#Truly in retrospect

[the-bowster]

Hey guys, it's ya person, no dick, and I'm here to remind you that billionaires a truly terrible people.

#Is this post about Musky rat and Ducky Tramp? #Yes. #I refuse to say their names correctly #suck my dick about it #Um yeah #kumbyah and all that shit #don't do drugs kids #and don't drink unless you wanna end up like Duff Mckagan in 1994. #Sorry I had to throw you under the bus man #Truly in retrospect #it's not a very funny thing to joke about since it left him with third degree burns & all that #but he is a very very good example and a pretty good role model #just read his books #Idk how this went from trashing billionaires to talking about Duff McKagan #but it did #Besides I would much rather ramble on for hours about how much of a role model he is now than talk about stupid fucking billionaires #That have too much money and not enough goddamn sense #ew I sounded old #I apologize my fellow Tumblr users #Shut up Bowie #there. It's the end. Happy?

I know Tommy is technically friends with Chimney and worked with everyone except Buck and Eddie, but I'd love it if Tommy just like... retroactively takes Buck's side in every past trauma Buck has had where he didn't have anyone truly on his side.

Aka Tommy being like "Chimney PUNCHED you?! They laughed when they found out your Therapist had SEX with you during a session!!? He called YOU exhausting??!"

#tommy kinard #evan buck buckley #listen i just have a lot of feelings about how sometimes no one was truly in bucks corner for a few of those moments #probably the closest was Hen who really has always tried to see bucks side #which in retrospect like... queers flocking together amirite #bucktommy #kinkley #tevan #what do you mean its 2024 and i should be over those incident im sorry i hold grudges on behalf of my blorbo #if buck wont be angry about it ill just have to do it for him

does anyone else feel like we got like five different steves in s4 like his writing was not consistent at all and it’s really unfortunate

#like steve in ep5 doesn’t feel like the same steve in ep6 and THAT doesn’t feel like the same steve in eps8/9 #like…….. in retrospect they truly had no idea what to do with him #steve harrington #kenny screams!

The Untamed (2019) // Red, Chase Berggrun

#just. thoughts. this collection was the best thing I’ve read in. so long. god. god. #retrospect is. so interesting. what u thought u had vs realizing what u do have. god. #I just. it’s so interesting how much of lan zhan’s hate was truly love and how much of his love was truly hate #or it’s more realizing what you have after you had it #because when you’re molded to distrust curiosity & feelings & exploration—you forget what they feel like #and Wei wuxian being the first and only person to teach him to feel. even wrongly. because god at least you’re still doing it #even when the world hates you. you are still feeling it. #and then. he didn’t. and it was 13 years of feeling it & nothing. ANYWYA. yeah. #the untamed #lan wangji #lan zhan #wei ying #wei wuxian #mdzs #mdzs wwx

Sappho. I wanted to know if I could under layer shading with markers. That failed. HOWEVER, I took a picture of my greyscale marker drawing before I obliterated every ounce of shading with grotesque color so that I could play with it digitally. I'm ecstatic. She is GORGEOUS.

#horseblr #horse art #equine art #mixed media #prismacolor markers #digital coloring #unicorn art #kifuart #so this is the first time i think sappho has EVER had shading #and i have owned this horse for eight years #i was so proud of myself for drawing her when i bought her design #i've ... greatly improved #2017 was my breakthrough year after all #but like holy shit this horse is absolutely beautiful and i think i may have to do this type of painting againt #because i truly do love markers but some colors are so damn hard to capture #so this gets the texture and the ease of marker without the worry of making mistake with color #in retrospect i should have looked for my white colored pencil that has mysteriously disappeared and went crazy with highlighting #but i also thought this was taking another direction and i've never layered marker over colored pencil before #ooh i needed this for myself

@ lianhua novel anon: just fyi that i saw your ask and yes would love to talk on it when the braincells permit!! (+ probably also when i finish watching, we're on ep36 rn)

…though i did just have unfortunate and highly cursed but not inaccurate thought that at least some of the plot/coherency issue may be familiar from acd holmes to bbclock adaptation issues, i.e. the addition of Big Backstory Plot followed by the shoehorning of said plot into what were mostly standalone cases in the original writing with varying degrees of success

