Another story from the Taiwan trip my betrothed and I went on:

All the subways and public transit were immaculate in Taipei, so we took it everywhere. You get reloadable cards, similar to in the states. But unlike here the chime to tell you it scanned is not a stupid boring beep.

The machines trilled a bright little “BringBoomboom!” each time we scanned in.

It instantly triggered the parakeet reflex to mimic the sound. Now, there’s three white people and one native traveling together. Our Taiwanese friend was married to one of the white people so he was oathbound not to make her life harder.

But my betrothed and I were unable to resist cheerfully mimicking the machine every time we scanned, it was such a fun sound to make.

So our Taiwanese friend is walking the subway trailed by a parade of white people, two of whom are making idiots of themselves and drawing attention by mimicking the machine sounds. I think she experienced a level of embarrassment previously unknown to man to be babysitting us.

Then her husband made the sound too. I think she almost left us to fend for ourselves.

my favorite city and my favorite person @redutation

going to budapest would fix me.

If you want an excuse to post more food from your vacation I’ll grant that wish. Let me see the FOODSGOODS 🍔🌮🍕🍟

An anon after my heart 😂❤️ Sure! I’ll post some more shared between my wife and I below

I promise we had salad too and of course more desserts, but alas it was a 7-night voyage and I can only post 10 photos 😂

Once again thinking about that time I went to the Georgia Aquarium

i. i just realised something about the kiss.

the way when aziraphale puts both of his hands on crowley's back, you can see them kinda shift so aziraphale isn't leaning. he held onto crowley for stability, and leaned in. pushed closer to him. he leaned forward. anyone ever says he didn't want the kiss im going to hunt you down because HE HELD CLOSE!!! HE KISSED BACK!!!!

EDIT: also im like WELL aware he kissed back i was even when i first watched it like its not a big revelation, its just that SOME people☠️ on TIKTOK☠️ KEEP SAYING HE WAS DISGUSTED BY THE KISS???? like i swear some people are watching a different show entirely

Crying because I didn't realize mi familia was in another part of the country

spiraling again yippee

To me, growing up is the slow shift of the question "what do you want to be when you grow up?" to "what are you going to do in life?" to "what subjects/majors are you picking?"

And fuck, if only i could have the chance to go back to when i was a kid playing with my friends pretending we were firemen and whatnots.

pathologic but it's a lost 1920s german expressionist film [id under cut]

[id:

image 1: a digital drawing of a fake poster, using bright colours and rough, painterly brushstrokes. the title, 'pest' (german for 'plague'), is written at the top in spiky black text. in the foreground a man dressed as a tragedian is staring intently at the viewer, his hands raised and splayed as if in horror. in the background, the town is framed against a red sky, with the polyhedron in yellow behind.

images 2 and 3: fake casting sheets for the film, with the names of the actors and the characters they are playing above a black-and-white portrait photograph of them. all the text is in german. in english it reads: 'Pest', a film by Robert Wiene Alfred Abel as Victor Kain Ernst Busch as Grief Lil Dagover as Katerina Saburova Ernst Deutsch as the Bachelor Carl de Vogt as Vlad the Younger Marlene Dietrich as the Inquisitor Willy Fritsch as Mark Immortell Alexander Granach as Andrey and Peter Stamatin Bernhard Goetzke as General Block Dolly Haas as the Changeling Ludwig Hartau as the Haruspex Brigitte Helm as Anna Angel Brigitte Horney as Maria Kaina Emil Jannings as Big Vlad Gerda Maurus as Yulia Lyuricheva Lothar Menhert as Georgiy Kain Asta Nielsen as Lara Ravel Ossi Oswalda as Eva Yan Fritz Rasp as Stanislas Rubin Conrad Veidt as Alexander Saburov and Tragedian Paul Wegener as Oyun Gertrud Welcker as Aspity

image 4: four digital sketches of set designs for various locations. all are strongly influenced by expressionist imagery, using extreme angles, warped perspective, and dramatic shapes. they are labelled 'street 1' (a street lined with houses), 'street 2' (a square with a lamppost and a set of steps), 'polyhedron exterior' (the polyhedron walkway), and 'cathedral interior' (the dais at the far end of the cathedral).

image 5: four digital drawings in a black-and-white watercolour style, showing fake stills from the film. all are similarly distorted and lit by dramatic lighting. the first shows katerina's bedroom, with katerina standing in the centre of the floor. the second shows the interior of an infected house. the third shows daniil staring out of the frame in horror, one hand on his head and the other raised as if to ward something off. the fourth shows an intertitle with jagged white text reading 'the first day' against a dark background.
