#but like I’m barely an adult

[darkwood-sleddog]

Well. Sigurd ripped a dewclaw out bc he snagged it in my sweater, literally while we were both either on work meetings or about to go to work meetings…so to the emergency vet we went. Where we waiting for an hour to be seen bc we were non emergent. Finally, a hero tech came to see us and told us it was either wait four more hours or she can try and rip the nail off now. Me and Me D held Sigurd (muzzled) while he flailed and growled as dramatically as possible but we were somehow able to get the nail off and bandaged. That tech had fingers of STEEL and we were super appreciative of her. Then Sigurd got McDonald’s French fries on the way home. Urg. What a night.

#dogblr #alaskan malamute #dog #canine #sigurd #I’m fairly certain that ever since he had his first dewclaw injury as like an almost 1 year old that they’ve grown back weird/layered #making them very prone to injury #he had hurt the top of it over the weekend playing in the yard #and I thought it might heal and the top layer would come off #Little did I know how delicate it was #bc he treats all nails…like they’re sensitive end of the world injuries #so imagine how he was for this one #barely bled compared to past ones but he was in more pain #I’m going to have to rebuild a LOT of trust with his feet. #also trying to hold a dog who weights as much as an adult human #on his hind legs while he flails and bellows #is something…

Once again thinking about my oc who makes how to do videos that Vulcan kids like to watch, except this time I’m also thinking about “guest stars,” because you just know there’s going to be some things where you need an expert on it for

And originally I was just thinking about pleasant guest stars, and how the Human oc is unknowingly also teaching Vulcan kids how to handle their emotions because the Human is trying a lot of new things that actually scare them, or make them anxious, things like that, but they just calm themselves down on camera and continue doing them

But now I’m thinking about Jim Kirk, specifically aos Jim Kirk, guest starring before he ever became a captain, and it’s “how to ride a motorcycle,” and the whole time, this Human who is usually good at keeping a calm and pleasant disposition, just keeps turning to anxiously tell the camera “don’t do that” because Jim went straight to tricks and stuff that he shouldn’t be showing beginners

Jim Kirk is rewatching this episode as a captain, trying to avoid looking at Bones and Spock as they watch him put himself in danger without proper protective gear on

#bones is about to get his ass #god it was like 12 straight hours with those kids yesterday #they were all under the age of 10 #they might have gotten me sick they kept coughing and sneezing into their hands and then grabbing me as well as touching other objects #they were all sweet kids!! they were just overstimulating and then after like. 7 hours. they had clearly overstimulated each other #so they kept getting into fights every 5 seconds #so I. I cried. #not in front of them #did not yell at them either!! #but I could not handle them anymore #had to walk away and beg another adult for help and that adult went immediately to yelling at them :( #so I had to go back to managing them #yesterday was. so stressful. but it’s not those kids fault that their parents use bbqs to just ditch them wtf #plus I had only gotten a half hour of sleep the night before so I was running on empty the entire time #but I made it through!! #(barely) #kids deserve better #seriously #anyways so I’m back to thinking about ocs who can. actually handle kids. #Star Trek #Star Trek aos #jim t kirk #jim kirk #james tiberius kirk #s’chn t’gai spock #Spock #bones #bones mccoy #leonard mccoy

"you know my stance on the usefulness/health of taylor constantly going backwards and relitigating the emotional reality of her life in the past….." I must have missed some posts because everything you said kind of blew my mind 😭 have you posted about this before?

oh to be fair i almost never post about taylor anymore and it occurs to me that usually when i do post-re-record release people get so upset with me i just delete them all 😭😭😭 this really has nothing to do with taylor specifically i just am not a person who loves like. going over and over and over something that’s already happened and esp for taylor who is. shall we say perhaps a little stuck in amber by virtue of superstardom this whole thing is like. well one day i’d like you to let your past selves rest in peace and just look forward into the clear skies where you can build whatever you want. because writing prologues about hurts you felt when you were 24 so you can release music about when you were 24 is like. well i hope this is doing what you want it to do, i support whatever you need but i’m sitting here patiently waiting for adult in-her-thirties taylor to feel more comfortable with that fact and start making music for that crowd.

