Just finished listening to This Life and I have to say: it's their best since Jason's departure, but no surprises, I already predicted it when they released Windows.

I feel like this album was more "Mark" and I really really loved it. We truly have been blessed this year.

Highlights imho:

Windows - Ofc, as I said, their best single since Progress. Listening to this song while walking on the streets and feeling the wind blowing and messing your hair hits different, trust me.

Brand New Sun - my anthem, I loved this song since day one.

The Champion - yk I'm a fan of almost everything Mark does, so no surprises this song would be here. Amazing as I expected.

Mind Full of Madness - idk, the intro kinda reminded me of Stevie Nicks' Edge of Seventeen. Great song, tho. I enjoyed a lot

Time and Time Again - a very Mark song. If it was Gary or Howard singing lead wouldn't be the same, the ✨Mark vibes✨are unmatchable

One More Word - This song is so so so beautiful, omg, I'm in love

The other songs are also good (although I can already say This Life is my least favorite), but these caught my attention in this first listen. Everything can change the following days.

#although the circus and progress are superior #but I think it shares my personal 3rd place with beautiful world #maybe surpass it #let's wait and see #take that #tt #mark owen #gary barlow #howard donald #this life

I laughed so much while drawing this 💖 anime overlord high AU

#lol I probably won’t make anything else like this but it was so funny to me #it’s an AU with every anime cliche lolll #radioapple #my doods #shitpost #luci is senior class president #Alastor is a 10th grade transfer student #Al picks a fight with the mma club and wins #then picks a fight with another club and loses (idk)#hmmm and maybe alastor intimidates his class rep out of student council and takes his spot #so he could get closer to surpassing Lucifer

of all the star wars movies, which of them do y'all 1) enjoy the most 2) consider the best quality and 3) think you've rewatched the most. add your answers in the reblogs or replies, i'm genuinely curious how much of an overlap there is within everyone's three answers. mine don't overlap at all! they're revenge of the sith, empire strikes back, and the force awakens :^)

#len speaks #star wars #revenge of the sith #empire strikes back #the force awakens #not tagging more films than that bc i cant b bothered. incoming tag ramble ahead bc i have sw brainrot rn and im making it everyones prob❤️#i rlly struggled 2 remember if id watched tfa or aotc more. i went w/ tfa bc it was formative to me as a teen and ive seen it probably 6ish #times? whereas aotc was the first sw movie i remember (specifically the scene of obiwan serving c*nt in the bar lmao) but i've only seen it #for sure 4.5 and maybe 5.5 times. the .5 is from when i got bored after obi-wan's scene ended and ran off to go play in the mud or smthn 😭#i'm sure tfa will eventually get surpassed in number of rewatches by aotc and rots bc i don't fw the direction of the ST but that's my #current ballpark estimate of my total number of rewatches #as an adult tho if i just wanna watch a star war i'll go with aotc bc it's fun and ends semihappily and i can turn my brain off for the #spinny lightsabers. it's great background noise or for if you're sick or whatever. rots on the other hand? i won't talk through that unless #i'm quoting it with my brother and i am LOCKED IN 100% entirely entranced by it all #i almost picked rogue one for the best quality answer but i think the character writing is weaker and the facial cgi is creepy. esb beats #it by a hair imho bc of that. the vader hallway scene goes hard tho!!!#also i'm not covering shows or games or books or anything else in this post - simply the films. might ask abt shows later but that might #also give me hives bc so many of the shows suck ass and i don't rlly want ppl extolling the virtues of t.bb in my notes 💀#and yes i do think one's enjoyment and one's opinion of quality are two things that often overlap. but sometimes you just like something #bad and that's awesome. like rots is the best of the prequels by a large margin and i adore the opening and characters and many of the #scenes but that doesn't mean it's the best star wars has to offer ykwim? it's my specialest most favoritest sw movie but that doesn't blind #me to the dialogue lmfaooo

Dazai fell first and harder.

