It’s nice to that The Sun and Moon Show has some cis representation with Moon. I mean, he’s the only one in the entire cast, but it’s still nice
#SUN IS TRANS DAVIS TOLD ME IRL/j#But like CANONICALLY SPEAKING#Lunar goes by he/they#Earth goes by she/they#Monty is genderfluid#I saw a post talking about how Eclipse could be a trans metaphor (but I would like to add that this could specifically be the#“Trans egg who’s trapped by internalized transphobia” experience)#Bloodmoon is just the “Numerous Bees” meme#and the nano-machines add to the trans vibes#And KC’s arc could hit with some trans peeps#Gemini was probably using gendered pronouns to “make things easier for Earthings”#AND EVEN IF SUN IS JUST A FEMBOY ITS STILL A LITTLE FRUITY#BUT TRANSFEM SUN WHO DOESNT WANT TO COME OUT OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE IT BECAUSE SHE NEVER GOT THE COURAGE TO TELL OLD MOON AND NEVER WILL#GOOD SHIT#sun and moon show#sams#the sun and moon show#tsams

hi! your blog is one of my favourites and i absolutely adore reading your thoughts. my grandfather recently passed away and it feels like i lost myself with him. how do i continue living after this? there is this constant weight on my chest and it feels like an emptiness has made a home inside of me. how do i go on when it feels like the world crashed on my shoulders?
hello, love! this is so very sweet and kind of you, and i hope you're treating yourself gently and kindly right now - there aren't words for a loss like this. that heaviness is difficult, and hard, and painful. it's okay if things don't feel okay, right now, or even soon - i think that's something that a lot of the people i know that have gone through similar grief feel: like they should be able to get back to a relative 'normal' in a [insert far too short period of time].
but it's okay if it hurts. that's where i'd like to start. you're allowed to feel that emptiness, that world-crashed feeling that goes beyond words, beyond time. don't feel like you have to rush this to feel some sort of better. things get easier with time, i promise you this, but sometimes painful feelings are important to feel, too. cry, scream, feel your emotions. they're a part of you. grieve.
it's perhaps a little silly, but when i think about death i always think about a couple of space songs: mainly drops of jupiter by train and saturn by sleeping at last. there are perhaps others that speak to the emotions better, but these two have always hit something a little deeper for me, and are popular for a wide-reaching reason.
and while personally i don't know much about grief like this, i do know a lot about love; and i think they're a lot of the same thing.
the people we love are a part of us, and this is why it takes from us so deeply when we lose them, because it does feel like we've lost a part of ourselves in the wake of it. but it's because they were so central to our experiences of living - our lives, that the separation introduces a hollowness - a place where they used to be. a home that now goes unlived in.
an emptiness, like you said.
but just because they're not here physically, doesn't mean he's not still there, in your heart, in your life, your memory. you can hold him close in smaller ways, as well: steal a sweater, or cologne/scent for something a little more physical and long lasting for remembering. hold onto the memories you cherish, the things that made you laugh, the ease of slow mornings and gentle nights. write them all down, slide a few photographs in there, go through it and add more when you miss him. keep them all close, keep them in your heart.
you're not alone, in this. he's still there, with you, it's just - in the little things.
he's with you in the way you see and go about your daily life, in doing what he liked to do, in the ways he interacted with the world that you shared with him. the memories you recall fondly when the night is late or the moment is right and something calls it into you like a melody, an old bell, laughter you'd recognize anywhere.
but i think, perhaps most importantly above all others - talk about him. with your family, your friends, his friends, strangers; stories are how we keep the people we love alive. the connections they've made, the legacies and experiences they've left behind, and so, so many stories.
how lucky, we are - to love so much it takes a piece of us when they go. grief is the other side of the coin, but it does not mean our love goes away. it lives in you. it lives in everyone who knew him, in the smallest pieces of our lives.
the people we love never really leave us, like this: they're in how we cook and the way we fold our newspapers, our laundry, in the radio stations we tune in to and the way we decorate our walls, our photo albums. they're in the way we store our mail, organize our closets, the scribbled notes in the indexes of our books. the meals we love and the drinks we mix, the way we spend time with one another. they've been passed down for generations, for longer than history - and we are all the luckier for it.
think about what you shared with him, and do it intentionally. bring him into your life, like this, again. whether it's crosswords or poetry or sports or anything else. if one doesn't help, try another. something might click.
i hope things feel a little easier for you, as they tend to do only with time. i hope you find joy in your grief, even if it is small and hard to grasp at first. know that your hurt stems from so much love that there isn't a place to put it properly, and that it is something so meaningful and hurting poets and storytellers have been struggling to put it into words and sounds that feel like the fit right for eons, and that it is also just simply yours. sometimes things don't have to make sense. sometimes they just are - unable to be put into words or neat little sentiments, as unfair and tragic as they come.
but i promise it will not feel like this forever. your love is real. and perhaps, on where to begin on from here - i think it's less on finding where to begin and just beginning. and you've already started. you've taken the most important and crucial step: the first one.
wherever you go, after that, from here? you'll figure it out. you always have, and you always do. it'll come, as things always do. love leads us, as does light - and you're never alone in your hurt. in your grief, your missing something dear to you. i think if you talk about it with others, you'll find they have ways of helping you cope as well - and they have so much love of their own to spare, too.
as an aside, here is the song (northern star by dom fera) i was listening to when i wrote this, for no other reason more than it makes me think of connections, and love, and how we hold onto the people we love and how they change us, wonderfully and intrinsically. it's a little more joyous than the others i've mentioned, and plays like a story, and it made me think of what is at the core of this, love and stories and i am here with you, and maybe it'll bring you some joy, if you'd like it. wishing you all my love and ease 💛
#q&a.#birdsong.#wishing u gentle ease; the death of a loved one is near inexplicable to put into words and i hope you take care of yourself gently <3#i hope this will make u laugh: when i was a tiny child in middle school there were times i would go outside in my tiny suburban cul de sac-#in the rain and sing along to my lil ipod nano and i only remember doing this to drops of jupiter. can you imagine going out to get the mai#after a long day of work and you just hear this kid singing train in the streets. in the RAIN.... it makes me laugh like i really.#i really thought i was so cool and deep and emotional ghjkd but i find it v funny that i only remember it w/ that one train track.#and saturn just. it's my fav s.a.l. song for a reason. that slow violin opening? the piano coming in gentle and easy?#it feels like light. like hope. like something new - a dawn after the long dark. that beautiful things can begin again even where#it hurts. and there is nothing more human than a sentiment like that.#how rare and beautiful it is to truly exist. what it is to be alive and get to be here and live with other people. with those we love.#i think your grandfather was so lucky to be able to know you. to have you in his life for the time you had together.#i'm no spiritual person; but i like to believe when you're thinking about him? he's thinking about you too.#the second law of thermodynamics (physics nerd mode) is that no energy has ever been created/destroyed since the beginning of the universe.#so it has to go somewhere - it's that carl sagan quote of 'we're all made of stardust'. because we are. we used to be stars; planets; etc.#i think it's why i think of these space songs - because they're a part of everything; once more; when they go. us and everything else.