#to be clear i am not against the rerecordinfs i love reclamations fueled by righteous bitterness #my patience is just be tried by how long this is going and how we have to do this whole cycle every time #like MINE. my. i know this is a personal reaction and i’m not saying there’s no validity. but like i watched miss americana! and that girl #was barely waking into the consciousness of being an Adult so everytime she unburies a past self im like well. we shouldn’t be living in #THIS space for too long #taylor swift #i literally just already know all this / don’t think the re-records are better / wants new stuff that is good

Fanfiction has ruined some of y’all’s brains so badly. Gaiman said to expect 3 seasons of Good Omens. That’s how much content he has planned for the show - meaning there’s a definite end he’s looking towards.

What did you really think s2 was going to be? The two of them running around and then being at the Ritz just like s1? That’s not an interesting show, it’s just fan service fluff. (Which is obviously fun and all but not something you should base 3 seasons of TV show on)

Gaiman told you what has to happen for Crowley and Aziraphale to be together in the show: Aziraphale has to heal from his past ‘relationship’ to be in a healthy one with Crowley. What Nina says about her and Maggie is not just a character talking to fill up run time, it’s the show saying something too.

TL;DR: Aziraphale is in a toxic relationship with heaven and needs to get out of that mindset before he can be with Crowley. It’s natural story progression and some of y’all have fanfic brainrot where everything must be instantly gratifying.

#good omens #good omens spoilers #as someone who’s been here since before the show was even a twinkle in anyone’s eyes #(read the book when I was 15. I was here when the fandom was TINY) #y’all do not know how Gaiman likes to tell his stories. Season 2 and 3 are mostly written by him because Pratchett isn’t here #he’s not going to give you instant gratification. that’s what fanfiction is for. this is a story that is precious to him. he wrote it with #one of his best friends. he’s not being cruel. he doesn’t hate the gays. he’s just trying to write a good story that honors his friend #sometimes I wish the show was never made. the book fandom was so much kinder and had more respect to Gaiman and Pratchett #than the tv show fandom is #not to be all queer elder when I’m barely an actual adult - but some of you lil gays need to calm the fuck down #not every show with a queer couple that isnt instantly hopping onto one another or being cutesy in love is being homophobic #let queer love stories be interesting for fuck’s sake

It feels like there’s a lot of heavy energy right now

#everything just feels kind of hopeless and I feel like I’ll like #never be financially stable enough to leave my family #and like I’ll never have a deep and significant romantic relationship #like at this point I am just waiting for my dad to die and hoping for some semblance of peace and normalcy for the rest of my adult life #maryam's posts #like fuck man I just want romantic love #but it seems like everyone is just weird or burnt out or does the bare minimum #and here I am looking and feeling like an idiot #like I’m just tired #I wish my family wasn’t so scarily homophobic I could be comfortable enough being with someone who wasn’t a man #I just feel all alone #And I wish I had someone rn who could see that #and who could give me a hug and say that they loved me

Baela and the Myth of the Child Fighting Pits

Not sure why I keep seeing from green-leaning accounts that in Fire and Blood, Baela visited the child fighting pits. But this is what F&B says about Baela post-Dance:

Nothing about child fighting pits. In fact this is what shows up when I search ‘pits’ in Fire and Blood:

The definition of a rat pit according to awoiaf:

Not the best of places, I’m not going to defend it but there’s nothing about children there (also lower down it’s stated Mushroom said these are the places Aegon II would frequent, which the show turned into child fighting pits).

Also saw it said on here that Baela celebrated Jaehaerys’ murder… Her reaction was not recorded.

Baela is many things and she is not perfect but what I’m seeing is just not accurate. And that’s not even getting into what I’ve seen on Reddit where they say she wasn’t faithful to Jace before his death and was kissing squires while he was in Winterfell. (Narrator: she wasn’t.)

