#or possibly next year

[jakemyboy]

My Blu Blu, I still love him dearly. But I'm so upset right now. Apparently the new style harness is not magic. He got around the first corner so well....and then stopped. No pleading, treat luring, comforting, acting excited to go forward, dragging a few inches, would change his mind. There were no scary sounds. I'm going back to his old harness, I saw potential for this style to slip over his head. I walked a 90 pound Jake on Blu's old harness, in all situations, and Jake was a mighty freight train of a puller, lunger and spinner, and never once did I feel that harness had potential to slip off. What will be will be, maybe there will be days like the last two where he walked confidently. As long as he is happy to go out there at all, I suppose that is a good thing.

#blu❤️ #i was trying to pull him out of a low shrub where there was cat poo #the thing started to go over the back of his head #that is not acceptable #ughhhh #why!!!! #i just want to walk my doggie #i need a big yard where he can roam #if the winds of fate blow our way that could actually happen this year #or possibly next year #he is just turning five on tuesday #hopefully many good years left

i was hoping to make a post like this under happier circumstances, but here goes.

as some of you know, everything with the cancellation and renewal campaign has happened right on top of the worst part of my mom's cancer treatment (plus the show was cancelled on my actual birthday 💀). i won't go into details, but it's been tough. lots of ups and downs, mostly downs, luckily ending (for now) on as much of an up as circumstances allow. the whole thing has been weirdly tied to the cancellation for me, kind of amplifying every feeling. the grief got mixed up, and there was so much of it - mourning the loss of the kind of future i thought i'd have with my mother and the time we might not get, mourning the end of a show that means so much to me and is such a big part of my life. different types of grief, sure, and of different magnitudes, but in one big ugly swirl. i sort of had a breakdown right at the start of february, and it was because of news about my mom, but it morphed into my brain telling me everything i'd ever written was shit and wanting to delete it all. stuff like that, spilling over.

anyway. i was holding off on writing this post to see if the show got picked up by someone else. but i still want to say it. because what also spilled over was the support and community from this fandom, and being in this space (despite the rough times and high emotions) helped me through it, because of all of you here. whether we talk regularly, or you left a comforting reply or simply a like on one of my posts about having a hard time (i tried to keep them few), or wrote a nice comment on a fic, or said something funny or nice or insightful in the tags of a gifset, or was active here (or on twt) in any way, talking/sharing/creating stuff about the show - THANK YOU.

you all helped me through all the ups and downs, and i am so grateful. thank you for being here, listening, distracting, helping me feel some joy despite the horrors. i love you and i love this incredible show and all it has brought and will continue to bring and inspire, and although it should go without saying, i'm not going anywhere. just do me a favor and give yourself a big ol' hug from me, and know that you made a difference for some random guy on the internet (but in reality for many more, and for this fandom as a whole, just by being here and being you) 💕

#🐭📓 #oh wow this got long #i grieved so much in january and never truly got my hopes up even though i of course wished something would happen #that the second “cancellation” message did not hit me as hard as it did for others - like i'd already absorbed that reality #but no matter what. all the effort was worth it - even for just the slightest chance of renewal and showing the cast and crew all the love #and seeing the fandom rally and all the fun moments we found along the way in a shitty situation none of us wished to be in #and for the record - i don't think this means there is no possibility of anything happening in the future #i just think the current/immediate negotiations fell through due to the current streaming landscape #you never know what can happen even if nothing happens for years #it's just that it's not happening right now and we shouldn't be at the edge of our seats. but instead settle into long term fandom mode #instead of constant campaign mode. keep showing all our love for the show and letting it inspire us and move us #and keep supporting the cast and crew in their next works #there is so much more to come from the same creative minds #and i for one am looking forward to experiencing it with you all 💗 #ok i will stop rambling now skdjfhdjks

me talking about my 12k year-spanning time travel fic: okay so like mei has to embed her soul stones into her back to avoid losing them and to maintain a low profile because she has to keep assimilating into other civilizations tha tdon't have soul stones yet and and

