#well aside from my pets and music lol

[moonspirit]

what do u think the alliances favourite form of media is? (books, poetry, music, movies etc.) now that they’re able to freely enjoy such things

Hiya!

Oh well xD I have some strong opinions on this one.

For Armin, his fascination with books will not cease, obviously, and good for him if he finds a library he can spend all day cooped up in, reading about wonderful new things. But also, I like thinking that he's gonna enjoy music a lot. Once he gets his hands on some records, and the Alliance hauls a gramophone into their house, he's going to really become a music enthusiast. I see him bonding with Pieck over their mutual love for good music.

(also. Once he discovers a new machine or contraption or invention, it's over for everyone.)

Annie - well @aquietjune introduced the image of Annie being a movies lover, and it's been stuck in my head ever since xD It's just adorable to think she enjoys going to watch the moving pictures and can spend any amount of time there. But aside from this, while I think she's not much of a book person, I like the idea of her enjoying crossword puzzles a lot. She'd like to have something to keep her mind busy and they're good for that. Ofc, this means Armin and her can have dining table dates where he's reading a book and she's doing a puzzle and he helps her with words when they're being particularly difficult.

Jean - XD oh god. I imagine this guy likes activities that exude an air of elegance and class. This could be painting, or an interest in fine art, and poetry, museums, art galleries, the like. I think he'd also enjoy the movies and maybe he and Annie could go together for a few (tho she's not having any of his intellectual put-on opinions on them).

Pieck - she's gonna be a plant lady 100%. There will be so many plants in her room and in the house that a giant leaf is smacking everyone in the face wherever they go. I just think she's going to find some comfort raising baby plants especially if we consider that she's the only real "odd one out" in the Alliance. She's lost everyone she knew and loved and is a newcomer among the others. But! There's also the music! She's got good taste in music and I imagine she's going to find some closeness with Armin in this interest.

As for Connie and Reiner. See, I really think they'd enjoy festivals and carnivals and board games and shooting games haha xD Not that any of the others would enjoy them less, but they're the first to make a beeline if there's something going on somewhere. Reiner canonically enjoys playing chess too (if I'm remembering right, he used to play a lot with Armin during their cadet years). Connie would enjoy mimicry and jesting shows(?) a lot (plenty to laugh at) and I think Reiner would also enjoy romance novels a lot and get too involved in the drama. I just like making fun of him a lot sorry

Not related to media but I think taking care of pets would help them all, but Reiner in specific. Not going into details here cuz that is another tangent, but for someone with so many suicidal thoughts and ideations, finding joy in bonding with a dog or cat or any animal really, would be good for him.

Falco and Gabi? - they probably love everything! Though Gabi is too restless to sit in one place for anything too long lol. Falco would probably get great book recs from Armin.

Levi - leave the man alone in peace, he's got a tea shop. (But I also hc that he likes the radio a lot)

Mikasa? - I think she'd also like radio broadcasts a lot, and going to plays. I have a very hard time getting into her headspace 🥲

haiiii bb✨ i hope you had the best weekend!

i’m still not sure how he managed to do that tbh, i don’t think it’s too easy to achieve😅 so momo is prob safe from that. wasabi is an orange cat, we can’t expect much from him in the braincell department. im glad baby momo is getting better too🫶🏻 we stan her

frfr, idk how people abandon their pets. i’m literally so attached to every animal ever. i see a stray cat at a park and i’ll think of them forever and worry about them too. and people who don’t spay their cats and expect them to be outdoors are such assholes. i’ve had to spay/neuter 10+ cats due to overpopulation in the last two years and i have four more females to go (excluding my own 8 out of 9 cats). it’s insane and so so so sad. the fact that they took off the collar is so stupid too. it really sucks. i cannot comprehend.

star, idk how you do it!!! living where you live in the kpop era must be so hard😭 like, we love the exposure but my bank doesn’t. i sometimes wish i lived somewhere with a lot of kpop concerts but kinda not at the same time bc i just know i couldn’t afford most of them and i’d get the worst case of fomo. i wish you the best at your choice of concerts😂

anddd i didn’t know you stanned nct dream or itzy! follow up: which groups do you stan and who are your biases? i lovveeeee nct! i don’t really stan any ggs aside from twice and new jeans but i’d so love to listen to more so any recs would be gr8!!!

frfr ive never been confident with myself (and ik that’s like my biggest problem bc confidence is so attractive). kpop beauty standards kinda took a toll on me especially after my surgery, grad school, depression worsening etc etc. but ive learned to make delulu my solulu and be like “minho would love me even if im not pretty or skinny” and all is well (what he wouldn’t love about me is that i only eat meat when i absolutely have to bc i hate it😂). i love skincare though so if you ever need to discuss skincare im ur girl🔥 aside from kpop, plushies & cats my ocd also manifests at compulsively buying hundreds of dollars of skincare products🔥

i love you my darling bb. i hope you have the best week!! i’ve never had cheese danishes therefore im so glad i virtually tried them with you💕

