Hold me one more time, so that I never forget how it felt to hug the sun

#warrior cats #warriors #thunderclan #firestar #sandstorm #firesand #I should’ve probably waiting to take the picture in the morning #so that the lighting would be better #but I loved how it came out #so I’m posting anyways #also sorry for the increase of #firesand content #just been thinking about them a lot recently #drew these with cheap color pencils #9 colors in total- but it was fun being limited yknow #i drew it on a 3 hour bus ride from Pompeii to Rome yay #in my dorm I have this super fancy color pencil set I got for my birthday #like senior year hs #but couldn’t bring it with me on the trip

new headcanon dropped (HELP ME)

I like to imagine that while there might be a universal "standard" language to make interplanetary communication easier (ex: Koppaite text is also found on the S.S. Shepherd among several other places), everyone's accents and dialects are still different depending on their home planet!!

this in mind. it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to tell right away where Bernard is from. this is because he uses so much lingo from different places he's been to and pronounces certain words in a Variety of different ways that it can be hard to trace if you haven't known him long enough

#pikmin #pikmin 4 #pikmin headcanons #bernard pikmin #he does this because i do it i Absorb the way people speak like a sponge and he sounds like he also would #i had a teacher my senior year of hs from wisconsin who put a different emphasis on words like “bag” that i didn't since i live in florida #and it's been a year #and i just found out i STILL say those words like she does #yes this inspired the post I'm embarrassed and projecting

okay but i think it says a lot about eddie that he clearly wanted to graduate high school.

in some way or another, it was clearly something he actually wanted to do, or he would have just dropped out when he flunked his first senior year.

but he didn't. he tried again. and again. those aren't the actions of someone who couldn't care less if they get a diploma or not. the whole school thinks he's a freak, he goes through the embarrassment every day of being the 20-year-old super-duper senior, but he does still go to school.

idk whether it might be partly on his uncle's suggestion (wayne seems to want the best for eddie and that probably means getting some qualifications), or whether he wants to do it for himself (to prove that he could, in fact, do it) but either way, instead of dropping out when he so easily could have (especially after his 2nd try) he didn't.

and this is why i so desperately wanted to see him graduate. it wasn't just about "getting out of this dump" (which he could have done years ago by dropping out) it was about proving he could do it, that he could accomplish this mile stone and then move on.

#eddie munson #stranger things 4 #god i love him so much #and i will never forgive that he didnt get to walk that stage #disclaimer. i do not think its bad to not graduate hs first time around #the school system isnt suited to a lot of people #and academic achievement is not the be all end all by any means #but. eddies situation #for whatever reason. he wants to graduate. and that means going through senior year 3 times for him #hs is often terrible and there would be people there that think hes a total idiot for being 20 and still trying to graduate #but the thing is is that he still does it #instead of being embarrassed (as far as we see) he sticks it out and is willing to keep trying #the big thing is #he doesnt have to do this #he could have dropped out and probably still been in a similar position career wise (esp. in the 80s) #so like please god i just wanted to see him graduate #yeah maybe music is his dream but graduating clearly meant somethin g to him too

do u think it’s weird for an 18 and 21 yr old to date?

Yeah tbh. These are such big years for us. Me rn at 21 is so different from me at 18. You could argue that there’s a 21 year old out there who’s just as sheltered as an 18 year old—and to that I say probably, because there are exceptions to every case. But most 21 year olds have had more experience w relationships than 18 year olds. I would side eye any 21 year old who’d see it as appealing to date someone who’s 18. Just not appropriate to me

#Am I being harsh like idk #My friends and I know a guy who’s 23 and dating someone who juuust turned 19 #And everyone dogs on him for it and thinks it’s weird #And like I Agree bc why are you at the age to be a college senior dating someone who just graduated hs? Idk like 3 years aren’t many but #They’re so big for us bc of the transitions we do during them #I can actually never look at an 18 year old and think I could date them 💀💀 #They automatically get little brother zoned I fear #ask

I just realized he's gonna have been in action for 6 years in a couple months

So i did the reasonable thing and drew a scene from almost 6 years ago when he first started

That's also why his hair is this weird color, he tried to color over the blue, but the hair didn't really take the color well (it only laater for a couple weeks then it was back to blue)

Becoming Spiderweb was a big leap of faith for both him and his alter ego. But it was by far the best delicious he made. Together Together rescuing Coy.

feeling nostalgic

#I MISS IT SO MUCH #like yeah going from the first bits of covid in senior year of hs #to self isolating in a college dorm room completely alone with no real friends sucked at times #but GOD it was such a good era #i will forever be chasing the feelings the early dsmp streams gave me #dream smp #dreamwastaken #dsmp

headcanon: getting together

Penn and Sashi get together first (obvi) and after years of mutual pining for Boone, they decide to ask him to join their relationship. They’re already sophomores in college when they finally work up the courage. They’re laying on the couch at Boone’s place, Sashi laying against Boone’s side and Penn on the other, when they speak up over a boring part of whatever movie they were watching. Penn stumbles thru a little speech and Sashi is more blunt, but definitely nervous and blushing furiously. Boone is quiet for a little while, scaring them both. He looks between his two best friends nestled into his sides (as they did literally every time they sat together) and very earnestly says, “We weren’t already a thing??”

