Hi I'm looking for a sugar mommy

[jennilah]

because i see no vfx community here on tumblr to speak of, i just have all that shit on my main along w me screaming about whatever my current special interest is and whatever else i feel like yelling about. like my farts or whatever, cant stop me. this is MY disorganized house

& no one cares. yall are cool.

but on twitter i keep all my interests separated by accounts because im just a little more paranoid there. the vfx scene there is HUGE and the amount of times i run into my coworkers and other extremely important people like animation supervisors and vfx supervisors is shockingly often, & they dont need to see me yelling about fictional boys as much as i do

and omf LMAOO guys im deceased it turns out im not that slick-

once in a while ill interact with my favorite Godzilla news/review youtuber talking about whatever Godzilla thing

last night with the arrival of the first Monarch episodes, he DM'd me to congratulate me, having just found out i worked on the episode

(i didnt TELL him anything specific other than say I worked on the 2014 bridge flashback scene, because thats fine to say now that its all out in the open. no further details. cant say anything even if i wanted to)

& this morning i woke up to a new DM from him saying he just ran across my personal account and figured id "enjoy this video" that his partner made some time ago

what would i enjoy?

a fancam-type edit of sexy Mark Hoffman and his big titties

GOODBYE LMAOOOOOOOO-

[toomuchracket]

Ok ok but taking the girls out to see whatever the big kids movie is atm and then you and matty getting into heated debates over it once theyre put to bed (I am struggling with how domestic he’s been looking lately)

i know the timing doesn't match up AT ALL but oh my god imagine taking the girls to see the lego movie lmaoooooooo. you're kinda ambivalent towards it, but the girls have been begging you and matty to constantly put the trailer on for them to watch and he is SO GRUMPY about how he "can't get that flippin' song out of my head" - he is absolutely not excited to go to the cinema to see it, but all three of his girls look at him with little pouts and puppy-dog eyes and matty is powerless to refuse them. the next friday night, matty and the babas pick you up from work, and you go for dinner before going to the cinema to see it. and the girls are HYPER - you and matty decide to treat them a little bit (just this once, because if you did that all the time you'd literally go bankrupt lol), so the little one (4) ends up running around with a bag of popcorn bigger than her head while her big sister (6) carefully chooses sweets that everyone likes from the pick'n'mix. and they're so cute while the film is on, little curly heads tilted to look at the big screen in rapturous awe, snacks going largely unnoticed because they're so engrossed (so you and matty pass the bags between you behind their heads lol). you get quite into the film as well, and so does your husband, who audibly laughs at some parts and watches - much like his daughters - with genuine interest.

the debates start as soon as you leave the cinema and walk to the car - all four of you at first, your eldest BAFFLED as to why anyone would want to stick their lego together and your youngest replying "cos some people are just weird" (which makes everyone laugh), and then just you and matty after you've put your sleepy girls to bed. he pauses while he's making you both tea to be like "i can't get over how fucking good that film was. weird meta cosmic horror shit about the importance of creativity and imagination? for kids? amazing". and you're like "and here you were, thinking it was going to be a capitalist cash grab so they could sell more toys to kids" and matty's like "i mean to be fair i do still think that", and you get into a whole debate about how lego really don't need incentives for people to buy their products and the question of depictions = endorsement in film (obv not this film, it is literally a lego ad) and like at what age do you start explaining capitalism and socialism and shit like that to the kids lol. it lasts until midnight, when the two of you can barely keep your eyes open and you head to bed - even then, though, when you're lying under the covers in matty's arms, you say "i can't believe we just spent four hours debating a fucking kids movie and ended up talking about joseph stalin" and matty just laughs and kisses you before you both go to sleep <3

I’ve been reading some of your anti jayroy thoughts and honestly you’ve put into words how uncomfortable that dynamic has made me feel since I first heard of it. I knew before getting into DC proper that Roy had a long history before rhato happened, but even tho I haven’t gotten around to deep diving into all his appearances since his creation (I’m still on Kyle and I just started Dinah bc I’m stupid rip), through reading on Kyle, I got to see who he (Roy) was as a leader of the Titans and I just felt so sad after reading one of the issues where Kyle teamed up with them. He was so different, even knowing little ab him that was clear from how he acted there and what I’ve seen of his characterization in rhato. It felt like such a disservice that guy is kinda gone now.

Maybe I’m being unfair to rhato, I haven’t read it since I heard from fans of the character that it wasn’t good for Roy. And while I do love Jason as a character, and rhato is said to be important for his development, I just don’t want a newer ‘interpretation’ to make me biased against Roy’s longer history…so I’ve avoided the first outlaws, but I’m still on the fence for rebirth…(but I still feel weird about essentially starting at part 2 but not part 1 in a way, you know?)

