#and i kinda wanna keep rambling about it

[eating-the-inedible]

Hiiiiiiiii

If you could combine any two sports/martial arts/physical activity things, what would they be and what would the result be?

The best answer I’ve ever gotten to this is skydiving and ping-pong

damn. now i feel like i won't live up to that

hmmmmm

ice hockey

aaaannnnnnndddddd

*thinking*

*still thinking*

*stiiiiillllllll thinking*

spearfishing

why? i have no clue

result?

um

a hockey rink filled with water

but freezing water

and maybe you have to catch the fish by spearing them with your skates or hockey stick or you turn your hockey stick into a speargun

but you have to be careful

because you still have to use the hockey stick/spear gun to maneuver the puck

and you have to be amazing at holding your breath

because we ain't pussies so no way in hell are we gonna use scuba tanks (they spook the fish anyway)

and maybe you need a certain ratio of fish to points to win

and ima hit post now before i keep on creating lore and rules for this made up sport/activity that did not exist three minutes ago

#eating the inedible #eating your asks #ice hockey #spearfishing #spearfishing ice hockey #im kinda really into this now #and i kinda wanna keep rambling about it #so darlings #if you have questions about spearfishing ice hockey #ask #and i shall answer #spearfish hockey #spearfish hockey lore

Pt2 to this post

'Is something wrong?' Nancy asks, not long after the two of them have taken their familiar spots on the hood of Steve's car. They're basking in what might be the last warm sunlight of the year, looking out over the quarry, at a safe distance from the edge.

It's become a tradition the two of them share, ever since they reconnected back in March. It calms them both, to just sit here and take in the view, no one around but each other. Nancy is one of the few people Steve can share a comfortable silence with: sometimes they sit here quietly for what feels like hours, side by side, listening to music or to nothing but the birds singing around them. But they also have their best conversations here: it's the place where Nancy entrusted him she wanted to break up with Jonathan; it's the place where they talked about their shared past and decided they would always love each other as friends; it's the place where they finally talked about Barbara in a way they couldn't when they were younger. It's where Nancy talked about the ghosts still haunting her and Steve talked about how lonely he sometimes felt.

Steve huffs. 'How did you guess?'

'When you frown, you always do it with your whole face,' Nancy notes. 'So it's hard to miss, really.'

Steve glances at her side profile. There's a serenity to her features that's still relatively new. It means she's healing, slowly learning how to be happy again. It means she stopped waiting for the end of the world and started believing in a real future again. It makes Steve proud of how far they both have come.

'I had a fight with Eddie,' he confesses. 'And with Dustin, I guess.'

'What happened?'

He sighs. 'It's complicated.'

'Wanna tell me about it?'

The look in her eyes is kind and inviting. Steve hesitates. He wants to, but he doesn't know if he can. It's a risk. It's scary.

But he can't imagine Nancy Wheeler ever being careless with his secrets. He can't imagine her judging him, can't imagine her being as small-minded as most people in this town.

He was planning on telling her anyway, because things had been going so well with Eddie lately and – no, he shouldn't think about that right now. But maybe it would actually be nice to talk about it with Nancy.

'So, um...' His throat feels tight and his hands are sweaty. 'I recently discovered some things about myself. I-' The words get stuck somewhere on the way to his mouth, and he clears his throat.

Nancy doesn't push, but only gives him an encouraging nod, waiting for him to find his voice again.

'I found out I like boys,' he finally manages to confess. 'And I need you to know that – that that doesn't mean that what I felt for you wasn't real. It was. I loved you, and now I fell in love with a boy. And-'

'Steve.' Nancy's hand suddenly covers his, causing him to finally jerk his head away from the view over the quarry, to focus on her face again instead.

Her eyes are wide, and she squeezes his hand.

'You don't have to explain yourself to me,' she tells him. 'We're good. But thank you for telling me. For trusting me with this.'

Steve heaves out a relieved sigh, and Nancy smiles; it's that genuine kind of smile which reveals all kinds of dimples and soft lines across her face.

'We might be more similar than you thought,' she tells him, a faint blush spreading over her cheeks.

'Really?' Her words make his breath catch in his throat. He squints at her, trying to see her in this new light. 'Are you saying what I think you're saying?'

She shrugs. 'I don't know. I'm not sure yet,' she admits. 'Still figuring things out.'

'Take your time, there's no rush,' he tells her. 'But...' He bumps his shoulder against hers. 'When you're done figuring it out, talk to me, okay?'

She nods. 'Okay.'