#penn zero #penn zero part time hero #pzpth #boone wiseman #sashi kobayashi #odyssey polycule <333 #headcanon #mod skip #fun fact: originally this headcanon had them only in their senior year of hs for this scenario #but I was like…no. I want it to marinate. 50k words slowburn miscommunication pining idiots there’s only one bed

i was reading an article at work the other day about the integration of a.i. into the classroom, and the reason it sounded off-putting to me was not general fearmongering about a.i., but because the article and the professor quoted weren't really interrogating the reasons why students are going to use a.i. whether you want them to or not. the article was more interested in listing the positives of integrating a.i. into your lesson plans, which i understand, but the reason kids are going to use a.i. to write their papers and whatnot is not because they're lazy or don't know how to search/brainstorm/etc, it's because school at the paper-writing level takes up so much goddamn time in the day, piles on so much fucking homework, and then insists on extracurriculars in ways that are just inhumane. implementing a.i. into lesson plans so high schoolers & college kids can skip steps like research and brainstorming is just a bandaid on the gaping wound that is students being treated so miserably they barely have time to sleep or eat. i don't foresee this teaching students how to spot disinformation or cite sources properly, i foresee this teaching students the only thing they're good for is overwork.

Natsuki Is So Much More Than His Ditzy Behavior: Part 2

In June of Natsuki's route in Repeat LOVE, Natsuki explains why he applied to the idol program at Saotome Gakuen despite being lauded as a genius violinist — and later violist — in his childhood.

The dialogue text is pretty long, so it'll go under the cut.

Note: I transcribed the Japanese manually from the Switch port, but I'm only human. All translations are my own.

【来栖　翔】:「おかえり〜。じゃねぇよ、この天然スケコマシ！まったく、お前は昔から……」 【来栖　翔】:「あ…………。悪い……昔のことは、あんまり言わない方がよかったか……」 昔？ 【四ノ宮那月】:「ん？……昔って？」 【来栖　翔】:「だから……ほら、あれだよ、小学校ん時のさ……ヴァイオリンのコンクール、控え室……一緒だったろ、俺と……」 【来栖　翔】:「お前、ぼけっとしてて、自分の出番も忘れてて、でも、ステージに立ったら、女子にキャーキャー言われてさ……」 【来栖　翔】:「それから……その……。すごかった……。俺なんか絶対勝てないかっこいい演奏だった……」 【四ノ宮那月】:「んーーーーー？おかしいですねぇ。記憶にありません。確かにヴァイオリンもやっていましたが」 【四ノ宮那月】:「翔ちゃんと出会っていたら絶対覚えていると思うのに……。うーーん」 【来栖　翔】:「てんめぇ、俺なんか、眼中にねぇってことかよっ」 【四ノ宮那月】:「そ、そうじゃなくて……ごめん。あの頃の記憶ってすごく曖昧で……。だから……、自分でもよくわからなくて」 【来栖　翔】:「お前がヴァイオリンやめて、ヴィオラをやり始めたって聞いた時もショックだったけど……」 【来栖　翔】:「でも、お前のヴィオラを聴いて、悔しいけど、感動した。だから、それでもいいかって思った」 【来栖　翔】:「それなのに……。なんで……。なんでそれすらやめちゃったんだよ」 【四ノ宮那月】:「それは……。それは……僕が弱いから……」 【来栖　翔】:「え…………？」 【四ノ宮那月】:「ヴィオラはとても奥深くて……。どれだけ頑張っても自分で納得のいく音は出せなくて」 【四ノ宮那月】:「でも……みんなは僕の中途半端な音を褒めてくれて。それで十分だって……」 【四ノ宮那月】:「僕がどんなに違うって言っても、誰もわかってくれなくて……。誰も僕のしたい音を教えてはくれなかった」 【四ノ宮那月】:「答えのない道をただひたすらに進むのかとそう……思ったら、すごく怖くなったんだ。その道は果てしなく長くて、遠い……」 【来栖　翔】:「……那月……」 【四ノ宮那月】:「ホントいうとね。今も怖いんだ。アイドルが歌うのを見て、すごく楽しそうで、僕もあんな風に音を楽しめたらって」 【四ノ宮那月】:「そう思って、この学校を受験したんだ。でも……。歌にも正解なんかない。自分で作っていくしかないってって気がついた」 【四ノ宮那月】:「でも……。でもね……。今、僕はひとりじゃないから」 【四ノ宮那月】:「あなたが……。そして翔ちゃんがいてくれる。誰かがそばにいて、一緒に悩んでくれる」 【四ノ宮那月】:「それがすごく嬉しくて。頑張ろうって……。頑張れるって思ったんだ。今度は答えを見つけられそうな気がするから」