#everything else is wrong.#“oh but which ship venus?”#Did I fucking stutter.#bungou stray dogs #soukoku #kunikidazai #sigzai #...actually wait.#Maybe fyodor would surpass this requirement.#but also : I don't see him fallimg first or harder.#Then again fyozai is a fucked up lil ship and they both want to kill each other and make out at the same time.#dazai osamu #nakahara chuuya #kunikida doppo #bsd sigma

If Bruce hadn't taken in his kids every single one of them except Jason would've turned out as murderous maniacs

#Batman #Jason Todd #richard dick grayson #tim drake #tim drake wayne #damian wayne al ghul #cassandra wayne #stephanie brown #duke thomas #actually duke maybe would be fine but i don't actually know much about him #yk those fics where Bruce isn't Batman/doesn't take in kids/is dead #and dick gets taken in by Slade or just goes on a murderous quest for zucco and turns out a villain/anti hero?#and Tim gets recruited by ras or doesn't have a target to obsess over and just grows up in a toxic society #and becomes an evil mastermind or whatever #and Stephanie becomes her father's protege or surpasses him or kills him or whatever #basically she turns out a villain right #and cass goes on to become the demon's head's bodyguard like she was supposed to #and Damian is not given to Bruce #and when in flashpoint Jason becomes a priest #yeah #that #DC #dcu #spoiler #batgirl #black bat #red Robin #Robin #red hood #nightwing

everytime i think more about fable i am just, heartbroken

fable knew where isla was the whole time, never had that question in his mind because he was the one who cast her into the end without her mind, he stayed in the house for years with her sons pretending he'd done nothing

he knew exactly where isla was, it was never something he just happened to stumble across, and so he knew either he'd kill enderian, or hed be killed, though the former was probably always more likely especially to his ego'd mind,

it was never even for isla

when he did leave icarus and rae, he wasnt going to find isla, it was never for isla, not really, if he did even try to convince himself otherways, he left two kids, one who he called his own, who grew dependent on him,

his hatred of enderian has always been so much stronger then his love for icarus, either of the siblings, but icarus he lies about

his hate will always be stronger then his care and icarus just keeps searching for it, now able to 'problem-solve' because hey, if enough of those fable hates die, become a null problem, maybe they'll prove they deserve that scarce love, earn it

#fables hate for enderian will always surpass his love for his son and that breaks me #becuase the time fable left and didnt return was never for anything but his own twisted retribution for an act he'd been living with #for years in her place #or maybe an outright attempt at killing enderian- not for the indiscretion but just becuase that had always been on his list of goals #isla was used as bait if i remember right #but why take the bait if you already created it?#fable smp #fin speaks #late night :['s #the morningstar family- and associated sadly the gilded empire leave me devasted as i put together more and more in my little brain

Had to break it to my sister (twelve years older than me) that she herself is an early millennial/late Gen X, that our brother is a Millennial as well, and that those "twenty-something interns" she sees at work are not Millennials (derogatory).

#ngl it is tragicomical #because she's not the first person that thinks Millennial #is a catch all term for annoying dumb ignorant young people #like a transferrable generational marker #we really truly be a sad generation #I think in the last century maybe only being truly surpassed by the greatest generation XD #(let me be dramatic for a second thank you)

that is…. certainly interesting information lmao

I do wonder why you were prompted to send it to me though lol

but also are you really considered Tumblr famous at 1k followers?!??? I thought it had to be like at least 50k+??

but also I feel like “Tumblr famous” is more so of a feeling of notoriety than it is a follower count? but idk

#also I’ve wayyy surpassed 1k… but I do still follow wayyy too many of my followers back lmao #if you have an interesting username or pfp? i’m looking at your blog and maybe following #so idk if I count based on that criteria lol #Tumblr slang #also I don’t even know all of these #also how old is this graphic????#the hellsite answers #hellsite hall of fame curator’s bullshit #random asks #ask

how do you study for such long hours? 12-16 hours? i tend to tire out after 8 hours.

bc if i'm not top of the class then what's the point. duhh

#my sincere answer is i have a degree in biochemistry #i've trained myself over a long period of time to do 8 hour study days #my stamina is probably just not like the average person's #i also break them down into blocks. 2 or 3 or 4 hour blocks idk. depends on what i have to do for the day #i also genuinely love academia and it's not hard for me to turn my phone off and throw it in a river #just so i could be engrossed in books all day #i love science i love studying i romanticize it easily i love challenging myself etc #also 12 hour and 16 hours r kinda overkill if you're not cramming for a national exam and u only have 2 weeks #i usually don't feel the need to surpass 8 hours unless i'm doing intense study camps #at the end of the day studying is a sport just like anything else #id say if ur needing to do 12 hr study days on the reg tho maybe assess ur efficiency #someone can study 8 hours a day every day but only truly be studying for like 2 hours

