trigun stampede reaction compilation & thoughts

it is trigun stampede time. <- can't watch new link click ep

funfact: I called Meryl Merelyn for like. the entire watch. I can't hear :)

-

finally watching trigun stampede. i enjoy it a lot so far. sometimes the animation is a bit too overly animated (lol) but that's my only nitpick so far.

Meryl going "!!! journalistic integrityyyy, don't flatter meeee" was so cute, she's very endearing.

I didn't think it'd hook me that well, I just kinda wanted something to distract me a bit.

(insect bomb thingies) JESUS CHRIST

(idv reference) breaking wheel crossover spotted.

i like that the antagonist is just in this wack-ass clothed hood (how is it so big?) and is just.... slowly walking across the desert to the goal, like dude you couldn't get... a vehicle or sth? damn

a funny dude ominously terrifying but kinda funny

nvm absolutely terrifying the hood is still a lil goofy

why's there another kid that has the same hairstyle as the other two as kids......

(Kni obliterating the town) ok but why tho dude

oh hey wolfwood. oh. he ded. epic.

lmao his speech to god with that deadpan voice and wide kneel is sending me he is kinda creepy- i get that hes being nice to this traumatized child. but he comes across. as so creepy lol- "hey kid WANT A LOLIPOP" (this is even weirder in hindsight, like did he know?? he being an actor out here)

well. they ded. rip NO SPLITTING THE PARTY this show is genuinely creepy

???? they were too busy with the flir compliment to notice Roberto just fucking vanishing in front of them?? okay okay i see how it is

Wolfwood: "you fool!!" (proceeds to keep standing in front of the worm too)

HIS NAME IS NIKOLAS???

fellas does it mean sth to take the words of your thematic foil to heart and eat something again?

awww they're both sleeping in the back of the car lol, adorable

Meryl: im dying of a heat stroke Meryl: (in jacket)

Hello Norton from the 4vs1 asymmetrical game Identity V.

ooh it was a flashback :0 smooth ... mAN :( NO THIS DUDE. NOT THIS DOCTOR DUDE

why did his death actually bring the wind back i dont understand... like uh, I get that there's some religious theming going on here; but is the show saying that it's actually true and he was needed as a sacrifice? idk about that one chief. Maybe it's "sth sth natural order restored" but hmmm

Subtitles sure would be nice for this silent movie segment (dub was too incompetent to add subtitles for the text, so i had both sub and dub open and alternated as the segments happened. fun times. tbh it probably wasn't that relevant but oh well)

this artstyle and animation of this orphanage segment is SO NICE

that was adorable and way more "eyo?" than i expected from this show. dude smoked as a toddler too though, goddamn.

i…… what about wolfwood being against the cult until they blackmailed him made blue-hair think killing everyone they can blackmail him with would make him a better devotee. Like I guess he's not genuine now but I feel like killing everything he's trying to protect by helping them, is just.... kinda counterproductive.

Wolfwood: ILL SKIN YOU ALIVE AND PLAY WITH YOUR BONES UNTIL YOU BEG FOR DEATH Vash: 🥺

(the context does make sense but this fucking killed me)

ik that its literal for him bc he doesnt need it but saying he wont eat the food bc its "a waste" just hits different for me.... hng.

im gonna cry bc this "home" segment is so nice and im sure soon ill cry bc its gonna get RIPPED AWAY

LUIDA SURVIVED THAT??? HOW DID SHE SURVIVE THAT- Halleluja.

NO HIS HAIR- UNDO THIS RIGHT NOW. WHAT IS THIS- WHERE'S SOFTIE- epic callback tho (? idk what the relation to the other trigun media is.)

apparently it's sort of an semi-divergent prequel? according to the comments at least..... which..... probably means the hair is gonna stay... *sob*

okay, what is even happening-

goddamn the fucking burning animation on Knives.... they went insane, that looked so good.

I- what is happening-

I'm assuming the name of the newbie Meryl will take on is meaningful to the franchise bc it was framed like that but I just sat there like... "w-who? should i know them?"

where's vash :(

-

On characters and dynamics

So, some stuff I didn't really comment on but the whole plants thing is very cool, lots of interesting philosophical arguments. Even if the whole... scientist shows journalists around thing was a little.... well, damn, aren't you nice, huh? IDK THAT WAS SO RANDOM WHAT DHSAJD-

Also the imagery of Vash having cords to all of the plants sure was something. (not negative)

I... was really confused on what was going on with his vine thingies at the end. I'm pretty sure both him and Knives got 1 wing each with their... tentacle... thingies, but they never really focused on it well (or maybe I was too tired to notice) so I was like "?? what is this noise behind him" for like... 2 minutes.

I think the show peaked with everything except the end for me (like all the plants stuff, like everything going on with the morality aspects and all that)- which might be my lack of trigun investment going into it to be fair. I feel like.... they did set it up but then didn't really deliver on it in a way that felt impactful to me, things were just kinda... happening and people were just kinda... there. Which like, i get this is kinda beyond anyone's capabilities but. YOU KNOW-

Maybe I just don't get it (likely), but I feel like it was kind of set up well, but then also not really resolved with the same "pieces"?

Like uh. we had wolfwood and vash redirect the cannon from the orphanage, which is very similar to vash redirecting the core-space-cube-thingy from the city in the end.

And we also had the whole "reach the person inside" aspect with livio, which then kind of came back with vash. But Meryl... idk, her part in the climax felt kind of unearned or... not as impactful to me? She wasn't really involved in the livio stuff at all.

I'm not saying Wolfwood would have made sense to be there in her stead, not rly, but her being there just didn't really do anything for me. She even already had her moment of not running away in the orphanage arc too. And she also didn't really have a huge impact in the end either, because it was mostly Rem's memory? Which like, you could argue makes my whole problem irrelevant which is fair, but idk. felt strange.

So yeah, I do think that i find it a jarring that the ending kinda had this whole Meryl->Vash and Wolfwood->Meryl rescuing thing going on, when I feel like the show almost exclusively focused on Meryl+Roberto and Vash+Wolfwood.

Sweet Elite Chapter 12

Oh boy... oh boy....... 

