My english lyrics for Triage woo! (They're written out under the cut, I just wanted to share my lil chart lol)
Though I'm too indecisive to officially label this as my favorite song, it's had the strongest emotional impact on me by far. It holds a special place in my heart, I definitely wanted to write lyrics for it first! I'll leave all my rambling process commentary in the tags, but I was so happy with how it came out!!
All of those cards of promise thrown down carelessly,
This must be retribution for all I've taken endlessly.
If that were the case, it should have been fate for me to die.
That's the truth, given my crime, so why--?
No, I can't take it, to this cruel joke I'll submit. You
don't know, you can't know, but I'm ready to admit:
Killing for them, extracting for them, won't change the fact they're dead.
I need someone to tag me as RED.
It makes me sick (sick), it's too unpleasant. Sick (sick)
Is this punishment? What do you mean I'm INNOCENT?
I see, the world is cruel and leaves you on your own.
(I can't die) to atone. (I can't love) alone.
I can't be saved (saved), you've nothing to give. Saved (saved)
But what if I lived? Why else would you choose to forgive?
I see, there's lives to save so let's be sensible.
Right now, you need me, (I can be) indispensable.
Tilt to and fro, I know the scales should land on GUILTY for me.
Tilt fro and to, it's INNOCENT that they choose.
They cry (x4) out in pain, I can hear them. There's no one else, to guard their health,
My mission is offering help.
All of those cards of promise thrown down carelessly,
This must be retribution for all I've taken endlessly.
So if that's the case, then it must be fate to make amends,
Extract that fang before we meet the end.
It makes me sick (sick), it's too unpleasant. Sick (sick)
Is this punishment? What do you mean I'm INNOCENT?
I see, the world is cruel, but what I've realized is
(Now I want) to be INNOCENT. (Now I want) to live.
It makes me sick (sick), This wasn't my plan, hostages at my command.
Their future resting in my hands
I see, there's lives to save so let's be sensible.
Right now, please save me, (I will be) indispensable.
Maybe this was meant to be -- oh -- or maybe neither of us can know
There's lives to save so let's be sensible.
Right now, please save me, (I will be) indispensable.

I mentioned earlier that I always get annoyed with myself when people post translyrics and I can't figure out the rhythm they were going for, so here's a recording of me singing, but I'm bad at it! It's just for fun! Like a rough draft for music! Because the only thing worse than people hearing my voice is people thinking I can't count syllables!
#milgram#shidou kirisaki#lyrics#im real happy with how they came out :))#when i first got into milgram i started writing tear drop lyrics but got discouraged#(ill be revisiting them next but) it was so fun to work with this song!#i love the sound of it and had a great time creating my version#i wanted his repeated lines in the refrain to have a punch to them#and was SO satisfied giving the doctor 'sick' and 'saved' as his focus words#the mention of 'throw down' wasnt originally intended but it fit so well i just had to keep it asdfsd#i looked up an internet translation for 'Shinenai sentaku o ikenai ai o' because the official english line confused me#and it gave me 'i cant die. i cant go. i cant love.' and i loved that more than the official translation actually#really the only word that doesnt flow quite like id want is 'punishment' but the meaning/rhyme made me happy so i kept it haha#nothing can replace the sound satisfaction 'Yurayura tenbin yurusa naide hoshii noni/Yureteru yurushite hoshii to' gives me tho -_-#and i wanted a more open-mouth sound when he sings 'dattaka' the second time -- i absolutely love how he draws it out#but had to settle for what i could make work 🤷♀️#we are spitting in the face of cringe culture and posting my voice!!#some writers are okay if their complete vision doesnt make it across to the audience but Not Me#i gotta show my whole vision and draft 😂#oh and excuse his voicemail message LMAO#i love shidou with all my heart but i have to tease him about shoving his profession in our face every chance he gets#(did we ever get a translation for that btw?)#but yeah im always preaching to do arts and things youre bad at just because theyre fun so i figured id take my own advice#because it was a lot of fun to sing :3#and i dont know how to word this in the fans-having-collaborative-fun way and not a pretentious way#but if any of the milgram pals who like singing want to cover it hmu :D

