I can't be expected to be normal after hearing the words:

" 'I've seen enough,' he says, 'I know exactly what I want

And it's this life that we've created

Inundated with the fated thought of you

And if you asked me to, if you asked me, I would lose it all

Like petals in a storm

'Cause, darling, I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades, at night when light is fading

Just to let you know, I'm old, waylaid and feels like I am wading

Into carpet burns and carousels

Christ, you'll be the death of me' "

Like??? How am I supposed to exist after this ripped open my ribs and played them like a xylophone

Gay men should NOT be allowed to listen to femcel/ incel music. Mitski and Lana Del Rey are for lonely women who will never know relationships NOT Mfs who whine about oppression while getting sponsored by corporations and let trannies walk all over them

So part 2 is one I've maybe mentioned as well, but it deserves its due. Katakuri & Brulee's relationship we flesh out as a coda to the main story. I mean...it's a brother/sister dynamic built on putting up fronts and the fear of others getting hurt if we don't. Not to mention I absolutely adore the little ripple of the man who can see the future forecasting themes for the upcoming girl out of time. Brulee matters here, but I care a little more about Katakuri. And this isn't like the rest, where I feel Katakuri is a lot like Okiku. No no, Katakuri is more about Luffy's story. Kiku in this equation is more like an exaggerated version of the types of traits that would develop someone like Luffy into the positives he sees in Katakuri. Does that make sense?

Luffy makes that call to fight Katakuri. He wants to learn from him. He does learn to glimpse the future here, by Udon he's very casually using it to conduct Hyo. Making a spectacle of the very dire proceedings, rallying the prisoners with Bugs Bunny antics. The idea to me, regardless of any further implications, is that Kiku & Bakura fall between that as a realistic counterpart. Tact, empathy, considering the potential for collateral damage...those are the real lessons to take from a comic battle about poise and anticipation.

Powerwolf is such a silly band. The face paint. Furry art for album covers. Sacrilegious lyrics but like in a comedy way. What the hell is Resurrection by Erection? Are you 12? And then I watch their live performances and I'm like this is insane. This is the best thing I've ever seen. How do they sound this good every time. I must see this band live before I die. I must see them live now.

#idk their names cause i'm not a stan yet but the vocalist has an insane voice he's so good!!! #classically trained and not afraid to sing opera in this silly little heavy metal band. perfect diction as well #speaks three languages and makes chit chat after every song #their live performances leave me in awe each time they are so good at playing their goofy ass songs live i'm yelling #musical musings #thoughts #powerwolf is like if the band ghost made good music hope that helps #thought filed under things i'm afraid to say out loud (in posts) but i can try to mutter them under my breath (in tags)

ugh when you have the perfect kind of day for chopin's e minor prélude but it's really quite an awful mood to be in so you try as much as possible to avoid it but ugh i think in this state i can play it with emotions that sound quite right... let's hope i can replicate that the next time i practice (i should be sleeping rn)... bc it seems that even if i write down in words what i think the emotions are, they just don't seem to come out right if i'm not currently feeling them myself. and sometimes i don't want to feel them myself. lately i've been putting a block on my emotions when i play because i don't want to feel them. but then i start playing like a robot. which makes me feel worse because this ONE artsy thing i was supposed to be good at, i can't seem to do anymore.

but maybe i should just get better at allowing myself to feel the things i don't want to. imagining the physical and mental sensations of it, the heaviness, the lethargy, the resignation, the shaking with racking sobs, the resolutions made while depressed, just sitting with them, and accepting the feelings and thoughts for what they are. an experience, a sensation, but not my entire being. maybe being able to pick and choose what i feel, both the super negative and the super positive, would be a sign of me getting better at regulating my emotions...

#there's a reason i rarely ever play purely happy songs #i have a hard time embodying that feeling #it's the depressing stuff i put a block on #but i can live with wistful or passionate/romantic yearning or nostalgia so that's my #comfort zone #(and i can't really play stuff that's supposed to sound angry/anxious bc that's just too fast XD) #musical musings #musicblr #introspection #mental health #depression #meditation #digital diary

Almost 9 months into my little Tumblr experiment, I can say I've discovered at least 5 truths for myself:

There are people out there who are way more obsessed with things than I am, or could ever be, and it's okay if I can't keep up.

Fanfic, while the main reason I decided to join Tumblr in the first place, can only take me so far creatively and personally. Even when backed by an excellent playlist. That being said, I've found some lovely people through sharing fanfic, so there is definitely joy in it!

