My english lyrics for Triage woo! (They're written out under the cut, I just wanted to share my lil chart lol)

Though I'm too indecisive to officially label this as my favorite song, it's had the strongest emotional impact on me by far. It holds a special place in my heart, I definitely wanted to write lyrics for it first! I'll leave all my rambling process commentary in the tags, but I was so happy with how it came out!!

All of those cards of promise thrown down carelessly,

This must be retribution for all I've taken endlessly.

If that were the case, it should have been fate for me to die.

That's the truth, given my crime, so why--?

No, I can't take it, to this cruel joke I'll submit. You

don't know, you can't know, but I'm ready to admit:

Killing for them, extracting for them, won't change the fact they're dead.

I need someone to tag me as RED.

It makes me sick (sick), it's too unpleasant. Sick (sick)

Is this punishment? What do you mean I'm INNOCENT?

I see, the world is cruel and leaves you on your own.

(I can't die) to atone. (I can't love) alone.

I can't be saved (saved), you've nothing to give. Saved (saved)

But what if I lived? Why else would you choose to forgive?

I see, there's lives to save so let's be sensible.

Right now, you need me, (I can be) indispensable.

Tilt to and fro, I know the scales should land on GUILTY for me.

Tilt fro and to, it's INNOCENT that they choose.

They cry (x4) out in pain, I can hear them. There's no one else, to guard their health,

My mission is offering help.

All of those cards of promise thrown down carelessly,

This must be retribution for all I've taken endlessly.

So if that's the case, then it must be fate to make amends,

Extract that fang before we meet the end.

It makes me sick (sick), it's too unpleasant. Sick (sick)

Is this punishment? What do you mean I'm INNOCENT?

I see, the world is cruel, but what I've realized is

(Now I want) to be INNOCENT. (Now I want) to live.

It makes me sick (sick), This wasn't my plan, hostages at my command.

Their future resting in my hands

I see, there's lives to save so let's be sensible.

Right now, please save me, (I will be) indispensable.

Maybe this was meant to be -- oh  -- or maybe neither of us can know

There's lives to save so let's be sensible.

Right now, please save me, (I will be) indispensable.

I mentioned earlier that I always get annoyed with myself when people post translyrics and I can't figure out the rhythm they were going for, so here's a recording of me singing, but I'm bad at it! It's just for fun! Like a rough draft for music! Because the only thing worse than people hearing my voice is people thinking I can't count syllables!

#milgram #shidou kirisaki #lyrics #im real happy with how they came out :)) #when i first got into milgram i started writing tear drop lyrics but got discouraged #(ill be revisiting them next but) it was so fun to work with this song! #i love the sound of it and had a great time creating my version #i wanted his repeated lines in the refrain to have a punch to them #and was SO satisfied giving the doctor 'sick' and 'saved' as his focus words #the mention of 'throw down' wasnt originally intended but it fit so well i just had to keep it asdfsd #i looked up an internet translation for 'Shinenai sentaku o ikenai ai o' because the official english line confused me #and it gave me 'i cant die. i cant go. i cant love.' and i loved that more than the official translation actually #really the only word that doesnt flow quite like id want is 'punishment' but the meaning/rhyme made me happy so i kept it haha #nothing can replace the sound satisfaction 'Yurayura tenbin yurusa naide hoshii noni/Yureteru yurushite hoshii to' gives me tho -_- #and i wanted a more open-mouth sound when he sings 'dattaka' the second time -- i absolutely love how he draws it out #but had to settle for what i could make work 🤷‍♀️ #we are spitting in the face of cringe culture and posting my voice!! #some writers are okay if their complete vision doesnt make it across to the audience but Not Me #i gotta show my whole vision and draft 😂 #oh and excuse his voicemail message LMAO #i love shidou with all my heart but i have to tease him about shoving his profession in our face every chance he gets #(did we ever get a translation for that btw?) #but yeah im always preaching to do arts and things youre bad at just because theyre fun so i figured id take my own advice #because it was a lot of fun to sing :3 #and i dont know how to word this in the fans-having-collaborative-fun way and not a pretentious way #but if any of the milgram pals who like singing want to cover it hmu :D

Eiekdkksoeoekekls, it’s been a while, what’s up, where’ve u been???? 👁️👄👁️

uhhhh

me was a silly goofy bear

but for the most part, ive been improving myself and reflecting on a lotta stuff

#yagurlchip❤️ #toma #mato potato #i was also catching up with a lot of school work cuz my brain wasnt braining for almost 2 months #it took me 2 energy drinks and 196 assignments done in two weeks for me to realize i was on the internet wayyy too much #but now i have goals and stuff gotta get done #but that doesn't mean im leaving! #i still love every fandom im in- #im just gonna try cutting back in screen time

If i had a nickle every time a huntlow shipper started a friendly conversation with me but it quickly devolved into them aggressively sending me the same 3 screenshots or repeating the same 3 ooc headcanons to convince me that the huntlow ship is canon and therefore it must be good and therefore i have to like it, i would have at least 4 nickles.