thoughts on daughter of discord?
oh boy do i have thoughts
i only watched the full thing once with a friend so i dont remember all of it, but of what i do remember, 1. rarity was done even dirtier than BOD; 2. they were so mean to rarity's daughter for literally no reason???? she literally didnt do anything and they always called her a spoiled brat or smth??? i feel so bad for her; 3. yes most of my problems have to do with rarity - i hate that shes encouraged to stay with fancypants bc it was changelings making him look like he was cheating on rarity. like yeah girl you should talk to him abt it like an adult but YOU CAN STILL LEAVE HIM FOR BEING A SHITTY DAD TO JEWEL 😭; 4. hey dick cordddd ur still manipulative af; 5. YOURE TELLING ME THERES ONE QUEER RELATIONSHIP IN THE ENTIRE SERIES AND THEY DIDNT EVEN GET TOGETHER??? FOR A SUPER SMALL REASON COMPARED TO WHY OTHERS SHOULDNT BE TOGETHER???????? come on now; 6. get all the baby filler away from me rn why the FUCK did literally ALL of them have to bang except for ONE; 7. fuck outta here applespike
i think thats mostly all of my qualms with it, but other than that i think it was a good watch. it doesnt stay with me as long as BOD did (prob bc i wasnt able to watch all of it as a child) but i think romance-wise, this love story was LEAGUES better than the last one. also i like how it kind of repeats the same moral of the last one, but in a different circumstance that poses new pros and cons.
with BOD, discord was only one person. he was an all-powerful, godly person, but he was still one mind. the changelings in DOD, on the other hand, are an entire nation. this isnt the same "misunderstood outsider" trope that we see with zecora or discord, this is an entire species; one that even themselves believe is physically incapable of loving.
mothball(which is literally the cutest name for a bug-themed character ever) is first in line to lead his species, so you can imagine the expectations and resentment that come with that; he has barely any real support on either side, queen chrysalis being the only adult he can really emotionally rely on. this is what makes his inner conflict so interesting, his empathy constantly at odds with his mother's ideology and his own biological needs.
screwball is also interesting, considering her dad is the lord of chaos and ex-tyrant, and her mom is an element of harmony, kindness incarnate. it's a classic nature/nuture debate kind of plot, but with a twist in that both sides are her nature AND nurture, the only turmulous factor in her life being her environment only percieving the chaotic side; some of it isn’t unfounded either, as she obviously tends to gravitate towards discord more (which is normal, considering most kids tend to have a favorite parent anyway). even if i really dont like the enabling nature of dick cord and how fluttershy is a punching bag again, i find screwball’s concept endearing.
also she and mothball are like, actually adorable. i find it ironic that the canon characters were altered to make an insufferable couple and the basically OCs were the outstanding romance. unlike fluttercord’s REALLY disturbing power dynamic and coercion, screw and moth managed to balance each other out, and (lemme yell it for the ponies in the back) WERE BOTH WILLING TO BE TOGETHER 💥💥💥💥
theres also smth strangely nostalgic about their dynamic. screwball has been the outcast her entire life, her lineage and connection to discord subjecting her to a lot of emotional turmoil. the only reason she has a group of friends is because of her mom’s rank and social circle as well, i dont think she’s had very much room for change or fantasy when her parents were trying to heal the damage the circumstance of their meeting caused for equestria. falling in love with the prince of an enemy nation is cliche and basically copied off of the lion king 2, but i love it in that sense because its probably one of her first instances of living through what seems to be a fairytale. it’s a kind of yearn for teenage rebellion and unpredictability that she’s had to keep trapped within a swamp in the everfree for most of her life, but even though it brings her so much happiness to be with mothball, it also leads her into great danger that her upbringing didn’t prepare her for. she’s scolded for standing up to her bullies and scrutinized for the nature of her character, so what can she do when faced with her very own romeo & juliet tale while entire nations seethe above them?
oh also i love how they incorporated the changelings’ presences in the story before the mane six are aware of their threat, even calling back to mentioned conflicts in BOD. they really use their shapeshifting powers to the most in this installment, and i think the instance that hit me in the gut most is the romantic isolation of twilight. especially with the context that this series was created specifically for shipping; what an insidious thing to keep her from finding love along with her friends to keep her alone as everyone else creates families. i, as an aromantic person, also feel a form of anxiety knowing most of the important people in my life may drift away in the event of marriage and forming roots while i probably wont. so yeah imagine that but with a newly-immortal princess who actually WANTS a romantic relationship, with people who are revealed to be actively keeping one from her - thats gut wrenching for me to think about.
when it comes to the music, i appreciate the effort they put into making original songs, but i also am just. unable to appreciate them bc the changelings voice filter just diesnt translate well to music at aaaaaaallllll. which is a shame bc it stood out so much that i cant remember anything ABOUT the original music. im prob gonna try to see if theres any normal renditions of the ost after i post this but yeah
#mlp#mlp fim#bride of discord#daughter of discord#storytellingwise it was way better#id love to revisit it soon once im done with transcripting BOD at least#if i were to rewrite DOD as well it would most likely be to fix the shit they did to rarity and alter it to suit the original rewrite#i cant think of anything id change abt the ball couple rn tbh#i would have a lot of fun translating the audio to writing tho#i know it probably already has the original fanfic version it was based upon#but idk id prob do it out of pure self indulgence