We got to pick a route 🤧 and spent most of the time with our crush 🤧 plus Scholar acing the exams 🤧 and new juicy hints to their mysterious background 🤧 with this chapter I feel like this game finally reached its full potential (almost, we only got two group illustrations and some crushes were even missing).

This type of content is the reason why I started playing this game in the first place, a lightharted game about first love, friendship, with a smart MC and a bit of mystery. Yes, it’s not deep, it can get a bit silly sometimes, but it’s part of its charm, not improbable mafia plots and ED drama.

Anyway, I’m really happy about this chapter, I had a big smile on my face the whole time.

I have only one tiny complaint to make...

The jealousy scene (the LI is the one who gets jealous HALLELUJA)... it happens with the second character you have the highest affinity with... and you know who that was for me (on my Axl account)...

if you have read any of my previous reviews you know where this is going....

...........

IT WAS EFFING CLAIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😡🤬😡🤬🤢🤬

The list of grudges I have against her gets longer and longer.

She stalks me, this must be harassment at this point... what do I have to do for her to leave me alone 😭😭 she’s just way too easy to please 😭

Other than that, this chapter gets a 9/10 from me, it would’ve been 10 if we’d had a cute illustration with the crush. I demand a kiss illu next chapter, come on they both want it, they are going to be on vacation for two days, and there is this awkward misunderstanding, jealousy is always a good catalyst... please, pretty please 🙏 they don’t need to get together immediately after the kiss, there’s the holidays right after, they won’t see each other for a while, plenty of chances to throw some other misunderstanding in and keep them single for a while longer.

And of course I’m super curious about Scholar’s family situation. I have my theories about it, but we’ll see...

Too bad I’m afraid it’s going to take a long time for chapter 13 to come out 🥺

[mrs-gauche]

Why try to imagine young Solas when you can always listen to German Solas for free?

Now I'm joking of course (and people seem to hate his German voice anyway), but seriously. He just sounds SO much younger in German, it's always so baffling to me!

Ok, unnecessarily long ramble about my thing with voices and Solas in different languages incoming, so I’ll put it under a cut. (Hope it works, still figuring Tumblr out.) 😌

So, being German, I actually first started playing DA in German.

With games, I usually do so for my first playthroughs, so that I can fully focus on the story first, without ever having to think twice about what is being said (I am confident in my English skills but it does happen with the type of language used in a medieval fantasy RPG like DA). Which also always gets me some disapproval from my brother, because he's one of those people who could never watch a dubbed movie or really anything in German, because he never finds it authentic or natural sounding and I totally understand that.

But I'm also a little voice fanatic in that I'm really interested in any voice acting in general and having to know every voice actor and all that and (oppose to popular opinion as far as I know) I always really liked and in some cases even loved the German voice cast for all the DA games (insert shameless promo here, I even did a compilation of DAI's complete party banter in German on YouTube as well as Solas' party banter specifically, which was a LOT of work, so if you're interested, check it out :D) and let me tell you, from what I've seen, I might be the only person on earth who actually doesn't hate Solas' German voice. lol

But then again, the very first scene of DAI that I ever saw in English was the final dialogue at the end of Trespasser (like, back then I played through the whole thing, only ever knowing the German voices and then after that last scene with Solas, I was so blown away that I was like "Ok, welp, that was so amazing, gotta switch to English now to watch it again!") and my. jaw. dropped. when I heard that voice. Like holy shit, it was almost like meeting a completely different person!

But it's also really interesting for me to see some people claiming that the only thing attracting you to Solas is his voice, when he didn't even have that voice when I first played it? lmao

I mean yes, I completely fell in love with his character all over again after hearing that GDL voice and that performance for the first time, but like.. he was my favorite character even before that, so.. I guess now I can claim to have been mainly drawn to him just because of his character? 😂 Although I do find his German voice to be pleasant too, with a certain softness and warmth to it that he shares with GDL imo and to give credit to the other VAs, it really is nearly impossible to translate that same velvet rythm that GDL has in English into another language, let alone the 'Halleluja' cadence thing.

So I totally understand that his German voice can be really off putting, especially for anyone who is used to English only, because it's just SO much different!

But that's also why I find it so interesting?

Because after comparing most of DA's voices in different languages (because that's what I do in my free time 😅) to me, every other companion sounds either similar in their range or has at least the same "age" to it?

But with Solas, he sounds SO much younger in German, whereas in French his voice is so much deeper. Which makes comparing his German voice to the French one even more baffling, because they are like two polar opposites of one spectrum!

This is especially hilarious to me when you listen to all his banter with Sera, where he tries to teach her about how to lead a rebellion, calls her a child and gives her all this advice, when in German, he sounds just as old as Sera if not even slightly younger than her. lmaooo

So that leaves me kind of wondering why BioWare chose such a different tone of voice in his case, given how big of a role he plays?

Especially since I've seen so many people seemingly confused about Solas' age by just his physical appearance alone.

Maybe I'm really overthinking this, but.. Could that be part of the reason why they would intentionally choose three so different tones of voices in his case? To keep his age intentionally vague and to underline this aspect of, what they described in his concept art as "ageless wisdom"? lol

#solas #kinda personal? #this has been sitting on my mind for so long lol #I'm probably really overanalyzing this lmao #in reality they probably just went 'Yeah just take that guy that voices Leonard in Big Bang Theory' #'I mean he's a huge nerd.. Solas is a huge nerd.. perfect match' lmaooo #and so he was cast

I was tagged by @froschimbrunnen for this Rammstein themed tag game, thanks! :D

Get to know me in 10 questions. Copy and paste the questions if you’re tagged, or if you feel like it.

Rules: There are no rules. Tag whoever you want. Don’t tag anyone. Tag yourself. You don’t have to answer all of the questions. Do what you please. Have fun.

created by: @vapor-stein

1. I’m curious: when did you discover Rammstein? I started listening to them in 2011 but I have known about them ever since Amerika became internationally popular and it was playing in the radio all the time in 2004. And because Finland is very much into metal music, Rammstein is very popular here too. And my dad has liked them a lot for a very long time so he often showed us their music videos even when I wasn’t into R+ yet.

