Glory and Gore
but in all chaos, there is calculation
RTE was a regular Cybertronian; no name, no importance, just another bot in the crowd. When the Quintessons showed up and drove the populous underground, the rat slipped away, finding the thrill of life scavenging and dodging alien eyes. They made their way on the surface by uncovering now-abandoned homes and mines and hoarding the resources to resell to those in Iacon. [Their story connects here to Bluescreen, which can be its own post if we decide!]
Things settled after the Primes ran the Quintessons off the planet, or at least, that was what the rat assumed as the invaders disappeared for stellar cycles. But things changed below the surface. The scavenger didn't recognize this Sentinel Prime, didn't trust him-- though it was none of their concern as long as their trading business kept up. The Cybertronian government had always been so-so at best, anyway. Then business slowed. The resources didn't dry up, but the energon the rat traded for suddenly became harder to come by... and gradually, so did contact with the Iacon bots.
The scavenger could sniff out just about anything they wanted, and now they wanted answers. Unfortunately, they got those answers the hard way, when the supposedly defeated Quintessons returned and caught the rat off guard.
The Resistance
(who's gonna stand up, who's gonna fight?) the voice of the unheard (who's gonna break these chains and lies?)
They onlined in dim lighting, unclear how they were alive, much less where they'd ended up. They got answers soon enough when another bot entered the lab, a towering figure like a deer with a single optic glowing in the low light. The rat only stared back at him, curious, not concerned, and he told them what happened.
"Everything you probably know is a lie."
It was, of course-- even what little the scavenger cared to know. Sentinel was no prime but a power-hungry murderer who'd sold out Cybertron to the invaders while letting the people believe he was their last standing savior. He hoarded the energon for the Quintessons, worked the people nearly to death, paraded himself around like he was Primus himself. A fraud, somehow even worse than his predecessors, who were hardly perfect and even barbaric at times (the empurata victim standing before them was proof of that) but at least attempted to protect their own.
The rat didn't like it. The deer-- Shockwave-- said there was hope, in the form of the High Guard who'd been chased out of Iacon by Sentinel and had operated from the shadows to take him down ever since. They couldn't afford risks, couldn't keep enough energon for their ranks, but that was where the rat came in and why Shockwave had repaired and enhanced them. They'd made quite an impression over the cycles, and if they wanted to help the cause, they could put their scavenging abilities to good use.
That's how they became RTE-09. An unconventional name, but one given to them. The experimental designation, the repairs built from a creaturelike frame similar to Shockwave's, and their (for all intents and purposes) imprinting on the deer bot all made RTE see Shockwave as their brother, and Shockwave simply went with it. Perhaps he enjoyed the companionship, even allowing the rat access to his lab without threatening them for the inevitable mess they'd make of his things. RTE would only talk to Shockwave for several stellar cycles, finding it hard to trust anyone else for a while.
That didn't stick, of course, especially once they warmed up to the High Guard's leader who occasionally visited the lab. Starscream was a highly skilled seeker, and led as best he could with Soundwave and Shockwave to help him-- but at spark, he was still a scientist and poet. He hadn't yet let war break him, hadn't yet been corrupted. He was an odd bot, to be sure, but he still appreciated everything around him, especially the creatures, and that extended to RTE. Even though they were perfectly sentient, RTE was happy to get the pet rat treatment for completing a task well-- that being headpats, mostly. Starscream was a good friend, a good bot, and RTE never lost sight of that in him despite what his future held.
This Means War
you've gone too far who do you think you are? is this what you came for? well, this means war
But in their spark RTE wasn't satisfied. They'd come to know a lot of Cybertronians through their business, and they hated doing so little to help them. They hated what Sentinel was doing. They hated being helpless against the invaders acting like they owned the planet. So when a group of cogless bots turned up saying they could change things, they had proof, they could take Sentinel down, RTE was all audio receptors, even towards the one who beat Starscream within an inch of his spark. They didn't trust D-16, not completely, but he was right, and he was doing something about it.
If you've seen Transformers One, you know the rest. RTE was captured with Starscream (Shockwave in this continuity was a bit more eager to help Orion get them back) and saw everything play out. They saw Sentinel supposedly offlined, celebrated it, even-- but in the back of their processor, there was something off about their new leader, even as they continued to agree with him. Something shifted in his spark when his friend (really, his sparkmate, RTE thought) became a Prime.