Kurusu Syo: Don't "I'm back~" me, you airheaded Casanova! Jeez, you've always been like this. Syo: Ah...... Sorry. Maybe I shouldn't talk about the past. The past? Shinomiya Natsuki: Hm? The past? Syo: Like... You know, back when... we were in elementary school... At a violin competition. We were... in the same waiting room, you and me. Syo: You were spacing out and forgot your turn. But when you got on the stage, all the girls were screaming for you. Syo: And then... You... You were amazing. I thought I'd never win against your performance. Natsuki: Hmmmmmmm? That's weird. I don't remember. It's true I used to play the violin, though. Natsuki: But I'd totally remember if I met you back then. Bummer. Syo: So you didn't even pay attention to me, huh? Natsuki: That's— not what I meant... Sorry. My memories from back then were a blur... So... I don't really know myself. Syo: It was a shock to me when I found out you quit playing the violin and started playing the viola... Syo: But when I heard your viola, even though it was frustrating, I felt so moved by it. So I wondered if you were okay with that. Syo: But even then... Why... Why did you quit that too? Natsuki: That's... Because I'm weak... Syo: Huh......? Natsuki: There's so much to the viola... No matter how hard I worked, I couldn't play the way I wanted to. Natsuki: But... everyone praised my half-hearted playing. They said it was enough... Natsuki: No matter how much I said that wasn't it, no one understood me. No one could teach me how to play the way I wanted. Natsuki: When I... thought about continuing to devote myself to a path without a destination, I felt so scared. The path seems so long and endless... So far away... Syo: ... Natsuki... Natsuki: To tell the truth, I'm scared even now. When I saw idols singing and looking like they were having so much fun, I thought I could be like that too. Natsuki: That's what I thought, so I applied to this school. But... there's no right answer in this kind of music either. I've realized that I have to make it on my own. Natsuki: But... You know... I'm not alone anymore. Natsuki: 'Cause you're here... And Syo-chan, too. There's someone with me to think things through. Natsuki: It makes me so happy. When you say, "Let's do it together," I feel I can do it. Because this time, I can find the solution.

From the conversation, you can see kid!Natsuki felt lonely as a genius violinist, so he decided to move to the viola, but it didn't work either. It pained him to keep playing string instruments because things weren't working out for him.

#uta no prince sama #shinomiya natsuki #natsuki shinomiya #n plays utapri #my translations #utpr: repeat love #man i relate to him so bad #like i went from being the top student in my hs class and going on a full academic scholarship in a STEM program in college #and doing undergrad research to potentially go to a graduate program #but i quickly burned out in my junior year and was about to off myself coming into senior year #that was when i stumbled upon doing translation and self-studied japanese to N1 level #now i'm not sure if i'd go back into academia #but at least i'm in a happier place #and nacchan helped me get there in a way

it's very funny whenever i see ppl talk about les mis as an old fixation from years ago when they were younger bc like this just happened to me in 2023 when i was 20 years old. in some ways being into les mis as a kid/younger teenager is such a specific fun vibe but i cant imagine what it would've been like... like i wouldve been crazier in both correct and incorrect ways

#another thing is that it only recently fully occurred to me that many people have read world aint ready while being the same ages #or younger than the characters #which is crazy to me like one part of that fic that's so compelling is that it gets me reminiscing about high school #and being like i was so crazy in high school. these people are so crazy. that's how it is #like it's so endearing #txt #ok not to go off on a tags tangent but #i didnt go to prom my junior year bc no one cared about prom #and i didnt go my senior year bc covid #so one thing about war to me is that i have to suspend my disbelief about prom being a big deal. but that's ok #however i DID go to queer prom junior year. another thing i have to suspend my disbelief about with war is homophobia existing #like my high school had a queer prom.. #i got my bestie who i went to hs with to read war and she had the same commentary

[hdmiports]

she is judging your outfit in math class btw.

