one time i explained to my uncle what shipping was and he was like "i don't see that being a compelling way to think about most stories tbh... but do you know what is compelling. torah. have you ever heard of david and jonathan"

#txt #also i feel so cringe remembering having explained the concept of shipping to anyone but it was early 2021 #the insanity was at a pretty high level then #100 #1k

most messed up this of this entire decade is me trying to clean up a bunch of my old music folders and finding old wips or abandoned songs that i worked on when i was making the life series chiptune tracks

#this is EVIL #most of them are just slightly different variations of the final tracks but theres like. one or two here that i never did anything with #and one of them is NOT BAD?. or was actually like. decent for my skill level back in 2021 #part of me is really tempted to finish it but also my track record is BAD so. shrug

my two biggest comforts as that one steven meme

original tweet:

#omori #art #hero omori #omori hero #danganronpa #danganronpa thh #kiyotaka ishimaru #taka honestly isnt a huge comfort anymore #but no character has ever gotten to the level of obsession i had over him in 2021 #so i had to draw him i literally couldnt not

Gothmog, Thuringwethil, and bonus Tevildo

i was digging around in my files and rediscovered some really old silm art of mine, including my original angband trio designs (mostly traced off heroforge models lol):

and they're actually pretty cool! thuringwethil's tail is maybe a little questionable of a design choice (how are you supposed to fly with a giant tail flopping around...) but it looks really good on gothmog.

i don't really remember what i was doing with sauron (he looks a little like early curufin for unknown reasons) and idk what the wrist things are supposed to be, but Original Flavor Thuringwethil was actually a corrupted maia of manwe (eonwe's sister?), hence the feathers instead of traditional bat wings. for Original Gothmog i am less sure about his origins but he is possibly a corrupted maia of ulmo (originally a sea serpent, hence the tail and ulmo style ear-fins) who basically dried up into a more stone-based serpent

anyways i think I might keep thuringwethil's face/wing design and gothmogs full design for future use

#silm #silmarillion #sauron #gothmog #thuringwethil #hm now i must go check the other ancient dusty designs #yeah idk why thuringwethil has a tail i think i just wanted her to match the other two #for some reason half my original flavor elves look vaguely like curufin or celebrimbor #idk why they jsut all have celebrimbor vibes #my modern design gothmog is more coal-y #like with black skin black armor magma skin cracks and fire hair #which is also cool but very hard to actually see the details on #so maybe ill use Gothmog the Fair as his default design and Gothmog the Burnt as like an intimidating battlefield design #okay yeah hes a maia he can have two different fanas right? #definitely not keeping the giant pauldrons for thuringwethil though #not sure how shes supposed to raise her arms over like chest level in those things #also unclear how the tattered danglies are attached to her sleeves #are they sewn on for dramatic effect? #2021 me had really cool ideas and a rather poor understanding of how clothes actually work #oh well i can fix that now #ooh maybe ill do an uncorrupted thuringwethil/gothmog next

Why is that everyone I ever met was so... Normal about Haikyuu?

Like

I want to meet someone who used to look up Haikyuu text videos regularly. Someone who memorized all the schools, characters and their thousands of nicknames. Someone who knows most of the memes that were repeated verbatim (I talk like Kuroo rooster, Doorkawa or Kageyama loving milk). Someone who watched millions of "GACHA HAIKYUU REACT TO X" videos. Someone who maybe also made a fucking EXCEL SHEET FOR THEIR HAIKYUU AU OMG I AM STILL NOT OVER THAT I DID IT

I WAS A CRINGE CHILD, OKAY? BUT CRINGE CULTURE IS DEAD AND I DON'T WANT TO BE CRINGE ALONE THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING FOR.

