my games of the year!!

hey yall!! with the year coming to a close i wanted to list my top 5 favorite games that i played this year!

5. honkai star rail - i was really conflicted abt putting a gacha game on here, especially since i don't even play it much anymore but tbh the belobog arc was just too good not to put it here. maybe the next planet will bring me back in but i didn't really like the luofu at all. but the time i spent on the herta space center and belobog were so enjoyable that i rlly feel like it deserves this spot.

4. octopath traveler 2 - this came out this year?? jfc this has been a long year. but yeah this game is really good!! i would absolutely die for agnea. i feel like in just about every area this game was a huge step up from octopath 1, i found every character really enjoyable and i genuinely cried multiple times during castti's story (malaya.... she loved her) and in general just loved nearly every story, and the endgame and how the characters from each route tied in was so cool. i think there's still some qol needed in certain areas and that's why this is only fourth but overall very good game i recommend. also ochette is super fun to play, love beastmaster classes sm

3. fire emblem engage - sort of the opposite of octopath honestly, the story was pretty awful in this game and the characters were all very one note but the game is just so gorgeous to look at and so so much fun. what can i say, i like fire emblem dfkdfskdkdsf and while the characters and story are completely camp i found it charming in it's simplicity at times, lapis and citrinne especially were really endearing characters to me. this certainly isn't my favorite fe game bc i admittedly prefer story/character heavy ones like 3h but i still found it to be a really enjoyable experience with lots of fun customization! i hope they take a lot of what was in engage and put that into future games bc i rlly need more fe games where everyone has cute casual outfits like that and you can dress everyone up all silly. this game is just pure silly fun.

2. cassette beasts - so this one took me by surprise. this game is an absolute GEM and if you like pokemon at all you seriously owe yourself to play this!! it takes everything i love about pokemon and just brings it to a whole new level. the story, the characters, even the designs for the beasts are all so peak. the way types interact with each other is so fun and something i've never seen before in this genre. this is the type of game i absolutely see myself replaying every year just to try out new beasts and the randomizer mode and stuff!! ALSO THE WAY YOU CAN REMOVE THE MOVES AND PUT THEM ON OTHER BEASTS?? god. this game is everything i WISH pokemon was, and if it were any other year it probably would have been my goty. but..

baldur's gate 3 - yeah. i mean, do i even need to say anything on this one?? a strong demon lady held me in her strong arms and kissed me. we ate spaghetti together. we went to hell and fought demons together. this game is a lesbian love story and i- oh wait i probably shouldn't just talk about karlach for this whole section lol. really though, bg3 is just one of those games that hits different, there is SO much to do in this game and not a single moment of it isn't filled with fun. exploring the world was so fun, whenever i discovered secrets and stuff it felt amazing, there's just such a wonderful feeling of mystery in this world. there's so many ways every interaction can go, the story is amazing, the characters are amazing, the multiplayer is amazing. this whole game just fucks hard, and i think it's not only my game of the year but possibly my game of the decade. i think if this game's mod support gets better then we could be looking at a stardew valley situation where fans keep the game alive FOREVER by adding all sorts of cool stuff over the years. i can't wait to see what gets added as time goes on! anyways back to karlach so yeah i wanna cuddle with her and go on a pizza date and be pinned against the

#goty #not gonna tag each one tbh

There's lots of reasons I think IVF is unethical.

1. If it's a woman with her partner than it's likely because the male has a low sperm count or some shit and like... That likely means the baby is more likely to have genetic disorders and etc. Like if he has unhealthy sperm don't use them??? Whether it's because the scrote is old, jerks off to porn, etc. Just. Don't. If the women has fertility problems my worry is for both her and the child. Especially if it's something that'll make it more likely for her to die in childbirth. Like it’s really messed up to think it's worth it if the reason you can't get pregnant is because your body does it to prevent injury/death.

2. If it's from a sperm bank or whatever:

a. The child could have who knows how many half siblings. What if they meet one and fall in love? What if they want to meet said half siblings?

b. Similarly, what if they want to meet their bio father? Messy.

c. The men in charge lie. A lot. The number of cases with the male doctors using their own sperm is fucked up and also leads to the problems in a and b.

d. The whole thing where you choose a male's sperm based on pics of various guys is... weird. Iirc it also leads to certain demographics of men having pricier sperm because they get chosen more. Once again leads to problems like in a. Also gets worse if you consider that there's likely a minority who use this as some sort of fetish like getting 'cute mixed babies' and designer babies and etc.