Anyway sorry for blabbering in here, I’m just happy to have felt kinda seen by your opinions in a way that used to make me feel a lil weird bc I couldn’t quite explain why I felt uncomfortable with the ship.

(If you have any recommendations for Roy I’d appreciate it, I had no idea he and Rose had a good friendship!! As you can prob tell I’m still very green haha)

Hi!!!I'm so glad i could help and don't apologize,reading this made me smile!As for Rhato,as a Jason stan the og did jack shit for him LMAOOOOOOOO His characterization was so bad and they retconned his backstory like they did Roy's😭😭😭Rebirth is a million times better so go for it!!As for Roy,please do yourself a favor and read Teen Titans(70s run,not 2003),New Teen Titans,The Titans 1999(which is when him and Rose become friends),Green Arrow 2001,Outsiders 2003 and his Arsenal run!!

[acescorazon]

Hiii! Just like the last person, i also started with the live action and then found your fanfics and ah! Im the one that commented on almost all your work djdj and told you i read it on my lunch break and the train! Thank god i speak spanish so people wouldn't read what was on my phone sbdbbd and yeah, thank god i was also wearing a mask on the train so no one would see me giggling like and idiot. But i wanted to tell you that omgg i love your stories how the hell your brain is so sexy but also funny i love how the smut its very silly also because we get to read buggy's thoughts. I didn't even like buggy on the live action till i saw the fanarts and i was suddenly like "you know what? He actually has pretty eyes..." and then here i am with a massive crush on a clown. I also started to ship buggy with mihawk because i have a thing for rare pairs and i was like you know what they would be hot but i was only imagining them like the live action BUT THEN YOUR FANFICS and now im on episode 7 of the anime cause i just want to understand better, like i love your crocodile but i dont even know how he is so yep, im on the anime nfnfnf and im here to tell you that you are amazing, seriously, i read your stories at night, at morning, when i finish my work bfnfj like i became obsessed with the ot3

Hi i remember you lolllll i replied to your comments this morning :) honestly it blows my mind that you'd read them in public, i could never have that bravery LMAOOOO. BUT STOPPPPP I'M LITERALLY AN IDIOT LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO. i think i said this at the end of my most recent fic but like i'm really out here just writing the most unrealistic ass smut sometimes. sometimes its just plain STUPIIIDDD lmao. but i do fancy me a good laugh but i never verge off into Crack territory lol. The actor does have really nice eyes, doesn't he???? i'm a clown f*cker tho so i was always going to simp for h- ANYWAYSSSSSS. @here i am with a massive crush on a clown. LMAOOOOO? First time???? LOOK L I S T E N. Honestly. i'm a Cross Guild girlie at heart so for me this is a buy one get two free deal but i swear to god Mihawk/Buggy IDKKKKKK. IDKKKK BABESSSSS. idk those two have the potential to have the messiest relationship yet and plus they're hot like you said LMAOOOOOO. LISTENNNNN LISTENNNN I'M THE BUGGY SIMPPPPP (jk there's probably someone who loves him more) AND WHEN I TELL YOU THERE'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT THAT MANNNNN. JUST HES. *CHEF KISS* he's delicious, tasty, and PATHETIC. HES SO FUNNY AND DUMB AND I LOVE HIM SOOO MUCH. His debut episodes/ Episode 46 which is like 'Little Buggy's big adventure' is honestly the funniest shit to me and like they're my comfort episodes. Also like i said in the prev ask Alabasta is just my comfort arc for so many reasons lolololol Mainly bc my fave character appears and so does Croco and i love baroque works with a passion. (nobody asked.) it may not be everyone's slice of pie, but it's mine :))))

ANYWAYS LMAOOOOOOOO. Trust me bestie the way i write Crocodile isn't a headcanon LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. You'll see when you get there aljsldjasldjasldkajsdasd. If anything i typically go light on my depiction of him bc he's hngngnngngngngngn. Yeah, he's Crocodile alright LMAO. Not much of a spoiler but i'm here to tell you that Oda is starving us in terms of Cross Guild content, but have no fear jlkjsljdlkasjdaks i'll take one for the team. ANYWAYSSSSSSSS.Thank you again for the really nice message dear, i really appreciate it and i hope you end up actually liking the show a lot and don't have to watch 9845840850948509485098450840548094850948 episodes to think it's got any sort of appeal LMAO. THANK YOU AGAIN X30000 But know this: the moment Cross Guild debuted i knew...I KNEW i had to write for them. I knew i had to write Buggy in every scenario possible, and i'm working on it.

