HOT TAKE TOURNAMENT!

PRELIMINARY #276

The best way to unblock a toilet is with your hands

I know everyone on this blog is super squeamish from whaat I've seen, but roll up your sleeves, stick your arm down the hole and pull out/break up the blockage manually. It takes thirty seconds. Then vigorously scrub your hands clean (hop in the shower afterwards if you like) and that's it. Done. I do not understand why anyone needs a plunger.

Don't you just wish this blog had stayed on hiatus?

Anyway, propaganda is always encouraged!

And remember to reblog your favourite polls for exposure!

if you're cringing at the genre conventions of the genre you are writing in then why the hell are you writing in it. either have something substantial to say about those conventions or shut the hell up! i will not cringe alongside you at superhero powers and spaceship battles and big eldritch worms and bone magic. i came to this story to SEE that shit and I don't appreciate it when an author tries to pretend they're above the very things they're selling themselves on

#the person in the notes saying game journos is so real #love your medium and your genre or get out

I’m so normal and sane and not obsessive about Rick in outfits that show his chest

[lokis-wager]

summer reminding rick of diane is really sweet but what’s even sweeter to me personally is how nothing like that has ever been said about morty, rick has never met or liked anyone like morty before, that’s why he’s the most special thing in the universe to rick and losing him would be like losing everything because morty is better than anything he’s ever known or thought of

[lokis-wager]

in mortys head he imagined to tear the entire fear hole apart by conquering all his fears to rip rick out of it because he couldn’t give diane up, but in real life rick saw a way to see her but he didn’t even go in at all. when rick and morty first met he would have done anything and thrown everything away to get diane back but now. to say he’s ‘over diane’ definitely isn’t the right way to say it but now its morty who is his number 1 priority and what he’s willing to do anything for. which he always has been, but now there’s no longer an overarching goal lurking behind that. morty is quite literally his whole life

My work boots are the most expensive shoes I’ve ever owned.

Also the most comfortable. I chose them after trying on several different brands and comparing lifespan vs usage vs comfort - I needed them for a physically demanding job, not the weekend hiking trails. I could have easily chosen cheaper boots that would have lasted long enough to be worth their low price, but I know the Sam Vimes Boot Theory and knew weaker, less comfortable boots would make my life harder in the long run.

So when the outside edge of the heel started wearing down after three years of heavy use I went to the shop I got them from and said “hey this is a common problem for me with how I walk but now it’s affecting my ankles and knees and I don’t wanna have to buy a new pair, is there a way to fix this?”

The salesman at this very fancy upscale boot store said “oh yeah, there’s a shoe repair place that can give you some heel guards - it’ll keep the rubber from wearing out.”

So at 8am this morning right after my 9hr shift ends I went to the shoe repair shop and it is the most hole-in-the-wall, is-this-a-real-business-or-a-mafia-front, am-I-gonna-get-shot tiny cinder block cube I’ve ever seen in my life. I grew up plenty poor and love me a good hole-in-the-wall business, but going from upscale store to this cash-only repair shop gave me whiplash. Wasn’t expecting this when a guy who wears three piece suits to sell boots said it’s the best place to go.

The skinny kid behind the counter looks somehow 16 and 25 at the same time, but when I tell him this place was recommended he smiles and says to hand over my boots. I hand him the vaguely warm foot-smelling boots, and stand in my socks in the 3’ square entryway surrounded by every color leather polish you could buy and watch as he turns my boots around in his hands, sizes up a crescent moon bits of plastic, and unceremoniously hammers tiny nails through them before handing them back.

The heels are perfectly level again. I can walk without almost rolling my ankles. They don’t clack loudly on the pavement or feel different. This is gonna fix my knee pain. It cost $10.

This kid had every tool he needed within arms reach, worked fast and smoothly, I was in and out the door in less than 8 minutes, and it only cost $10.

I didn’t think anything could cost only $10 anymore. I’m so used to hyperinflation prices I was spiritually thrown back to the 1400’s visiting the cobbler in town square. This kid might have been that cobbler and just decided to never die.

I’m still reeling from the whiplash, and gobsmacked at the price, and thrilled I didn’t have to go buy new, worse work boots (cuz I don’t have that kind of money for a second pair, I’m expecting these ones to last a decade) and it feels like I just experienced one of the rare little chunks of magic that floats around our world.