3. If it's from a guy you know:

a. What if he suddenly decides he wants to be involved. It gets trickier legally because he is the bio father.

b. What if the child wants to meet him or wants to be involved in his life but he doesn't?

c. If he has kids with a partner do you treat them as half siblings or what? Like obviously you need them to know they're related but aside from that?

4. Just selfish to want bio kids that bad imo. IVF can take multiple tries, years, and thousands to tens of thousands of dollars to be successful.

5. Stimulating the ovaries to release multiple eggs is... not healthy. There isn't much research on its effects and I feel as if it's just another way to fail women. Also just all the procedures, especially if doing multiple rounds of IVF, cannot be good for the women.

6. A women is a lot more likely to get multiples instead of one baby. Yes anyone can have twins or triplets but IVF makes it way more likely. That's so much more taxing. Also might be more likely to have premature birth.

Obviously the parts about meeting parents and siblings is also present in adoption or fostering but I feel as if it gets even more messy if you bring IVF into the equation. This is also all I can remember off of the top of my head. There's more, and all of it put more eloquently with proper sources by other people.

yeah the main reasons im iffy on every having IVF for myself or my partner is bc of 2b and 3a, i wouldnt know how to deal with it honestly and i cant imagine wanting bio kids enough that id be willing to risk that. this is why adoption >>>>>

but thank u for sharing these! theyre definitely tricky situations to overcome for people who go thru the IVF route

#idk about the truth to some of the points u made but its worth sharing anyways #if some1 knows more n wants to debunk they can feel free

Can you please validate me resting? I've had to skip so many uni classes recently and I'm going to have to skip a pre-exam test thing that's in a couple days because there's no way in anywhere that I'll manage to learn all of Shakespeare in my current state by then, which kinda stresses me out more the closer the test gets. I've had to rest more often and for longer periods of time the past few months/years (idk time), and it's rly working! I can create again and i can keep myself, most of the time, at a 'were ok' level, which is a big improvement, but sometimes it just hits me that I'm in uni I love and that im supposed to attend classes regularly so I don't fall behind, which anxiety and adhd make so easy, and that I'm not doing any work like the rest of my classmates, and I think rn it would be a huge help to have someone else validate me doing the right thing (resting), and im terrified of texting my friends abt this bcs theres such a social stigma around it and it would break my heart if they went the 'yeah sure but you have to work yknow, make urself' route, and opening up is so tough. Anyway, hope this is in any way coherent and that you're having a good day! Ill go do some Little Tasks to calm down haha -D

It's so very okay to rest, and honestly super important. Once you're completely burnt out, it's very hard to come back from that space.

I rested a lot during my education. It took me 4 years to finish my master's rather than two years. I had to take a half a year break once, I had to push some classes to a later semester. And during my thesis, I got so stressed and ill that I had to take a whole year off, before I could return and finish my studies.

And you know what? That's ok. I'm here now.

Life is not a race, and there's no "end goal" when you will stop running.

It's important to take time to prioritize being okay in the moment, bc that's where you live!! No one knows the future, but you know that you need to function right now, and that has to be a priority along with any future plans.

I hope your friends will be understanding, bc you know your own limits best, and it's so important for you to respect those limits and take care of yourself.

Best of luck!

if you don't mind me asking, what aspects of s2 did you dislike? bc for me, although i liked it a lot better than s1 (mainly for the increased focus on sibling dynamic scenes). i also kind of realized that it had kind of a Lot going on, that although i appreciated, didn't get enough equal attention? idk

i agree that the dynamic scenes this season were pretty great. we got some great interactions between characters that didn’t have much last season (personal fave being klaus/allison/vanya and every individual combo in that trio).

i personally love reading other peoples’ opinions on shows/movies, even if they don’t match my own, because a lot of the time they open my eyes to some stuff i haven’t seen, and i love to see work affecting others the same way it does me, even if it has a different outcome.

so, i know i said i wouldn’t, but since you asked, under the cut i’m going list out some of the stuff i wasn’t a huge fan of, and some of the stuff i really liked.

(edit warning: this shit is LONG. but please don’t take this as me absolutely hating the season - I didn’t. there was some genuinely enjoyable stuff. but, in my opinion, it didn’t have the spark and intent that s1 did. it wasn’t the caliber of the season i fell in love with. i think it’s still rewatchable though, unlike a certain godawful season of a certain hit netflix show...... coughstrangerthings3cough)