#if i had a nickel for every time nano drank out of a trophy id have two nickels. that's not a lot but its weird it happened twice#dont ask me if theres more i didnt have the mental capacity to look up all his podium pics...theres 20 years worth#but if you do have more somehow miraculousy do of course hit me up#this is one of these things i think that youd have to experience by watching a lot of races bcs finding it by keywords is impossible imo#though i did look up various trophies and now i want to make a tier list of trophies by drinkablity 😭#but yeah some people in the tags of the pics i posted were like 'he did exactly what i wanted to do![drink from the big cup basically]'#so this is like: hey! not the first time hes done it 🤭#but like if these are the only two times hes done it thats hilarious#bcs its been 18 yrs so was he suddenly like 'oh my god wait i just remembered what i can do with this'#but like the 2005 is the wcc win so it makes sense why he did smth so over the top#but this one i really really feel like he let the impulsive thoughts win and was just 'this looks like a giant cup....'#not pictured: flavio also drinking from the trophy. he was so indulgent of his boy 🥹#also i wonder if theres footage of him pouring in the champagne in 2023 cause i didnt even know he drank from it until i was looking at pic#cause thats my fav thing about the 2005 one is watching him trying to aim and pour it from way too high hahaha#oh also there is the brazil 2005 gp as well but he doesnt directly drink from it so i dont think it fits well here#but at the same time he really is looking at trophies like 'hmmm how well would this work as a cup'#f1#formula 1#fernando alonso#2023 dutch gp#2005 chinese gp#fa14#we do a little bit of f1#formula one

