OC Name Meanings

I wasn't tagged, but I saw this come across my dash and I really want to do it ( I have OC mania/brainrot, and I am not sorry)

Rules: Google and post the meaning of your OC’s name (if you made their name up or they go by a nickname, post an explanation of how it came to you)! bonus if you can find something for their last name too

Tagging: Literally ANYONE that wants to do it - everyone deserves a chance to rant (I know it's less of a "game" that way, but we all deserve some fun!) I WILL directly call out @rishamonkey and @apriltastic tho <3

Neri (Dekarios, after she marries Gale): Pronounced nair-ee, rhymes with Mary. (Hebrew: נֵרִי) (lit. "my candle/lamp") is a unisex given name mainly used in Israel. It's derived from "Ner" which means candle in Hebrew. It is a variant form of "Neriya",[1] meaning "Yah (יהו/יה) is my candle (נֵרִי)".

I actually didn't know this meaning (I came across the name one day when I was researching for work and I loved it), but it fits SO WELL for her character both in Curse of Strahd and BG3. Like, if I didn't know that I HADN'T planned that, that would feel VERY planned.

Dighnilah Khayali: Pronounced deny-la kai-yah-lee. Dighnilah I made up. I've always been a language lover/linguist at heart, and language learning and foreign languages were my focus of study in college. It's one of the few things I'm naturally good with, and I also experience ASMR, so the way words sound hold special meaning on their own for me. That's how I came up with Dighnilah - purely by sound. I liked how it sounded and felt in my mouth (lol). If I were to make up a definition/meaning it would be something like "Unbridled elegance."

Khayali: Originating from Indian and Bengali languages, Khayali is a lovely girl’s name that means “a woman lost in her own wonderland.”

Riza (no known surname): Pronounced ree-zah. As an Indonesian and Albanian name, Riza comes from the Arabic name Ridha (رضا), which means 'satisfaction' or 'contentment.' I didn't choose this name based on meaning, either, but once again by sound. However, since I didn't make this one up and it is a real name, I had to look up the meaning. And, hey, it also really works for her character! Am I . . . intuitive about name meanings based on sound? (jk, I wish I were that powerful).

Leone Trevelyan: Pronounced lee-own. Meaning "lion." Leone is a gender-neutral name of Latin origin. I didn't choose based on meaning (I'm clearly bad at that, huh?) but rather it is the name of a sibling of one of my grandpas (great aunt?) that I always loved the sound of. Plus the one time I visited her she made me pie and pie is my favorite, so fond memories all around. I also liked how it flowed with the default "Trevelyan" name of a human MC in DAI.

However, considering she romances Cullen, the whole "lion" thing, once again, fits XD

Margu Amell: Pronounced mar-goo. Meaning "name of a goddess." Derived from Hindu (though there are MANY cultures and languaged that use this name). Although this is my DAO mage warden's name, I actually most recently (and in the first place) used it for the Touchstarved demo, in which MC has no known surname. And given that THAT character has the "Fallen Oracle" background the name is once again incredibly suited!

[talewrites]

okay so first of all-

I couldn't find you in my following list so I searched up your url and this came up

Yes, it really was.

ANYWAY how old are your characters? heights? builds? basically what do they look like? how long does it take to warm up to each other? Is Ava taller than DeAngelo bc (and I don't want you to change the storyline in anyway just letting my mind run) if she is taller than him I think the part about him annoying her while following her home would include questions like "so like, whatdya eat? to get so tall I mean" "Man wish I was that tall, dya wear tall shoes or sum?" "How good exactly are your genetics?"

I might just draw this-

Are their personalities like; Ava takes a while to warm up to people but is really sassy and funny when you get to know her? DeAngelo really fuckin annoying when you first meet him (in kinda like a cocky way but not if that makes sense? like he seems like he's cocky but he's just annoyingly stupid?) but he's really sensitive and can get serious (like braydin bridges from Swolemates if yk it?)

