the dad to two girls. (Lilith and Alina, perhaps maybe even more)

Squeenix why do u do dis to me D:

Someone tell the lalafells that there's an untapped market to be had! Level 35-48 jewelry is the latest trend!

A once in a lifetime gil-gathering endeaver for your local, aspiring venture capitalist!!!!

.... in other news, I've been prepping myself for jewelery-crafting shenangians, which means clearing out my inventory LOL

But I got too invested and this time I took the time to research alot of the stuff that I've been hanging onto, and it turns out they're really easy to get later if i really wanted them back.

Most of it was either crafting materials (i thought they were turn-in tokens bc they looked special) or they were things that were fairly inexpensive to buy off other people if I wamted to do that in the future. I'd kept alot of things bc I wasn't as familiar with the UI/the game as i am now back when I tried downsizing in the past. Like I'd hold onto alot of junk bc for example, I'd research about this cool shiny item. and it'd start out so innocently lol.

I'd be like,

"oh I can use this to craft neat gear! Well I'll hold onto it bc i want to do that soon"

but then itd quickly spiral into

"oh, well I need a master crafting tome of X level, and to get that I need to collect these things. Okay that's doable. But wait, to do THAT, I first need to level up these 2 jobs so i can craft/gather the ingredients, alright.. (goes to level up the jobs) ...oh. i don't even have access to the zone that I need to collect those materials in, so then ACTUALLY I need to do the MSQ up to THIS point. Damn, thats kinda devastating bc I just spent all this time leveling lmao. Well, I got this far and i dont want to just toss these items, so ill just hang onto them for now

And then eventually I forgot about the details related to those items, but I remember how let down I felt while dealing with them so i just put it off and eventually they blurred into the clutter of the other stuff going on in my inv/I got invested into other goals lol

But now I've gotten better at asking the right things like "is this item rare? Where is it dropped? What is it used for, is it for crafting or a token or smth else? Also, does an NPC vendor ask for this in return for something cool? Could i buy this item on the MB later on?"

Whereas before, I'd just be like "okay. what can i use this for?? " And then I wouldn't see any crafting use for it, so I'd just toss it, and then 10 mins later id go to Mor Dhona and realize DANG IT was a TOKEN, i coulda traded that for smth interesting!! And it seems like a PITA for me to get again 😭 .....so thus began my hoarding :)

can't regret what you don't discard! lmfaooo

Also said screw it and sold off most of my food bc I realized by the time I worked thru all those edibles, id probably have a sub and would be able to buy HQ food really easily. Like, I'd been holding onto the food from when I had brute-force-leveled CUL to 50, and I'm still gonna have like ~200 hours worth of exp lmao.

I also actually, seriously reviewed the differences in food stats for once in my life (this deserves so much praise tbh bc I do not care for their details as long as I'm getting the exp buff lmao) and realized my level 15 HQ food is useless to hang onto bc my lvl 40 normal foods are still way better, and all this other info that's probably common knowledge lmao (and ik i CAN get more efficient with this if I prioritized food with stats that align with which jobs I'm gonna main for now but um. this is far as I care to go into the weeds with food details for now lmaooo like... no. stop thats too much to worry abt for me 😭😂😂 i mean like, i know (i think i know?) Strength and determination for tank, spell speed/piety for casters, skill speed for dps bc it just sounds like it makes sense lol. So like ill half-assedly try and pick the best stat buff food but its not really smth tht im overly concerned abt atm tbh. Maybe later at a higher level but for now everything seems to be okay without needing to suffer over the details)

So I sold off a buncha stuff off to an NPC and now i have a whole page and a half of space. I'm so excited!

I also reviewed the clutter in my chocobo sidebags and finally traded in the ancient gear drops to Rowena and sold off some faded maps that i realized are really common and can get again later lol

I'd have more space but i think I can use those few items up in the short term so it's just a waiting game for moar space uwu

But, yeah!!

✨️ A page and a half of inventory!! ✨️

I haven't had this much space ever since probably the MIDDLE of doing the main 2.0 MSQ!! xD

I honestly wasn't going to do this. 😭

But, I just...I have thoughts. I can't help myself. So, I wrote another entire ass review of the 3rd installment of this Sam and Colby Season 1.

A couple of quick overall thoughts before I break it down:

I actually do think Sam, Colby and Seth are my favorite combo. Seth is just so chill, and he works really well off of snc. And they feed off his chillness and tone it down to a level that is acceptable for my old ass.

According to things that snc were posting on xplrclub while they were filming these videos, Colby was a bit under the weather (just a cold!) while filming, so if he seems off (tired, acting odd, when he was talking about having chills at the end), I think it can be attributed to his immune system more than anything paranormal (only mentioning this because i saw some youtube comments saying they thought Colby seemed "off").

