#sorry this song came up in my iTunes shuffle the other night & Brain was like ''you know who this song belongs to right? :)'' & here we are

[mxldito]

rules:  tag ten followers you want to know better !   repost! do NOT reblog!

name: Ravis but my friends call me Ray or Rav!!!

star sign: Scorpio

height: 4′11″. . .😐😑😐

middle name?: Yes but I don’t like it so it doesn’t count. 

put your itunes or  whatever on shuffle. what are the first 6 songs that popped up?

Black Mass - Electric Wizard

Motorpsycho - Devil’s Witches

Choker - Honeyblood

Dangerous - Depeche Mode

Land of the Sky - Bask

Hunter’s Moon - Ghost

grab one book nearest to you and turn to page 23. what’s line 17? 

“’Draweth near in the gloom the twilight of the gods .’ The ravens of night have flown forth to summon Loki, who hath set Valhalla aflame with the searing trident of the Inferno.” -  The Satanic Bible by Anton Szandor LaVey

ever had a poem or a song written about you?

Not as far as I can tell but I’ve written poetry about other people before. 

who is your celebrity crush? 

I wouldn’t say crush so much as I just like their faces but Cody Fern and Tura Satana.

what’s a sound you hate; sound you love? 

HOOOOO WHAT SOUNDS DON’T I HATE. I hate the scraping of metal, the sound of skin on unglazed ceramic, fireworks, electrical buzzing/clicking, children screaming, slamming doors, etc. I do like the sound of running water, mechanical keyboards, long nails tapping on tables, and windchimes tho!!

do you believe in ghosts? 

Oh yeah. I’ve seen and heard spooky shit all my life. As much of a believer as I am, I’m also a skeptic. I always aggressively look for an explanation before I decide it was a ghost. Either way, ghosts are punk ass bitches :v 

how about aliens? 

Again, I’ve seen spooky shit before. UFOs, I can say I’ve confidently seen them. Aliens? I cannot. I’d like to believe in them but I don’t know if my brain can handle actual evidence of them existing. They freak me out a bit, ngl. 

do you drive?

Technically I can, I’m just overly cautious. I don’t have my license yet so legally speaking I can’t drive.  

what was the last book you read? 

Sunglasses After Dark by Nancy A. Collins. 

do you like the smell of gasoline? 

Yeth. 👁️👅👁️

what was the last movie you saw? 

Death Proof. It was fun! 

what’s the worst injury you’ve ever had?

When I was about 11, my friends and I used to race to class. I ended up slipping somehow and my glasses hit the wall (not my face, just my glasses). I was wearing these purple metal frames that had a bit of a sharp edge and it sliced into my eyebrow. They made my sister (@stagebystage) wipe the blood off my face in the nurse’s office lkfjsdlkfjslkjsf until my mom and cousin came to pick me up and took me to get stitches. Now I got a neat lil scar on my left eyebrow.

do you have any obsessions right now?

Oh yah. I’ve been absorbing as much VTM content as I can recently! I’m constantly scheming for the Chronicle I’m running as well! Other than that, my brother got me on Spy X Family and I’m just always waiting for the next episode to come out!! 

do you tend to hold grudges against people who have done you wrong? 

I used to but then I realized they probably would never be sorry so there’s no point in letting the wound fester. Those people only ever cross my mind when I’m telling stories about my youth.

in a relationship? 

Look at this image. Crazy, yeah? :0

Happy weekend, Chelle! It’s Friday night for me, and I’m spending it with a hot water bottle to help my cramps and watching a serial killer documentary on Netflix. 😆 I’m also currently suffering from writer’s block... any advice? 🤔

Happy Friyay for you sweet B!

But a writer’s block? Oh no! I hope you can break yours faster than I did mine! 

Things that helped me were:

To do something completely different, to try something new so I could ensure I wasn’t sick of my same old schedule and just needed some inspiration as opposed to actually being stuck.

Reading actually didn’t help me for some time, I just became really critical of books and the way they wrote technically (which is very rude of me, I know, considering I have a lot of faults as a writer myself!) But when I started reading on tumblr last year randomly, I was immediately inspired, so it’s definitely something that helped me want to write again in the end. 

When I was ready to try again, I set myself shorter expectations. I was used to writing stories with 30 + chapters each time and oneshots/drabbles were something I hardly did (I’d actually never written a drabble before to the standards you see on Google’s definition). So I found a prompt list, went to Google and got a random number generator  and wrote whatever came to my mind from what number/corresponding prompt I ended up with. 