How long have you been working on your book? where are you hoping to get it published? I hope it sells really well (not saying it wont i think it'll be a really good read) so it sells fast in Australia (i live here :cry:) and i can get me hands on it :)

Aw that’s so kind of you!!! Thank you!

Indian ASMR | Indian spa & facial cleanup | extremely tingly layered sounds to make you fall asleep

By IndianGirl ASMR

 Loved the balance of sounds here, how the mixture of audio elements and her voice really add to the role play. Full of great personal attention touches.

[lovemesomesurveys]

Snow or sand? I love the beach, but hate the sand. It literally gets everywhere. I love the snow, though. I wish it snowed where I live. I’ll have to go with snow.

Do you like sour candy? No. I don’t like the sourness and it irritates my mouth. 

If anyone, who did you sit with at lunch today? It’s only 5AM. I’m also not in school nor do I have a job, so I just have lunch at home either by myself in my room or with my mom in the living room or her room. That’s if I have lunch at all. 

What is the last letter of your favorite song? I couldn’t choose just one favorite song ya’ll know this.

Have you gotten any injuries lately? If so, what & how? No.

Are you a clumsy person? I bang my hand and elbow a lot.

How about disorganized? My room is a bit disorganized. I never used to let it get like that, but it’s a reflection of how I feel and have felt for the past few years. I’m a mess.

Have you ever thought about being a pirate? No.

If you text, who were the last three people you texted? My dad, mom, and brother. 

Does today’s date mean anything to you? Nope.

How are you currently feeling? Tired and kinda cold. 

Last male you talked to in person? My brother.

Have you ever had a sunburn? Yeah, many times. I got them a lot as a kid cause I actually used to play outside and spent a lot of time out there. Shocking, I know. I get them when I go to the beach as well. I’ve had some really painful ones. However, they always end up turning into a tan so that’s nice. 

Do you use Firefox or Internet Explorer? Neither, I use Chrome.

Are you thinking about asking anyone out? No.

Pink lemonade or regular lemonade? I’m not a fan of lemonade.

Chocolate or strawberry milk? Strawberry.

Does it annoy you when people answer surveys with “idk”? I know I say “I don’t know” a lot. I try to answer the questions and in more detail, but sometimes I really just don’t know.

What is the current time? 5:08AM.

Should you be doing something other than this? Probably try to go to sleep, but that just wouldn’t be me now would it.

What was the weather like today? It’s supposed to rain today. We haven’t had much rain this winter, in fact it’s been awhile, so I hope it does. Do you often write on yourself? I don’t do that anymore, but I did when I was younger. For some reason that was like a thing a lot of people did to themselves in middle and high school. *shrug*

Is there writing on the shirt you are currently wearing? Yes. It’s a shirt from a place I vacationed at.

Would you rather be cold or hot? Cold, most definitely. I love wrapping up in a blanket, wearing a sweatshirt or hoodie, drinking hot coffee, or sitting by the fireplace. I love the coziness. Being hot is just absolutely miserable, there’s nothing I enjoy about that.

Frosted flakes or frosted mini wheats? I like both.

Do mushrooms really add flavor to food? I don’t eat mushrooms. 

What about onions? Yeah. I don’t mind if there’s some chopped up pieces in some foods and I like onion rings, but I don’t like onions on my burgers or in my burritos or anything like that.

Are you a fan of Thai food? I’ve never had it.

How about Indian food? I had chicken curry once, which I did like. I couldn’t have it now though cause I can’t eat spicy food anymore. :/

Have you ever tried sushi? Yes, and it was absolutely disgusting. I feel like everyone loves sushi but me.

My plans now just consist of my once a month doctor appointment that I have to go to in order to get my prescription refills.

Did you wake up in the middle of the night last night? No, I didn’t even go to bed until like 6ish.

Do you trip a lot? No.

Shokugeki no Soma: The Next Gen (PART 1)

Part 2 // (Disclaimer: pictures are made with Picrew)

Yukihira Soma - Nakiri Erina

Yukihira Jin ♂

Taking all Joichiro’s features-- brownish hair, hazel eyes. Though his hair is shorter and messier like Soma’s.