RTE never forgot how they felt about that last interaction between two leaders, even as new transformation cogs and enhancements corroded all of Cybertron's memory files over the stellar cycles to come. They'd always believe in the Decepticon cause, in stopping the corrupt government the Autobots upheld. But they'd also always see something different in Optimus Prime, and the Decepticon who stood directly against him.
Rise Up
and we follow the path that we believe in no we're not gonna stop until we reach it oh all you need to know is that we're holding on we rise up from the dust and claim our throne

The amount of people who genuinely believe that Hinata and Hoshiumi hate each other is so baffling to me because Hoshiumi literally says that he and Hinata will take on the whole world together.


Of course, this is not the only line that debunks the claim that their relationship is built on some degree of genuine animosity, but... this panel in particular sums up exactly what type of dynamic these two have. No, they don't hate each other or see each other as threats to their way to the top. The Kamomedai and Karasuno match entails Hoshiumi in particular realising that just because he and Hinata are both short players in a sport where being short is considered disadvantageous, does not mean that they're the same or that they have similar playing styles. Additionally, when Hinata finally embraces his role as "The Greatest Decoy" (thereby embracing his own distinct playing style), Hoshiumi acknowledges that the existence of one style does not negate the presence of another.

There's enough room on the court for both he and Hinata!!! There's enough room on the court for both of their playing styles to flourish!!! Hoshiumi doesn't really consider Hinata a rival because he isn't a hurdle he must overcome on his way to the top!!! They'll make it to the top together!!! They'll take on the whole world together!!! They'll continue to defy those odds alongside each other because there's enough space at the top for both "The Little Giant" and "The Greatest Decoy"!!!

So my new headcanon for the end of Thrawn (2017) is that when Eli tells Thrawn that he's content to be Thrawn's aide because it's where he's supposed to be, and Thrawn responds with, "perhaps, perhaps not," ya know, like the cryptic asshole he is (affectionate), I like to think that Eli immediately whirls on him, and is like, "oh no, nuh-uh, that's your 'I'm about to uproot Eli's entire life' voice, WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING???" and Thrawn just gives him that smug little smile and says, "I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, Lieutenant Commander," while absolutely *cackling* internally
#this is worded weird but y'all get the gist#these two are genuinely so funny their dynamic is so much fun to play around with#Thrawn#Eli Vanto#Eli just heaves a big sigh and is like 'ya know what this is on me i shouldn't have said shit i know better by now hello it's me the fool'#thranto#look the thranto brainrot has had me in a chokehold for a year now and is not letting me go anytime soon#I have accepted that I live here now

A follow up/expansion on the Robot replaces Dead Vox scenario au
For simplicity's sake I'll refer to Vox's robot replacement as the Proxy. And any possible future posts about this au will be tagged under "The Proxy AU"
(Do take note that some of these things may be subject to change as I expand on this au in time)
Thank you @theautotrophic for your questions! ^w^
Vox made the Proxy at first after his fallout with Alastor as a way to let out his self loathing. So Alastor didn't know about it.
The Proxy is almost direct reconstruction of his body but improved to better at handling overheating amongst other things while also having the chest area be more… masculine. (If you headcanon Vox as Trans ontop of my headcanon that he can't exactly have permanent top surgery because sinner regeneration is a bitch)
The biggest difference between Vox and the Proxy is that the Proxy doesn't have alot of shark-like qualities unlike Vox since Vox was still terrified of sharks when he made the Proxy.
So the Proxy doesn't have any dorsal like fins and his tail is a retractable cord tail instead of a retractable shark tail. But it still does have the gills as its vents.
There's also details on his backside specifically that he couldn't replicate because well… It's not like he can see his back.
The Proxy was meant to be Vox's attempt to upgrade his body as a way to cope with his fallout with Alastor. After all, if he can upgrade his head, why can't he upgrade his body?
Unfortunately, he couldn't actually replace his body with the Proxy. And the idea of completely getting rid of it didn't sit right with him since he wasted alot of materials and time into making it.
It'll be a waste to scrap it but it's not like he could admit that he made the Proxy in a state of weakness to his only business partner friend left.