Imagine Isekai'd!reader getting turned back into a 5-7 year old because of Albedo and instead of being a shy, sweet child they’re a sassy, spoiled little devil that has no filter? Like they would literally look at Childe and comment about how he looks like a leprechaun but than look at Dainsleif and say that he looks like a handsome prince from her romance fantasy books💕

LMAOOOOOOOO A LEPRECHAUN!? 😭😭😭 Oh my gosh, if toddler Isekai'd!Reader was to call Childe that, not only will that hurt Childe's feelings, but that will make him want to fight toddler Isekai'd!Reader 😭 Like, why compliment a hot ass blond man named Dainsleif, but call Childe aka Tartaglia 11th Fatui Harbinger a leprechaun!? That will hurt his pride and once Isekai'd!Reader comes back to normal, he'll probably fuck some sense into the reader. While making sure that Dainsleif and the others hear it (oooh tiny spoiler for Crave 2).

I just know that Scaramouche will be calling Childe a leprechaun out of spite and for shits and giggles. I know that toddler Isekai'd!Reader will have favoritism among the men. Since toddler Isekai'd!Reader is a spoiled little devil, I can see them call Zhongli grandpa or old man. Xiao will be the scary one because he is always glaring at everyone around him. I can see toddler Isekai'd!Reader calling Itto a goat because of his horns, offending Itto in the process. Toddler Isekai'd!Reader will definitely call Gorou a puppy because of his ears and maybe pull on it when they're curious if the ears are real or not.

Overall 5/10 rating when Isekai'd!Reader is a toddler (rating came from Childe and Itto) because toddler Isekai'd!Reader is a handful and they have hurt other people's feelings for joy. While maybe stroking some egos within the process of offending Childe. You get a 10/10 rating from Scaramouche because now he has a good nickname to call Childe, thanks to you!

awwww they gave the house to the family 🥺🥺🥺🥺

“Give me a reason to stay” THE AUDIBLE GASP FROM MY MOUTH

General Thoughts

Honestly love this episode. Got worried a little bit in the beginning bc Ford was acting concernly unwell. Also, it’s funny how much I need to remind myself that the gang’s jobs always end well because I am so used to the opposite kind of heist story. The Nate/Sophie content was 🤌🤌🤌🤌 *chef’s kiss* Eliot was fucking adorable (he confuses me beyond no end, his backstory is so wild, tell me your PAST I WANNA KNOW SO BAD—) Hardison is beautiful and clever as always and Parker, my queen, was her unapologetic self 🥰

so yeah, great episode, on to the next 👀

[ramblingdisaster73]

hi! i saw a few of ur posts and asks lately and i hope u don't mind me popping in to kind of rant a little. i haardd agree w what you've said re: ep03 and 4x04

403 really did hurt. and i get it. i get that it comes hand in hand with the angst, and i think. i hope (?) that they'll be ok in the end bc at this point, it's getting a little bit frustrating to me. i hated the line of carlos being like 'can't let go of a bad relationship' :/ ik its probably a really poor take coming from the writers but like. with the setup, framing, and tk looking at him after he said that line. what did they want us to think. i think there's a fine line between being petty and hurtful and being a jerk. and imo if i want to put more weight into that line (i probably won't, bc i believe its meant to be more like a throwaway line that we'll collectively ignore and won't resurface again), he's leaning towards the latter. i can't imagine the patience tk has rn

i did not like that, time and time again so far, tk is just being his non-confrontational self. and i get it, with the whole 'you lash out at you loved ones in the moment of extreme anxiety and loss of control, whilst knowing that he will be there for u through it all. through all ur messiness and ur shit, it's like a lifeline that he can hold on to.' hell, i did that too. and i love this sentiment, and i think ep1 - ep3 is them trying to show us this. except before we get their reconciliation in 4x04 (hopefully), these are what we have to work with.

i also read somewhere (i'm so sorry i'd forgotten who said it) that we might get more of carlos + iris reunion rather than a carlos/tk one bc it will carry more weight for carlos' character arc, and at this stage, i hate that i can see that happening, and i don't like it. i'm just asking for any sort of carlos/tk reunion to be cathartic af, after all of what we've they've been through so far. i don't think i'm asking for much atp 🥲🥲

(prev.) if this really happens, i hope it's in the context of like, iris reassuring carlos that she's not his legal responsibility anymore, that she's more than capable of taking care of herself, and that he needs to let go of the unfounded guilt that he's carrying towards this whole mess (ik this is controversial, but i would argue that iris carries equal responsibility as well and i blame carlos as much as i do iris, she could've reached out too, but i won't be getting into that), so that he can truly move on with tk. a clean slate, if u will. i won't be able to accept anything else.

i just. my god. i love tk. i want to give him a little hug. it's genuinely really painful to watch him in these 3 eps. i have no hope that it will ever be addressed. can u tell i just really need more tk/carlos scenes atp bc i do i miss them being a team and i don't like it when there's tension that we can never get closure too. i don't want to expect anything for 404 except that it'll probably be disappointing, just so i won't be let down again.

also as like a little sidenote, i saw the 100 in your bio and omg i was there (!!!!!) doesn't this (e.g. tim's post, ro and rafa's interviews) all feel like jrat + the 100 cast mess all over again. bc i see it. i'm not sure if you're aware of it back then, but it was like a whole mess between the cast and jrat and they had to keep defending his writing and lmaoooooooo history repeating itself over at ls here i see i see

i'm so sorry its so long. it got away from me. thank u for reading through all that tho if u did 😭 have a nice day/night!