Would describe his cooking specialty as “comfortably modern Japanese cuisine”. He does a lot of food-hybriding too.

May look brash and haphazard, but he surprises people with his dedication to being delicate for desserts.

To him, having Erina’s God Tongue is a blessing and a curse because he can taste even the very minor flavor like when a Périgord truffle “has too much taste of dirt”.

Jin even tried smoking once like his dad to dullen his palate, which made Erina furious, but after Jin explained how depressed it makes him, Erina can sort of relate and let him vape once a week, as Soma suggested.

Since then, he has been cooking happily, and is known as 'Spawn of Asura'.

Hayama Akira - Arato Hisako

Hayama Kana ♀

A friend of the animals. Decided to go vegetarian for both cooking and eating at the age of 12.

Her feminine aura charms everyone around her. Even her cooking specialty is feminine with a lot of gentle colors and flavor profiles.

Also takes a liking to wildflowers especially the edible ones, which greatly inspires her cooking.

Friendly, warm, but doesn’t talk much when it’s not necessary.

Akira taught her about Indian spices, which is now her comfort food.

Hisako also got her into tea and scented candle obsession.

The only girl Jin has eyes on, but she hasn’t taken any liking towards him.

Takumi Aldini - Tadokoro Megumi

Julius Ren Aldini ♂

May look like your typical ladies man-- all Don Juan vibe, gorgeous blonde hair that drops to his shoulder, oceanic blue eyes, but is actually a softie and feels awkward when talking to girls.

Has his dad’s charm. At least half of the female population at Totsuki is crazy about him, but the only girl knotting his stomach is Hayama Kana… whom he only gazes at.

Very close to Megumi. Tohoku is probably his favorite place in the entire world since it inspires his Japanese home cooking specialty. Also does really great bentos.

Not as inventive as his brother in terms of Italian cooking, though he speaks the language quite fluently.

He and his twin brother, Marco, hang out regularly with Yukihira Jin-- only natural for them since their mom is best friends with his dad.

Marco Rei Aldini ♂

The twin brother who is always so extra in everything he does. The competitive, overachiever one. HATES to lose.

Obviously has that infamous Aldini temper he got from Takumi.

Naples is his favorite city. He loves going on an art tour, which his brother would happily tag along, but the only Italian he knows are the curse words.

His Italian cooking specialty is inventive, adventurous, and he tries to be as original as possible. Is not afraid to break the strict Italian cooking rules in order to reach greater heights (possibly to smear it all over Yukihira Jin’s face).

Lowkey attracted to Jin, though would never admit it to anyone’s face.

Valeria Ran Aldini ♀

Though three years younger than her brothers, she’s always been the mediator whenever Julius and Marco disagree on things, which is a lot.

Aldini temper #2.

“When will you both shut up? Marc, you’re an ass. Jul, you’re a wimp.” Is her go-to line. Megumi chokes on her tea every time when Takumi face-palmed himself.

But if a jerk at school dares to mess with her, she can always rely on her brothers to be her personal bodyguards.

She has a more mature side that her brothers don’t have, though. She always seems to have a way to solve problems and could be an excellent listener.

Currently having fun trying different cuisine and cooking style.

Kurokiba Ryo - Nakiri Alice

Nakiri Alicia ♀

Alicia is what people nowadays called an "influencer".

A few hundred thousand followers on Instagram earned her the most popular status at Totsuki. The queen bee.

She follows food trends and will try anything as long as it's in season, no matter how outrageous it might sound. Sushi donuts, cough syrup-flavored boba, name it.

Other than a certified foodie, Alicia also posts ASMR cooking, which of course, aesthetically pleasing and easy enough to follow.

But in Shokugekis, Alicia has so many French molecular gastronomy tricks up her sleeves and is an undefeatable beast to others. Thanks to Mommy Alice.