After some time of calming down, he realized that he could use the Proxy as a back up plan if things go south with him.
At this point, he still didn't know he could transfer parts of his memories into flashdrives to download them somewhere else. But he reasoned that he could theoretically make a head for the Proxy and program it to act like him.
So knowing that there's a chance Valentino would see the Proxy because you can't exactly hide a life-sized "improved" replica of your body, he told Valentino that the Proxy could be a backup plan for him if things go south before Valentino could find out about it through other means.
At the time, Valentino was utterly confused and pretty disturbed at the information.
But it was something they never really brought up again since they both wanted to forget it.
Velvette didn't actually know about the Proxy until it happened.
After his close fight with Alastor wherein Valentino intervened before Alastor disappeared, his thoughts went back to the Proxy as he realized that he could actually die.
His media empire with Valentino and Velvette was already growing and if anything happened to him, the technological and broadcasting aspect of their business would fall over without him acting as the head.
And their reputation would take a hit if Valentino and Velvette was forced to rebrand Voxtek in the case of his death. Especially if their competitors sees his death as something that'll weaken the Vees.
He couldn't bare letting the Vees go without an actual backup plan in case something happened to him.
So while he and Valentino healed from the battle with Alastor, he took some time upgrading the Proxy to be up to date and actually modifying and programming it so that it could actually act like him in case something happened.
He didn't bother making the Proxy a head of its own since he knew he always upgraded his head and it would just be a waste of time.
But he did set up a machine that can automatically give the Proxy a head after the head that'll be installed has the proper programming and necessary memories installed inside.
The Proxy doesn't actually have any personality of its own unlike Kitty wherein Vox put in the extra effort to give it some personality thay he knows Valentino would like since it was a gift for him (just like how Vark was a gift for Vox from Val which helped him embraced his shark-like qualities)
The Proxy is programmed to handle broadcasting, interviews, and public meetings. Pretty much every public appearance Vox had to make.
The memories downloaded into the Proxy mostly isn't personal at all, and they mostly only pertain to the business and important aspects of their business. (So it doesn't have any personal memories of Alastor)
Though there are also programmed codes and memories on how to handle Valentino and Velvette to make sure they don't fly off the handle based on Vox's previous interactions. With more emphasis on how to specifically handle a Valentino who's having a fit just in case.
Though when the two of them goes against the programmed interaction the Proxy has on them, then it has some difficulty.
After all, it wasn't like it has anything to work off on on how to handle a grieving Valentino and Velvette.
It takes alot of energy from the Proxy to handle its daily public appearances. And it's unable to do surveillance unlike Vox as any attempts to do so would overload its systems and it'll just crash.
When its not on "public appearance" mode, the Proxy is on a "low power savings" mode around the Vees as it tries to keep up the appearance of a businessman for the other employees. Though it visibly buffers and pauses at times, causing its face to disappear.
Sometimes Valentino and Velvette would manually power it off to be hidden somewhere out of plain sight.
It's a miracle if they could remember to plug it in through its tail cord or its actual charger or another charger so it could recharge.
Something that Vox's assistant has to keep up on consistently unless he wants to reschedule the entire day so that the people who are none the wiser won't be confused or upset that Vox had to reschedule their meetings and other public appearances. (Poor Eelliot)
As for Vox's death well… I'll keep that to your imaginations for now :D
But I will say that one of the reasons Alastor knows Vox is dead is because of how their shared frequency went completely silent.
Meanwhile, the Vees have a contract to ensure that everything the deceased Vee has under their possession would be transferred to the other Vees in the event of their death so that they won't lose any power, souls, properties, and ect that the other Overlords and Kingpins could steal.
Even when Valentino and Velvette didn't know where Vox was or how he died, the both of them physically felt Vox's powers and possessions going to them after he died, confirming his death.
Valentino quickly went to Vox's surveillance and control room to desperately search for him while there was an Extermination going on outside.
It took everything from Velvette to convince him not to go outside when he could also be killed and then Vox would be fucking upset with them.
(Neither of them said a word that there was no more Vox to be upset with them ever again)
When they finally located his body, they quickly collected him discreetly so that noone else would know that the Vees lost its eldest member.
