O, what great adventure awaits beyond that horizon?

#miqomarch #miqomarch 2024 #ffxiv #miqo'te #ffxiv gpose #WOL posting #Arsay Nun #arsay's dawntrail fit UvU #its still slightly a work in progress #I want to add the wayfarers necklace to it so arsay can have a tripled necklace look #but it would involve setting up a texture file from scratch to get everything in there #so im waiting until 7.0 to launch to see if the pagos and uraeus stuff gets a texture update right away #kinda hoping the base shirt gets an update on launch so the metal details match the shorts #but its not the end of the world if it doesnt #Arsay is very excited to see tural!! #definitely sad that g'raha isnt coming with and she was a bit of a baby about that at first #but they chatted and everything is fine #just praying shtola and graha show up together since they'd be leaving from the same place :) #idk what will happen character arc wise but i think arsay is focusing more taking in every bit of the journey she can #even the not so fun stuff!! #of course she will still gladly be the hero if people need her to be but im hoping she plays more of a support role to some extent

thinking about yaz post potd being thrown back into her normal life... how she finds it hard to adjust, knowing she'll never see the doctor again or get to go on any of these adventures, wishing she never met her.

and sonya noticing, because she's always been the one to notice when yaz feels like running away. so she spends time with her; ropes her into watching love island, takes her to the national videogame museum, begs her to tell her about her travels. and when yaz's birthday rolls around, she takes her out for dinner.

but when the waitress is drawn in by the silly paper hats sonya made them wear and decides to ask what birthday they're celebrating, yaz and sonya give two different ages. yaz was 19 when she met the doctor, 26 when her doctor died. she never told sonya about the three years she was lost in time, the three sad birthdays she spent wondering whether she would ever see her family again as dan and jericho tried to console her. how could she explain that without her family thinking she finally lost her mind?

sonya begs yaz for answers. pleads for her to explain why she's three years older than she should be. and over the course of their dinner, yaz tells her everything. about the doctor, about graham and ryan and dan and jericho and jack and ruth and their adventures across the universe. and by the time dessert rolls around, they're both crying.

a weight lifts from yaz's chest. sonya hugs her and makes her blow out the candles before they drip onto her sticky toffee pudding. and they leave the restaurant with a new understanding of each other, and the secret knowledge that this is yaz's 27th birthday, not her 24th.

#meeting mandip gill launched me back into my thasmin phase and i have been thinking about this for a week now #i kinda want to write a fic but i'm not sure what i would do... if you have any prompts/ideas please talk to me about it! so many brainworm #yasmin khan #doctor who #sonya khan #lina lore #thasmin

#me? about to use tumblr as a diary again? in 2024? unfortunately:/ #but here have a waterfall i saw on a hike last week as payment #i am sO tired and exhausted emotionally after dating #there's this guy that i fr thought was going to last and be around for a long time. we spent like every moment together that we could for 2 #months straight and if we werent physicaly together we were texting or calling or on ft . just every part of our day had the other in it #not once did i ever feel unwanted undesired or uncared for. not once did i feel that i wasnt sure of his intentions. i felt safer with him #in those 2 months than i ever did with any one else i could think to compare to. #until one day he just didnt think it important to communicate any more. after 3 days of nearly nothing .. hardly any talking . i asked if #he was ok if we were ok. what was going on in his head. he said some ive just been with my buddies and family and havent been on my phone #and just. immediately thats heartbreak yanno. thats :// thats what they say when theres a new girl. but there'd never been a reason to think #there was another girl so i was like ok we're gonna trust bc this dude has been So good in every way. so i said imy but i understand. enjoy #your time with your buddies and with your fam -- i cant wait to hear about it (and hold you) #and i havent heard from him in the 3 weeks since. just randomly #so last night #i send the dreaded 'i miss you' text. #i dont expect to hear back and i accept the hurt that will come with that and the confusion that i've felt settles deeper into my heart #until this afternoon i hop on ig and see a hard launch that was posted an hour after my text was sent #that shit kinda hurt different. but also sent me into a bit of a delirious state where all i could do is laugh bc are you for fucking real #did she see my message? i know it. bc i know him and i know that he wouldnt hide anything from the person he's giving his heart #and his softness to. i can almost imagine how he showed her and promised her theres nothing to worry about #and there really isnt anything to worry about because he genuinely is the type to give his all to the relationship he's in #which feels silly to say after what happened w us. like no there wasnt a title ever #it sucks to call it a situationship because a month ago we were laughing in bed together about how we could never bc we were all in. #just the timing of the hard launch makes me giggle. did my text push them to have a conversation about what they are. was she really the #reason that he went away on me. #im trying not to blame myself . trying not to think about the phone calls i didnt answer. about what i could have done differently. trying #not to think about where we would be if i didnt let my anxieties hold me back. if i wasnt scared about what he'd think of the parts of me #that i keep hidden just a little bit longer than the rest. #and at the same time im trying not to put him on a pedestal. but that pedestal is just where i wholeheartedly believe he belongs #he set the bar for me. he set the standard. i was never too much. i was never too little. he made me feel perfect just as i am