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE

1. not enough characterization/development in most of the characters (this will be the longest point, so I’ll get it out of the way first) - for one, the siblings - save maybe vanya & allison - really... did not develop much this season, and weren’t explored as heavily as in the first season. hell, even in vanya and allison’s cases, i still think s1 did a better job at delving into their characters and psyche, even though they still had a bit of it in s2. but especially in the other siblings cases, i feel like SO MUCH of this season leaned into trivial things the fans liked, that it either (at least) took time away from or (at worst) was an active detriment to the characters’ development and plots. they said oh you like banter? we’ll give you unnecessary arguing and jokes that go on for 20 minutes too long when we could be delving deeper into these interesting situations we saw on the surface. here’s some fart jokes and forgettable music when we could be seeing more of how these characters are coping with the literal end of the world/being sent back in time/facing the prospect of never seeing their families again.

in s1, we got luther’s immense internal struggles in living up to his “name” and only existing to please his father... diego finding his relationships through his jaded nature towards his siblings and himself, and grappling with feelings of inferiority... allison’s coping with the effects her powers have had on her life, and trying to become someone without rumoring everything into existence, which is a new feeling altogether that she isn’t quite sure how to cope with... klaus going through intense development as a simultaneously self-obsessed and self-destructive drug addict that gets thrown into a gruesome war for a year, only to watch the person he loves most die, grappling with his ptsd from war & his abusive childhood, and discovering new powers... five coming back home after decades of solitude and then being used as a weapon, trying to reestablish himself within the group while dealing with an eating feeling that he doesn’t belong in his body or in this group.... vanya, oh vanya, with her depression, anxiety, feelings of loneliness and betrayal, feeling invisible and utterly ordinary, gripping to whoever makes her feel special (and dealing with that fallout) before suddenly being slammed with unbelievably powerful abilities that she can’t control.

in s2... yes, we get lesbian!vanya who becomes truer to herself, and - through intense struggle - finds a way to harness her abilities so she isn’t so out of control and can finally feel extraordinary herself. but much of the latter was given up for a vast majority of the season bc she literally didn’t know who she was (there was a positive in that though, which i’ll list in my positives list), and so we lost a LOT of potential coping and learning time, which easily could have mingled with her sissy storyline! allison’s storyline i actually dug, i don’t have too much gripe with it except that i wish her throat injury didn’t just kind of magically heal, and they could’ve addressed it more. the end of ben’s story was interesting, but still lacked depth imo. as for the other siblings.... it all just felt like a TON of jokes that were funny at first, but quickly became stale and had me wishing they would take the story a bit deeper. that said, a lot of the gags, jokes, and quips were great, but they could’ve been incorporated WAY more intelligently, and allowed for characterization at the same time. loads and loads of banter, not being balanced with poignancy like s1 did very well.

we could have seen luther’s descent into the criminal underworld, and why he felt the draw and obligation to go that route. a more detailed look at klaus’ beginnings and relationship with the cult, his motivations (which s2 kept super shallow), more of diego’s life inside the asylum and even beforehand. but no, we got five and old five farting.

2. the music - man, the s1 soundtrack was iconic, was it not? effortlessly cool scene/music combos, countless iconic music moments, brilliantly and thoughtfully done. this season felt like they said “music? oh ok throw music EVERYWHERE” and it was just. not. good. instead of music that intertwined with each scene like it was a character itself, amplifying the tone and adding a new layer (like in s1), the music this season was mostly just distracting, forgettable, and felt like they were this close to just making a bunch of music videos. i even found myself hating a couple of their choices (the rest i just kinda... forgot). i did like the vanya/allison/klaus dance scene, but other than that.... eugh.

3. the handler - I HATE. HATE HATE HATE. when shows/movie franchises do shit like make a big deal of killing off a villain or lead and then just being like “hehe jk uwu” and bringing them back with some totally bs reason that they lived. a metal plate? really? and she magically awoke... how long after? not to mention how unbelievably lazy and lame it is. they could’ve done so much more with carmichael and the swedes, but they had to bring back... the villain we already had? don’t get me wrong, i LOVEEE kate walsh, but come on. it’s season 2. give us something fresh.

4. the swedes - in s1, cha cha and hazel had personalities, wants, desires that were all explored. we knew their motivations, their doubts, their fears. we liked to watch them. then the writers threw in the swedes... who were completely devoid of any and all characterization (they could’ve gone in my #1 point too heyo), personality, backstory, anything. it was so painful that when each one died, it was clear that we were supposed to feel something for the others, but did any of you really feel anything? no. because we didn’t know these characters at all. they were walking guns, pretty much. nothing substantial.

