as we enter the start of a semester and the dreaded Hour of Making Friends us upon us... if ur ever at a loss for what to say in one of those weird social situations where you only vaguely-know people, one of my favorite questions to ask is "what is your favorite food crime." a food crime is like the food combination that you love that other people find revolting. press them to take it further than pineapple on pizza, that's rote. food crimes is a good topic that has many benefits as it turns out all people are degenerates and also it will give you some cool ideas to try out later in the privacy of your own degenerate kitchen

the other good thing to ask is "okay but has anyone here ever been someplace haunted" bc it turns out if you ask most people directly they don't believe in ghosts, but many people are like "oh yeah i lived in a haunted house. ghosts aren't real tho"

(to know more about the story and the calendar on pre-order check out previous posts!)

August’s big thing is actually something they did many times already, but in the comfort of their own environment. This time, Allura booked their performance, one of her favorites, for a party - proud friend as she was, never shutting up about how many competitions they won her.

The standing ovation they get, seems accurate for the work they both put into getting there.

"Dooku had not loved her. She had thought he had. Not as a woman, of course, or even a daughter, but as an apprentice. Someone who showed promise, who he enjoyed training and shaping."

-Asajj Ventress, Dark Disciple by Christie Golden

Frankly, he probably did love Asajj as a twisted Padawan figure - and that was the problem. People Dooku love tend to have a pretty short shelf life; Sidious already went through so much trouble to eliminate the first batch of them (with some serious help from Dooku himself) he's not going to go down that path again with his already problematic ex-Jedi apprentice getting nice and stabilized by a mutually beneficial relationship. It's an interesting piece of characterization, almost worse than if he had moved entirely beyond the concept and capability. This tragedy that Dooku does still seem to love, or close to it, but that love doesn't fucking save anybody, least of all himself.

I love giving advice, apparently, so if you are a newly pierced person or are planning on being pierced, here are some of the things I found helpful, as somebody who isn't a professional piercer but has had six plus piercings on my face and body, and multiple ear piercings (which I don't count, since I DIY'd them):

Normal bath towels are your enemy, proceed with caution after bathing. NEVER wipe moisture away from a fresh piercing, always pat it dry

You will hit a new piercing and it will hurt. This is inevitable, just know that you likely haven't destroyed it. Feel free to cry, though, it hurts like hell.

If your piercer gives you instructions, heed them. If you're on restrictions, please take it as seriously as possible

When you're going in for a piercing, please eat or drink something - at least what constitutes as a snack for your body. It really helps

If you're getting an oral piercing, make sure you size down after the healing period - I hadn't sized down for my last oral piercing when I first had the chance, and it was... so annoying to have too-large of jewelry

Not all jewelry is made equally. Do your research on materials, threading, and sizing. I've found that titanium jewelry is really nice for me, and I like it, but that isn't the only option. Make sure you think about your body and its needs and preferences

Close your eyes while being pierced (I found this really helps me)

Don't over-clean a new piercing, twice per day is usually a good place to start

The completed healing period is a very average suggestion - you may heal slower or faster. Try to adhere to that suggestion, though, especially if you do not feel you're healed enough

Personally, I have found that I am completely healed when my piercing feels like just another part of my body, even when it is touched. When my piercings start to feel as though they are foreign when they never do before, I know I likely need to clean them

While I have DIY'd piercings, I personally do not recommend it, especially if you are either not using sterilized equipment, or are piercing a very dangerous place (like the tongue). If you are absolutely positive about committing to the DIY mindset, please try to do due diligence in research at least

Tip your piercer. Body mods are a luxury service, and it takes years to even become a piercer, much less to be proficient at it. Tip your piercer, ESPECIALLY if their prices feel too good to be true - they likely are. Unless you are directed otherwise by your piercer, just assume that you will be tipping them for their services and budget accordingly

Make sure you understand how your piercer wants you to take care of your piercing, and ask questions. There is no question too "dumb"

If you are getting a body part pierced you are insecure about, realize your piercer has most likely seen HUNDREDS of different body parts of various sizes, shapes, and oddities. Your body is not uniquely bad, nor would a good piercer make you feel unwelcome or uncomfortable with your body. If they do, however, DO NOT go through with the piercing. You should feel safe being pierced by somebody, and, indeed, that is the bare minimum.

If you use saline wash to clean piercings, you can DIY it. You will go through NeilMed like no other, and with it being $5USD a bottle, that price can rack up quickly. Make sure you use distilled water and non-iodized salt, though

If your piercing is infected, please don't be too ashamed to seek help. It's in your best interest to make sure you don't get ill or your site gets nasty ("nasty" as in painful)

These are just some of the things I've learned being a pierced person! My piercings are something I absolutely needed, and I do not for a minute regret having them. I want that same happiness to befall you, and that happens when you are able to understand a bit more what goes into piercings. You are, essentially, getting a new body part installed by a pro, and so I don't want you to not be ready for that.

Again, I am not a professional piercer, but am rather a body piercing enthusiast with many different types of piercings. I don't have every piercing, though, so please look at this critically for the piercing(s) that you want or have. At least, treat this like a soft suggestion or ways to help you brainstorm what you will find helpful.

More tips are obviously welcomed, especially if you yourself have more insight or expertise. Good luck to every pierced person or future pierced person reading this💛

tutu i hate you tutu but LOOK AT HOW FAR DOWN THE NECK TATTOOS GO IN THE FRONT

Okay so i finally checked a suspicion I’ve had for a while and ive realised i was right. I think a few people have talked about Whizzer dropping the falsetto in Marvin Hits Trina and how it originally helped to sort of compare them/show solidarity (I’ve seen a few different interpretations on this although most of them I think are pretty flimsy). But i think what people miss is that Trina is actually now singing down with Whizzer.

Originally Whizzer sang that bottom line in falsetto, Trina had the top line, both singing at the octave written. In the revival however, they’ve swapped, Trina is singing that bottom line at the octave written but Whizzer has the top line down an octave. Andrew Rannells is talented but an E5 is very high. (I actually think this change might have been made so Stephanie didn’t have to sing it - she mentioned not liking the notes for ‘and still the bastard divorced me’ and took it down for the proshot and that’s E5-F5. Trina was also dropped from the high harmony in this had better come to a stop which is also on an E5. Personally if this is the case then I think this change was the right choice, SJB was a great Trina and no symbolism or meaning is worth putting an actor at risk of vocal damage if they feel they’re pushing their limits)

If this helps to visualise it my computers broken, but i drew the change out (apologies for my scribbly hand-writing). You can see they’re kind of closer in pitch in the revival than the obc for a lot of it.

Look, I don’t think my stretch marks are beautiful. I don’t think they are tiger stripes or natural tattoos. I don’t think my acne is beautiful. I don’t think the bags under my eyes are beautiful. I just think they’re human. And I don’t think I have to be beautiful all of the time in order to be accepted and loved and successful. I don’t think every small detail of my outer appearance needs to be translated into prettiness.