Neither of them said a word as they hugged the cold, lifeless corpse.
A stark contrast to the warmth Vox constantly radiated despite his calm and collected persona.
It took some time for Valentino to finally put Proxy to use.
Some of Vox's shows having a few reruns while he gathers the courage to face the machine.
He had half the mind to completely destroy it beyond repair.
To tear everything down to pieces after he had lost his longest business partner.
But Kitty and Proxy was the only things left that Vox made with his two very own hands.
To have them repaired by someone else other than Vox…..
Well, while Vox may still be the same despite how much he changed…
The same could not be said about the robots he made.
It wouldn't be the same.
When metal and wires could easily be replaced but the soul cannot.
It wouldn't be the same.
Still, he couldn't stop himself as he shattered the screen that showcased it buffering instead of the exasperated but still fond sneer he had gotten used to.
Velvette was absolutely devastated and livid when she found out about Vox's replacement.
She screamed at Valentino, asking him what the fuck he was even thinking and HOW THE FUCK DID HE EVEN ACQUIRE SUCH A THING
Vox never told her about the Proxy and while Velvette could care less about the roofies she makes and the Fizzibot Val has and every worse thing she's done under existence, she couldn't fathom replacing Vox with a mere husk of a pathetic disgusting thing.
She only stopped her shouting when Valentino quietly said it was Vox's idea.
And they both promised that they'll kill whoever decided to hurt the Vees and avenge Vox.
For now it was something both of them could focus on, even if it was a lie.
Valentino will hunt them down no matter what other people may say.
When Alastor saw Vox alive and well after the dead silence in their shared frequency, he first thought it must be a bad dream.
But he knows it was real.
That it happened.
After the confusing feelings he felt upon seeing that familiar face alive and well passed by, anger gripped his soul.
He had half the mind to ruin and destroy that pretender.
Vox was well and truly gone and it'll stay that way if Alastor could help it.
But when he realized what truly happened, he could only laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh at the situation.
And when he calmed down, he deigned to not interact even further at what happened.
Except for mocking the remaining Vees at what had happened to make himself feel better.

Massive thank you to you and everyone else who calls out how shitty it is to get mad at peoples interpretations. Sleep tokens music is romantic. Its also toxic. These statements can coexist. Its not your business if someone plays bloodsport or vore or hell even atlantic at their wedding. Youre not them, you dont know what the music means to them. If you see a weird take just roll your eyes and move on, its not a big deal. Absolutely sick and fucking tired of all these "why are you calling this romantic/sexy? Youre stupid and a terrible person!" takes like fucking relax. Media literacy is important yes. Respecting that this music is dark and personal to vessel is also important. Same goes for respecting how people relate to the music in dark ways. But as long as people are not saying things directly to vessel or fans about how their individual trauma is sexy then just chill out and respect peoples different interpretations. It sucks that i cant talk about how i view certain songs without being called horrible things and having really fucked up vitriol aimed at me. Yall need to grow the fuck up and get over yourselves. Im not thinking of your personal shit when i call a certain song romantic/sexy, i dont even know you, sometimes im thinking of my own trauma actually lol. Lets all discuss this music maturely where we respect each other and what each of us as individuals bring to the table for interpretation, stop making this fandom toxic as hell for anyone who doesnt agree 100% with your own interpretation. (Also the whole "youre not allowed to say this song is romantic/sexy" thing is very dismissive of some peoples trauma in itself, it ignores how messy someones feelings toward their abusers/toxic partners can be. Pretty fucked up to call a trauma survivor stupid or a terrible person because a song reminds them of their positive feelings towards someone who hurt them) Anyways yeah, just tired of people being so harsh because they refuse to see other peoples perspectives. I genuinely think one of the most toxic aspects of this fandom is the vitriol over different interpretations, people act like outright children at times with it im ngl, especially with more sexual discussions. It also feels infantilizing towards vessel at times, hes a grown adult who put romantic/sexy elements in his music and he doesnt need people trying to protect him from those themes. Im rambling but this stuff pisses me off so much, this fandom needs to do better
Context post for the clueless ones - regarding my tags/replies
Here's the thing - I've been in fandoms for many, many, MANY years. This type of discussion isn't anything new nor unique to Sleep Token, but it sure does make a comeback quite often. It's tiring to keep repeating the same things over and over, but that's what fandom is all about isn't it?