-🐈‍⬛

HIIIIIIIII BBYYYY I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST MONDAY 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

Momo is doing so much better today (she’s currently napping on my freshly washed laundry❤️) so I think it might’ve been a weather thing! Hopefully her itching doesn’t come back but I’m still gonna look into bee pollen and see if it helps :’)

I KNOW I feel so very overprotective of every cat ive ever come across and it baffles me that people are just okay with abandoning their cats like that?? Especially after YEARS of owning them!??? How 😭 I don’t even like leaving momo alone for the day (despite her having an automatic feeder and a water fountain and cameras to watch her every move) so I don’t know how people abandon a cat indefinitely 💔 it’s fr so sad to me

HONESTLY it was so much easier to save money when there weren’t so many kpop things here but now we have kpop stores at every corner with v exclusive merch and preorder benefits and concerts every MONTH I can’t save money for the life of me 😭 I SWEARRRRR I buy some useless kpop thing at least once a week it’s so bad! I’m on a buying ban right now bc I just bought jhope’s on the street merch and that is ALLLL I am letting myself buy for the foreseeable future 🫡 hopefully

I LOOOOOOVE NCT OH MY GOSHHHHH okay list of my groups & biases (I might miss a few so bear w me):

Skz: JISUNGGGGG & Felix is my bias wrecker 🫶💖

Bts: jhope!!!!!!!!! Jin is my bias wrecker!

Nct 127: Yuta & Haechan! Wreckers always change but right now probs Taeyong (enlistment era starts today😔)

Nct Dream: I literally just started getting more serious about being into them despite listening to their music for a while LOL but deffffff Renjun & Haechan! 🫶

I LOOOOOOVE NCT THOUGH RAHHHHHHH when I tell you I have been crying alllllll day bc of Taeyong enlistment FUCKKKK IM SO SAD 😭😭😭 did you see Mark and Haechan tried to go to his send off and missed it because their flight was rerouted?? GODDDD I’m so sad for them 😭 I brought my Ty bby to today’s coffee run I miss him already 😔💔

PLEASE kpop beauty standards hit you in the face when you least expect it frfr like I always told myself I didn’t care how I looked in comparison and all of a sudden it was like oh nvmmmm 😀 It comes and goes in waves as of now and lately I’ve been trying to work more on just liking myself as a person (and being delulu because that’s the solution to everything) and I also find that’s the best way to combat it 🫶 ALSO SKINCARE YESSSSS I will absolutely bug you for skincare recs I have the worst habit of buying skincare just for the cute packaging LMFAOOOO I need to buckle down and buy actual cute stuff 😭

I love you so much bby have the best week!!!!! Here’s today’s pc I took just for you 🫶👼 I love u!!!!!

[jahayla-parker]

Hii, I was wondering if you had any tips for us ADHD folks for focusing on tasks because I’ve had a horrible week with focusing on tasks even as small just doing the dishes and it’s really stressing me out. No pressure to answer this, I really like your Freddy fics btw, they are soooo comforting and your most recent was is PERFECTION.

Thank you for your question. I’m sorry you’re struggling! As a fellow ADHDer, I know how difficult this can be and that many people don’t understand what it’s like and that it’s NOT laziness or a lack of willpower.

I have put a readmore break for those not interested or otherwise trying to get to other posts. 💜

Sleep! Omg sleep is ssooooo important. I struggle with this so much! (If you need more advice on how to fix this lmk). But sleep is crucial otherwise the symptoms will get worse as sleep deprivation only increases adhd symptoms.

Write down notes/ideas as they come. Don’t try to make yourself memorize or remember things when you don’t need to. My iPhone notes are so random but helpful! This will help get take the pressure off and allow your brain to rest.

Focus on easy wins! I cannot stress this enough!!!! ADHD paralysis/executive dysfunction can make everything feel overwhelming. Breaking tasks into smaller and more manageable tasks seems simple (and in terms of application it is) but it helps more than you’d think! It takes the pressure off of each task. Don’t forgot in getting it all done. Choose one task. Then, chose the first step(s) of the task and set some time (what seems manageable currently not what “you should designate” to it) aside to do it. Then give yourself some rest (see ideas below). Then repeat as needed.

Unless you have to, don’t force yourself to stick to a strict schedule. You might want to choose one important task to schedule if needed (ideally still do it the way mentioned above though). But don’t map out your whole day if it can be avoided. This feels, looks, and in many ways is, far too much. Ideally plan a rest activity too if you’re going to schedule anything.

Rest and self care is super important. This can look different from person to person. Especially downing on what your triggers are or what type of stimulation is best for you. For me and many others (but not all) prefer/find calming stimulation to be easier/better aka grounding. Examples of common grounding techniques include: painting (I alternate between my nails and a color by number set personally), coloring, drawing (for some, not me personally though), reading (varies a lot on effectiveness for people), yoga, etc.