2. Tell me your story. How did you discover them? Like I said, it was in 2011 when I got interested in them. I have never been into metal music and I always felt that Rammstein is way too metal for me too. But my siblings had got into Rammstein a bit before me and I remember doing German homework with my brother and we were listening to music, Rammstein this time. And the song Amerika was playing and I had known about this song for years and I didn’t find it bad, but also not that interesting. But I still started to feel like maybe I should still give it a try? And after the song comes their song Moskau. And that was it. That sounded actually good. And I asked my dad for the files and started to investigate their music myself and here I am now.

3. Favorite song? It’s difficult to say just one when all the albums are slightly different from each other and each album has its own best song. But I have to say that “Mein Land” is actually the first one to come in mind. I have liked it a lot ever since I heard it for the first time and it still is one of those songs that makes me feel as good as it did then. “Links 2-3-4″ is also a favorite, I really love the march rhytm in songs! And I like “Adios” a lot too, it has great drums and it’s a bit faster song too which is not that typical for them but it works really great. I also like “Zerstören” A LOT. And have to mention “Halleluja” and “Feuerräder”, those are great.

4. Least favorite song? Come on. I know you have one. I have more than one, Rammstein is one of those bands that have REALLY good songs but then also each album has several not-so-interesting songs. I guess everything just needs to be in balance :D But I mainly don’t really care about very slow songs so I often skip songs like “Feuer und Wasser” or “Rammstein”, I’ve also never really been into “Wiener Blut” nor “Stein um Stein” etc., you get the point.

5. Favorite album? Hmmm, this is a tough one. Mutter and Rosenrot have probably the biggest amount of songs that I don’t skip, and I also really like Sehnsucht, but then again I also really loved the 2019 album too, as it’s a very rare one because I don’t skip a single song. And I really like it how it sounds so Rammstein yet so different, and most of the songs have these little details that sound like they would be almost like easter eggs or tributes to their older albums, and that’s super interesting, because the songs still sound like completely new songs! So I think I’m gonna go with “Rammstein”.

6. Least favorite album? Probably not hard to count from here that it’s “Herzeleid” :D It also has some really good songs but most of the time is has a lot less melodies than the other albums and I really love music with lots of melody and layers. I think what appeals to me with this album the most is the rhythm and drums.

7. Something that speaks to you in the deepest sense of the word: a lyric? A specific song? I’m so bad with lyrics (with all bands) that I cannot say anything to this. I guess I have gone through all the songs with English translations when I was bored but I legit cannot remember the stories to more than maybe a couple of songs. I guess “Halleluja” is kinda interesing, and “Mein Land” is very simple what comes to lyrics and I kinda like it how the words go together with the sound so I guess I’m gonna say those. But I don’t have any song that would be somewhat special to me, those are the only ones I can remember now and not even that well.

8. Unpopular opinion: about a member? A scandal? Anything? Not really. I am partially a fan and I own t-shirts and all cds and dvds etc. but I’ve never been SO into them that I’d have spent hours on reading about them. I rarely watch any interviews and mostly I know stuff only if I’ve read it from Wikipedia or from their dvds. I don’t think I have even watched all of the documents ON the dvds, but I believe I have at least seen all the concert dvds :D So I don’t think I have any interesting (nor uninteresting) unpopular opinion.

9. Have you ever seen them live? Tell me what you felt. Lol yes, 4 times so far (all here in Finland). In 2013, 2016, 2017 and 2019 :D The first three were all festivals. And what I felt? Well, for starters: I always feel like dying because of the bass. They almost always (except for last year) start the concerts with the bass going up so slowly you barely notice it, then you just feel like everything is shaking and I start to panic has my heart gone crazy and then I realize it’s just the GROUND shaking. And the 2019 one was even worse and I literally felt like my head was gonna explode because they legit did all they could at making it as loud as possible, I was wearing earplugs but the bass was SO FUCKING LOUD that I’m surprised the stadium even stands anymore. The whole ground was shaking and I’m sure the sound waves kept crashing into the walls and all and making it all shake even more. So it feels very uncomfortable at first and I’d say you don’t really get used to it ever, especially not when being a highly sensitive person. That is actually the worst part for me and I wonder every time why did I go there again when it always makes me feel like I’m dying. Yet I always do that. I guess I’m just stupid.

Anyway, can’t really see a lot because I’m short and there’s so many people always (over 30 000 people at the stadium last year, that’s the same amount of people that live in my town alone o_o), but I still think it’s worth it. Especially last year it was pretty good spot after all because the light show was incredible and if you stand in the front, you definitely are not going to see all that! And the fire is always very interesting because I’m terrified of fire, but somehow in their show it’s fascinating. And fire is such a powerful element because no matter how far you’d be from it, you can still feel the warmth within seconds. The show itself is also incredible, and I cannot wait for them to release this show on dvd so that I’ll actually see the show happening on the stage too, not just the light and fire show :D

10. Do you play any instruments? If you do, can you play any song by them? No I don’t, I used to play piano as a kid but then I stopped for whatever reasons. So no, I can’t play any songs from them, tho if I ever had an electric piano, maybe I could try something. But I’m the most beginner as it gets since I was ~8 when I played and stopped playing the piano.

I think I’m gonna tag @cupcakecurl, if you want to do this one! :)

Why is Halleluja playing in my house

[estelanel]

April 8: Sergei Rachmaninoff - Blessed Is The Man (Vesper No. 3)

This is the recording I listened to

So, apparently, choral church music is the exact thing I need in my current state of mind. I keep listening to Brahms’ requiem lately, and now this. It’s a classic four-part choir, if I hear it correctly (and I also verified through googling), and also a cappella, without any instruments, voices only. There’s always something about vocal church music that makes it immediately clear that this needs to be sung in a church. (Listen, church music is complicated, it has its own scales and shit, and I know next to nothing about it. I just know that with about 95% accuracy I can hear when a piece was composed to be played or sung in a church, even when it’s in Russian and I understand exactly nothing about the text.)

