#forgot about that one thankfully

[bayofalgecirascranes]

First non-fanfic novel I’ve read in months and it tricked me into reading existentialism. It promised me the zany wackiness of Earthbound and I was so caught up in my love of the bizarre that I forgot that I’ve never played Earthbound and that all the video essayists say that the existentialism is a pretty important aspect of those games too.

#Going bovine #But since this won’t be the first lighthearted YA adventure novel I’ve read where the protagonist dies at/near the end #I’m going for it #Nothing can be as bad as my experience reading the gardens of Rama or the Romance Derail-the-Plot subplot of The Witness by Josh McDowell #though to be absolutely fair to The Witness I think what I read was my Dad’s Beta Reader Copy just judging by the lack of a real cover #so hopefully he fixed that in the published work #Sophie’s world too #forgot about that one thankfully #I’ll never get over how its author managed to give a philosophy textbook a plot more boring than the textbook

Wouldn't it be cool if mermaids had mobile gardens planted on the backs of decorator crabs, and they'd just have these little critters wander around their homes and brighten up the scenery as they went? No? Just me thinking that 24/7? Okay.

Aren't I hurting anyone? Perhaps it's time for me to tear apart For what it is I've been Denote my place within humanity Projecting by my will I've been amassing solid iron claws Ignore the rottenness My recitals will decay in a flash

Happy birthday @cloudbattrolls! my buddy, my pal, my partner in writing hilarious and occasionally deeply cursed crimes

here's your blender gremlin :]

#raidiculous artings #guardian artifice #cloudbattrolls #i like the funny security system :] #kinda unintentionally gave it a new outfit cuz i forgot you drew a fullbody ref of the overalls until i went deeper in its tag #and by that point id already finished the lineart and was just. Ah shit. oh well i think these overalls are cute too #and the shoes were taken from its ref on its profile #also wanted to give a nod to some of its Blade Forms as well #so youve got the wings from the drabble w. gliese. the raptor-like tail. and of course The Claw #i was kinda going for a spiky look for the tail but was also thinking like. spine bones? w. the individual segment design #and also added some cables and wires to the wings for a more mechanical look #shading metal is simultaneously fun and hell on earth. i like just slapping shading and highlights next to one another #and when i first uploaded it it looked like tumblr completely killed the quality and i was legit about to cry LMAO #thankfully it looks like it fixed itself #but i hope u like it! i went all-out on this one #also fun fact that song is one i also associate with glas for the Vibe. but i think the nonsensical lyrics fit arty as well #i was also considering Between Two Worlds by Mili but it seemed too dramatic for my goofy lil chibi LMAO

WAIT MAN IN GREY IS GONE??? NOOOOOOO

Then besides you. Who else in the Aesop community/family is still alive? I havent been on tumblr much so it was a shock not being able to find Man in Gray anymore 😭😭😭😭

Ah... I'm actually kind of surprised that u think that my blog is still alive (well, barely, but i try) (work is seriously draining nowadays among other life tm stuff)

Tbh I feel like I've fallen out of the ask blog community for a while now. I always say that there's definitely some out there that are vibing, I'm just not aware of them since most of the blogs that i tend to interact with n know arent exactly very present in the scene anymore, but just cos I'm not aware of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Probably.

#its me the mun #mun rambles #SO I DRAFTED A REPLY N FORGOT ABOUT IT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS IM SORRY #i meant to go n look for other sop blogs but #i kida got distracted halfway n never ended up getting to that. thats on me #then when i wanted to edit this reply tumblr gave me the middle finger for a while. thankfully tumblr ipad mobile works #support ur local fav askblog by sending them lil asks or just some thoughts #anyway uess who got covid again. slides off the table in a coughing fit #that means. for some weird reason. i have motivation to draw. which is #good? great? this is a roundabout way of saying that im getting to the modern ghost au comic lmao #there arent any asks although i should really. get to my joseph blog soon. that one has still been getting asks im pleasantly surprised #i should also really get around to doing a pinned with all the events n comics that ive done for the blog for easy access

Koisenu Futari

Chains of Heart

The Golden Girls (season 1)

other stuff I watched this year: Not listing all of it here (I've never watched so much stuff as I did in 2023), but I'll mention the ones that I enjoyed watching the most from each month so far (*not including rewatches):

JUL: Takin' Over The Asylum

AUG: Marry My Dead Body

OCT: The Sandman

shows I dropped this year/didn't finish: I barely remember the ones I watched till the very end 🤡 But ok, let me see...