Physical activity can help too but is understandably hard to do when these symptoms hit. Smaller/shorter/less intensity exercises are typically better and easier to get done when it feels like this. The key is rhythmic movement as studies have shown this to help (can help with ptsd too!)

Rhythmic activities examples (both physical and otherwise): Things like a few minutes of yoga/stretching, rolling/bouncing/tossing a ball, (drawing/paint/color can be included here too), tap feet/fingers/etc at a calm but steady pace, find something that makes (or can make) a soft sound and initiate that sound in a calm steady pace, listen to meditation music, petting/brushing a pet, etc.

Don’t strive for perfection. This is a hard one for me too. But, aim to complete something even if it’s not perfect. The pressure to perform well can in itself make the task harder. In these times, completion (even of a tiny step within a task) is perfection!

Motivate yourself! Completion isn’t enough motivation, so don’t even try to argue that idea lol. Instead, reward yourself for reaching small milestones. Motivation is a great psychological tool to overcome this. It can be whatever is the most exciting for you (please consider your health as well. -mostly referring to avoiding substance and addictive behaviors)

Hopefully this helps!💜

Ramble about my day today + Photos

FACE REVEAL BELOW IF YA DONT WANNA SEE, KINDA VENTY AT SOME PARTS

Morning was about the same, but it looked pretty as always. Cloudy sky's, humid air, the sound of crickets. I saw my friends cat outside her house this morning so I pet him again and even took a video of him I posted a while ago. I ended up taking the bus like usual, listened to some music on the way, took some photos, and when I got to school, I just ended up having Gatorade again for breakfast as my friends talked and also complimented my new haircut./lh

(One of them said I looked like a Victorian woman lol)

(New haircut—)

Psychology came once again. I got kinda scolded for having my headphones on without realizing, but it's fine kdndnsn. I didn't have a dream last night, so I fortunately had nothing to write down for my assignment regarding my dreams this day. We ended up just having some light hearted banter though, and were told to write about something we like and why. So.. I ended up writing a (technically) two page essay about spooky month that I finished in like fifteen minutes. And then just spent the rest of the time playing roblox on my phone during advisory because the site I use to work on Geometry stuff was being laggy.

Spanish came around after—and we didn't get much done, but we kinda just went over the stuff we're gonna be doing to help us learn for the subject itself and weren't able to go over a story in Spanish our teacher was gonna read us. I also said hi to my Geometry teacher during the beginning period of second period, and my Spanish teacher complimented my haircut./lh

Chemistry came around, and not a lot happened aside from filling out a bunch of notes and cutting out stuff we're apparently gonna use later. But it was fun since I was able to listen in on some funny conversation, and also one of my friends only just now noticed my spooky month hoodie./lh

Technology came around. We're supposed to be coming up with concepts for an animation movie, so I wrote a concept for an animated movie where the main character is a sassy sarcastic easily anxious female cashier who gets isekai'd into a stereotypical fantasy world (the cashier is inspired by Kevin kdndndn). I finished rather quickly, so I spent the rest of the time working on the Hot To Go comic.

Didn't do much for lunch, aside from play roblox and eat some chips while my friends talked. They were saying some pretty bad stuff though like usual, so I kinda tuned em out. I know they're just teens like me and act all edgy and will one day learn their lesson, but Jesus fucking christ it's really hard to remember that sometimes. The only reason I haven't said anything about it is because I'm scared of what they might do to me if they don't take my concerns that well.

English came around—we read our books for a little while, and ended up playing a somewhat stressful but rather fun game where we have to circle a bunch of tiny/giant numbers on a paper in order. And my team ended up being the winning one. We weren't able to read the book we're supposed to be reading cuz of how long the game went on for tho.

Theater also came around—where we were all grouped up into four, and because my table had six, I split up to a different table with this guy, his partner, and some random dude. The assignment was to do our skit, and our prompt was someone being pulled over by a British journalist (changed to a cop for our skit). We weren't given enough time to prepare so we had to improv, and I was the British oddly gruff uncomfortable police officer who basically interrogated this guy as his cat just wondered around the car. We played 'Freeze' during the last minutes of class, and I got to change the three 3 times—with the scene changes being me as a arrogant classist person accusing someone of not being good enough for their daughter, a Disney channel bully, and an eldritch crab entity that growled and chased people around. The random dude I partnered up with said I was just too good for everyone since they kept kicking me out like a few seconds in and seemed to find me funny.

Geometry was kinda boring as per usual—with me just working on different Geometry stuff online as my teacher sort of bothered other people in an attempt to be friendly and ended up just arguing with some random student because he accused him of 'doing nothing all day'. And he also started getting really political for some reason. And going on about how much he loves America.

The last period was World History, where I joked around with one of my friends and finished an assignment I was working on with him. Then we filled in some notes about what we learnt so far, but we didn't have much time left, so we're just gonna be working on them tomorrow.

..today was kinda meh.