Listening to pieces like this, I understand, I really, fully understand why sometimes prayers just have to be sung. I can stand there and say, “blessed is the man, who walks not in the counsel of the wicked” and contemplate on it, and I will surely manage to get some connection out of it. But only the moment I sing it or hear it sung, it really resonates. I don’t know what it is about this composition, but it’s so peaceful and gentle, and right now it feels like the most comforting thing I could probably have listened to today. In my third or fourth time listening I opened the text with the English translation to read along, and it’s incredible how Rachmaninoff, both subtlely and very openly, reflects the words in the music. He uses the full choir during the Halleluja parts, then takes away the bass and sopranos and basically just lets the middle voices sing the actual text of the prayer. Almost like the question-response pattern when in mass the pastor says the prayer and the community responds the Halleluja (I apologize, I have no clue of English church vocabulary XD). Then he goes all in during “Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit”, you know. As one should. From there to the end the whole choir continues to sing, but gets continually softer, and then you get that last chord with the bass note that gets you right in the soul.

Approaching Easter, but also now with everything happening, I somehow find reassurance and consolation with this kind of music, although I’m at best moderately religious. I’m definitely a lot calmer now than I was earlier.

❝ It’s nice that smile ❞

Plot: You’re Yoongi’s girlfriend but you’re scarier than him, more cold and distant but a little marshmallow inside. One day BTS see you crying because your grandma, who was suffering of amnesia, finally remembered you. 

Pairing: Yoongi x Reader x BTS

Words count: 2,9k+

Warning: None 

For anon, I hope you like it cutie! - M.  P.S. I hope you’re fine now. ♥

gifs aren’t mine, credits to the owner! 

"Darling, can you bring this to grandma?"  

The sweet voice of your mother forced you to lift your gaze, biting the inside of your cheek for keeping you from sending her to the devil.  

Not that you hated your mother, she was the most important woman in your life, but she knew how much your grandmother's condition would hurt you. You were tied to the old woman by a bond that couldn't be explained and every time her blank gaze was resting on you, you could feel the pain hit you repeatedly and tears constantly pinching your orbs.  

"All right." You murmured, taking the dish that she was giving you.  

Your brother gave you a little smile of encouragement and with a slow pace, you headed to the room where your grandmother was resting, feeling your heart beating more and more violently and the dish shaking in your hands.  

You weren't sure you could do it, now that condition was leading you to exhaustion and even the failure to really talk to someone, the fail to express to the best of your emotions, provoked further concern and pain to your heart already too bent and broken.  

Quietly you opened the door and on tiptoe, you approached the king sized bed that filled almost completely the room. She was asleep and you didn't want to wake her up because selfish you wanted to be able to lay the pot on the nightstand and run away.  

But her eyes opened and rested on you, so you stuck near the nightstand and watched her remain silent. The doctors explained that abrupt and sudden movements could cause further problems for people in those conditions.  

"Hello dear."  

A knot at the throat prevented you from saying something, but your eyes opened wide as the woman in front of you gave you a little smile. Maybe that was the day? Your heart began to beat even more violently than a few moments earlier, while hope began to flow into you rising to monstrous levels.  

"Who are you? What's your name, darling? "  

Your little bubble of hope exploded, an explosion so strong as to take your breath away and the tears began spontaneously to slip on your cheeks, falling on your mouth and letting you grind your nose to the brackish taste that they left on your soft lips.  

"I-I am... I brought you something to eat, you have to feed yourself, mh? " You couldn't stutter, while your lips bent into a small and fake smile.  

Your eyes were filled with disappointment and especially a sense of abandonment. Your grandmother hadn't recognized you for the umpteenth time and your world had collapsed a little more.  

~ ~

"Taehyung leaves immediately Jungkook, you're choking him." Seokjin was furious, obviously, he was just pretending to be, while trying to separate the two boys who continued undeterred to do wrestling in the living room.  

You were sitting on Yoongi's bed, with the door open and a beautiful view on the show that the eldest was trying to stop, while at your side your boyfriend quickly beat his fingers on the keyboard of his laptop completely immersed in his world.  

Your expression was flat, like every time you showed yourself outside the house walls. Only Yoongi was able, now much more than before, to penetrate that armor that you used as protection. You were similar, similar fears, similar thoughts, similar problems. And similar behaviors so understand what you felt and how you were actually had never been difficult for him.  

With a lazy move you get up from the bed and out of the room, you noticed Jimin's gaze on you and inside you giggled just because he looked like a frightened puppy. You were aware of what the other six thought about you, how they always avoided staying in the same room with you alone, how they avoided arguing with you.  

You were the Yoongi's female version, just a thousand times worse.  

"Taehyung, I didn't know you had some inclination." You teased him, noticing the position of Taehyung on a now breathless Jungkook, winking at him and slipping undisturbed towards the kitchen.  

The two immediately sat on the couch, red in their face and Seokjin lifted his arms to heaven shouting a "Halleluja" for now the resolved "fight" between the two youngest of "home".  

"Hello y/n!!!" You were greeted by an enthusiastically Hoseok, the only one who really tried in every way to approach you; "Today you look more beautiful than usual! Changed hairstyle? Makeup? Did you buy new clothes? "  

"If I answer you yes to your every question, you'll disappear?"  

"Obvious!"  

You pinched the base of your nose with the fingertips of the thumb and forefinger, melting inside for the sweetness and tenacity with which that little sunshine always tried to make you open. But your gaze, when you finally lifted it out of the bottle you were squeezing, was still flat and devoid of expression.  

Cold and aloof, but not even that enough to turn off Hoseok's huge and warm smile.  

"Yes, Hobi." You whispered, avoiding to smile.  

"You are beautiful!"  

He hugged you, albeit a quick and reckless hug, reaching than the rest of the group in the living room. A little smile stroked your lips, but immediately you return to bend your lips in a straight line without emotion.  

"Y/N!!!! WILL YOU STOP FOR DINNER??"  

A little mochi leaned his chin on your shoulder, he could afford it because you were lower than him and he was very happy, catching you by surprise.  

Jimin had never even tried to hug you or shake your hand, that sudden closeness will totally shake you. You just turned your face towards him, noticing the small dimples on his cheeks and the sweetness that leaked from those big dark eyes lightly covered by too long bangs.  

"Who gave you permission to rest your chin on my shoulder?"  