Someone needs to say something, and I am not one to shy away from uncomfortable conversations like these. Something something, build your own community, be the change you wanna see, etc etc.
I've said pretty much everything I wanna say already under that post, but for the sake of clarity, and because I can't keep my mouth shut apparently -
Under the cut for length - you know the drill:
Music is art. And art is subjective. Meaning, each individual will have their own personal connection and interpretation of a given piece of art, which in this case is Sleep Token's music.
Did Vessel write the songs with a certain intent or meaning? Most likely yes! It's not hard to connect the dots and guess what events/emotions might've transpired and served as inspiration for them (accuracy to personal life is irrelevant and none of our business, but it's also no rocket science to understand what's been said).
Can we establish a base meaning for any given song, or better, can we have a general consensus of what a song is about based on its lyrics and themes? Absolutely! Not every song is like that, but we can all agree there's a lot of recurring themes of past relationships and mental health struggles.
Is it wrong to diminish the songs to one basic element (eg. the sexual undertones) and/or completely disregard the bigger, more important theme? I'd say it is.
Giving Atlantic as an example (which as a lot of you know, is my most favourite song of them and very dear to me): this one has some very blatant references to suicide and depression. Regardless of whether it is based on irl events or not (none of our business!!!), it is extremely heavy and emotionally charged. I find it incredibly disrespectful when people say random stuff during the rituals when he plays this one.
Or for example, how certain people reduce Sleep Token to "baby making metal", instead of acknowledging the insane (insane!) variety of genres and the profound lyricism they present.
Should we limit our views, and by extension, those of others, to surface-level interpretation, without allowing room for different views and interpretations, either fictional lore based or not? ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Vessel himself said to "not restrict ourselves to labels or genres because music transcends it all" (paraphrasing here). It's literally their whole thing. It's very hypocritical to be shouting from the rooftops about "media literacy" and assuming people are stupid or idiots for not understanding the basic, surface-level meaning of a song, when Vessel himself constantly writes in metaphors and half-truths.
I've touched on this a lifetime ago on one of my analysis, but if you *actually* look at the lyrics, you'll realise Vessel hardly ever says what he means. There's always something else behind his words, something he purposefully keeps hidden. It really sneaks upon you sometimes! I'm over a year in and I still find something new everyday on their music. That man has a way to weave in a hundred and one statements under a single sentence, that is just truly beautiful to study.
Is, say, The Love You Want, about a man (Vessel) mourning the fact that his love isn't reciprocated? Yeah! Is it about someone who, despite knowing they can never receive from their lover the attention and affection and care they want, will stay by their side anyways? It is!
Is it about bitterness, spiteful accusations aimed at the one person who should love you fully? Or a reflection of how little self-regard the singer has, so much that they are willingly and actively choosing to stay in a sinking one-sided relationship, because the alternative is too painful to bare? Can you flip the switch and see it as someone who is obsessively pursuing another person, and painting themselves as a victim? All of this, yes!
You can even eliminate the romantic aspect all together and apply it to a relationship with the self (past or future, or an alter ego), or a parental figure. The options are endless. There isn't one universal truth when it comes to music, and as such, all of these takes are 100% correct.
Many statements can be true at the same time - it doesn't make one more true or correct than the other. Simply different. The way we connect with music is very much dictated by our own life experiences, and no two people have lived the exact same life.
Can you prefer a certain way to look at a song, or completely disagree with certain takes? Absolutely! I know I sure as hell do! That's normal and expected and part of the fun in being in a community such as ours. More people means more ways to look at a song - isn't that just wonderful?!
Now, this is very obvious for most of us, but some people, especially in the younger rage, have been taught to look at things in a very black and white way. Not to be that person, but the truth is that the rise in awareness of social issues and "pc-ness", is slowly starting to eliminate the possibility of things being flawed and nuanced.
If you're wrong, you're awful. If you're right, you're obnoxious. Made a mistake? Get cancelled. Grow from your mistakes, but not like that. Learn from your actions, but change your whole personality in a day otherwise you're problematic.
You know what I mean.