They finally listened to us and brought a second camera!! This means there's hope for them listening to us about filming videos alone (as in, just snc), and figuring out a way to record what the spirit box is saying during the Estes Method! That's progress.

Remember my disclaimer: Any thoughts, criticisms, or reviews expressed in this post are my own opinions. The definition of opinion is: “A view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.”

All of my more detailed thoughts are available for purchase under the cut (no purchase necessary):

So, as you all know, I did not like the first two installments of season 1, at all. I really didn’t have very high hopes for this one either, solely because of how “meh” I was about one and two...but this one surprised me. I have a few criticisms, but overall- this was far more in line with the content I enjoy from snc. I have zero complaints or critiques about their editing or filming this time, so I won’t even cover any of that.

Instead, I’m going to cover the following 4 areas:

1. Storytelling/History

2. Equipment

3. Paranormal

4. Let’s Talk About Energies, Baby!

Let’s start from the Storytelling/History, shall we?

First, I just have to say: after all of the years of them half assedly telling horribly researched and completely untrue stories, they finally actually start getting better at the research and storytelling- and that’s when they decide to start running disclaimers at the bottom of the screen. Respect.

That being said- can I just say that I do not buy the story of this house? This house, and the owner, gives me "we're upside down on our mortgage so we quick made up an urban legend haunting to sell to the masses to make the house profitable" vibes.

And this is coming from someone, btw, who used to go to Centralia, PA on school field trips as a kid. I've seen what coal mine fires can do to towns and homes and lives. Portals to hell are way low on the list of dangers.

Now, this "psychic" business with this Edwin guy- if any of that is true (and again- sounds a bit urban legendy to me), that's more likely the cause for any possible issues in the house than anything else. When people who aren't well equipped to protect themselves play with that kind of fire (pun intended), they get burned.

Also, sidenote- you don't just decide to jump into a career of being a psychic, the way you would decide to jump into a career of being a mechanic. You either are a psychic, or you aren't. That's not a skill you can go to college to learn- it's your body and mind's inherent ability to see/feel/communicate with the paranormal. You can hone that skill in particular ways, you can learn how to protect yourself, or how to better communicate with the other side- but if you don't already have that natural born ability...you aren't just going to be able to just figure it out as you go along. And honestly? Trying to do so is more dangerous than anything else.

Anyway, soap box moment over. Let's talk Equipment.

First of all- I watched this video twice, because I missed a few things on the first watch. Even after the second watch was over, I found myself sitting there going, "Ok, but what was the purpose of their little disco tambourine?" Like, why do they have that and why did it bring it along?

I don't know why they had so much rave gear (light up tambourines, light up rings?) in this episode, but they can just leave that shit for Coachella. None of it served any purpose. I’m deducting a few points for using shit you could buy at Spencer’s Gifts in 1997 as “equipment” (but adding the points right back on because it reminded me of a time in my youth when we were all at Spencer’s Gifts buying these little glow sticks that you could put in your mouth and we would just walk around with our mouths glowing neon green all day, which explains a lot about why children of the 90s are the way we are now, lol).

Again- you start to lose me when you start relying on too many pieces of equipment that have no basis in the paranormal, especially when the equipment is being supplied by the house. Like, the owners of this house are relying on you, the paranormal content creators/visitors, to believe that their house is mega haunted. The more they can promote that, the more money is coming in. Who’s to say their equipment isn’t rigged in some way? I would honestly discount- or at the very least, be extremely cautious with- pretty much any piece of equipment supplied to me by the people who own the place I am investigating.

And as far as equipment in general goes- look, I’m not saying you shouldn’t be using any equipment at all. Use your rem pod and your creepy little music box, fine (bonus: Sam exclaiming: “That’s the creepiest music box ever! We need that one!” about the music box that was supplied by the owners of the house made me laugh). I actually think the spirit box/Estes session is cool, if a little ambiguous at times. But a talking teddy bear? Disco tambourine? The wacky flashlight tricks? Pretty much anything built by Steve Huff? Eh.

That being said- objectively speaking, that portal box thing was creepy as shit. Do I believe in it? Again...eh. I don't quite get how it works, but them voices were creepy. Why did they all have to be so...sinister sounding? And why do these spirits always seem to be screaming Colby’s name?

Speaking of the Paranormal...

The seance. Creepy portal box aside, I have to admit that I laughed when the lady who owns the house started invoking random angels (Did she mention Uriel? Is this Supernatural? Who's next- Castiel?) and Colby just pops his head up and stares wide eyed at the camera, and then at her for a second. Like, me too, my dude.

