hey, guys? one last thing before i totally log out of this account. the last thing i did on here before getting shadowbanned was put “free palestine” in my bio. i’m not trying to say that was why i got shadowbanned. but it is quite peculiar, isn’t it?

[shiftedelsewhere]

1 and 12 for the ask game? :)

OKAYYY!! here we go

1) what are 3 things that shaped you into who you are?

a. the legend of zelda breath of the wild. right off the bat. i swear to FUCKING god i got this game when i was a wee little lad (like..11) and I'd never been so intensely drawn to something before. i never really looked at nature and thought anything about it until i saw the opening sequence to this game. and i never really thought about music until i heard mipha's theme. and i never really thought about art till i saw a memory cutscene and was like "i wanna draw them". and i never really thought about writing till i read zelda's diary in hyrule castle (I'm not really a writer but it really encouraged me to improve my methods of articulation because i wanted to sort of tonally mimic the kind of vibe all the text in the game has). i can't say anything else has had such a major impact on my personal development (and my interests 7+ years down the line) than this game has. playing it genuinely altered the course of my life and led me to some of the greatest experiences i've ever had. i haven't picked it up in a while. I should.

b. kero kero bonito. i was in grade 5 and flamingo was everywhere (pre tiktok. i mean when the funny bird video was popular on youtube) and i was so weirdly curious about who would make such a thing? i accidentally ran into their album Time n Place for the first time that day. at first me and my 10-year-old, underdeveloped prefontal cortex ass had no idea what the fuck was going on with the weird noises but i couldn't stop listening. i stopped really liking music for a while. and then when i was around 12 I got really into main pop girls like ariana and beyoncé and - of course - taylor. we were in quarantine and i was so numb that i just wanted some happy, easily digestible music to keep me afloat. when i started high school things were starting to open up again, but i was at a totally different school with a bunch of people i didn't know, and i was really lacking in social skills because 1) lost 3 years of personal development to covid and 2) autism and/or ocd probably. something. and i'd never felt so damn alone before. i'd been bullied heavily in elementary but i always had SOMEONE. but back then i was so lonely and nobody could help, so i turned inwards and somehow ended up relistening to time n place. fast forward to like may of that year and i was scrolling through youtube while doing my math homework or something and found the fantano interview with porter where he talks about working with kkb. I've probably chronicled this entire thing before. but essentially anything interesting i listen to, i owe to kero kero bonito. i need them to drop another album. it would fix me

c. the city of cambridge massachusetts. i dont know how much i talk about this but I'm a huge nerd and i spend a large sum of my time studying math and physics and what have you. a couple years ago i realized i had no idea what i wanted to do for university and shit so i got curious and looked up schools. obviously i did my due diligence about schools NEAR me that are ATTAINABLE but i was weirdly curious about ivy league schools, my favourite of which ended up being harvard because i mean. look at it. i jokingly asked my mom if we could go visit it and go on some tours of other colleges (namely MIT lmao) and she actually said yes??? so i went on my first trip to Boston (Cambridge i guess) and I've never felt SO drawn to a place before. everything about the culture and history over there intrigued me, and i felt more at home over there than i do in my own nearby big city. i had so much fun over there, i fell hopelessly in love with the mbta (for whatever reason. it's not very good and there's always a closure on the red line ARRGHHHHHHH. GRRRRR). i said that i needed to do everything i could to go back there one day, including applying to a summer program at a...specific...red-bricked....school....over there for shits and giggles and actually getting in lmfao. so i went to that School back in july and it was genuinely the first time i ever felt like i fit in anywhere. my friends in Boston really Cared. i still talk to a lot of them. and they were never dismissive of me and they were just as excited about things i enjoyed as i was! a couple of them are really into alternative music (and i got one of them on the jane remover train,, god bless) and i really felt like they wanted me around. like there was a place for me in that group. anyways. whoever said "you'll find your place at college" really wasn't kidding around lmao. i feel like that experience reshaped the way i feel about my current crappy highschool social group. it's like,, i have hope now that these just aren't my people. and that there ARE people for me out there, just not over here. and i don't know! i stopped taking people's shit after that since i know that i will never see them again after a couple months hahahaa. so i love boston. good job boston. fix ur transit though fr. no more closures from alewife to Kendall. STOP it

12) what's some good advice you want to share?

everybody has bad days! don't worry! it's not the end of the world, there's always tomorrow! you can do it! I'm ready to support your next effort! I'm always here for you!

