Take A Moment To Find Yourself

26/F, New Zealand. I really like Drakengard, Nier, and Final Fantasy VII

just thought about how, since the five intoners are all different aspects of zero’s personality and appearance and many many problems, with two being the only genuinely kind and compassionate of them all, with no ulterior motives, who went out of her way to give orphans homes and care for them and was in a pretty stable and loving relationship with her disciple

and the way she was completely broken mentally bc of her “weak mind” in the face of trauma and the reality of what the power of her song was

she’s the part of zero that had tried to be caring for the other girls in her childhood, when no one else would, and she was thoroughly and horrifically broken despite her attempt and was never the same as a result.

So I found this CD on the street today on my way to work, right? So I decided I’d bring it home and listen to it.

And it was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.

LOL at all the people comparing this to ‘80s / ‘90s anime openings. My dad, who grew up Orthodox Jewish, flipped his shit when he heard the battle theme for Final Fantasy VI because it resembled Hasidic music. What is even going on, Japan?

[kirinblr]

Well this is kind of a revelation. This missing half of the equation.

Prog Rock + Hasidic tunes = 90s JRPG battle music.

[nadiaoxford]

OK but this post led me down a rabbit hole and I learned Hasidic music is really popular in Japan so I doubt any similarities to game / anime music is a coincidence. Holy shit u guys.

[bunniebard]

THIS IS REALLY INTERESTING

[c-rowlesblogs]

I love it when people who didn’t grow up hearing Jewish music discover how gloriously buckwild so much of is, esp with the more somber and serious mental image lots of people have of Judaism. Kedai Rabbi Shimon, indeed.

When Edelgard thought Byleth was dead, I died a little inside.

[humansofnewyork]

“He’d taken charge of so much during our relationship.  He was twelve years older than me, so he made all the decisions: where to go, what to eat, what we were going to buy.  He didn’t even like me working.  So when he died my life was a mess, literally.  I wasn’t quite a hoarder, but close.  There was laundry everywhere.  The couch was covered with worn shirts.  You couldn’t even find a spoon on the table.  I couldn’t stand it, so I left it all behind.  I travelled for two years, living off the life insurance, running from misery.  But I kept losing my passport.  Over and over again.  It infuriated me.  And that’s how I finally became orderly.  By getting so angry that I couldn’t take it anymore.  I began with my luggage.  I organized everything.  I made a place for my papers and keys.  Oh, it felt good.  I loved it.  I could finally relax.  To be organized is to be at rest.  You should see my home now! It’s immaculate.  Everything has a place.  All the clothes are put away.  I actually use a catalogue to fold them so they’re all the same size.  I love every little detail.    Organizing has become my art.  It’s how I express myself.   In February I’m going to the butler academy.  It’s a lottery ticket.  It’s my dream job.  I want to live in a beautiful house, together with a family, and take care of them.  I want to take away all the chaos in their life.  To order things.  To arrange things.  To be the one who always has the passports.” (Amsterdam, The Netherlands)

“Self-care is often a very unbeautiful thing.

It is making a spreadsheet of your debt and enforcing a morning routine and cooking yourself healthy meals and no longer just running from your problems and calling the distraction a solution.

It is often doing the ugliest thing that you have to do, like sweat through another workout or tell a toxic friend you don’t want to see them anymore or get a second job so you can have a savings account or figure out a way to accept yourself so that you’re not constantly exhausted from trying to be everything, all the time and then needing to take deliberate, mandated breaks from living to do basic things like drop some oil into a bath and read Marie Claire and turn your phone off for the day.

A world in which self-care has to be such a trendy topic is a world that is sick. Self-care should not be something we resort to because we are so absolutely exhausted that we need some reprieve from our own relentless internal pressure.

True self-care is not salt baths and chocolate cake, it is making the choice to build a life you don’t need to regularly escape from.

And that often takes doing the thing you least want to do.

It often means looking your failures and disappointments square in the eye and re-strategizing. It is not satiating your immediate desires. It is letting go. It is choosing new. It is disappointing some people. It is making sacrifices for others. It is living a way that other people won’t, so maybe you can live in a way that other people can’t.

It is letting yourself be normal. Regular. Unexceptional. It is sometimes having a dirty kitchen and deciding your ultimate goal in life isn’t going to be having abs and keeping up with your fake friends. It is deciding how much of your anxiety comes from not actualizing your latent potential, and how much comes from the way you were being trained to think before you even knew what was happening.

If you find yourself having to regularly indulge in consumer self-care, it’s because you are disconnected from actual self-care, which has very little to do with “treating yourself” and a whole lot do with parenting yourself and making choices for your long-term wellness.

It is no longer using your hectic and unreasonable life as justification for self-sabotage in the form of liquor and procrastination. It is learning how to stop trying to “fix yourself” and start trying to take care of yourself… and maybe finding that taking care lovingly attends to a lot of the problems you were trying to fix in the first place.