hey, word of advice to throw into the void

if somebody opens up to you about a conflict that they have, specifically if they open up to you about there being something that they yearn for but know they can't have, and they talk about how their religion is a factor in the 'can't have' aspect, and they open up to you about how they cope with that struggle of something vitally important to them being what bars them from this desire they have

"well, you never know, one day you might stop following your religion! ^_^" IS NOT A CORRECT RESPONSE!!!!

#AAAAAAAAAAA- #I did not really have time to process my emotions about that response at the time #I kinda just launched into 'that is NOT a possibility and HERE'S WHY [justified religious feelings vomit]' #and it didn't turn into a fight or anything everything stayed civil and my point was understood #but I've had time to think about it now and. That was NOT OKAY #THAT WAS RUDE AND INAPPROPRIATE #Like. Imagine if you said 'yeah I really love cats and really really want one but my spouse is allergic so we can't have one' #and the response you got was 'don't give up hope! Maybe someday you'll get a divorce! :D' #THAT'S WHAT IT FELT LIKE

how to launch an album

release it at like 10pm on sunday night [optimal strats]

dont bother to check that the song you mastered in 2024 sits well with the mixes you did in like 2022

realize the next day that it very very much doesnt

make like 3 new versions of the master the next day and quietly upload those until you get it just right

#staywinning

#the good news is i am way better about this kinda shit now because i know that nobody cares as much as i do #i fixed the master for me #nobody else is going to even notice hdsjfdslkfd #5 years ago me would have felt compelled to redo the whole launch because IT WASNT PERFECT #me now is like eh whatever. the version thats up now is good thats what matters #also 5 years ago me couldnt mix for shit so their opinion on this doesnt matter #sorry 5 years ago me i love you. but

Scheming…

#chattin #taking time to draw and write out a relationship/dynamics chart for the thieves and assorted friends #bc theres. alot. and it would be nice to write it out. it would help establish my thoughts about them #its not poly/thieves but its. kind of adjacent to it. but its less shippy and more focused on how they interact- #-and behave with one another. like theyre kinda bonded together over everything. lines get a little blurred but its what works for them #and i think lumping them all together as poly/thieves is a shortcut for breaking down their character #like obv akira has diff relationships for everyone; but how do THOSE people react to others ?? #like pego/ryu is real and true but also ann is absolutely there. u cannot separate them. #theyre the shujin delinquents to me LOL. they are too tightly bound together to let any external relationship split them at this point #akiras not w goro; its akira AND ryuji w goro. like akira and goro would just not work; but ryuji make its work well yknow? #goro doesnt get third wheeled w ann and vice versa bc ann and goro are good friends; they just hang :) #its like. if u could SEE the fucking string of connections making a mess of my white board in my minds eye…😭 #so im trying to write it down into something that works for me #i dunno. i think its fun :) i did this for ffxv too #only that was way easier bc its just the four of them. but like. how do their internal relationships affect the overall polycule ? #anyway. inspired by that love post; that theres diff kinds of love. and kiss ryuji week LOL #bc i wanted to write a small thing with different thieves for each prompt #and im like how would their relationships differ from one another ? #ryuji and akira but also ryuji with makoto. ryuji w haru. ryuji w yusuke. its like. #u cant use the same thing from most pego/ryu fics bc they DIDNT meet the same way #waugh. #rambling #just know that im insane. i have all these wips and nothing FINISHED. waaa. #this is what that post meant about being obsessed over bad media LMAO. this is just what happens #u stay up thinking about fake polycules from a game that came out seven years ago #i think…. #WHAT. 2016??? #EIGHT years ??? #funny bc i was thinking about how ffxv was eight yesrs old and i am still a mess over it #well. could u imagine if i played p5 when it LAUNCHED instead of in 2020???