5. ben & klaus - being someone who loves these two characters so, so much (hellloooo, my old url?), this one breaks my heart. i was so unbelievably disappointed with them this season. all either of them were was horrible to the other. in klaus’ case, he just decided to keep ben’s presence a secret, not even telling the group ben loved them, or that he was there. he called him his ghost bitch, he used him as a personal pet, he lacked sympathy or compassion. we saw a glimmer of hope when he allowed ben to possess him, but that’s where ben’s issues start. seriously, possessing your brother past his breaking point, fighting him out of his own bodily autonomy, until he is in a state of complete exhaution? then saying he “regrets nothing”? and then the show playing it off as ~comedy~ bc that’s almost all they cared about this season... no... there was nothing in their relationship this season that compared to last’s. no moments of tough brotherly love, where ben tries to help klaus through his drug/alcohol desires or ptsd flashbacks, no moments of teamwork (besides the brief moments of consenting possession before that was ruined), no tender moments between brothers in general. all just REALLY FUCKING LOUD “comedy”, anger, resentment, bickering, and cruelty, all played for laughs. not about it son

6. “we’re not blood related!” - and, once again, getting played for laughs... for a show that became uncomfortably self-aware with trivial fan desires (but not the deeper stuff...), they sure do lack a lot of common sense of realizing what we don’t want

7. hazel (& agnes) - they went through the trouble of saving hazel and agnes just to have agnes die off-screen before the season started, and for hazel to die five minutes into his only appearance? lame. lame lame lame.

8. plot pace - i don’t really recall any moments in s1 that i thought “this scene doesn’t need to be here”, “this is moving so slowly”, or “this is being really rushed”. there was plenty of all three of those in s2. s1 was constant, everything was either towards the main goal or was filled with private and fascinating character moments. i love just watching characters live and do their thing if it’s done properly... but those scenes this season really weren’t very entertaining (save one or two), didn’t really seem to serve a purpose or hold weight, and didn’t give us any character insight.

9. klaus - the reason he’s listed specifically even after i mentioned him in the first point, was because of how personally saddened i was by his “arc”, if you could call it that. i know, him being my favorite (along with vanya) in s1 isn’t an original thought. but the writers, directors, and robert created a character so entertaining, charming, layered, and multi-faceted that it was hard not to fall in love with him. for all his goofiness, he then got a shit ton of characterization and development in the war, in dave, in his ptsd and discovering his power. his poignant moments were so powerful because of how different it was from his typical outward appearance. and fuck if he didn’t develop! this season, klaus felt... shallow. the cult stuff had no depth, no real reason to be there at all (the show really wouldn’t be much different without it, besides it being how five and allison found klaus), and it was kind of a throwaway point anyway, just another tool to get - shocker - more laughs. those touching, serious klaus scenes were completely absent in s2... he was just the ~quirky~ and/or ~high/drunk~ guy. there was literally no depth to his character at all this season. yeah, he crawled from behind the desk in e9.... and what else? nothing. robert did all he could this season, but something tells me even he was probably disappointed by just how one-dimensional klaus was. he was really no different at the end than he was at the beginning of the season, which is a no-no.

10. klave - this is kind of an expansion of #9, but i was so disappointed by it that it needed its own spot. the only stuff that was supposed to be serious in klaus’ story - the klaus/dave stuff - was really not good. the moment the shopkeeper said “david?” in the store, i literally gasped bc i was so excited... but that was the last of any excitement i felt for the two, which, if you know me, is BONKERS considering how much i adore s1 klave. but this new young actor had ZERO chemistry with robert (fuck if rob wasn’t trying, though. it looked painful for him, but this guy really was just not well casted) (cody and rob were phenomenal together and had a fraction of the screentime this new actor had), and klaus being 30 and this actor/character being a kid was just... weird to watch. plus... so many white actors look the same, they really couldn’t find someone who looked like cody ray thompson? c’mon now ...... also, was there any point to it? at all? dave just wound up going anyway and there was literally no differences made in that situation. i think the writers thought they were catering to the audience by adding dave, but you need actors with chemistry (cody! cody!!!) and a good plot to do so.

11. s1 fallout - there really was none. that’s it. you’d think there’d be more after the explosions in the relationships of these siblings, but everything was just kind of glossed over.

