Eurovision Song Contest 2022: Top 10

#eurovision #eurovision 2022 #esc #esc 2022 #thinking about the one of you who was bitching in tags about my graphic design in last year's top 10 post #I do agree that the dash made it look like the points were negative #but the semi transparent text that is hard to read is a Choice and I am sticking to it #hope you had a nice time

i think the reason why im so drawn to spirit tracks and pkmn scarvi is that having the legendary/princess as a companion rather than a goal that marks the games completion makes me feel satisfied the way i would after helping a friend

my brother always teases me about how I still havent finished botw after almost 7 years bc "id rather be out picking flowers" which i wont say is untrue. and yes i know Zeldas been holding off ganon for 100 years, yes i can get some sort of idea what her relationship with link was like by recalling memories and going through her diary. ive always loved botw for its unique storytelling and setting which makes it stand out, because it lets you get to know who you're saving.

but because theyre memories, it only works if theres something for the player to investigate that already happened. its retroactive (but effective nonetheless)

on the other hand, spirit tracks does something similar but instead of having the player try to piece together memories and interpret them as a spectator, you actually have an opportunity to get to know zelda yourself by talking to her and working together. besides making it a gameplay mechanic, giving the player control over how they interact with zelda makes it so much more personable.

and I find that making the goal feel personal instead of an obligation gives me more of a reason to work towards it. I know what kind of person botw zelda was but as the player, shes still very much a stranger to me. but spirit tracks zelda? thats my friend!!!! she invited me to go to the beach after we get her body back!!! i dont want to whip her to make her move faster thats mean :(

you know how hostage negotiators are trained to introduce themselves and get to know the person theyre negotiating with because its harder to hurt someone when you know what their favorite food is? its kinda like that, because it feels like im helping a friend than being told or led to do smth

and although i havent played scarvi myself, i feel an attachment to koraidon and miraidon even just watching playthrough clips because its like!! thats my weird scaly dog!! it loves sandwiches and we're friends!!! you know!!!!!!

#i dont normally write long posts like this but i think ive been trying to put this into words for a long time and it finally happened #my cloth mother spirit tracks zelda and my wire mother lttp zelda #ACTUALLY ANOTHER THING when i was a kid i always felt guilty when i had to catch the legendary at the end of the game #because to me it was like 'i know none of this is real but if i capture you and have you under my thumb am i robbing the world of something #normal thoughts for a 10 year old to have #when i talked to my brother abt this he was like 'i mean yeah the point is to dunk on the NPCs what were you expecting' and i mean i think #i get that its supposed to feel rewarding because the legendary is THE reward. but it doesnt feel right and i dislike he feeling of pushing #others down to get ahead. i guess u can argue sun/moon does smth similar where you have nebby with lillie #but lillie still ends up handing nebby over to the player and i STILL feel bad because im like shit man you raised that little guy #and koraidon/miraidon feels less like a reward but more like overpowered motorcycle lizard that is just so oupydog. and i love him #and in spirit tracks i went out of my way doing some of the side quests bc zelda asked nicely and honestly that was enough for me #i think all of this boils down to.. i feel very protective abt things i care abt so stories that give me a reason to care hits harder #this can also go the other way bc i CRIED when i finished links awakening because i KNEW every person and im responsible for #literally the end of their world. like. there was a family with 5 kids. marin loved singing and cared about me. she was my FRIEND #i just. ugh. i have too many feelings rn. i kinda wanna draw more spirit tracks link and zelda i think that wld make me feel better #yapping #diary #loz #pokemon

Supernatural 10.11 There's No Place Like Home

#supernatural #spn #supernaturaledit #spnedit #spndaily #supernaturaldaily #tvedit #my edits #deanedit #deanwinchesteredit #dean winchester #spn season 10 #this show is so good at portraying PTSD. if only they were allowed to call it that #s10 dean dealing with the mark is such a uniquely fantastic bit of writing it's a shame s15 also exists #no joke between the purgatory flashbacks in s8 and the continued unfolding of dean's bloodlust arc I think they finally understood dean #not to mention this is the first time anyone's really had to deal with trauma aside from cop-outs and shortcuts #ofc dean remembered hell the first time and had some flashbacks but those were limited to a few episodes and some torturing #it's in s10 when dean wants to torture and kill and hurt that you realize he learned how to do that in hell #s8-10 masterful dean arcs. the layering of the trauma like a fine tiramisu or perhaps a nice pastry #oh the reason this is images is not because of artistic choices (that was only later I like this better actually) the gifs were stupid #by that I mean a 20-frame gif with not many colors was refusing to compress into anything less than 10mb. so stupid

little soup cans are some of the neatest things we have, wish there were more soup-can-like things in this world

