sadly i had to scrape off some old stickers because they were tattoo stickers and felt melty to the touch, BUT it gave me a good excuse to pull out my sticker packs and re-decorate it!!! the only thing that remained was the noodle zhongli in the center

Toki's Top Ten Films (for one reason or another) for the Stuff I Love: Top Ten Edition Challenge 1 /o/

1. The Birdcage
My ultimate comfort movie. I have watched it so many times I can recite it word by word. I think of the drag number rehearsal scene with Robin Williams bursting into a celebration of dance daily. "Keep your goddamn pinky down." "Purple mountains majesty..." "FUCK the shrimp!" "It's ours." I love found family and elder queers and the pointed questions on what exactly it means to perform masculinity or femininity. It's been 20+ years and Val is still clearly the villain of the film it drives me insane (bro was also not a compelling actor lmaooo.)

2. The Mummy
Did I enjoy the 2nd film? Yes! But it's the first one I always think of and have watched repeatedly. I adore Evie. She and Rick develop so sweetly together. As a dyke I look at Brendan Fraiser in that movie specifically and think **GENDER** because his looks give soft butch to me and I've never gotten over it. The movie has action, adventure, comedy and to quote a friend, "Sometimes a 6/10 movie is your 10/10 movie." It's perfect to me!!!!!!!!

"YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RIVEEER!"

3. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
I rewatched the trilogy (movie 4&5 do not exist to me, I've never seen them and I never will) recently but the first movie really wraps up so nicely on its own I can just watch it on repeat. Jack/Will/Elizabeth are the disaster throuple of my heart. JackWill is my current obsession. Elizabeth/Anamaria and Elizabeth/Norrington are my 'Elizabeth goes on a gender and sexuality journey,' pairings. The soundtrack is bomb. The reveal of the undead curse on Barbossa's crew is SO SICK. I love attractive people being wet and windswept all the time. Jack Sparrow is a bisexual terrorist who will join or break up your marriage and I think that's beautiful.

4. Batman: The Dark Knight
One of my BATMAN MOVIES OF ALL TIME (tm). I watched this film in theaters when it came out and my mouth dropped open in shock and joy every scene. I left the theater fannish and electrified. I was in batjokes comms on LJ and this movie was like finding a strange, new buffet. Heath Ledger is my 2nd favorite Joker (Mark Hamill you will always be #1) and he fits so seamlessly into Nolanverse that I believed him for every second. His first two on screen appearances are written so tightly, I've never seen such a great example of "You do not know what this guy is going to do and it is TERRIFYING." The interrogation scene is one I rewind over and over endlessly.

5. Muppet Treasure Island
My favorite Muppet movie. "Professional Pirate," is my favorite musical number. Tim Curry is an amazing Long John Silver and I love that Miss Piggy canonically had a fling with him. I am weak to tiny outfits and there are soooo many cute ones for all the muppets. It's a fun film with a strong heart and across multiple adaptations, I often look for stories set in the future where Jim has found Silver again. I like their dynamic as a father/son or as a romantic couple \o/

6. Winnie the Pooh
One of The films of my childhood. There is something so gentle and slow moving about the original film - I love the animation of the trees and homes of all the animal friends. My wife's nickname for me is Blondie Bear and she frequently references "silly old bear," it never fails to make me smile.

7. But I'm A Cheerleader
There were many formative gay movies in my youth but this one stood above the rest. Natasha Lyonne and Clea Duvall??? Their chemistry was insaaaaaane. This movie toed the line between comedy and critically showing the harm in gay conversion camps. I loved the Ex-ex-gays and the building of community - and the ending cheerleader scene... Sapphic feels forever hhhhhh.

8. Tarzan
Upon rewatch as an adult, this shot high up on my list. Phil Collins' soundtrack still makes me emotional. I love the anatomy developed for Tarzan, and that he is a character who is so, so gentle. I believe his love story with Jane fully. I believe if Jane had been a man it would have ended up the same way.