Of course, cousin Jin is giving her a run for her money, but they are pretty much each other's equal.

Kurokiba Athena ♀

Earned the nickname 'Dark Horse' after a successful Shokugeki with the current 4th seat as a middle school student.

Our EdgeLord™.

Like her big sister, Athena was born with white hair but later decided to split-dye her hair black to embody the similar vibe she has with Ryo.

Her favorite ingredient is charcoal. She cooks any of her specialty with charcoal. And is the only food trend she's happily participated in.

Athena is also familiar with seafood since Ryo always takes her fishing. She even learned how to fillet a salmon with her eyes closed.

Has an infamous rivalry with Hayama Kana. Their iconic, 6-hour long Shokugeki was so popular that some people had to sit outside and watch through the screen.

Eventually, Ryo would inherit his red bandana to her.

February 2020

I managed to use my iPad as a second monitor for my computer. So tech savvy. Yay me!

Joking about developing a sex-based cardio programme with Manu. Powerfucking! Might help against aggression as well.

A late night phone call with Tom. Not saying much.

Making a huge pot of my grandmother’s signature veggie stew.

More Bon Appétit test kitchen videos. Chris recreating tacos. Claire making Ben&Jerry’s. Priya making her mum’s Indian curries.

Writing a letter to Lena. Drawing upside down bats (which makes them look like they’re having a wicked dance-off). Just the act of writing. I thoroughly enjoy looking at my handwriting.

Using the Salted Coconut handscrub by Lush. Especially now that I wash my hands so often when we’re working with clay at school. I feel like the peeling triggers some pressure points on my palms.

That Saturday productivity high. Cooking and preparing heaps of stuff, cleaning the windows, doing laundry.

Painting my nails like an expressionist artist.

Some portrait studies. Accidentally drawing Sirius Black.

Being really motivated to improve my Spanish. Working with Lorena, the Duolingo app and even starting my own grammar/vocabulary book.

This ultra quirky ASMR video. Also: watching videos with Erin an her boyfriend Chris. It’s amazing how well they work together. How you can almost feel their connection, how similar they are.

Carrot cake oats.

Seeing the The Darkness live again, this time with Margit. Justin’s outfit and personality, singing along, especially to Time of my Life, the band’s traditional first song after the show.

Meeting Chris. Having a Bramblette cocktail at Pusser’s. I like that place. Feels very old-timey with a rowing boat right under the ceiling. We made out in front of a tiger slide in a toy store window on our way to the next bar.

Peeling fresh carrots.

Pickling onions and making kimchi. My fermentation game is strong these days!

Looking through Dominik’s sketchbook. I loved the tree whose bark resembled a mole burrow with its underground tunnel system.

The flu. Yes, really. Fewer pupils at school. Quiet times. I’m actually surprisingly healthy. I’d guess my probiotics must play a role here… Who knows.

More sourdough experiments. Writing about it (DELICACY - a haiku. Oven-warm sourdough / salted butter, alpine cheese / and a strawberry).

Finding a really interesting list of SanFran hippie era book recommendations at the end of Robin Sloan’s Ajax Penumbra: 1969. In the mood to read Maya Angelou, Tom Wolfe, Jack Kerouac, Richard Brautigan.

Even more beautiful books: I really enjoyed Die weiße Stadt by Karolina Ramqvist, a feminist author from Sweden, and the graphic novel version of To Kill a Mockingbird. But two books that literally (well, figuratively obviously) blew my mind were Circe by Madeline Miller (mythology, loneliness, animals and plants, magic and monsters, some desperate kind of feminism, independence and strength) and Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo (magical realms, university setting, psychological depth, unexpected twists and turns). I haven’t read anything comparable in a very long time and I desperately hope that there’s more to come from these authors.

A beach collecting all the world’s single socks in The Magicians. Oh and of course seeing them break the moon. What a sight. The show is super confusing, obnoxious and absolutely fabulous at the same time. Best example: the Freaky Friday szene in which Margo and Eliot switch bodies. I love how the actors took on each other’s speech patterns and behaviour.