This storyline has definitely ruffled feathers, a lot of them for a lot of people. The way they are only revealing bits at a time through this 4 episode arc is slowly driving us all insane – especially those of us that were not blessed with any sort of patience (that’s me, I have none) and want to know everything right now.

Just like 3x13 had some painful to watch scenes, so did 4x03 – but watching Ronen & Rafa this season has been a real gift – we care so much about these characters in large part because we know how much Ronen & Rafa love their characters, how much they respect the relationship that they are portraying, combined with their natural chemistry, makes Carlos & TK such a compelling people – as both individuals & as a couple.

-The first couple of seasons, we got glimpses of Carlos’ flaws, but they weren’t as obvious or as loud as TK’s, so many people just over looked them, some to the point where they don’t believe that he can do any wrong or that pretty people should always be forgiven because they are pretty.

*For this particular storyline – They had to pretty much exaggerate his negative traits: Control freak, self-blame, avoidance to the point of lies by omission, and his compartmentalization in order to have him learn more about himself (I think) If they had just kept him as he was in 3x13 with the petty chicken dinner, then we wouldn’t really be able to see him learn anything – it would just have been a continuation of his avoidance, without long term consequences.

– his traits/flaws had to be so in our faces, so that when he loses all of that – all control, all ability to compartmentalize, can’t lie to even himself anymore – we are feeling it with him, feeling him learn that this isn’t a healthy way for him to live.

*I have no clue what their intention for the bad relationship line was – but I do think it missed whatever the goal was since none of us can decide on the meaning. I am currently going with it is part of how they are exaggerating his traits (his pettiness in this case) to show how much out of the ordinary this whole situation is for him. I do think he is filled with so much guilt over Iris, that it almost froze him where she was concerned, especially since TK came into his life – and he realized that he could have something real. -thinking about it this way does make it more tolerable, at least it does for me.

*There is a fine line between petty and jerk, Carlos has been walking it like a tight rope since the minute that venue called, probably since the morning after he realized that he hadn’t dreamed up TK proposing. I think that the show is finally letting us see his other sides, we are seeing him start to unravel a little – he doesn’t know how to deal with it – THERAPY WOULD BE MY SUGGESTION, SIR! – so much damn therapy.

I am loving TK (& Ronen) this season – that man can say a lot with his eyes – especially when the script doesn’t give him words. I do think that part of his lack of an emotional response, isn’t that he doesn’t have feelings about what is going on (Carlos being married), but he sees how fucked up Carlos is over the whole thing – he knows that if he freaks out too, then everything will get worse – this time, even though shit is hard, the last thing he wants to do is run away or blow things up – and honestly, I love it. And I have written quite a few fics so far that have really helped me deal with the emotions that this storyline brought up.

*I do not think that there will be a whole lot of bottled up TK in 4x04 – I think he will be a fiery tornado with one goal in mind – as Ronen has said, we are going to see a different side to TK this season. I think part of that might be the way he processes his emotions/thoughts (plus he has a whole fandom to be mad on his behalf) – I don’t think TK will ever just roll over and let anyone (Carlos included) walk all over him - he has just learned to pick his battles, support his fiancé over himself when needed.

*I can’t wait for feral TK

I did say something along the lines of Carlos more important reunion would be with Iris over TK – to be honest though, I doubt we see a real reunion between Iris & Carlos at this point – BUT, my reasons for thinking that were what you said – that she might be the one that gets through to him that people are stronger and more capable than he gives them credit for – Both her and TK – as well as Carlos.

*We will get some type of emotional reunion between TK & Carlos on screen – I think that Tim loves to pull things apart – but he does it because he loves putting them back together. Someone pointed out that each episode has shown us another aspect of the Tarlos relationship – The understanding from TK in 4x01, the unit that they are in 4x02, what friction and stress can cause in 4x03. I think 4x04 will be another aspect to see.

-I am leaning that the bulk of the ep will be them separated – Carlos being held captive, torture & TK will be realizing he is missing/searching for him. I am also thinking that the amount of time on screen that they will be together will be similar to Push 3x04 – An emotional reunion (like at the hospital when TK woke up), then a domestic like scene (like the initial Tarloft scene), ending with some type of group scene (like the reopening of the 126) – obviously, I could be wrong – but that is how I am leaning as of now.

