#so I was doing themed nails

[victory-cookies]

just spent like four hours painting the spongebob clouds on my nails and then going over them in glow in the dark polish so they’d look cool backstage at the show. do they look good? yeah. am I so fucking tired rn? also yeah

#we’re doing the spongebob musical if that wasn’t clear #so I was doing themed nails #but my back and neck hurt real bad bc I’ve been craned over my own hands drawing stupid little flowers for ages #plus I did an ombré ocean background so that was even more time #plus the time it took to get all of the extra polish off of my fingers without accidentally taking off the actual nail art #god I do not have the skill for some of my ambitions

tbh you are so real for talking about the misogyny targeted to mei & other women in the lmk fandom. in general its like people only value mei as: a: the wingman to some basic mlm ship or b: macaque 2.0. its honestly crazy how so many male side characters overshadow her in the fanbase despite not even having a FRACTION of her screen time. idk chat i feel like the reason people dont care about mei but care about some random male side/background character is less because they're inherently more likeable but because some of you view women as inherently less likable. and everyone is always like "mei is so girlboss pussy cunt slay shes the only reason theyre still alive because she keeps them safe from their silly boy shennanigans shes their ultimate wingman shes so badass shes their lesbian best friend i totally paid attention to her when i watched this show LOL" and even ignoring the obvious misogyny here (ie. how people reduce her to being the male characters babysitter) its like... okay... i know mei is cool & badass already... could you name literally ANY other character trait she has. like people just value her as being "the braincell" who can get red son and mk together or something stupid and its like are we having fun still is this still fun. literally every day i go into the mei tag its like "look at mei shes red sons wifey and shes vaguely in the background of this drawing of red son and mk staring into each others eyes #trafficlighttrio am i right oh look shes macaques niece now this post is about ao lie why is it in the mei tag"

and thats literally JUST talking about mei and it doesnt even begin to cover the other female characters. chang'e constantly gets reduced to being red sons aunt/mom/big sister despite them like. not having any actual interactions in the show. lady bone demon constantly gets overshadowed by her minion who has like 2 seconds of screen time, or she gets made into a cartoonishly abusive madwoman who people call lady bitch demon. just in general people act like shes a horrible person for like. being a villain. liks yeah the trying to destroy everything was bad but also she was an antagonist and thats what antagonists do LOL. spider queen gets completely ignored. princess iron fan gets made into a cartoonishly abusive mother so that way red son can have a poor angsty backstory and some male character (usually nezha, macaque, swk) can take care of him.

(also theres just a great deal of ethnocentrism in the lmk fanbase? like im white so take what İ say here with a grain of salt but so many people will misconstrue aspects of chinese culture for their own personal hcs. people will say male characters are transfem or nonbinary while completely ignoring the time period/culture their from where thats the norm. like yippee youve implied that an east asian man is feminine/emasculine because he has long hair. how do you not see the negative connotations with this. people also turn pif (& lbd to an extent) into a dragon lady which obviously has negative racial connotations lol.)

anyway this is where my unhinged rambling ends have a good day have a good night İ had more to say here but İ reached the text limit. İ dont see a lot of people talk about the misogyny thats prevalent in the lmk fanbase so İm glad youre pointing it out lol.

Yeah, I totally hear you. The lmk fandom has plenty of issues with misogyny and, like you said, ethnocentrism. It's definitely something worth having a discussion about, along with these issues in fandom as a whole.

#you seriously hit the nail on the head anon #(feel free to rant more! I appreciated reading yer thoughts) #tbh I think it's the purity culture like #If LBD and SQ were men. They'd be so popular it's not even funny #But because they're women. And women can't be flawed #(or their flaws are harder to justify- unlike a male character like Wukong. So they're a ''bitch'') #But don't worry! There's one girl character we can girlbossify and ignore all of those pesky flaws and characteristics!!! #I'm so sorry Mei #You're not a support character for spicynoodles to me #you're literally so insane about MK it's not even funny #she's going to become my fav character out of spite on god #when she was like ''what's the point of having power if you won't use it?'' #and azure was like ''i did not sacrifice everything to be an idle deity'' #And 1x03 was about her using her family sword (her power) to protect her house #And Azure used his sword (his power) to protect the world #And when Mei modeled her sword after Azure's (and now he's dead) #and when- *gets shot* #also Mei doesn't even have the fucking braincell #None of them have the braincell #They're all dummies. They're all scrambling around doing their god damn best #A main theme is the fact that no one knows what they're doing. Like #idk #lmk #lego monkie kid #torment nexus #asks #anon #lmk Mei

Trent Reznor + Cronenbergian fixation

#nine inch nails #david cronenberg #jstuff #i. tried doing something like this with more comparisons movie screenshots etc #but i was struggling to make like distinct visual comparisons yknow. #so you just have to look at this w an understanding of cronenberg themes #also sorry its so long #i wish you could all see into my brain and understand how deeply i see them connected.

Blorbo thoughts(tm) but this time I’m directing them at you! For all the blorbos!!

