#and now seven years later

[desert-anne]

kind of fascinating what seven years of unfettered internet access has done to the splatoon fanbase

#<insert ''I was there Gandalf'' meme here> #bc the original was marketed toward. like. twelve-year-olds #and now seven years later #you have the original twelve-year-olds who've been deepfried #interacting with a new batch of twelve-year-olds (probably also deepfried but in different ways) #idk if i could pinpoint the specific ways in which the vibe has changed but it DEFINITELY has #being twelve in 2015 and being twelve in 2022 are two VERY different things #(feel like I should state that I am/was neither) #am i just saying nothing at this point? i feel like i'm saying nothing #here's Something to cancel it out: the features that have been added to encourage people to Make Content and Go Viral #have zero place in a third-person shooter #like... have user-generated content if you want #but it should be for the simple joy of creation #not with the goal of getting shown to a bunch of people

#🎀.txt #jjba rambles #guess who I've been thinking about #GOD DAMN I FEEL SO BAD FOR HER #she meets the love of her life and then gets assaulted and threatened by his adopted brother #seven years later she reunites with him and they are able to reconnect their passion for eachother despite their time apart #and then he gains this power #this strange power she doesn't understand #and because of this power he is killed #and he dies saving her life #she raises the child he helped create but never knew of or even met #and she protects him from the power that she saw as the thing that ruined her life #and he dies because of it #AND HE FUCKING DIES AND SHE KNOWS IT'S HER FAULT AND SHE HAS TO RAISE HER GRANDSON NOW #BECAUSE HER DAUGHTER IN LAW WHO SHE SAW AS AN ACTUAL DAUGHTER WENT OFF TO AVENGE HIM #USING THE POWER SHE FUCKING PROTECTED HIM FROM #I AM LOSING MY GOD DAMN MIND

laura (1944) / laura by vera caspary -- waldo and laura meet

bonus deleted scene from the movie script, with a third interpretation of their meeting --

#laura #1944 laura #vera caspary #laura hunt #waldo lydecker #gene tierney #clifton webb #lulu talks about 44 laura #lulu makes gifs #i WANTED another gif from the movie but tumblr refuses to let me move all the images around if i do more than 5 in the top of the post so!! #damn. gonna have to reshape screentogif just a hair to get that line at the bottom out. didn't see it until now #'IT'S FINE IT'S FINE I'M NOT REDOING IT!' -- lulu vandelay while making gifs bc she will NOT re-save and re-optimize YET AGAIN #oh god though i missed an s in the third gif but who's looking. who's counting. i will NOT do it again #me: okay i'll just whip this up before i go to bed. #me an hour later: .............................well. technically. that was with relative speed. #(then i had to redo one of the book pages bc i misspelled a word. sigh.) (i mean. that's a quick fix. a gif? NOT QUICK. not for a caption) #if you are thinking 'wtf? fawn-like????' i must inform you that that is in fact NOT the worst or the most uncomfortable thing #waldo says about laura in the book. #also it's been five years since they met in the movie vs seven years in the book #i do like the second and third gifs right next to each other -- their swapped positions....

GLaDOS <3

#moths journal #art #journaling #glados #hello portal fandom #this is my first fan art ever #mostly due to the fact that its been like #seven (7) years since ive thought about portal #now i wanna start a portal 2 playthru #but LATER after i stop reading as many things as i am

What if when the river person said "beware the man who speaks in hands" they meant like. be aware of him. Since no one is. So being aware of him would make him happy.

Framing him as a threat and a dangerous being that you should fear but no actually. Hes a nice guy that no one is aware of. You seem to like making people happy. I've heard of this one guy who would love someone to know him

#gaster #riverperson #river person #undertale #undertale analysis #←i guess?? #i just have a lot of thoughts about gaster (everyone is surprised) and i wonder if old teases for him that framed him as evil #were actually misinterpreted #(and were misleading on purpose) #i now know they are not synonyms but i still stand by this #its the sort of silly interpretation of words that Undertale does a lot #so i still think its likely #not as legit foreshadowing but as a joke to look back on and understand only (looks at watch) +seven years later

Let YOURSELF cook. Don't rush the process. Let that WIP simmer like the 45 year old soup. Come back every once in awhile, add some ingredients, skim the top, let it simmer some more. That shit will be chef's kiss when it's ready I prommy you

#sincerely someone who started writing a fic back in 2017 and is just now figuring out where to go with it nearly seven years later #for some reason I've never sweat not finishing a work. it feels so gratifying to look back on what you did and see where you can improve #i be checking in on old wips like 'new update tonight queen?' and they click the 'remind me later' button