So I've dusted off my Nanowrimo account from a few years ago to see if the schedule can help train my brain out of the brain fog again! I'm mostly just going to be using it for TRT stuff, or one-shots on days I'm not working on TRT. I'm a visual person so I like seeing my lil wordcount goals met every day.
Point is, if you're Nano-ing this year and wanna be writing buddies, hit me up!
#nanowrimo#i've had success before getting back into the groove with nano#the lil chart thingy is always nice#so let's see if it helps this year#for me the question of whether i succeed this year is less than the question of whether it helps my brain remember#just how much we LOVE doing this#and also HOW to do it#i'm still kinda pasting new techniques together around the covid brain fog and heart issues#and I've loved doing nano in the past so that's also a win

crumbs of a story im writing
clumsy rookie news photographer chasing after a gentleman thief to start an advice column ^_^
the thiefs legit job as a librarian doesnt pay enough to cover his rent (not enough public funding?), so he steals from rich politicians.
he kind of sees it as "hitting two birds with one stone," since the politicans are more interested in infrastructure than public funding anyway, and they have more than enough money so he doesn't feel bad doing it
since its done out of necessity, the thief is extremely meticulous and plans out his thefts. but hes also a theatre kid, so he makes a costume and more or less garners the attention of the community
the rookie is a newspaper photographer who has been following the thief for some time and has grown to admire him
the newspaper he works for is community oriented (organizing events and programs, advocating for the public) and believes the thief shares similar values
basically he proposes to start an advice column with the thief to build a rapport with the community, with the goal of winning over the public
the thief is hesitant because he's really only doing it for himself and doesnt want to get anyone else involved, but the rookie tells him to think of it as a way of helping everyone
the rest is kinda fuzzy.. i wanted to touch on community effort and public interests. I don't know if this will be the kind of story that encourages people to take action, I don't see myself as being any kind of model citizen. for now I'm just focused on pouring all my thoughts and faith in humanity into a story setting
#and im thinking of adding this to my omnibus.. so maybe it also takes place in the same setting as House Of Cards#idk WHY im putting all my stories in an omnibus.. i think its because it feels like a nichijou situation to me lol#with all sorts of wacky stuff happening in a seemingly ordinary setting? and i dont wanna explain anything like why they have#animal ears or why some look like crocodiles in suits. its just like that for fun. like how Nano is a robot built by a 6 year old#i dont have a lot of confidence writing stories with broad themes especially ones that overlap with social justice. i prefer to sit and#listen..?? but also im in the toronto area and im so fucking frustrated with how the city council handles everything#not to mention doug ford especially with the ontario place thing and trying to lead everything into private healthcare#so this is more of a personal story for myself than anything. i just wanna make something so i can look at it like yeah its a pipe#dream but its MY pipe dream. with CATBOYS#yapping#writing#oc#my ocs#oc lore

Truly James Marsden was made for the role of Prince Edward in the masterpiece of film that is Enchanted (2007). Casting director said “We want you pretty and we want you stupid.” and he went “Say no more.”

Lil' Update
You won't see much of me in November, and December more than likely. I'm reverting to my hiatus/semi-hiatus status, so... my activity will be greatly reduced. This means I'll reblog/be on here sporadically and randomly, and... ayyy, I actually don't like this decision, but this also means I'll cut down on the amount of tags I usually write. That absolutely doesn't mean I don't adore you guys' work or aren't in complete awe (seriously, you guys rock and are fantastically talented and I'm so happy to read so many heartfelt stories), but... it's just something I gotta do. I have a bit too much to juggle... and okay, lmao, half of it has to do with the fact that I basically never wanna go a long period without writing ever again, seriously, it's the one thing keeping my sanity in check🤣🙇♀️
Thaaaat said, all the cheers to everyone participating in NaNo and equally as much to those just doing their own thing! Let's all kick some ass💪❤ (and meet again in good health, seriously and please thank fuck)
#nano or not i hope everyone is excited for november#no matter how little writing is writing even when it's just in the thinking stage and honestly#would we have been writers if it wasn't one of the happiest feelings in the world?🥺😭💞#i'm not quiteeeee participating in nano but that's bc the amount i still have left likely won't reach 50k#but like i outed myself lol i'll also be writing along<3 nano just got me emotional bc that's when i started aberration of sunlight#hiatus