#just me hi #though canopeners need to stop being deadly weapons to some degree before that hfhs #'they're not deadly tho ?' well usually yes. but did you know that they can age Badly? i did not! #and the one I was using was dulled to an extent that it would Skip over a part of the can #(nearly the same spot every time lol) and when I thought I'd managed to fool it and had only #the tiniest bit of metal between me and some beans (pretty sure it was beans) I thought #'ohh I'll just pull up the can lid :)' Well the lid snapped off completely towards and Into my hand #and I had a bean-can wound on my pinky for about a week or so. I do not know how long it's been lol #//but soup cans are pretty cool I feel like they're kinda underappreciated !! #you can just have Soup ? Whenever ??? and it's Normal !! wow :D #sure making soup is pretty great. but that's a process man. and we're not even associates #[<- 'a process I am (not) intimate with'] #like there is a little can of menudo in the pantry rn - medunito they call it isn't that just !! - and it's just there. it can be made in #like 10 minutes. is this Not the best thing ever ! ? #//I've also gotta figure out this sleeping thing that I've got going on (everybody has it going on) #I was maybe half a week into actually have a consistent thing going but the night I stopped was bc I am a sucker of a storyteller and we #were up til about. I think 4-6 a.m. #that's on me yes. my siblings vs. my desire to tell stories and rubber willpower hfbdh #a deadly match truly #and also I lost my snoopy watch (RIP snoopy watch you will be missed (I can't find it send help Waough)) and that was the only clock I had #in this room so now if I wanna know the time I have to go the living room - which is like a whole dang thing lemme tell you about it #/first I've gotta get up - easiest thing by far - and get to the door - assuming I don't get KO'd by my siblings' belongings on the floor - #get to the door. the door Is broken to some extent. opening it means a loud THDPD noise is sent throughout the entire house lol. and you #have to yank on the thing to get it open - so double effort there - and then you step out into the hallwayish area where you can then enter #the living room - oh so easy! but No! you then have to either turn on the kitchen lights and wake everyone with their door open or sleeping #in the living room for whatever reason Orrr you have to clamber over chairs pots perhaps a cat if you've got real bad luck that night to ge #up nice n personal to the clock so you can read the dang thing and see it's 11:23. which is like nothing so you stay up Anyway and do not #check the clock again because not only was that a hassle but also you released every creature that was in the room with you (that's a lot o #noise). but Yea the clock situation is ongoing hfbsh #'why don't you get a clock' that would be much too easy loll :) (last one disappeared and we keep forgetting lol) //ran out of tag space so

my sister’s trying to finish doctor who before november 25th right and she’s fucking power watching, like she was literally on s10 LAST WEEK and tonight she’s just started s13. she’s been getting up at 6:30 everyday to watch it before school and then stealing the tv from the moment she gets home to the moment she goes to sleep. i haven’t seen her or the sofa in months

#i am enthusiastically encouraging her ofc #she expressed to me today how she doesn’t know what she’s going to do once she’s finished. she doesn’t know how to return to a normal life #where every waking moment isn’t consumed with doctor who #i’ll have to introduce her to the spin-offs and eu content #is 10 too young to watch torchwood? i’ll set her off on sja #actaully she turns 11 the day after the last special airs #she asked my mum if we had plans on the 9th and my mum was like NO you can’t have friends to sleep for ur birthday and we were just no no m #ther ofc that’s not what she’s asking we need that night free for the 60th you fiend #it’s been really convenient for me too bcs i’ve got a nice little recap #sooo lucky for her tho thats she’s timed it just right so she can finish it the day new content comes out #we watched the timeless children tonight and she was all ‘>:( the masters so evil’ while i was kicking my feet and going aww arent they so #cute so in love hehehe la la la #she’s deeply invested in thasmin #i cant wait for her to watch s13 cus damn she’s gonna love the thasmin-ness of it all #really just typed this all out on tumblr bcs i have no dw friends irl :( apart from her #i’ve really got her with dw she’s forcing her friends to watch it and for world book day they’re going as rose and the doctor #they’ve started a role play where they write letters as rose and ten to each other across universes #she made tea stained paper and everything #anyways stopping myself here goodnight 🫡 #doctor who #kori shitposts #loubatania

i am home from trip

#it was good. #hanging out with normie girls who were genuinely very nice and considerate and inclusive was healing for my inner teen #and being around trees was really good for my brain. #my body is in shambles but. well. what can you do. #i had a rly good time and i would def do it again. or do more trips w the same lil group. #and i am also very excited to be home and sleep in my own bed #and shift back into gay little freak mode. hopefully with a little less depression. #but if not i talk to my psych tomorrow so. we’ll see. #anyway. 10/10 good weekend. Time To Zzzzzzz. #izzy.txt