real unsure what the make of the live action yyh so far... they really played up the serious tones in the trailer, n it just makes me wonder if thats just for the trailer, or if they really didnt keep the more humorous tones of the original. im really not gonna like it if thats the case :/
#the charm of yyh is that it can both get dark n serious AND funny n silly#its gonna be a major downgrade if its changed to just one or the other#i liked kuramas spinny handstand whip move tho#well. all i can do is wait n see how it turns out ig#hopefully itll beat my expectations but im not gonna keep my hopes high#at least i hope itll revive the fandom a bit and get more ppl to check out or revisit the original#i did have a dream recently that kurama and hiei kissed in the live action remake.... one way they could make it better#bc if that happened id lose my MIND#would prefer to see them kiss in animation tho but ill take what i can get

watching a video that was recommended to me about trickster, i dont remember if i played this one? loreheads will know i was one to try many mmos but barely got anywhere in them (in fact id say it wasnt until my revisit to tera in 2015 that i really began to truly play mmos...) as well as being able to almost if not completely forget things
and i think its extra sad for mmos and other live service games bc....u cant always easily revisit these games
not all of them are like mabi or wow in that theyre still going strong decades later (or at the very least still online)
or have player run servers you can freely join like toontown (and thats even finding servers that arent pvp focused, have a not so great team behind it, or completely abandoned)
if youre lucky you'll find someone else whos played it, screenshots or videos talking about the game or maybe someone trying to pick up the pieces and get it running again
when tera shut down i felt sad even tho at that point i hadnt played it in like what 2-3 years? i still had good memories of the game
but if i had never played again after 2013 i feel like itd just....feel weird....
like our time together was just short and then its gone, you never stuck around to really know it
i dunno where im going with this
cherish your memories of online games and communties, take pictures and videos
you never know when you might be one of the only sources of a community existing online

If you haven't watched the OG Ultraman or Shin Ultraman I highly recommend them. I finished watching og then watched shin with my brother today and they were so gooood.
Aughhh i really want to!!! 😭😭😭 Also, im gonna ramble bc i have a lot of thoughts about ultraman please excuse me
Recently i just got into ultraman again after leaving it so long ago (i think the last series i watched was cosmos?) and I've been so. Overwhelmed (in a good way) with how much there is to catch up!! I initially saw the new ultraman blazar series and I've been watching it alongside pokemon horizons since they're released so close in time, and really liking blazar (this is me with him👇)
About Shin Ultraman, i was aware about its existence but i didn't really care for it before because i wasn't into ultraman back then.
I'm a pokemon fan first and foremost, but i didn't have nostalgia for it because i never played the games as a child, only watched some of the anime. But ultraman? As a kid I watched taro and 80 on my uncle's cd collection and i watched Tiga Dyna Gaia Max Cosmos on tv every weekend, I sang along to their opening and endings...
So rediscovering ultraman with my fully formed brain, coupled with childhood nostalgia, revisiting familiar and also new faces, watching the UGF series, finding out the lore and story of the ultras... My heart is full of appreciation for this series man
^just recently found out that this gif is from ultraman moebius iirc, despite having seen it floating the internet (since deviantart iirc). What ppl say is true your childhood interests really come back to you 🥹
M87 (the shin ultraman song) makes me emotional even though I haven't even watched the movie, i still remember when i first listened to it last year (i follow the singer), I didn't really like it back then just confused, i also didn't care for shin ultraman because i was unfamiliar with the original series (im more of a TDG fan) but now, with rekindled interest and more knowledge, my chest almost burst just from listening to the song 😭
I feel like watching shin ultraman will destroy me emotionally and physically (i heard it's more serious and diverged from the main story?) Luckily i dont have nostalgia for it, if i did id probably explode
That said, I'm really considering watching it sometime, some of my (non ultra) friend also showed interest in it, i hope we'll be able to arrange a suitable time for it!!! 🥹🥹 I'm not sure if I'll pick up the original series tho because I'm currently in the process of (re)watching Gaia and eps where my old favs return. I recently watched the episode with Moebius and 80 and it freaking DESTROYED me, i cried like a little baby, they gave a proper ending to 80 and his students, even brought the actor back. Seeing him being old makes me cry, time has passed so much 😭😭😭
Sorry for the long rambling i have so much feelings about ultraman!!!