#catch me eating popcorn @ seeing the 极乐塔 arc getting adapted onscreen (i have to caveat that i AM a mystery nerd at core) #also trivia: this is the case where novel!llh acquires hulijing actually #anyway to summarise the key difference is novel!llh truly gets to be Just A Lil Guy (annoying too-smart gremlin) like 90% of the time #whereas drama!llh is just here like. tortured greek hero on main. can't catch a break from angst the poor man #to borrow a succinct take from lofter: to novel!llh lxy is just a 黑历史. maybe a little cringe in retrospect but he's moved on #but for drama!llh lxy is an entire Painful Past To Atone and so any carryover themes/dialogue on letting go etc kinda rings a little hollow #no one in this show has moved on not even the monk. amituofo help yall man #mysterious lotus casebook #ramble tag

said to my counsellor that i wasnt built for friendship because everyone always eventually just. stops speaking to me and she went “ok why do you think that is?” and then when i finished my dumb sad list she went “ok so maybe you aren’t good at friendship” and i. have never regretted spending £50 more in my life lol

#A RANT IN THE TAGS MY GOD I DIDNT EVEN REALISE I AM WRITING THIS WARNING RETROSPECTIVELY #£50 to feel like never trying to speak to anyone again or forge any connections THANKS RUTH #Ruth remember when I said that every friendship I’ve had I’ve never truly known if it’s a friendship or if it’s one sided #remember when I told you that my friend groups always had people who had a favourite and I was never the favourite #remember when I told you that several friend groups have disbanded but not really they actually just made new spaces without me? #remember that? remember my trauma? remember? #because I DO!!! #I was not born to have friends I don’t think #I can’t even make friends with other autistic people or other weird people or other queer people #I don’t even think I could make friends with a clone of myself #this is so guy wrenchingly isolating lol #like girl what do you want from me? keep everyone at arms length like I used to? #try not to let myself get attached to people in case they decide they don’t want to be close to me anymore? #please it is not great advice Ruth #THE WORAT PART is that I literally was like ‘I don’t message too much because I’m overbearing’ #and she asked where the proof was #and all I had was the complete dissolving of any relationship where I tried or tried too hard #so now I’m left in this confusing space of do I message too much or not enough because I have no happy medium #and she knows SHE KNOWS I also have energy issues and executive dysfunction stuff going on #and I know she is just trying to help and get me to think about this stuff #but it was just not the time lmao #finnie shouts into the void

Every so often I think-

I should watch Sherlock again. I remember it being pretty dazzling the first time through. I know there was a lot of backlash, eventually, but certainly there was a reason it was of such intense interest and obsession. I remember the dialogue being quite smart!

And then I remember that it ended with there being a secret Holmes sister that Sherlock had FORGOTTEN about‽

#truly a cultural phenomenon #it could never be made today #Sherlock #actually in retrospect can you even put letters in a phone lock code? #I can’t #numbers only #remember when she had his phone for 30 seconds and changed his text sound to a wanton moan #and he either couldn’t or wouldn’t change it back #magical #do you think she paid 99¢ for the tone?

These boys never stood a chance

"It only has to stay secret until we're 18"

Like be serious Wille!! Linda clocked your asses in about .05 nanoseconds.

(And Sara too while we're at it.)

This woman knows her son!

Look at her trying not to bust out laughing at these clowns.

Sara said get it together.

Linda said 👀

Wilmon said oops sorry didn't hear you over all the love noises!

Hey guys! Pro tip: if you want to keep your illicit gay romance a secret, try not smiling radiantly and blushing at each other while shooting each other heart eyes that scream I want to jump your bones then take you on a picnic by the lake and learn everything about you in front of your friends, family and total strangers.

Just a suggestion tho.

#this scene is truly hilarious #but actually kind of heartbreaking in retrospect #they're so happy finally being on the same page #anticipating spending the whole weekend together just the two of them #*cries* #GIVE THEM EVERYTHING #young royals

i also think the fact that i had such a stunted and isolated upbringing and now that im an adult all my friends are on atypical life paths (and honestly even my friends as a kid were like this too) means i find things that are usually very common life stages really interesting. like knowing someone who has a house and a wife and 2 kids (with that wife) and a job with a salary feels like meeting fucking paul bunyun to me. or hearing the kids i work with talk about graduating high school and going to college and being on a real path with that stuff is neat? or even sometimes knowing cis/het people who are like going thru that coming of age stuff that i never really experienced the way you see it in the movies bc of transness/queerness/neurodivergence. its like woah they said the name of the thing in the thing. do u know what i mean???