Photos I took today:

[red1ight]

i am home early from work today yay so i can share my thoughts re:the dc comeback

well. it's very different for them but very much the same in terms of the kpop gg landscape rn... so that's boring to me. especially the english lyrics of 'i'm flawless i'm gorgeous my black dress' are so tired, a bit eye-roll. as is the heavy use of english lyrics itself. like i know they're trying to appeal to foreign fans (esp usamerican fans since they're looking to release an english album soon) but.. why? anyway i digress that's a different conversation.. as for the structure of the song itself, it's predictable, the rhythmic speaking over the electronic synths is also very overplayed, i don't care for that.

that all being said,, i don't think the song is overall Bad like i think it's kinda fun once i get past the standards and expectations i have of their music LOL. but im frustrated because if they really wanted to go this route musically, and conform to the current trends, they could still do so much to insert their own color, which i feel like normally is their strong suit. I can appreciate that they still opted for an acoustic drum beat and electric guitar in certain places, but aside from that.. they could have at least done more to spice it up. like for the chorus, they could have messed around with the progressions and leaned more into some interesting minor chords. i wish i knew music terminology to better articulate this idea LMAO anyway

I think yoohyeon in particular has some nice parts, the prechorus is enjoyable, but for a group with such overall strong vocals, there just wasn't much at all to this song. jiu and sua were particularly underutilized vocally which is a real shame.

as for choreo - i find it boring for the same reasons, it's just like everything else you can expect from an 'i'm bad' 'girl-crush' song (do ppl still use that term? can we retire it? have we already? idk). the tiktokification of kpop choreo is disappointing, especially from them since we know what they're capable of.

i think the concept is just a bit disappointing coming from them? it just doesn't seem to fit the image they've created or fanbase they've built.. i mean i know having a somewhat 'alt' (using that term really loosely here) image in the industry will not profitable forever but.. idk maybe it would? is it better to just do the same thing as every other group rn? isn't that why so many groups fell off around 2015-ish? because there was an oversaturation of the same concepts?? idk. also im getting kind of tired of the album 'concept' never having anything to do with the title track honestly it's become a real pet peeve for me like what does this have to do with villains or the cool spooky teasers they had in the very beginning of i think last (?) month? where's the intention where's the thought where's the care where's the artistry !! i've been thinking this for a while, but everything just feels rushed and barely thought-out.

all to say that it's nothing special, it could be fun to listen to if im in the right mood and ignore the english lyrics, but disappointing (sorry realizing im using that word a lot lol) only because i have such high standards for them. so it'll most likely end up being a skip for me. oh well. i'll check out the b sides of course though

[tussive]

Are you named after anyone?

Nope, my mom said I needed a powerful name for when I was a big businessman lol.

When was the last time you cried?:

Like just a few tears or like full blown crying? Few tears I've cried a couple of times today, full blown crying probably like a week?

Do you have kids?

Nope.

What sports do you play?

None really. I'd like to get into boxing and there is a boxing gym in town now but I'm in such poor shape I feel like going would probably be a waste? I wanna drop some weight and build some muscle first and then I can start doing that I guess.

Do you use sarcasm?

I mean, doesn't everyone to an extent? I don't like sarcasm when it's obviously sarcasm though. The funniest joke is told completely straight imo.

What’s the first thing you notice about someone?

I don't know that there's anyone one particular thing, aside from how bad or not bad they make my anxiety, ease of conversation, etc.

Eye colour?

Like mostly green. Looking at that eye chart, like a D20 or D30 most likely.

Scary movies or happy endings?

I like scary movies, but I like sad endings more than both.

Any talents?

I'm good at teaching myself things, when I'm really dedicated to them. I'm good at researching things and accumulating information. I'm not sure if you'd call this a talent as much as personality trait, but I'm very adaptable. I think if I had to I could acclimate to most situations.

Where were you born?

Norwich, CT

Hobbies?

The last like probably 4 years I've spent doing pretty much nothing but laying in bed and watching the same TV shows on repeat. I'm working on pulling myself out of that hole and engaging in activities and hobbies I like, but it's hard. But I like baking. I like, I don't know what you'd call it. I like making things myself with regard to food? I like sprouting, I like making yogurt and stuff. I was really into coffee for a bit. I like fountain pens and penpaling and cute stationary. I'm a big fan of music. I want to start getting into carnivorous plants more.

Any pets?

None, but if you've been following me for a while you've met The Girls. They were three rats and they were the sweetest girls in the world and I miss them every day. I don't think I'm well suited for pets because despite loving animals, I can't handle when they die very well.

Height?

5'8"

Favourite school subject?

My least favorite was math, but I don't know that I really had a favorite. I liked school well enough, but idk. They wanted me to skip a grade, but my grandparents thought I'd get bullied for it. I wish they had let me. School was way too easy for me basically the entire time and by the time I reached a point where I really could've taken harder classes, I was totally checked out. So I liked going to school, I liked learning things, but I wish I had had a more engaging experience with it. I guess I liked English or science best.