[skitskatdacat63]

Not be screaming Insanely to you about strollonso again but I have thots. Thinkings. And yeah.

So like I love how everyone expected them to not get well w each other yk like people THOUGHT they would be on each others throats, and nando would commit warcrimes against lance etc etc(Especially after last years Austin incident yeahh....)WHILE they were actually ALREADY on good terms in 2021(the recent gifs that showed lance being like a teenager w crush ykyky)(plus I do remember photos of them interacting just casually) and before that yk when nando congratulated lance on his first podium in baku(which I'll never get out of my head gladly)

And like NOW they are also so well w each other ESPECIALLY now that they are teammates. And its NICE and they are COMFY plus WHAT HAPPENED IM BAHRAIN OFC. And now wih nando casually making lance photos..they are so comfortable. Like aughh.

Thats all I guess please add anything you have in mind aswell 😭😭

Well I think it's funny because, as you mentioned, one of the only pre-2023 moments of strollonso I remember distinctly is when they had the collision during the US gp 😭 and I feel like everyone saw that and were like "oh god Nando is gonna kill him when they're teammates", and then a similar situation kinda happened again at the very first gp when Lance hit the back of Nando but when Nando found out, he's just like "okay :)"

I wonder though sometimes what they'd be like if the AMR23 was like the prev one. Because I do think Nando does actually like Lance, but also I don't think you can deny that Nando's podiums are indeed a buffer. Kinda like him being like "anything you can do to me is literally nothing because I have a great car and I'm doing better than I have in years", like bro is on top of the world after so long, and it feels like he's gotten a second wind where nothing can really touch him or bother him.

I hate how everyone uses that "Lance is the owner's son, so of course Fernando will treat him nicely" argument. Like yeah that's a factor, but I feel like I see it more as Nando appreciating Lance bcs he factors into why Nando has a good car and a good team in the first place. I think tho my fav strollonso plot line is Nando being like "ugh ill put up w him I guess", but then he ends up having such a good car and finds out in the process that Lance is more than he ever considered(like in this fic ) And also the narrative of Nando being a very different, supportive teammate as compared to most other Lance has had. I like that they probably came into being teammates with certain assumptions, but now look at how comfy they are with each other!! Enough to tease each other is such public ways, like Lance saying certain things in interviews and Nando with his socmed. It's very fun!

BUT YEAH OH MY GOD THAT CLIP OF THEM WITH LANCE BEING SO TOUCHY AND SHOVEY WITH HIM!!!! people need to look back at older clips like that and the others you mentioned before they make assumptions about why they are the way they are >:(

#i mean they've gotten worse and worse(affectionate) but look at lance! he was already teasing nando at the launch! #i just think people think very badly about nando and cant get out of that mindset and consider that he is just having actual fun atm #like i do think that him kinda being top dog in amr factors into why he treats lance so well #but neither of them mind their roles in the team so i dont get why its a bad thing #nando has a good car and a teammate who will along w him and not take it for granted cough cough ocon #so of course hes gonna be having a lot of fun and will actually enjoy being w that teammate #he is just a very competitive guy which i think somewhat makes it hard for him to get along w other teammates #but lance is super chill and i think they suit each other because of that #both of them are menace4menace but at opposite ends of the scale #like that meme where the guy is holding the leash of the other guy vibrating could work either way for them ngl #but hehehe elle come talk to me anytime i fucking love them so much #I think people just act like extenuating circumstances make it a fake relationship or fake dynamic of whatever #but i think its just that theyre not the blueprint for what teammates are usually like in f1 and thats okay!! #they respect and appreciate each other's roles and strengths and dont try to walk all over the other #like people saying that the spain finish was patronising to lance #uhhh no beacuse lance has and will do the exact same shit for nando #but for some reason people think its mind games #but anyways its very nice how they suit each other and how they act with each other!!! #and elle also dont worry ablut ranting bcs ill just reply w like 10x what you wrote #catie.asks. #strollonso