It means being the hero of your life, not the victim. It means rewiring what you have until your everyday life isn’t something you need therapy to recover from. It is no longer choosing a life that looks good over a life that feels good. It is giving the hell up on some goals so you can care about others. It is being honest even if that means you aren’t universally liked. It is meeting your own needs so you aren’t anxious and dependent on other people.

It is becoming the person you know you want and are meant to be. Someone who knows that salt baths and chocolate cake are ways to enjoy life – not escape from it.”

the problem with tumblr is you guys like Ophelia too much and hate Gertrude…I know being a morally pure beautiful young woman who dies at the ripe age of teenager is easier to mesh with your understanding of what womanhood should be than being an old shifty morally grey woman that no one really likes. But if you keep romanticizing this idea of ultra white ultra feminized self destruction you’re going to be trapped by gender forever because you feminize your own gender transgressions. there is no way not being a woman properly is ever going to fit into your idea of cute or aesthetic the point is that it goes against every possible prescribed way to be a woman. You’re not some wailing girl running through the forest you’re a regular girl sitting at home thinking ugly thoughts about embarrassing things. And so am I. And so is everyone else.

[iameverysparklywoman]

every time some new movement comes out about like flawed women it so quickly becomes incorporated into our idea of what it means to be a woman. like the broad city girls fleabag whatever woman who can’t get her life together is just another type of woman and the hysterical girl who gets a lobotomy is a type of woman. If you chafe against the idea of being a girl that isn’t part of being a girl it’s something that proves how fake being a girl really is. We are all like womanhood is this womanhood is that like…having some deep mystical tie to gender is not what unites us being profoundly uncomfortable with gender, struggling with it, and being punished for it is what unites us. What we have all been calling womanhood for so long is actually our failures at womanhood

New superhero: Crime Man.

He stops crimes exclusively by comitting crimes. He out-crimes the criminals.

[femmeharlequin-deactivated20240]

The Punisher does this and the crime is murder

[charlesoberonn]

The Punisher doesn’t stop crime, he punishes criminals. Big difference. Crime Man is more proactive than that.

[femmeharlequin-deactivated20240]

So what you really mean is like. A totalitarian government that profiles people and arrests them before they commit crimes (which is a crime)

[charlesoberonn]

No, it’s more like stopping a credit fraud from happening by comitting arson.

Spinel, Garnet, and True Kinda Love

I noticed something I thought was interesting while watching the Steven Universe movie, specifically in this shot.

And it led to me rewatching this entire scene with a critical eye to parse out what, exactly, is happening here.  I mean it literally when I say that in this essay I will prove that Garnet is not singing at Spinel the way she was singing at Jasper, or just singing while Spinel is present, but singing to her.  Alongside a rundown of everything likely going through Spinel’s head because of it.  Immediate disclaimer, this is not a ship thing, it’s a friends thing.  Underneath Read More because spoilers.

So, here it is, finally! The song I’ve been tirelessly working on since Monday! Ok, so, it’s been done for a few days, but still. This is called “Month of June,” and it was written to accompany Annie Christ’s story Fire Crotch and the Friend Zone Virgins. The lyrics are actually not mine. Annie herself wrote them, and they’re wonderful. I just took the lyrics and put them to some music. No big deal. I had so much fun working on this, and I’m so grateful that Annie Christ even let me do this fan-music for her!

So, just a quick thing, I just want to say that her story is wonderful and holds a special place in my heart. It has made me cry countless times—each and every time I read it—and it’s an absolutely heart-wrenching and beautiful work. I recommend for everyone, not only Kingdom Hearts fans, to go read it. You won’t regret it. I don’t.

Also, a HUGE thank you to Franki, who drew the beautiful album art you see up there. I had no idea it was for me until Annie told me and oh God. You’re wonderful. It’s beautiful and you’re so talented. You’re both so talented. 

Lyrics are as follows:

Chorus: I’ve got the month of June on my side Burning on through the cocaine and whiskey high Pine box mama don’t let the ground get you down We’ll move along, move along 

Verse 1: Cradled on the treetops, there’s shelter where my baby resides Eight months of cobalt blue, this is my reason to stay alive You’re not locked away This vault is not your home She’s gonna know your name before she knows my own

Chorus

Verse 2:  I never put a fucking ring on your finger But there’s something priceless here that we have to remember Pushing lungs and a lack of syringes Sleepless nights and those beer-hunting pledges You’re my Jack Daniel’s romance And what we had is forever

Chorus

So yeah… excuse me as I go cry. This song and the story it comes from gives me so many feels it’s ridiculous. But before I go, the technical stuff as usual. Mac Mini, Protools, M-Audio 2-channel interface, MXL 990, SM 57. NO AUTOTUNE. Ever. As for instruments, I have 2 vocal tracks, 3 cello tracks, an acoustic guitar track, a cajon drum and rainstick track for percussion.

And with that, enjoy.

BABIES. YOU CAN ALL GO BUY IT NOW.

So I tried to sleep and remembered I promised to reblog this tonight. Well, technically it’s one in the morning and I missed the “tonight” deadline by an hour, but oh well. Here’s “Month of June” again, appropriately reblogged in the… month of June. xD
