#and then taz changed my brain chemistry

[bitchfitch]

whats the statue of limitations for cheating at art college? i was only there for 2 semesters and this is only about 1 class.

Eh whatever.

Anyways for some reason the school had a Really basic adobe illustrator class you had to take. and i liked the teacher well enough so it wasn't too bad, but the program just wasn't my cup of tea, especially since most of the assignments were done with the assumption that you didn't know how to draw at all and so you were just tracing images you found online to turn them into vectors.

And i grok what they were Trying to teach. but what it actually taught me was where the 'vectorize' button was.

favourite things: 2023 edition

last year i made one of these and i thought it'd be fun to make another one. i have a notion spreadsheet with all the media i watch/read/play throughout the year (not just things that came out this year!) and i give them ratings. these are the highs (and some of the lows) of 2023 (not in order).

Games

Tunic - such a great and beautiful game that i do not want to spoil. seriously, play it. if you like zelda, exploration, solving puzzles, and cute little foxes, then it's a must

Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - what can i say, i love a zelda

Portal 2 - just an even more excellent sequel to an excellent game

TV

Alice in Borderland - i didn't know what to expect at first but it was excellent and highly addictive

Not Me - my introduction to thai BL (for better and also definitely for worse lol). anyway this show changed my brain chemistry. it has everything: gays, a twin switch situation, leftism, arson, rooftop kiss... you know

Bad Buddy - speaking of rooftop kisses...... if you know you know. anyway this is also a thai BL and it's still rotating in my brain. i rewatched it almost immediately, that's how good it was

The King's Affection - cheesy historical kdrama about a crown prince who is secretly a woman, with a swoon-worthy romance and political intrigue. this one's for the bisexuals (after all, the male love interest falls in love with the prince before he finds out it's a woman)

Vinland Saga - this anime fucking wrecked me. season 2 had me crying every single episode. thorfinn is my new child and i WILL name my future cat after him

The Devil Judge - a kdrama about a dystopian south korea with a fucked up justice system. anyway kang yohan character of all time. oh and also toxic homosexuality (affectionate)

Books

The Poppy War trilogy by R. F. Kuang - what an excellent series to get me back into fantasy series. it was not without faults, but i was hooked anyway

Babel by R. F. Kuang - i read this brick in 5 days straight. it's beautifully written and has such interesting things to say about language and colonialism. again, it has flaws but i wasn't bothered, i was obsessed with this book

The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon - i didn't realise how much i missed high fantasy until i read this. it has lesbians, dragons, a bitter old homosexual, magic, and did i mention dragons and lesbians?

He Who Drowned the World by Shelley Parker Chan - the sequel to She Who Became the Sun, my favourite book of last year. this sequel fucking DELIVERED. i went insane about it multiple times. it's a must read

Graphic novels/manga

Witch Hat Atelier by Kamome Shirahama - i started this manga 2 years ago, but since it's still ongoing and I've read new chapters this year, it counts for this year as well

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run by Hirohiko Araki - not finished with it yet but it is truly as good as everyone says it is

The Adventure Zone: The Eleventh Hour by the McElroys and Carey Pietsch - i know not everyone likes the taz comics, but i do, i think theyre great adaptations, and this one looked incredible

Movies

Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse - not as good as the first one, but still really good. beautifully animated and extremely entertaining

Bonus: the lowest of the low, titles that earned my 'sucked shit' rating

Theory of Love - amazing that out of the 3 thai BLs ive watched, 2 managed to make it on my favourites list, and one of them was some of the worst television i've ever seen

Where the Crawdads Sing - read the book for book club last year, we all hated it, and now we decided to watch the movie for a laugh. it also sucked

Can i jump in the train of stories with older man that maybe are not appropriate but changed my brain chemistry???? I had a couple ones with my art teacher at highschool.

He was so mean and snarky, he hated his job but still did it pretty well, and even more that he had to. He kinda hated the rich and unpolite kids in my school, but he always was so nice and polite when he wanted(? Like he was the type of teacher that enjoyed failing students. 

We used to talk a lot about many topics and kinda gossip about some of my classmate that were rich kids who tought they had more right to everyone in the room. For more context I went to this private expensive school but I had a scholarship and grew up kinda low income in and old town before moving to the current city were I live, so it was so hard to me to adjust to this new environment, we kinda get along instantly, as we both hated be surrounded by rich children and the religious ideology of the school.

He used to wear cartoon ties, for example spongebob or looney tunes and I remember one time were we bump into each other at break and I saw he was wearing a Tweety tie and I said to him "oh my favorite one is Taz" And the next day he was wearing a Taz tie.

I didn't want to thing anything, but then I had art class with him and he approached and told me "see? I'm wearing your favorite?"

okaaayy want me to clap to you or something😭?? God I hated him. 

Anyways, I had a looot more stories with this teacher (nothing creep i swear) he was so kind in the inside and help me a lot when my life went hell at the time, got a special piece of my heart. He send me his greeting time to time with my lil brother that now goes to the same school.

Pd: I LOVE YOUR WORK, LIKE I FEEL LIKE A DESPERATE PERSON, I FEEL LIKE A RABID ANIMAL WITH YOUR GHOSTPSTAR SERIES LOOORD 😭💖 THANK YOU FOR YOUR WRITING IS AMAZING, LOV U.

-🦂 (idk if is taken lol)

AAAAAA what is happening and why do so many of us have deranged experiences with men and especially teachers lmao?

I’m laughing but also sort of crying because what is this man’s deal?! the way he’s still sending his regards with you little brother is unhinged, hahaha. I adore him for the cartoon character ties though like go weird little fashion icon (genuine).

eek and thank you so much for the compliments!! this entire ask got me grinning like an idiot, and I love you for that. sending you all the love!! 💕🦂

Making my way through Suffering Game on my taz balance relisten and man I have so much nostalgia for this arc. They gave me hot necromantic elves at 15 years old and expected it to not permanently change my brain chemistry

[ohbaby-here-we-go-again]

the way that taz skylar has genuinely changed my brain chemistry. I see a picture or video of him loose all ability to have a coherent thought.

[whoredad]

taz graduation episode 15 “out of order” fully changed my brain chemistry and fundamentally altered who i am as a person
