#the sets were nice though

saw Poor Things earlier & there was a guy very loudly snoring during most of it & honestly ? yea

#stream #my bestie told me it was a comedy but like #girl #where was the jokes #is the joke ‘haha u shouldn’t talk about masturbating’ like … girl #ok #everything was just #SO ON THE NOSE #BORING #costuming ? they gave up at the hips #like #BLAND #the sets were nice though #& the characters w less than 3 lines had more personality that any of the main cast #BORINGGGGGGGGGG #my darling loved it though #so it wasn’t BAD i just thought it wasn’t. great #too much obvious sex like this isn’t meaningful in any way

Bitterthorn

gothic fairytale

set in an imaginary German town where every generation, the monstrous witch in the woods steals someone away to be her companion, never seen again

follows the daughter of the duke, lonely and grieving her mother, who offers herself up as the witch’s newest companion

she assumes she’s destined for something horrible, but is mostly left alone in the old castle, and tries to find out more about the mysterious witch & what happened to the previous companions

eerie and atmospheric

#bitterthorn #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #kat dunn #I liked this a lot! some nice atmospheric writing. #I liked the MC’s interest in geology and ecology! Though maybe that could have been expanded upon. (flirting via rocks tho? cute) #The fairytale influences are done in an interesting way #and of course I love weird [spoiler] stuff #i feel like. it could have been set in a fantasy world rather than the real world because the #handful of mentions of real world events were like. either go into more detail about this or just don’t mention it lol #not perfect but i enjoyed it

my one complaint about the booping day is that now that it's over, all the notifications regarding it are gone too, and though I would finally have time to go through all the random blogs I interacted with massively but didn't immediately think to follow are now gone from recorded history )-:

#my second complaint which has more to do with myself than the booping day itself #is that i didn't wake up early enough to pay back all the boops that i received during my few hours of sleep D-: #like I'M SORRY FRIEND I WOULD HAVE BOOPED YOU SO ARDENTLY IF I'D ONLY THOUGHT TO SET AN ALARM #also i'd like a statistics feature of the booping day boops #global statistics and personal statistics #i'd love to know how the booping frienzy affected user activity on the global level #which percentage of active users activated the booping feature #what were the most popular booping times of day #how popular was spam booping #how popular were super boops and evil boops #did an average user give or receive more boops #how many self boops per user #i'd obviously love to know top 10 global boopers and boop receivers but that's not in accordance with tumblr way of life #personal top 10 would be nice though #who did you boop the most and how much #who booped you the most and how much #sending this out into the void in the hopes that this actually exists somewhere and i've just become too boomerized to realize #boop

⭐ Strike a taunt, Star! ⭐

As promised in my previous Star Tower post, here is a handful of taunt frames I've drawn of yours truly! The second one in particular is a completely original pose I came up with myself, though here are the references for the first, third and fourth ones! 💙✨

#⭐ Star's Art ⭐ #Star Tower #Pizza Tower #Pizza Tower AU #Sprite Art #Coolness #(INTENSE TAUNT SOUND EFFECT) #It feels nice to finally post these! I've had the first three sitting around since the third quarter of last year #The fourth one was just drawn yesterday and I thought I could post all four taunts I had drawn as a set #There's absolutely more I intend to draw... though I thought this would make for a fine starter! #Most of the other Star Tower taunts will all be referencing some form of arcade-related media #Though the only exceptions are the first three shown here which were drawn to test out the taunt styles #It was CRUCIAL that I drew Star doing the one Peppino taunt because that one is my ultimate favorite #My fellow Starfighters on tumblr may recognize the second one as being the figurehead for a weekly holiday... #S U P E R S T A R S A T U R D A Y #Also! As for the Pac-Man maze background featured in these... you'll be seeing it again sometime soon 👀

Today was a good day :)

