#this one went on a weird tangent

[lungfuls]

Maybe I'm projecting and being hopeful but I mentioned to M that I don't even get to shit by myself in peace lmao and I feel like something clicked for him. Bc I was like hey, at least you get private bathroom breaks at work (noncombative). And since then he's been a lot more acquiescent when I ask if I can nap and stuff

Its genuinely wild to me how many straight dudes are actually invested in caitlyn and vis relationship and not for purely sexual reasons like. Theyre so powerful they made male fujoshis

help me find the original creator of a gif??

hey ya'll so for like awhile now i've been wondering who originally made the classic pikachu caramelldansen clip (also known as pikadance??)

wayback machine isn't really giving me any luck nor is reverse image searching. at most i can find youtube and nicovideo (2008) uploads of it, but none that say "i'm the original creator" or who the original is

its not that big of a deal, but i've known this gif since i was like 13 at least (i'm 25 now yeesh) and have never known who made it and honestly just really want to know

the full vid (or perhaps two videos by the same artist mashed together??) has also been posted on youtube (2009) with "the pikachu song" which is just butterfly by smile.dk but with varying pikas and pikachus for lyrics

that itself (the pikachu butterfly remix) i'm having trouble finding the source of as well. seems like its source may be in ddr or step mania as that what seems to come up and i can find a chart for it from step mania on youtube (2010) by searching "step mania butterfly pikachu remix", but idk anything about step mania so idk if that's modded or not or if its coming up cus butterfly is a song in those games

anyways there are other clips in the pikachu song as well. ones from the anime and an ashchu/pikachu paffendorf meme (omg paffendorf) which i can not find the source of either (has to be from at least 2008 or so tho since it has shaymin and lucario in it), but i'm talking about the bit that starts at 3:23. seems to be by the same artist as the og gif i'm talking about and perhaps stems from smash bros a bit since one of the pikachus has an alternate costume from it on

I hate going to Christian-based hospitals. There's a bible verse slide show on the screens that other places usually have medical information graphics and resources on and I just got asked "Do you have a source of peace in your life?" like babygirl I'm here for neurological pain my source of peace is Lidocaine 4% and a heating pad

I am gonna give you an off topic question.

Where is the nearest airport in Florida

i am but a humble aussie who has never travelled abroad. i have NO clue where any airports in florida are and the only way i **MIGHT** be able to identify the state is because it kind of looks like italy???

omg how was rhe movie !!! as a shakespeare nerd its pretty much the only movie adaptation i really love :) i tend to prefer staged stuff, but something about that movie made me like shakespeare in film

i genuinely have no idea how good it is, like, objectively. i have never seen another romeo and juliet adaptation other than the gnome one. however i absolutely ADORED it. the more modern setting with the words unchanged? literally one of the best things i have seen ever i need one morbillion more of these bitches. now i didn't actually care all that much about r&j themselves until after Mercutio died (i'm a side character fan for life) but MAN the last part with those two. oh my god. my brain chemistry. i can feel it changing. it was very fun because Caroline (i think?) was like "where is the justice for Tybalt!" and it took all of me to not start going off at my laptop screen. like what the fuck dude ur boy killed a man first. justice my ass he had it coming (<- is aware of the irony of this situation however is choosing to ignore it in this moment in favour of being a vengeful bitch about it). the beginning at the gas station was SO fun though i want it tattooed directly on my brain. it scratched a similar itch that p&p&z did however i do not know what the itch is. maybe i should check out more Shakespeare.

You asked for a fic rec so I’ll toss this one at ya: https://archiveofourown.org/works/46767358?view_full_work=true Stick through the formatting for the characterization, tone, and really the whole vibe of this fic. I haven’t been able to get the bathroom call between Daigo and Majima out of my head for weeks since I read it with how naturally it all flows. My own little Daigo characterization booklet to review when I feel like I need a refresher on him.

so I may have stayed up until 6am reading this (would’ve slept earlier but I couldn’t stop reading it) and hgggahaghhhhaggahshhhhhhhh that was one of the most well-characterized fics I’ve ever read what the fuck. like the differences in how each character speaks (both tone-wise and in differing levels of authenticity) and how they speak to specific others (the daigo and majima dyanmic specifically- how they actually take into account how long they’ve been working really closely- SO good), the mental anguish and chaos vs the overwhelming emptiness of being daigo dojima but no longer The 6th Chairman Daigo Dojima……….I could keep going but I think you get it.

