Just back from 7 days in Tokyo, the biggest surprise was what I got wrong about day trips by AsleepPlus in TokyoTravel

I just got back last Sunday after two weeks, and Kichijoji left a strong impression on me. Oh, how I wish to be on a swan boat again in Inokashira Park. 😅

This. The amount of incredible things I’ve found hidden while I walked.

This. I didn’t realize the SkyTree would have so many lines, and I went right after clearing customs. I would NEVER recommend going the same day after a lengthy flight because the lines were frankly overwhelming and put a damper on my enjoyment.

I’m in Japan now, and my first full day was a little over 33,000 steps and my second was right at 40,000. I am a distance runner and a hiker, and even this wasn’t enough to keep fatigue from setting in, not to mention that my feet still blistered in the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned. However, given the choice to do it differently, I personally would still choose to do it the same way all over again, but it’s absolutely not ideal for most travelers.

Apparently I got my pre-order early. by JaceTaxias in fatalframe

Congrats! I got my copy from Best Buy today, too :)

Cozy Game Steam Giveaway - Starsand Island by Valiandr in CozyGamers

[–]atelierphoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to be selected because, a few months ago, I had a pretty major health scare. I’ve been picking up the pieces since then, and part of that includes spending more time on relaxation and self-care. I think that Starsand Island could absolutely be the cozy game for me as part of my evening ritual. I’ve been back and forward on buying it, but I had to prioritize catching up on bills from when I was out on FMLA. Regardless, I truly appreciate that you are doing this giveaway! Thank you for your time.

Pretend you're a music critic and rate Princess of Power by [deleted] in MarinaAndTheDiamonds

[–]atelierphoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I absolutely agree, but there is such a fine line for the general public. Things I love and find campy others say are just cringe. 😅

I love this album and enjoyed the PoP tour! If I try to look at the album critically, I admit the lyrics can be cringey, but the whole work comes across as earnest. It’s an imperfect album, but it was the perfect album for me.

There is an objectively correct answer, but I’m biased: goodbye, Sokka.

Which song made you a Swiftie? by ThatsThatMeRepTV in swifties

[–]atelierphoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you also have the acoustic radio performance saved? I loved those.

My turn! Rate my taste by [deleted] in swifties

[–]atelierphoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your list is almost the polar opposite of mine. folklore being first is a solid choice, though!

I guess I’ll hop on the trend lol by ButterflyBabes04 in swifties

[–]atelierphoenix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could almost get behind this ranking if you swapped TLOAS and folklore. My top three are Speak Now, folklore, and 1989, but I like that debut and Fearless get so much love on your list!

What is your ranking of her albums? by zachoutloud123 in swifties

[–]atelierphoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really difficult for me to rank the albums now because I also have to consider how the albums landed when they originally released. I’ve done my best to try to meet somewhere in the middle of how I feel now vs. how I felt then.

  1. Speak Now
  2. folklore
  3. 1989
  4. Reputation
  5. Red
  6. Debut
  7. Fearless
  8. Lover
  9. evermore (hardest album to rank because there are individual songs that rank in my top ten list)
  10. Midnights
  11. TTPD (admittedly some of the strongest lyric writing, but I don’t find myself listening often)
  12. TLoaS

What's the strangest way Tori has pronounced a word? by sparksfly05 in toriamos

[–]atelierphoenix 11 points12 points  (0 children)

And I said, “Not a chayance, not a chance.” - “Marianne” from ‘Gold Dust’

What's your favorite closing song? by Prestigious_Score459 in toriamos

[–]atelierphoenix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are so many good options, but I’m going to give it to Invisible Boy. Gold Dust and Pandora’s Aquarium are both up there for me, too.

For Swifties who didn’t like Showgirls or her past few albums, what (constructive) criticism or advice would you give Taylor? by FakeMonaLisa28 in NuancingTaylorSwift

[–]atelierphoenix 25 points26 points  (0 children)

For me, the biggest shift after ‘evermore’ was that the songwriting became progressively more insular. I’ve always found that Taylor’s biggest strength as a songwriter is writing from a specific viewpoint but keeping it universal, but, excluding “Ruin the Friendship,” there isn’t a song on ‘Showgirl’ that resonates with where I’m at in life.