#Today three strangers were kind to me in three different occasions. It was such a nice coincidence :) #I've been working on Akutagawa's birthday the entire week and today Akutagawa posts were all over my dash. I'm so happy! #I managed to do all the edits I had set up to and I'm glad :) #I dressed rigorously black and white and wore the black striped pants I bought because they reminded me of Beast Akutagawa's outfit #I did my nails black and red!! #My mother called me to congratulate on Akutagawa's birthday #I even baked a cake with a friend and they were so sweet ///// #I'm so grateful they managed to make time for it even though they've been so busy and tired because of their job #More than everything I'm grateful they weren't weird about it #They found it a little silly but they never made fun of me. They helped me pick the cake. #And today they even told me that they looked up a video of the character to understand me better #Which TERRIFIES me because no way anyone could get a good impression of Akutagawa from a single video #But if we ignore that it was an unbelievably nice gesture :') #It's just such a foreign feeling because outside of my blog I NEVER talk about my hyperfixations irl. #Because when I used to when I was younger I was only met with scorn or mockery so ever since I started university I simply learnt not to? #And it's just so genuinely weird to talk with someone irl who wouldn't judge me for it– #and not really in the good way because part of me is still convinced that they *are* judging me for it. #Doesn't matter everything suggests the contrary. And I keep overthinking if I overshared about Akutagawa or if I said something dumb #But I'm trying it not to get to me. Today they've been nothing but nice through and through #Whatnot. The last months were very tough for some reason I'm just happy good things can still happen :) #I want to start the queue again now that I'm generally more free and done with Aktgw's birthday and everything. #I also have new exams the first days of April and the program is pretty heavy and wide. On top of following courses. I'll see what I can d #I'd like to start regularly posting again because I'm afraid if I don't I'll just sulk further in misery. We'll see. #Ah I need to catch up with the dash since I've basically not been on Tumblr for three days... #That's it just rambling. I hope everyone's days are nice too!!! #random rambles

honestly it bugs me a little how 99% of the comments on the these are the days of our lives music video, one of my personal favorite queen mvs for pure aesthetics and mood, are people calling it "heartbreaking" and hand-wringing about how SICK and PALE and CLOSE TO DEATH freddie mercury looks. like. wooow the dying man looks like he's dying? really? well done, nancy drew! have a gold star! yes aids is an awful fucking disease and yes hiv positive people shouldn't be reduced to washed-out portraits of the words "inspirational" and "strong" by the media and they should have their pain acknowledged but guys. freddie, by all accounts, very much Did Not Want To Dwell On It. he told his friends he had aids and then immediately was like but i don't want to talk about it. i just want to spend the rest of my time making as much music as i can. and his bandmates accepted that and supported him! he wanted to spend the time he had doing what he loved with people he loved and who loved him and he did. he had, by all accounts, a great last year. that one person who took the days of our lives bts color footage and edited Sad Piano Music TM over the entire thing and intercut interviews with the rest of the band also with Sad Piano Music TM and made it so we could barely hear freddie even say anything... it makes my blood boil like he's literally just. like it's literally just footage of him walking and discussing a take with the director and standing waiting for the take to start like. normal video filming stuff. and all anyone can see is a tragedy because he's walking stiffly or whatever

#imagine you're dying and you just want to spend your last days making music that you love and that other people love #and you're in so much pain all the time but you make the effort to go into work #and record even though your voice is getting weaker by the day #and film a video. even though you have to spend hours in makeup so people don't realize you're sick #and it hurts to STAND but you do it anyway #and you request that certain takes be redone because you still want to make the video the best it can be! you don't care that you're hurtin #you really want to make something you're proud of that people will love #because you know it might well be your last video #and you want it to be a fitting sendoff #so that you avoid being remembered for your disease #and then thirty years later no one talks about the actual video #they're not like 'what an epic kimono!' or 'this pared-down set is so nice and really fits the song!' #or 'wow roger taylor's wearing one hell of a shirt!' or 'this is some of john deacon's best bass work!' #they do exactly what you did not want. they focus on how sick you look. #i literally saw a comment that was like 'you can see the sadness in roger and john's eyes🥺' #bitch no the fuck you can't. shut up. you have the benefit of hindsight. you KNOW freddie was sick at the time #but if you didn't know that i know you wouldn't suspect a thing #fuck off. you're making that up! they literally don't look sad they look fine #because this may come as a shock to you but they were also doing something they loved #and yes undoubtedly the mood was dampened by freddie's condition. but do you think they didn't enjoy it at all? #you can literally see roger smiling in a couple shots. please just appreciate the band's hard work. it's a really good fucking song #and a really good fucking video. #sorry. lot of tags. i just have strong feelings on this lol