"Yoongi Hyung!"  

"What the heck is with you guys today? You seem happier than normal and.. Expansive. "  

"C'mon Y/N! I just want to be your friend! I don't know practically anything about you and I've known you for a year and a half! " He snorted like a five-year-old boy, pouting his cheeks without moving an inch from his position. "Even if you're cold, I'm sure underneath you're a marshmallow!"  

It was hard to say no to that expression. It was hard to say no to Jimin, in fact, it was practically impossible. But you couldn't break down those walls that your personality had built over the years. You were afraid to show who you were practically since forever.  

"Don't you think it's because I don't want you to know me?" You whispered coldly and a pinch of disappointment flashed in his eyes, as he nodded just and walked away from you. "I don't like to share Jimin, don't make it a personal matter."  

"But you know all about me.."  

"Because, you, without noticing, are really talkative.. And I don't know how good it's for you. " You emphasize, even more coldly than just before, even though your subconscious continues to yell at you to apologize.  

"At least Yoongi Hyung is kind with me, I don't understand why you must be so cold, Y/N."  

And with those words just whispered he turned, giving his shoulders and you cursed yourself immediately for hurting such a good and sweet person as Jimin.  

You gripped his wrist, stopping him and back hugging him for a matter of seconds. You felt him froze into your arms, holding his breath and this made you smile slightly. You weren't good with words, but Jimin was so caring that hurting him was the last thing you wanted.  

You loosened the hug after a few moments, running away from the kitchen with a fast peace without having caught the delicate smile that Jimin's soft lips had given you at that moment.  

"I thought you had disappeared in the kitchen."  

"Well back in the world of the living.." You whispered once you entered the room, throwing yourself on the bed next to him and resting your head against his chest staring at the ceiling.  

The episode of the day before came back forcefully to visit you and immediately a knot formed in your throat, which although with various attempts couldn't dissolve. Sighing you closed your eyes and you'd better settle against his chest, feeling his arm surround your shoulders and his fingers start stroking your neck and playing with a lock of your hair.  

"Still nothing..?" He asked you, tearing you off from your thoughts.  

With a small nod of denial, you smiled at him, albeit a sad smile; "She will come back sooner or later, the doctors are hopeful.. And so do I. "  

~ ~

"I'm home!"  

Your scream echoed in the walls of your house, but it wasn't greeted by anyone. Checking the wrist watch you understood that everyone was absent because at work or at school. And this annoyed you because no one was left with grandma. Resting your purse on the hanger you walked down the hall to his room and you didn't even bother to knock,  you were sure that she was doing her usual afternoon nap at that time.  

But once you get into the room, you'd find that she was awake so you stuck on the door watching her quietly.  

"Sorry.. I-I thought you were sleeping.. "  

"Why?"  

"You u-usually sleep at this hour.."  

"Why don't you call me grandma?" She inquired and you didn't immediately get the meaning of her words.  

"Because you still don't recog-- W-what did you say..?"  

Your heart made a flip and then began a violent race, so strong as to be on the verge of exploding, while with uncertain steps you began to approach the bed. And for the first time, you voluntarily laid your gaze on her, letting your eyes meet.  

The tears had, like two days before, started to flow quickly along your face and you didn't even bother to wipe them, it wasn't the time. You wanted to make sure you heard well, that you really understood. You wanted to make sure it wasn't just a dream.  

"From what I remember, miss, I'm still your grandmother." She mumbled with gruff tone, her gruff tone. What actually hid an infinite sweetness, exactly like you.  

"G-Grandma.."  

"Yes my darling and you are my beautiful Y/N."  

"G-G-grandma.."  

Without worrying about hurting her, you threw yourself on the bed and into her arms. You hid your face against her neck, crying like a little girl and letting the hiccups shake you from head to toe. Her arms, immediately, surrounded around your shoulders and wrapped you in that kind of hugs that could always make you feel safe.  

"Y-You.. A-are you..s-sorry.. "  

"You've the right to cry my sweetie, sorry if I took so long."  

"Y-You come back.. I o-only care about this. "  

 ~ ~

You had to run away from home. You needed fresh air, to make sure that what had just happened wasn't just a dream. You waited patiently for your parents to come home, hugging them vehemently as soon as they had stepped into the old woman's room.  

You hadn't stopped for a second to cry, and your red and swallow eyes were the glaring evidence.  

The time passed so fast that the darkness of the evening now surrounded you and without realizing you had found yourself in front of the boys' dorm. But they weren't there, everything was too quiet and the lights completely turned off. But you had no strength to move another step, so quietly you let yourself slip against the wall and hide your face in your arms, starting to cry quietly.  

Those tears were the accumulation of those months, months spent to keep a flat face but to suffer inside. And you came to a limit that was practically impossible to ignore. Even the bystanders' glazes, some even stopped to ask you if you were hurt, prevented you from stopping the irrepressible crying that accompanied you for hours.  

"What the heck..?" The manager's voice traveled the vehicle, reaching the ears of all seven, who immediately tried to understand why he had just cursed, albeit not too heavily.  

Yoongi slightly lowered the darkened window, trying to grasp what had caught the attention of his manager and a seated figure on the ground, curved on itself and clearly trembling leaped into his eyes.  

And the person on the ground wore his own shirt, which was always wide on her, which made he immediately understand who she was.  

"Fuck, Stop the van. Stop it! " He screamed by making jump all present, without even waiting for the vehicle to stop completely. He jumped down and despite his usual laziness, he ran to the seated figure that now even the others could see.  

"But it's Y/N."  Jimin murmured, running immediately behind his own hyung followed by all the others.  

The panic had seized Yoongi as soon as he realized that that trembling figure was you and threw on his knees next to you, trying to lift your face but without any results.  

Your muffled moans tore his heart, making him think of the worst scenario.  

"Y/N.. Tell me, what the heck is going on? " He asked frightened, while the figures of the other six surrounded you without letting you feel suffocated. You ignored the gentle protests of your boyfriend's hands on your arms, continuing to keep your face hidden against forearms and letting your broken and whiny voice be the only thing they could hear.  

"Fuck Y/N, tell me something.."  

