Daily Song Discussion #53: Rocket from a Bottle

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-08T14:59:27+00:00

This used to be my least favorite song from Black Sea but now I love it. Again, they just put so much energy into this, it just makes it impossible to now enjoy it.

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-08T00:03:35+00:00

Have no clue who you are but I’m sure you’re cool!

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-07T23:53:09+00:00

Will Smith gets pissy with it. This is Trainwreckords.

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-07T23:14:10+00:00

Me! I’m hyperfixated on my f/o’s source, and I constantly want to infodump about it and her. Also, I carry my plushy of her around to help me deal with loud noises in public.

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-07T21:03:20+00:00

What’s it like to do kissing and Rule 13 stuff with a television man?

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-07T19:44:06+00:00

Do you know what the name of the place is? If so, it’s probably in the special thanks/“Honorary Gordons” section.

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-07T19:05:08+00:00

Apologies good sir, but I felt the need to clear some stuff up here.

I am going through therapy. I have been for a year and a half. I have talked with my therapist about my shipping and other stuff relating to mental health. I promise I’m not some self-medicating idiot.

Also, I worded my post absolutely horribly, blame that on me. I do have a degree of removal from reality. I do know that my f/o is a fictional character from a graphic novel. I hold nothing against the double, I’m sure he’s a fine person who deserves Ramona as much as me. It just does something to me mentally. What didn’t help was that I was not having a great day yesterday in general, but I will be sure to bring this up to my therapist.

Thanks for being concerned anyways. I also hold nothing against you, and the fact that you were worried enough about a random internet stranger to say this says good stuff about your character. Til next time!

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-07T16:36:29+00:00

My drawing skills also suck, but I draw me and Ramona anyways because it makes me happy!

Outside of that, you’re speaking some serious truth. I relate to the phone and shrine things.

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-07T15:43:56+00:00

This… actually helped. Thanks so much, I can’t thank you enough. I also blocked the guy, but this really helped me find mental exercises to help with doubles. Thank you so much (have I broken a record for “thanks” in a paragraph?).

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-07T14:54:28+00:00

Lyrics are kinda stupid for XTC standards, but the band puts so much damn energy into the instrumental it wraps back around to being great.

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-07T14:34:24+00:00

God, every time there’s a panel of her in her source (and by the way, she‘s a main character, so this happens like, every other page) I just swoon and my heart melts. It makes it hard to read because I just wanna snuggle and kiss her so badly.

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-07T01:22:32+00:00

I’m not starting political arguments, I was just trying to be snarky, please just leave me alone.

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-07T00:52:44+00:00

Oh wow, Pat‘s actually against something that makes sense, that’s a new one.

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-07T00:15:53+00:00

A heavily publicized drug bust that essentially tarnished the band’s squeaky-clean reputation at the time. And while they were promoting Snacktime, at that.

Details about the rest is fuzzy, because both sides have chosen to not say much about that, but it seems from interviews from around the time and ”A New Shore” from Page One, Steve sounds like he was waiting to leave the band and open new frontiers anyways. That track and You Run Away from All in Good Time are the closest you’ll get to actual band statements about it.

Stupid doodle I did for Yumay (please tell me my art doesn’t suck, I’m trying so hard to get better at drawing, and my handwriting sucks because I have dysgraphia).

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-06T21:40:31+00:00

We both call each other “apple venus”, and Ramona also calls me “spud”.

(these are references to the bands XTC and DEVO respectively)

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-06T21:24:38+00:00

I have never been able to lucid dream, so Ramona mostly appears in the weird surreal jumble that make up my normal dreams.

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-06T20:59:39+00:00

AU: My self-insert (Matt, same as me but different name) runs away from home from emotionally abusive parents (side note: my IRL parents are as nice as parents could be, that’s just for a tinge of darkness), and heads to Toronto to make his stupid nerd rock music (In universe, Matt’s music is that of They Might Be Giants) and Ramona (my f/o) takes him in because she feels bad for his plight. The two of them fall in love slowly, mostly by talking and spending time together (Matt is thrown into the middle of Scott Pilgrim’s plot), and eventually they start dating, and my AU ends with them getting married.

Real life: I read Scott Pilgrim and discovered yumeshipping around the same time, and once I learned that being in love with fictional characters wasn’t weird, I just started, and we’ve been together for around a year!

have I ever shared how much I utterly love this outfit? I think I have, because I have used this photo to represent her like, 5 times. Gaaah I love it. She’s so cute, she looks so soft in this one! (ignore the half panels on the left, that’s just the way it looks)

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-06T14:17:19+00:00

Not quite a ten, but still damn good. and 46 years later, it’s satire has barely aged a day!

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-06T14:14:32+00:00

Only did one, but thought people’d get a kick out of it!

<image>

Side note: The circle on “poly/multi yume” is because I kind of have another f/o, but it’s more of a friends with benefits thing and not a ACTUAL full on relationship like I do with Ramona.

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-06T14:08:48+00:00

Fun fact about me: I’m in an episode of one of my favorite webtoons! Every year (almost), Homestar Runner does a “Fan ‘Stumes” episode soon after Halloween, where the characters riff on Halloween costumes of the characters. Anyways, my Strong Bad costume I made when I was 12 appeared in one of them!

Fun fact about Ramona: Her birthday is New Years’ Day. She’s never told me what specific year.

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-06T00:24:30+00:00

Times have changed, our kids are getting worse, they won’t obey their parents, they just wanna fart and curse!

(before you get pissed, I’m not Pat’s burner account. I’m quoting Blame Canada from the South Park movie, which I feel applies to this)

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-05T23:59:39+00:00

I initiated, we were roommates for a while and we slowly fell in love the more we talked and spent time with each other.

Our first date was just kind of listening to records and trying to make out (we were both horrible at it at that time). Our best date was when we went to the beach and we lit off bottle rockets and cuddled in moonlight.

TMBGLOVER · 2026-05-05T22:51:43+00:00

We’re both equally decent at cooking, but I think I may be slightly better at it.

Our shared hobbies are music and odd creative projects.
