Do I have time to write this? I will try. So at first I saw the title Haegeum and I thought okay so this either means something to do with Sun (해) and gold/money (금) OR its some oldass Korean word I don't know which is highly possible because Yoongi loves being smartboy hours and teaching us all something. BOY AM I HAPPY TO REPORT I WAS WRONG AND HERE'S WHY:
While my initial guess was wrong, the secondary one was completely correct. The geum actually comes from 금지 which means forbidden or banned, and the word 해금 together means "the lifting of a ban". This is in reference to the repeated line in the song and it being about self-imposed chains of being chronically online, chronically exposed to the rhetoric, controversy, censorship, and toxicity. But it's ALSO the name of a Korean traditional string instrument. Not only is one playing in the beat, but this instrument has an interesting history. Due to being cheap and portable and considered "not a real string instrument because you play it with a bow" (read: low brow) it was often played by beggars and earned the title the "Pauper's Instrument". This reinforces the themes of money, greed, and rich vs. Poor we often see in Yoongi's work, including in this song. Interestingly as well, the instrument pushed aside in favor of more ~classy~ string instruments like the gayageum until recently it has seen a resurgence due to popular music made by several people. Of course, Yoongi loves putting traditional Asian instruments in his music so again it fits perfectly that he'd be aware of this trend, history, and happy to jump in.
Don't even get me started on the lyrics and video. That's gonna have to be another post.

My nephew is watching Star Wars for the first time. And I'm trying so hard to not like nerd out and explain every single thing that is happening in the movies, and just talking the whole freakin time, because I know so much stupid backround star wars knowledge it's silly 😂😅. But anyway he has only seen episode one so far and liked it. So that's a nerd win for me!

One of the really cool things about Goncharov (1973) is that Ice Pick Joe is literally just a character out of Giallo film. It’s something you’d absolutely miss unless you were a fan of Italian cinema, but it’s really obvious if you are one.
Think about it, every time Joe goes to kill someone, he puts on a pair of black gloves. His signature weapon, the ice pick, is also pure Giallo stylings. Also notice that every time we see him kill, it’s also from his perspective. The focus is on the gloved hands and on the victim’s face.
Giallo is ultimately a subgenre of the thriller or murder mystery, though, so you’d think that the effect would be lost a bit since we know it’s Ice Pick Joe committing the killings despite never seeing him do it, but hear me out.
I know this is crackiest of crack theories, but it’s true. Rewatch the movie. We never see Ice Pick Joe actually kill anyone with his pick. It’s always referenced or shown from first person, and the timeline lines up such that Katya could have committed any of those killings. I realize this is probably not true, but it’s really funny how Matteo and Scorsese played with the Giallo formula with one single character, while this big mafia drama is happening in the background.
It’s genuinely great filmmaking, though. If you were to show me just the scene where we first meet Joe, and it’s all from first person, black gloves and ice-pick in hand, and he kills the Naples police detective that’s onto Andrey’s smuggling business, and then told me it was done by Dario Argento or something, I’d have believed you.

