#and too small for me right now

I finally cleaned my depression hole excuse for a bedroom! I found out I had 10 math books, 3 grammar books, 5 binders, 22 folders, 28 notebooks, 11 sketchbooks, 17 dictionaries, 20 handfuls of pencils (regular and colored), 13 handfuls of pens and markers, it looks like I raided an office supplies store. I think I was accidentally a hoarder. I also found my first fanfiction and fanart, which were in my old elementary school binder.

under the cut for maybe some people that would like to try and guess *shruggs*

[bogkeep]

me: okay. i can work around the aurora pre-orders. plenty of americans willing to be my middle man if it comes to that. not living in america will not stop me!!!!!

the oh hellos, my favourite band that i wish to see live more than anyone else: hi we are going on our very probably last tour (only in the us)

me: hm. i think i'm going to cry actually

VARGASTOBER - day 2 : comfort

[silvermeww]

okay, when was someone going to tell me that

oh, idk, steven started at 19, burgh has a younger sister, clay actually isn't born american, skyla's whole fam thing and ELESA IS 15???? (even younger than skyla like wtf???)

(also the 'alder' at the bottom is supposed to be drayden lol)

and that's not all

say hello to:

viola being 18??? 'black whirlwind' korrina, RAMOS MEETING AZ'S FLOETTE AS A KID, genderfluid and apparently also age-fluid olympia, CLEMONT?? AND HIS WHOLE THING DOWN TO BEING 12 OF ALL AGES???

(you know what, marlon being 30 definitely makes sense with the hippie vibes)

wikstrom SAYING that he only wears that suit in pokemon battles but i've never seen his casual wear, malva being pr for flare lol, drasna selling dragon merch + great family lore if you want to know, siebold having to third-wheel lysandre and sycamore while eating (move aside malva, you're not the only elite 4 dealing with this) and 20?? YEARS OLD?? DIANTHA????????????

(way too many men in kalos are getting ladies, c'mon)

ethan being into history is such a neat detail hmmm, idk much of the frontier brains ngl, and we've finally got the region for looker and it's... hoenn??? you know what, makes sense with his chaotic vibes so i'll take it (throws away unova taped to a rock behind my back). also he's abolsutely cheating we all see that he's just relying on knowing us as protags, should've known smh

(um i think someone said that 'caitlin' should've been anabel but idk)

oh and the last one is charon, if we care about how much of a loser he really is. forget about birch and the poochyena, this guy is the lowest heh. imagine being charon (please don't).

(when the protags of johto are the same age as clemont lol) (yeah i know there are years between those events just let me have this)

and last but not least:

aaron 🤝 valerie: wanting to be pokemon (and ig gotta toss in shauntal with the ao3 writer gift heh, don't know if they would commission her or stay away), bertha's description???? i love flint just saying, cynthia 👀👀 is absolutely doing something illegal 👀👀, roark is WHAT??? (child labour laws in sinnoh must be lax ngl), maylene as well???? fantina watching scary movies is something i'll have to incorporate into my worldview and bryon?? are you okay??

so yeah. credit goes to @/KuroBlitz96 on the twitter/x for having this up, i'm just here to project sheer surprise at this massive dump of ages... my thoughts on pokemon have completely turned on its head once more lol (this is fine)

Mochi's finally getting a much needed tank upgrade 🩷

I'm making a DIY background for him with lots of climbing enrichment. I carved some ledges out of pink insulation board, used spray foam to attach them to the tank, and now i'm painting grout onto everything so it looks like rocks. Once the grout's dry I can paint it, then seal it all with a waterproof sealer.

I can't wait to move him into this!! He loves climbing, I think he's really going to love this tank 🥰

the sunbearer trials is everything i wanted in a main character (hes a trans man where him being trans isnt even in the top 5 most interesting things about him, in a story where not only does his being trans play *no* plot relevance at, but hes also a decent ways into his transition and nobody treats him as anything but a guy) and i love it so dearly for that alone

and *then* the author goes and makes teo super likable, funny, with god damn *wings* and gives him a super interesting world to live in and experience, its fantastic and i love the shit out of the sunbearer trials. i only just read it and i regret not reading it earlier

yall go read it. then tell everyone you know to go read it, this book is wonderful. its not perfect, i wont lie, but it is a solid young adult modern fantasy story with interesting, dynamic, diverse, and entertaining characters and a cool, if relatively vague and unexplored, magic system

plus a *ton* of lgbtq+ rep. in this world, the literal creator god is nonbinary, and many other gods are in queer relationships. a character being trans or loving someone of the same gender is hardly even noteworthy, which is a very nice change of pace imo

more stories where the main character just happens to be trans, not a trans main character, please! this story is awesome and im so glad i got to experience it

okay im done rambling now go read it

I was watching "wilson" with commentary by David Foster and Robert Sean Leonard and turns out wilson's dad has Alzheimer's but they chose not to reveal too much into his life in that episode

you ever get a beam of morbid curiosity and search something on ao3 just to see if it exists? well imagine my shock and surprise to find out that in the 25 years the smash bros franchise has existed, it appears nobody in the universe has sexualized the master hand even once. are the freaks of the world ok???

i think cottagecore is like the ultimate anti-rape culture white woman fantasy. it's a vision of reality where Girls* go to picnics and feed each other strawberries and kiss behind the willow trees, where nothing is ever bad or hurtful in a truly meaningful way, where love and safety is the unifying factor of reality. i'm frankly more surprised that some people ever thought this had anything to do with actual rural country life or farming-- at it's center, cottagecore is not just interested in getting away from the city to get away from capitalism or the other struggles of modern life. it's also, fundamentally, about getting away from Men, to a utopian garden of eden on the outskirts where Men simply do not exist, and therefore cannot harm or rape you.

*white, cis, skinny, traditionally attractive, etc.

so many of the Comforting aesthetics and purity politics that we have come to cultivate online in recent years come down to this idea, in my opinion-- a desire to find a Safe Space, to fade away into the fantasy of your Comfort Characters, to find the one singular location of true Stability in a world where everything else is fated to be horrible and terrible forever. it's the negative space of doomer culture, the pessimism that blew up after trump's first election, after the color-blind ignorance of the obama era was sufficiently destroyed by a horror so visible and blatant you simply cannot look away from it. it's no wonder so many of these aesthetics and ideas blew up to the degree that they did during 2020, in the midst of so much global instability and hopelessness. people wanted, and still want, something Pure and Good to take shelter within in the face of all this Evil-- a shell you can hide inside where everything will be perfect forever even as the storm rages on outside, beyond your control and beyond what you want to think about.

it's a flawed way of thinking, of course. black and white to an extreme. you can never find a place that is truly Pure and Good to the intense standards that you set, simply by nature of how those standards themselves are made and enforced-- not only are people simply too complex and nuanced, but the desire for something Freed From Evil itself inherently creates a more and more impossible standard, that is either overly-regulatory of anything that could be even a speck of Problematic™, or is necessarily blind to its own faults and biases (e.g. cottagecore as white lesbian tradwives). and, on the other side, the world outside is not Pure Evil either-- there is still hope to be found, ways in which we can make our systems work For Us, and ways in which we can change them (though those approaches may be difficult or require collaborative effort we, at the moment, simply have not coordinated).