For a while, it's quiet between the two of them. Some kind of raptor circles high above them in the sky. They both follow it with their eyes until it disappears among the tree tops west of the quarry.

'Is it Eddie?'

Steve blinks dumbly a couple of times.

'Wha- what?'

'The guy you were talking about. The one you fell in love with. It's Eddie, isn't it?'

'Jesus, Wheeler, what kind of sorceress are you?' Steve exclaims.

Nancy laughs again. 'You're not being as subtle as you think,' she tells him. 'The two of you have been hooking up for a while now, haven't you?'

Steve huffs dramatically. 'This is unfair. You know everything; I can't even tell you my own secrets anymore!'

'So what happened?' Nancy asks. 'You said you had a fight with him?'

'It's fucking stupid,' he sighs. 'Dustin was getting way too excited about the fact that I was gonna be hanging out with you, so I told him I was seeing someone. Next thing I knew, he was telling Eddie all about how I was seeing a girl.' He waves his hands around to make annoyed air quotations. 'I wanted to tell Eddie it was a misunderstanding, but Dustin was there, so I couldn't out us just like that, and he looked so betrayed and heartbroken... He didn't wanna listen to me.'

Steve sighs; he still can't manage to forget that look in Eddie's eyes when Dustin delivered the big news. 'I wish I would've talked about what I felt for him earlier. I should've been honest when I had the chance, y'know. But I was afraid he wouldn't wanna label what we had, that he wouldn't feel the same way – and now we're in this whole mess. God, he must hate me right now, Nance.'

To his surprise, Nancy gives him an unexpected slap against his arm.

'Ouch, what the hell was that for?!'

'What are you even doing here with me, Steve? You should've gone after him, tell him how you feel!'

'I tried, obviously, but he didn't wanna listen to me!'

'So make him listen! You're in love with him, he obviously feels the same way about you, and you let him leave to wallow in a broken heart he doesn't even need to have!' She rolls her eyes and slides off the car, adding something under her breath that sounds suspiciously like an exasperated 'Boys!' before she pulls Steve off the car as well. 'C'mon, time to get your ass over to the trailer park. Right. Now,' she says through gritted teeth. And, well, Steve knows better than to argue with a determined - and truthfully quite terrifying - Nancy Wheeler.

I get the impression that money was a bit tight on clouds on the horizon in general, what with the uneven time put into the lumity kiss vs the hexsquads fight outside blight manner w/ the infamous cha cha slide, plus background details going wonky (like baloony hunter), but my favourite semi-wonky frames are the closeups on Hunters face when he's talking with Luz about him being a grimwalker.

bc the proportions are just. So funny to me. Why is his nose so long. Why are his eyes in the middle of his face. When did his forehead get so big. What's happening. Did I die. Is this purgatory. I unironically love this bc it reminds me that this show was made by people who were trying their best. And sometimes their best looks the Bunter Vs hexsquad fight in thanks to them and other times it looks like this

[ID: a screenshot of a close-up on Hunters face from clouds on the horizon. The placement and proportions of his face are slightly off. End ID]

(although in searching for this image I was informed that a different studio than normal animated clouds on the horizon. Which is probably at least part of the reason why there's so many bungled frames. Also probably why the cha cha slide got animated the way it did. God I love animation)

#ramblings of a lunatic #the owl house #toh #hunter toh #I'm sorry if this post seems mean i promise you I'm trying not to be this is unironically one of my favourite parts of rewatching this ep) #my thoughts on clouds on the horizon are that i like it's individual elements but it struggles to be more than the sum of its partd #*parts #mainly i think that everything is pretty strong minus. literally the ''main'' storyline of amity and her family #i think you need at least one extra scene to communicate to the audience that the relationship between al and odalia- #-is more abusive than we'd previously been led to believe. because as it stands it feels like too much of a leap between previous eps #but like. everything else about this episode is good and works #its that storyline that lets this ep down and makes it feel incongruous to me #i recognise that it's a result of the shortening and I'm not mad about it so i don't make a big stink about it #but its the reason i dont really care too much abt alador as a character. he's good when it lets me explore other characters feelings #(Darius Amity even Willow or Camilla etc) #but other than that he's just kinda there #anyway i think i mostly wanna get to the specials #im fighting the part of me telling me to just rewatch my comfort eps (asias and labyrinth runners. also ftf a lil bit) bc WE JUST DID THAT #IF I KEEP WATCHING THEM TOO MANY TIMES I'M GONNA GET SICK OF IT AND DIE #but like. i really wanna :( #being strong tho /j

