hey unkle neen! ik it was just their name frm the show, but your fix have so much meaning in them, i was wondering if there was a reason that the name crimson dawn was chosen? ^^
AAAAAAAA!!!! okay, i will answer your ( very iconique ) question in a second, but before i do i just want to say that the way you set it up and lightly interlaced ur ask with letting me know that you notice and appreciate me taking small concepts from the show and giving them larger meaning/context within my fanfictions was so sweet n really, Really means A LOT to me!!!! like i am cheesing so hard rn!!! :') <3
i.g. plots coming full circle, extended metaphors, mirroring, flashbacks and flashforwards...i really like being thorough, going into microscopically specific detail abt everything...but more than that:
i want the Nice things i write...
to Mean stuff to my readers.
& for the stuff i write to mean something, it can't mean nothing.
this is specifically true in the area of names, which seems kind of insane, but even like something as minute as stan's maternal grandfather's name being joaquin and shortened to 'walk' by william phillips, stan's abuelos secret sbf lover in ww2, and stan's middle-name-sake who walk called run, is important because will-phil's war-torn, heirloom leather jacket which was given to stan's gpa seconds before run did what all white men should do ( go die in a war ) had now become Stan's Signature Leather Jacket, which was a huge ( like literally its gigantic ) part of his identity as a young transman but in a meptahorical sense, that red string of fate that tipsy!gpa!walk hand embroidered into the tag of his lover's jacket which stan wore with pride ( also literally ) is a physical testament to two men's true blue love for each other, represents revolution/rebirth & also says R-U-N.
...which is Exactly what stan does.
also i could talk for literal days about stan's chosen name being stan or even just stan's stage name being raven and all the variations of that and cuervo specifically from chapter four ( i was so fucking excited when we got to that chapter i was like ;)) It's GO Time, Boys! )
but that could fit in an entire other ask meme and i am trying not to let my oddly intense and sudden influx/rush of random RM Rockstar Ravenstan hyperfixation burn everything down around me like...
~The You Know What.~
which! was what i was trying 2 get at when talkin abt names and stuff because while in a deeper, under the surface sense, crimson dawn represents what the sky looked like the day stan died -- blood red.
it was a Crimson Dawn when all hell broke lose that day.
( which i can't talk about in too much detail juust yet... )
***[ tw for blood, fluids and general gender dysphoria ]
but what i can do is tell you why the name crimson dawn was chosen, which, is ironic ( emphasis iron ) bc has that ~sharp, smarmy, sultry, smoldery, shadowy, Superstar smokeshow~ energy to it and sounds like it's stands for something all deep and dark and brooding...
but rlly is just from an inside joke about the first song stan ever wrote
Blood Moon™
which he wrote on his period. ;)
hsdlkahlksahd ( i luv u soooo much, ravenstan )
so tldr they won their lil battle of the bands competition/got scouted for bm but OG CD did not have a name/whatever name they had was one of the 74093279423 ones they were trying out, so management needed one and they took stan and co.'s crude out of context inside joke abt it always being darkest before crimson dawn aka PMS as...
Cool, Dark, Edgy!
AND LITERALLY MADE IT THEIR BAND NAME!!!!! WHEN I TELL YOU THEY WERE ALL LIKE YOU DID NOT JUST NAME US AFTER OUR INSANE INSIDE JOKE ABT OUR TRANS ROOMATE WHO NOT ONLY IS NOT OUT ( DW! THEY HARD SHOVED HIM BACK INTO THE CLOSET! SO KIND OF THEM! ) BUT UR GONNA MAKE HIM DANCE AND PUT HIM IN THE ROCKSTAR VERSION OF A STRAIGHT JACKET AKA THE TINY SLUTTY VEGAN LEATHER STRAPPY PANTS??? OUR WEIRD LITTLE GUY??? ARE U KIDDING??
they...were *jersey kyle vc* Naught Kidden, btw.
and stan really did...have to learn how to dance.