9. Hook
Me realizing there are lots of flamboyant pirates on this list, lol. I guess I'm more into pirates than I thought. Hook was a surprise to me - Peter Pan isn't my favorite of Disney's films but this idea of a grown Peter returning really captivated me. The film was inherently magical because it captured Peter rediscovering his joy and a sense of play he gave up because he assumed he had to. The scene where he finally believes that the food is real is one of my favorites. And of course, Dante Basco as Rufio was such a scene stealer. I especially liked that regaining that belief is what allows him to connect and ultimately save his children from Hook.

10. James and the Giant Peach
Speaking of magic: one of my favorite stop-motion films (honestly, I debated which Tim Burton film would inevitably make this list and decided it had to be this one.) Of all the images, the warm glowing light from inside the peach has stuck with me all these years. The insect friends are all friends I know would have cured my fear of insects much earlier and I enjoyed at the end of the film they got to live out their dreams in New York. The live action segments aren't bad at all but the highlights for me were the stop-motion elements.

I have discovered a new old Dracula, one even newer and older than my previous preferred new old Dracula: Mörkrets makter ("Powers of Darkness"), the likely-unauthorized Swedish version. It's nearly twice as long as the original, reframes Dracula as the head of a social darwinist conspiracy, and nobody realized it was different from the English version until a few years ago.

There's two secret draculas like this. at least two. maybe more undiscovered. whatever. The first is an Icelandic version, about one-third as long as the English version, but with a much longer exploring-Dracula's-haunted-castle section and a really rushed ending. Somehow it took over a hundred years for people to catch on that this was not the same thing as the original book, but it got an English translation in 2017. This is what I had already read; it's not as good as Stoker's version but I really like the additions to the haunted castle sequence.

The 2017 translation is what tipped off the folks in Sweden that they also had a variant instead of a straightforward translation. The Swedish version was serialized in a newspaper by an unknown translator just a couple years after Dracula Classic was published. Like the Icelandic version, it features an expanded haunted castle sequence... because this one was the source text that the Icelandic one was abridging. But instead of that rushed ending, it keeps going and going, accumulating more and more differences from the English version.

idk i just think it's neat. dracula forever

[Youtube] Sir_Superhero’s backstory breakdown of Wonder Man in the comics. I only ever saw scattershot appearances of the guy, never knew his whole deal, so this was cool and enlightening. (Haven’t actually watched the MCU show yet, I’ll be curious to see which parts they keep.)

AMA with Jed MacKay on League of Comic Geeks. Fun insights and tidbits about the Moon Knight comics, along with the other projects he’s working on.

[Youtube] A for Angel, a pilot for Cartoon Network that I guess was stuck in rights/development hell, and finally got released? By the creator of the webcomic Angel’s Advocate (also started but not continued, maybe because of the cartoon being in production), and you can see a lot of the character designs coming through, although the plot and worldbuilding seem pretty different. Charming and adorable.

Sporadic Phantoms, a fictional true-crime podcast…set in a 2020-AU version of the Animorphs universe. There’s something weird about The Sharing, these amateur journalists are starting to think it’s a cult, and they’re here to investigate! I’m only a few episodes in, but the continuity bonuses are [chef’s kiss].

Promo image of the MCs from Cosmic Princess Kaguya

For most of the time I was watching Cosmic Princess Kaguya, I was thinking “Well, this is cute. The animation is excellent, the designs are a lot of fun…the plot is pretty basic, and the video-game fight sequences do not need to go on for this long, but it’s still a good time.”

And then I got to The Reveal — maybe 20 minutes from the end — and thought “…wait, hold up, I might need to rewatch the whole thing now??”

Somewhere in the middle, I had actually noticed that [Character] was animated with an expression that’s very characteristic of [Other Character], and idly thought “huh, maybe they’re connected somehow.” How many more hints like that did I miss? How many can I catch now, if I watch with The Reveal in mind?