The spelling bee getting rocks through at them

found every sprite i could use for throwing without edits (minus Howie's because even as much as i hate this bee, Howie would never harm a bee)

#i cant even remember why i hate this bee i just hate him with a burning passion that has surpassed reason #im terrified of bees but like im scared of every bug so its not that #hes just so bullyable maybe thats it #I could have used Zora's dial as a throw but i thought it would be funnier if she just dropped a rock on him #epithet erased #not a place just silly edits #zora salazar #molly blyndeff #giovanni potage #that stupid fucking bee

Do yourself a favor and take a seat for this one fam 👍

I fell upon a point The axis of the spectrum To bathe in abstract joy Or die without direction

Determined steps we take But please, for goodness sake We’re not gonna make it out alive

I sit for wasted days and toil in desperation To weep beneath a sky of fractured indication Let faith lead you down But please, for goodness sake We’re not alive; we’re just getting older

I would help you, but I can’t Seems that time got the upper hand To live yet never understand Is there a purpose?

But you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders And you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders And you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders And you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders

But you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders (Do we) And you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders (Deserve this) And you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders (Do we) And you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders (Deserve this)

Live by the subordinate belief That we are more than this we live By the subordinate belief That we are more than this we live

Okay so you guys are just gonna have to trust me on this one. This came from an(other) anon source since the link on Way Back Machine is dead. This was published to Ves's YouTube channel on July 15, 2012. The description said something along the lines of this (basing it off memory, it's very loose):

I wrote this song about the idea that humans have evolved beyond our means. We suffer implications due to our sentience and awareness of our world, which leads us to questions we cannot answer. Animals are programmed to fear death but they probably aren't aware of its inevitability, where humans most certainly are, but are totally powerless to stop it.

Update on this song as of December 2023:

Two different Anons provided me with more background info. The first screenshot is the original description that Ves had (he also worded things in a much better and more Vessel way than I did lol). The second screenshot is copy+paste text from the lyrics portion below the description. I updated the lyrics to reflect the text.

An Honest Brief Review Of TTPD

People are going to dive into the words and look for clues to try and string people and events together, but I'm not here to do that.

I'm here to talk about the brilliant tapestry of words she's woven into this album, THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT.

Twists of Modern Poetry weaving in and out in a musical symphony. This was THE Taylor Swift album.

The songwriting, symbolism, and the aesthetic of it all encompass who she is as an artist in the music industry.

The whole album was compact and well intertwined from start to finish. You can count on Taylor Swift to make an album that is not only sonically cohesive or aesthetically pleasing but also contains songs that can exist even outside of the tracklist, on its own, with no context, whatsoever.

The whole promo leading up to release day and how she didn't put out any singles until today kept everyone on their toes, anticipating and wondering what this album is going to sound like. She's a Mastermind, no one can deny.

#taylor swift #it surpassed midnights #no skips #maybe one but purely 'cause it's not my taste :)#swifties #taylor's version #taylor nation #the eras tour #THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT #ttpd #ts11 #music review #new album #midnights #songwriter #music #but it's not over yet...

bruh how did u blow up 😭 i am trying to do my own little upload blog thing and it seems so hard

to be honest, I think it’s just because I already had another sideblog with a few thousand followers, and after some time with this blog i happened to reblog one of my own posts there talking about it. Before then, I got almost no interaction here (though I didn’t post very much then compared to now)

regardless, it’ll take some time and then you’ll get some hit post you didn’t expect, that’s what happened on my other blog I mentioned, here too

#add on I wanted to say maybe just try to focus on your own aesthetic niche and just keep at it with proper tags and such #my other blog I started in like early 2017 as a kidcore rainbowcore one #and it took me around a year to get any real following base #now in current it has around 6k (still a lot less than here #this blog surpassed that one’s following in almost no time I was shocked #but yeah all you can do is keep at it lol #I don’t have any real amazing advice that’s just what I did on my other blog #I kept posting for my niche and eventually got hit posts though they were memes to be fair at first I think lol #but you have to build a base following first #and wait

The thing is I am definitely not happy or chill in the Immediate Sense lately but I am, big picture, so fucking happy with the person I am.