[priestfrommidnightmass]

the thing is movies that have been massively popular on tik tok / general social media (like barbie and oppenheimer) have gotten theatre reissues… know what’s massively popular right now? saltburn. therefore they should have a saltburn theatre reissue. if tiktok has to exist and cause so much then it should at least help make my life better just ONCE

#just kidding i know those movies got reissued because they made fuck tons of money #besides saltburn has already been put on streaming so the chances are slim #but the ideal way to experience it truly is in the theatre #trying to kinda soft launch posting abt saltburn on main because um. it’s kinda too serious for me #but yeah. i’m going to be seeing it again in a few weeks but i kinda don’t know what ill do with myself once it’s official #that i’ll never be able to see it on the big screen again

[goldiipond]

AAAA tell me about your post canon raydon hcs!! if you please!!

answering this a few days late bc my brain is full of bees but AWWWWW HELL YAH THANK YOU!! THEY MEAN THE WORLD TO ME so!!

fair warning this is really long. i don't know how this happened. what. <3

i like to think they start dating probably a few months after getting to the human world. they had developed romantic feelings for each other a while before that (likely sometime during the vol12 timeskip because they had a lot of time to grow closer while traveling <3) but it took them both a bit to realize those feelings especially due to being a bit preoccupied with. all the problems <3 they were obviously still really close and important to each other regardless

ray was probably the first to realize the way he loved don was different from the way he loved everyone else. he probably didn't really think much about the way he got butterflies whenever he was near don until he took a moment to be like oh. fuck. a more funny alternative to this is him offhandedly mentioning the way don makes him feel to emma and norman (i am looking away from emmas memory loss i do not see it <3) n being like 'yeah that's weird huh. anyway' and they just sit there like. i know what you are

it's not that don is oblivious, at least not to his own feelings. i think it might take him a bit longer to realize his feelings for ray because he's just. always allowed himself to love everyone so much more openly and freely than ray has. don has soo much love that he is constantly giving to others that he doesn't really. see his constant desire to be near ray as anything unusual for a while. he does notice how uncharacteristically shy he gets around ray, and his thought process was probably a gradual shift from 'well i didn't really get to have a bond with ray like everyone else growing up so i don't really know what he's okay with' to 'well of course i'm nervous. ray's so cool and smart and amazing so anyone would be nervous. this is true' he's a dork but he does figure it out eventually <3

after getting to the human world they naturally start hanging out with each other a lot more. once they both have some idea of their own feelings they take every chance they can to hang out together because being around each other just feels so nice. they're very sweet <3

i talked abt this in the tags of the post that prompted this ask hsfgfg but its really sweet to me so!! i think after ray's reaction to the hug in chapter 148 don makes sure to be more aware of and respectful of ray's boundaries regarding physical touch. he tries to make his intentions clear before hugging him and give ray a chance to say no if he doesn't want to be touched at the moment. the sheer amount of affection don had to give was really overwhelming for ray at first, but as they hang out more he slowly becomes more comfortable with don's touch and eventually builds up the confidence to start initiating contact himself as well <3

adding on to that last sentence, don has no idea how to react to this at first. he is so much more used to giving others affection than receiving it that when ray holds his hand for the first time his brain just factory resets. it's not like he's not used to receiving affection at all, but he's just. a very affectionate person so when someone, especially ray, initiates instead he just gets super emotional <3 it is not hard to make don emotional and ray is at least partially responsible for 3 separate instances of don crying happy tears in the manga so. he just loves him very much ok

don would probably be the one to confess his feelings! it was something he spent days hyping himself up for and then finally did on one of their hangouts. i can imagine don stumbling over his words even though he rehearsed them several times and ray doesn't know what he's talking about and he's trying not to laugh because man he's just so cute. and then don takes a breath and just gently takes ray's hands and says 'i like you, ray. i've liked you for a really long time.' and ray is just so taken aback he's just. absolutely speechless. and don asks if he'd like to go on a date sometime and ray just loses his composure completely and starts crying and all he can manage is a shaky 'yeah...' and don is a little shocked because its so rare to see ray cry like this but then he's just so overjoyed he hugs ray as tightly as he can and they both start laughing and AAAUGH. sorry what. my demons