*waving awkwardly at whoever happens to be walking by* Just a little heads up (since I guess I feel weird not giving any sort of notice?) that I’ll be making a point to be on here much less going forward (not disappearing, I’ll still be around, but probably only popping in now and again)… At least for now! Summer is always a difficult time of year for me, to be honest with you, and being chronically online definitely won’t help with that. So… Yeah! As per usual feel free to @ me to make sure I see something (y’all can also dm me lol no need to be shy). 💜

That’s it! Again just felt like leaving a little notice aha… Anyhoo, y’all take care and be safe :] ✌️

#BUT for the little handful of people I chat with on Discord- #I very much do want us to stay in touch and encourage you to message me liberally about literally whatever #Rat… Countless… Fey… I mean you know who you are I think #Cal you’re included in that implicitly too haha ik we don’t talk directly all that much but we’re friends and we really oughta keep intouch #Anyhoo that’s it yeah! #Like I said #summer can be pretty rough for me #On the one hand I have a very romantic view of summer #On the other- it tends to be when I’m most prone to falling into depressive episodes #Alsoooooo- I have to admit that while I’m very grateful for this fandom and all the cool people in it that I’ve met #I often kinda miss when listening to it was more of a thing I did with myself if that makes sense?? #Well now I have a few closer friends that I absolutely still want to talk about the show with- #But overall yeah I think at least for the next bit I want to go back to enjoying the show without all the fandom stuff attached #Well. AHA I’ll still be around like I said just- okay this is such a long ramble for nothing LOL typical Baba… #:3 Listen take care and don’t be shy if ya genuinely wanna keep in touch is all #💜

hmm not sure how to feel about obey me running the same pop quiz concurrently in both games

there's a weird disconnect - the new ui and sfx of nightbringer did a good job of giving that disjointed feeling of being somewhere unfamiliar, but given that the pop quiz seems to be taking place in the present that mc came from, the nightbringer ui just feels.... off in the wrong way

given that i've got more resources there i'll probably keep using the original game to play the pop quizzes, but since you can get devil points for s ranking a rhythm stage in nightbringer, seems like these events will be a good place to farm some!

(though in the first place i'd rather they finish the nightbringer story before adding supplementary content like this)

#obey me #i guess there's also the argument to be made that this kind of makes the original game defunct for players who've finished s4 #if the pop quizzes are in both games there's no new content unique to the og to warrant keeping it #also i wonder (since the event nightmares are shared) are the devilgram stories the same? #i know that most people playing nightbringer came from the original but there's always going to be some people new to the series #and in the first place it just feels jarring to be midway through a story where the point is that the brothers are unfamiliar #only for the pop quiz to just kinda go 'yah forget that' #also the longer i've had to think about it the more worried i've gotten about whether or not mc's actually gonna go back to the present #given solomon's odd line about remembering that that's where you belong #in a way i guess i wouldn't want mc to leave the brothers behind in this more vulnerable phase #but in another if they stayed it kind of undoes what they've done from og s1 onwards #also i still wanna know how this isn't creating the world's biggest time paradox #if past asmo already has a pact with solomon now what's gonna happen when they meet at that bar where they're supposed to have made it?? #depending on that bit in (was it s4 or s3??) where mc + satan end up in the celestial realm #was it that they went back in time or was it an illusion or something?? #anyway i've seen some people say that the angel brothers don't remember exactly meeting them #but they still feel their influence afterwards #so maybe that's the case for mc in nightbringer?? #anyway. sorry for rambling in tags again

[xbraveheartx]

Gently considers... Carmeo/Promeo discord server... hmmm...

#As in like... should I make one????? I DON'T KNOW LIKE!!!!!!! #I adore othe LoP small server I'm in. but I also feel bad for talking about NOTHING but Carmeo/Promeo sometimes LOL #I don't know. I adore them so much. I'm like. Obsessed x'D they're so good #Plus I don't shut up about lore and whatnot and sometimes I just feel like people don't wanna Hear It(tm) #I dunno I guess I'm just feeling some kinda way when it comes to lore and story and characters and just #-clenches fist- I feel strongly about them all and I adore seeing everyone's takes and interpretations #But it always circles back to THEM or like “Here is the actual lore and story” and I feel Overbearing(tm) sometimes #So I guess I just feel in general like-- I dunno. Like my place is just. I DON'T KNOW. I just am feeling weirdly I guess ;; ;; #I word vomit about this game all the time and I try to keep it to this blog because sometimes I share stuff there #and get like. Lukewarm responses because people just don't wanna Hear It(tm) as I said before lol #THIS IS JUST ME VENTING I GUESS I DUNNO just feeling like an outlier a bit I guess dghudfg imma stop rambling and just. #Get back to writing c':

Fuck it, I'll make my own version of Bright and rewrite the entire family myself.