If I didn’t want a pre-made prompt, I went to itunes, put it on shuffle and the first song that played was the idol I’d write for and the second song was the one I’d go look up the lyrics for an idea to write. Again, just wrote the first thing I could think of without putting any effort in. 

Either way, doing these short exercises made me feel like I was achieving something again, and soon I was more encouraged to try ideas I came up with on my own, and write more than 500 words each time. 

There’s this really amazing habit/goal mindset that I recently got into and it’s been a game changer. It’s basically about a high bar, low bar scale. Not every day we feel like doing the same thing, sometimes we’re busy, sometimes we’re sick or just don’t care enough to do a specific habit/goal. And so we skip doing it, and then we end up falling off it altogether if we get into a rut about it. I’m not saying you’re going to stop writing altogether any time soon, but this concept really works in tricking the brain. Basically showing up regularly is key. We get so stuck on doing the goal to the full extent (ie, writing a series and then starting a new one shortly after) that we forget there are steps in between we can be taking to care for our creative minds too! So the concept of this is “what can I do that will still keep me creative in my writing each day/every other day?” What is the least amount that will satisfy you as a writer to achieve regularly. That could be your awesome reactions or some drabbles. Then, you go up the scale to what it is that you want to achieve regularly. By showing up and doing the smaller creative works, your brain is tricked into thinking “wow, I’m not as tired or uninspired after all.” Soon, without realising it, you’ll be able to write something that’s longer or think of a series and it work out onto a document in the way you hoped for. 

I know this explanation is a bit… messy. It’s not my concept but I use it daily for a lot of my tasks because I’m the type of person to get really stressed out and discouraged if I feel like I’m not doing enough to my own standards. I’ve noticed it’s really helped me with understanding when I need to write something I’ve been planning out, and when I need to just write something with no true plan and let it write itself. 

I’m sure you probably didn’t ask for all of this, but I hope at least something in here helps you a little! Be kind to yourself whilst you feel uninspired to write… I wasn’t and I think that was key to why it took me 2 years to find my joy for writing again.

These Things Are Fun Lets Give It a Go

Tagged by the lovely @mygeekcorner​ !!! 

RULES: answer all questions, add one question of your own and tag as many people as there are questions. (…. yeah not doing that one sry)

tagging: Whoever wants to do it!!! I’d love to get to know people better :) I’m also shy and would like to tag more but don’t want to overstep my bounds. @dreamsinteacups @rollertoasteroflife @booksncupcakes @ramigo and @totallynotanobody and @nakedpasta (you last two can just tell me in person if you want, haha)

1.      coke or pepsi: Coke!!! Drinking Pepsi where I live is basically blasphemy. 

2.      disney or dreamworks:  Both excel at different things. Hard to pick just one, really. Depends on my mood. 

3.      coffee or tea: I feel like by now most of you know, but Tea all day everyday. 

4.      books or movies: books

5.      windows or mac: windows…. I have so many issues with macs i swear the computers can sense my fear.

6.      dc or marvel: Gotta go with marvel. Their universe and interwoven story lines are A+.

7.      xbox or playstation: Playstation - it’s what I grew up with as a kid.

8.      dragon age or mass effect: neither. don’t play them.

9.      night owl or early riser: Night owl

12.  vans or converse: Converse I suppose

13.  lavellan, trevelyan, cadash, or adaar: ????

15.  beach or forest: Beach if I had to choose.  

16.  dogs or cats: Cats!!

17.  clear skies or rain: Definitely rain

18.  cooking or eating out: Eating out can be fun, but i’m also cheap and really like to stay inside, so probably cooking more

21.  would you rather forever be a little too cold or a little too hot: Where I live is super hot so I’d have to say cold. Also, when you’re cold you can always put on more layers. There’s only so many things you can take off when you’re too hot.

22.  if you could have a superpower, what would it be: I’ve been adamant about this for several years. I would choose teleportation. Just think how much money you’d save? No more plane tickets, no more paying for cars/car insurance…. You’d also never be late to anything, ever and your commute time would be zero! And if a bad guy is near you you can just teleport away!

“I want that” (via Napoleon Dynamite)

“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”  (Dr. Seuss)

“Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.”