my mum picking me up this morning: you're not as hungover as i thought you'd be

me, just yacked in an alleyway: yeah haha

#it's 3pm now and i still cant believe that happened that was. an experience #basically my mate's 21st coincided with her sister's 30th so they both had this big joint Event last night #where they literally rented out a farm house and the field nearby and set up a whole campsite and barbeque and everything #it was really random but also really good esp bc ive been friends with this girl since we were super young #and our mums were friends so ive just got. lots of connections to her family and it was nice seeing them all again #but there was fully like 60 people at this thing and i DID drink more than i meant to but i wasn't paralytic which is good #and my hangover ISNT that bad in terms of how bad my hangovers can get #it's just that my mate's dad picked us both up at 9am this morning which was already going to be... rough #and then proceeded to do the bumpiest drive down the country lanes ive ever experienced #i was literally grinding my teeth like i am NOT about to throw up in this man's car please if there is a god do not let me throw up #and i didn't! my mum picked me up from this (thankfully very quiet) road that has this rickety old alley coming off it #and i had the very humbling moment of 'im actually going to be sick aren't i' and had to WAIT FOR AN OLD WOMAN #TO FUCKING MEANDER OUT OF THE ALLEY AND WALK FAR AWAY ENOUGH FOR ME TO AT LEAST HAVE A SHRED OF DIGNITY #and proceeded to throw up. in a public alleyway. at 9:30am on a sunday. so of course i needed to tell you guys about it #im now force feeding myself garlic bread. im going to manchester tomorrow. i have a flight at the crack of dawn on tuesday #what is even going on anymore #also fully did just do nos last night with some 30 year olds. i cannot express how fucking odd a thing that is for me to do #actually no i can express it bc youse know that im funny about drugs so for me to not even be that drunk #and get offered a fucking balloon of all things and be like 'yeah why not!' is.... odd #i know i inhaled wrong though bc it didn't do a thing which honestly im happy about <3 #hella goes home

#these are just some thoughts re: friendship as a result of tonight that i need to jot down somewhere but #realising that i really do have a strict and set idea of Good Friend(ship) and what that entails to me #and id written people off bc i wasn't yk ~receiving love or friendship the way id prefer and i was angry with them for that/hurt about it #did i communicate that to them though? nooo. was i fully right in that? also no. like just bc i felt unheard didn't fully mean #that they were doing something wrong. they were trying in their own way (and sometimes they weren't really or it just wasn't nice) #but that's about how we match and how we communicate right? this is so silly that's so basic but it never fully clicked for me like this #i was blaming them for stuff and building up resentment without ever expressing that (and i still haven't yk dhshsjd) #and i think where i went ~wrong was in thinking that bc i felt that way they weren't ~giving me what i need #when it's like... but did i pick up on the ways in which they DID appreciate me and show me love etc? did i give them ANYTHING to work with? #(ok yes occasionally but also... tangent but i was watching a variety show and they were teasing woozi about how #he gives interviewers/hosts literally nothing to work with. like no extra information for them to ask about or tease him for or anything #and i was like ohhhhhh. yeah i do do that sometimes with friends and it's genuinely smth i don't really know how to do like #giving casual information (but not too much and not too little???) so they can then ask questions etc. so then if im like ughh #they never ask (the right) questions or show interest (or let me talk but that's a different thing dhsjdjd) it's like... #well do i give them the chance to? much to think about thank you woozi) #anyways where was i dhsjsnsnsjns idk but it's soooo annoying that i haven't figured this all out yet #but im slowly letting go off a bunch of resentment that has truly no business being here and im trying to self reflect and all that #and im honestly doing so shit some days but others days it's? finding stuff that matters to me on a deeper level ig? #and all of it really does pale in the face of multiple genocides and it's. but yk. if i want to keep fighting #i need to build a strong foundation and sort my shit out as well and be present so im really really trying #and beating my stupid stupid depression and brain with a stick until i get there

having much older adult friends who know how to do shit rules my mom's friend saved me 400-600$ on toilet repairs by doing the job himself in 3hrs because he was like "well fuck it let me try before i go to lowes"

#you really benefit from having friends outside your age bracket like not every adult over the age of 50 who wants to be your friend is #out to get you or is a skeezy predator majority of them are like nice and want to hang out #like befriend a guy in his 60s who is handy and you will never have problem again - he wont let me pay him money so i bought him lemon bar #it was a whole ordeal though the way the house is set up i had to get the town to shut off the water to the house for several hours #and then when they did they broke the meter - so they were replacing it while he was fixing the toilet #so i got a new more efficient meter AND a fixed toilet

"trans people are only trans because of oppressive gender roles and if we just got rid of the gender roles nobody would be trans" might sound like a hot take, a thoughtful and compassionate take, but unfortunately it is ice cold and does not understand how being trans works at all. meet and talk to and listen to more trans people - preferably in real life - before making assertions like this, especially if you yourself are not trans.