It's like. My brain was made by and for consistent trauma and since that trauma stopped about 5-7 years ago, it is incredible what the amount of resilience and cleverness and flexibility and thoughtfulness I developed to survive can do when it's not being all spent on surviving. like I had a hundred ton weight on me so I had to get REALLY STRONG to stay in the same place and not get 100% crushed, and when that weight came off I found I can use the strength it used to take to stand up and I can leap tall buildings in a single bound.

I was talking to my mum the other day and she said, "you've got the 'fuck it' energy at 30 that most women don't find until their fifties at least" and I'm like yeah man. Imagine how unstoppable I'll be in 20 years.

#red said #i don't know that i can express this clearly but it's the most encouraging thing in my life #my mum's always been proud of me but just lately she seems to actually really admire me #like she's genuinely impressed. she thinks I've surpassed her. i don't necessarily agree but it's a really nice quiet joy.#anyway like this sounds super up myself and it kind of is.#but also it's part of realising just how heavy the weight I've been carrying around with me for 25 years was #like not to be ridiculous but i have realised again this week. that it isn't that everyone's been raped that much and doesn't talk about it #i just have been raped an Unusually Consistent Amount. i have spoken to a lot of people who have had much more horrifying things happen.#I'm not sure I've talked to more than a couple of people who've had a similar level of total consistency of abuse from all angles #and the one is not heavier or harder to bear that the other. but. i think i spent most of my life listening to people's awful experiences #and going ok well nothing i went through looked that bad so it's microtrauma #obviously microtraumas build up but still.#then the older i get and the more i have these conversations the more I notice that stuff which to me is a microtrauma #is a lot of people's defining trauma. and they're reacting appropriately which means i am SO SEVERELY UNDERREACTING #told my friend the other day about a time someone who i still like and respect was having sex with me when i paralocated my hip #and then just kept getting really annoyed with me for not being ready to have sex again while i was literally crying with pain #until i caved and just tried to find the last painful position #and my friend was like pal what the fuck that's horrific #and i was like i mean no that's normal I've had sex with like maybe 3 or 4 people in my life who i haven't had similar stuff with #like i am genuinely thrown when i am allowed to say no to sex and have it be the end of the conversation. and not end up having sex #out of guilt or out of physical coercion or through physical rape. and i have had sex with probably like 40 people at this stage?#and I'm not sure it's as many as 4 i haven't had that experience with tbh #so like. I'm slowly coming to terms with the idea #that i may have actually been doing a hell of a lot of heavy lifting.#like i developed a sense of self that can survive being constantly crushed and at this stage is fucking diamond.

actually On Your Feet gave us two good things (well. three if you like Realize which I do). Kohane's "it's frustrating" line and the great crack fic idea of Vivid Bad Squad getting cancelled online for skipping school to yell at The Kotaki Taiga as he was about to go back to America.

#no because. he went there to continue radder's dream yeah? the one about becoming world successful musicians #and they had a record label for a bit. they were definitely going to make it at least somewhat.#so we can assume taiga is at the very least a semi well known musician yeah?#one that someone about to either leave or enter japan might know about. who will see this musician they enjoy #being shouted at by a high school girl in her school uniform about how they will surpass him or something along those lines #with three other kids (in uniform from a different school) standing behind her #and then going onto sekai universe twitter to post about it and the taiga kotaki fans taking it by storm #taiga gets off the plane in america and finds he's trending and it's because people are making fun of a blurry picture of his ex pupil #meanwhile vivid bad squad just don't know because it was contained entirely on twitter and.#be honest can you see any of them having twitter because i can't. an maybe but akito doesn't have time for social media and toya is toya #and kohane is a tumblr girlie if i've ever seen one #however it does give the great concept of someone else seeing it and debating if they should say anything #because mmj definitely has an official account they could have seen it on and also there's ena shinonome and mizuki akiyama #but anyway this also means when they do put on the event to surpass rad weekend (or whatever their goal ends up being)#there will be a crowd of people looking at it and going “isn't that the group of kids that twitter made fun of ages ago?”#and then taiga kotaki stans on sekai universe twitter will be stunned because they did in fact surpass him #if it wasn't for the gcses i would write this but alas. enjoy my weird thoughts #bagel's rambles #project sekai #i am scared to main tag this one but. fuck it we ball