#Yesterday I found out someone I know watched Haikyuu #AND I WAS PUMPED ABOUT IT #But then I realised she barely remembered characters names while I started to quote her some stuff without looking ut up #I just want to meet someone on the same level of brainrot as me 😭😭😭 #haikyuu #Me in 2020/2021 was something else I swear

Can we say that Luca is a cult classic now or is there like a five year mark that we need to wait for

#this is a joke btw #I’m well aware Luca isn’t at all on the same level as Rocky Horror or The Thing or Tommy or Clockwork Orange #just wanted to call the fandom a cult. because it kind of is #luca 2021 #pixar luca #Disney #pixar

Was tagged by @oceancamp to post my current five favorite songs! (They should invent a stages-of-grief-esque model that encompasses and accurately describes both types of anguish I had to go through making this list - the one of limiting myself to only five songs, and the one of trying to put as little videogame music on here as possible so that I don't end up looking like an absolute goddamn geek, which... I am... Oh well!)

Thank you so much for tagging me - here are the songs!

Heaven Pierce Her - War Without Reason

Tatsuro Yamashita - Love Space

This specific arrangement of Death And Republic + Meet Again

Winger - Junkyard Dog (Tears On Stone)

The Protomen - Light Up The Night

Is it courtesy to tag other people after you've been tagged in a post like this? If that's the case, I'll tag @spiralled-fury, @solradguy, @swamppossum, @five-by-five, @northstarring, @ineedmoredragons and @tbonechessor!

#logs #ya don't have to participate if you don't want to‚ from what i've gathered - it's all just for fun anyway :] #The link to Yamashita's song is actually a link to a website that hosts city pop songs‚ since those keep getting taken down on YouTube due #to the strictness of Japan's copyright laws with regards to music. Uploads of Yamashita's songs in particular get taken down quite #frequently... The rest are either Bandcamp or YouTube (in case of Junkyard Dog) links #Very out-of-character of me not to put a Кино song on here‚ haha #I had a hard time deciding whether to put HOLD BACK THE NIGHT or Light Up The Night here‚ but ultimately decided on Light Up The Night #because... hoo boy #okay storytime. i've known of the protomen since somewhere around 2021. got The Good Doctor in my recommended feed‚ clicked on it because #i thought the album cover was cool + the title was appealing‚ but i never really listened to anything theirs beyond that song after that. #fast forward to 2022. be me‚ watching the greatest videoessay on planet earth (Steak Bentley's Metal Gear Solid 4 Was A Mistake). #the fucking MONTAGE comes on‚ and I fall in love with my second Protomen song. second fast forward to 2023 going into 2024‚ finally got #around to playing the Violence update. i learn of the name of level 7-2. the widest‚ most mischievous grin appears on my face. #i enter the level‚ proclaim ''ULTRAKlLL IS NOW A STEAK BENTLEY REFERENCE'' and blast the song as i get my ass beat by every single thing in #that level. #and let me tell you. getting mollywhopped ten thousand times by the FUCKING GUTTERTANK TRIO AT THE END OF THE LEVEL WAS. not a pleasant #experience. but the song made it better. :) (i played the level before the balance patch came out and uh let's just say i had more deaths on #that level than on 2gabe and 1gabe. SEVENTY-FOUR. FUCKING. RESTARTS. JESUS /CHRIST/. #goodness how i yearn to make a 3d animation of v1 going through 7-4 with that song in the background as a tribute to the man himself but #alas i am a student who has everything in the world but time #thanks for the tag again!! ^^

New Year’s resolutions for bad girls and hedonists

✨ Put on a show every time you take your clothes off. No more leaving your dirty leggings in a ball in the corner of the bathroom - peel each piece off with the intention and grace of a burlesque queen.

✨ Say no, shamelessly. If you don’t want a drink, if you want to stay home, if you can’t take on the extra work, if you don’t like what’s for dinner. It’s okay to say no, no explanation needed.

✨ Really learn to embrace pleasure - and how to experience pleasure without sabotaging yourself. When you finally learn to focus on an experience and enjoy it, you’ll find you no longer need to gorge yourself, get drunk, over exercise, or spend your whole paycheque on an online shopping spree. You’ll simply feel, and enjoy.