#🔅 #will i post this gameplay? no. probably not #i just like her #in my mind she’s a senior and the senioritis set in when she was born lol #i just wanna goof around with hs years #ts4 cas #ts4 lookbook #show us your sims #would you guys ever know that i used my old money horse girl as a base for her lol

You like vocaloid stuff, so have you ever played Project Sekai? Curious what you'd think of it/its characters.

during its first launch i played it pretty religiously for like 2 months. i really liked the musical theatre guys theyre funny (in general i love boy + girl combos in things that usually are girl centric (this is why idolmaster crossbranch content rules), musical theatre guys edge out the other group for being funny)

i have no substantial thoughts on anyone else EXCEPT i cannot stand anyone in 25ji or whatever theyre called. except mizuki theyre chill but everyone else in it annoys me so bad like damn … every time i see someone say a story update they have its always some insane shit like if this was actually going down on vocatwit half the group would have the craziest callouts. mizuki get out of there

crypton vocaloidwise my interest goes kaito = meiko > luka > rin > [MASSIVE POWERGAP] len = miku

#hiding this in the tags but basically 2 months in i entered a stage of mental unwellness that lasted a long time #and i stopped playing. When i tried picking it up after that long period subsided months later it viscerally reminded me of bad things #and with no hate to the game i just dont like it because it reminds me of a bad period of my life #like its shut down now but original llsif i played seriously in freshman year of hs and tried playing again in senior year #And it reminded me so much of Better Times that i had to stop playing. Like down to the UI SOUNDS unlocking memories lol. #idk why im like that. Lol #again no hate to proseka but i will probably never touch it again/i actively avoid it bc it just makes me feel bad #tldr - imagine a lone so fucked up and evil #no ones reading all these tags its just late and im tired and want to say something before bed #loneask

society if hoo had them at uni age and the lost trio went to chb and chiron is like "how tf are ANY of u alive and unclaimed". wilderness was just community college.

#on a serious note this changes a lot actually. annabeth and percy would not be in chb anymore so when percy goes missing #its like. a genuine possibility and fear because demigods don't make it that old. there is also some added time between tlo and tlh as well #further adding to jasons isolation as being even WEIRDER than everyone else. he also would've been praetor for longer so maybe the romans #wouldve cared more. this also does away with the plot hole of ppl not giving a shit that jason piper and leo (and dylan) straight up #dipped. introducing piper especially to a summer camp makes chb less appealing because they're too old for that and thus makes their #departure from chb make more sense in toa. yet also it opens up the possibility of new rome uni.... which i cannot see any reason as to why #leo would not go there!!!!! outside of being banned cuz he bombed new rome lol. but pipers sexuality arc works for college too!!! ur never #too old to find urself. but also this is the question of if you are able to relatively function in society (this is more for piper leo fran #and i guess percy) then why would you even fight this prophecy??? anyway lol them being college aged is perfect cuz percy is literally #going to a new place and having a new transition with new ppl... like u do in college LOL. now the question is would hazel still be 13. nic #is a lot older at this point and perhaps has the same age gap as bianca and him did 🤔 cant remember. but also don't know why hazel was 13 #in the first place lol. idk. in my college hoo she is just a senior in hs about to graduate from spqr and thinking about staying there or #possibly going to newru after seeing frank make the decision the previous year! SAD! #anyway in hoo. percy and annabeth are sophomores. frank and the lost trio are freshman. #but then in toa. percy annie frank and the lost trio are all graduating cuz percy got held back and Annabeth failed after tartarus fr. #but then also know that piper never went to newru and is adamant about going to mortal uni. and leo kills in newru but is bored. nvm i #forgot he died 🧍‍♂️ ummmmmm ok. ignore leo. and jason actually. so um. ok that really threw me off but are u getting it. that's when apollo #is like 'heeyyyyy i need help pwease 🥺' and they're all like 'dude.' #OK! #but also i ackowedge that this is a children's book and i am not its demographic so god be with you.

havent gotten to the "frankenstein & slavery" part of dangerous bodies yet, but i still find it so funny that the blatant, unprompted islamophobia and orientalism just smacks you in the face and then immediately the story barrels straight ahead into the creature having the worst time of his life because he can actually comprehend his suffering like hold on a minute! hold on a minute now!

#i read it senior year of hs for the first(?) time and was like WOAH #and when i brought it up in class discussions my peers were like idk i dont think its important and i was just sitting there like... #bitch are you DUMB? #you think an author of a story that centers around existentialism and humanity dehumanizing other humans...isnt important? #like um!