Which isnt a lot, but the fact that its happened at least 4 times means i am never going to like this ship lmao

#the owl house #toh #shut up pandora #huntlow #two of them were a lot friendlier than the two others tho #so those are the two i havent blocked #one person i did block said if i liked the show then i wasnt allowed to dislike huntlow bc thats part of the show too #which isnt how anything works #the other one whos since deactivated said i shouldnt use so much critical thinking bc it spoils everyones fun and YES I AM QUOTING THEM #the friendlier ones kept saying its totally cool if i didnt ship it but it was clear tha they wouldnt leave me alone until i did ship it #despite the fact that i said repeatedly that ppl trying to push the ship too hard was part of my problem with it in the first place #other than that the reasoning behind huntlow shippers seem to be a mixture of reading WAY too much into the bit actually in the show #not remembering their characterization outside the ship unless it helps push the ship #and a general inability to understand why someone might not like the thing they like #they assume my reasons for disliking the ship is that i dont understand why THEY personally like it #so when i say i do understand but those are the reasons i dislike it #they cant accept that and must explain it to me again #this isnt a problem inherent to likers of the huntlow ship this is just annoying ppl on the internet #but this is the most recent thing where this has happened so im grumping about it #lowhunt

Genuinely baffled that people in the replies are acting like because family is more likely to abuse a child that suddenly strangers on the Internet are. NOT likely to do the same?? Like I'm not a parent or a cyber security specialist so I can only speak for myself but I've experienced both ends of it. Like I had both unfettered access to the Internet and also a mother demanding passwords to my tech and guilting me for not sharing it - I can see why some people may need unmonitored access to the Internet to save themselves but I am not putting my future child in harms way bc of the crimes of other ppl.

#and ofc id love to work with them and have a system in play and teach them internet safety #but theyre my kid. i have to monitor them even when it may be uncomfortable. such is what being a parent entails #they are quite literally my responsibility and if something happened to them bc i wasnt paying attention id drown in the guilt.

shoutout to the time i thought juggalos were just a random type of clown in the same way rodeo and pierrot is, and I off-handedly mentioned them in a conversation about clowns to one of my DQ managers when I worked there, and she fucking lost her mind laughing and I was like. damn. I didn't think my joke was THAT funny but okay. and then I never looked up what a juggalo actually was until just last year, like four years after I'd stopped working at that place 🧍

#when u dont have internet access very often u don't use ur small bits of time to look things up #esp when u dont have any unmonitored internet access fjdkdl #i was scared to look things up at school and i couldnt look up very much on the home computer #and my mobile had net nanny installed on it lmfao it was set for like... 12 yr olds #NOW GRANTED. I ACTUALLY DID MANAGE TO BREAK NET NANNY ON MY OWN COMPUTER. u have to move some files around inside the program files #and then u can basically break and un-break it as u please #so i could have it on to keep up the charade that i had it installed and it was monitoring and reporting my good boy usage #but then when i wanted to do stuff like... go on tumblr. or look up slang or whatever fhdkdl i could break the program #until i was done and then fix it so it'd go back to normal #this didnt help v much though bc i couldnt lug my laptop to school v often #and i wasnt allowed internet at home fhfkdl unless I was using my mother's laptop for looking up piano music LOL #eventually i also figured out how to break the program on my phone too but that one was more luck than anything else i think #anyways. all this surveillance made me good with tech stuff but im not Good w tech djdkdl i just know how to look things up #and i learned a bit how the backend of programs work or weird tricks for hidden folders and stuff on laptops #hey why tf am i rambling abt this in the tags fjkdl I've lost the plot #anyways good morning everyone please look up words that u may not know the meaning of before u use them #i do this too often now fhfjld. i have to look up words that i DO 100% know the meaning of just to make sure i dont have it wrong somehow #pippen needs 2nd breakfast

You ever see someone on tumblr who clearly just reblogs every PSA or news blurb that crosses their dash, even if there are no sources and it's just someone's straight text post or highlighted screenshot of some unknown origin? And then every so often they reblog a post that's claiming another post they reblogged earlier is actually false/dangerous and warning people not to believe it?

Anyway this is your friendly reminder to actually look at sources before spreading information. And put sources in your informational posts so people can verify what you're saying.