Dream job?

I mean, real dream job? Something easy and bullshit-y that pays me like $1M a year. Real job that I'd like to do though? I don't know. I wanted to be a translator for a while. I wanted to go into pharmaceutical research for a while. I wanted to be a social worker for a while. I think I'm one of those people who no matter what isn't going to enjoy their job though. Like some people their job is their passion, for me my job is just a means to get money to pursue my passions. So I don't know.

Tagging: I'm going to try and tag different people this time, but if I tagged you in the other one then you're tagged here too lol. @420--wrld @hotrail @immigrant @penglue @birdsinthetrap666 @real-doozy anyone else who wants to do it also =3

Dominic Newlow for the ask game 👀

🎹Dominic Newlow:💉

Sexuality Headcanon: Bisexual

Gender Headcanon: Male

A ship I have with said character: Dominic/Duncan... No surprise there lol. I'm just a sucker for the whole good guy/bad guy dynamic and the thought of Duncan trying to figure out what's up with Dominic and getting more horrified once he comes closer to the truth is quite interesting. I also think that he's one of those characters that could make him better as a person under the right circumstances! Another pairing I quite like for Dominic is him and Daschell Swank. Whereas Duncan could make him better, Daschell would make him worse lol. Like this would be the most over the top villain couple that would eventually get at each other's throats because they can no longer deal with each other's crap lmao!

A BROTP I have with said character: Lincoln and Dominic, I've seen some fun stuff of them over time and I can definitely imagine them brainstorming together and being book club buddies or some shit. Dominic and Kayleigh, Dominic and Hazel or Dominic and Vidcund are also friendships I can 100% imagine for different reasons. Dominic and Olive is also something I can imagine under very odd circumstances. Not necessarily friends, but definitely two people that would respect each other. Lastly Penelope Kline/Dominic of course, those two might as well be buddies because no way would Dominic trust his home to just anyone.

A NOTP I have with said character: Dominic/Circe and Dominic/Loki. Also Penelope/Dominic, I love the thought of them as good friends, but I'm not all that fond of them dating.

A random headcanon: Aside from enjoying old spy movies, this also translates to older music and decors. He's a sucker for Blues, Jazz and Classical Music. And while he enjoys anything from before the 2000s, his preference usually goes to anything from the 70s and below. On top of that he also isn't too big on animals. Does not hate them, but he likes keeping his home clean and tidy. He may have developed a soft spot for Duncan's dog at this point, but that's largely because the old pooch knows how to worm his way into your heart! Maybe if a stray cat keeps pestering him enough, his heart would open up to a pet of his own... He just has far too many walls build around him.

General Opinion over said character: Favourite character, hands down. And not just from Sims, I think he's definitely in my top 3 favourite characters of all time. He's just such a fascinating character and that while he's literally from a spin-off game from the PSP of all things haha! I love how much he delves into the whole Simulation Theory and Existential Dread and wish more people delved into that with him.

4. Which is your favorite print: Plaid, animal, stripes, spots, other? >> Plaid is the one I dislike the least...

5. Have you ever owned a cell phone for over a year? If so, was it still working well? >> There is no way I would voluntarily get a new phone after less than a year. That is horrifying to me.

Are you the type of person who feels guilty after eating junk food? >> I don’t feel guilty after eating anything. God, what a concept. :/

13. Tell me about a time when you felt like you had no real friends: >> I always feel like that. It might be a side effect of having no fulfilling friendships (aside from Sparrow, I suppose, but the "fulfilling" part is, uh, variable).

14. Have you ever felt betrayed by someone? If so, what did they do to make you feel that way? >> Possibly. I never use this term so I don't have an associated memory handy.

16. Have you gotten registered to vote yet? >> I am registered.

30. Do you have a turntable and vinyls that you regularly play? >> I do have these things but I don't regularly use them. It's just so much more of a hassle to do so than it is to just play Spotify. Also, I don't think my record player has Bluetooth capability and I usually listen to music through wireless headphones.

32. Have you ever thrown up from being so nervous? What was happening that made you so nervous? >> I have not.

33. Would you rather be uncomfortable but fashionable or comfortable but unfashionable? >> I will always choose to be comfortable, but I don't think that excludes me from being fashionable. It just requires some cleverness.

15 Questions 15 Mutuals

Tagged by @Kf-tea

1. Are you named after anyone?

In terms of my deadname yes- I was named after my mother, and it was (as often is for spanish families) in combination with my middle name, which is after my grandmother.

My current name isn't after a family member, but has a symbolic relation to my deadname.

2. When was the last time you cried?

Maybe a month ago because I was worried I hurt my girlfriend's feelings :'D

3. Do you have kids?

Nope. I like kids, but no desire to have my own.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

I think I used to be more so. These days it tends to come out only in two ways: if I am currently with someone I know very well and who knows I am not being mean-spirited, or if I am with a stranger and they are being an ass lol.