TARLOS IS ENDGAME & ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE WEDDING – is my mantra and I repeat it as necessary in times of need.

I also love TK, he is also probably the one I can relate to the most, so that helps (or not, depending on how you look at it). That mean needs all the hugs, he takes everything on himself (kinda like his fiancé), and wants everyone to be happy. I can’t get over how blessed we are with the cast that plays these amazing characters – they don’t feel like one dimensional characters – they feel real – this is why we care so much.

I think the difference between Tim & J Roth is that Tim is supporting his work & his cast/characters while J Roth killed off characters if his cast member needed time off for a medical/mental health issue or has a disagreement. I got lucky with the 100, my ship made it to the end, even if they were the ship with one of the smallest fanbases (sorry, I am a total Mackson fan – they are what brought me to tumblr & Ao3 in the first place), so I didn’t hate J Roth for the shit writing in Season 7 (also, don’t hate season 7 – see my ship for why 7x14 was a total gift for me)

*I really can’t see Tim treating any of this cast like J Roth did Ricky & Bob

*Tim will fuck with us though – and since he gives us such beautiful scenes (even the hard ones), I will forgive him. While he loves to tear our hearts out, he is sure to let us know that he will let these characters put them back in place. He knows that we love them, but he does deserve to be protective of his work (even when we don’t agree with him).

I enjoy reading people’s thoughts, adding my own, and welcome people sending me asks/their thoughts!

DBH MODDING (4) - DOING SOME GROUNDWORK

Hello everyone and

Dear Diary

Here is my newest mod dairy entry! And here is my last one in case you missed it. As a warm welcome to this entry, here is a shot of tank!Connor that crashed my game:

I did this by going into the model swapper > Show All dropdown to [Not yet identified] > find the tank > copy it onto Connor model 2 > apply > save mod > copy the .IDX into the DBH folder. I talk more in-depth about the process in my first entry.

It's 19/01/2023 and I'm chilling out, but my brain hurt for like 2 days after trying to figure out hexadecimal bull-crappery. I looked more into the two types of Connor outfits I wanted to make, one being SWAT Connor and the other being bougie Connor. SWAT Connor is more looking into code and bougie is more creative and editing textures. I want to focus on the SWAT mod for a little bit.

For SWAT Connor, I needed to locate Captain Allen's model data.

Good ol' Captain Allen. N̸͐͂̅ő̵́̄͝w̸̑ g̵̉̐i̷͈͈̓̆̒͑v̶͋ë̶́̆ ̷͋m̶͚͋ë̸͑͠ ̵̹̲̼̠͊y̵̓o̴̧͉͙͎̲̱͊͜ǔ̶͖͖̳͈r̵̊̾ u̵̺̇n̴̦̆̕if̶̊ǒ̷̀r̵̈́̊m̴̋̈.̷̈̓͘

I also want the PC200 uniform as shown below, but that's not a priority compared to the glorious SWAT swap I desperately want to do.

I went into HxD and locate in the .DAT file Captain Allen's string. Here is a screenshot:

I mean, like, I got THIS far but I have no idea where to go from here. I found him at least. Then I thought that if I download his container from the texture tool, then I can maybe open up his specific data in HxD???? Anyway, so I opened up .data_container and .catalogue. Then I gave up and watched this which didn't help with what I wanted to achieve lol, but it gave me better insight into what I was messing with. I think I have to find which part of the data_containers/catalogues affect the uniform and somehow implement it into the Connor model? Like, which parts of the code do I copy and paste? Idk how coding works

You will not BELIEVE what I was told! To see all the QD files, I had to download a thing. Thanks so much @jamdbh! Here is the tutorial link and the link to the website. In response to my last mod diary entry: I'm SO glad I'm not going to work this shit out by myself sdkldsjdf.

Crying tears of joy over the loaded thumbnails:

Jamie explained a few things to me, including:

SWAT outfit Connor is not stable and not widely available.

Something something backpack and skeletons.

"Just when anyone gets a backpack that conforms to their skeleton or if there's some other model loaded on top of the first one like for Markus's stratford speech, he morphs into his android form" - Jamie

It's possible for certain scenes (Capitol Park and Spare Parts), but nothing else.

At this point I'm like wtf is a skeleton, so I glanced over this article.

However, I found videos of the SWAT uniform on Hank and Connor in Partners, so there must be something I can do to make it happen??? I don't know. Something something dragonbane0 (the dbh mod king himself)?

After hanging out for a while, someone approached me saying that they have their personal notes on how to achieve the SWAT Connor model. I promised not to share these notes around, so unfortunately I can't link/upload it. However, I will leave you with this:

Join modding communities and Discord servers!