#fsh.txt #i know im guilty of just believing things i see on the internet #but im actively working on that in myself and trying not to rb things without sources now #hbomberguys video wasnt just about plagiarism #its about being vigilant yourself about where information comes from #anyway #i just seen a few well meaning but too trusting ppl on my dash #who have had to rb several 'x post is lying actually' corrections #and idk maybe thats a sign one should scrutinize a little more closely

I feel like I need to be financially compensated for being raised to not know how to do like any fucking cleaning

#idk how to clean shit #why the fuck isnt home ec required good god #just vaguely following internet instructions and standing like :| bc its not working #ive gone through two boxes of baking soda #text #paersonal #like wow i wish my executive functioning was perhaps developed a little bit literally at all before being sent off on my own huh #shouldnt be something im only starting to deal with as an 18+ year old #like unironically im going to have to get a fucking coach or something #which sucks bc that's money and time and effort #like i dont want to get a therapist bc ik im just going to move in a year or whatever and then what #wont have em anymore #have to start the stupid awful process all over again #then again i wasnt fucking diagnosed w adhd until after college started #bc the mental healthcare in this country is a fucking joke and i want to shred the diagnostic requirements of the dsm #just hhhgghggrggfhh #it is So fucking crippling lmao

talking about the strike with my students and theyre all gung-ho and supportive: 

#i always love dropping the 'professional clowns make more than i do' #its wild to think my monthly paycheck working on electron microscopes and teaching pre-med students is comparable to what i made #as a content creator/internet jester man #but at least then i wasnt working 65-75 hours a week and bringing in millions of dollars to a major institution #whether or not i'm being called slurs by 14 yr olds or imagining the surfaces of semiconductors rent still takes up 70% of my paycheck

Birdcage, Chapter 6

I was just a kid

Morro winces as Wu pulls the bandage tight. Wu murmurs an apology and steps back, eying his handiwork.

Bandages cover a lot of Morro's torso. A couple of his ribs fractured when Wu pulled him from the air, and Wu had insisted that no, Morro could not wrap his own wound.

Morro hates to agree, but he could barely move his right arm without feeling a lancing pain in his chest.

"How does it feel?"

"Like shit."

Wu tuts sternly at him.

"Language."

Morro bites his tongue to keep from snapping at his old sensei. Since he woke up on the Bounty, he's heard so much cussing from the ninja -- aimed at him, nonetheless -- and now Wu won't let him? Surely he knows that his students talk like that?

"... sorry." A beat. "Kai called me a jackass."

Wu whips his head around so fast Morro hears his neck crack.

"He what?"

"Called me a jackass. He also threw me into the wall, threatened to kill me," Morro adds casually. Wu looks like he's going to explode.

Then he takes a deep breath and visibly wrestles his emotions back under control.

"I will talk to him... I sense there is something else that you wish to say?"

Morro freezes. His mind flits back to the moment Lloyd entered the room.

"I... I don't know what happened. Lloyd walked in the room and told me it's been three years since I was last seen. I guess I panicked, and..."

Wu waits patiently for Morro to continue, and Morro knows he can't get out of this without telling Wu.

"I may have... accidentally... possessed Lloyd?"

Wu closes his eyes and mutters something that sounds an awful lot like a prayer. He pulls a teapot from somewhere and pours a cup, offering it to Morro.

"Tea?"

Morro stares at the cup, flinching away from the steaming liquid. Wu's face falls.

"Ah. Apologies, I was not thinking."

"No, it's just..." Morro furrows his brows. "I just told you I possessed your nephew and your response was to offer me tea?"

"You said it was an accident. I would like to hear the details, if you wish to tell me."

Morro hesitates. Something doesn't feel right about this. If he was still a ghost, he would-

Wait a minute.

"I shouldn't have been able to possess him," he whispers, eyes wide. Wu looks nervous.

"That... is correct. I have never heard of a living human possessing another, but you also came back without being summoned..."

Wu brings his own cup to his mouth, then freezes, eyes wide. He lowers his cup in shaking hands.

"Unless-"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY BROTHER?!"

Several people run past the door before Cole pokes his head through.

"Hey, Sensei. We need to borrow the Bounty. We should be back by tomorrow. Lloyd's in his room, so keep an eye on him. Bye!"

Cole disappears from the doorway, and soon Morro hears the sound of the Bounty's engines fade away.

"What?" Wu finally says. "They don't bother to tell me where they're going? At least they're going out and about -- better than lying around doing nothing -- but they should have filled me in!"

His muttering dwindles to a halt. He sighs.

"Unfortunately, I also have to leave."

"Why?" Morro asks incredilously. "Where are you going?"

"What you told me about your return is deeply troubling. I must go to the Library of Domu to see what I can learn about this," Wu explains, looking infinitely tired.

Morro frowns. Then horror dawns on his face.

"You're leaving me here?" he whispers. "With Lloyd?"

"You are both skilled fighters and can defend yourselves against any threat."

Morro groans. Wu completely misunderstood his question.

"Besides," Wu continues, "Pixal is here. She will most likely check on you every so often, so stay in the medbay."

Wu walks to the door, but turns back.

"Oh, and one more thing. Don't antagonize Pixal. She does not take kindly to threats."

"Wait!" Morro yells, but Wu doesn't seem to hear him, walking through the door and out of sight.

Leaving Morro alone in the Monastery with the person he possessed and a possibly violent stranger.

Wonderful.