Not sure if there’s much else I can say without spoiling it! But yeah, quite good. If you like grumpy/sunshine canon f/f, with internet friendships, weird fantasy age gaps, the power of expressing yourself through virtual avatars, and the power of music, don’t miss this one.

i made lemon cookies last weekend! it was my first new-to-me cookie recipe in what im hoping will be A Year Of Cookies. im trying to make more homemade sweets and really cut down on the desserts i buy at work. im picky about how and when i have sugar these days, but for a while i kept the habit of buying candy on my way out of work. kind of silly, really—i have a whole drawer of chocolate im slowly winnowing down

but a homemade cookie. that’s an experience worth having regardless of what else is on offer

they came out quite well. the lemony flavor wasn’t synthetic at all despite using store brand lemon extract, which i felt could go either way. i brought some to work to give my favorite manager, and she liked them so much that after she forgot to bring them home, she came in on her day off to get them! she’s such a sweetheart. she’s working towards a promotion at another store, so im glad i get to give her cookies while she still works here

i want to try something very different next. maybe oatmeal raisin? or a chocolate chunk. many possibilities abound in the world of cookies

here’s the recipe if you’d like to give it a go yourself :-)

F tumblr right now for being dead LMAO, but it's moments like these + having a community of art mutuals on bluesky that sometimes makes me wish i was more active there ... but i just. don't have the energy to be there, to keep up with everything, and that makes me feel shitty. i wish i could be there for all of my art friends to see their stuff, reblog, etc etc ... but every time i get on it feels. sapping, like my energy is a cut lifeline that seeps out

i wonder why. maybe it's because it is an art account, so there's a weird Expectation that hangs over my brain to be active, present, give energy i do not easily have to spare. sheezy art was the same. forever a lingering guilt that i can't interact as easily, knowing how much it sucks to get a lack of interaction in return

at least on tumblr i do that with ease on my personal blog, to reblog art of my friends/mutuals when it comes around, and to at least be like #HRGRHGRJGHRGH in the tags. sucks there's some weird mental barrier keeping me from doing it elsewhere. maybe it is because tags feel quieter than a comment, where it feels like i have to articulate myself better than a keysmash of enjoyment because it's so Public

anyway, random thoughts

Snowflake Challenge: A flatlay of a snowflake shaped shortbread cake, a mug with coffee, and a string of holiday lights on top of a rustic napkin.

Challenge #15: How Did the Fandom Snowflake Challenge Go?
I liked having a reason to talk about the things I like prompted. I met some cool people, and even became mutuals with at least one, so that's great and the Snowflake Challenge wasn't a complete bust. All in all I think it went well for me! And I'm really glad this challenge has been held annually for so long.

This is a personal skill issue, but making such long posts so often made me feel annoying. (The length of the posts is a choice but I'm talkative when given the chance to be, so...) I might not participate next year, or I will only via commenting, but that doesn't mean I think it's bad.

One thing: I know it didn't do well in the polls, but I think having Grant a Wish as a challenge is a good idea and it should stay. People should not only ask for things, but give too. And I'm not just saying that out of greed, because I didn't have any of mine granted. SPEAKING OF, I didn't write about it but I did grant at least 3 wishes, so please include in the record that I completed Challenge #11 too ☝🏾

Thanks to the mods, volunteers, and my subscribers for sticking around! ❄️

i will try my best to keep this up as i go along!!!! if ... anything of note happens!!!! i gotta eventually find some format i like ... maybe i'll begin logging these in my daily notes of obsidian then just markdown formatting them back here

warframe: did weekly tower this go around, and finally got around to nuking some weapons to let in some new primes i've bee building ... it really sucks because i dunno what weapons are worth keeping and what's good to delete. that's not a worry for me right now anyway, the ones i got rid of weren't prime weps anyway. rhino still needs an hour to be subsumed so i can put roar on obby's kit ... :/

i still have mixed feelings on oberon's kit rework, imo im still not fully pleased with it. i guess removing his healing may make it a little more interesting to balance getting his invul stacks back up.

tomodachi life: kaveh and zhongli getting into an argument was the funniest thing ever like guys. guys why are u throwing shit at each other. not mentioned that happened yesterday was zhongli doing the 'catch the item' minigame and dropping an engagement ring ... like sir, is this for sylvie ...