#this actually reminds me of one of the girls at work whose been here for 2 yrs so i feel like im watching her grow up #shes graduating hs this year and shes really smart and she always asks questions like this #like picking ur brain about your life like 'what did you feel like growing up how was your family' etc #its kinda cool #she already got a degree bc of dual credit courses and an internship lined up and im so proud of her #and theres another girl her same age who came to me last night telling me her situationship just broke her heart #and they were both talking all about their prom dresses and all that stuff and were so excited last month #like idk i guess i just find it endearing #i think part of it is also that while these specific paths are thought of as common/default #there really is so much variance in life and really truly so many people not on those paths for so many reasons #which actually does loop around to making it seem strange #like truly how many people do you really know anymore who stayed at 1 job until they rose the ranks #who got married and had kids with that person and now they live in a house in the suburbs with some dogs and cats #like who does that anymore #meanwhile i think its just cool seeing kids actually experiencing growing up but in retrospect and not as a peer feeling confused & jealous #like woah youre a girl buying a dress and getting her hair done and texting a boy thats so wild ive never done that #or woah youre taking courses to prepare for college and know what degree youre going for #i no longer feel resentment that i felt left behind during all that shit when i was a teenager #im just happy for them and proud of them

Me, six months ago, the instant I found a new traumatized military man and this time he wears a fucking mask:

#I still find it funny and hilarious in retrospect that I went knees deep into CALL OF DUTY of all Fandom to transition to #Like #Simon Ghost Riley you did something to my brain chemistry #That Clint never did #Truly the og Mary Sue hurt comfort #Only frank castle ever came close 😂😂😂 #Shut up Christine #To all my friends who knew and loved me at my Marvel phase for 10+ years: I am still so sorry

A.J Pollard’s biography on Edward IV was so cringe lol (generic; minor but frustrating inaccuracies; intensely judgmental at times and oddly dismissive at others while never considering the broader context; entirely diminished and trivialized Elizabeth Woodville as both queen and wife of his main subject in the name of "defending" her; created a false dichotomy between Edward and Henry VII’s styles of ruling and lauded the latter at the former’s expense even though Henry literally followed Edward’s example for the very things Pollard was criticizing Edward for; had a downright nonsensical and thoroughly misleading conclusion about Edward’s legacy & Richard’s usurpation that was based entirely on hindsight, Pollard's own assumptions, and the complete downplaying Richard’s agency and actions to emphasize what Pollard wrongly and misleadingly claimed were Edward's so-called 'failings', etc, etc)

I wanted to buy his book on Henry V but after reading this shitshow and the synopsis of that book, im guessing it's going to be 10x worse, so...no thanks

#history media #this was written months ago im posting it to get it out of my drafts #it wasn't necessarily BAD. it was generic and readable. but it was very disappointing and misleading and its conclusion was just nonsense #listen I have no patience for the dumbfuck idea that edward somehow had the ultimate responsibility for his own son's deposition because #of his 'policies' during his reign. like I said it's based fully on hindsight and entirely devoid of actual context. it's bafflingly stupid #literally everyone expected Edward V to succeed his father and 'both hoped for and expected' (Croyland's own words) a successful reign #Edward V's deposition was richard and solely Richard's fault lol this should not be difficult to understand #the reason Richard's usurpation was possible in the first place was bcause everyone expected E5 to succeed and didn't expect Richard #do to what he did. nothing would have happened without his initiative and decisions. it had nothing to do with Edward's 'policies' #Edward's policies were fine. henry vii - who pollard vaunts to no end - literally *followed* them #and claiming that he failed to unite England under the Yorkist dynasty is just plain stupid #buddy if he truly failed at that then neither Richard III nor Henry VII would have thrones lol. both emphasized continuity with #him when aiming for the throne. like the whole point of 1483-85 was that it was a conflict WITHIN the 'Yorkist' dynasty #it was not an external threat against it. #'his legacy failed' his legacy didn't fail his brother destroyed it (while also presenting himself as his heir because logic what's logic?) #henry's victory was very much the triumph of his legacy (a claimant chosen by his supporters as the husband of his daughter) #like this is really not my interpretation it is literally what happened #i'm not trying to glorify e4 but his son did inherit the throne in a more advantageous circumstances than any other minor king of england #and frankly than most other adult kings. dumping blame on Edward's literal corpse rather than acknowledge Richard's agency is so tasteless #the problem isn't that edward made a mistake in trusting his brother. many other kings including Henry V also trusted theirs. #the problem is that his brother was willing to break that trust in a way that was unprecedented and broke all political norms of that age #ie: Richard's usurpation occurred because of Richard who re-ignited conflict to make himself king. please drill this into your head #also btw this illogical 'interpretation' is based entirely on Charles Ross' hatred and derision towards Elizabeth Woodville and her family #if you agree with this inteterpretation you agree with his vilification of them 🤷🏻‍♀️ #anyway if you want a better interpretation that's actually analytical and looks a relevant rather than a flawed retrospective perspective #i would recommend rosemary horrox's 'richard iii: a study of service' and david horspool's 'richard iii: a ruler and his reputation' #anyway one last time: STOP downplaying Richard's agency and actions. historians who do this are stupid and embarrassing. bye. #(i should really post horspool's glorious takedown of ross and Pollard huh? it was very entertaining to read)