it might take them a little bit after they first start dating to really 'act' like a couple? they're both new to the concept of dating as a whole and have no idea what they're doing but i don't think it'd take too long for them to sort of go back to the level of comfort and familiarity they had before. ray has some lingering feelings of self-doubt over whether he really 'deserves' someone as amazing as don but being around him just feels so right and don's affection is typically enough to reassure him at least a little. if he ever voiced these feelings to don i think don would go off on a massive tangent about everything he loves about ray and how he means the world to him and probably get a little too emotional and ray wouldn't really know how to react but he would be touched to say the least and he'd probably think about don's words a lot for. a very long time

while a lot of don's poor self-esteem is resolved over the course of the series, i think he might still experience some self-doubt on rare occasions as well, and he might have trouble opening up to ray about his problems at first. don has always been very open about his emotions, but when it comes to ray he knows all the shit he's been through and his own issues might seem. silly when compared to ray's? he isn't afraid ray would judge him, but he also doesn't really feel like he's 'justified' in causing ray to worry about him when he's been through so much already. but at this point ray knows don well enough to sense something is wrong and when he gets don to eventually tell him this he just explains that he never wants don to feel like his needs aren't as important as his own, and that he wants to be there for don the same way don's always there for him. then he pulls him close and softly says 'tell me what's wrong, don.' and don just breaks and ray just holds him and lets him get it out and its just. very very sweet jdastsadgdsghgdfggfdfghjg. i;m unwell

plagiarizing my tags from my most recent art of them but their first real kiss was initiated by ray! theyre probably cuddling a bit and just talking about whatever and he doesn't really realize what he's doing until he has don's face cupped in his hands and suddenly his heart is pounding and his hands are shaking and he can't even make eye contact and he just says really quietly, 'can i kiss you?' and don is so absolutely awestruck that all he can manage to do is pull ray closer and nod and its just so. it's about the little burst of confidence after a childhood of self-loathing its about the soft tenderness they both deserve so so much it's about [stares into the ocean

OKAY those were long (<- unwell) time for some more general hcs [strikes a pose]

ray is gay and don is bi! don's line about wanting to date a cute girl in s1 plays and then ray walks into the frame and don's like oh. a cute boy is also good

they're also t4t because all of my ships are t4t. you understand

while i mentioned him being more mindful of ray's boundaries, don is just soo physically affectionate that he doesn't even realize he's doing it sometimes and it makes ray's head spin. i can imagine them walking together and don just sort of grabbing ray's hand without really thinking about it and it taking him a good moment to notice 'hey ray's face looks a lot redder than usual wonder what's up with that' and then taking just a bit longer before being like OH. fool <3

MORE PHYSICAL AFFECTION YAYY anyway ithink they cuddle a lot. ray is 'i need to be swaddled and snug at all times' autism and don is 'if im not constantly holding or snuggling something i'll die' autism and thats why they are the perfect couple

once they do get more comfortable being a couple i think cheek kisses become a very common occurrence among the usual affection, especially from don. they both get flustered pretty easily, but when don kisses ray's cheek he just melts. this also creates a scenario where if don's on ray’s left he'll push ray's fringe to the side so he can kiss him. don did this once and whispered 'my emo boy <3' and ray almost died of laughter

adding onto that last scenario, don likes to think of the most unbearably cheesy pet names specifically to get ray's reaction. if it came to serious ones though i don't think don would use them that often if at all because he just really loves ray's name <3 ray lovingly calls don a dork all the time though

don really likes playing with ray's hair. goes with my hc that ray grows his hair out a bit and his hair is also probably really soft and don loves it. the feeling of don running his fingers through his hair is really calming and comforting to ray and don's probably the only one who could get away with touching it for any extended period of time

they have movie nights with emma, norman and gilda (because im weak for the 'group of best friends ends up living together' trope) and they all usually end up falling asleep in a big pile on the couch. ray usually snuggles up against don and ends up using him as a pillow <3

speaking of friends i have a really funny hc where it was very very common for ray to playfully tease norman when he had a crush on emma, so once he notices how hopelessly smitten ray is with don, norman is an absolute menace. they are the besties ever to me

don absolutely adores ray's singing. ray hums to himself while cooking and don will just come up behind him and wrap his arms around him and just listen to his voice, and sometimes he'll ask ray to sing for him and listen with this look of just. pure adoration <3 ray's not that confident in his singing and i think it's something that's very personal to him as he really only did it as a coping mechanism growing up, but seeing the way don lights up when he sings is really really special to him and i think it'd get him to appreciate his own voice more as well <3