#if this was true then explain to me why my friend is still a man even though his parents tried to raise him with as few #imposed gender roles as possible #every type of woman under the sun was thrust his way with the insistence that his sex was not a limitation #and a girl can be anything she wants and do and study anything she wants #he saw and appreciated all of that and at the end of the day his kid self was still like #'thats nice and i hear you but i'm growing up into a man. you cant fool me' #this is not every trans experience but it is not an UNcommon trans experience. so this argument just doesnt hold water #also if 'giving into your dysphoria' would have made you want to die #and accepting a gender that's in line w your bio sex makes you feel better #congratulations. you are cis #and therefore you do not get to speak to the trans experience #YOUR experience is valid. projecting your experience onto the trans community is wrong #it reads to me the same as someone who thought they were ace until they realized they weren't #concluding that therefore nobody is really ace and all ace people just *think* they are #and their hidden allosexuality can be 'cured' or jumpstarted by whatever set of circumstances triggered *your* sexuality #(knew someone irl exactly like this and it was deeply frustrating) #or thinking that gay people just need to meet the right person to be in a str8 relationship with bc YOU found someone like that #like no sorry...you're just bi #i could go on #i'm frustrated. i understand where this take comes from but it's really misinformed. you need to listen to trans ppl. start there

Diwali decorations going up yesssss it’s almost time for one of the best festivals of the year.

(The tradies working are blasting Bollywood as they get this done this morning)

#it’s been nice to have street festivals again #2020 and 2021 were so WEIRD #though I’ll never forget seeing leftover lamps set on the fence posts around the local park #people were determined to go light lamps together even if they could only do it in groups of 2-3 in the open air

My life is a clown show and I am but the circus I got in a (very minor barely even) ✨️car accident✨️

#they were edging over the line and i was in the blind spot so i started slowing down and then #they swerved into me and our cars hit #their car is worse off than mine #scapes n small dent vs their more serious denting. still #theyre very nice though i was shaking really badly and they hugged me #and they admitted it was their fault to the report #so all things considered not the worst first car accident ever. but. you know. *screams* #fate is teasing me. hit me with lightning next time or smth asshole (dont actually) #I was way too freaked out to attend class so this is already gonna set me behind when im struggling #status noir #im okey tho im gonna eat a sandwich.

nobody rb this but I'm still collecting tumblr text posts and there are like. obvious gimme posts like "meet me on the thematically relevant rooftop" or "if you're heterosexual why's your narrative foil a man" but I'm MOST proud of the combos where it's like. a little bit niche. a little bit of a reach but a delightful one.

#just thinking thoughts... #stray bird thoughts #I post when I have a set of 10!!! #and I forgot to be on the lookout for nice text posts but I found my memes folder and was like damn. #only 3 memes?? in THIS economy?? no wonder the tag is dead #honestly I don't even though the 'a school trip... is an important event...' #I think just his deadpan look sells the combo #I do think the context makes it better though. like that you know I'm specifically referencing when they were begging to go on the trip

i think what upsets me most, besides the fact that this means no more accordion unless i somehow miraculously get it fixed, is that despite my best efforts to be careful and not mess up, i still managed to make a mistake and fuck it up. despite understanding and appreciating how expensive and valuable and fragile this instrument is, despite my best efforts to keep it safe and in good condition, i still managed to mess up and damage it.

like ... I just mess up. I have something nice, something of value, and I cannot seem to keep it safe and taken care of. things end up ruined. shirts get holes, dresses get stains, electronics get battery acid leaking or cracked, dishes get broken, book pages get torn or bent, trinkets get chipped, instruments are bonked and rattled. i am so terrified of handling anything that things most often just stay sitting in lidded bins so they are safe from carpet beetles and dust and dirt and food and me.

i just feel awful, i dont understand why I can't just keep things safe and in good condition ?? why is this so impossible for me, especially when i care so much ??

#i think this is partially why i dont allow myself any good art supplies #I got a set of charcoals several years ago and I've barely touched them bc im terrified of fucking them up #but if i get smth from the dollar store? that stuff is getting used immediately #bc its cheap and its not very good quality #im not afraid of using things up. im afraid of ruining them #im such a careful person too but i just. always end up fucking up some time #idk what is wrong w me #this sounds so melodramatic but god im tired #i still feel sick that my nice shirt from the 70s got a tiny hole burned into it bc of fire sparks that i didnt know were around #like i just. cannot have nice things idk. i have the absolute worst luck it seems like. or maybe i just am not careful enough #idk how to be any more careful though honestly fhfkdl #like i either keep things stored away safely sealed up or i am exceedingly careful in handling them #and do everything i can think of and find out to make sure nothing happens #and yet ! #i just feel like a massive idiot for this idk fhfmkl silly me to think i could be trusted w this instrument #there are some websites and videos teaching ppl how to fix accordions but... its complex #but i either attempt a fix myself or never play it again bc getting a professional is too expensive #so ... i guess I'll have to take the dive and tinker w it if i want even a chance at playing again #im just terrified I'll break it even further #also i dont think i have access to everything I'll need for fixing it depending on whats gone wrong #so idk if it'll even be possible even if its doable like. i need Tools and leather and felt #i have spare leather scraps but no felt :| #and no special pliers fjfkdl #argh argh im so upset w myself for this #pippen needs 2nd breakfast
