#back to school 2019

[hood-ex]

When Mutual #1 doesn't have their name in their bio, and you have no idea what their real name is. Then on some random Tuesday, Mutual #2 reblogs something from Mutual #1 and uses Mutual #1's real name in the tags, and you're like *le gasp* so that's the prophetic name... the name of names... the mutual's name...

Some old Warriors OCs for your enjoyment

They’re siblings. TL;DR lore: JayTail said “StarClan, u suck!” After a disaster involving some evil cats, and StarClan said “Oh yeah? KITTY PURGATORY!” So now IvyFlight is avenging him.

Also IvyFlight is based off IvyPool, so now we have Tired ASF mom and idiot (lovingly) kid in my WIP Commission sheet

So I went and watched two Ne Zha movies. So here’s my quick fire ramblings.

Ne Zha 2019? Amazing! Just absolutely amazing! Balanced comedy and seriousness very well, very compelling characters, really good fight scenes, themes were handled well, made me cry, the dad is hot. The only complaint (and that is but a nitpick) was that I would have loved to see true form/grown up Ne Zha more because that design is stunning.

Reborn? Love the art direction. The setting is awesome. Voice acting is solid af. Mad respect for the more gritty tone/grasps that animation isn’t just for little children and is a medium for expression. But man… I found the fight scenes and antagonist cast underwhelming. Really the motorcycle chase sequences were the best parts action wise. And the evil dad wasn’t even that hot either. And Ao Bing… what have they done to you… I squirmed a lot tho, and teared up at the right times, but still. Could have used more toxic yaoi… huh?

Also my cats went to snuggle up around me when watching Reborn… If you know you know…🥲

ramble ahead about time, tatinof, 2015 and changing one's life

tatinof is very special and im so happy they did this video to acknowledge that its not cringe at all and that theyre proud of their past selves !! there's sth genuinely healing about that !! ive had a hard time in 2015 and even tho i was 12/13 and just discovered that online fan communities of things i was into were a thing and was nowhere close to the phandom (i joined after BIG), this is the fandom internet that i joined back then. thats why its so poetic that they sing 'the internet is here', because to me this is the time it started to be there for me. it wasnt always kind to me and instagram was not a great platform to start on if your bullies and other ppl from school were also on it, but it was also when for the first time ever i realised that there were not only people who liked what i liked but that those ppl also have created their own culture and community online !! i was not totally alone !! there is a life outside of school !! i would never chose to go back to that time ever like it was horrible (that applies to any time in the past tho, i hate the idea of 'going back in time' with a passion) but im glad that the internet was there for me because no one else really was if im being real with you.

more below the cut because im an insufferable yapper (dan is a terrible influence haha tit joke)

this all is maybe why i find it hard to go back to watch dnps older content and also the stuff from the tatinof era. dan's sarcastic self-hating persona and phils innocent nerd persona are both hitting a bit too close to home and i want to both cry for them and for myself. we knew nothing back then. we were lost and yet did sth we were proud of. yet here we are almost 10 years later and how the fuck did we end up here but oh my god im so proud of us. all it took for me was to watch dan's coming out video. all it took for them was to be embraced and loved by their audience (us). dan also needed a break which is something that at the time it happend was really hard for me but then i found my wonderful lovely phannie discord friends here. we really all got here together and if i ever see any single person say that dnp hate us or dan hates it or that dnp are cringe or that we are cringe etc etc i will block you so hard because what are you even doing bringing up drama when in reality dan and phil and the phandom have developed the most remarkable symbiotic relationship between artist adn fans ever. they are our dads and i honestly just want to say how fucking proud i am of them for how far theyve come and what theyve done since 2015. dan really did the whole mental health and gay thing but then he did the mental health again!! and i think ywgttn and wad need to be given more credit here because idk if you remember pre-wad dan but he wasnt anything like post wad dan. every since wad he seems so happy and genuinely authetic and in peace. (im ignoring dystopia daily here because that was filmed before wad and his dd persona also reminds me too much of 2015 depressed dan than whatever high concept he was going for lol, im just not a dd fan). like wad changed his relationship with us and its warming my entire heart when i see dan smile so much now. he deserves to be happy and proud. and if dan deserved it after going through so much and coming out on top (literally), then i deserve it too. and phil? i love how he's just so confident now. fuck. (literally). he is not the innocent nerd anymore like he actually is fully really himself now and feels comfortable in his body (crop top, phlonde, etc) and openly expressing his sexuality ! even compare this phil to phil from the beginning of the hiatus!! he got so much more confident and relaxed since then!! like fully, really, if he can do it, if he can strip himself of the persona that ppl have attributed to him because of his anxiety, then i can do that too. im so proud of phil. he is an inspiration and the more he's being himself publically with no shame, the more an autistic phannie will feel hopeful for their future. im so proud of both of them.