5. What sports do you play/have played?

I was a very active kid and would do all the sports! Though my favorites were soccer, and martial arts, tae kwon do and shinkendo. I have been meaning to get back into martial arts when I have more time.

6. Whats the first thing you notice about people?

I think its a tie between the persons overall face shape/facial features and their voice.

7. What's your eye colour?

Brown lol deep brown but still light enough that its not hard to see my pupils. Unless under a black light apparently lmao

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Not sure why these are mutually exclusive? But happy endings regardless of genre lol

9. Any special talents?

Art things mostly. I'm especially skilled at drawing figures and some animals. I'm a decent singer although that is completely untrained lol

I also have a strange talent for making puns completely unintentionally so they come out very sincerely and then 5 seconds later I laugh at it

10. Where were you born?

Arizona

11. What are your hobbies?

Drawing extremely self indulgent art, curating playlists for OCs-both for drawing noise and to imagine cool amvs in my head about them, singing and playing guitar, playing video games and occasionally blogging about them, watching old animes and reading old mangas

12. Do you have pets?

One fluffball tortie named Pumpkin who I really ought to post more pictures of. There are plans for a kitten-puppy duo soon though now that we live in a house lol

13. How tall are you?

I'm just going to say about 5' since I have apparently already begun shrinking LOL;;

14. Favorite subject in school?

Aside from art, I have always loved history-particularly the period from about the 1100s to the 1700s, Music, and P.E.

15. Dream job?

I mean I want to just make web comics, play music, sing, and maybe make some video game lets plays

But since capitalism is a thing I'm aiming for a day-job of catalogging video game archives lol

I have little awareness of who are my mutuals so I am just going to tag 15 people with the help of my activity feed lmao;;;

Tagged by the lovely lady @lolahardy … as well as @killym You are both beautiful souls and I thank you ❤️

Are you named after anyone: Not that I know of? My birthname is just something my mom liked. My chosen name is something *I* liked, lol.

When was the last time you cried: Today, actually. Got a bit emotionally overwhelmed. Still am, kinda. Fun times.

Do you have kids: Nope. Don’t want ‘em. If my future partner feels differently, maybe we can have a discussion. But that’s between me and them.

Do you use sarcasm a lot: Dude, sarcasm is my second language. I was quite fluent in it when I was a teenager. A bit less now, but I’m still familiar.

What sports do you play/have played: Aside from the ones I was forced into in school, ZERO.

What's the first thing you notice about people: Physically? Eyes, maybe. Which is ironic considering how averse to eye contact I am. Non-physically? Kindness. And humor, but mostly kindness.

What's your eye color: Brown

Scary movies or happy endings: Depends on how I’m feeling at the time. Right now, happy endings. But I do love scary movies.

Any special talents: Uhhhhhh, relentless optimism? Believing in the best of people, despite how many times my hope has been stomped on? If that doesn’t count, then idk.

Where were you born: Western Washington, near Seattle. In the city I currently reside in, actually. Different area, but still.

What are your hobbies: reading, writing, gaming, music. Every time I get asked this question, I immediately forget every single thing I like to do, lol.

Do you have pets: Yep! A sun conure and a border collie mix.

How tall are you: 5 foot 6 inches; about 169cm (I think?)

Favorite subject in school: History, easily. But it really depended on the teacher.

Dream job: Almost anything to do with writing. I’ve had the same dream since I was like 9, lol.

I’ll tag… @5ftjewishcactus @gerec @ghostrepeater @turtletotem @tigercublove and @tetchy-frog if they want to do it, of course❤️

Share your wallpaper:

Laptop lock screen

Home screen

Phone lock screen

Just a turtle emblem on a black background

Phone home screen

As you can see, turtles are still in my brain rent-free.

Last song you listened to: Not counting the instrumental stuff I put on to help me write? YT music says it was Yasashi Kiss by Hitomi Shimatani, but before that, it was Adoro by the Broncos, The Guiding Key by Liz Robinett, Passing Through by Kadan Mackay, Feel it Still by Portugal. The Man, and a remixed version of I Love You Baby by Gloria Gaynor. I also listen to a lot of electro swring and stuff with a good bass beat, as well as jazz and classical.

Currently reading: nothing specific at the moment, just different fanfics, haha. My sister really wants me to start reading one of her favorite series, but I can't ever seem to dredge up the willpower to do it.

Last movie you watched: The whole way through? The Mario movie. I've seen bits and pieces of others since then whenever my mom's watching one, but not the whole thing.

I'm not counting the Rise movie since that's just a permanently open tab on my laptop now.

Craving: Frozen yogurt. Or a bacon avocado cheeseburger. Or steamed buns. Or all of them. It's been a while since I've had them, and I want some.

What are you wearing right now: Stitch pajamas when I started this, but work clothes right now since I'm at work.

How tall are you: 5'3"

Piercings: I guess my ears? Pretty sure one or both of them have closed over by now, though.

