That was beautiful.

Grand Festival was peak. ABSOLUTE PEAK! 🗣️🔥🔥🔥

As someone who was on Team Future, I would celebrate any team regardless who one. Seeing Team Past winning got me emotional (in a good way)... it's almost like the results were paying homage to Splatoon 1, and the Squid Sisters, to where it all started. The star in the sky. The Calamari Inkantation to this series that I grew up with ever since Splatoon's debut in the E3 2015 trailer.

I'll forever follow and cherish this series... 9 years and forever more. 🥹💕

In terms of the Splatfest results, our team getting zero points feels poetic. I see the number "zero" as the start of everything, the number of nothing, the number that can become something, the infinite, the endless — it resembles the future in a way. Endless, infinite! It's a mentality I need to practice more, to be honest: Zero can be mean many things, but it can also mean the beginning of things; 'nothing' will eventually become 'something'. I've never been more excited to be on a losing team and I'm saying that with my heart on my sleeve.

All of the results for each team feel poetic to me!

But seriously... thank you Splatoon 3! Content updates may have ended, but they did say they'll have special splatfests/past big run/eggstra reruns until then.

All in all, what an absolute blast I had these past few days during Grandfest. The performances, the atmosphere, the new music?? And seeing everyone else posting about their own experiences, it genuinely felt like an event we all went to in-person, we all got to experience that as a community. 🥹

Man, I love Splatoon.

*taps the mic* hello loaf here

Spoilers for chrono trigger

Uh huh so you know the ending "what the prophet seeks" (i tried to put in the screen recording of the ending but tumblr is mean with videos) with the

"If I have to vanish from existence to see this done, then I shall welcome that fate."

Bro knew

He knew

Magus knew that even if he defeated Lavos in the Ocean Palace it would erase him from the timeline

(important information to know with beyond time's eclipse )

And we see later on in the ending the future hasn't changed, there is still no Zeal

He failed

:(

I just got a frappechino for the first time since quarantine started and that shit NUKED my stomach oh my god

[loafbud]

I've been imagining the physical appearance comparison of domesticated Doopadoos VS wild Doopadoos, and I can't help but see their differences being similar to bunnies VS hares

i wish tumblr still let us do our own personal year in reviews with our blogs :(

Something I feel that kind of helps with managing my discomfort/anger when I'm dealing with my reactions of hearing a misophonia trigger:

If I can still hear ANY ounce of my triggers while im playing noise through my headphones...... I 'change the station'

For example, if I hear it while I'm playing Balanced Noise (via the iphone Background Sounds feature), I switch it to the Dark Noise option.

Most of the time I also have noise playing while I have a no commentary, no in-game voicing gameplay in the background (again, no vocals because that's where my triggers come from)... and the station-change thing applies to this as well: hear a trigger irl? change the video!

This helps with me because if I change my noise, then I'm not reminded of the misophonia trigger I just heard. Vice versa, if I kept the same noise and/or video playing, I'd only feel my reaction seething in my chest until, eventually, I'd have to retreat and isolate to cry it out or blast music in my headphones to do what I call a 'soundwash' — rinsing away the gunk out of my brain.

I just had a realization: So where I live, the youngest legal age you have to be to get a job is 16. Ever since then, I've never had a single job in my life. No employment, no 9-to-5, no full-time, no part-time, no nothin'. And I'm currently 26... so that means I've been unemployed for over a decade. How did I go that long???

Thank yall for sticking around

I know it's like,, thanksgiving is tomorrow and it's like "give thanks" but i'm serious when i say id say this any other time

I may say the stupidest shit or drop a self-deprecating post out of nowhere, or get extra vent-y and say dumb stuff that I regret (I do in fact love kittens and do not hate them, it's just I never been around one before— but admittedly they are a bit too energetic for someone as sedentary as me & I did allow it to overstimulate me... Life is a learning experience)

....But aside from that annoying "woe is me" side of me that i'm allowing myself to be more mindful of (I accept that none of this process will be a smooth, linear route— i'm gonna have ups and downs throughout, but hopefully catch myself more and more right before the moments I fall)

...And aside from the stresses of life in general, I'm genuinely glad to have yall here. 🥹 Like...... A few years ago I was actually very hesitant on opening Asks because I was nervous with interacting w/ people, but i'm glad I did decide to open them. I've always been too online so aside from my family, the internet is pretty much the only type of social interaction I have atm— and when I feel like sharing whatever, let it be art or just my thoughts, tumblr is usually the first place I go to share that. There's other social media, but Tumblr is the only place that doesn't make me feel drained or not good enough.

From the questions, to the convos, to the users and anons... thank you!!