Resident Evil Fragrances
I had to do this. What fragrances would Resident Evil characters wear? I did some research and this is what I found! Please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas about these picks as well :)
Claire Redfield 
Tumblr media
ABBOT Papaya Isla 
-Claire is a very sweet woman. I wanna squeeze her pretty face and give it kisses. In return, she would probably bust my ass. Upon first glance, she has an innocence to her, but that woman can kill without blinking. Therefore, this fragrance of exotic florals, papaya, and ambrox play on both her loving side and a tad bit of her “eat shit and die” side.
Chris Redfield 
Tumblr media
Valentino Uomo Intense 
-This man has probably worn the same fragrance for his entire adult life. I can’t imagine he bought this himself. It was likely a partner, or a friend, who got this for him as a gift and he’s worn it ever since. Regardless, they matched him spot-on with mandarin orange, iris, vanilla and leather. This is a sexy, masculine scent that has everyone swooning (including me).
Leon Kennedy
Tumblr media
Bleu De Chanel 
-I will die on the “Leon is a clean boy” hill. As soon as he gets back from a mission, the first thing he wants to do is shower. This combination of woody notes, lemon, mint, and pineapple are the ultimate fresh boy experience. After he cleans off the zombie guts, he sprays this and everyone is on him. A clean Leon is a very happy Leon.
Ada Wong
Tumblr media
Initio Absolute Aphrodisiac 
-I had to go in for her. She’s a very sexy and mysterious heartbreaker. Girl has her reasons for doing the shit she does and I know she doesn’t care about others opinions. This girl is vanilla with a sharp edge of amber, leather, and musk. A bad girl in a tight, red dress will want some baddie elegance, hence this is her ultimate weapon. 
Ashley Graham 
Tumblr media
Jousset Accident À La Vanille 
-Ashley is young, flirty, and clearly the damsel in distress (there, I said it). However, she carries herself well and has some kind of faith in the world. This fragrance is rather pricy, but she’s the president’s daughter, so who cares. She is going to smell like a creme-saver as this fragrance is nothing but vanilla on vanilla on a splash of sandalwood. 
Luis Sera
Tumblr media
H Habibi Honeyed Tobacco & Oud
-Luis is a tricky fellow, but I managed to pin down a fragrance I think he’d like. Man oozes sensuality, yet you can also pick up on the levels of distain in his tone at times. Notes of honey, sweet tobacco, and oud combine everything that Luis exudes and at a price everyone can enjoy (wink wink). Tell me you wouldn’t crave his scent and I know you’d be lying.
Merchant (for fun)
Tumblr media
Fantomas Nasomatto 
-Okay, this isn’t a conventional fragrance by any means, but Merchant doesn’t seem like the guy to buy into fashionable perfumes. I would imagine his natural scent is similar to this Nasomatto with notes of gunpowder, earth, a few sweet notes, and smoky patchouli. Dude sells weapons and my personal headcanon is that he sucks on candies throughout the day, hence the slight sweetness.