NO I OPEN A NEW TAB TO SEARCH FOR NEW FICS AND READ THOSE INSTEAD

Like c'mon man

#and then for some reason i look through my bookmarks and i'm like #omg these are all so good!! don't have time now but i can't wait to read them!! i'm sure i'll do it soon #no #no you fucking won't you clown #it's like my tbr pile(s) but online #'oooh so good! i need to buy this book i'll read it as soon as i get home' nope. two years later and it's still in the pile #that is now seven feet tall #all my poor fav ships just waiting to fall on love on my bookmarks #malec #alec lightwood #magnus bane #steddie #steve harrington #eddie munson #hualian #fengqing #beefleaf #hannigram #johnlock #merthur #vegaspete #kinnporsche #nbc hannibal #stranger things #tgcf #mdzs #the untamed #ao3 #ao3 bookmarks #tbrstack

me age seven being sat down in front of the school’s district child psych lady and being given strange, simple spatial puzzles to solve and then long, complicated worksheets and hammering my way through them at the speed of light while having zero comprehension what their purpose was or why i was here: this is urgent! i have to get a good grade in Weird Puzzles, Or Else, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve,

#kjalkjsdalkjasdl mrs button was a nice lady but not one adult in my childhood ever seemed to notice what to me now seems like #a pretty obvious case of the autisms #then again maybe they just didn't look as hard unless it was *really* obvious back then . it was like. what. 2000? a couple years later #everybody was talking about autism but not when i was six or seven then it was usually just when it was Very Visible #a couple years later my cousin who's more visibly on the spectrum than me got her diagnosis so young that she's pretty much always had it #which is...well i think it's just made her life difficult in a different way. people underestimate her or don't treat her like she's her age #but then she's always had the opportunity to get accommodations and people are sometimes more forgiving when she can't do something #whereas i got labeled 'kid that should be ahead of the game' from a pretty young age and then when i struggled adults either ignored it #or it was just a huge hassle to them and even i could see it exasperated them to have to work around me #but because mrs button (nice lady but what were you thinking) hadn't told them to treat me like a kid with a developmental disorder #they didn't do that in good OR bad ways . so i never got any accommodations with school stuff i struggled with which was a fair bit #i wasn't supposed to need extra testing time in a quiet room or tutoring with math or help organizing my abysmally scattered things #the only time i DID get that was in sixth grade when i was sort-of friends with this kid jonathan who was Very On The Spectrum #he wasn't really a talker unless it was about whatever he was reading which suited me fine so we just kind of existed in each other's space #and his TSS was this very smart and nice lady who had clearly clocked that Something Was Going On With Me and even though it wasn't like #her JOB she made a little bit of time for me. mostly with emotional stuff (i think i was under the impression she was a therapist?) #but if i had some problem with being unable to keep friends or being frozen out by the kids i wanted to be liked by (happened often) #she'd be able to just like. be there she'd make the time . wish i could remember her name

i just finished watching the aot final movie and ngl i cried a bit

#i started watching when i was 15 #and now nearly seven years later it's finally done #feels like i grew up with them a bit #bc the characters also started at 15 and ends when they're 22 #feels nice to have grown up with them and see their stories end #ash talks

REX AND AMANDA'S ROMANCE HAS ME ABSOLUTELY FUCKED UP RN OH MY GOD

(full on comic spoilers under the cut just in case)

FUCKING ME UPPPPP

#They've had me on the ropes for a long time but throwing her into space was my final fucking straw oh my god #Like I've been staring into space thinking of their epic centuries spanning alien dimension romance the past few days #Now THIS #There's only so much I can TAKE (I'm loving it actually it's so OUCH) #They both won't give up but he doesn't love her enough to give up what he's doing and she loves him too much to give up on him #I want to explode and die #Also I did decide to take a break right after he throws her into space to kill her bc I need time to absorb it #So I'll see if she somehow survives or not lager #Later* #But yeah holy shit dude #She loved him for SEVEN HUNDRED YEARS and he THREW HER INTO SPACE bc she was getting in the way of his plans. #But also he's GENUINELY DEVASTATED BY IT. He's WEEPING ON THE FLOOR BC OF IT. BUT HE DID IT ANYWAY. #It's so FUCKED #invincible comic

how have i gone from not caring at all about da ocs to wanting to commission art of greg holding baby kieran in the span of like… three days, help