Learn what you can from people with experience!

Read tutorials and learn any terminology you don't understand!

Be kind and try your best!

Don't expect to get everything right in the first go.

And don't panic if you screw up!

That last one is @ me because I can't edit QD files still, even after loading up stuff. I think I have to start that process again since I stupidly moved my detroit folder lmaoooooooo

Next time, hopefully, I will have SWAT Connor for you to stare at and maybe other texture-orientated notes. Hope this helps!

I just finished watching the VEPPer live on bilibili and MY GOSH I HAVE NEVER FELT SO MANY THINGS SO STRONGLY, I NEED TO RANT

I definitely wanna get the blu-ray more now lol, I wanna see them epically in hq

(Spoilers for the live under the cut. Watch this thing if you haven’t, PLEASE)

The introduction was so cool with the outline of their profiles and the shining letters appearing before them!

They stayed in character for I think more than an hour of the live, both in dancing and talking... It was so impressive to see them not make mistakes with it, and Koumoto-san had to improvise for a minute while Murakami-san got his hat secured again

I’m amazed they didn’t get the names wrong at all, but they did get stuff wrong a couple times, and it was the funniest seeing them sumble on their words, immediately shut up and stare at the other like “Ugh not this shit again”

When they did anime scenes and all they were so synchronized??? Oh my god they were more in sync than a vocaloid file, I listened to them many times because their ability to speak in sync was so amazing!!

The entire audience shining with the colors of VEPPer... one of the shots taken most further from the stage showed so many people that it took my breath

OMG THEY DID MY FAVORITE FANSERVICE THING, LIKE PUTTING THEIR HANDS AND FOREHEADS TOGETHER, I LOVE THAT SO MUCH

I had seen so little from these guys that, after just watching the LOVE! Live, I was expecting VEPPer’s to be, like, just fine. Like yeah, I’ll like it because I like Boueibu and its characters- WELL I WAS SO WRONG!!!! I was having fun from the start, but after seeing them perform Moon the Jealousy and Sun the Festival and hearing Murakami-san run out of breath, it hit me that I was comparing this to idol animes I like where there’s more idols that perform separatedly and have more time to rest. VEPPer somehow delivered an amazing performance from beginning to end, from their voices being very stable most of the time, to the many acrobatics and intense dancing- and only being able to rest when doing a costume change! Not to mention dancing on heels, which I can’t even walk on! I can’t believe how amazing this live was, it completely blew my expectations away!

Koumoto’s Moon the Jealousy didn’t stay in my mind a lot, but it caught my attention because he was so elegant!

Murakami did such a good job in Sun the Festival that I was seriously doubting he was out of breath. I initially thought he wasn’t because otherwise he was doing a great job. It was strange to see the cool Haru-sama being all genki though, haha

Murakami leaning his head on Koumoto’s shoulder, Koumoto then doing the same thing, and then both of them putting their hands together

THEY DID MY THING AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY FULLY LEANED IN AND MURAKAMI LOOKED A BIT SHORTER THAN KOUMOTO AAAAAA

The back dancers having their own performance and slowly getting the audience into it, to finish epically introducing VEPPer in their galaxy idol costumes!!

Those costumes were so sparkly that I had to remind myself to look more at their faces instead of them. When not moving, the golden sequins were reflected on their faces!

The entire call and response! The questions about their most hated foods were so unexpected and funny haha

Murakami yelling “SHUT UUUUUUUUP” at the audience lmaoooooooo

Also Murakami explaining the choruses for WE ARE GALAXY IDOL the audience laughing a bit and him going “The hell you laughing at?!”

The audience singing Dadacha’s part on WE ARE GALAXY IDOL, both times!

Star The VEPPer with the sparkly costumes was amazing to see~ They did a little lean back like partners dancing, and also THEY DID MY THING AGAIN WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The repeated songs sounded better on the second time! I think the seiyuus were nervous at first awww

For the encore, they finally broke character and introduced themselves! It was strange to see the difference between cool anime VEPPer and happy irl VEPPer, but I liked how genuine they were and how much fun they looked like they were having

The most emotional song was saved for the encore... I thought Murakami-san was just singing passionately before he suddenly broke down crying, and my heart grew bigger when I realized he was supposed to sing “Thank you, fate. We met for the first time, didn’t we?” Since it was their first solo live, the lines were so fitting... Koumoto-san came to comfort him later with a hug...

Murakami had to keep the sadistic tsundere character for so long that he burst into tears as soon as he stopped because of all the emotion

I didn’t understand it too well but I think they said Koumoto’s parents came to the live to watch and found them in the audience to wave at them... That was so amazing and wholesome

Koumoto blew a kiss at Murakami!