(J.K Rowling…. this was actually my senior quote in my year book)

29.  youtube or netflix: netflix

30.  harry potter or percy jackson: Harry potter, however I really also love Percy Jackson as well. They’re both good boys.

32.  star wars or star trek: star trek.

33.  paperback books or hardback books: Paper back only because it’s less expensive. I understand that hardbacks are superior though.

34. horror or rom-com: Probably horror, although it can’t be one of those super cheap horrors that rely on jump scare or whatever. It needs to be legit and interesting. 

35.  to live in a world without literature or music: What would be the point to life???

36.  pastel colours or dark colours: Pastels

37.  tv shows or movies: shows - you stay with the characters longer and there’s more time for character development and complicated plots.

38.  city or countryside: City. I like the country for like… a few days, but then after that I get really board. As much of an introvert as I am I still need things going on around me to be happy.

39.  if any other zodiac sign could describe you, what would it be: Don’t get me started on this pseudo-psychology….. (*whispers* prob a virgo)

40.  if you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life what would it be: Oh god this is hard. I don’t really listen to albums, mostly just individual songs that I like. If I had to pick one, though, at this point I’d choose Hamilton. 

41.  cinema or theatre: cinema simply because I rarely, if ever, go the to theatre. I know I enjoy it, but it just happens so rarely that I can’t really compare the two.

42.  if you could be any fictional character’s best friend, who’d you be: Yuuri Katsuki or Kuroko Tetsuya. I feel like with both we’d get along really, really well.

43.  smiling or smirking: Smiling. Smirking has a rather negative connotation, no?

44.  are you an ‘all or nothing’ type or are you more consistent: Consistent

45.  playlists or your whole library on shuffle: Playlists. If I shuffle things I always end up skiping until it gets to the song I actually want. 

46.  travelling or staying at home: Traveling, but it can’t be 24/7. I definitely need time to recharge at home once in a while.

47.  books or fanfiction: Both are great, but tbh like most of us I have only really read fanfic recently. I have a few published books that I’m currently trying to get through, though!

48.  If you could live in a fantasy world, what world would it be: Probably Harry Potter, but only if I was a witch. Having magic would solve so many of my problems!

49. your favorite cartoon: It’s kinda up for debate whether it’s an anime or cartoon, but I’m calling it a cartoon made in the anime style simply because it’s not Japanese made. Avatar the last airbender/Legend of Korra

50.  name the weirdest five songs on your itunes, current or past: Hmmmm ok here’s what I came up with

Chum Drum Bedrum Ok I love this song so much. The singer completely describes how I am as a person: hella awkward, long and lanky, and flowy. He represents me on so many levels. 

2-1 by Imogen Heap Not a lot of people know about this song but I find it so intriguing and interesting. Definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, though. 

Wide Eyed by Animal Collective This song is what it sounds like if you're on LSD, I imagine. 

Five Night’s at Freddy’s Song 1 This song is very strange - it’s based off of a horror computer game - but you have to admit it’s jammin.

Seaboard Rise 49 Literally heard this song at a music museum and it’s the most lit keyboard song you will ever hear I guarantee it!!!

51. mountains or plains: mountains

52. favorite anime (or tv show if you don’t watch anime): Yuri on ice (of course), Death Note, Death Parade, Kuroko no Basket, Ouran High School Host Club, and Erased. (sorry couldn’t pick just one!)

53. which social media platform are you most like yourself on: Tumblr in terms of personality I suppose, but since I try to not post everything about my life on here there are a lot of things missing that don’t really come through. I’d say facebook simply because almost everything about me is uploaded on there, by one person or another. I’ve had my facebook since I was in 7th grade, so it’s really documents my life almost. I’m not really into any other social media other than those two. So in conclusion, tumblr in terms of personality, facebook in terms of being able to open up more about my life.

54. What are some of your passions: I am in love with the brain. I think that it is akin to the deep ocean or the universe - there are so many things we do not understand about it. It also houses our personality, every thought, memory, emotion. Every little nuance that makes us human. Yet it really is just a collection of water, lipids, proteins, and neurotransmitters, yet somehow in all of that we have developed a complex sense of self. Are our personalities really separate entities, or are they just a complex construct that our advanced brains have superimposed to make sense of the chaotic word that we live in??? Basically I want to research some sort of neuroscience/biopsychology related field. 

I also love genetics for similar reasons… I find it fascinating that some sort of elemental coding for our functioning lives inside us. 