A new addition to my colour vocabular: celadon (a greyish green; there is a type of ceramics you’ll only see in this colour which is not surprising since the shade provides such an interesting contrast to the the earthy, rusty orange of burnt clay.)

Manu telling me that he had rarely seen people with more joy in their eyes than me (“Ich habe schon Freude in deinen Augen gesehen! So ein Leuchten kann man nicht simulieren.”) after complaining about being bored and lifeless. / Making curry with or, well, for him the other night. Drinking Liqueur 43 with cinnamon and milk. Playing the Jackbox party games for which you can use your phone as a controller.

Finding myself in a well-known sitation from the past. Lying in Frank’s bed in the early morning hours, not that tired yet, when he starts talking about his life and his depression. In English, obviously, because that’s our emotional filter. Relating, since I feel quite similar. Coming up with a suggestion for a reciprocal support system. Let’s see what we can do for each other.

Looking at travel photographs. The sea, the cenotes. Longing to go back to Mexico or Australia. Diving. Taking it all in.

Dreaming of my grandmother talking about her biggest regrets in life. Weirdly she was in a little bundle under a coffee table, much like Voldemort in the last Harry Potter movie.

My weird, weird brain. How both pleasure and pain enhance my sense of smell and increase my brain activity, almost causing hallucinations and fixations on ideas. Like geometric shapes in gloomy off-colours and a beige silicon-like surface the other night. All I could think of was a benchscraper.

Blue eyeliner.

Brainstorming three-letter-words with Frank since I’m thinking of getting personalised Nike Blazers. Sad cat. Yes but. Dat ass. Why tho.

Flying squirrels. Watching them wobble through the air. How they look like cute exhibitionist when they’re extending their limbs and thus stretching their, well, let’s just call it wings.

The fact that red cabbage has an intricate pattern like brain convolutions when you cut it open.

Talking to Sonja for the first time in over two years. What a strange person. Interesting, too. At least in homeopathic doses.

Ripe strawberries and nectarines. Oh my god. I love fruit.

Meeting Eve at Pub Quiz. She identifies as female, loves swing dance, used to be an animator and I love her style. Also, I realised that really like Betty. And Dennis wasn’t mean to me for once. I love my nerd friends <3 And I learned that Starbucks was named after the first mate in Moby Dick! Also, coincidentally they asked a question about the city where To Kill a Mockingbird takes place (Maycombe, Alabama) after I had read it the week before.

Inviting Lorena to the Botanical Gardens. I always feel very happy and very much myself when I’m there. I sometimes wish I was a gardener. Lorena was late so I walked along the Spring Path outside and it might have been the first time I’ve seen a brussels sprouts plant. Inside I learned lots of Spanish words and marveled at the incredible butterflies. The huge yellow one right behind the entrance was my favourite. Its delicate feelers were fascinating.

Washing my hands at the Keg’s bathroom. Looking into the mirror. Suddenly thinking of the perfect karaoke song… Rescue Me by Bell Book and Candle! I kept singing it for days on repeat. My neighbour must hate me (nothing new here) especially since my voice is too low for the chorus.

It isn’t hard to see how such attachment patterns can undermine mental health. Both anxious and avoidant coping have been linked to a heightened risk of anxiety, depression, loneliness, eating and conduct disorders, alcohol dependence, substance abuse and hostility. The way to treat these problems, say attachment theorists, is in and through a new relationship. On this view, the good therapist becomes a temporary attachment figure, assuming the functions of a nurturing mother, repairing lost trust, restoring security, and instilling two of the key skills engendered by a normal childhood: the regulation of emotions and a healthy intimacy. // An interesting article on attachment styles and why theraphy works; it makes me want to learn more about attachment theory. This School of Life video is a nice addition as well.