genshin: average skill mat farm day for columbina mats. she is now up to ... 1/10/9, i'll probably get her normal just up to level 6. i'm debating if i wanna level my supports beyond level 70 to 80 ... or even 90. i'm so used to 90 --> main dps or a strong sub dps | 80 --> sub dps | 70 --> support or healer ... moved yaoyao onto the magical girl staff since i forgot it's also HP based and more energy recharge to pop her ult is nice

at least lauma is hitting 183k now with her skill pops

new leaf: i installed the welcome amiibo version on my 3ds, and it seems like i can start a new town while still ... having my old one? which is JUST on new leaf ... i hope so. i'm sentimental about my first town so i'd like to NOT delete it if i can ... but if i have an opportunity to make a new one AND still keep my old one? why not. i'll make sylvie in it :]

that's one of the things i'm not sure about. is the save file logic shared between the physical cartridge (which i have) and the digital? is it all on the SD card? cause then the digital new leaf SHOULD see my physical town data (mostly cause sometimes i don't wanna take out tomodachi life which is also a physical cartidge and just pop between the two). i could also just download both digitally and not worry but ehhhhh. im more likely to revisit tomodachi life right now

edit: ok so my save file is ONLY for my physical card, which is perfect; i can just play the digital new leaf and make a new town there with sylvie instead!!!! that will be my goal for tonight

edit 2: town layout rerolling sucks but after an hour i got a pretty decent one!!! retail near beach, plaza central (almost) and mayor building is next to it, secret beach, and a pretty straight path from top to bottom

Something I'm grateful for recently is that I got a scholarship/free spot for a writing workshop series, Writing for Rage. My friends Trish and Venky recommended it to me. It's six sessions, and after the first two, I find myself better at experiencing my anger as anger rather than hardening it into depression. We were given journal prompts to write about in our own time:

How do you envision your rage? Envisioning how I want my rage to express itself. I want my rage to be powerful. Because I have felt the most enraged when I was made helpless, when control was wrested from me, and when I was unable to protect myself. I wish to be destructive with no consequences. My rage so powerful that I don't have to say NOBODY MESS WITH ME, everyone gets it. It's a foregone conclusion. And so nobody dares mess with me. Because whatever they do to me, my rage will do worse. I think of Kali. Vengeful rage that ensures there are no repeat offenders.

What would the world be like if anger was normalised? People would be more honest. It wouldn't be a matter of who is allowed to be angry, and at whom, and who isn't, who has authority over you and who doesn't. One's sense of when something is wrong would be sharper. Less guilt for making someone else uncomfortable when confronting them about how they made you uncomfortable.

This month's horoscope for Libra by Alice Sparkly Kat also talks about anger, with journalling questions about the safety of expressing it.

( February horoscope )

Questions for Libra for February 2026:

What happens in your body when you piss someone off?
My body feels like my life is under threat, even in a verbal confrontation.
TW: physical violence
My childhood consisted of physical punishments whenever my mother was angry, including beatings and one time when she strangled me. My body's reaction to anger directed at me now, as an adult, is a hangover from those childhood experiences when I felt scared for my life.

Is there anyone who you are comfortable pissing off?
Nope. I wish there was. This isn't just about being safe when their anger is directed at me, but about how willing they are to make repair efforts if we hurt each other's feelings. What if I am, but they aren't?

How do you want to make more decisions in those relationships where you are free to argue?
I don't think I have any such relationships. But if I did, I would try to understand why we each believe what we do. I would stand up for what I believe in.

The merch I bought last month finally arrived! Actually, the first parcel arrived weeks ago since the shipping went through an e-commerce app so it was faster, but I wanted to post them together. The images can be clicked so you can view the full image :)

Posting under a cut since there's 2 pics in there and I don't wanna take up too much reading page space.

( 276 words, 2 images )

Anyway, this is probably the consumerist side of me speaking, but getting merch always fills me with joy. I love how fanartists push the limits of fanmerch, in particular :") It mostly used to be just prints and stickers, but now there's a lot of variety!