I’ve also found a new passion for writing as of late :)

5th February 2018, 6.20am.

Tonight I found my copy of the album The Suburbs by Arcade Fire. I wasn't looking for it; in fact I'd thought of it recently and decided that I'd listened through the whole thing so many times that I probably still needed some time before going back to it. But I stumbled across it tonight, and I haven't felt such a pure moment of... I don't even know, just being pleased? in such a long time that I stuck it on my iTunes without a second thought. Shuffle seemed to know to drop it in at exact right moment, the exact right song as I got into bed.

It's funny, because I don't look at Arcade Fire and feel like they represent me, or that they are outstandingly musically talented or anything. To be honest, I sometimes think they're a little preachy. I understand when other people say they aren't fans.

But The Suburbs was something different for me.

I never knew Arcade Fire, really, until I was at a festival where they were headlining. I wasn't feeling 100% and all my friends had gone off to see an act that was too many people in a tent thrashing around to drum and bass or something - which of course I felt guilty and embarrassed about not being able to join in on, despite now knowing that the enclosed space alone probably would have given me a panic attack. So I was ill, left alone in the camp, and feeling a bit sorry for myself. Deciding not to let me ruin my own time, I pulled myself up and got walking to the main stage area.

Now, it had been a long weekend. That night was our second to last, it was my first festival, I'd had my purse stolen, and I was feeling frustrated and abandoned by my friends (foreshadowing for years later I guess, I really don't know how I didn't see all that coming). I may have also been a little bit high, mostly through no fault of my own.

So little old me, on my lonesome, took place standing quite far back from the stage. The sun had mostly set, so it was soft and purple, and there didn't seem to be quite the crowd that other main stage acts had gathered despite them being headliners (probably most people were crammed in that tent with my friends) but the vibe was good. There were small groups or couples of people around me that I considered talking to, but for whatever reason, I didn't.

Then on they came, however many of them there were, and the first song started up. 'Ready To Start' - I can still listen to that song now and be brought back to that moment.

And it was just what I needed. I don't remember the rest of the set list, don't know which song was played next or after that. I just remember that it felt like I was being perfectly targeted by these songs, and they were all for me, in that place in my life I was in right then.

I think it was either during or just after college, the years that were probably the roughest for me in terms of mental health. I was numbed almost entirely for two years. I listened to music as noise to drown out my brain. Emotional music - anything from raw rock music for expression to warm soul music for healing - none of it really did anything. It was just old stuff I used to like, to act as white noise.

Arcade Fire - but specifically the Suburbs album, which I think had just come out that year so it was most of the set - came in with music that provided noise, with the number of them each having their own instruments and Regine running between different ones and adding backing in French, but noise that felt like closing your eyes and sinking into something clearer. Because, to me, their lyrics weren't really offering emotion: it felt more like logic. It felt like thinking through the 'why's and starting to figure out where I'd been, inside my head, this whole time.

It offered an insight into youth, a relatively uncomplicated youth with suburban privilege and no real reason to have any problems, but struggling. Struggling not to be unhappy, not to feel trapped, not to feel all the struggle of the world.

It wasn't a perfect fit. I didn't grow up in suburban America (or Canada), I didn't ride my bike around town with my friends, I wasn't particularly surrounded by a nuanced allusion to the American dream. But when they talk about wanting freedom and meant it as freedom from, perhaps, suburban oppression... I wanted freedom from myself. And it worked together, because the place where I grew up acted as - and still does - a symbol for how I ended up with that brain. When they mention finding where they belong, it works literally for me, as well as being about getting to the point where I can work with my mental health, where my own brain stops being my enemy. Even 'We Used To Wait' potentially being a slightly preachy song about modern day laziness and reliance on technology, I hear it and think about how I used to write and read and how depression has harmed my brain so much that it's nearly impossible for me now. The yearning for a simpler time is just me yearning for a time when my brain was more simple - aka, when it could actually function.

Aaaaaanyway! I could decode this shit for days. But I won't.

Arcade Fire's last album, Everything Now, wasn't great, in my opinion, but they don't fail to hit the nail on the head every once in a while; it's almost annoying to still identify with them like this, years on from that festival. The song 'Creature Comfort' mostly lays it all out too much for me, almost boringly so... But then it gets to the bridge.

"On and on, I don't know what I want, on and on, I don't know if I want it"
