After Dark🫀

OR DO I JUST (STILL) NEED MORE THERAPY?

happy pride! remember that being a transgender is everything but fiction. there are so many real historical figures from every century about whose transgenderism we aren't even aware of

The dance used in the vast number of 2d anime-esque caramelldansen vids has nothing to do with Caramell; it came from a gif on 4chan referred to as “Popotan dance” that started as fanart of an adult visual novel because of course it did. Speedycake was making his remixes at the same time as people were making popotan dance gifs of everything, and the memes converged into a compound supermeme that swept the internet.

The video above is yet another fan-made video, using 12 characters from the iDOLM@STER series. (Hint: the band that created the song is Swedish, so anything obviously Japanese did not come from them).

The first official video released by Caramell was this version, six years after the song was first released and two years after it started to spread as a meme:

lol

Thank you @clonethirstingisreal and @unconsciousxreality (not fair I was gonna tag you) for the tags!! ☺️ I’m hella fucking tired from Memorial Day Weekend shifts and just started my technical weekend so what better way to start it than to describe current things in my life.

Last song: I’m technically the “DJ” at my job since I lent my Bluetooth Speaker to the Kitchen. So, I play a lot of random Spotify playlists I don’t know the songs 50% of the time. Spotify is saying it’s “All Time Low” by Jon Bellion, which I know nothing about. The last song I liked was “Dark Side” by SkyDxddy which I would love to draw an Animatic with.

Currently watching: I am currently on a movie binge with my s/o. We are watching the Hobbit Trilogy after finishing Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Also, I been watching him play the new Yoshi game, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, for the Switch 2!

Current obsession: Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. EVERYONE IS FALLING FOR CROSSHAIR HELP! Except Mimi and Hunter who IMMEDIATELY hit it off and made the 60$ on the game worth it. They are the only two married with a child.

Currently reading: If we are talking about actual books, then I’m reading Star Wars: Low Red Moon, Star Wars’ Bad Batch: Sanctuary, and refreshing myself of Homer’s The Odyssey before the movie comes out. Sadly; however, I don’t really have much time reading actual books right now. So I been also reading short one shot fanfics/headcanons.

Currently working on: the Star Wars Fanfic I been writing which STILL doesn’t have a name 😅 I need to come up with a name before I post the official first chapter. Also, my Drawing Every Day Challenge. Making lots of fanart of people’s OCs and will post more soon.

Last Google search: “Substitution for Garam Masala”. My job makes tikki masala chicken and it’s probably the most popular item on the menu and we been out of garam masala for weeks. It’s been hell and if another shift lead yells at me for not being able to make it, I will throw hands.

Currently Watching: I don't really watch a lot of shows, but am on my 15th relisten of Vincent Solaire's playlist from Redacted Audio. And I think that sorta counts as a show. Or, I guess, more akin to a radio play.

Current Obsession: Same as the answer above XD Vincent has taken over my brain chemistry. The selfship virus has infected me hard.

Currently Reading: Between Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost, which I originally started when I had no internet because it was about a vampire prince who has beef with a british vamp guy x electro human, like Vincent, the vampire prince with beef with a british vamp guy, and his listener with electro powers (found the book at a library sale a month before finding him. The library knows all, even the future, apparently, because that's a very specific pairing). But I'm also in a reread of Bite by K. S. Merbeth. Reminds me of Fallout, but if you followed the wacky tale of raiders instead, and they became a sort of found family.

Currently working on: Both some little one shots and two stories, and trying to work on art.

Last Google Search: Looked up an anime called The Unwanted Undead Adventurer, because it looked interesting. Only just found out about it a few minutes ago.
