If you are somebody who becomes infatuated, though your purpose at the time might SEEM to be to fulfill that infatuation, sexually if possible, no matter what, the true purpose is often simply to make or let the infatuation disappear.
Around a month ago my family and I went to see Blood Brothers live.
I don’t think me and Felix are anywhere near old enough to actually watch this play, but apparently it’s one of the most culturally significant things to come out of England, so we had to watch it.
I did ask Felix during the intermission if he thinks we would ever have been Mickey and Eddie if this happened to us, he said we don’t get along well enough to be them. Funnily enough he didn’t change his mind until the end of the play.
We probably wouldn’t be interested in the same girl. We probably wouldn’t rob are shoot anyone. And we wouldn’t shoot each other… probably.
(The play was really good, but the reason my family took us to watch it was because it’s the play I’m studying in English class this year. Something about studying a story for a full year makes me like it less, but even though I’m not a massive Blood Brothers fan, it was really great).
I wanted to see what BlazBlue dialogue would look like if it went throught the whole “Ran through Google Translate 100 times”-thing. I used https://www.ravbug.com/hypertranslate/ to do it and then modded that text into the game using WistfulHopes’s (AKA Aeryn) ATFText parser & PACFC to replace the string.atf file in Ragna’s story text file. Even for a couple sentences it takes a while to process, but the results are amusing to say the least.
The kids should fucks with me for my graphic and retouching skill alone.
But their loss.
My niece sent me a selfie she took, and I saw a heavy Boricua influence, which of course I leaned into with our Marcie From Da Block album parody of a certain large derrière and never seeming to age. I love that she is coming into her womanhood more and more and learning how to change up her style. She had a tendency to be more in a racially ambiguous space which lent itself to her mixed heritage, but part of her heritage is Puerto Rican nothing wrong with looking like a Latina chic.
ALTALT
I also did a light retouch/crop of the photo she sent me and then let the AI take a pass at creating a remix album-cover.
Curiously I am enhancing our text all the time with either a graphic I have created using Canva, since I don’t have ready access to Photoshop anymore, I find I can make Canva do the little things I want to do with some teasing.
The next thing I have been trying to gently push her towards is all the different body augmentations that women use, make up, acrylic fingernails, wigs, corsets, pantyhose. The child is going through this phase of not wanting to add anything unnaturally to her form, like electrolysis comes from the organic farm, but I am gonna let her rock. Hopefully she will get there eventually. I think half the fun of being a woman is all the things you can play with around that, realizing not one of them takes away from your womanhood.
Thinking about the idea of a God I Hate Shakespeare parody about Discord: “God I Hate Discord”
Probably Element is Nigel and all the other Discord alternatives are the ensemble, I guess Nick is just the frustrated alternative-enthusiast surrogate.
I’ve also never seen the musical so perhaps I’ll do that sometime and revisit this idea then.
