#YOU WERE ALWAYS GOLD TO ME.

[grand-theft-carbohydrates]

very tempted to add to the type of "wine-dark* sea" discourse on ancient colour names and call blue AND green by the same name. gonna start innocuous and say things that could be ambiguously green/blue like "the sky was as clear as jade", and then clothesline unsuspecting readers with "the blue grass and trees". the best part of writing is the PVP.

**my hot take is that red wine served in a clay (opaque) vessel would just look black, so it's describing a dark, stormy sea. source: i drink wine out of teacups.

It was completely different from the view from the deck. Instead of looking up at it, here, on the mast, he was absorbed by the wind, one with the endless blue.

Threads of Gold: chapter six

wtf tumblr i wrote this post last night where did it go WELL WHATEVER I GUESS I’LL JUST WRITE A NEW ONE

ANYWAY TODAY IS STAR CONTROL 2: THE UR-QUAN MASTER’S 30TH ANNIVERSARY!! I love Starcon2 so much, it’s one of my favorite games of all time and if you’ve been around me for any period of time you’ve probably heard me talk about it. It shows up in things I make all the time, like the Orz’s influence on the goopmonster in Handplates, or people wearing Starcon2 shirts or having starmaps on their wall or having dimensional in-between areas be Quasispace colored. It’s everywhere! It had such a big impact on me, haha. It’s so good! It’s so good. And you can play it for free RIGHT NOW and you TOTALLY SHOULD i love it so much SO MUCH

Request 2: Drider Scriabin being aesthetic and spooky! Thought about how if you wear a headlamp outside at night, all the sparkles in the grass are tiny reflective spider eyes (personal experience with camping) and with his mirror lenses being reflective, it sparked a mental image of scary spider man in the dark with his 'eyes' being the most visible thing by torchlight (or spell light). If you want, maybe something with pretty spiderwebs in the background because Spiderwebs! Are! Cool!

what are your thoughts on mania??

i LOVE mania, i genuinely think they’re a band that does not have a flop album, and it’s always so crazy to me how much hate it always got (and i still see it get) because it’s genuinely so! and it was such an interesting shift because it was so very very much fall out boy but there’s an exploration there and while stardust is definitely the album and era of healing and the boys™️ there’s such a love in the lyricism of mania that is just unlike anything else in fall out boy’s discography that i just think is fascinating and beautiful and just genuinely love the album so much

Opinion, I miss pop punk that used to be just like fun. I miss when the songs sounded like first date by blink-182 just like cheesy stupid but you loved it. I think the closest we have to that now is games we play and girlfriends but that’s it maybe magnolia Park.

Ohhh. Interesting 🧐 I’d say I agree with your first point, but hard disagree on the second;

Of course songs like First Date, My Friends Over You, The Anthem etc. have that quintessential fun and ‘bouncy’ pop-punk sound and I LOVE those songs to death

I also do agree there’s much more of an notion - and an unnecessary one at that - in modern pop-punkers that there has to be an element of seriousness & maturity, both musically and lyrically

I mean hell, look at Broadside’s latest stuff compared to anything off Old Bones, or The Wonder Years’ latest album compared to Melrose Diner; I can definitely see where you’re coming from with the ‘where’d the fun go?’ kinda feeling

BUT!! ☝️ I disagree that there’s not as many fun pop-punkers these days, we’ve still got plenty!

We’ve of course got the guys you mentioned who are all great, but we also still get that fun & bouncy energy in the latest releases from State Champs, WSTR, Between You & Me, Neck Deep and plenty more, including Blink themselves!

(Dgmw, Edging is no First Date, but it’s certainly still a lot of fun!)

I mean, come on, have a listen through all these and tell me they don’t sounded infectiously fun! 😄

These guys are still turning up, still giving us that fun, energetic, bouncy, unabashed pure pop-punk sound 🤘🖤

Pop-Punk’s Not Dead and it’s still just as fun as ever my friend! 🖤

Straight dean truthing deangirls have a special place in my heart actually. Not for their opinions on Dean's sexuality specifically but because who else is supposed to make straight-truthing bibros think twice about getting too chummy with "Dean should be Sam's little pogchamp" SPN thesis posts. You think any of those people care what you think??? A bi-dean truther??? A destiel shipper??? No they are all straight dean posting together and then a sam-leaning bibro says Dean didn't support Sam enough in season 4 and the blades come out.

Ive been going through a really rough time rn, and i am gonna be completely honest: Gold Rush is one of the only things keeping me going. Every Wed and Sat i keep refreshing around the same time you usually update, and seeing 'next chapter' pop up makes me so happy.

Then it hit me: how much this fic really means to me. Its really helping me take things one day at a time, which is difficult in my situation. This fic is literally like, the one good thing in my life rn. So, thank you. To some it may be a fun fic. But to me, its a reason to keep going and not give up.

:) I'm so happy my little fic can be of so much help