like its crazy you go through your life thinking you're going nowhere and never making any progress and will never reach your goals but then you stop and look back what you were like 6 months ago and realise how many lives you have lived since then. it always goes back to BIG when dan said this:

[...] I thought I was trapped in a situation forever when in reality, the entire world I lived in and my life changed completely. I thought it was hopeless when in reality there was so much to hope for and that's it. Time changes everything. With the lives that we have, we can try anything we've dreamed of. I want anyone that's ever felt like this to realize you are never trapped. There is always hope. You just need to believe in yourself and get to the other side.

this everyone, changed my life. and i will never be able to thank dan enough for it, no matter how much i pay for tour tickets, how often i watch their videos or share my love for them on here. i just want to mention this because its never just 'light entertainment', it means the world to many of us and we have build a wonderful and loving community despite the hardships of the past and pointless discourses of the present. like, we can change shit for ourselves because we see these gay idiots do it who have done soooo fucking much in the last 15 years like they were on radio 1 and on a hollywood billboard and hosted various big big events. and yet, they decided they want to use their time to do things for themselves and their community. they have said many times that they havent made a profit from (parts of) their tours but they do it regardless. they do really love us and i dont think ive ever really felt loved by people who i was in a fandom for like that. its really not as parasocial as it might seem anymore. we got here together and we should be proud of that. i love dnp and i love you phannies so much !! 💕💕💕💕💕

Day 7 : switchin it up a little…

pink (blue) hair?? i bet you have pronouns too…

OOC: left is 2019 black cast mercutio wearing the costume of 2021 mercutio, pictured on the right!. all things considered, i definitely prefer the costume design of the 2019 production to the 2021 production. however, i am constantly thinking about 2021 mercutio’s pink hair and cuts shoulders… like, he kinda ate that up. gotta pay it some homage o7

happy 6 year anniversary to ME!

when this song came out I was at a state FFA convention at Disneyland standing in line for Toy Story: Midway Mania. I was watching the music video premiere live stream with earbuds while the guy friend I was hanging out with that day (we were both third wheeling on our mutual friends for the whole week) leaned over my shoulder to watch without sound. When that snake exploded into a burst of butterflies I screamed a bit and felt bad for his ears. He was understandably confused by my very emotional reaction to what sounded a bit like a kidz bop song to him. I spent the rest of the night with wired earbuds in listening to the song on repeat, even on rides, until midnight. And then I couldn't sleep but I was in shared hotel room for the conference with a few other girls from our chapter group so I sat in the bathtub the whole night scrolling through switie instagram (I wasn't super active on tumblr back then). With no sleep, I spent the next day of the convention presentations continuing to listen to the song on repeat at any chance I could get away with it. By 3pm I was crashing out and the same guy friend and I snuck away from the convention for a bit to get fro-yo down the street. I spent about 40 minutes rambling swiftie lore at this teenage boy that I really wasn't that close with before that week. We went back to school the next week and continued to not be that close anyways. I opened LinkedIn last month to see that he's set to be a lawyer soon. ANYWAYS. Hope he's doing well and that I gave him a good story to tell to his current girlfriend that is clearly a swiftie.

maria i was SO confused by that joshua post for a second i was like "wait i've been mutuals with her for several years at this point and i don't. think this is how she thinks about joshua???" and then i got to the end 😭

I’M SORRY I’M SORRY i realize the first part of that post must’ve been a shock to read LOL. i forget sometimes that not everyone has timestamps enabled that post was from exactly 3 years and 1 day ago. i am wiser than that now. i only reblogged it bc someone else did and i was like worried it would gain traction off of them ig

Seeing the Dannypocalypse reminds me how old classic nicktoons are and how young me and my sister really are.

So if I get this correctly Danny Phantom premeired on Nickelodeon on April 3rd 2004.

Well, I have a sister, she was born on the ides of March 2004.

She is older than the cartoon by 2 weeks, and that’s wild seeing how popular a cartoon is to this day that when it made its debut when my sister was just opening her eyes for the first time.