Koumoto first and Murakami later, both did that thing idols do of thanking the audience without using the microphone. I know it from Aikatsu lives and it warms my heart so much every time I see it

They walked on stage holding hands for the second encore!

At some point they were both sobbing on stage unable to talk and there were 12 minutes of video left... I was wondering what would happen in that time, but my heart was so warm it had gone from solid to liquid to gas already

The seiyuus crying reminded me of when the characters did in ep12...

Murakami saying “Let’s see each other again soon... at the Second Live!!” was quite a slap to the face

They were both so close and comforted each other saying they didn’t want the live to end... The two encores were so emotional and beautiful

Everyone calling the cameraman, and the reactions to the Dadacha plushie were the cutest thing ever!!! I feel like even the cameraman knew everyone would love it so much, he looked so happy as well to be doing that

Conclusion: DADACHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[heavyhitterheaux]

You followed their gaze to see Jack in one of your many bonnets to protect his curls and your apron that was covered in flowers and you couldn’t help but to stifle a laugh. He’s in his housewife era y’all 🤭

“Trust and believe if it has anything to do with you or the little one he was going to find a way to get it done.” AS HE MOTHAFUCKIN SHOULDDDDDD 😌

“No. Immediately no. Call Jessica.” I’m sorry this js make me fucking laugh so loud 😭

The four of you had now been sitting in traffic for a total of two hours and you were about to lose your shit. You didn’t think she would be coming any time soon since this was your first, but you had to keep in mind that you had to be prepared for anything to happen. TWO HOUR TRAFFIC?!? Oh hell fuck nawwww

“WHAT?! IN MY CAR?!” BITCH?! Do you want this baby or not?!? 🤨 YES IN YO FUCKIN CAR

“Is that….? Is that HER HEAD?!” DAMN THIS BABY IMPATIENT ASF FUCK! 😭 js like her daddy

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN IS THAT HER HEAD?! WE’RE NOT READY FOR HER YET!” Clay exclaimed while looking at all the traffic ahead of them. Clay more freaked out then YN 😂 like bby you ain’t got nun to worry abt!!

“I didn’t even do anything, you did all the work. She is gorgeous and looks just like you.” See respectfully no…if I JUST pushed the baby out & it got all this blood & shit on it AND YOU TELL ME IT LOOKS LIKE ME IMMA BEAT YO ASS!! Cause that’s mad disrespectful 😭 lemme at least clean the thing off first tf

“Except her forehead.” DEAD 💀

You were now resting while Caoimhe (pronounced Kweeva) was asleep on Jack’s chest who was sitting next to you. OMG HER NAME IS SO GORGEOUS 🥹

“We did. You don’t recognize that forehead?” Im Soo fuckin done 😂 Ik he feelin some way abt that forehead 😭

“She wants what she wants when she wants it. Just like her mother.” Uhhh unless you want another forehead joke, I suggest u keep quiet Megamind

“Caoimhe Margaret. I gave her Jack’s mom’s middle name so she’ll be less mad at him when we tell her. Her first name means beautiful in Irish” 🥹her name ughhh I’m in love. Not Jack tryna use his baby as a get outta jail free card 😭 yo mama still gon whoop that ass bby

You assume that she saw Jack and that was why.  OH NO SHE FINNA OPEN UP THAT BIG ASS MOUTH OF HERS HUH?!?

“Doesn’t matter because I have a crush on Y/N.” Stop it 🤭 *kicking & swinging feet*

But what you didn’t know was that when you and Jack were looking down at Caoimhe, she snapped a picture and decided to send it to TMZ. SEE THIS WHY HE DONT WANT U. YOU UGLY ASS LOWLIFE BITCH!! NO CLASS HAVIN ASS BITCH!!

TMZ: Looks like congratulations are in order for Jack Harlow and his mystery girlfriend! We have gotten word that he is now a father to a beautiful baby girl! More details to come as soon as we know more. I.Fucking.Hate.TMZ. LIKE DO YALL HAVE NO FUCKIN RESPECT!? Y’all some hoes HE JS HAD THE DAMN BABY, WHY THE FUCK YALL ALL UP IN THE DAMN BUSINESS!!

She was like I wanna come out and I WANNA DO IT NOW IDC IF YOU NOT READY

YESS omg him using her as a get out of jail free card is SENDING ME

Anything to soften the blow I guess lol

And she was dead wrong for taking that picture and sending it to them

Jack is about to get REAL DISRESPECTFUL because she did it to them first

He not playing about his boo and his baby girl

MAGGIE AND BRIAN ABOUT TO WHOOP HIS ASS!