on the other hand ray really loves don's laugh. it's just very loud and unrestrained and genuine like everything else don does and ray's heart absolutely melts when he hears it. ray will find any excuse to make don laugh <3

ray has come a long way with his healing in the years since the gracefield escape, but he still has lasting scars from that trauma that will never fully go away and don will drop everything to comfort him through his more emotional moments and the rare panic attack. it means a lot to ray that he's finally able to cry freely and openly and don will hold him as tight as he can and run his fingers through his hair and listen to him for as long as he needs. im very emotionally stable about this incase you were wondering

ray is a serial clothing thief. don's sweaters just feel warmer somehow <3 ray will walk into the room in the morning wearing a pink t-shirt with a bunny on it and the others instantly know it's not his HDSFG

don canonically gets warm really easily so i think if they were somewhere outdoors and ray got cold don would give him his jacket without question. ray felt bad leaving don without anything to keep himself warm and knew don wouldn't take no for an answer so he settled on giving don his scarf as a compromise. don got really really emotional over ray offering him such an important comfort item and tried to decline but ray also wouldnt take no for an answer so he ended up accepting it <3 it meant a lot to both of them

don is prone to going on long enthusiastic rants when he’s excited about something and his joy is so contagious for ray he just can't help but smile and laugh along with him. he can absolutely talk ray's ears off and ray adores every word and sometimes they might even start happy stimming together <3 autistic love its everything to me. you understand

OKAYTHATS. ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT FOR NOW <3<3<3 i definitely have more but i'd have to dig for them and i feel this post is really long so <3 but yeah they mean a lot to me. here's a kinda old little doodle i'm still really fond of as prize for reading this ridiculously self-indulgent rant

#skye's ramblings #HI ASH I OWE YOU MY LIFE FOR GIVING ME AN EXCUSE TO BE INSANE ABOUT THEM AUGH <3 #this is soooooo sappy and honestly kinda embarrassing but i spent too long on it and i need to be more confident so. launches this at yoy #it may seem like i just recently thought this ship up because theyre my faves and i only started posting abt shipping them recently but #well. according to phone gallery my first raydon doodle is from march last year so. ive been unwell abt them for even longer than i thought #IT WAS JUST. a leetle embarassing being like the only one who ships them despite their closeness in canon soi just. didnt post abt it <3 #what ever im proud to be number 1 raydon truther <3 they just mean the world to me both separately and together. holds them in my hands #EXPLOSION. anyway #raydon #tpn #might actually maintag this later just bc i spent a long time typing it out but im shy right now <3 buries my head in the sand #amantesmortem #shrimps squad

[danthropologie]

Daniels whole demeanour and confidence at the gp though. He was absolutely walking and was feeling himself which makes me soso hopeful esp from his comments about next year and the stuff about the sim too. And him wanting himself to race, the belief in himself to go out and do what he loves!! I think the whole things with the fans and support is just a bonus tbh, like I do believe he would’ve decided he wants to come back either way with or without the huge reaction he was getting at the weekend but I like to think it shows him how supported and loved he is.

right and it was also such a nice (and interesting) progression from the launch as well, where even then he was SO excited and it felt like he probably kinda already knew that he wanted to get back on the grid, even if he wasn't quite ready to say it yet 🤧

#it DOES make me wonder if the initial poor outing in the sim was pre winter break tho #like right off the back of abu dhabi still in that kinda fucked headspace #going into winter break wondering if this is the end of the road if the mclaren fucked him up so bad that he can't come back from it #and because of that throwing himself so completely into to the break and not thinking about racing at all just because he Can #(and because maybe this is just How It Is now and he because he better get used to it) #only to come back from the break and jump in the sim; kinda dreading it cause what if it's still just as bad and fucked #but then it's???? not???? maybe only marginally better but there are flashes of what he used to be buried in there #and as time goes on more and more of that old daniel keeps getting uncovered and it feels GOOD #so by the time he's at the launch he's like pretty sure that if things continue like this he's gonna be back #but it's too early to say it just yet so he just holds it in. plays coy. #spends a bit more time in the sim and it's only getting better and better #to the point where he KNOWS he'll be back on the grid (and back in the red bull) it's just a matter of time #and showing up to melbourne with the glow of it all compounded by the leagues and leagues of fans still there supporting him #and telling him they hope to see him back soon :( #dan #red bull redux #answered #anonymous #insane about it actually #and if this is what he's done in just 2-3 months.....and there's three more months before he even gets in an irl car.....😵‍💫

I am so curious what my stats r gonna be for Spotify wrapped. I only started using it in 2021 and so I only know my things for 2 years. Both years, Stray Kids was my top artist bc they're my fav kpop group

This year, I know without a doubt it's going to be IAMX. I have listened to them just about every day for Four Months Straight, often for hours and hours at a time. I have 102 songs liked from them, so I have not grown bored at all.