"But is it really her..?" A curious Jungkook asked, observing before Seokjin and then Namjoon, completely taken aback by that desperate weeping.  

Taehyung said nothing, too shocked by that scene, but simply knelt and began to caress your hair gently. Although he had always been intimidated by your presence, seeing you in those conditions literally broke his heart.  

"Y/N If you don't tell me what happened I swear I'm going to throw it out with strength." Yoongi hissed between his teeth, more worried than really angry, grasping you wrists albeit gently and trying for the umpteenth time to dissolve that grip of yours and raise your face.  

Even Jimin knelt next to Taehyung, but starting to caress your forearm or better what he could touch since your face was pressed against it, murmuring sweet words that made you cry even more softly.  

"So also the coldest and detached person--"  

"Shut up Namjoon.. She isn't as you think."  

"I know Hyung, was what I was trying to say." The leader hummed with sweetness, resting a hand on his shoulder trying to reassure him because he seldom saw his hyung so worried.  

"I-I.. S-sorry.. " You stuttered, for the first time you felt how your voice was hoarse, trying at least to hold the hiccups into your throat.  

Lifting your face, immediately Yoongi squeezed it between his venous hands and with the fingertips of the thumbs wiped that mess the tears had left on your cheeks. The fear leaked from every stretch of his face and you felt guilty for provoking her because you imagined what he was thinking at that moment.  

Then your gaze rested on the other six, Taehyung and Jimin still kneeling that pampered you as if it were the most normal thing in the world while those still standing there kept smiling, feeling much less intimidated now. The one who they always believed as a colder person than ice actually had feelings like even other humans in the world.  

"Can you explain what the hell is going on?" Your boyfriend asked in a sweet tone, capturing your attention again.  

"G-Grandma.." You said without being able to formulate anything else, your throat too dry from crying continuously.  

"What...? She's fine, isn't she? "  

"Is your grandmother sick?" Taehyung inquired, caring even more and feeling closer to you, at least it was what you noticed observing his gaze.  

"Y/N say something, damn it!" Yoongi screamed, immediately receiving a slap behind his nape from Seokjin that ordered quietly to remain calm.  

In silence, still shaken by the weeping just interrupted, you approached your boyfriend and surrounded his hips with your arms, braiding your hands against his back. He didn't wait a single moment to tie you in his embrace, rocking you slowly and gently.  

Those arms were capable, always, to relieve any pain and even the delicate touch of the other two had been able to comfort you at a similar time.  

"Y/N.. If you feel uncomfortable talking because we're here, we can go away. " Both Seokjin and Hoseok murmured that phrase with sweetness, without wanting to be too pushy.  

But you lifted your gaze, looking them and after a year and a half your face brightened, showing a radiant smile even though covered by the little tears that still resided on your lips.  

They were shocked, shocked by such a sweetness in the gaze of that person they always saw so cold and distant.  

"No guys.. You are like a second family, even if I suck to prove it. And my grandmother was sick.. But now it's all gone, she's fine." Your faint voice reached their ears, almost a soft sound for all seven, while Yoongi increased the grip on you and kept lulling you with a delicacy that reserved only for you.  

"It's nice that smile, Y/N." Jimin pointed out, making the other five nodding; "You should wear it more often."  

"I will do Jimin, promised."

10 questions

I got tagged by eulaliasims. Thanks!

1. If you like to decorate in the Sims, what’s your favorite type of room to do? If you don’t, how do you handle decorating instead? Bare minimum? Downloading furnished lots?

Oh god, I’m terrible at decorating. I mean, I can make it look tolerable, but I’ll never be the queen of clutter or sth like that. So yeah, I’m always happy when I find decorated/partially furnished (I’m very particular about the amount of CC in my game- I prefer maxis-addons to everything else) lots, so I have at least some guidelines on what to do. I think I got better over the last few month- thanks to the quartertile cheat (how could I play this game for so long without knowing about it!).

2. Do you like to listen to anything like music or podcasts when you play?

I usually have my television running in the background. German TV offers plenty of trash to listen to while simming.

3. What made you choose your first expansion pack for the game (or games, if you play more than one iteration of the Sims)?

Ehm... I ‘borrowed’ the base game from a friend- long story- and had to get one expansion pack so I could play the game on my PC (she understandably wanted it back at some point). I think I chose Nightlife because... vampires? Downtown? It was probably the only expansion pack available at the department store. I loved it and played the game for 1 year on our old crappy family PC with just the base game plus Nightlife installed. Couple that with the fact that I didn’t know about CC back then and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen enough NL clothes for a lifetime.

4.  What’s your favorite kind of weather?

Cloudy (but not so cloudy that you can’t see the sky) with lots of indirect sunlight and a light breeze. Around 22°C/71°F. 

5. What’s the first ever music album you remember buying?

That I personally bought or that someone got for me? A ‘Tokio Hotel’ cd (2005) if you meant the latter (they were really popular back then and my cool American friend was a huge fan, thereby little primary school me was, too), and if you mean the first album I ever bought,.. um, ITunes says that it was ‘The Lion King- Original Broadway Cast’ in 2013 (holy shit!). I’m more of a single person (that would be some Black Eyed Peas song back when I got my first IPod in 2009).

6. Do you prefer default townies, custom townies, or no townies at all? (Or maybe default and custom?)

Depends. If I were to play a pre-made neighbourhood, I’d prefer the townies shipped with it (or the flattened version- only the relevant ones). If I play a small self-made hood, no townies at all, and if I feel funny, I’ll just play the townies XD.

7. Why is your favorite book your favorite?

Uff... I’d call this one my all time favorite book. It’s got everything: A ‘murder mystery’, a huge family secret (I’m a sucker for that), family trees (!), a charismatic protagonist and just the right amount of fantasy. Runner up: that one, for nostalgia and the ‘lore’.

8. What’s the latest song/jingle to get stuck in your head?

‘Halleluja’ in its various iterations. My father got a karaoke app and sent his recording to me... thankfully, I’ve got the Cohen version stuck in my head. Also, ‘Hellfire’ from the ‘Hunchback of Notre Dame’. One of the most underrated villain songs. They are currently battling each other in my head, trying to get the upper hand.