kidding

OOOHHHH. i'm not really qualified to give out advice since I'm always fighting demons (jkjkjkjk) but lately the most applicable things to me that've helped me a lot are - first of all - to realize that some people just won't like you, and it's not worth your energy trying to convince them otherwise. you can't please everybody, and barely anyone is special enough for you to change yourself for them. stop taking people's BULLSHIT and do what you want. this year I've made it a point to stop being so embarrassed of having interests that don't really overlap with my peers. part of that stems from having communities like this hellsite where i feel a lot less alone about things i like, but i think it's also helped me start to feel like myself again. i'd been watering myself down to appeal to people who don't give two shits about me. that's not fair!! if you're weird, then be weird!! don't try to be anything other than yourself, you'll start to forget the things that make you unique. ALSO! be kind to others but don't forget that you're a person too. you're human, you're alive, you're allowed to live and breathe and take up space. that's your right. you can't just remove yourself from the equation. when i was really at my lowest i'd often say shit like, "i don't know how anyone else will react but myself. so i'd rather make sure everyone else is having a better time than I am, because i don't have to make a problem out of it." DUDE. BULLSHIT!!!!! you're not less than ANYONE!! don't suppress your own needs. also, eat something. and drink some water. dawg. don't pass out. no matter where you are in life right now, it gets better, i assure you. trust the process and never forget who you are and what you need. <3

38 and 11!

THANK YOUU FOR THE QUESTIONS!!! my ask box is like. majorly broken right now so i didn't see this for a while. but

11) what is something u consider to be romance?

fascinating. something i haven't truly experienced but i imagine to be quite miserable (jkjkjk). i feel like there's got to be some sort of feeling. I've had crushes before and shit like that but i kind of felt nothing for them. a little bit of a "butterflies-in-your-stomach" type vibe and a desire to be around them, but I've had more intense friend crushes lmfao. i don't know, but i hope i find out someday.

38) favourite song at the moment?

Hrmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. currently i'm FIRMLY back in my census designated phase but ive talked about that album at length so..

I've been getting increasingly into jpegmafia as of late. i haven't heard his whole discography yet but I'm really drawn to the beats on his albums, scaring the hoes and i lay down my life for you. in particular i really really fuck with steppa pig (from sth), it's dark and hell is hot, either on or off the drugs, and loop it and leave it (from ldml).

other than peggy i still love mk.gee so much. i finally got around to listening to his previous album museum of contradiction and I'm so bummed that I hadn't listened to it before, since the song "cz" is EXACTLY the thing i would've looped when i was studying in Boston over the summer. fuckin 10pm on a Thursday sitting at the bridge and listening to cz as i watched the Charles river flow. knowing damn well i didn't finish my pset. that's the kind of vibe the song demands. i still love it right now.

i SWEAR i will stop yapping soon but. american football. it's autumn of course I'm listening to American football. ethel cain's new cover of "for sure" is so beautiful. there we go. I'm done. no essays here nuh uh.

oh wait. OKAY one more song. magic i want u by jane remover. she released it the DAY i went back to school and honestly it weirdly was the exact thing i needed being there at 6:30 in the morning. it's a cute little sparkly thing and maybe the first happy song she's ever made? i imagine it feels a lot like what romance feels like. but like the early stages. having a huge crush on someone and that little high. i don't know. it's also just a banger. NOW IM DONE

thank you so much for the asks..i'm probably not gna formally reblog the ask game just because of my inbox being in flames (each time i click on it it says i have no messages. and then i check the side thigny and it says i have messages. like. why) but i love answering Questions and interacting w people a Lot <3 :))

i'm worried that palestinian fundraisers have been slowing dramatically the past few weeks because people think their goal numbers are 'a lot of money', and ignore them.

so, as the one-year mark of this ongoing genocide approaches, i'd ask you to think seriously about how much money it costs just to keep yourself alive for an entire year. $15,000? $10,000? could you live off just $5,000? for a whole year?

since losing his job and his house to the israeli bombing, mohammed iwais has been supporting his 27-person family on gofundme donations equivalent in total to about $50k USD, or roughly $1,852 per person.

i am asking you to think about the reality of what this means for a family undergoing repeated displacements, bullet wounds, other medical emergencies, and now homelessness—in an occupied country that is being brutally price-gouged and cut off from even basic humanitarian aid by military border blockades.

mohammed's fundraising goal has not yet been met, and he's going to update his gfm page to reflect that as soon as he gets a stable internet connection. until then, there's really only one question.

could you live off what the iwais family has raised so far?

verified / donate

[transmutationisms]

i'm extremely worried about this family and i'd like to get them to kr525,000 by thursday. please keep sharing & donating!