Also, this idea that there's no such thing as coincidences: I mean, coincidences are cool, and fun, and weird sometimes. But sometimes, a penny on the floor is just a penny on the floor, you know?

I have to say that the concept of them (Sam, whoever) potentially being targeted by an entity that has been following them since long before the Sallie House is intriguing to me. It would explain why they seemingly have more interesting things happen to them in places that aren’t necessarily haunted than most. They have a long and storied history of fucking with shit that they do not understand/know how to protect themselves against (see: my rant about psychics and playing with fire), so they could have picked something up anywhere along the line.

Hell, Sam is a known skeptic who has brazenly done some fucked up shit during his “3 AM Challenges” for years. Who the hell knows what is really going on with them. I never thought it was “Sallie,” and I’m glad they are starting to kind of distance themselves from that thought a bit, as well.

Let’s talk about energies, baby!

Any of you who know me/read my nonsense ramblings, know that I have opinions when it comes to these two and their abilities/energies. Let me quick break it down for you here (again: opinions. Not fact):

Sam: Sam is a skeptic, and seems to have a mind and walls like a steel trap. He rarely seems to have the same feelings as others (Colby, Kat Seth, etc) when they are in these situations, and I largely think its down to his skepticism and his inability to let his walls down, more than anything else. This man wants the science and the equipment to explain it all to him, and doesn’t trust the intuitive process as much as he sometimes like to seem he does. I also think his skepticism and his need to experience something for himself before he’ll totally buy into it, is what makes him so open to an attachment. He won’t safeguard himself as much, and he’ll do just about anything for the views (those 3AM Challenges are not something anyone who believes in this shit would fuck with). He is the person in the horror movies who jokes about the slasher being around the corner because he doesn’t believe- only for the slasher to pop up behind him and rip his head off. He is opening himself up to attachments with his demeanor, his skepticism, and his inability to take any precautions against what they are doing. The more he dabbles in this stuff, and the more attachments he acquires (like Pokeman, gotta catch them all!), the more in-tune he would, in theory, become to what is going on around him. He just needs to open himself up to it and give up control a little more- something that I think he struggles with.

Colby: Colby has very big, very intense energy (possibly stemming from being an old soul). We’ve spoken about this before, but that man is a bug light, and every creature on this earth, living or dead, is a moth that is just drawn to that energy. That energy can intimidate other entities (living and dead) in different ways- some entities find safety or comfort in that level of energy, some find it off-putting. It does explain why it seems like so many entities (and living creatures) have such over the top, odd reactions to being in Colby’s presence- its all a reaction to his output of intense energy. Now, what Colby is giving out in energy, he has to be pulling back in, in some measure. I think he has the same intuitive ability as Kat and Seth, in a sense- that he can feel the energy changes and shifts in a room, and can draw on it just as much as other entities draw on him. In short- he is something of a “lightning rod” of energy. It also has to be said, that while he does approach some situations with a modicum of logic, he is a believer in the spiritual world, and does truly believe in his faith and that he has the power of God behind him. That’s important. That helps him protect himself, helps keep him cautious and wary of taking things too far (disclaimer: again, from a religious standpoint- I am not advocating for or against any religion. I think the belief of religion in general can be a very strong safeguard for people). Between that and his intensity, it’s no wonder entities aren’t lining up to attach themselves to him, but that they are drawn to him.

Also, as a sidenote: it really is a good thing Sam and Colby found one another. Their energies really just align in a way that is of benefit to them both.

One of my (many) gripes about the previous episodes, was that I got screwed out of hearing Colby talk more about his feelings on the matter of energies and his intuition. So, you have no idea how happy I was when the subject came up again in this episode- and wasn’t immediately shot down.

First of all- I love how casual this man was about someone telling him that he intimidates ghosts with his sheer presence. “Oh yea, I’ve had a lot of people tell me that.” HAVE YOU? And why have you been working overtime to gloss over it this entire time?? The only other time I remember this coming up in conversation on camera was when Amanda mentioned that the ghost at Lizzie Borden was “scared” of Colby (which my psychic ladies I watch on youtube attributed to the spirit there being...wait for it...intimidated by Colby’s energy).

Mind you, the last thing I want Colby to do is go full Amanda, or do what Kat and Celina were doing in the last episode and get too far into his own head about it and start taking it too far- but damn, dude. You can lean a little bit farther into this, you know?

It’s just so interesting that there have been multiple instances of ghosts clearly being drawn to Colby (Maddie at the Shanley, his name being repeatedly said multiple times in places like the Conjuring and in this most recent episode, Amanda mentioning that the ghosts at both the Queen Mary and the Hotel Del Coronado “really seemed to love” him, etc); and yet, Sam seems to come away with the attachments. It really does point to Colby having big energy, but far more power in that energy and in his convictions that nothing can harm him, while Sam is the definition of “fuck around and find out” when it comes to playing with the paranormal, and closes himself off to intuition that could save him, while opening himself up to intuition that could get him into trouble.