That dream. About a book shop modeled after my picture of Penumbra’s 24-hour bookstore. There was an old man in a very narrow but high-ceilinged room full of books. There was no light source except for moonlight or some street lights. There were loads of stairs, very steep, leading to the back of the house. Upstairs the man would set out cat food and on the rooftop there was an old sailing boat. One day the man decided to open the door to the roof and let visitors see the ship, much like a museum; perhaps to attract customers. However, in the next night a cat-shaped ghost appeared who reminded me quite a lot of Kot Behemoth character in Mikhail Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita. The ghost was not amused about the old man’s decision and took away his key, a big golden one adorned with a red ribbon.

Toasted sesame makes pretty much every dish so much better.

Watching High Fidelity with gorgeous Zoe Kravitz (I adore her effortless style and her outfits), getting in the mood for making a playlist and listening to more music in general. There are all these great songs out there I forgot about.

Remembering the xkcd storm chaser comics.

Making a wicked good batch of Pho for Tom.

Spending a nice evening with Alex at Shamrock. Singing along to American Boy by Estelle. Confirming the hypothesis that the nerdy, quiet ones usually have a freak streak. That moment in the morning. Eye contact and kegel exercises.

Karaoke with Margit and Betty. Meeting Manu’s doppelganger. Same type, looks, voice. Eerie.

Making a BA Gourmet Makes meme for Steffen after he had passed his law examps. Strangely Gaby kinda looked like him after I was done with it.

Saturday morning in bed. Reading comics and graphic novels. Fresh bedclothes, surrounded by books. Since it was February 29 I thought about leap years and asked a few friends what their inner seven-year-old would have done that day (based on the thought experiment that your birthday was on February 29 and you’d age in 4-year-steps which would divide your age by 4 obviously).      

I came up with: visiting grandma / eating Cini-Minis / falling asleep with my face buried in a cat / beating my neighbour Anna at Memory / drawing while listening to a Bibi Blocksberg cassette.

Alex said he’d have been outside all day, building a snow igloo. Not noticing his mum telling him to come to dinner. If the weather had been bad he would have played with his dinosaur collection. His inner 7-year-old was a hopeless dreamer who got agitated whenever his parents had a fight. Who came home late from school every day because he forgot about time when he was talking to his friend next to a hedge with thorns that looked like tiny airplanes.

Lena said she would have been outside all day long, playing in the mud with the neighbours’ kids. Of course.

What's your favorite snack? I love anything deep-fried, honestly. Corndogs, mozzarella sticks, onion rings...I could eat platters of those. Pigs-in-a-blanket is an easy dish to make so I admittedly eat those a lot. What's your favorite ethnic food? Indian, Indonesian, and Thai. I have yet to try Ethiopian and Middle Eastern cuisine (other than shawarma) but I bet they’re just as bomb. I like banh mi and spring rolls, but that’s all I like from Vietnamese cuisine. What country would you like to visit most? Right now, Thailand! It’s got so much culture and spirit and history (and food) and I don’t know why I still haven’t gone there so far. Soon :) What color hair does your mom have? It’s been black for a while, but back in her old positions she had had to have blondish highlights or something. I thought it made her look cool. When did you last go to a theater to see a movie? Gabie and I watched Portrait of a Lady on Fire last Monday. If I didn’t read the synopsis before watching, I probably would have cried as hard as she did.

What is the last movie you watched? ^ Well, that. It was a movie first screened at Cannes, and then it has a limited release here for a month as part of a local film festival. What's the last thing you cooked? LMAO I don’t cook. I last microwaved leftover bangus from last night though. Whose birthday is closest to today's date? (someone you know) Gab’s little sister’s birthday is today...but other than that, idk probably Ara? It was her birthday last Monday or Tuesday. What's your favorite number? I don’t have favorites but 4 is always my go-to. Have you ever been in love? Sure. Do you believe in ghosts? They’re fun to believe in but at the end of the day I still like being critical about what they call ~alleged sightings~ Have you ever been to a haunted house? Nope. I’ve stayed across one, but I didn’t go in. Is your house haunted? I’m sure it isn’t, because we only had it built a decade ago. There’s been a few times my dad’s car started on its own though, so that was weird. What's your favorite chocolate bar? It’s not a bar because it’s round-shaped, but I’ll always love Reese’s. What kind of tissues do you prefer? The thicker kind, I guess. What color hair did you have when you were in 9th grade? Black.