I already have some base but it's going to take a while to fully rework and remake this entire thing. The thing's rooted deep and I need to do a lot of research.

So until then, I'll pause my shit on Bright. Until I get a bit more of a solid footing and figure out more stuff.

#Alt rambles #I'm still researching for a last name #I think I'll rename Jack to Abirt though #Mainly because it's a reference to Bellerverse canon and it's one of my favourites #it's taking a while because I want to keep the fact that Bright's jewish #then realised I ltierally don't know shit about judaism so i dived headfirst to do a lot of research to make sure I get the facts right #i dont want to misrepresent anything but i also don't want to erase anything y'know? #i've been considering this remake for a long time now cause i personally have a lot of conflicting feelings about Bright #mainly because he's a really big comfort character and helped me coped through a lot of things yknow #i dont really wanna just drop him or change him but like yea #sorry the tags kinda got venty #bright remake process

Bitches be like "I have plenty of ideas for my aus, I think about character interactions all the time" and then will never write or draw them bc their imagination is very vauge and they have a bad memory (I'm bitches)

#also i keep imagining interactions and scinarios that are totally possible in the aus but probably arent the direction i wanna go with them #like i had one for living dead that i think would really flesh those two and their dynamic out #but the whole crux of why the interaction starts is something that would have to happen multiple times and in cannon i think itd only #happen twice at most #plus im kinda hesitant to talk about that kinda stuff in a sonic au lol #i mean whatever im almost definitely not going to draw or write it and even if i write it itd be just to get the idea out and id probably #never post it lol #n e way #trash rambles

there’s so much i wanna do this week/month/etc but i’m just too sick, i have no energy, i can’t sleep, i’m constantly nauseous and headachey and on the verge of a migraine, i’m stressed and irritable and impatient and panicky…….how tf did i survive nearly 5 years of high school untreated if i can’t even manage this when i don’t have any major obligations rn

#at least i finally got my meds so hopefully i feel a little better soon #although i’m now on 20 pills per day which is Just Great #whenever i’m in remission it’s nice to just. forget sometimes that this can happen at any time #kinda wish i had the typical kinda chronic illness that people talk about with ‘flares’ #or at least triggers that i can plan around #the other times have all had an easily identifiable stressor tho tbf. idk what caused this one #the first time was whooping cough and the next few were all very major life stressors like my cat dying right after i started uni #and i think also towards the end of my honours thesis? #but this…….there’s no major stress right now. nothing wildly beyond normal #i’m a little concerned about my joints tho. they’ve been so much worse than normal the last few months #so i’m kinda worried i’m developing rheumatoid arthritis (also an autoimmune disease and it runs in the family specifically) #so if that’s happening then it could set my thyroid off? probably should get to the doctor at some point #obv i’m seeing my endo for thyroid stuff. but i should see my gp and get her to run all the autoimmune blood tests again #i’ve done that before but it’s been a few years and my ankles and knees are so painful i can’t even walk properly a lot of the time #BUT I JUST WANNA DO THINGS I ENJOY AND I CANT AND I WILL CONTINUE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT #‘oh you’re so lucky you don’t have as many obligations because you’re chronically ill’ ha ha ha please swap lives with me immediately #personal #but seriously. i wasn’t diagnosed until i was nearly 17 and we can trace it back to whooping cough when i was 12 #so it was the last half of year 6 and then all of years 7-10 and the start of year 11 of just being. uh. ‘very lazy and complaining a lot’ #and TEACHERS joking about me and my sister (who was dealing with an arguably more severe undiagnosed disease) missing so many classes #wow so funny pdhpe teacher who’s supposed to be teaching is about health #and the thing with being a mentally ill teenager is that hyperthyroidism can just look like a very severe anxiety disorder #so i didn’t go to the dr until i was too sick to go to school at all. and luckily had a good dr who did a blood test #i’m just rambling now because i can’t sleep and i don’t wanna lie here doing nothing #might go play pvz or something. that’s been keeping me entertained

Dang I probably need a therapist

#or maybe not #like what do you do when ur sad and have no outlet #i dont think it's fair to keep using tumble to vent about things #but also a therapist is kinda expensive and idk if i can commit or if my shit's even serious enough for therapy #i just wanna vent about shit to someone who legally cannot share it to anyone else kfjdjjd #and ask for advice for stuff #i may not be 100% sure what u can do in therapy #rants n rambles
