what were a few other url ideas you had?
at first i was thinking of something from the song day after day because i always think "that's me about all of my band boys"
I REMEMBER FIIIINDING OUT ABOUT YOUUUUU
EVERY DAY MY MIND IS ALL AROUND YOUUUUU
LOOKING OUT OF MY LONELY GLOOM(and/or "looking out from my lonely room")
DAAAAY AFTER DAAAYYY
BRING IT HOME BABY MAKE IT SOOOON
I GIVE MY LOVE TO YOUUUUUUUUU
but of course just 'dayafterday' was taken, and day-after-day etc. which isn't that surprising because it's a common thing to say. i wanted a shorter url like that but it's not easy to find one that isn't taken. then "looking out of my lonely gloom" would be the blog name.
i was thinking of using "mymindisallaroundyou" for the url instead or with dashes but decided against it
another one i almost picked was from maybe tomorrow where tom sings "let the light of your love shine through the window of my heart" so my url would have been "letthelightofyourlove" or "let-the-light-of-your-love" and then my blog name would be "shine through the window of my heart". i just really love that line and still applies to my band boys.
i was also thinking of the line from shine on where pete sings "don't think of tomorrow, yesterday is past" because sometimes i get a little too caught up in the past and i think it would be a good reminder to not do that so much.
AND there was a part from tom's demo, love my lady(about his wife which is super cute), where he says "like a sunshine on a rainbow" which would be the url and then the next line i was gonna change for tumblr reasons, he says "black nights, broken ways, got your bed to sleep on" where i would have put "got my blog to post on" at the end instead. my boys are the sunshine on a rainbow
i also considered using "knock down the old grey wall" from no matter what because i love that line and, for me, it would mean like my walls of anxiety in my head that need to be knocked down, and then the blog name would be "be a part of it all" because i want to be a part of things more instead of just hiding from everything all the time.
and and and i was thinking of the start of "i'm in love" where he says "i'm not well can't you tell" but i feel like "i'm not well" in all url variations would most likely be taken so i'd have to include both of those into the url, hope that's not taken too, and then i'd have nothing that i would want for the blog name to go with that.
i was trying to make one from pete's demo ostrich because sometimes i feel like the ostrich in that scenario, but it wasn't working for me.
SO i was stuck between a lot of these and still listening to more songs trying to come up with any different ones that would apply to me without it just being like "i don't relate to this but i like the song" because there are too many of those
i told myself that if i don't choose one by new years day, i'll just pick one that i already had in mind that stands out to me/relates to me the most in the moment and go with it. so i chose this one from name of the game.
it's a good song by the way and i think everybody should go listen to it right now and for the rest of your lives forever

this is going to sound simplistic + i promise you it's not: stop following people whose entire schtick is being cruel or fighting with others online. even if the ppl deserve it! even if it's not a ~problematic~ cruelty! even if you agree with all of that blog's opinions!
it's one thing if someone snaps back when provoked or posts the occasional "get a load of this guy". nobody needs to play up respectability for people who haven't given them respect in return. but if someone's online identity centers around being needlessly mean for laughs + they're constantly seeking out socially acceptable, easy targets for petty cruelty, that's a red flag. there's a huge difference between not taking shit/cracking a joke + mocking others as your several-hours-a-day hobby.
especially if, when they are inevitably in the wrong + mocking someone mercilessly to their 50k followers over something petty goes south (shocking!), they become extremely defensive or block everyone or play the victim or dismiss it as "well, how was i supposed to know they were autistic? i'm autistic + i don't meow in public" or whatever.
this isn't a "well i knew all along" post bcuz nobody should be shamed for being in the dark about something like this but many of the popular bloggers who have later been exposed for serious harassment or abuse should not have shocked us. if someone's blog is 90% shit like "you should light yourself on fire because you watch x anime" or "look at this so-called lesbian bitch + her ugly fucking boyfriend at a kink convention- it's giving drowned rats", should it really shock you that they are also being cruel or abusive in less internet-acceptable ways? if they've already shown you that they get a such a thrill out of being vicious that they do it daily + are regularly rewarded with thousands of followers?

i am thinking how much poorer, how much less colorful the world would be if art was only made by "professionals." if all the music, all the stories, all the sketches & paintings & craftwork of the world was created only by the small category of people able to make a decent living from their art. imagine if the only people allowed to create were the experts & the renowned & those aspiring to the top. what a grey world that would be. how much joy would be bleached away! i love you people who create for the sake of creating, i love you artists who do art for tiny audiences, i love you people who make things even just for one person, even just for themselves, even if no one's watching, thank you thank you thank you for decorating the world in which we all exist

thinking about how i've always believed eddie was lying in 6x12 when he told buck he couldn't remember the shooting because if he really admitted what he remembered out loud it would reveal far too much. and how now that's almost feasible as an excuse if it ever gets brought up again because, like everyone's been saying, how could eddie have talked about it in a way that wouldn't make it sound like more???? how could he talk about the fact that buck was the last thing he saw before he lost consciousness and how he suddenly understood what carla meant when she told him to follow his heart????? during the cemetery talk in 6x15 he tells buck experiences like that change you with the most inscrutable expression on his face and i am once again asking, eddie diaz what changed in you??!?!?!??

Always loved how shadow in heroes is just basically a new born baby, learning new things since he lost all his memories, so he's just going along with rouge's sudden aggression against the chaotix for supposedly being a threat to her getting eggman's treasure like she's a learning example like.
"you guys don't fool me!!"
"no no u don't fool her."
"I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE AFTER, BETTER STAY OUT OF MY WAY!"
"yes yes stay of her way."