Do you have a cat? My sister does. But she lives in a dorm so my mom and I are in charge of caring for her while she’s gone. Do you know anyone in another country? I used to be friends with a lot of wrestling fans in Europe and the US. I knew people from Philadelphia, California, Florida, Maine, New York, Scotland, London, Ireland, UK, etc but there’s probably more places I’ve left out. I have family living all over America too. How old are you? I am 21. How many US states have you been to? I have been to a grand total of zero. How many Australian states have you been to? Also zero. Have you ever been to the Great Lakes Mall? Nope. What face wash do you use? Water. Do you have long or short hair? It’s so long now, I hate it. I’m gonna chop everything off really soon. What's your favorite book? I don’t really have any. Do you drink more water or pop? Water. I don’t drink ‘pop.’ What's your favorite flavor of kool-aid? I don’t drink any Kool-Aid either. Do you watch Survivor Man? Nope. Have you ever wanted to be on a game show? Sure, when I was a kid. It would get frustrating if it’s a trivia show and I know the answer to a question, but I see them struggling or picking the wrong answer lmao. Do you know who Ben Bailey is? Nope. What's your myspace URL? Lol Do you eat organic food? Very rarely. There’s a vegan food stall in school and I get to eat organic stuff there, but I go there probably like once every six months only. Are you an insomniac? Nope, I sleep soundly these days. Do you provoke people? I hope I don’t lmao Do you watch wrestling? :D :D :D Do you wear glasses? Yep, I’m wearing them right now.

Side note: Some girl stepped on my glasses (I set them on the floor earlier for PE, because they tend to fall off when I do my workouts) and they kinda bent a little bit :( I was able to fix it back and the girl was super apologetic though, so it’s all good in the hood. How many candles were on your last birthday cake? I didn’t blow any, but there would have been 21. What kind of music do you listen to? Punk, pop, top 40, jazz, rock, pop rock, hip hop, and whatever genre Joji is. Do you wear matching socks? Yeah, I get very uncomfortable when I wear different individual socks. How many pairs of jeans do you have? Like 10-15 maybe. Idk though, I don’t wear a bunch of them. Where will you go tomorrow? I’m staying home and I can’t wait. Do you make fun of people you don't know? If they’re arrogant shits who did something stupid, then yes. Do you reject Satan? Wow idk how to answer this question lmao Are you violent? After moving out from my violent childhood home, I gradually phased out the violence. But yes, I used to be. It was all I ever saw. Do you like ginger ale? No, I’ve never tried it. It sounds nasty though. Do you eat fast food a lot? Not a lot, but enough for it to be unhealthy for me. Have you ever gotten in a fist-fight? Nah. Did you play pokemans as a kid? POKEMANS LMAO  Do you believe taking a picture of someone is taking a piece of their soul? No. Would you rather be hot or cold? Cold. Do you use wikipedia? Sure. It was one of the first websites I ever used since discovering the Internet. Do you spend a lot of time on YouTube? Yessssss I love YouTube. There’s always something for someone to watch, and for me it’s ASMR mukbang videos and Mario Kart 8 playthroughs. Do you use google search or yahoo? Google. I haven’t used Yahoo in a hot minute. Have you ever been locked up? No. Was your step mother terrible? I don’t have one. Can you eat in the dark? No. I could try, but I’d just be bugged because I wouldn’t want to get messy. Do you know anyone who doesn't care about anything but themselves? Sure. Are you mean to people you don't know? No, unless they were mean to me first. Are you trustworthy? Sure. Have you ever been hospitalized? Just once.