I imagine that Eclipses favourite kind of kisses from Agent Neon are hand kisses (several for each hand)

What are Sun & Moon’s fav kinda kisses to receive from Robin? What makes these boys just swoon and melt into a puddle of animatronic? :3

Of course several for each hand! Just one each on only four hands, what kind of research would that be? No no no, to come to any significantly powerful results, of course you gotta pepper the boy in kisses! <3

Sun really likes getting kisses on his mouth - he may not have lips to reciprocate with, but he'll nuzzle back some! He loves how impossible it is to misinterpret those, and as we all know, he loves flaunting all the good he has - Robin definitely is a part of that! Also just a teensy tiny giddy about how small they are, when they pull him down or ask him to lean down, depending on their mood, and how much that proves that they want this, too. But, in quieter moments, without any audience, Robin will sometimes raise their hands while their fingers are just laced together, and then kiss the back of his hand, and it melts him into a puddle every time. He was so scared that they'd be terrified of what those hands can do - the obvious show of affection in all its tender glory just gets to him <3

Moon doesn't really have a preference for the where, but he's a fiend for sleepy kisses. Whether about to fall asleep or just waking up, he loves being close enough for kisses any time Robin sleeps around him (given their nocturnal schedule, it's actually rare for him to see them sleep!). And a tired little bird who can't even try to reach for anything specific, but is so determined to show affection that they just kiss whatever is available to them? Arm, (clothed, sorry) chassis, in some cases even just an awkward chin kiss - he loves it, he eats it up, and he might just pull them closer for more cuddles and kisses as they start giggling at how predictable he is. He doesn't mind predictable - being soft and domestic together took them long enough, some embarrassment won't stop him now <3

#answer let luce #zelda7999 #accidentally undercover #this took a bit because I got distracted doing my nails <3 #guess who's got AU blorbo themed nails now. right. this sucker #also. fun fact. #so the boys nuzzle more than they actually kiss back #which is good for them because Robin doesn't catch on really #until way later when they're like. 'wait. so when you just bury ur face in my hair n nuzzle -' #'yeah that's about the closest we get to a kiss. do you want us to stop?' #'... no. but I'm having a fluster crisis about many other moments in retrospect.' #'good <3' #y'all remember in the AU AU AU drabble Acts of Service Sun nuzzles close for a moment before leaving to grab his shirt for Y/N? #yeah. yeah it was there all along #also. me and my gd research bias coming out. yes im normal and love the idea of flirting by framing it as an experiment

it happened. my little sister has joined the bad buddy fandom.

we watched ep 11, we cried, then proceeded to talk for 3 hours (yes, three!) about bad buddy, im talking the fandom, the fic landscape, then nonstop just analysis, the themes present, the dynamics and relationships, the character building. basically fawning for hours about how incredibly crafted the show is. she’s an english lit major and a fic writer so she goes fucking ham on this kind of stuff, to the point where she said things that even had me shook bc like… not even to see the show through somebody else’s lens, but through someone that understands writing on an academic level and how she applies that appreciates it, it was just so interesting to see the things she picked out and how she applied them.

so yeah, she’s come out of it with a rudimentary fic idea, a dissertation’s-worth of analysis to write and a whole list of taylor swift edits to make, so get ready.

#we got her!!!!!!! #7 months late but we got her #and she’s so down like she fucking gets it #it wasn’t me telling her all this stuff it was her realising all this hidden stuff she could dig out and being like wow this show is amazing #like talking about ep 11 she went ‘pat breaks down the most bc this is the first time we see him with nothing’ and I was like YESSSSS #i can’t get in to everything we talked about bc it was literally over 3 hours nonstop but highlights were like #how pat and pran contrast as characters and why their dynamic works #how the themes of bets make absolute perfect sense in this show and are such a good tool #how you can tell they’ve been shaped by their past and their families #how music is such a overarching theme for them #symbolism through objects and gift giving #narrative structure and how bad buddy nails it #how ohm and nanon’s performance works #how the styling and theming gives weird nostalgia that adds so well #there was way more but it’s all blending together basically just absolutely fawning over everything #i could legit just cry bc… god I miss the bad buddy days and talking about all that stuff and being able to do it again was so much fun #anyway I will hold her to this I will make sure there’s a fic at least #get ready for her bc she’s genius and also fucking hilarious #bad buddy

buried under academic shit and tssm obsession. why?