Eve (dropped after one episode; Rich People and their Rich People Problems™, I think was the reason)

A few straight GMMTV shows that I didn't really catch the name (I. Well. I just. I just couldn't make myself give a fuck, ok 😔)

+ Currently deliberating whether or not I should drop Chains of Heart. All the subtitles I've found are lacking in terms of coherence, and the story itself is already not the most straightforward, so I can only hope I'm understanding what's going on at all? 😀 And I'm also not feeling the main couple from either the present nor the past (? I suspect they are the same (but I may never know))... HOWEVER, I like the acting of the main, and the Thai scenario that is not Bangkok for once. That's always refreshing. And sometimes the cinematography is pretty too... Decisions, decisions...

currently listening to: Back for More by TXT & Anitta (I went after the link for it and distractedly searched for "banger" instead of the title 😆)

currently reading: Codename Villanelle (it's a small book but I'm. ..struggle)

current obsession: I'm not obsessing over anything at the moment 😟☹😫 Have been too busy with mundane adult life problems (therefore, as you can imagine, I'm just about going up the walls here :))

Yeah, so i need to talk about my AUs more. That being said, i recently thought of a new one im so in love with.

Basically our dear villain Eggman kidnaps our beloved Tails, because “yeah, that little brat makes my life miserable, lets brainwash him and use him as a lab assistant.” yknow the trope,,

Why did he simply not kidnap Sonic since he makes Eggys life even more miserable? Easy, Tails is way easier to capture and two geniuses on his side is way better than one.

But of course, something backfires and Egghead can try all he wants, but Tails just wont listen and behave. So he dumps him somewhere far from Sonics last known location so he doesnt get back that fast.

And not long after that, Sonic finds Eggman and demands his little brother back. And what? Sonic doesnt know that Tails is free yet? Eggy needs to take advantage of that! “oh dear Sonic! Your little sidekick is dead! Couldnt handle one of my experiments, such a shame. He had a lot of potential.”

And Sonic does not believe him, but he does get mad and his rage probably results in Eggman dying lol. (I thought about him going Dark or smt, but im not sure about that. Eggman does eventually die not long after though).

But we know that Tails is alive, so why hasnt he got back yet?! Well, what Eggman didnt know was that his brainwashing DID kind of work and he got some kind of amnesia, where he forgot basically everything (except some pieces there and there). Plus since Eggman’s goal was for Tails to forget he is Tails and that he had some connection to Sonic, he absolutely REFUSES to acknowledge he might be that genius inventor. He gets all mad and crazy when someone mentions he does look a lot like his old self. That’s why Sonic or anyone else cannot find him. He made himself a completely new persona and avoids his old one at all costs.

He does eventually (dont know after how long yet tho) reunite with Sonic and his old friends, because he is a VERY complicated person. The after effects of the brainwashing include him having some kind of urges and impulses to cause chaos. He robs a bank, committes some kind of arson or property damage etc, but he ALSO stays true to his morals and old beliefs and helps others a lot.  Like fighting with some villages against the new villain (something like Tangle before she met Sonic and comp.), or generally fixing other people’s stuff (thats why hes still not in prison, because all his bad doings are forgiven for his good ones).

So he does something bad, gets arrested and for some reason, Amy is at the police station and is like “wtf ur Tails omg?? We have been searching for u for years??” but of course, Tails refuses, so she calls Sonic and hes all like “jesus amy i told u to give it up, hes dead and- woah he fr is Tails.” and Tails STILL does not believe them, so they tell him that because he did something bad, he needs to help them on their new mission so he doesnt have to go to jail and he agrees.

Sonic and others then pretend to think hes not Tails so he doesnt get, how i said “mad and crazy”, until they stumble upon Eggmans old recordings of his experiments on Tails and he FINALLY gets his memories back.

They then of course need to work on getting all the brainwashing from Tails’ head, because it cant just ✨disappear✨, but he does get better eventually.

Oh and do NOT get me started on how Sonic is through all of this. The only thing you need to know for now is that he gets EXTREME separation anxiety after finally finding Tails, and gets overprotective af even tho he tries to hide it.

This took me mf 30 minutes to write. I have no idea how i did that.