✨ Get comfortable in your skin. Stop reading about how to be a different type of person and be yourself. Trust that your power, your confidence, and your femininity are within you - they can’t be taught. The more comfortable you come to feel in your own skin, the more unstoppable you’ll be.

#mine #personal #femininity #aesthetic #girls with tattoos #level up #luxury #elegance #glow up #vintage #love #off duty show girl #self improvement #burlesque #new year #new years resolution #new years Eve #2023 #I should say MORE resolutions… I wrote one of these way back in 2021!

gituation stepping back -> getting worse pipeline is real and evil

#all i wanted was to distance myself as i wasnt as hyperfixated on them #and i wouldnt say it's back it's not the 2021/2022 levels of being invested but they do have a really strong grip on me THEY'RE NOT NORMAL #asks

[sprucewoodmpreg]

i legitimately have to clear my schedule every time new life series episodes are released now because it's a 4+ hour commitment to watch even just a few povs 😭😭 i had to decline an invite to go out for dinner tonight and its like Sorry man. 1.5 hour long bdubs episode. you know how it is

#we get more life series but at what cost (1/7th of my entire week) #i should quit my job so i can get back to 2021 levels of posting. being unemployed allows for so much beautiful free time

[lanternlightss]

looking back at posts and its so fun seeing exactly which two characters in genshin i was hyperfixated on and that even after like three years it has not changed Once 😭

venti and nameless bard have me wrapped around their fingers istg

#SINCE 2021 !!!!!!!!!! #i think about how much they love each other how much venti seems to idolize the bard to the point that he might seem to be on the same #divinity level as ven is #i think about that ven has carefully guided the citizens of mond to the same values that bard and the rest of old mond wanted it to be #i think about ven never changing his form to keep his friends memory alive even after /two millennia/ of seeing the face you can never get #back in the mirror every day #i think about ven holding his own hands together and pretending for a moment that its someone else holding his #i think !!!!!! about what would happen if the bard had ever perished. if ven would be severely protective and i dare you. try to lay a hand #on a single hair. he has gone through so much and i refuse to let anything take away what he deserves to see #i think about the bard catching the wind as easily as breathing simply bc its not truly “caught” #the wind is simply ever so fond of them that they will not go anywhere else for too long #i think about. the bard cradling a wisp so gently every night that even now warmth seeps in through ventis hand if he pretends enough #i think about a ghost bard who never leaves vens side. who had promised always whenever they departed thatd he leave something for venti to #know hes still there #i think about a bard who breaks down ventis walls with a single tap #bc they know each other as well as they do themselves #i think abt a bard who gently relearns a ven he hasn’t met #i think abt a bard who is angry and spiteful and spitting at the world softening around the wisp who shows nothing but kindness #i think about a bard recognizing ven by a small breeze alone #and i #i simply go bonkers over them you see #lantern says stuff

[aroacesigma]

you know the bsd hyperfixation is getting out of hand when you spend your time changing all the tumblr accents to purple and the logo to wan sigma that spins when you hover over him

#ramblings #this might be my peak if im being honest #i have done a great many things over hyperfixations that would be considered deranged #this one is just under the 3 month long ship war of 2021 #to get on that level i need to get block by 900 people in the bsd fandom

[fure-dcmk]

you also do orv stuff!?? (I just only looked at the preorder post and oh my god) they do fit your style tho

also lovely heishin art as always <3

BEING KNOWN FOR MY HEISHINS ill take that as a win

the year marks the 3rd year im an orv fanartist actually. its my all-time favorite story 🥹 permanently rewired my brain with themes

#fure asks #actually to me orv is still somewhat an obscure fandom everytime i see orv pfp in the notification of my dcmk acc notif i cheer #i know thats not reality. orv is as mainstream as solo leveling at this point but 2021 mindset still stuck with me 😭