[stitchthesewords]

>:3 guess who-

AAAAAA!AAAA I love it so far??? I love how descriptive everything is and it's so easy to imagine and hhhh <3

But also just me imagining them standing on the stairs for like a solid 10 seconds staring at Grian before Mumbo realizes what they're looking at and just *YOINK* almost pulls Scar to the frikkin ground in his haste to get Scar away from the strange bird man-

Mumbo's disappointed acceptance that Scar’s just gonna do what he wants anyway cjfgkfgkf <3 I am already loving this dynamic you've set up

AND OOOOO Scar just casual and non-threatening and then BAM "you can run but you can't hide so it'll just be easier if you stick around" fjtjtfj Grian let his guard down for .75 seconds and they pounced like dayum <3 love them so much

Mmmmm wonder what Grian's running from... 👀

Hgdhigh if you can't tell I'm super hyped about this <3 it's so good already I love it I'm so excited to see where it's going!! <3

Oh also 👀 Scar leaning his weight on his staff + balance issues.... 👀 am I seeing a little disability rep/ref or am I reading a bit too far into this fjjdyldn either way <3

ASDFGHJKJHFDFGHNBVLMC,MD FGF HI HELLO THERE BELOVED WRITING INSPIRATION Wow the J O Y seeing this in my inbox sparked i am???? yeah im sending you rambling little messages forever <3 this feels great

YEEEEEEEEEEEEES Mumbo Protecc. You know I love me some feral Mumbo it's going in. I have put it into the pot. I also just love that did it, went "oh shit that knocked scar over" and then his lil brain was like "maybe if scar is knocked over he wont move" LMAOOOOOOOO

ALSO YEEES I love the whole 'One of them is the leader who is far to independent/One of them is the protector who is So Tired' dynamic so thats what I decided to go with for them because I CANT fit it into my novel so I've gotta put it SOMEWHERE

AND THEY WORK LIKE A WELL OILED MACHINE TOO AH - I'm imagining they're both centuries old and they've been at some level of partnership for a very. very long time. An incredibly long time to be dancing around and not kissing, frankly Scar didn't even have to say anything and Mumbo kept Grian from being able to back up. Mwah.

👀👀👀👀👀 I wonder I wonder I am definitely not figuring it out while outlining the rest of this heavens no

<3 <3 <3 <3 Thank you I am also very hyped - I havent actually like written prose in a long time because I've been reoutlining my novel for the past 3 months and while the outline is at like, 6k words, its not prose proper. This was like waking up and stretching after a nap it was EXCELLENT I am very excited to get more work done on it

👀👀👀👀 You noticed!! Like I told you, keeping Scar disabled in some fashion is super important to me since I'm physically disabled - I think I'm probably going to quietly give him some of my more general 'Chronic Pain' symptoms - I use a cane on and off IRL so I'm just. Leaning ;) on that knowledge.

[dysiver]

LMAOOOOOOOO I love that when Dys stream anons are always busy doing something else but when he don't stream anons are ready to watch his stream 😭😭😭

look at these ugly little shits

HIDEOUS

[llocalgoblinn]

O__O

my enormous horrifying catastrophicly HUGE crush has followed me on instagram and i’m absolutely not okay about it lmaoooooooo OH MY GOD i wish i could be normal about people i think are cool!!!!!!!!!!! also i’m looking at my shit through a stranger’s eyes and realizing how fucking insane i am and having a little anxiety about like. maybe i shouldn’t share so much but authenticity is my thing so fuck that. plus he has terrible internet safety too so like glass house throwing stones etc

i’m just tired of literally having to remind myself every five minutes that my brain is just Like This and there is beauty is being weird and autistic and loving with the loyalty of a dog. like. someday this will make some lucky person extremely happy. hurgh. still extremely sensitive about getting ghosted since i really didn’t see it coming. (okay so i often don’t see it coming but like !!! i’m trying to remain vulnerable and romantic shut up!!!!)

but also could i please get this under control oh my god. i am so distracted by this fantasy of him on his knees wearing his studded collar necklace and all his rings and just .............................................................................. brain offline lol not to mention i am trying to smother my parenting desires towards his extremely chaotic and cute children. but you can extrapolate here. and i’m like. just. hanging on by my fingernails because this is complex and there is a lot of sensitivity here and he is PROBABLY MARRIED like why would you not marry this fucking man. unimaginable. and i’m so torn because it seems so ridiculously unattainable for SO Many Reasons but also, way crazier shit has happened to me besides falling in love or getting fallen in love with especially now that i know who i am etc etc. i mean he gave me a song rec and a lap dance and he has brown eyes. i am so weak.

ANYWAYS. feeling very insane about this and also laughing and thinking of that girl’s diary entry that is like something about danny didn’t talk to me at school. man landed on moon.

SAME SHIT DIFFERENT DECADE and tbh she was real for that. history flows on around us and we just worry about finding the right partner to make hurtling through space somewhat bearable.