It's going to be a frankly ridiculous level of minutes played. I'm rly curious where I'm gonna rank in their listeners hfkdhdksbdk

#speculation nation #even if i stopped listening to them so much Now. thats still 4 months of utter obsession #i have..never had an artist that has possessed me like this before. #ive had plenty of favorites sure. i get in moods where i wanna listen to certain bands on repeat #but usually it lasts for only a few days at a time. maybe a week or two. a Month if its real strong #it's been four months. Four Fuckin Months. #and to be fair ive known of IAMX for like over ten years now. but i only ever knew the one song by them #so it feels like ive been listening to them far longer than i have been.... because it's kinda true. but only in part. #i shouldve checked them out so much earlier. i wouldve been all over this back then too. #but. ykno what. better now than never. #so ive been launching myself into their tip top percentages for listeners. for months. #idfk man it's just been scratching smth in my brain so well. this is music for ME. #dark but not gaudy about it. it's not edgy for the sake of edginess. #it's music for someone deeply fucked up and just kinda vibing with it. Just Like Me. #it's no wonder it's resonated so much with me. it's so fucking good.

who’s that voice i hear in my gacha action adventure mobile game????? 🤭

#this is vee speaking #who’s that seiyuu-san????? iiiiiit’s hayama shouta!!!!! *pissy shorty sounds* #lol the pic of him i posted the other day was post this game’s launch livestream so i knew he was in it lol #because if i hadn’t i actually would have stuck with the eng voices they’re actually really good lol #casual police brutality and some design choices aside the game is pretty fun actually lol #this subplot so far tho is dealing with ai and the replacement of human labour and i’m not quite sure what this game’s stance is on it yet #rich man getting richer is using some nice words to say he advocates for human creativity #which is why he supports ai taking over mundane jobs so humans can focus on said passions but that’s kinda tone deaf to reality as a whole #even in game if there’s protestors lmao but enough about how this is hitting annoyingly close to home rn lmao HAYAMA-SAAAAAN~💜💜💜 #HAYAMA-SAN YOUR GRUMPY OLD BUT YOUTHFUL MAN CHARACTER IS FUN LOL!!!!!

If you have windows you should be able to play kid pix 3 for free

it's strange, long ago i use to be able to run it fine on a laptop i use to have, but every attempt on my current laptop keeps failing.

this laptop im on is still using Windows 7, and the issue im running into is that my laptop is 64-bit instead of 32 or 16, and it won't progress after it gives me an error.

#ask #xenergreenhead #i did have a mutual tell me to attempt to use myabandonware. which did help find the version i wanted #but i cant seem to install it successfully. oh well #i also tried to get hoyle card games 1999 (or hoyle card games 3) working but. it crashes on launching #which sucks cause i really want to go back to both #i think hoyle card games needs a virtual machine. which i do not want to do honestly. #though i have scummvm for pajama sam 1. though from what i can see thus far i cant use it for these(?) #im not looking too hard atm though. #it honestly makes me kinda sad!! #we use to have hoyle card games 3 and wed let our grandmother borrow the disc every so often #which. hoyle card games 3 is like. card games with a bunch of different ais with voices #im pretty sure i had a crush on one of the characters in that game. the uhhhhh blue guy #but anyway. thank you for the ask :) #i wouldve replied sooner but on thursday and friday i was in pain from being forced to work with my brothers step dad #and i couldnt work up the energy to try and see if i could run it #but i attempted it a few minutes ago with no luck :( #what a stinker. but oh well #edit: extra note. i am not the smartest with installing stuff. so bear with me

The little melody Taylor plays on the piano before starting the surprise song is something that is so special to me.

#taylor swift #the eras tour #y’all know what I’m talking about? #it’s so pretty and I love that she just kinda messes around on the piano before launching into the song