Lynn Fainchtein, the og Elite’s music supervisor, passed away this month at only 61. She was great at what she did, so let’s remember some of Elite’s best music moments.
List your favorite or top three, top five, whatever, Elite music moments and if you know anyone who still remembers this show fondly (anyone…?), tag them so they can do it too. Thank you for the music, Lynn ❤️
3. I hear the day has come – Matt Maltese. It first plays over Marina‘s death scene in the season one finale when Nano comes to find her in the pool, and she collapses in his arms. As if that wasn’t sad enough, it’s repeated in season two, when Nano feels he has lost everything and is crumbling the picture of him and his family before he leaves town in the pouring rain. The parallels!
2. Hey Moon - John Maus. Lu and Val and their 🔥🔥🔥 chemistry coming back from the party in the season two premiere, ending the night on the pool table. Need I say more (I need not). Both Danna and Jorge said that this was their favorite scene filmed before season three. 
1. Los dias raros - Vetusta Morla. The montage at the end of 2x07. My favorite Elite musical moment, no contest, and potentially my favorite moment in the show period. Yes, it has Lu finally giving in to Val after she has basically burned everything to the ground with her speech at the fake charity gala. But there is so much more in this scene, too, so many emotions. If nothing in this montage touched you, are you even alive? 
I tag @carlotocotta @dhyanshiva @snappy-bambi @narcobarbies @sizzy-ling @myladyofmercy @ivanpellicer Anyone who’s watched Elite! Doesn’t have to be songs from the first 3 seasons.
#no need to go into this much detail lol i just don’t know how to shut up#elite#rip lynn fainchtein#there seriously is so much good music in this show#elite netflix#playlists#Spotify#music#tag games#lu x valerio#nano x marina#lucrecia montesinos#valerio montesinos#nano garcia#marina nunier

for the spotify thing 40 and. would you be mad at me if I said zexion again
you can do whatever u want forever!!
—and i can see myself reflected in your eyes
[ID: a digital drawing of a stylized green eye, reflecting zexion, from kingdom hearts. the image has a blue tint and is lightly rendered. the eye stands in the middle of the image, showing skin and a grey eyebrow where the background isn't transparent, cut off in angular sections around the eye. In the middle of the pupilless eye, is zexion, looking back over his shoulder, with one hand against a wall. a diagonal highlight falls over some of his disheveled hair, face and shoulder, where the lineart is a light purple. his mouth is slightly open, expression lightly upset. his hair is mostly away from his face and the eye that doesn't have light falling over it has a white pupil. /End ID.]
#apologies in advance i put him through the horrors 😔#firestorm09890#this isn't how eye reflections work but it was a hell of a choice!! and it was vry fun to make#tysm for the ask!!#i wanted to do 'and i can barely tell the sky from the shoreline' originally but i felt it would've ended up being The Same#as the prev zexion ask... then i thought maybe smth with 'tell me everything is how it should be' w/any of his RG#caregivers? that was short lived because i was like!! NANO. CHARACTER FOCUSED. then the reflection bit came up#and i was like Oh No....... SO as i went through it i#worried it would be seen more a replica thing than a zexion thing so while i moved stuff around#i thought. u can't /really/ do kh ignoring connections as THE structural part of the series...#so i stopped fretting as much and just had fun! :]#this is a very fitting song for him methinks#nano does reqs#described#my doods#zexion kh#i accept criticism for the ID in this one btw it was. hard to do?? hopefully i did it okay :)

#sketchbook#eye strain#body horror#flux buddies#nanosounds#terasounds#eyebleed art AND its about my own personal canon that nobody knows fuck all about! a classic fluxedbuds post#the short version of the nonsense behind this is: what if our nano was just a construct modeled after the 'real' nano who is Mother#and who intends to use our nano as a vessel to return to the physical world#alt title: you know how it is with families!