For some bizarre reason, Blogger keeps un-publishing today’s Album Month post claiming it violates community guidelines without telling me how. It’s just like all of my other album posts, and I even took out all of the photos (even the cover) just in case it was copyright, so I am VERY confused. Thus, I shall post it in its entirety here.

10: Björk - Utopia

(2017 – One Little Indian)

Iconic Women Week continues here in Album Month - August 2022! Day 03 (Day 10 overall) belongs to the absolutely wonderful and creative force that is Icelandic goddess Björk, and her 2017 piece of lovely, Utopia.

Once again going back to when I was a tween/teen, one Sunday night I was watching MTV's 120 Minutes here in the US when I was supposed to be sleeping. Taking in the post punk/post rock, college and modern rock, the alternapop/alternarock, I was introduced to an Icelandic band called the Sugarcubes. It was the first single of what would become their last new album as a band, and I was immediately interested when the music began. The song was "Hit", and the moment she started singing, I was hit with awe by the voice of the woman on the screen. I learned her name was Björk. When she went solo, and "Human Behavior" came out, I was transfixed and completely hooked. I bought Debut and she, along with other female artists I discovered then, would become an integral piece of my musical landscape, my musical DNA. (I will use similar phrasing yet again tomorrow, just so you know. When the words fit and work, then you use them. lol)

I’d been holding out forever to listen to today’s album because I had wanted my first listen to be via a physical copy of the album. In that complicated thing I have with music these days (I will write about that eventually), that copy never happened. Thus, I had only heard a song or two via promotional videos. I had a strong feeling this would be like a continuation of Vespertine, but years later after many chapters have passed. I finally decided that, physical copy or not, I needed to finally hear Utopia, and that I did.

Right out of the gate, Utopia pulls me into a dreamy world, like growing, billowing pale pink clouds expanding in the sky with "Arisen My Senses". The single, "Blissing Me", is easily the most accessible song (and one of my favorites) on the album, but that doesn't mean it fits among the radio fare. It continues the dreamy, otherworldly feel that just gets more dreamy and otherworldly as the album progresses. This isn't music you drive or do your dishes to. This is music you sit or lay and let surround you. It's easily a headphones or good sound system kind of album (surround, if you can).

Another favorite on the album, "The Gate", was and is an ASMR surprise for me in my scalp and back as I listened. It's such a lovely vocal, and there are so many sound surprises and layers… this song…this whole album is a layered, ethereal masterpiece. The big stand out track is the unique "Body Memory". I find it goes through so many dimensions lyrically, like the trajectory of revisiting romantic relationships after a long absence from them and what it evokes within this soul. (I have not read up on it as I didn't want to be totally spoiled, so I don't know any specifics as to what the song really is.) It has these amazing choral backings, and the flow of the soundscapes move well with the trajectory, shifting flawlessly from moment to moment. Its length is simply the reality that great journeys often take time.

Is Utopia a continuation of Vespertine? I don't know if I would say that exactly, but I do feel they share some similar energy in different aspects, and I do think   it would fit well played right after Vespertine. They are definitely close relatives, just not fraternal twins.

With this album, Björk creates and weaves a beautiful heaven of woodwinds, choirs, and odd electronic landscapes made to hold you in angel's wings and drift you along a river of songs into a meadow of introspection and possibility. I would say that, yes, in this album, she has created a Utopia for your senses. And I am happy to get lost in it and never come back.

I had some friends, but we just hung out at school and after school events or just talked on the phone. I wasn’t the teenager that went to parties and snuck out of the house. If I did have a social life back then, I wouldn’t have had to lie about it cause I wouldn’t have been doing anything shady lol I was such a goody-good. Anyway, after high school I started to have a social life and hung out with friends and even though I was an adult, my family and I keep each other informed. That’s just how we are. Like, my mom lets me know if she’s running late or going to the store or something, my brother lets us know he’s hanging out with friends and what they might do (not a detailed play-by-play, just a general idea i.e going out to eat) and a text to check in if it’s late just to let us know he’s okay, and when I had a social life I did the same.