#ffxiv #final fantasy xiv #warrior of light #meisui delamere #my art #so its this au right where at the end of ultima thule dynamis shenganagins happen #and mei gets sent back to right after the sundering #and spends the next 12k years tagging along with emet-selch in the hopes of making his life a little less fucking miserable #and its just the most fucked up codependent morally deteriorating relationship possible in which they both become utterly reliant on the ot #other in different & equally messy ways and he spends a good few thousand years jst thinking of her as azem's familiar and then HIS familia #i promise itll get posted one day i swear

It’s really funny when people are like - but JK hung out with x person 10 times this year! - and it’s like, okay, and then he chose to spend the next 18 months, 547~ days with Jimin? 😭 You might really want to rethink that argument friend. JK had other options, other people he could have gone with, other programs he could have tried for, a later date he could have enlisted on, and yet he chose JM, and vice versa. They didn’t even have to enlist with anyone, they could have gone individually like everyone else in the group. No one was expecting them to enlist together. And this is also probably the furthest thing there is from company content or fanservice considering we’re not even going to be seeing them for the next 18 months and I doubt they’ll even talk about their time in the military. It’s just so silly. “JK and JM were never together this year!” buddy, they’re literally together RIGHT NOW 😭

#jikook #I don’t agree with the ‘they didn’t see each other all year’ thing btw #I just think it’s a really funny argument #considering the circumstances #like oh they’re going to be seeing a lot of each other #and pretty much no one else for the next 18 months pal #so where does that leave us #I'm already halfway through making another rant post 🤓 #finally spent a day catching up on everything #sorry for possible future tag spam #maybe I’ll even post my JK promo dissertation for good measure #and sorry if this seems like i'm trivializing the military #that is definitely not my intent

not to be annoying about VHS christmas carols against but i’m gonna be bc

i can’t stop thinking about something curt said in his interview with james about starkid and how you can see the seams of the production in each performance, and how it adds to the experience, and i think that’s why so many people love starkid. not only is it extremely accessible for people who can’t afford broadway tickets (which are ABSURDLY expensive without a doubt) and exposes people to the joy of performance in a palpable and fun way. its unpolished sometimes, and not every run goes PERFECTLY, but that only elevates the experience.

as a recovering theater kid who’s also a fairly new starkid & tin can bros fan, its imperfections are what drew me in. my first musical i watched (TGWDLM) is AMAZING and still my favorite, but its not perfect, and i wouldn’t have it any other way. imperfections are human, they’re fun stumbles that can be brought up later as something unique that happened at that showing and no other. it shows the seams and doesn’t take you out of it. you hear people improvise lines to make their costar laugh, you see actors try really hard not to break character, you watch someone cry ACTUAL TEARS during a solo, so engrossed that you’re drawn in with them. you become a part of this world for a moment because starkid is nothing but passion and love for their craft, and they show it through ingenuity, creativity, and craftiness.

just like curt said in that same interview, VHS christmas carols is the embodiment of all that. its a small and intimate stage (MY FAVORITES), so the line between actor and viewer is blurred. there’s parts in the digital ticket where you hear clark laugh at a few line readings, which i love so much. it’s simpler than a lot of their other stuff, band wise and set wise, but what they DO have is excellent. the VHS-shaped stage, the play button on the box lids, the CANDLES UGH. they’re all enjoying themselves, putting their entire heart and soul into each performance, and it shows. even the happy songs brought tears to my eyes. seeing that reminded me of how much i loved being in theater and the friends i made doing it.

VHS christmas carols is like a reminder that starkid isn’t just a production company making high quality musicals for us to watch, it’s also a group of dorky friends having the time of their lives on stage.

#i don’t care if its not christmas anymore #i’m gonna keep talking about this musical #starkid #vhs christmas carols #curt mega #hello curt if you see this #which is apparently a possibility i hadn’t anticipated #you were amazing as jim and young scrooge #and i cannot wait to see what you all do next #please do VHS next year too so i can see it #if you’re not curt uhhhh #i love you #drink some water #start off your year well :)