Life isn't black and white. Art isn't black and white. Music isn't black and white. What may seem like a toxic, dark, obsessive depiction of a relationship to you, might translate to the deepest and most truest of loves to me. I can acknowledge something is Not Right, while still drawing my own conclusions.
Is Blood Sport a sad af song? Yeah! Definitely not the first thing I'd think of when in a happy relationship. But maybe that's the point. And maybe I do. And that's okay, and none of anyone's business. "Okay but The Apparition isn't a good example of a healthy and romantic-" TO YOU! Maybe that's what love looks like to me! Maybe I just happen to be into it! And what about it?
Maybe to me love comes with all the ugly sides too. The violence, the despair, the self-doubt. Who are you to dictate what I can or can't think? I highly doubt Vessel would go 🗣️ "WRONG! NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! >:::(", so why would you?
You can, and should, discuss the songs with others! Maybe some people do genuinely need a fresh pair of eyes to help them get to the juicy core of the songs - that's why we're here! To discuss, and exchange ideas! You can, and should, call people out when their engagement with the music is being harmful to others (joking and laughing during Missing Limbs? No bueno. Speculating about Vessel's personal life? VERY no bueno. Choosing a potentially weird song to walk down the aisle? None of your business + not your wedding + you weren't even invited + none of your business. Notice how I've been repeating that. Notice again).
You shouldn't, however, shame and ridicule others for having different views from you.
I think, rather than engaging in pointless discussions and start accusing people of being this or that, we should all exercise a little "don't like? scroll past". Is it harming you or others? No? Then scroll past! Is it an awful, truly horrendous take about something you're really passionate about? Okay! Disgusting! Scroll past! Good for them! 👍
Also - keep an open mind. We're all doing this living businesse for the first time, no one holds all the answers to everything. It's okay to change your mind. It's okay to say the wrong thing and backtrack. It's okay to make a mistake and learn and grow.
You know what's not okay? Being a dick to others because the thing you like is being misinterpreted. It's hard, I know!!! You can block people! You can scroll past! You can look at pictures of your favourite vessel and cleanse your brain!!!! I know I do!!!!!
And this is a last afterthought but - you don't get to complain about the fandom you're in if you're doing nothing to change that. I see many, maaaaany of you bitch about this and that, while having 0 engagement aside from the bitching. Like?? Maybe if you spent more time reblogging cool art or gifs and less time whining about literally everything, this would be a much more pleasant space!! And I DO get to be a little petty here because I sure do try my best to make this a fun and nice community. I am allowed a little bitching 😌
Anyways, tl/dr: don't be a dick; don't like - don't engage; keep an open mind; gaze upon the vessels. Peace and love yall 💙💫
#i think i may have gotten a little carried away but! you get the gist#very rich of me saying don't like - scroll past while engaging in Discourse™ i know 🙄#but. well. i kind of really really don't like this whole “you bad me right” attitude some people assume when talking about certain topics#(and this goes for both the recent discussions of the referenced post and the whole identity reveal thing)#is it too much to ask for a little respect? dang it#i swear december is a cursed month for Sleep Token and fans. last year we had iii's absence + the Wembley situash + THAT WHOLE THING in here#(remember that? lmaoooooo)#and now we're repeating the exact same thing? cmon guys. euclid. break the dang bough already and be someone new#i said i wouldn't get pissy but here we are LMAOOO HYPOCRIT NUMBER 1 IS ME!!!#in my defense. i couldn't not say anything about that Espera thing 😤 my queens. my lieges.#and this. well. i am just annoyed enough to engage 🥰#ANYWAYS!!#gonna schedule this and go honk shoo some more#i wanna be peaceful eeping while ~this~ goes live 💙 muwah#sleep token#darya is unhinged#<- it warrants the writing tag#darya answers#anon ask

RESURRECTION SPELL!!!