thoughts on TYPE MOON stuff
well these are my the type moon stuff i have read or watched or whatever so far. this is my opinion only so its inherently correct argue with the wall or touch grass as the youth say SO here it goes drum roll
FATE EXTRA
boring as shit. no joke im sorry its just booty cheeks but of the not sexy kind. its beyond mid its so mid i cant even act like i enjoyed it. it has an interesting concept and world sure but everything else is doo doo butter.
only good part is nero being hot asf and ig whatever servant there is because i only used nero (lmao i aint playing it all over again) she was funny at times
Tumblr media
see shes hilarious at times... im sure CCC will change my mind... right? it has sakura what am i saying its PEAK
also fuck them for including arcueid in this crap
GARDEN OF SINNERS
i honestly dont have much to say about this one it never really clicked with me nor did i ever feel anything about it... BESIDES TOUKO
TOUKO IS SO HOT OMG
clears throat
that aside yea i genuinely dont have any opinion on this series of movies good or bad besides movies 3 and 5 which were my favorites
Tumblr media
maybe i need to rewatch em one day and really try to get into it
FATE STRANGE FAKE
my favorite spin off in the whole fate franchise. it has some of my absolute favorite characters and GIL like what else would one even want in life amirite
some of my favorites are:
Richard: the absolute goat and one of my fav servants ever
Enkidu: i want a spinoff of gil and enkidu... is that so hard to ask??
Flat: my son
Jack: my uhhh child ig
alcides: the closest we will get to archer herc but just pure cool regardless
hansa: cyborg priest. nothing gets cooler then that
and many more im already too ti- FILIA - red to mention
i've only read up to volume 7 so i gotta get to reading the rest soon
its just pure chaos and is fun while doing so despite being slow as shit
Tumblr media
FATE GRAND ORDER
ok this is the most complicated series here in a way since its so incredibly mixed.
there are some of the highest peaks in fate and then some of the lowest lows so lets see
Highest peaks:
babylonia
Camelot
lb5 (YES olympus and atlantis im tired of acting like olympus isnt peak NO heian kyo its mid)
LB6
the rest of the lostbelts are good but not that good
goetia is an incredible villain
lowest lows:
first five singularities
solomon im sorry the stuff with goetia was peak but the rest was average
gameplay
gacha
serious lack of male summer servants like cmon i wanna see them abs
overall fgo is alright but some parts of it is straight up incredible HOWEVER all of it is seriously held back by being a gacha mobile game and has to work around that limitation
also it has barghest whom i absolutely adore
also fuck fgo for forgetting medea...
Tumblr media
WITCH ON THE HOLY NIGHT
now this is peak. the most gorgeous tm work by far i have to say its simply an incredible read all around. even tsukire did not look or work or sound as good as mahoyo did even tho it came out almost ten(?) years after
on the story front i loved it too with a special shoutout to soujuuro being one of my favorite characters in TM (i say this often not my fault type moon keeps releasing bangers)
however mahoyo has two issues for me:
the story is clearly incomplete: i dont mean its just nonsense or whatever but when nasu said its the first of a trilogy you can just feel that in the story with alot of things being left in the air. this wouldnt be an issue really if mahoyo 2 wasnt basically dead....
i didnt vibe with the slice of life scenes as much as i usually do in nasu works: this isnt a flaw in the story more so i just didnt like em idk how else to word that
mahoyo is a great read however and i highly highly recommend you read it or else
it also has touko enough said
Tumblr media
TSUKIHIME (original version)
Greatest of all time. Zenith of the medium. Hallmark of media. Gold standard of storytelling. Apogee of creativity. Vertex of invention. Crest of ingenuity. Acme of imagination. Pinnacle of innovation. Epic of epics. Legend among legends. Peak fiction
ok fr tho its actually incredible and you should read it right the fuck now
all of the characters are simply chefs kiss. while the visual novel is incredibly dated and the art is even worse you have to understand this is nasu and takeuchis first ever visual novel made on a barely existing budget.
boy do they make up for that.
the vn is split into two with a near side and far side.
while the near side is really good with arcueid and ciels route (ignore how ciel was actually really fucked over even in her own route its laughable and my girl deserved better) the far side is so much more better and really is where the soul of tsukihime and shiki the main character lies
i cba to review it properly besides saying PLEASE READ IT RN or ill cry and you dont wanna see that do you....
heres my ranking of the routes btw best to worse:
hisui
kohaku
akiha
arcueid
ciel
shoutout to satsuki you finally are gonna get the route you deserved
Tumblr media
KAGETSU TOHYA
um it has some cool lore and some really good short stories and... yea thats about it...
dont have much else to add...
play it with a guide because the structure of the game is abysmal
Tumblr media
FATE STAY NIGHT
what is there to be said about such a masterpiece? what else could be written about fsn that hasnt been written before? i am but an ant in the shadow of the giant that is FSN only seeking some crumbs to feed and live off of. idk what that means but it sounds cool.
FSN is simply tms best work all around. while i prefer tsuki over it and find the tsuki side of TM more interesting FSN overall is much stronger on most fronts but especially its main characters
Shirou emiya is simply the goat nothing else to be said tbh
heres my ranking of the routes:
issei route
heavens feel
ubw
fate
FATE ROUTE MUST BE REANIMATED RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SABER DESERVES TO HAVE A PROPER ADAPTATION RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
we need more medea and kuzuki holy shit are they cute
Tumblr media
FATE HOLLOW ATARAXIA
thank you type moon for making a good kagetsu tohya. its actually impressive just how much better this is then KT like seriously what the fuck did they take to drop this banger of a vn
KT had such shit comedy i didnt even giggle throughout it but THIS
THIS is a emotional rollercoaster of a whole different kind.
introducing the third (arc and medea are first and second) love of my life Bazett and angra we go through an incredible main story intermingled with hilarious and wholesome slice of life scenes that never overstay their welcome
this vn completely changed my opinion on some characters especially illya who went from someone i was kinda 50/50 on to adoring her overall
ALSO MEDEA SCENES YES I WON MOTHERFUCKERS I WO- huh? whats that? fgo basically replaced her with medea lily?
one hour of sobbing later
if you have read fsn and not FHA then i must ask you.. wtf is wrong with you psycho? you like missing out on good things? that wouldnt be me is all im saying
read it.
(in case you're wondering yes there is someone i deliberately didnt mention because my opinion on them is too complicated)
Tumblr media
TSUKIHIME REMAKE
im not a fan of remaking classics on the level of tsuki. with all its flaws i still find the original to be good enough to not need a remake...
UNTIL I READ THE REMAKE
this is how you do it folks. the story was elevated on nearly every level and if it was the complete story id say its the best ever in existence ever forever fr. its just that good.
there are three things i really want to point out:
while maybe goin overboard i really liked the buffs all the characters received and in general the whole worldbuilding is so much better now with idea bloods and principles and vampire hierarchies and arcueid inflation scenes (heh) its just epic
ciel got a so much better route that actually feels like a ciel route and not just arcueid route 2 electric bugaloo (and getting fucking cucked)
noel is peak
this is peak type moon and when red garden comes out it will be even BETTER especially with satsuki route because satsuki deserves it
Tumblr media
there are some other short stories i havent mentioned like garden of avalon, notes, MAGNITUNING (look it up you wont regret it) its all great and worth the time of reading
eventually i wanna play CCC and read some other stuff like maybe prillya DDD, fgo jp like lb7 traum and whatnot
i just wrote this for fun so dont really take anything i say seriously except for the teeny little part where im inherently correct.
uh if you are reading like or share or whatever tf it was idk
ciao