was the social media site vk because h. hi I roleplayed warrior cats on vk when I was like 9🤝

oh no it was way worse than vk. it was ok (odnoklassniki)👍

#i’ve never used vk #well. okay. i have used it exactly Once sometime when i was 10 #to not only impersonate a popular emo dog artist. but to also pretend to be my friend’s boyfriend so that she could piss off her ex or #something like that. i dont even remember if that worked but i know that i did reveal it to be Not True at one point #and me and the guy had a nice conversation #and then i never used vk again because. well. ihave no reason to use it first of all. second of all i hate that place and i would rather be #crucified than forced to interact with strictly russian communities #but anyway you would think that’s the end of the story. HOWEVER like a month or two ago my friend messaged me like #‘hey do you use vk?’ and i was like. No. You know i dont. and he was like ‘hmm. ok. well that explains why you haven’t been responding to my #memes since september’ and i went WHAT? <- guy who completely forgot he still had his vk account #so i logged back in and to my horror. the account did indeed still exist. it was all there the fake bio the impersonation the drawings that #weren’t mine. it felt like i found a corpse under the floorboards of my attic #so anyway i wasted no time in deactivating the account. so all ends well that ends well #i think #cramswering #but yeah anon we are shaking hands in solidarity because i also roleplayed cat oc family on odnoklassniki among with lion king oc family #it wasn’t wc just cat characters that were. emo. and awfully designed #damn i sure liked my emo cats and emo dogs

just came back from the most fun concert in my life!!!

#i am DRENCHED in sweat.... #also i managed to talk to a vocalist for a moment after the concert and thanked him for being my inspiration etc. #and when he thanked ME and said a few nice words. a bitch might have cried #like god they were always one of the most important bands in my life #thanks to them i got into politics... i learned english by translating their songs 10 years ago.... #i made myself a tshirt with their song lyrics when i was 15. and they played this song today!!! like holy shit. when i tell you i cried #they also talked abt women and queer people in my country and that was SO. yeah i cried AGKSFJSFJS I TEARED UP LIKE 6 TIMES OKAY #i jumped and screamed and cried and had so much fun!!!!!! #and now i'm supposed to go to sleep 🤣 i'm so pumped i don't think i'll be able to fall asleep anytime soon #ahh i feel alive #k.txt #the band i'm talking about is anti-flag btw i forgot to mention their name sfkdfj

there’s so much i wanna do this week/month/etc but i’m just too sick, i have no energy, i can’t sleep, i’m constantly nauseous and headachey and on the verge of a migraine, i’m stressed and irritable and impatient and panicky…….how tf did i survive nearly 5 years of high school untreated if i can’t even manage this when i don’t have any major obligations rn

#at least i finally got my meds so hopefully i feel a little better soon #although i’m now on 20 pills per day which is Just Great #whenever i’m in remission it’s nice to just. forget sometimes that this can happen at any time #kinda wish i had the typical kinda chronic illness that people talk about with ‘flares’ #or at least triggers that i can plan around #the other times have all had an easily identifiable stressor tho tbf. idk what caused this one #the first time was whooping cough and the next few were all very major life stressors like my cat dying right after i started uni #and i think also towards the end of my honours thesis? #but this…….there’s no major stress right now. nothing wildly beyond normal #i’m a little concerned about my joints tho. they’ve been so much worse than normal the last few months #so i’m kinda worried i’m developing rheumatoid arthritis (also an autoimmune disease and it runs in the family specifically) #so if that’s happening then it could set my thyroid off? probably should get to the doctor at some point #obv i’m seeing my endo for thyroid stuff. but i should see my gp and get her to run all the autoimmune blood tests again #i’ve done that before but it’s been a few years and my ankles and knees are so painful i can’t even walk properly a lot of the time #BUT I JUST WANNA DO THINGS I ENJOY AND I CANT AND I WILL CONTINUE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT #‘oh you’re so lucky you don’t have as many obligations because you’re chronically ill’ ha ha ha please swap lives with me immediately #personal #but seriously. i wasn’t diagnosed until i was nearly 17 and we can trace it back to whooping cough when i was 12 #so it was the last half of year 6 and then all of years 7-10 and the start of year 11 of just being. uh. ‘very lazy and complaining a lot’ #and TEACHERS joking about me and my sister (who was dealing with an arguably more severe undiagnosed disease) missing so many classes #wow so funny pdhpe teacher who’s supposed to be teaching is about health #and the thing with being a mentally ill teenager is that hyperthyroidism can just look like a very severe anxiety disorder #so i didn’t go to the dr until i was too sick to go to school at all. and luckily had a good dr who did a blood test #i’m just rambling now because i can’t sleep and i don’t wanna lie here doing nothing #might go play pvz or something. that’s been keeping me entertained

