in case anyone following me has any genuine good-faith doubt: the war in ukraine is a tragedy. the invasion by the capitalist russian state is awful, i have utmost sympathy for the ukrainian people killed, displaced, and impoverished, and i only hope for peace in the region as soon as possible. because this is also a perspective you can get from literally anywhere on any mainstream western media outlet--you cannot go outside in europe without tripping over a ukrainian flag--it’s not one i generally feel the need to reiterate or boost on my blog.

hi i’m here for my routine (not really) random autistic screeching about a character from my childhood that I adore.
today’s victim;
“Oh” FROM DREAMWORKS’ HOME!
look at this man and Tell me he’s neurotypical.
look at him. He is so the first autistic Boov that didn’t mask.
he’s just like me fr fr.
like- LIKE.

Oh my goodness! I’m seriously about to cry. I just received the real, actual, physical book a friend made me of my WWI AU Andreil fic In Flanders Fields, and it’s gorgeous (it’s a RBB, the art can be found here and here or in the last fic chapter, and it’s SO great)
The cover is fabric (!) and khaki, and it’s actually a really common American misconception, but English troops in WWI wore not green but khaki
Look at the typesetting and the font it’s so gorgeous I just want to curl up in a rainy window
Like there’s a table of contents. Look, my endnotes are in the back. Look. I’m so emotional, I’m holding it in my hands, I can touch the pages. there’s a ribbon bookmark. Oh goodness

i hate living in a world where you can't find this to stream ANYWHERE. this should be made available at all times. a historical romance that's a critique of capitalism and greed, with a forbidden romance between the irish maid and the son of her rich boss? this is my titanic

Tagged by the lovely @ride-a-dromedary for a list of my current five favourite songs (in no particular order)!
Sunset - Makoto Matsushita
昔みたい - Mebae Miyahara
Tired - The Wandering Hearts
Doomscroller - Metric
Paraclete Bhishajyati - Fire-Toolz
As with any individual song recommendations, I always say to listen to the albums they come from, in addition! (Aside from the Mebae Miyahara, as that is not on Spotify and only half on YouTube).
If anyone also wants to do this, say you were tagged by me! I can always list five more :).

re your last post you’re so right. streaming culture has always bothered me but more and more lately i’ve realized that kpop (twitter mostly) stans don’t know how to just enjoy music. and like… it’s genuinely so sad for them. there’s so many great artists with great music but all they care about is numbers even if they don’t necessarily enjoy the song/album/mv. i feel like this also ties into people who are allergic to even the idea of stanning multiple groups but i digress
i think the reason for this to happen is how some of them feel responsible for their faves career like if they don't mass stream they won't succeed when most of the time (if not all the time) it's the company's fault for not doing their job properly and not promoting them decently because if they did their job people would naturally gravitate towards listening to said song or album naturally without the need of mass streaming and i mean one of the main things that count for music show wins are streams and it's so much pressure to like put the pressure on fans to do so but this results into people not really enjoying the song for what it is and not having fun during comebacks! like i am saying as someone who used to do this (bc i was on stan twt) and looking back i came to realize that i wasn't really enjoying it as much as i should in my case it was skz which i love all of their music but i remember being so stressed bc i had to stream the mv and the thing is I DIDN'T HAVE TO but there was this pressure from other people on there to do it and if you didn't you weren't a real stan. i mean the thing you say about people not wanting to stan multiple groups is very real because people on twt will side eye you if you are listening to other groups because it means you aren't dedicated to x group since you are giving streams to y group and it's BONKERS i mean... being a stan during kingdom was literally that that's why after that i left stan twt but it was an awful experience especially if stanned more than one group but the craziest thing is that years back nobody would bat an eye if you stanned more groups on twt but ever since streams and views started to be more important everyone just started to be like "you have to stan one group because you have to stream and vote for that group ONLY" and it's crazy to me i couldn't deal with any of that i think it got WAY too normalized this past few years people over there judge you because you like different groups when it's not that serious and you are just trying to enjoy music and they can't fathom that at all it's very odd

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ACCIDENTALLY GOT A SHOW PUT ON YOUTUBE.?!?!?
Okay so about two-ish years ago when I was like super into bbc ghosts I heard about a show that low-key inspired it, Rent-a-ghost, which is a semi-obscure 1970s british family/children's(?) sitcom. Didn't really end up finding that show, but ended up stumbling across The Ghosts of Motley Hall, another semi-obscure british family/children's(?) sitcom, which had maybe about half of the eps on youtube, in no particular order, all posted by channels that haven't uploaded in years. Anyways I decided to compile the existing eps in a playlist with the description listing the still missing episodes, and then suddenly like a week later those channels began uploading the eps again. So idk. I feel like I was the accidental catalyst for making the show available.

Gonna put this out there:
Yes, I am an adult. Yes, I have two young children. I actually just had a baby two months ago.
But your hobbies don’t go away once you become a mother or a certain age. I am a lot busier, yes, but whenever I get the time, I enjoy coming on here, interacting with y’all, and thirsting over characters with you. That’s something I’ve done for years now, and I still enjoy it, so I don’t intend to stop anytime soon.
My family is well taken care of, that’s all you need to know. Their needs come first. I get shit done. And when I have time, I obsess over video games/anime.
If you have a problem with that, unfollow me/block me right now. I won’t tolerate any shaming.

Why the fuck am I literally always down to listen to the soundtrack from the Lindsay Lohan Freaky Friday movie. I’ll be like “Should I listen to music? No…I can’t think of anything that sounds good right now…” but then if I remember the Freaky Friday soundtrack and I’m like HELL YES