#i forgot tags at first #i almost got a heart attack #i thought ill need to rewrite it ALL #didnt happen thankfully #yeah so have another au of mine #that noone cares about #ill share it anyway #please notice this #au #alternate universe #sonic #sonic the hedgehog #tails #tails the fox #miles tails prower #sonic and tails #amy #amy rose #shes literally the only one who believes tails is alive #sonic on the other hand does not believe he is dead #it sounds the same but its different okay #hopefully #i just need the brother angst #and when i dont get it i need to make up my own #i love them #eggman #ivo robotnik #hes an asshole #bananas’ talks #bananas’ au

Do you ever get home from work and think “I wonder if I could’ve communicated worse. Probably not”

#first off an alarm went off for the too good to go app; so i snoozed it while my coworker went to put bags together #then when it went off all i said in the most defeated voice was ‘it’s happening again’ #picture this. a bell is gently ringing and a barista says in the driest yorkshire accent possible ‘it’s happening again’ #the customer was just like ‘uhhhhhhh are you good’ #the second thing was when the extra coffee machine’s bucket filled up (just don’t ask) so my coworker took the bucket to empty it #but then someone ordered two lattes and i remembered at the last second that i could only use one machine #so i basically pressed the latte button; put a cup under; then cancelled it while yelling ‘NOOO NOOO NOOOO NOOO NOOOOOOO’ #and just. ran away from the coffee machine #the customer was once again like ‘is something wrong here’ and i was like ‘josh has taken the bucket’ which also doesn’t elucidate matters #much and tbh sounds a bit like a metaphor for something else #thankfully she understood and didn’t cancel the order. i feel like i would’ve cancelled the order #a barista running away from a machine while repeatedly yelling ‘NOOOOOO’ doesn’t really inspire confidence in me #special mention goes to when i just clean forgot the name of the plant based milk jug and said ‘i’m going to wash the this’ #also when someone said ‘can i have this heated up’ and i just said ‘we can’t’ with no explanation #gerry was already explaining about how we turn the oven off at 3:45 but i was prepared to just fully be like ‘no’ #but yeah. that was my day #me being a teacher was just never going to work out… i don’t word good #personal

oh yeah uh i forgot to talk about my day. i havent rly been existing as a person whoops. uh

work kinda sucked but not NEARLY as bad as yesterday. honestly yesterday was probably the worst shift ive had in uh. well at least a year im betting. it was really so very bad.

today was better except Whoops my bike broke a little bit. forgot to mention that too. i left it at work overnight in the storage room n im gonna bring it to the bike shop tomorrow. so im gonna be without my bike for a few days </3

uhm. otherwise ive been procrastinating, still not doing my dishes, reading trigun fanfic and rewatching trigun stampede and reading trigun maximum. and also browsing etsy for trigun merch, of which i bought a few things.

now im thinking about skipping class again bc it's accidentally oh so late and i am very tired. i can rationalize it to myself that it's Totally for the sake of finishing my lab tomorrow. but really ive just lost control of this semester and i barely wanna do shit anymore. lol.

#speculation nation #also listened thru the 2nd trigun stampede OST album two whole times #went walking home bc i got no bike rn and i was just meandering down the scenic path #(it's thankfully not flooded anymore. a lil muddy at spots but i managed to avoid it) #saw some deer tracks. crouched by the river for a little bit. all while sipping at a hibiscus tea i brought from work #went home. read embarrassing fanfiction. swore i was gonna do the dishes and then just watched trigun stampede #went looking on etsy. went reading the manga. i swear it's overtaking my entire life. #im trying to be gentle with myself tho. saturday's shift did Not help me with the mental breakdown ive been fending off for weeks #oh yeah and easter. fucking easter. i was neutral/negative leaning but the shop i wanted to go to was closed today #which pushed it solidly in the negative direction. like for fuck's sake this is a fucking witchy shop and they're closed for EASTER????? #i wanted to go buy a tarot deck wtf. and the Spiritual Shop is closed for a Christian Holiday??? okay lmfao #meanwhile we kept having ppl call to ask if we were open today n it was just like 'man this is a bubble tea shop what do you think' #O Lord Bless This Bubble Tea for it was Made In Your Image............. #or some shit like that idfk. like yes we did have a few ppl call off for easter but majority of us are gay and/or Definitely not christian #the handful of us there kept laughing about how little we care about easter. one girl saying she completely forgot about it #and like. man. yea. easter's one of the most pointless ass holidays outside of christianity #at least there's fun in christmas for non christians in the gift giving. easter is just like. there are eggs now??? #and this is to celebrate The Lord?????? ok lol #anyways yea my days r happening. i keep skipping class. probably will again. Whoops sorry professor man but im just tryin to survive now

heartstoppers is really forcing me to look at my teenage years huh

#it’s cute and I’m happy queer kids can read this #but I forgot how much I repressed at that age and it’s messing with me a little #even the high school setting reminds me of mine it fills me with this dread that makes it hard to enjoy #it’s making me think about my teen years when I REALLY don’t want to #idk ramblings #I’m not the only one having this reaction though #thankfully