Hey, c'mon :(
#message from my best friend / roommate btw... bro you can't be saying this to me we live togetherrrrr 💔💔💔#to be fair I kinda fully walked into that one 😔😔😔#I made a comment about how being back in my kr fixation era has resulted in y'all (my tumblr mutuals) associating me with cars now#bc it's very funny to me. and also endearing.#every time someone sends me a post bc it reminds them of me and then it's just about cars I go yay whee yippee#but like. NOT WHAT I SAID. NOT WHAT I SAID. sure it's true whatever fine but THAT'S PRIVATE.#when I bought that cheap little book on 60s cars he also kept calling it my car porn (''corn'') book so like. whateverrrr......#this is also the same friend who said ''you're embarrassing yourself'' when I was fawning over that old caddy in the parade that one time#(which is a story I've told here before. but if you're unfamiliar that really is the gist of it)#grrrr...... >:/#roz posts#suggestive

it does something incomprehensible to my little writer’s soul whenever alex articulates a phenomenon of the writing process i’ve always picked up on and then goes on to describe it in exactly the same way
#when i first heard him say this when i was watching the interview i legit had to pause the video for a moment#because it was like he’d actually taken my words straight out of my mouth#literally for years i’ve been fascinated by the little timeless pocket between dusk and dawn where there’s so much freedom#to explore creativity uninhibited and unobserved and without fear of consequence#the way it allows you to create things almost as if they don’t really exist#or like the rest of the world doesn’t#and the magic of that freedom#like if you create things on the cusp of dreams it’s almost as if they don’t count#they’re liberated from any usual self doubt or self criticism that invades the imaginative space during the daylight#why am i making myself sound like a creative vampire 😭#i’m going to stop rambling in the tags now sorry#i fear absolutely none of this makes sense#kudos to anyone who’s read the whole way through this#the gist of what i’m trying to say is that it’s such a special feeling when someone whose writing you adore and connect to so much#puts into words elements of the process that have always resonated with you#and this is just one example too#right i’m going to stop rambling now#but one last thing before i go#on a more superficial note: can we appreciate how softly spoken and soft fluffy haired he is here?? 🥺#alex turner#humbug era#arctic monkeys#alex vid#lulu posts

*exasperated sigh lol* changeeeeee is hardddddd
#the talkies tag#it's been a minute since i did the whole 'small post with lots of tags' bit#idk it's just. for the past couple months i've been really comfortable just vibing with the couple of really good friends i have#and then i went to a dance and met two (2) new people and we exchanged numbers and such#and i decided in that moment that i'd put as much effort as i could into replying on time and actually making goodhearted attempts for them#and for some reason that whole thing has been stressing me out as of late#like i understand that this is a Good Thing and Important Thing to learn how to do the whole social thing#and i want to! i so genuinely want to work on that!#it just. it's just a lot for my mind right now for some reason#i do wish i could remain in the little hidey-hole of 'have like three really great people in your life and chill'#but i also would rather not give up on improving my 'making friends' skills#and so the result becomes: i'm weirdly stressed about nothing in particular#and it begins to drain my poor little introverted self to the point that any socialising is hard#and the real zinger of this whole thing is that i got ONE DAYYY of bad sleep and it threw off my whole grooveee ToT#so yeahhhh- basically the gist is you guys here on Tumblr are My People and don't tire me out and real world stuff is hard#(btw just to really make sure this is clear i am not venting about anybody here y'all are chill as heck i love y'all)#that said i love all my friends very much#and if i have not been very good at responding to you. i am so sorry <3 i swear i cherish you and your friendship#my mind has been everywhere recently#you reading this btw i love you a lot ^-^#thanks for listening#it means a ton#vent

Arcane season 2, act 2, got me crying on my couch by myself
#kee speaks#arcane spoilers#and its not even just the events happening in the show#but its got me non stop thinking about my sister#like on netflix itself: my sister was the one that set up the account and she gave me a profile on it#and so its just been her name and my name on the profile select#my bil never made his own profile he would just use hers#and he asked me if im alright with seeing her name on there still and i said yes its fine#so he hasnt changed anything so every time i open netflix i see her name and her profile picture is Vi#here in act 2 after the time skip and Vi's hair is now black and she looks so much like my sister#i already associated Vi with my sister becauss they are so similar but now with the black hair just like my sister#and at times accentuating the curve on the bridge of her nose just like my sister had#and then with Jinxs sorta adopted baby sister Isha#which already the first time seeing her name in the subtitles my heart stopped because thats the latter half of my sisters name too#there are other factors too but the gist is that this show just reminds me of my sister so much#and that ending with Isha just hit me very hard#i didnt even realize i was getting emotional until suddenly i was sobbing#😭😭😭😭#(doesnt help either that im still fighting this sickness too)

reason #3299874 why i hate tennis twitter: i hate how idealistic it feels to say “omg we’re ALL sort of right.” like there should be a substantial middle ground here somewhere and instead it always feels like im being weirdly diplomatic. people are spreading misinformation about how drugs and drug tests work. people are ignoring the very real and EXPERT opinions that were used in the process of ruling. people are pretending to be oblivious to why players might find the whole scenario upsetting anyway. people are projecting their paranoia about doping onto a case where it isn’t applicable. people are using completely impermissible evidence to prove why he obviously did or didn’t dope. nick kyrgios is an idiot. and we’re going in circles and have gotten no where and at the end of the day whatever YOU say will not change the fact that he did in fact get two positive doping tests AND the experts supported a conclusion of no fault no negligence. so where does that leave us.