I absolutely love deep-dive explorations of movies and books and music and themes that are meaningful to me. I also appreciate a snappy one-liner, but I've never been good at writing succinctly, so I will continue to admire without emulating. :)

I will likely never be a widely-read writer, and that's okay. People will find and enjoy my work on their own terms, just like I will find and devour the work of others when the time is right.

Like every other social media platform I've tried, it's best if I take Tumblr in moderation. Which is easier said than done on some days.

For anyone who's curious, you can find my master list of fic here. The majority of my efforts have been in the first fandom I discovered online, Harry Potter, but I've also branched out to Velvet Goldmine and The Dark Is Rising, and may keep going if the inspiration strikes again. But paying attention to my mental health needs to come first, and if that means not writing or posting anything for a while, so be it.

Musical Victor Frankenstein might be one of the kinder versions of the character in most ways, but I also see him as one of the scarier/more chilling close-to-novel variants, not only for his outright murder of "the Bride", but also for how he starts raving about how glorious his new creations will be before the humans he'll cut up and reconstruct to make them are dead. That's true even when that human is Justine - a woman he's known for years and whom he knows is innocent.

“

Dear True Love,

I'm a writer without any words,

I'm a story that nobody heard,

When I'm without you.

I am a voice,

I am a voice without any sound,

I'm a treasure map that nobody found,

When I'm without you.

I'm a lantern without any light,

I'm a boxer much too afraid to fight,

When I'm without you.

I am a memory,

A memory bent out of shape,

A childhood already bruised with age,

When I'm without you.

I'm an artist without any paint,

I'm the deal that everyone breaks,

When I'm without you.

I am a whisper,

I'm a secret that nobody keeps,

I'm a dreamer of someone else's dreams,

When I'm without you.

I'm a farewell that came all too soon,

I'm a hand-me-down that dreams of being new,

When I'm without you.

What little that I have to give, I will give it all to you. . .

You're my one true love.

”

Fell in love with Samia from the first moment of my first listen. She has insane vocal range and command, with poetic storytelling and songwriting chops, all while hiding extreme talent behind an "effortlessly chill" vibe. I had this album on repeat a lot last year and was looking for info on her new one (coming out Jan 27) today when I learned...

Her full name is Samia Najimy. As in, daughter of Kathy Najimy. Mary Sanderson. Peggy Hill.

Nepo-baby whatever, my mind is BLOWN

Bittersweet New World Symphony

This has been hiding out in my drafts for over a year now. No foolin, it was gonna be part of the first hiatus special. To be honest I haven't felt ready to finish the thought until now. And it means this post should fall on my birthday, 9/14. That wasn't planned but I'm taking it as a sign. Pudding, Carrot, Katakuri & Brulee. These three are the subjects of Whole Cake Island's phenomenal final note. Chapter 902, End Roll. A personal favorite. Nice little personal stat for you Rhea lore enthusiasts, 902-915 would be the shortest gap on my top chapters list. Both would probably be Top 5.

All three of these characters get a chance to wrap up their arc while the final number plays over it. As a self-contained concept it is just so cool and unique. But within these closures, with the gift of hindsight...see our golden thread? End Roll did not need this to be a favorite chapter, but seeing all of Wano I can't help but notice that undertone tuning up. Especially paired with this like, "Bad End" motif at the end of Totland. Wano for now feels like it had a neutral end, fine but notably incomplete and too focused on the side the people of Wano would care most about.

Kiku will go on to lose a big brother who sacrifices himself for the Straw Hat's sake...but you aren't going to see her break down like Carrot. Too proud like Katakuri but more because of familial pressure like Pudding, who's story involves a close tie to a sibling the Straw Hats already met. Still can't shake that doll motif popping up through Hitetsuyaki. Where this really ties up in a neat little bow though is the framing device:

It's not just that the song carries similar notes as Black Maria's come the Raid. It does, mind you. Because if this man wants to make an actual music motif in a black-and-white comic he can. I care more about the other part. There's this running theme of the pitfalls and dangers of sweetness, sentimentality in the lyrics. A very Wano theme, I've heard it's forbidden before battle. It's really cool to me how something that started out as a killer finale took on a whole new dimension when we saw what it was connecting to. And these are the themes rolling on into Egghead.

They screened the second night of Metallica's Texas shows (starting time: 17:30) in a room right between Oppenheimer (starting time: 17:15) and Barbie (starting time: 17:10) and I thought this was kinda funny. Made me think of that template of tumblr post that's like "not going to see Oppenheimer, not going to see Barbie, but a secret third thing". (and I hope they could hear the bass in both rooms because heavy metal needs to be played loud).