12. sparrow academy - mostly here because... does this mean 7 more characters? meaning MORE time taken away from our og siblings, who already (mostly) didn’t develop well this season? i’m not gonna lie, i’m worried/

WHAT I LIKED

1. the chestnuts - i absolutely loved ray, loved allison, and loved their and their group’s work this season. the issue of race is so important all the time, but in the 60′s the tensions were so high and it would’ve been a joke if the show hadn’t addressed it or just kind of went with little racist remarks. these two had some of the most touching scenes of the season, and the sit-in scenes/every police scene had me incredibly anxious. that was well done, imo. which is proof that they still know how to do a good storyline, which makes me even more upset that the show was overall lacking that this season. i’m also so glad they didn’t go the “oh sry ray i still love luther’ route bc i literally don’t know if i would’ve kept watching. ANYWAYS im gonna miss ray sm :(

2. vanya & sissy - lesbian!vanya is all i want and more. vanya/sissy was all i want and more. these two, much like the chestnuts, breathed so much life into an often-dull season. so in love!!! vanya connecting with harlan even in just the most human ways!!! sissy finally standing up to carl (and carl d*ing god bless).... little found family oh my GOD!!! super devastated that sissy didn’t come back to the future with vanya, but because of harlan’s ending, something tells me we haven’t seen the last of them. oh and i am so conflicted about vanya’s amnesia, bc while i think so much more development could’ve happened without it, i also don’t think a lot of what happened with her and sissy could have happened, at least as quickly, if vanya was bogged down by guilt, anger, and lingering feelings of self-hatred and anxiety.

3. sibling dynamics - okay, this one is a contradiction, kinda sorta. i know i said the ben/klaus relationship was horrid. and i didn’t dig absolutely everything with all the siblings.... but they had some REALLY strong stuff this season. i know i’ve already mentioned it multiple times, but vanya/allison/klaus was everything to me this season. i knew i wanted klaus/vanya stuff happening, but adding allison to the mix gave it a whole new layer and they all just worked SO. DAMN. WELL. i just kind of wish it was vanya with her memories getting that bonding time, because i feel like the trio really could’ve gone in with how they all related to each other, their struggles, etc. but still, just some Happy Time was much appreciated. in addition to them, i really did dig a lot of almost every sibling dynamic this season. not every relationship got the attention it deserved, but it wasn’t too bad, it would be really hard to get all of that into 10 eps. plus, the fact that almost all of them grew so much closer was everyyyything. it’s odd, because good dynamics usually come with good development but uh..... nvm im keepin this section positive

4. the humor - another kind of contradiction, maybe. for some of the humor, i thought it went too long, was extremely heavy-handed, often took away from the plot, and some of it even degraded certain characters and situations (see examples throughout my points above). however, the stuff that didn’t fall into these categories was so, so good. some favorites: olga foroga, “think of batman, then aim lower”, “you look like antonio banderas with that hair” “thanks man”, i’m t h e d a d d y h e r e, “not everyone here likes you” “sounds ridiculous but go on”, klaus’ little pop culture quips to his cult, “being smart doesn’t make you interesting” “neither does that beard”, klaus calling ben to manifest and ben being like ”...nah”... there are plenty more, but these were the first i could think of in 60 seconds off the top of my head. some of it really was laugh out loud funny, which can be hard to do, especially consistently. if only they didn’t lean into it so damn hard, and put in WAY too much heavy-handed humor that it dampened the experience

5. old five - although i don’t love all of the stuff in the five/old five scenes, old five’s actor was fantastic! he got aidan’s mannerisms down really, really well. it’s always cool to see actors do that kind of thing when they play a character at a different age, or a character’s sibling, etc.

6. time period bigotry - i’m really, really glad they didn’t gloss over the intense racism and homophobia of the era. it was mostly brought up with allison, vanya, and klaus, and all three actors did a great job in their respective roles when expressing their reactions to the hatred. the scenes were really hard to watch, but well done.

7. pogo/grace/reggie - don’t get me wrong, i still hate reggie with a burning passion. but i actually found his scenes with these two really interesting, and it gave us great insight as to why pogo was always so loyal to reggie, and how grace was more than just a face on a robot to hargreeves. (which actually makes lack of development in our mains even more infuriating... they clearly knew to put some in there, where is it for the rest of the sibs who got nothing this season!!!)

alright, i’m gonna stop here. i’m sure i can think of more for each section, but i’ve been thinking this out and typing for an hour (holy shit) and it’s 2am and i need sleep xoxo

#anon #ask #tua2 #this is the most i've really sat and analyzed the season since it came out #feels good

How about all the musical asks with Ushio? 💞

Just for fun, I’ll also post the lyrics I feel fit us the most from each song ♥ Thank you Jaska :3c ♥

1. what's you and your f/o's ~theme song~?

Oh boy, there’s so many good fitting songs-

I’ll refrain and say just two:

Drive Darling by BOY

“A silent conversation No words cause there's no need We let the tapes mix up the years And press repeat and press repeat “

And Utada Hikaru - Don’t Think Twice (I would’ve been mad at myself if I didn’t put this here jfc)

“I want you for a lifetime So if you're gonna think twice, baby I don't wanna know, baby, I don't wanna know“

2. a song that describes your f/o.

