Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!
Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*
Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!
Okay SO!
This is the first time I'm doing something like this. But brainrot is real, fandom is super active and supportive right now and I couldn't rest until I did.
This was a song that I wrote and composed for an entirely different project in college. And it didn't take off really.
Esp with season 2 and being back on Tumblr. I couldn't help but think
CROWLEY AND AZIRAPHALE!!!!
I wanted to post an MV but I sadly do not have the time for that in between studies, might do it later.
But I wanted to share the song, because I wanted to contribute to all the great art going on here.
So I brushed it up and re-recorded a bit.
It's an end credits song so super short
Thank you fandom for letting me have the courage to post my wok for the first time ever <3. If ya'll have suggestions/ criticisms I would love to hear.
wednesday, february 21st, 2024 | 26/100 days of productivity
I got very distracted this morning looking through the catalog of no starch press books (do I need a book on ARM assembly right now? absolutely not. do I want one? yes) but I managed to get some things done today!
today's productivity & self-care:
finally made some progress on some work projects that felt stuck
went on a nice lunchtime walk (I passed 4 dogs and observed what I'm pretty sure was a tufted titmouse!)
finally finished the labs for section 4 & made anki cards
had a doctor's appointment & I'm feeling optimistic about ways to deal with my frequent headaches :')

One thing I find incredibly interesting about ZSakuVA and his series 'The Nobel Trials' is actually the character of the listener.
And I know you all are thinking:
"Umbra... It is a self insert listener..."
But just hear me out.
Zaros, as a very far leftist, embodies most of the beliefs that I hold true in my day to day existence. About opening everything to the public and providing better education, healthcare, food ect to all.
But the thing is we aren't Zaros we are essentially elon musk's kid. Granted the listener's mother does seem very kind but that kind of wealth and the established listener's character makes them seem unnaturally callous. Which quite frankly they are.
But that's no fun to me.
So instead I have been coming up with the most petty and slightly devil's advocate counterarguments to every single claim that Zaros is making about this listener. Also as well as considering why the listener acts the way they do. I plan on making this in a list because I find this so entertaining. It will probably be called something like #Zaros' listener's character study.
This post I'm mainly use as a PSA to say that this is merely a character analysis. Zaros, while he does have his flaws, I objectivly agree with politically so far in the series (Ep 2). This is all a bit of banter and I hope you all can enjoy as much as I do!
