my friend, please wait for me. i will remember you.
i'm sorry that the best thing we can do is to put a picture on a wall as an attempt to freeze time.
remember me as you have known me. that part of me will always remain for you. i will always love you.

common human emotion of not feeling good enough. i'd rather be neutral and nothing. i want the world to be chaotic and colorful but i like being nothing. yet i'm human, i still bleed.
but if i breath, it's fine. if i remember that what i feel has been felt by someone before, it makes me less lonely. if i remember that nothing will genuinely matter to me when i pass away, it puts less burden.
an ideal goal for me is to maintain the same kind of core despite the circumstances in my life. emotions come and go. to entirely put my self worth in something so unstable is foolish.
perhaps nirvana is the only way but we are human still. we were created to desire, to hope and to dream. to be denied of the happiness we deserve will only result in our stubborn conviction to find that missing piece. even if it hurts us. even if it literally takes forever. we were born into an indifferent world where death seems more forgiving.
i'll find nirvana once i've accepted the fact i have desires too. as long as i understand that nothing belongs to me, it won't hurt me too deeply and i'll wake up again for another day.

Fun Fact: all the Jelletons in the Side Order DLC are named after musical terms!
Full list of bosses, term definitions, and some of my favorite connections I’ve found between the names and the enemies below the cut.
Enemies
Swarming Languendo - Languendo: a directive to perform the indicated passage of a composition in a slow, feeble, dramatic style.
Marching Andante - Andante: performed at a moderately slow tempo.
Battering Lento - Lento: a tempo instruction meaning the music is slow.
Drizzling Capriccioso - Capriccioso: lively, loosely structured musical composition that is often humorous in character.
Panicking Alla Mambo - Alla Mambo: musical direction to perform in the style of mambo, a style of Cuban dance music.
Whirling Accelerando - Accelerando: a tempo mark directing that a passage is to be played at an increasing speed.
Springing Spiccato - Spiccato: a style of playing a bowed stringed instrument in which the bow bounces lightly off the strings.
Gushing Trionfale - Trionfale: musical direction to play the music in a triumphant style.
Spawning Accordio - Accordio: the Italian word for chord, a musical term that describes playing two or more notes simultaneously.
Homing Arpeggio - Arpeggio: a type of broken chord in which the notes that compose a chord are individually sounded in a progressive rising or descending order.
Towering Nobilmente - Nobilmente: in a noble style
Bosses
Asynchronous Rondo - Rondo: a musical form that contains a principal theme which alternates with one or more contrasting themes (think like a song with a “verse chorus verse chorus bridge chorus” pattern).
Pinging Marciale - Marciale (can also be spelled as Marziale or Martiale): a musical directive indicates to the musician to play in a military-like style, usually a march.
Parallel Canon - Canon: a melody with one or more imitations of the melody played after a given duration (basically the melody is passed around between voice parts and/or instrument sections within the piece).
Marina Agitando - Agitando (can also be spelled as Agitato): restless or hurried in movement or style.
Some of my favorite connections between enemy names and enemy mechanics
Spawning Accordio and Homing Arpeggio - It’s so smart to have the boss named after a chord shoot off enemies named after the term for breaking up the chord!
Springing Spiccato - The bouncing enemy is named after the musical term for bouncing a bow off a string that’s SO GOOD
Whirling Accelerando - Same idea as Springing Spiccato but with the enemy that go zoom
Marina Agitando - It definitely feels intentional to make Marina’s boss be named after this term. Based on the dev diaries (note, I haven’t personally gotten them all yet) restless and hurried seems to describe Marina’s state as she worked on the Memverse since she felt the need to get it done as soon as possible, meanwhile she also had a world tour to be a part of. It’s a very subtle hint to talk about how Marina’s feelings before directly telling us.
Parallel Canon - There’s a lot of reasons why I love this name for this boss, mainly because it has double word play. The use of canon in a musical sense ties to how all of the enemies look practically identical to each other (aside from the very clearly inkling looking one, we’ll get back to that) but all of them use different weapons throughout the fight, a very literal representation of the whole “melody being passed between different instruments” thing in a very splatoon way. But that’s not the only use of the word canon in the name. It also refers to canon in terms of plot. They’re named Parallel Canon because it’s literally a Parallel Canon, an alternate universe. Showing into a glimpse of a world where Octarians won the Great Turf War, where Inklings were forced to become the nearly identical super soldiers for an army just trying to find a way to live. Maybe that’s why one of the members of the Parallel Canon looks almost identical to how Nintendo represents Agent 4, showing that 4 and 8 are connected, taking each others’ place in a universe that could have been.

hey jsyk while hellofresh is dummy expensive and i wouldn’t reccomend it if you already know how to cook (if you’re a beginner like i was when i had it for 3 months, then it’s worth it), you should know that ALL OF THEIR RECIPES are free on their website and they all fuck hard
i will say that all the cooking instructions for veggies are pretty much the same (season with salt + pepper and roast on the top oven rack at 425F), but if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
that being said, it also introduced me to methods i wasn’t at all expecting. i would have never thought to use cream cheese in my meat sauce, and now all my friends are constantly asking me to make my special rigatoni.
happy cheffin! :)

not into the game anymore... which i guess is a good thing. it wasn't good for me. i hope i'll be able to truly find peace with my existence someday.
at times, it beckons me; it rings within. all the cultivation that made me who i am, felt weightless when i wonder if my existence is nothing but a joke.
why not me?
i believe in no deity or religion, yet the innate feeling of guilt is programmed deep within me as human. as one day is gone, another is yet to come. so i chase after things that refuse to devour me whole. i just want to be free.
often, i'm blind sighted by my pride. i tower over others under the pretense of knowledge. as if i know it all, as if i have it in control. though at night, i cower underneath my quilt, wishing for an easier life.
there is no inherent meaning to the pain we go through, so we attach one to it. my life is like a movie in a cinema, but with only i as the attendant. only i as the director, critic and the audience.
i refuse to be held. you're lonely too, aren't you? yet your loneliness weighs differently than mine. you crave for someone to hold, but it renders you a child. all i can offer is nothing but pity. i can't carry your baggage there, i can barely carry mine.
if i roam this earth along with others who are present but never acknowledge me, will i be happy then? or at the very least safe, satiated and fulfilling. isn't that a life to live?
yet, i recoil when someone comes near. as i know, more often than not, within my eyes, they only look at their own.
humans are odd. we feel alone in what feels like a crowded population. still, this a path i chose. nothing else feels safe or freeing. nothing is without a price.
i look for a reason to be sad, it seems. the night and the rain converts my mind to be melancholic. this is a part of me, a part of me.
but still, my heart ache when i think of the glory someone else has. i feel as though, i'm left behind, burdened with all my past and worry. i hope i'll find peace.
devour me as a whole, will you?