#is it because i am running out of meresino ideas? perhaps #i mean #rest assured i will always be here to pay money for meresino arts #like legit i will give you free reign if you want just #meresinos pls #but that being said #now I’ve had more experience communicating with artists the process doesn’t seem quite as Terrifying #and I’m just like…. #perhaps…. #and people are egging me on by encouraging me to talk about my ocs!!! #watch me end up having like. dedicated oc pages by the end of the month #also was not expecting greg to become like. possibly my fav da oc? #base a character off your ex they said #it’s therapeutic they said #and somehow SEVEN YEARS LATER …… #i am a clown #ziskpost #gregory cousland

I can't believe they apparently introduced Ratio by showing him playing chess alone and taunting himself. What a dork. I actually love him

#I used to do this all the time from the moment I learnt to play chess when I was seven or so to ehm nowadays from time to time #A lot less now than as a child and teen. I used to do it all the time. Nowadays I find it boring xD #I hope for my mental health he won't be as me-coded as he seems to be #Because that would be embarrassing in an almost humiliating way #What do you mean I am so plain and my tastes so typical and easy to cater to #that the gacha game has made at least two characters that fit perfectly my tastes? #And yet there they are. I won't even talk about Jingliu and Jing Yuan nor probably Luocha and even Sunday #Blade was hit after hit and Ratio is‚ while not as much of my taste fiction-wise for now‚ definitely clicking all my irl interests #I got into twitter and saw the chess piece in the video thumbnail and my first thought was 'goodness I sure hope that's not Ratio' #But it was #This is kind of humiliating. I feel like a NPC of a person. I hope you die. I hope we both die xD #I talk too much #I should probably delete this later #The only character that comes as close as Blade as being lab-made specifically to suit all my tastes is Jack and that's how it went #I don't even want to talk about what Blade has done to me this year (for good and bad)

sorry for imagine dragons posting but my birthday is next month and it’s making me weirdly emotional about this line in trouble

#rhyn rambles #i mean..probably for sort of the same reason ‘it’s time’ still gets me #like that song came out when i was seven and here i am twelve years later #like i would listen to that song and think about being my current age #and then when i was 16 listening to smoke and mirrors #this song came up and i would think about being 19 #and how much things would change by then #(please see 2020/2021. not a good time) #now i’m almost done being 19 and it’s like huh. time to move on i guess #that being said i’m pretty excited to say i’m 20 instead of 19 #not excited about anything else really. i just get to say a new cooler number

#today i had a pianist during a rehearsal go “wow your voice you just have so much natural talent i mean some people really work for years—” #and i kinda snapped #and i was polite but also i unloaded the entire story of the last thirteen years in the cosmic joke that is my life #this lady got thirteen years of trauma in a twenty minute speed run #she Learned Things today about existential despair and the societal clusterfuck that is the Trans Experience #and how that intersects in the classical singing world in an incredibly challenging and fucked up way #and how i went from scooting under the door into a voice program with seven lessons under me #and then three years later proceeded to fling myself into a testosterone fueled vocal puberty in the midst of a professional singing degree #and lost the respect and support of most of the vocal and choir faculty because everyone thought i was committing professional suicide #if it werent for my own voice teacher (who at some point became the mother figure I'd never had) keeping me afloat i would not be here #i have c-ptsd from the shit i went through in the choir department #i had to drop out of school for a semester because my body just folded under the stress #i started getting migraines severe enough i was hospitalized twice with stroke-like symptoms #two weeks ago i had a former teacher from the early days deadname me in front of our colleagues #she tried to play it off as no big deal and it just reminded me no matter how successful i become in this field #no matter how much work i put in to overcome my past #its always going to come back and find me through people who refuse to learn respect #and somehow! im still here! im making a living in the field i trained for #how many people in my generation in the arts degree sector can say that?? by some metrics i am thriving but jesus goddamn #i clawed and fought and bit and dragged myself to where i am right now and had to find my voice TWICE and the worst part is #she meant well #the pianist i mean #and i was polite when i told my story but it was so important to me that she understood #no amount of talent would have gotten me here without sleepless nights and long hours and blood and sweat and tears and you know what #maybe i am a better person for it but dont compliment me by implying i have some inherent gift from a god i dont even believe in #dont tell me your god put me in this place to teach other people compassion #i didnt brush the door of death as many times as i did for the sake of someone else's enlightenment #its been a long 13 years. hell its been a long 2023. in the last eleven months ive had a fundamental upheaval #of everything i thought i knew and understood about myself #so yea im standing at the gate to hell looking the devil in the eye. try me bitch. ive endured worse.

awful. they put pellaeon in the mandalorian and now i’m actually kind of tempted to reread the original thrawn trilogy