...Absolutely Criminal.
but even more so, from that day forward, nevermore were our warped tour four fave broke boy shitiots bound by together by their shared rent/utilities & the butterfly tramp stamp lower back tattoo of friendship/brotherhood, because our zeroes had become heroes, now legally bound by a crooked contract that turned their dinky little no-name garage band and into chart topping punk rock super band
Crimson Dawn™
where blood moon was number one and trending for like...Weeks.
which meant they had to do interviews and stuff where stan was not very good at being raven yet ( obviously ) and drank a lot to cope, so when like, idk, fucking some big fancy talk show or whatever asked stan what blood moon was about, he was like...leans in...dead serious:
"OKAY, so you know...when you're on your Period, man? and not a light day either. i'm talking suuper heavy flow, dude. but you totally forgot your cycle was starting, so your favorite pair of sweatpants are stained like five seconds after you spent like fifteen whole quarters washing them? but its whatever. its late o-clock and no ones gonna see your fucked up chonies, bro. s'anyways, you're walking to the store because you ran out of pads and pain medication and FUCKS and like your stomach feels like you're being stabbed to death but you're still hungry? like, bro everything just sucks and on top of that, the grocery store just sold out of those dank ben & jerrys ice creams with the brownie in the center, or like, brooo, only has the those tiny whack containers that cost seven dollars?! oh, in the worst flavors too! like fuckin' cherry garcia or eugh, that awful Mint one that tastes like toothpaste if it were made out of miErDA and the full moon is out and you just want to start ripping off your clothes and tearing off your face and start fkn screaming at the top of your lungs? Yeah :). That."
aND ITS DEAD SILENT FOR A SECOND BUT THEN EVERYONE STARTS DYING LAUGHING AND IS LIKE WOW A SINGER AND A STAND UP COMEDIAN!!! LOOK AT THAT FOLKS! APOLOGIES TO OUR YOUNGER VIEWERS FOR LANGUAGE, WE'LL EDIT THAT OUT AFTER THIS, BUT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ONE THING YOU CAN'T CENSOR OUR FAV SUPER STARS BLOOD MOON RISING!
( which, blood moon and blood moon rising was also stan parodying the creedence clearwater revival song Bad Moon Rising about big cryptic apocalyptic feelings does Also play into this whole thing... )
anyways, management got REALLY MAD at stan about that but everyone thought it was a joke so it was Fine. but yeah their biggest single and their band is built on being on your period and being unhinged and wanting to smash shit and fight the government. <3
-uncle nina...who thinks waaaay Too Much about her weird lore
#sorry tw blood and gender dysphoria and body fluids and stuff like that ik thats kind of a weird hc but it was Important to me#transman stan u will always be famous#literally#like he is a disaster but he is the peoples punk rock prince#hes also so pretty and his voice is so pretty#everyone is hypnotized#speaking of stan on his period NOT THE TABLOIDS CATCHING HIM COMING OUT OF LIKE TARGET W PADS AND HIS GD ICE CREAM#and being like!!!! Lead Singer Raven of Crimson Dawn Buys Heartfelt Gift For Secret Romance. Whos The Lucky Lady?#AND HIM AND KENNY AND JIMMY ARE LIKE THIS CANNOT BE REAL LIKE DSKHDLKHDLDS LIKE THEY ARE JUST BUSTING UP LAUGHING HELP#but anyways yeah i'm sorry this is so insane i could talk about rm and pep and crazy weird symbolism i wrote in#for so so so soooo long#i have mental problems#i love ravenstan so much like he is my BABY!!! i love him like he just wanted to be a rockstar n write his music and have fun#and he is not having very much fun im afriad#and doesnt get to write his music either#that little stan monologue was so funny to me hes so cute my man said no one cares abt ur chonies bitch!! pull ur pants up!!!#legend and icon raven of crimson dawn everyone#whenever the tabloids misconstrue one of ravens transboy thangs as him just being a womanzing ladies man its so funny to all of cd#because like Whos Man Is That? not ours watching attack on titan on the couch trying to open a bottle of wine w a power drill

**if** this is related to the Tumblr Reduced Staff nonsense (and i assume it is), @emporium, this is amongst my least favorite parts to say the least. i loved your guys' creativity and the products i got 💔 to everybody who has been interested in shopping here: i hope y'all got your shoelaces, tumblers, tea-lites, and/or other stuff you may have wanted :(
#tumblr#tumblr shop#emporium#brick whartley#brick whartley's crab emporium#tumblr shutdown#i got most of the stuff i wanted as soon as i heard about the shutdown just in case the shop closed#and i was going to get the We Are Cringe But Free water bottle in December. damn#if tumblr does go down: i wanted memorium merch to mourn this community. that tea lite is gonna be real ironic if tumblr does close#also the ''dont talk to me until after ive checked my tumblr'' mug. which i did purely buy in case it ages into a MySpace levels of irony#i LOVED everything ive gotten and i bought from here multiple times before this latest binge haul of GET GET GET IN CASE IT CLOSES FUCK#i got SEVERAL of the magnets lol and i got the aforementioned mug and tea lite and a lil Default Avatar pop-socket for a kindle one day ♡♡♡#anyway. i hope the shop comes back soon. it was a cute idea with some fun ideas for items. ive had a lot of fun shopping there 💔

heres another wine fact. sorry. theres this hungarian winegrowing region called tokaji (pronounce it TOE-kai). the wine from here is a big goddamn deal, its referenced in the hungarian national anthem. in the 18th century this was the "king of wines," literally the cream of the crop, what all the aristocrats drank, etc. all your louis and fredricks of the big ruling families loved this shit. and its sooooooo sweet. its dessert wine. the modern disdain for sweet wines in serious wine circles is not this eternal thing, its the current trend.