Your citrine angst is possibly the best thing I’ve ever read 😭 when she gets mad at him and he’s so hurt cause he only has good intentions and is just a kicked puppy and when he actually snaps at her and she’s all shocked and then they both feel bad like TOO GOOD. Had me in tears 10/10 would recommend
Will you be doing any more citrine angst? Xoxo
AHHHHHHHHH OMG :( thank you so much really it makes me so happy that you enjoyed it!! that def was one of the pieces that when I revisit it it really makes me sooooooo sad and I could cry if I wasn't the one that wrote it you know shifuhsufhsu but im so happy you liked it im sorry I made you cry tho shfshufhsufhsu
tbh angst is hard for me to write it makes me so sad and im always like a sentence away from making everyone kiss and make up so I haven't had any plans to do anything like serious angst like that but if I got the right idea im sure Id write more !!

8, 28, 30 for artist asks
8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in
god too many to name. i guess most recently ive gotten swept up and away from my elden ring writing thanks to TotK and just revisiting my LoZ special interest in general
28. Any art events you have participated in the past (like zines)
i think years ago i did a writing prompt month but that was when i was still in college
30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated
AUGH FORCED TO HAVE POSITIVE OPINIONS ABOUT MY WORK AUGHHHHH
idk if id call it underrated cuz imo it was like. perfectly rated but the circle of ppl it was shared to was small. actually on that topic i remembered another one that IS underrated imo. okay so i was GOING to say a fic i wrote for my partners circle of spores druid but that got me remembering something ELSE i wrote for his eladrin kensei monk. that one i was rly rly proud of and it didnt get much traction or response with the ppl i posted it to (which is fair and valid, i write A Lot) but i STILL think it kicked ass. id have to update its trigger warnings tho
#anon ask#MORYN I STILL REMEMBER U YA SAD FUCK.#not rereading it to avoid my self loathing tainting my positive memory of it ✌️

Hi! I've been reading your fics since like verrryyyy late 2015 close to early 2016 and i love all of them!
You're like one of the top tiers damian fic writers for me (my personal favorites were actually dad!jason and your warewolf!jason AUs. Yes i'm a sucker for close jaydami) tho this is like my first actual time going through your tumblr
Love how you write the characters!
🥹🥹🥹 thank you so much thats so sweet of you to say!!! I so so so appreciate it 💜💜💜
Id love to revisit dad!jason one day. Or actually finish werewolf!jason. I have an ending in mind and have since I started, it’s just…how to connect point a to point z, ya know?
But thank you so much for reaching out, it really means a lot. Not a lot of people are brave enough to do stuff like this, I feel, so I’m honored to have received yours 💜