Its fascinates me!

They need help, lol. Both of them.

I would be extremely interested in seeing both of them sit down with a trained psychic who could help them figure out what is going on with them, and how to both protect themselves better (mostly Sam) and use their energy in a way that would be more productive on these paranormal investigations (Colby). Imagine what they could do, if they knew what they were doing?!

Overall, this episode really intrigued me, and I’m glad they followed up the absurd shit sandwich of the first two with something like this, which I feel is far more suited to them. I’ll give this one a solid 7.5/10.

A couple of quick little random things I enjoyed:

Colby's complete and utter inability to climb steps. Go little rockstar, indeed.

"If this gets 300k likes, Seth is going to the basement by himself." Seth: 😐

I love how excited they were that they finally brought a second camera, and the second camera thing actually worked in their favor. That's what we've been telling you guys! Listen to us more.

Colby just fucking with Sam at the beginning when Sam was saying that the Bellaire House was one of the top 10 most haunted houses...such sibling energy, with these two.

Sam: "We would have a billion views on this video if a ghost solved this rubik's cube in front of our eyes." Honestly, you'd get a billion views on the video if YOU solved the rubik's cube in front of our eyes. That shit is hard!

Anyway, next week looks a bit filler- which is ok! Not everything has to be better than the one that came before- so we'll see if I feel the need to go in depth on that one. But if you ever want to read any of my previous reviews, I use the tag snc video review for them all.

Also, lmk what you thought!

Timothée Chalamet’s Fan-Made T-Shirt Is The Real Star Of His Recent Red Carpet Look

At this point, meeting someone who isn’t obsessed with Timothée Chalamet and his ever-changing style is rare. But only a select few of his fans go the extra mile, and an even smaller number go as far as Avery Warsaw, a 19-year-old Sarah Lawrence student whose life is about to change forever.

For his latest red carpet appearance, Timothée wore a Stella McCartney off-white tailored suit with black lapels. But while most of the Internet is talking about his newly grown facial hair, it’s something else entirely that has us placing his ensemble for the 2020 National Board Of Review Gala in the history books.

Underneath his suit, he didn’t wear a button-down (not even an unbuttoned silky one). Instead, he chose a hand-embroidered T-shirt given to him by a loyal devotée. “I made this shirt,” Avery Warsaw wrote in a Tweet with dual photos of her wearing the T-shirt and Timothée’s red carpet look. “So glad to see you wearing it ahh it looks so good,” the rest of the Tweet reads.

Dying to know more, we reached out to Warsaw directly. “I actually gave the shirt to his agent Brian Swardstrom as they were leaving. It was at a Little Women screening that I went to, and I didn’t get the chance to meet Timmy, but I was just so excited to be there and give Brian the shirt,” she told us. She thinks the shirt, which includes a multi-coloured, hand-embroidered peace sign that she’s made before, suits the actor flawlessly. “Peace signs are kind of his thing and he always says ‘peace and love’ so I thought that this would be perfect for him. I thought it would be cool if he could own a shirt that I designed and made, let alone wear it.”

@RealChalamet I MADE THIS SHIRT😭❤️❤️SO GLAD TO SEE YOU WEARING IT AHH LOOKS SO GOOD pic.twitter.com/s0HhmOFR16

— Avery Warsaw (@averyywarsaw) January 9, 2020

But he did wear it, once again throwing us — and Avery Warsaw — for a loop. “I saw it as I was scrolling through Instagram and paused, noticing that it looked familiar — too familiar,” Warsaw says of seeing Timmy wearing her shirt for the first time. “Once I fully realised that it was my shirt, I freaked out. It was and still is surreal! But it’s so cool because I look up to him for fashion inspiration and now he’s wearing a shirt that I made. It’s crazy. I was with my mom and my sister and we were all screaming and freaking out — it was the coolest thing.”

As for her all-time favourite Timo looks, Warsaw has a few. “I love how he is constantly trying new things with his style. Some of my favourite looks are his blue, floral embroidered [Alexander McQueen] suit, the Off-White “gas station” outfit, his magenta Stella suit, and the [Louis Vuitton] monochromatic red suit.” We can relate.

Avery Warsaw isn’t going to forget this moment anytime soon, especially once orders for the Timo tee start coming in — which they will. “I would totally buy one if u made more,” one user replied to her Tweet. Another user @ChalametsCherry wrote, “Oh my god how do I get one? It’s so cute! Do you sell any?” In the end, one thing is for sure: We’re ordering one ASAP.