i think of it like how europe treated heavily spiced food, how it was a luxury until the commoners got regular access to spices, then all of a sudden it was more refined to eat simple, lightly-seasoned food that "highlighted good quality ingredients" or whatever. i dont know if wine trends followed that exact trajectory? in europe and elsewhere theres always been a really strong tradition of peasant winemaking with whatevers around. i dont need to tell this to most of you, you can just point to your cultures traditional wines and spirits and whatever. but i definitely know that today Wine People like to disdain sweet wines that have strong mass appeal (even as they themselves enjoy an occasional Nice moscato) and let me tell you. they are doing that at least partially to feel better than and separate from the peasants.
i wrote this post mostly with the intention of giving you pointers to annoy people who have really bought into the superiority of it all, if you say most of that stuff around someone who likes wine but doesnt care about the prestige, theyre just gonna get nerdy and try to teach you something. youre all a bunch of nerds here, you know how to deal with an infodump just fine. alcohol is something you need to be careful about. if you cant have it, you probably know that, and that deserves respect and accommodation. but if you can, its got a long history as something that helps people meet and connect and engage with history and tradition. genuinely, the wine youre drinking and enjoying is a good wine, full stop. crack open the cupcake prosecco.
#its slivovitz for me. awful stuff. in my family we shoot it like tequila#anyway used to work somewhere that kept a couple bottles of grand tokaj on hand#i think it was $64 for a small bottle#far from the most expensive thign in the store but considerable#occasionally id just stare at it and think. what if i buy it and just drink it all myself in one night. in a silky purple robe#and feel like the secret jewess mistress of a hungarian count#im gonna do it one day

I love all of these goofy product photos where the water bottle is extremely obviously just photoshopped onto a stock image of someone pretending to hold something or whatever.. very convincing..
#the last one where the water bottle is like nearly the size of the woman's entire leg ghbjbjhh#ALSO I know.. gross.. nasty.. amazon.. I was only looking there because I was trying to find an exact replica of an old water bottle#I bought like 6 years ago in a store and I just wanted another one of those and it seemed like the only place the old manufacturer#still sold was through amazon but.. alas.. I think they just don't make them anymore. so I have abandoned my hunt#I didn't actually buy anything. but I did get distracted clicking through product images for a few of them#it's bizarre how like............... idk.. WHY is this done??? Isn't this offputting to basically ANY potential customer?? or do people#not look at every photo/read the entire page/all product information before buying??#all of these are from like front page ''top sellers'' or whatever like........... how does this not hurt the brand????#If the company can't even bother to take a single photo of a real life person using their real life product then... that to me#is kind of red flaggy..?? even if you're an indie start up small business with hardly any funds.. still#A real photo of the product you are selling in a real actual non-photo shopped environment does not seem that inacessible#Maybe it's because everyone does everything on phones now?? So it's harder to see the pictures when they're smaller?#Kind of the same thing with ai art and also hair color photoshops lol.. On my full comptuer screen it is SOOO easy to spot ai art#like IMMEDIATELy from the little tells and ways certain details morph into each other etc. I dont even mean obvious dalle mini stuff but#like the Fancy High Quality Photorealistic AI art is still pretty blatant 98% of the time if you know what to look for. But I still catch#people sharing it a lot like 'omg where can I buy this pair of shoes!! :O <3' .. erm you cannot.. that is the most balatantly fake looking#pair of shoes I have seen in my life hhjbj.. the heels are both different heights. there's a different number of straps on each one. etc.