i cannot sleep for the life of me due to nausea, im running on maybe like. twenty solid minutes of the Essence of Sleep™ than any substantial sleep so. whatevers below may not make a lick of sense etc but imma just ramble until maybe my eyes kinda tucker out on me and whenever i become more human again ill revisit this so. possibly take it with a grain of salt
and also possible cw in the just case i ramble about anything like g.ore / injury / murder what have you. also nothing is meant to like. pigeonhole interactions into what this mess might have in it. i am simply wordvomiting at this point from lack of rest fingerguns
so when i think about the, what, i think they said roughly a month that maria's been missing? ( dont quote me pls but thats the estimated timeframe i have in my head so if its not then.... vague hand gestures ) with the implication that she's been captive so long, obviously comes with some thread-pulling on the usual M.O. of the family, which is typically yknow, kill quickly get the body taken care of so ideally no ones' missing their loved ones long enough to follow any trails. which, in that case, would mean that more than likely maria ( maybe others in the past ) were kept around as a plaything of sorts, a thing to toy with, to break.
and while i could see it being done so by johnny, for whatever his motive could possibly be to keep her alive for any prolonged period of time. frankly? i could more easily see her being kept alive for so long because of nancy. if maybe its just the womans' vitriolic nature that compels her to do so with a random victim from time to time, esp with her voicelines about some conjured up "attraction" regarding johnny on marias' part ( no ), its like. i could so easily see the woman being a big part of why they didn't kill her off as quickly - to teach her a lesson? to taunt her needlessly? to take out her sick anger on? who knows. but thats what im more inclined to at the moment when it comes to how i portray maria, esp in her Living aus.
its partly why ive got the itch in the back of my mind tho to possibly take on nancy when shes released ( i want to have more info on her esp before i decide to or not ). the woman just has so much venom in her and as much as it compels me to wanna hoist her up and throw her at a wall, shes like the hoyt of the game so far - theyre meant to be disgustingly cruel and vile and disturbing characters. but shes such a... nice foil in a sense to both luda and to maria.
like luda's not unfamiliar to killing, shes got blood on her hands in spite of her age, but shes not unnecessarily violent like nancy. luda harms or kills to get the job done - nancy has too much fun with it, she seems like she likes to take her time with people she fixates on and she seems as if she'd going out of her way to cause an abundance of unneeded harm to her victims. id argue that luda is respected in the family for her guidance and her role as matriarch, nancys' just lowkey straight-up feared to a degree because of how 0 - 10000 she can get. i can see them losing alot of potential food because she just...frankly goes way too far at times handling victims, that it makes the body mostly if not completely unusable to be butchered properly.
all that to say, yeah johnnys the one that herded maria to the family and sure i can see being why she wasn't killed immediately for likely just toying with her for a bit, tho with him i can feel the novelty of doing so could dwindle fairly quick; but i can see nancy being why shes still alive almost a month later, and in such rough shape yet still being kept alive ( in reference to her worse wounds being stitched up - if speaking with thomas in mind, he does enjoy sewing and will sew victims up if they arent ready or needing to be butchered right away so, could argue that he / bubba were told to do so by nancy to prolong maria's suffering. )
as for maria, in the aftermath of it all, its difficult to describe the types of injuries she definitely has because frankly when you consider the idea of her being alive for those weeks, her injuries must have been consistent and substantial, yknow? shes severely m.alnourished, severely dehydrated. physically shes a complete wreck and i truly think that until she saw ana and her friends? she'd gotten to the point of being shut down to it all and was simply waiting for death to take her in its arms ( which, i think if we think about nancy having a hand in keeping her so long, the lack of fight / reaction likely set her off in a different way than she's used to victims behaving and made her want to prolong marias life just to spite her ). like. at the end of it all, these people genuinely terrify and disgust and have t.raumatized her so badly, imagine being in her position for weeks.
maria's entire worldview and thoughts on people in general were so severely trampled on by this one singular family unit; she could never blindly trust people again, paranoia of being followed like she was, flinching from physical contact with people. she feels a shiver of fear when people smile broadly because she views it as having a sinister motive behind it. so much of her trust and willingness to see a shred of good in people by default just, shattered completely.
to note: i am still awake and my eyes are not tired yet and i am internally sobbing cause at this point im not going to get any sleep until later in the day cause i have errands to run in a couple hrs but im gonna cut this here dsfbjhkas
i'll end it here tho by noting that, should this make sense in terms of nancy by the time shes in game and all, then theres a good chance she'll ( unfortunately ) be added but also
in terms of the slightest sliver of a chance that, should one of the friends locate maria years after shes gone off to the pacific north west on her own and tell her about the plans to return to the house?
imma just be real and say maria may or may not wanna beat the ever-loving shit outta nancy if she somehow still has the audacity to be breathing- dsasdjk
#dont mind middle of the night-early morning renee im quite literally operating on a half bottle of warm water; a collective maybe half hr of#actual sleep / more like a powernap; and three m.ilano cookies. i am the tired.#my hc tag refuses to show and at this point i cannot be arsed to hunt if down to copypaste basdfhj#but yeah. again. late night ramblings. take with a grain of salt in case i have to come back and fix some of it when i can actually#function a little better after some actual sleep.#ill put some warning tags on. but if theres others that need to be added just shoot me an Im to let me know.#violence mention /#murder mention /#[ mf ] ── * 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐘. { maria. }

thanks! yes im from outside of the uk and im going there to see a play, im planning to see more nature tho. What "other places" you had in mind with this? i might not be able to visit this time but i would love to add them to my list :D
omg that's so fun what play are u seeing! the only reasons ive ever been to london is like, play, art gallery, school trip, or job interview dhigdhfg like its definitely not the first on my list as just a place to hang out tbh but theres obv loads of good stuff going on there :). it depends what ur into specifically like i like nature and history and museums so i usually prefer smaller cities that are historic etc. most of my fav places are up north which is probably too far for u to travel, but of the more southern places, everyone says norwich is lovely and its got that like charming quaint english feel tourists love dhudgf (<2h train frm london), bath annoys me bc its so posh but its got like a roman bathhouse that i saw as a child n was VERY excited by. if u go to oxford (<1h train) u can look around the uni buildings and libraries and stuff + the ashmolean museum there has an amazing collection of art and stuff from all over the world (that they shouldnt have in the first place but u may as well go look at it 😭).
also, glastonbury isnt a city + doesnt have a train station so you'd have to get a train then a bus but i looooved it there, it's super hippie and full of neopagans or whatever but its just mad and fun there was a great market and loads of cool places to eat when i went + its pretty around too and u can climb up a big hill to see the tor. thats like the only southern place ive visited that im keen to revisit honestly. bristol + brighton are both reeeeally not my cup of tea but theyre like quirky studenty places that are good for thrifting and music and stuff like that so id imagine you'd probably enjoy it even though i hate it due to the people and vibe dfhidgf
if u dont mind travelling further afield or ur interested in nature spots to visit feel free to ask abt that as well + ill leave the comments open if anyone whos more familiar w the south has anything to add<3
#ask#anon#the volunteering im doing rn pays for me to travel to + stay in london for a weekend training thing also#normally id say its like£20 and takes like 20min to fly london-edinburgh n then u can c scotland but#the prices are super high rn so its morelike £50:(#also if ur a folk music person u should go to cecil sharp house...#they have folk club nights and ceilidh nights n stuff too#everythings so close together here that its definitely worth taking a bit of a trip around n seeing more of a variety<33

Havent said anything abt perfume in so long bc ive been uh unwell but im coming out of it again i think.
Im interested in getting into florals, sth i started thinking abt in late spring. I want a green, wet, vegetal flower. Ive been enjoying Sublime Balkiss by the different company, but idk that it isnt too expensive for what it is. Lasts very little and ultimately it is just kinda a friendly fruity floral. sometimes i think that i just need to make life easier for myself and look into womens designer scents, but then i look at the reviews for Sublime Balkiss and people are like sharp green unisex different. And im like ah ok lol. Really interested in exploring tom ford's Vert Boheme, and that whole vert series in general, tho maybe its discontinued? And also fucking tom ford lmao. Fwiw i have actually tried Vert de Fleur during my last attempt at getting into flowers, and its not really it for me, feels like a sun-dried late summer steppe weeds + lipstick, the opposite kinda flowers from what im looking for. Funnily enough a lot of the reviews are calling it dark, fresh and dewy, which just goes to show that none of these words mean anything to me. (Having washed some of it off and waited a couple hours its much less unpleasant but still not what im looking for. dry bouquet herbal soap vibes)
De Profundis remains the untouchable fantasy BUT Amouage Myths woman seems to go to a similar green-earthy-floral well, while Myths man also has chrysanthemum and is supposed to be smoky which is intriguing (tho apparently also features prominent iris and is generally resinous and leathery). So time to reconsider Amouage perhaps. I occasionally revisit the samples i have and still cant really get into them but they are quite different from each other and idk that its their intrinsic dna that i dont get along with. Also given where de profundis comes from ive decided to stop being such a bitch about serge lutens, and maybe look into them for florals.
When i last thought abt perfume a couple months back I was considering making some purchases this autumn as a reward for hopefully defeating work demons, but im actually gonna be spending money on a trip and some things to do w that, which is a lot more valuable than perfume. However now i also want perfume as well. And idk id like to maybe not accumulate a million samples so i ought to go through what i have and really think about the hows and whys of my perfume experience. When i was depressed just now i still wore perfume every day but really didnt engage w the variety i have access to. I dont think i want to be the single signature fragrance person just bc my one perfume would be vierges et toreros and i cant do that to people, certainly not in the middle of summer lmao. But maybe i can have like... 4. Maybe 9. Fwiw i think ive resolved my search around leathers and animalics and am not interested in trying any more after having found my beloved few, even though some are completely inaccessible to me. Maybe i could write sth up about them. What feels very unresolved to me is fruits, my first big unexpected interest in perfume. Ive tried so many and rn i think i dont like any of them! My fucking samples store shopping cart is full of figs aside from flowers but maybe i should really think about whats wrong w the ones i have. I was gonna do a post abt the fruits as well and was reminded of it just now having had a bad time trying to wear Fig Man.
Anyway i dont think ill buy anything for now regardless, thankfully im good at not spending money. But i will try to have my perfume thoughts.