A bit of a silly one. But have you ever thought of a different colour of each of the girls? Like Green Ruby or Pink Weiss and stuff like that. And based on that... what would monochrome be named with your picks o.o
Okay so not only do I have a color shifted variety of both Blake and Weiss based off of some convos and a nickname from my friend @appledoom47 (i.e. snow miser) but they may as well be different origin tales as well or basically an inch away from just being new OC's but I have Navy Blue and Green variety of them. And I would call them Tritanomaic cause i cant really tell between the colors at times.
Tumblr media
based off color schemes of the Snow Miser and Aztec Jaguar Warrior

I couldn't have asked for better ambiance while writing a vampire Tech fic than to have a solar eclipse occur. Having full sun outside my windows, but 60% less of it, looked so otherworldly and just plain wrong.
When some light clouds went overhead, it got even creepier, but it allowed me to get a pretty decent shot of it!

Hiii!!!! So i play a blaze-human hybrid on adrift smp and really wanna talk about how anatomy works for that species!!!!! (I'm mainly using google and practice as a reference/source, feel free to add on to this:D)
Fire Res:
So due to the climate of the nether, depending on how human the fire tolerance is, there'd be different ways the body would adapt to this, ie a third eyelid (like some birds have) to protect against flames.
If they're really fire resistant, they'd have thicker skin and stronger bones or internal organs, cuz like- fire is extremely strong, somewhat like a sharks skin
If the character had less nether than human, they'd probably have somewhat thick skin, but less than the more nether
Getting around:
they'd possibly have some sort of webbing to get through lava easy cuz lava is really thick, as well as some sort of tail
My character has a demon-esqe tail but you could do a axolotl type one cuz that's just neat and it'd make sense, especially if its a strider-human character. Moving through lava would require lots of effort so the species would have to be strong naturally
They'd definitely have more grippy skin (like when your fingers get wrinkly in water) due to the way the nether is, cuz theres lots of cliffs, climbing, etc. i personally think having pointier feet (like Nifty from Hazbin Hotel) would make movement much easier cuz you can stick easier
Speaking of sticking, i think species like striders would have slightly stickier skin, like fish do when on land, it'd help them stay on top of the lava cuz lava is thicker and it'd be easier (also its just cool)
Sight:
Creatures like blazes would definitely see the world brighter than others, or not have eyes at all just sockets.
A universal would other dimensions like the overworld would be dark to them, especially the end, even with the sun or the stars, it'd be dark to them because they're so used to fires everywhere and lava casting light onto everything, this also means they'd look right at the sun and that'd be it, but at night they'd be almost unable to see at all
This means if a nether species was both living in the overworld and nethe for example, they'd carry around a lantern or torch unless they had a constant fire as part of their body (like blazes or magma cubes)
I have so many more thoughts if y'all want em, also feel free to add to this if you'd like!!!!!!!
(!⚠️i am using google and memory as a source, and this is fantasy, please do not take this as pure fact, im simply saying what i think is cool⚠️!)