I have entire playlist for songs I associate with Ushio!!

But I have to say Yellowcard - Here I am Alive (acoustic) describes him the best.

“If I could write to the kid I was before I'd tell him you'd get everything you ever wanted But you will still want more Someone's gonna tell you Who you should wanna be So you forget the vision that they didn't want to see“

3. a song that describes your s/i.

I don’t? Have one?

I could say Lover Fighter by SVRCINA, but that reminds me in Dying Light and not with Ushio?

But I also think Sit Still, Look Pretty by Daya would go with s/i with Ushio, since I don’t like the notion of just being eye candy, even to him. But I hate how that song puts down girly girls, there’s nothing wrong with wanting spouse or wanting diamonds..

4. a song you think your f/o would sing to you.

OH BOY (part 2)

Light Behind Your Eyes - My Chemical Romance

“If I could be with you tonight I would sing you to sleep Never let them take the light behind your eyes”

5. a song you would sing for your f/o.

Without You by Oh Wonder

“Can't be on my own without you I'm a little bit lost without you Without you”

6. a song you two could duet together 👀 i know you've thought about it

HOO BOY (I’m sorry but im just excited)

Can I have this dance - hsm soundtrack & Enchanted soundtrack - So Close!!

“Take my hand, I'll take the lead And every turn will be safe with me Don't be afraid, afraid to fall You know I'll catch you through it all“

“You're in my arms And all the world is calm The music playing on for only two So close together And when I'm with you So close to feeling alive”

7. a song that describes your pre-relationship (*cough*pining) stage

Ushio POV: Matkalla (En route) - Anna Puu

“ I'm sitting behind the wheel In the traffic jam of half past four

If I was en route

I don't remember where to anymore and if I'll ever make it there

I can't get you out, can't get out I can't get you out of my thoughts

Someone honks

The line might budge a bit

But if I follow, it means

I'm driving further away from you”

Mine: Daydream Away - All Time Low

“You're just a daydream away I wouldn't know what to say if I had you And I'll keep you a daydream away Just watch from a safe place So I never have to lose”

8. a song with ✨confession feels✨

Fools - Lauren Aquilina

“What if we ruin it all, and we love like fools? And all we have we lose? And I don't want you to go but I want you so So tell me what we choose

Friends, I watched us as we changed The feelings in my headspace rearranged I want you more than I've wanted anyone Isn't that dangerous?”

9. a song with 💕first kiss feels💕

Blush (Only You) by Plumb

“When you look at me I start to blush

And all that I can see is you and us

Well, baby, I'm so free to be in love

With you, with youI wanna be in love with only you

I wanna watch the sky turn grey and blue

I wanna know the kiss that's always new

I wanna be in love with only you “

10. a general song for your post-relationship stage

Kipua by Lauri Tähkä (lit. translated: Pain,Vain Elämää cover, original is by Mikael Gabriel) I have both versions in my Ushio self ship playlist bc I love it so much ♥

“I’m not afraid I can take it I know it

But when I look at you you are quiet girl

I want you to sleep between my covers, so you’ll never feel cold again”

11. a song you'd play/played at your wedding

Since I mentioned Dont Think Twice already...

Mitä jos mä rakastan sua - Yö (literally translated: What if I love you by Yö, and I have to translate lyrics myself oh boy)

“What if I love you more than love means

I say thousand times “I do”

And the (wedding) bells can ring

What if I love you to the next light year

Hundred rings I’ll put in your finger and carry to the edge of the world

I have home with you”

12. a song that describes your post-marriage stuff 👀❤

The one you say goodnight to - Kina Grannis

“And maybe you'd like someone to greet you at the door after a long, long day. I'm here for you, if you let me.I will be the one you say goodnight to.“

But also Everyday - Hsm soundtrack

“Everyday of our lives,Wanna find you there, wanna hold on tight

They say that you should follow and chase down what you dream,

But if you get lost and lose yourself, What does it really mean?

No matter where we're going, It starts from where we are.

There's more to life when we listen to our hearts and because of you, I've got the strength to start”

13. a fluffy song for you and your f/o

Too many!! This ship is fueled by tooth rotting fluff!