9. What object (CC or not) do you use the most in your game?

Hm... that’s a tough one. You know what? It’s that lamp. That f*cking lamp. You know which one. That one that’s just... a lamp. Probably shipped with the basegame. Not fancy, not kitschy, cheap enough to staff every room with it. It’s probably that one.

10. How do you pick names for your sims?

I’m a name freak (go on, ask my about 16. century naming traditions in Northern Germany!), so, most of the time I already have a name stuck in my head when the Sim has his/her baby. Other times, I make one up on the spot. In certain situations (when I want a theme, or it is a premade family, or there are already a lot of siblings and I run out of ideas) I’ll use a name generator (they are pretty nifty. There are some that let you type in the siblings’ names and give you matching ones! It’s heaven to me!).

Thank you again, I had a blast. Since my internet connection crashed three times while I answered this (I’m literally living in a metropolis, why is my internet so shitty?!), I won’t tag anyone and won’t think up new questions (sorry). So it’s kind of open-house: if you feel like doing this “10 questions tag”, do it, just use eulaliasims’ questions or other ones you saw on the internet! Have fun!

Let’s hope I’ll be able to post this!

Stardate 47634.44 2017-02-25 Mappsie’s Log * The bathroom is finished, halleluja! And it looks really nice :) What I really don’t understand, though, is why the toilet was installed even further into the room. It's a very small “tubey” room, and now I could literally take a bite out of the sink… Ah well, but I don't care, because: * We finally signed the contract for the new apartment. Much later than planned, so things are going to be even more stressful…. The new apartment might be a downgrade concerning living space. But we will have a usable balcony, walls that don't crumble because they're old, and it enhances my reach of different stores and flexibility of going shopping. * Sunday will be Suckday because our landlord is going to chase potential new tenants through what still is our personal space, starting at 3 pm, in half hour intervals, the last ones dropping in at 6 pm… Meh. Same game the Sunday after. * However, I had some time to play and finished ME1, first with Tali and Liara, because they’re the best fitting story wise, with Tali’s concern with the geth and Liara’s study of the protheans. But I missed a certain turian the whole time, so I replayed with Tali and Garrus starting at Ilos. What I really like is that when you’re done with the game - you’re done with the game. No going back to do tedious side quests or complete stupid collections. I also had some time to start with ME2. And by the bright core of the galaxy, what a start it was! So many questions! And how shiny it is! And Garrus! Oh sweet Garrus! Give me all the blankets to wrap him in! However, I think it's ridiculous that I have to start Steam to start Origin to start the game to be able to make screenshots… wtf? Or did I miss anything? I’ll spam post some pics later 😂😂

For the Queen ask, Brian and Lover Boy please :)

Hi anon! Thanks for the ask 🥰💕

BRIAN: Do you play any musical instruments?

Unfortunately, I don’t... But this summer I started learning some songs on the piano (Bohemian Rhapsody, Halleluja, Shallow) but I still pretty much suck at it lol cause I never actually studied piano 🙈 I have all the intention to continue though 😏

LOVERBOY: If you can marry anyone you desire, who would it be and why?

Ahhh that’s a hard question... I suppose, if my time machine worked, I’d very much like to go back to 1975 and marry that cutie pie that is John Deaky Deacon. But, since I’m stuck in this timeline, I guess I have to say Joseph Francis Mazzello III. I don’t even know where to begin explaining to you why. I guess he just seems like the funniest and sweetest guy... and besides, have you seen him?

Green Smoothies vs Juicing For Psoriasis

https://healthandfitnessrecipes.com/?p=4090

Green Smoothies vs Juicing For Psoriasis

The following post is an introductory piece surrounding juicing for psoriasis, or more specifically the benefits of green smoothies for psoriasis and not just juicing.

I first started raw vegetable juicing for my psoriasis in 2009 when I was living in Dublin, Ireland. At the time I actually didn’t even know the difference between juicing versus green smoothies but I did forecast that putting healthy vegetables into my daily diet would surely have a positive effect on my psoriasis.

For anyone else who does not know the difference between juicing and smoothies, basically smoothies are healthier for you as they contain the whole vegetable and fruit, pulp and all, whereas juicing just contains, yes you guessed it, juice from the vegetables and fruit.

If you juice for psoriasis, you are missing out on all the benefits of the pulp as that is where all the fibre is stored. Juice also has higher sugar content, therefore a possible trigger for your psoriasis. People with psoriasis need as much fibre in their diet as possible to ensure swift elimination of waste through your intestines.

My Personal Raw Veggie Shakes Experiment

As you can see from my beating psoriasis trifecta post, I finally decided to experiment with dietary changes in 2009 in Dublin to see if my psoriasis would improve (pre-smart psoriasis diet website).

I started making green smoothies or raw vegetable shakes every day and I would store the smoothies in old jam jars in the fridge and drink these juices with pulp intact 3 times per day (I didn’t even know at that time that you should really consume smoothies as soon as possible after preparation to get the best health benefits).

I also cut out alcohol and cigarettes as well during this period.

The results were astonishing.

I eliminated all psoriasis on my face, scalp and nails. I 99% cleared all psoriasis from my hands.

This was a HUGE achievement for me as I had daily meetings at work where I always felt insecure about my appearance and now no one could tell I had psoriasis.

I still had approx 25% coverage on my body and legs, but all skin visible to the public was clear! Halleluja!

I was now strutting into work in the mornings with my new found confidence!

Remember this was still before I figured out my smart psoriasis diet plan but it was the genesis of it.

Sidenote: If only I checked my Vitamin D levels then, I am 100% positive I would have improved my psoriasis even more.

I even had some of my male friends comment on how healthy and younger I was looking. To get a compliment about your appearance from one Irish man to another Irish man is basically unheard of!

So before you leave thinking green smoothies are a fad, I urge you to try it out for 30 days, just once per day, and see how it will positively affect your life and your psoriasis.

Psoriasis, Juicing & Smoothies Introduction

As everyone who reads this blog knows by now, psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that is characterized by dry, scaly skin, and red patches with a distinct border between the normal skin and the patch. These patches may appear as big or small spots covering a large area of your body.