#AND that phase back before colored hair was Mainstream and people would post photos like 'omg going to bring this to the salon!! dream hair#and it's like.. you can LITERALLY see the parts where it's 'colored outside of the lines' and is so clearly just a person with blond hair#that someone drew over with a tint brush or something not even very neatly. etc. etc. ANYWAY.. Maybe with phones it's harder to tell these#things?? To me so much of it is instantly recognizable and it's suprising to me that people either don't notice or don't care and will#interact with it anyway by buying the product or acting like some ai art fake furniture is real or etc. etc. ..hewwoo#Aslo sidenote - I think I've become soo cynical and tired of constantly being advertised to that I literally cannot shop without getting#exhausted. I do not see how marketing is anything but obnoxious and transparent. Every item description having stuff like ''Our company is#commited to bringing you the highest quality water products! we set out with a mission to bring high quality products to people all over#the world and we believe in spreading health and happiness and'' just like SHUT THE HELL UP!! youre a fucking company#you don't ''beleive'' in anything you are here to sell a product. stop trying to talk like you're my bff who cares deeply about my health#or something just tell me the materials and product specifications of your stupid fucking water bottle and move on. Idont need to hear your#whole bullshit spiel about what ~your company stands for~ that is SO much MORE offputting. you make me want to buy the item LESS..#longing for the type of ads from my 1800s magazines that are just like 'this product is good. please buy it. okay thank you much. bye'

Started playing Pathologic (Classic HD) last night because I find the near certainty of my failure relaxing (no expectations). Was shocked to find that I survived day one, despite wasting so much time on bullshit such as:
Trying to figure out how THE FUCK to take a weapon out and use it after equipping it (no it's not by pressing the sheathe button, no it's not by pressing the attack button, no it's not by using the inventory, but a secret fourth thing (press tab))
Murdering some guys who were chasing and attacking some woman (every time I killed one, I heard children crying, which I assume is the sound of my reputation suffering due to me murdering people)
Trying to recall which key opens which menu. No, there is not one master menu where I can see the different menus and get to them that way.
Trying for WAY TOO LONG to climb a ladder which is most likely unclimbable.
Deciding to play a platforming game inside Baby Vlad's secret lair for absolutely no reason except curiosity and then to look into the well (also for no reason).
CHASING DOWN and talking to EVERY FUCKING CHILD to see if they've got the LETHAL DRUGS they plan to consume as part of a "GAME" after being told confiscating them is the only way to protect them (according to some kid in a dog mask) only to discover that NONE OF THEM HAD ANY (even though some did before the quest started) and in fact the only way to complete the quest is to give a single sample (found in the house) to the quest giver. This annoyed me a bit, ngl.
Trying painted on doors and being fucking confused when certain characters didn't appear in the house I was told they'd be in, only to discover that I couldn't use the doors INSIDE the houses and instead had to LEAVE and go round looking for more doors OUTSIDE to access other rooms in the house and find other characters.
Trying to fill my empty bottles at a fountain only to start DRINKING THE WATER and watching helplessly as my exhaustion increases.
Climbing up stairways into literal nothingness simply to indulge my curiosity (and hear the sweet sweet sounds of children crying, as usual).
Most fences are marked on the map. Occasionally, they aren't and you will reach a dead end where you can SEE, even TOUCH the house you're looking for but have to search for a way around to reach the door (as your time trickles away and your exhaustion steadily rises).
Just standing there WAITING for Georgiy to let me examine the body in the evening, at the time he'd said I could (eleven o'clock). I even had a dialogue choice where I told him I'd get evidence from the body so I assumed I'd need to complete the examination with Rubin that night in order to complete the day's mission (and not die). Eventually, my exhaustion levels got super high and it was past 11 so I just went to bed and it was like, "GOOD JOB!" so I guess I was wrong. Apparently, if you get there at nine and speak to Rubin, that's all that's needed, I GUESS. Okay, this annoyed me a bit.
I also do a lot of very slow walking around looking at things (and trying to activate them) in games but, in spite of all this, I did manage to complete the first day and did not DIE so perhaps this game is more forgiving than I had thought (at least at first). I was fully convinced I was going to die when Katerina told me I had to solve the murder in the next few hours (each hour is FIVE MINUTES) or be DOOMED but it was fine. It gave me the fix I needed and I had a good time.
Will I go back and finish it? Maybe I will play a bit more but if it keeps giving me times and instructions and then completely disregarding them, I might get frustrated.