Kiss Me in the Morning - Stereo Skyline

“If you kiss me in the morning Say you're mine I can make it through the day alright. If you leave a little lipstick on my mind I'll be fine, I'll be fine And if I was a million miles away I'd try to make it back to you each day”

14. an angsty song for you and your f/o

I know I mentioned this already in my “Ushio’s dead” fic but its the utmost peak of angst for us

Funeral Song - Ellinoora

“After you've called someone 'dear' once, there's no going back

And when I get lost in the dark, you'll go even deeper

My wounds are yours, and your pain's mine,which is why I don't understand why you want to jump away

Some die young, some pass away when they're old

Some never get to experience love

Because they're too scared of having to bury it

And when I do it, I'll wear a wreath on my head”

15. a badass song for you and your f/o

Somebody To Die For - Hurts

“I've got nothing left to live for Got no reason yet to die But when I'm standing in the gallows I'll be staring at the sky

Because no matter where they take me In death I will survive And I will never be forgotten With you by my side”

16. a dark/super edgy/kinda edgy song for your ship

What I believe - Skillet & My Demons by Starset

“You are what I believe I'll live and die for You This is all that I need When nothing is real you are my truth

In the darkness you shine Can You keep me safe tonight?

When I'm down on my knees You are what I believe“

“They're all around me, Circling like vultures They wanna break me and wash away my colors Wash away my colors

Take me high and I'll sing Oh you make everything okay“

17. a song you associate with them purely for aesthetic 💅

Somewhere in Neverland (acoustic) by All Time Low

“Say goodbye to the halls and the classes Say hello to a job and the taxes The weekends with old friends spilling into 9 to 5 routine Tell me how you feel over and done with Like your life is a map with no compass to guide, At the bar drinkin' way too much We sing along to "Forever Young".

So here we go again Wishin' we could start again

Wendy run away with me I know I sound crazy Don't you see what you do to me? I wanna be your lost boy Your last chance, a better reality”

18. a random song from their playlist/reminds you of them

Daddy Issues by The Neighborhood

“I'd do whatever I could do I'd run away and hide with you I love that you got daddy issues And I do too“

19. a song that relates to your selfship's plot, but not necessarily the ship

I don’t think I have exactly what fits this since my criteria for adding any song to my self ship playlist is that it needs to apply or at least remind me of the ship.

But I think I’ll say Ribcage by Crywolf & Ianborg

It doesn’t quite fit by the lyrics but the general mood I get from it still fits? And I don’t have plot to go with it?

20. most popular song in your f/o's playlist

?? How would I know this?? I’m bad at guessing which is popular :D

I have a lot of BMTH and Fall out Boy and Five Finger Death Punch in my Ushio playlist so those would be popular I guess?

I’ll say Wrong Side Of Heaven - Five Finger Death Punch

“I saw the devil today and he looked a lot like me I looked away, I turned away“

21. most obscure song in your f/o's playlist

I’ll say Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want by the Smiths

#long post #letters of love #I'll keep you safe #fave songs #pls send more!! I love this ask meme

I want to know why you don't like Saeyoung, I actually didn't like him at first he seemed overrated, everyone hyped him up so much, and I thought his design was hideous. But now I like him bc I'm a naturally playful person who's also laid back, so I clicked more with his personality than the others. Although, the biggest turn off to me is that he's emotionally distant/ slightly abusive and coming from a home like that, I don't believe his problems/attitude are cured just bc he has a girlfriend.

Heyo dear anon! I haven’t gotten an ask actually directed to me and my preferences in a really long time so I was really excited when I saw this one pop up :O

Honestly, there are a lot of reasons I don’t like Saeyoung. He’s not my least favourite route - that role goes to Jaehee and Yoosung - but he sure is my least favourite character. To explain, we only get to talk to these people for 11 very eventful days. That gives us just enough of an idea of what their character would be like in day to day life. I didn’t hate Seven’s route - since you know, it was super action filled and dramatic compared to Jaehee (most boring and bland route ever!) and Yoosung (compare me to Rika one more time I dare you) - but if I had to just hang out with Saeyoung on a normal day, something a little like for example the Christmas DLC, I wouldn’t last!

Anyway, I already gave some arguments as to why I don’t like Seven in this post.

To summarize:

1) He’s the ‘right’ choice

2) The story revolves around him

3) Way more content

4) No room for disagreement

For details on all of these, read the post. I elaborated on them in some detail.

Now those arguments are pretty general, however I do have personal issues with his character as well. Funnily enough, I love his design. I actually liked his design better than Jumin’s when first seeing the playable characters which says a lot, because Jumin is my one and only.

I have OCPD. Now for anyone who doesn’t exactly know what that is, in short and simple it means that you are an extreme perfectionist. You have to have control over every situation, express your emotions in a very controlled manner if at all and are extremely orderly. I’m talking about sorting my books by author, category, colour and size and my clothes by colour and thickness/the weather I wear them to. My entire life is planned through and organized to the T. I am probably one of the most disciplined people you might ever meet…Saeyoung is the polar opposite of that.