#im not even doing all my homework 😭😭 #composition takes everything from me #like i spent a whole weekend doing only composition and im STILL not even half ready for tomorrows class bc i want to get it Perfectly Righ #my fishbowl genius bestie deserves only the best and im half dissociating from the Vibe in the process 😔 #anyway. yeah. i aint gon show up much because i have so much shit due every week i barely get to rest. also have chronic no energy illness #not even a burnout bc i fucking love my speciality but just. yeah. wish i could fucking stop the time #(also the basic subjects are shit and i despise them except for english and it classes bc im fucking nailing it and want to learn more) #ALSO yeah tssm.i have So many thoughts on norman but i cant post them because i didnt rewatch season 2 yet. and theres no time for that now #also ALSO i have an analysis of mysterios themes and i want to look into ottos themes but i have to extract #both of those first which idek how to do properly and trying will take ages and im chronically perfectionist so.

im married to the sea 💍

i’ve wanted to get one of these wave rings for years and today I finally got one 🌊 I easily could’ve ordered one online when I first saw these years ago (saw pics on tumblr and insta and fell in love) but I have a thing for wanting things to be sentimental and I really wanted to get one of these wave rings while I was on a beach vacation near the ocean. today I finally got one and I utterly adore it 💙 and it matches so perfectly with my butterfly ring that I’ve had for 10 years now. they’re a perfect match and I’m so so happy! it’s simplistic and beautiful and I love my new ring <3

#bex talks #jasmine talks #also in love with my manicure #I rarely get to have my nails painted because of doing surgeries and on campus they had a rule for us about not wearing gel nails #anyway I was going for an ocean theme for my nails #and now I have the beautiful nails and the beautiful ring #obsessed with my new wave ring #I’m so so happy #today has been a good day

a moment of joy in days of tired darkness!!!

#i complain way too much here so sharing my triumphs <3 #(taking a page from songbird because i want to be more like her) #getting home from work today i was able to get ALL of my chores done!!! #i loooved having my friend stay with me for a week i truly needed the break and she’s such a blessing <3 #(we bought ‘soul sisters’ matching bracelets - hers gold and mine silver - and the statement couldn’t be more true 🥹) #but in that i let my room get VERY messy #and i was busing working yesterday and didn’t have time (literally cried on my way home because of how tired i was) #so i made it a goal to do everything tonight so tomorrow (my one day off) i may relax! #so i was able to clean my room; do two loads of laundry; wash my bedding; vacuum; water my plants; and tidy my bathroom!! #it may not sound like much but it was a MESS #also i did my nails cause they broke :( #so now they are VERY short (had to cut them) and i painted a few coats of clear nail polish so hopefully they won’t break #i have to get gas and get my oil changed and exchange some icecream tomorrow morning #but then i’m just gonna relax!!! #would like to change my themes but we shall see. i want to watch tv and read mostly #also i’m gonna stop in and book a hair appointment for next week!! #that’s right i’m gonna chop off my hair #it’s been years and i didn’t get it trimmed as it was growing out so i have lots of split and dead ends #and if i have to get it cut i may as well just go all the way yknow #i love having short hair and i’m lowkey excited #and i work 6 days after that but thankfully i booked myself for opening shifts which leaves my evenings free to myself which i really love

Decided to do my nails as the same colors as the 1989 vinyl variants leading up until the album’s release.

#it’s weird having my nail colors planned out like that #doing pink/yellow/green/tangerine/eras themed for the movie/blue #unfortunately I don’t have a true tangerine so I’m going to do a coral instead

my most (least) humble apologies to the poor sucker that will be sandwiched between me and 7 of my friends and aquaintances for Oppenheimer this thursday. you chose to be the middle man, my guy. i just chose to plan around you.

#just because we did it for Barbie we're all dressing up theme appropriate for Oppenheimer #i'm talking suspenders and dress pants and dress shirts and fedoras (extra makeup for accentuated eyebags for existential dread) #also i will be painting everyone's nails black right outside the theatre because why the fuck not lmfao #(because we all still have our pink glitter nails from when we went to see Barbie) (Kenny went to /town/ on my hands) #WELL we're doing every other nail black for the full Barbenheimer experience-- we have to keep some of the pink energy #honestly i haven't been this excited about cinema in years (as someone that really does love the experience) so i'm having a lot of fun #i just realized i'm going with 6+ dudes. my friend group is not very varied. huh. #(please let me not be the only one following through *fingers crossed*) #but yeah this one person was just. smack dab in the middle of the best row. i am so sorry my dude. #bug.txt

im obsessed with painting nails again :p

#rambling #no on one here knows probably #but i was OBSESSED with painting my nails in highschool #im talking proper nail art #i'd change them every week :> #but then i stopped in college bc i had less free time #and i wasnt patient enough to do it anymore #but recently i've gotten into glue on nails #and i can get loads of blank fake nails for pretty cheap #and tons of stickers. and little metal charms and plastic flowers <3 #so i can paint them when i have time. and glue them on when i feel like wearing them <3 (which at this point is all the time kjdnfkjnsdf) #like for the past month i've changed my nails every week #with maybe a few days in between where i just done wear any :P #and im LIVING!!! <333 #i get to be creative again with my little canvases <3 #between today and yesterday i painted 3 sets of nails 🤡 #i did a beach themed set today that im really excited to put on 😊 #i just bought a bunch of gel nail polishes. and im thinking about getting more ksdnjkds #i'll definitely be posting pics of my cute nails in the future so thats something everyones gonna have to deal with lmao