#pathologic#I found the bleak setting very calming#I love the creepy old school characters. They all look horrifying.#I may have actually already screwed myself because I spent all day chasing quests and fannying about#So I didn't buy any food and I saw someone say that the price of food goes up TEN TIMES now...#I did FIND some#And I completed all the quests I encountered so I got some STUFF#But I didn't buy anything because I was doing other stuff and also have no idea of what's useful to me and what isn't...#And I didn't know the price of food would go up that much on day 2 obviously#I went into this game completely blind#but did look up some stuff (like how to take my FUCKING GUN OUT) while I was playing#I also checked online before sleeping that I really didn't need to examine the body (that's where I saw the tip about buying food on day 1)#I spent plenty of time rummaging in BINS#Is water important? Who knows? I have lots though. I found so many empty bottles.#Maybe I will keep going just to see how far I can get

i have no room to insult people's food preferences because i HAVE drank condiments for enjoyment on multiple occasions
#eliot posts#mostly just teriyaki sauce tho#specifically one certain type if teriyaki sauce#the la choy stuff but SPECIFICALLY the original kind in the bottle w the purple lid#bc their teriyaki stir fry sauce is just not nearly as good#i am fucking obsessed w that shit#i would chug a bottle of it if it were not for the sodium content.#but alas i can only have a baby sip every once in a blue moon or put a lil bit on food#but i can only find it in ONE specific local chain grocery store for some reason anymore???#that chain is also the only place i can consistently acquire faygo as well...#but the past like 3 of them i visited they were OUT OF REDPOP#which is an attack against me personally#give me the strawbby sody..#(that shit tastes like strawberry old ppl candies for real. but carbonated. it's great.)#(i DO have a bowl full of old ppl candies too which is pog)#me a few days ago going out of my way to go thru the self checkout#bc i didn't want the cashier to see me buy 4 bottles of teriyaki and a case of cream soda and nothing else#(that store is a bit out of my way and sometimes they are sold out so i wanted to load up on the sauce lol)#i've also drank marinara sauce before#it was my freshman year of college and for some reason i hadn't had a real fruit or vegetable in DAYS#and it was late at night and the dining hall was closed. and i was out of fruit in my dorm#but i DID have a lil jar of pasta sauce#so my body's desperate cries for vitamin c lead me to take a hearty swig of that and savour the tomato chunks in it#god.#i am so glad i do not live in the dorms anymore and have my own kitchen w room for lots of fruits and veggies#sidenote: that local grocery chain was also my first job. the pay was dogshit but the management was lax and there was a union#and they were the only ones willing to hire me on very short notice and at the height of the pandemic#i was stranded w my parents at the time n figured if i'm gonna get berated by middle aged assholes all day i might as well get paid for it

Confession: Sometimes I take people’s plastic water bottles when they’re not looking and refill them (never all the way though, just enough to slip under the owner’s radar) with tap water.
That way, when they take a swig I get the satisfaction of knowing not only can they not tell the difference between tap and bottled water but the fact they get a little bit of extra hydration to get them through the day.
#DS7's Log#I know how in some places there would be concerns about stuff like water quality#and the like but in my area the water quality is actually fairly decent coupled with the fact that water filters exist#adding to that I would never do this if I thought there was an actual chance that I could potentially be giving someone impotable water#because come on#that's just a dick move to do anyway.#Actually#the entire reason I started doing this was specifically because someone was being a dick and complaining about how#'Tap water is /so awful/ and /clearly inferior/ to bottled water.'#(Even though it was just plain old generic bottled water and quite literally the same as the local tap water???)#And then they'd yeet the used bottles wherever they damn well pleased leaving me to have to pick them up and be like#'Dude if you're going to keep doing this at least have the decency to recycle the damn things.#Like for real y'all go through a case every week and the cat keeps trying to eat the plastic in the middle of the goddamn night#(Because cats are just /like that/ ya'know?)#Do you just want me to buy you a case of those reusable water bottles because I /know/ they make 'em with built-in filters and all that#plus it would probably be a heck of a lot cheaper that having to shell our for a case every week? Like c'mon man...'#But alas no they decided to continue on with their stubborn ways#so (since I was just pretty much tired of picking up the damn things) I decided fine time to be *~*Petty*~*#It's been a few years and I still don't think they've actually noticed anything.#Does this make me a bad person?#Probably.#but do i actually care?#Just so long as they're getting adequate hydration and the end of the day#no not really.

#im gonna be having to figure out the ring holder on my own because all the diy guides are like#step 1. buy a ring holder step 2. put rings inside step 3. enjoy!#like no yall i literally need you to tell me what materials i have already that can be made into a ring holder#im glad i save all my online order boxes and styrofoam#im gonna use sewing pins to hold the upholstry into the foam#the upholstry will just be a piece of scrap fabric#the bottle cap pins are gonna be all the fictional drink brands like pitt cola; guaccola; apple blood; etc.#and also random fandom stuff#Out ofthe 3 jackets i ordered from thred up only one of them is punk-able. the second one is gonna be a patch jacket instead of having pins#but yeah i wanna have lots of fandom pins and just cool abstract pins but theyre so expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#also im gonna make duplicates! like 4 of each type because i want them to be on all my punk fits (i have a pin and chain skirt; a jacket;#an overalls dress/apron dress with pins; jeans with chains and bleach dye#because i dont want to be removing the pins and putting them back every single day. so i need lots of pins