tbh I’d been wanting to write something exploring a similar set of dynamics/situation (post-kiryu’s fake death, interactions with haruka, daigo, and/or majima specifically, reflecting on his shortcomings while acknowledging the heavy Grief left behind) but now I’m like. well I still could but this was so well written in regards to daigo and haruka that, as far as something between those two goes, I don’t feel the need to.

thanks for the recommendation! my brain is broken now (affectionate)

anyways i am feeling kinda brave today so im gonna share a potentially unpopular taylor swift hot take. when i was talking to my friend yesterday about ttpd i realised that i kinda have a similar problem with the anthology as i do with evermore.

like don't get me wrong, both have absolute gems (willow, tolerate it, long story short, gold rush and NBNC from evermore are great and i love the albatross, so high school, the prophecy black dog, manuscript etc) but i think both collections (bc anthology is not an album) suffer because they came out connected to a much superior more cohesive work, and both almost feel like rejects from the body of work that proceeded it.

I ACTUALLY REALLY LIKE RHYTHM GAMES!! the issue is,, nightbringer isn't a ver good rhythm game TT or maybe i just have high standards bc i play games lie enstars and project sekai!! BUT PLS I WANNA HEAR U MONOILOGUING

it definitely feels a little barebones and clunky when compared to other rhythm games ive played, i just like the fact that it's like... relatively easy. it makes me feel like im good at rhythm games (i am not)

i played project sekai for a while!!!! ogh it was very fun

Watched a truly terrible movie today but there was an exchange that really captured me.

Guy 1: What are you trying to do? Do you want to kill me? Do you want me to kill you?

Guy 2: No! I love you!

Guy 1: You love me? If this is love, hate me, please.

Truly a quote so powerful youd think it was shakespeare but it’s actually from transylvania 6-5000 which I can’t stress enough is a really bad movie

[beepmon]

i really hate how i see ken get woobified down a lot by the fandom and even in the show just bc oh no he was just processed he’s actually just a sweet bean capable of no harm and i just don’t think that’s true like the dark seed mostly just makes you the worst version of yourself and in a more meta pov it’s about how his grief and inferiority complex let him harbor a really toxic mindset bc he felt isolated and how even the kindest people can become abusers and that a lot of his redemption arc could’ve been handled a bit better of him actually making more amends rather than wormon and daisuke instantly forgiving him. how do you deradicalize yourself? how do you reconnect to your inner kindness after the world turned you cruel?

that’s why i like ioris interaction with ken a lot bc iori is the character that makes ken take a hard look at himself but in a constructive way. it’s not the version of himself that wanted to die after looking at his crimes but the version of himself that is being held accountable by the character that cares most about justice and authenticity.

13, 14, 15, 26, 29 from the recent ask meme?

(13) Do you believe in reincarnation?

For the most part, I'd say yeah. I think it's very plausible, but I also think it's probably not *quite* what we think it is, if that makes any sense. That's basically my stance on all spiritual and religious beliefs -- there's probably truth to it, but we've probably got a few things wrong.

(14) Would you want to be reincarnated?

Mm... maybe. I lean more towards 'no,' but we don't always get what we want.

(15) Do you think you're special, or just another person among billions? Can you be both?

I think I'm a special kind of pain-in-the-ass.

Bad jokes aside, I think everyone's fairly unique or special in their own way and has potential for something, but few are able to really act on it. So I guess I think we can be both. Some are certainly more charismatic or influential than others, but I don't think any one human is inherently more special or valuable than the other.

(26) What's the most life-changing choice you've made so far?

In middle school we were studying ancient Greece and I decided to write a paper on Achilles (but you'll see me refer to him as 'Akhilleus' on my blog if I ever talk about him, for personal reasons).

Spoiler: I didn't stop researching after I finished my project and it led me down a whoooooooole different path in life.

(29) Do you believe in some form of god/s?

I do, but my beliefs are hard to explain with words and kinda... complicated, I guess?

I definitely believe in some forms of gods, but my belief is that the true nature of divinity is very much beyond human comprehension, and that gods have a symbiotic relationship to humans the same way different animals in the ecosystem do.

Like... I don't believe gods necessarily created the world, or that humans invented gods. I think gods exist in some form we cannot understand, and that much like humans and other animals, they adapt and change over time.

I don't believe ANY religion has all of the answers or even most of the answers, and I think it's absolutely bonkers how wild people will get about their arguments over gods and religion.

I think there's just a lot of things humans will never, ever fully understand, and the challenge of that is what makes it all so very fascinating to me. I'm a lot like Kimmuriel in this regard, I suppose: somewhere out there, there is a hard limit as to what I am capable of knowing, but that does not deter me in the slightest as I will keep trying to learn anyway.