Tattoos: None. At most, I've done those fake paper ones that used to come with packs of gum, but nothing permanent. Don't really plan to, either.

Glasses? Contacts?: Both. Since middle school. Used to hate glasses, but now I love them. Only thing I don't like is the poor vision that comes with it, haha. Contacts are for work or trips to places like theme parks where I'm afraid they'll fall off on a ride or something.

Last drink: Water. If we're talking alcoholic...I don't even remember. I'm not a big drinker.

Last thing I ate: Pizza for dinner. And breakfast since I was too lazy to make anything.

I don't even know what toppings were on these but they were delicious.

Last show: TMNT, specifically, "The Real World" from the 03 series. I need my reference video.

Favorite Color: Red and purple. Green is nice too.

Current obsession: I think it's pretty obvious, lol. TMNT.

Unrelated obsession: ... I'm not sure what to put here. Fluffy things? Cute things like penguin stickers? ...Pokémon?

Any pets: 4 cats, 2 dogs, all rescues. We are very much a "You're coming home with me" family.

Crush on anyone?: No one that's real, lol, and my fictional "crushes" are said more as a joke more than anything. Am I opposed to the idea of romance and being in a relationship? Not at all, but I'm not gonna go out of my way to find one or stress out about it either. If it happens, it happens, and if not, that's cool too.

Favorite fictional characters: Now these I have a lot of. Yusuke Urameshi, Yagami Taichi, Gary Oak, Roronoa Zoro (although I love all the strawhats really), Michelangelo (though again, I love pretty much all the ninja turtles), Knuckles, Tails, Professor Layton, Donald Duck, Sora, Cloud Strife, Vincent Valentine, Zack Fair, Maes Hughes (and most of the FMAB cast), Luigi, and many more. These are just some of the first ones that come to mind, but it would take too long if I did all of them, lol.

Last place you traveled to: ...What is this traveling you speak of?

Joking aside, probably Tucson, Arizona, to visit my brother. Not counting that? Mexico, but that was ages ago.

Tagging...uh...*checks to see who actually interacts with me on here* @klonoadreams and @eldritchgray I guess?

[a-pale-azure-moon]

I've barely scratched the surface of TotK and I can feel my brain wanting to disappear down the Zelda rabbit hole. I am desperately trying to keep at least half of it in my writing brainspace but damn is it hard. There's so much temptation to just plop down with my Switch for the next eight hours and forget about everything else.

Anyway, I'm still very early in but I'll put my ramblings under the cut just in case.

-I know the popular joke was that TotK is just "$70 DLC." Obviously it is not with all of the new content, but it genuinely feels like I'm playing BotW again, only with new tools and new places to discover. And I don't consider that a bad thing! I spent almost 300 hours playing BotW and still wished there was more I could do (aside from hunting down all the Koroks because screw that), so I'm happy to be revisiting this world and exploring it all over again. Though I won't lie that I miss having all the gear and upgrades I had by the end of BotW. I'd forgotten how easy it is to die in stupid ways early on.

-Holy hell is there so much to explore. Maybe too much. Even with the nudges the game gives you, it's really hard to know where to even begin once you leave the Great Sky Island. I haven't even done any of the main dungeons yet; I've just been wandering around looking for shrines and seeing what's changed. It's even more daunting knowing there's stuff in the sky and in the depths to explore as well.

-The Depths freak me out. I've only been in there once and I'm not eager to go back until I'm stronger. Never been a fan of dark places in video games; you never can know what's lurking there, waiting to ambush you.

-It's nice to see all the familiar NPCs. Bumping into Purah and Robbie right away made me smile.

-It's also nice to see that Hyrule's been rebuilding since the end of BotW, but that evidence of the Calamity still exists (Castle Town especially). It makes the world feel that much more organic and real.

-That opening sequence was choice. Like, the approach to Ganon's lair, with the increasing gloom and the ominous music, literally sent shivers down my spine. Good shit.

-Ultrahand is amazing and I've only just begun to really play with its powers.

-To whomever at Nintendo designed the Gloom Spawn/Grabby hands/Nightmare Fuel, I hate you. May all your bacon burn for the rest of your life.

-I miss the Bomb runes SO MUCH.

-What happened to all the Sheikah technology anyway? I totally get dismantling all the Guardians considering they were the scourge of Hyrule for a long time, but did the towers and the Slate just...stop working?

-I'm fascinated by Rauru (and no, it's not just because he has Dimitri's voice, though I won't lie that it makes him that much more appealing, lol). So, we know that's his right arm that Link is "borrowing," and all of Link's new powers specifically come from that arm. And that same arm was keeping Ganon sealed away for....some length of time I'm not aware of yet, but I'm guessing it was awhile. And the new shrines are implied to contain fragments of Rauru's power as well. Just how powerful is this guy? Also, the reveal that he's the first King of Hyrule too (and married to a Hylian woman!) just makes things more interesting.