Fortunately, you can improve this condition by observing a healthy lifestyle that should include daily green smoothies/raw veggie juicing for psoriasis and proper skin care.

While there is still little scientific research conducted to prove the effect of green smoothies or juicing on psoriasis, the benefits of freshly prepared green juices (with pulp included) cannot be overemphasized.

Juice with pulp provides you with all the nutrients you need, including chlorophyll, Vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients putting minute stress on your digestive tract as they are just fluids and fibre.

According to a review of scientific literature published in 2010, the association between nutritional deficiencies and skin disorders is well established.

The Importance Of A Healthy Diet For Psoriasis

The excessive toxins in your bloodstreams try to escape your body through the skin when your liver and kidney fail to filter them appropriately. This often results in skin disorders and disruptions like psoriasis.

Skin diseases are a warning sign that your body is not getting rid of toxins as it should. However, with proper healthy diet and lifestyle change, you may get rid of skin conditions like Psoriasis.

Green juices and smoothies are some of the best healing foods that can help put your body back to balance. The juices help to remove the unwanted toxins, microbes, and parasites from your body, to repair your cells, nourish and heal them.

What Is The Difference Between Juices And Smoothies?

The main difference between smoothies and juices is the mode of preparation. Smoothies are prepared by blending the ingredients without removing or separating the ingredients. On the other hand, juicing involves the separation of juice from the pulp. Other differences include;

• Blending (Smoothies)

Smoothies have a lot of benefits to the human body, including the elimination of toxins, improving digestive health, fostering weight loss, facilitating nutrient absorption and improving your overall digestive health.

Their main downside is that they are not smooth to the taste when compared to juicing. However, thankfully we have found some tasty recipes which makes Smoothies taste more like a treat than a medicine!

• Juicing

Proponents of juicing claim that the nutrients are better faster when you drink freshly squeezed vegetable and fruit juices since there is no need for digestion. Juices are also more pleasant and have a better taste than most smoothies.

The biggest disadvantage of juicing is that they eliminate the pulp, which is an essential source of fiber. Also, juicing machines are costly, and they lead to a lot of wastage.

At Smart Psoriasis Diet, I fully recommend Green Smoothies for psoriasis over juicing. The fibre is essential for faster results and too much juicing with the wrong ratio of vegetables to fruit can hinder your progress and not help it. Juicing in moderation is absolutely fine, but the added benefit of fibre from whole foods such as vegetables and fruit is just too good to ignore or avoid.

Why Are Green Smoothies Suitable For Psoriasis Sufferers?

They are packed with vitamins, nutrients and fibre.

These juices provide all the nutrients that you need, including vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. The number of vitamins and nutrients you will get from each drink will depend on the fruits and vegetables you choose for your Juice. If you opt for a green smoothie, you will get to benefit from all the fiber generated from your preferred fruit/ vegetable.

Antioxidants

Leafy vegetables and fruits are packed with high levels of natural antioxidants due to the high phytonutrients that they contain. Adding green smoothies and juices into your diet helps to rid of the free radicals which cause inflammation in your skin. They also help prevent the formation of leukotrienes which worsens the symptoms of psoriasis.

They help to build a strong immune system

A good number of people with psoriasis have a weakened immune system. Green juices and smoothies provide vital nutrients and fiber and play a significant role in building your body’s immune system. Incorporating green smoothies and natural juices can, therefore, go a long way in easing your psoriasis.

Alkalinity

Some studies claim that increasing the pH levels in your body can help ease the symptoms of psoriasis significantly. For your body to operate optimally, it needs to be moderately alkaline. Usually, acidic toxins in your body created as a result of a poor diet are expelled by your kidney. When their levels increase, they build up in your skin, thereby aggravating psoriasis and other skin conditions.

Green smoothies are categorized as strong alkalizing foods due to their high mineral content. Whenever you increase the intake of green smoothies, you help your body to reduce the acidity levels in your skin. In turn, your skin begins to repair itself, thereby reducing the symptoms of psoriasis.

Chlorophyll

Green smoothies are rich in chlorophyll content. Chlorophyll offers numerous health benefits that can help manage psoriasis. Some of these benefits include the elimination of free radicals and toxins, encouraging healthy skin, boosting immunity, balancing body pH, as well as balancing your hormones.

Fibre (Soluble and Insoluble)

It is actually because your body can’t digest fibre that it plays such an important part in digestion. Soluble fiber, like that found in cucumbers, blueberries, beans, and nuts, dissolves into a gel-like texture, helping to slow down your digestion. This helps you to feel full longer and is one reason why fibre may help with weight control.

Soluble fibre as found in blueberries and cucumbers dissolve into a gel like substance (think of porridge made with water) which actually slows down your digestion, making you feel fuller for longer.

On the other hand insoluble fibre which can be found in all your favourite dark leafy green vegetables as well as carrots and celery, does not dissolve, therefore adding extra bulk to your stool. This allows the food to be eliminated in a healthy and efficient manner and is vital for your gut health, which we know is linked to autoimmune disorders.

Add Green Smoothies and Raw Vegetable Juicing (With Pulp) To Your Diet

If your body has a blockage, it may use the skin to push out the built-up toxins. This may result in a host of skin problems ranging from acne to psoriasis. Adding green smoothies to your diet cleanses your body, thereby helping your kidney and liver work well again.

They also improve your immune system so that your body can fight off any imbalances that may be speeding up the generation of skin.

When making your juices or smoothies, it is highly recommended that you adopt more vegetables and fewer fruits. This is because most people with Psoriasis already have an underlying yeast infection and drinking sugar-rich juices with a lot of fruits can flare up the Candida.

You should also avoid the nightshade family of vegetables like tomatoes, white and red potatoes, capsicum, peppers, and tobacco for a minimum of 60 days and then reintroduce slowly into your diet to gauge the reaction.

Adding more vegetables to your juice increases your anti-oxidant levels. Additionally, it is one of the easiest ways of providing mega-doses of powerful minerals, vitamins and living enzymes to your body.

When preparing smoothies or juicing for psoriasis, it is highly recommended that you drink the juice while still fresh since every minute it sits, the nutrients oxidize and get lost for good.