GUYS, I was minding my business (drawing) when suddenly this blonde thing spawned in my desk and started to inquiry me about nearby gold mines or something 🙄 I will make him watch a Minecraft playthrough but like... Hate when this happens -_-

....Ok jokes aside, meet paper doll Quincy/C-Horse! :') Making these tiny cuties has been a must for family gifts, and I wanted to make one for myself too. :D I've been wanting to do anyone from Big Waves since January, and right in holidays I got the perfect chance ❤️

I was also inspired to do it thanks to the whole Inazuma 15th anniversary event, which I made a tweet for (Featuring an older work of mine). Arts and crafts have always been a passion of mine since little, and mixing it with my interests is a pleasing combination. If you like this one, I'm planning to do more in the future!

Here's some extra photos from the original tweet. Feat. Sk8ter Quincy (Or his try at being one, I guess).

#inazuma eleven #big waves (ina11) #quincy horst #C-Horse #Love love love Quincy's dub nickname I'm gonna start tagging it more often #Funfact but the photos above vs below were taken in different times/light sources #I wasn't sure of the idea but I came to like it. Plus the sunvisor DOES create a nice shadow like intended YESSSS #(Not notorious on the specific ones I've choosen tho) #Either way look at him 🥺 #I've had him for 10 days already... I'm so happy <3

Okay so got into the city okay and I’m now chilling at the hotel…

#the Christmas market was really nice #I got some cute earrings #I got some snowflake and dinosaur earrings #all for £10 which was pretty good #and then I sat down and ate some food #I feel like taking yourself out for lunch and other stuff is really nice and self care #I had biryani and also tried the chai which was really #nice #I had to change my train time since I would’ve been late #but it ended up working out really well since #getting off the bus #I started talking to these people asking if they are trying to get to same hotel as me #and they were #and then asked if they were going to the concert and they are #so I’m going to meet them and we will go to the venue together which is nice :) #gatherrambles #thegapyeardiaries

[desperatepleasures]

SLAYED at the errands

#i got $10 off on my wead cause it was my first time at that dispensary wheeeeee #and the jewelry place is gonna get back to me in a couple weeks with an estimate on repairing my watch yayyy they were super nice too #and i had a good sandwich and a productive clay time #and pt was good also my next session might be my last one ahhhh

[deathsmallcaps]

My mom has suddenly decided I say sorry to much. And she’s right but god getting angry at me about it just triggers it :pppppppppppppppppppp

(She hates it when I stick my tongue out at her so :ppppppppppppp more)

SORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRY

:pppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

It also makes me angry because it reminds of all the times I’ve had to apologize and I DIDNT MEAN IT. And by ‘didn’t mean it’ I’m talking about the times where I had to be the bigger person or someone else was having a power trip or some shit. >:ppppppppp

I just want a totally guiltless, consequence free day where I can be as mean as fancy strikes me. And this is okay. It’s an unrealistic dream and should stay that way. But it’s also okay to feel aggressive and hurt. Two things, surprisingly, can be true at the same time. :ppppppppppppppppppp

#suddenlyish. this ain’t the first time #vent #don’t mind interactions just ain’t looking for solutions #my mom and I had a good day today actually #I’m just winding down and feeling things #my mom cannot function when it’s cold #and by cannot function I mean more her neural pathways for being nice shut down #she’s improved a lot but between her and customer service things to do today I’m just feeling a little upset #I’m also week 8 out from my period and goddamn this hormone shit is cumulative #like you’d think #oh dsc gee whiz since it’s been 8 weeks since your last period #assuming it starts tomorrow #that means all the steps of the period cycle were stretched out proportionally over the doubled length #NOOOOOOO ITS CUMULATIVE #it was 10 weeks in between the second to last one and the last one and I WAS FUCKING MANIC #FUCKKKKKK #BUT IN GOOD NEWS I GOT TO LISTEN TO ALL THE WAKANDA FOREVER SONGS TODAY #AND I GOT A NEW WINTER COAT BASICLALY FOR FREE AND ATE CHEESECAKE AND HAD A GOOD MINI DANCING SESSION #I DO NOT NEED TO MENTION GOOD THINGS IN ORDER TO MAKE MY NEGATIVE FEELINGS VALID BUT IM STILL CONVINCING MYSELF OF THAT FACT AND IM TIRED #AND YELLING FEELS GOOD. UNFORTUNATELY IM AT MY DAD’s house so if I scream I’d probably wake a neighbor #SO IM GONNA SCREAM HERE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #the cute aggression article on Wikipedia is a fun read #EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION #I might go eat more cheesecake