His living situation says a lot about himHis ‘house’ is a disgusting mess and I wouldn’t last a day in there without wanting to pick up all the clothes and shit lying around to make it even remotely habitable. Not just that, but he’s a general mess when it comes to these things. I need everything to be structured and organized. He’s everything but!

So does the way he feeds himself…or doesn’tHis diet is repulsive and unhealthy as fuck. I don’t want to play his mommy that has to teach him how to feed himself properly but at the same time I don’t want my boyfriend/husband to eat like a 13 on his night alone at home. Heart disease much? No thank you.

His personality is fake as fuck as well as over the top and I don’t it at all. Something that people like to ignore is that this guy isn’t happy or playful at all. That isn’t Saeyoung, that is Seven. It’s a mask that he later on drops. Basically, we never really get to know Saeyoung, only Seven. Either way, this dude gives me a whiplash. He makes jokes as shitty as memes from 2009, constantly pranks people in such hurtful ways I don’t understand how anyone could find that funny and generally belittles other people for comedic effect. I don’t find him funny, I never laugh at his jokes and if I ever have to call him God707 (Napoleon complex much?!) ever again I might actually smash my head against a wall. He’s supposed to be quirky but that ain’t the good kind of quirky for me. What also bugs me about his humour is that it’s so thoughtless. A good joke can happen due to the right moment, but I generally prefer jokes that are somewhat planned and thought out, jokes you actually have to think about a little. For a genius he sure doesn’t think a lot.

His ‘depression’ is tiringOne moment he’s acting all happy go lucky, the next moment, however, some shit snaps and he turns into emoboy1996, constantly talking about death and how shit everything is etc. It’s tiring as fuck and just reminds me that his other behaviour is fake every single time. I had depression for many years, but I didn’t rub it in other people’s faces and I most certainly don’t make jokes about it. Wanting to kill yourself is some serious shit, the lowest any human being could feel, and he brushes it off and jokes about it off handedly. I find that to be disrespectful and frankly I question his ‘depression’ a lot of the times. I come from an abusive household myself so I know what kind of toll that can take on somebody. If he were to have depression I’d be happy to help him through it as best as I can, but with him it always feels so much more attention seeking than anything else.If he were truly depressed, he would ask for help properly, as in take it serious, or he’d suffer silently. His behaviour is short of erratic and ridiculous. Therefor, I can’t even take that serious about him, because he constantly joke about it. I know that recently it’s become ‘cool’ to have a mental illness and I literally saw a friendship goals post where two girls wrote how they were having a mental breakdown at the same time and apparently that was funny, but I just can’t laugh about shit like that. Frankly, to someone who actually still suffers and suffers on the inside as to not bother the people around themselves Seven and his bullshit behaviour are just a huge slap in the face.

He makes a lot of dumb decisions and others have to clean up the mess for himTo me Saeyoung seems very thoughtless and undisciplined a lot of the time. Vanderwood has to clean for him, because he’s incapable. He can’t work because ‘there are other things on his mind’ that are more important than a certain commitment. Because he has bad memories of Christmas, he has to ruin it for the others. Keeping you away is such a good idea! Let’s break your heart on purpose and insult you while you’re at it, because that what he thinks is right and your opinion or feelings don’t mean square shit. Yoosung almost lost his eye forever, because Saeyoung can’t plan. His brother almost died, because Saeyoung can’t plan. You, Vanderwood and him almost died because he can’t fucking plan. Those are just a few instances, I could go on for hours. He acts very egocentric and rash as well as putting his wants and needs first a lot of the time. Not to mention that he seems incapable of taking anything serious or sticking to a deadline or deal. You can be laid back - heck I am laid back myself! - but at some point you have to be a grown-up and do the fucking tasks necessary to live like a normal human being. He fucks up even at the basics! Those are nasty traits to have.

My head is a mess at the moment - University homework is killing my spirit - so I’m not as organized up top as I’d like to be, but all in all, those are some of the main reasons I don’t like him. It also doesn’t help that I find his voice soooooo annoying. I’m not a fan of Saeran’s voice either and I can’t stand whenever Zen sings, but otherwise the other voices have such positive impact on me while Saeyoung’s just drives me up the wall?

Jumin is like warm honey

Jaehee is super soothing

V is soft and pleasant to listen to

Yoosung is sweet and excited

Zen is hot and seductive

Saeyoung just sounds shrill and silly….

Obviously there are probably more reasons I don’t like him and probably a lot of them people won’t agree with and that’s fine! Everyone has their own personality and therefor prefers other traits. It’s all a matter of taste. Saeyoung just really, really, really isn’t mine.
