Here are my top 10 favourite albums this year. 2025 had plenty of good stuff drop, so not everything I enjoyed made this short list, I have a full list on my AOTY if you wanna see more: https://www.albumoftheyear.org/year-end/citysmartie/2025/
Other than that, let me know what you enjoyed this year from the world of music! Also lemme know your thoughts on any of the albums I have on this list, always curious to hear other peoples perspectives on stuff I like.

Here is some unused headlines I wrote for The Wasted Onion, they either didn’t get written or posted for being not good enough, too niche, or things not panning out. Who knows, can always circle back to any of them perhaps if I feel like it.

Today marks the 5 year anniversary of Auriali on Scratch. Made initially as a secret account. For those that don’t know, in the designer community on Scratch, designers sometimes create an account where they don’t reveal their identity to see if people can figure out who they are. Auriali was my attempt at that. It didn’t go well since I was discovered within a week. After that, I didn’t touch the account until a month after I created it. This is where I shared the first meme project to Auriali. Thus began the saga of Auriali being the dumping ground for stupid memes, silly projects and experimental design work that didn’t fit on da-ta or da-ta2. Over that time the account got a lot of lore and inside jokes, like how Auriali is canonically a girl or all powerful. Then when I created Auriali here on wasteof, it slowly developed from being like the Scratch account to just my alt account I use to share more frequent posts while this account stays monthly. And of course who can forget how Auriali became wasteof’s first president, pretty damn cool if you ask me.
With all of that said, thank you for your support! Whether it be on here or Scratch, Auriali has been a fun account and brand to develop over the years. This year has been full of milestones for me, 10 years of da-ta and 5 years of Auriali as well as ta’s hangout. Next year sees my alt accounts da-ta2 and AuriaIi (i instead of an L) turn 10 and 5 respectively, which is wild.
All there is left to say much love. 🩷

guys i don’t remember having to deal with so many people trying to kill me, overthrow my administration or even resurrect me to then kill me again when i was president, what is going on???