Also, also, look how adorable he is! I want to pet his ears and brush his hair! But I also want see him go ham at some point because the game sure as hell implies that he's god-like and I'm here for it.

...But it'll probably also make me sad because he's well, dead now and it's likely because sealing Ganon away cost him his life. =(

(I'm still reeling that Rauru's voiced by Chris Hackney, and it's even more wild with Matt Mercer being the voice of Ganon. How is it that the VAs of both of my FE husbands wound up in this game? Thanks for making sure the brainrot never ends, Nintendo!)

15 Tags 15 Mutuals

Thank you @toribookworm22 for the tag. I've been waiting for the right time to answer. So, let's go!

1. Are you named after anyone?

I am, actually. My parents named me in honor of my late brother. With the mix of my mother's name and his, my name was born.

2. When was the last time you cried?

Ohh. Tough question. Actually it was this week. With so much going on, last week proved to be quite overwhelming; it eventually caught up to me about three days ago.

3. Do you have kids?

Nope lol

4. Do you use sarcasm?

Is it even possible not to?

5. What's the first thing you notice about people?

The way the speak, I think. Especially if I'm meeting them for the first time. If it's someone I know, then there's that and their clothing.

6. What's your eye color?

Dark brown

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

Surprisingly, a mix of both. I do enjoy happy endings more though. I've been a lot more open to thrillers lately, however. Depends of my mood lol

8. Any special talents?

I guess being able to see figures from random spots and smudges. It's fun and very useful to create ideas. I am also very good when it comes to psychologically analyzing people. Doesn't always work lol but yep.

9. Where were you born?

I was born by Yucatan, Mexico 🇲🇽

10. What are your hobbies?

I enjoy writing ofc, drawing and doodling too. I also enjoy singing, albeit not the best voice, but music is just...well music. For some time I was into design too. Both graphic and interior design.

11. Have you any pets?

I do. A small 2-year-old pup named Lucky. Love the energetic fuzzball.

12. What sports do you play/have played?

I used to do both swimming and TKD. Still kind of practice the latter every now and then.

13. How tall are you?

LOL I'm about 1.5 m, which is the equivalent to 4'9" approx. I know, I know, I'm a short lad.

14. Favorite subject in school?

Biology always won for me, as did Language Arts and Literature. Then I loved the workshops (basically art class) even more. Civics was also awesome too (debates turned out to be really cool). Currently and so far, I've been able to enjoy Phylosophy.

15. Dream job?

I'd love to be able to get into acting though; not precisely big time TV acting lol, but rather theater would be really awesome. Aside from art, education or psychology really call out to me as well.

[hyaciiintho]

Know the Mun/Blogger !

1. Are you named after anyone? Not my first name, but my middle name is after my Mom and my Grandmother! Noelia-- Mine is just Noël ♡

2. When was the last time you cried? Literally 5 hours ago as of writing this, when watching the ending to A Plague Tale: Requiem hsjkddgf But crying isn't a rare occurrence otherwise, anyways.

3. Do you have kids? Nope, just one fuzzy child in the form of a cat pffft~

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot? Not really actually... it's rare that I do, now that I think about it. But when I do, then you know I'm annoyed LOL

5. What sports do you play/have you played? I played volleyball a ton growing up, it was my favorite sport. Other than that, the usual stuff was forced on me via gym class when I was in high school. Nothing I particularly enjoyed, aside from swimming and volleyball c':

6. What’s the first thing you notice about other people? When people overshare upon first meeting, and even in contrast, when people share nothing but invite you to share. It seems to always end up with the person wanting you to themselves and they tend to get easily jealous when others have your attention. Romantic relationships are hard enough, the pressure of being "tied down" to a single friend? No thanks. And if the excuse is "best friends" well... "Best friends" doesn't equal only friend.

7. Scary movies or happy endings? How about... Scary movies with a happy ending ?? Pffft~ but for real, I love me a good horror film. Anything paranormal related or Zombies, I'm absolutely there. I enjoy a good thriller here and there, but I love a good spooky horror movie !!

8. Any special talents? I do art and play a couple of music instruments, but I tend to pick up on any new ones with just sitting down and playing them by myself-- so I guess that's a pretty special talent!

9. Where were you born? New Jersey !!

10. What are your hobbies? Art, Writing, Photography, Gaming, and I want to get back into Biking ♡

11. Do you have any pets? -Gestures to aforementioned fuzzy child- My baby boy, Apple of my eye, Sun in my sky, Pain in my ass-- My cat, Link LMAO

12. How tall are you? I am a very intimidating, entirely respectable, authority demanding height of... 5'4" c':

13. Fave subject in school? Art & Music classes were always my favorites, but I also enjoyed my English classes in High school specifically!

14. Dream job? I used to want to be a comic/manga artist, but then I changed that to being a character designer for video games. Right now though, I just want anything that lets me create. I'm tired of being tired from catering to other people. I want to write stories. Create characters. Share experiences through media. Just let me create.

15. Eye colour? Brown, kinda on the russet side.