#tw doping#idk if this is a trigger warning but ill tag it anyway#i guess im just annoyed at all the stupid takes ive seen#and it’s so frustrating to feel like i cant call those takes stupid or argue against them without aligning myself with a ‘side’#like there is no sides lol. the experts came to a factual conclusion that j have no reason or desire to question#im satisfied with that!#but there are still so many people trying to support him. WHO ARE SAYING THE MOST UNREAL IDIOTIC SHIT#like i cant sit here and watch you say this it’s embarrassing 😭#but if i say ‘hey this is like not true or accurate at all’ now it seems like i’m agreeing it’s a conspiracy or something!!!!#i deleted my original post talking about this because I think i was a bit too annoyed in that one#and did not really think through my opinions on it#so i am sorry for being pretty reactive#i still believe in the gist of what i was saying but I didn’t articulate it well#and it sounded like i was ragging on jannik which i was NOT#anyways. sorry#here we are again

För länge sedan i världen fanns | Once upon a time there was En svinaherde, en stenhipp man | A pig breeder, a really cool man Och en prinsessa, stolt jungfru hon var | And a princess, a proud maiden she was En dag möttes de och han steg fram och sa: | One day they met and he stepped up to her and said: [lyrics]
Nygammal vals (Hip man svinaherde), Lill Lindfors & Svante Thuresson | Sweden, Eurovision Song Contest Grand Prix de la Chanson Européenne 1966
#eurovision#esc#eurovision 1966#sweden#sweden '66#lili lindfors#svante thuresson#60s#gif#op#{lyrics}#this wasn't supposed to be a lyrics post#but I was really curious about the theme of the song#because of how they interact here#and those are only the first few lines but it' enough to get the gist of the dynamic portrayed here#(if you want to know what the pig breeder said to the princess you can just follow the link)#my other question watching this performance was#who is the flute guy that features so prominently#and that was sahib shihab#a jazz musician originally from the us who moved to scandinavia in the late 50s#so now you know that

i just saw a post about not wanting the guys to get out of the mafia deal in tsc3 and it got me thinking about what I would actually want from the next book so here it goes:
My TSC3 hopes and dreams:
as stated, i do not want them to get out of that deal and i don't want there to be the moriyamas downfall
i don't think that will actually happen but i also don't want jean and jeremy getting married in that book
i want them to get together though, obviously
i want jean to get closer to his other teammates and i want more casual interactions between them
i absolutely do not want any one of the trojans to get a red card
i want to find out more about jean's family because i think he and neil underestimated them and some shit is going to go down
i want jean to give jeremy a ride on the motorcycle
i want more postcards from kevin
after tsc i used to want jeremy to snap like a glowstick and have a proper breakdown about his family situation but after tgr i don't think i want that anymore
i do want jeremy to get out of that fucking house though and out of his family's control
it would be fun if he talked to allison about it but i don't thinnk it'll happen
i want them to address this comparison jeremy has in his head about jean's trauma being so much worse and therefore real while his own is nothing
lastly, because the girl im seeing insist it will happen and i categorically disagree, i do NOT think anything will happen to jabberwocky. that dog is making it out of this series alive and well
#i will probably have more as the brainwors continue to consume me but that's the gist for now#i think i might elaborate on a few points because i actually have many thoughts#tsc#aftg tsc#tgr spoilers#maybe#idk if anything here really counts as spoilers but just to be sure
