let me tell you about my niche interest 26 September, 2024 // Life
a few months ago we met up with family overseas, a much needed vacation since i haven't seen them for like... 6 years at the time?? fuuuuuuck... thats a whole different story
the only time i've ever left the UK was to go to the mid east so the only airline i ever remember flying on is Emirates. one of the things that caught my eyes on the tv interfaces was the sheer detail of it all. we're all familiar with frutiger aero, yeah? i'm pretty sure it would be classified under that
i think airlines are one of the very few places where you can still see the traces of corporations using skeuomorphism, i hope it NEVER changes because this is such a beauty to navigate. of course it was slow and laggy as hell, it's not gonna be some gaming monitor levels of smooth, but it's refreshing to see something that isn't so flat and lifeless. the name ICE just adds the cherry on top. like, it's ICE! it's cold and refreshing!
this is an image i took on our 2nd flight back home. there's definitely many more elements that captured the frutiger aero aesthetic but i only ever took a pic of the main page... RIP
Sparkle on! It's Autumn! Don't forget to frolick! 22 September, 2024 // Life
not much plans this autumn! IF EVER. i'm planning to revive my Stardew phase, i'm pretty sure it's almost autumn in my current save file as well.
I've personally felt pretty indefferent about autumn until i started playing Stardew Valley and realised how peaceful and nice the season is on there, it kind of carried over to my real life. Same with winter! but i only really liked the Stardew winters because Sebastian did, I love the guy. Also because of christmas and it's a pretty slow season but you know... i'm putting my favourite characters before me, of course
my comfort in stardew valley 24 April, 2024 // Gaming
i started playing stardew valley approx. 1 month ago and i don't think i've quit ever since. i got it on my ipad during a vacation in london and i somehow thought i'd get bored of it, i was so wrong! i eventually got it on my laptop, transferred my main save file to there and now i just have a shit ton of mods lmao.
it's really cool how you can build your own farm and marry hot people. i think this game is really nice because i can make up for how lonely i am irl, but also be a cool farmer girlboss, it's truly a fantasy. i rate this 20 stardrops out of 10!!!!
(By the way, I married Sebastian. Now you can rest easy.)
SCLPTURES of anything goes 14 April, 2024 // Music
oooh sclptures lore
when i thought it was time for a rebrand, i wanted something that related to my interests but was also fairly subtle. arctic monkeys was the only thing on my mind back then, so of course i made it something related to that. over time i realised how much i liked the name "sclptures" because not only is it related to a very wonderful song, but it was effective at being subtle, not in your face. if i were to name myself "sclpturesofanythinggoes" then everyone's gonna know what im referencing.
i'm sorry if this entry came off as me sucking my own dick, but i just thought it would be fun to share some (pretty vague) lore.
this song won't leave me alone, i don't remember the first time i listened to it but it was so long ago and im still so SO obsessed with it. i think a part of me likes it because i relate to it, here's the summary from the genius page:
This song shows Alex Turner struggling with his public persona. In the years since his main band, Arctic Monkeys, catapulted him to fame he has gone from a shy soft spoken young man to a rock icon-by the admission of his friends noticeably more comfortable in his own skin. On this track Alex seems to be confessing that even he is unsure who the real Alex is anymore.
now, of course i'm not ALEX TURNER, but i get the idea of forgetting your true self. i've always been so insecure that i felt the need to cover it up somehow, so i've put on a persona that i think is "cool" and "hip". i'm comfortable in it, but it makes me feel so... empty?? i mean this in the least parasocial way possible, but alex's relatability makes me like him even more.
it makes me wonder if it's worth it to sacrifice your sense of self at the expense of having others see you a certain way, but again, people change and evolve, so in a few years time i might just discover who i truly am.