#Fire and Blood #baela targaryen #forget media literacy #actual literacy seems to be dead #though I lean green in some ways this is why I’m not really into the whole ‘team’ thing #except ‘team chaos’ tbh #hotd #kinda #since one account which espoused what’s said above also said Baela’s a bully in the show #Were we watching the same show #Guess they’re talking about the fight with Aemond and I like Aemond but all the kids were in the wrong there #the girls less than the boys since they were grieving #dealing with a deadbeat dad who barely acknowledged their existence the whole time they were there #and they also hardly knew anything about the bullying and taunts Aemond had faced growing up #all the kids were in the wrong but I could see why they all did what they did and how it escalated #the blame should be on the adults above anyone #the fight between the children was a microcosm and consequence of the animosity between their parents #I also think it’s interesting the amount of parallels between Viserra and Baela #Not just the pits but the drunken rides through King’s Landing and betrothals arranged btwn them and men old enough to be their grandfather #I don’t think we’re supposed to take Baela’s actions post dance wholly as a leisure jaunt #They’re also rooted in trauma from most of her family being dead in a bloody and brutal civil war

okay, i’m genuinely curious: do people find me intimidating?

#that’s crazy to me but i wanna hear it from you #bc i get intimidated by other people i deem too cool for me whether that’s silly or not #but like to think other people find *me* intimidating? #idk i feel im very jaded and my own perception of myself very obviously will probably not match other people’s #idk i’m thinking about that kinda stuff lately #both in the context of friendship and otherwise #and just trying to both be more grown up and putting myself out there and making new adult relationships #and also balancing that with autism and the struggle to do so #my experience with friendship is weird and i wanna actually learn to be better basically #idk i always feel i’m a bad friend but like i do try really really hard and if i was really a bad friend i wouldn’t try at all would i? #idk it’s very complicated and it comes from a werid childhood and yadda yadda #whatever my big thing right now is communication i guess? #and relearning how to do it etc #as i’ve said in multiple posts #and i guess i’m trying to bare with myself as well as asking other people to do the same #bc i wanna talk and make friends but i’m currently on a slow road to figuring stuff out in my life so uhh yeah #that’s the guist of it i guess #anyways imaooo this post got away from me #gwen rambles #gwenposting

A not-so-fun thought, imagine Steve just so overwhelmed with dealing with The Party and being a parent to them since the real parents aren’t there. He feels like he has to be responsible for these kids because who else will? On top of that he has his parents down his neck about being a failure, has random strangers telling him “you could do so much more!”

But he can’t, he’s stuck being responsible for kids he didn’t even have. They’re not his but they’re also his.

He’s so overwhelmed, frustrated and just fucking sad. The minute there’s another responsible person gets in the house, he grabs nothing but his wallet and fucking leaves. Tears already forming in his eyes.

~~

Am I projecting? Yes. Yes I am.

I just got done crying from being so overwhelmed and frustrated. I didn’t have kids, I’m not planning on have kids but I have three young nieces and it just seems like I’m always the one responsible for these girls I didn’t even have.

I don’t drive so I was hoping for a ride to work but after not getting a response, I said fuck it and walked instead. And not only that but I constantly have people telling me “you should get your license! You should go back to school for nails! When are you having your own kids?”

Like, sure I’m 27 but I’m fucking broke and can’t afford honestly anything. AND I’m the one that ends up watching kids I DIDN’T HAVE?! Like fuck. I’m so tired.

#Steve Harrington hc #I usually like when steve wants kids of his own and I know it’s canon but let’s be real here #a normal barely adult would be so overwhelmed dealing with kids #I AM AND I’M TWENTY SEVEN

One of the problems I had with CATU is that a lot of plot points didn’t feel earned or finished. Even Doof and Isabella’s plotline, which was my favorite from the movie, did not feel complete (not to mention that Isabella, as much as I love her…was a taaaaaddddd botched imo; let’s be real here, she HAD to be one hundred percent in the right according to the quota. I was rooting more for Doof than for her cuz I’m sick of them making Doof just bad at EVERYTHING). I kinda feel like Doof and Isabella needed a moment where they BOTH shined and learned something from the other - instead, their part of the plot was POINTLESS, because Phineas was the one who ended up taking charge and no one even acknowledged this. Isabella giving Doof that patch somehow touched me more than the mug scene, but the fact remains that it was sadly very much unearned. That’s just my two cents though.

I did like that the kids interacted with Doof tho - like, I just like their interactions in general. I feel like they’d get along swell. 😂

#phineas and ferb #pnf #candace against the universe #catu #isabella garcia shapiro #dr heinz doofenshmirtz #I’m just saying #I loved that plot point but they did nearly nothing with it #heck the song Adulting was ONLY kept in because people thought it was funny #so like #it has no real baring on the plot #and again this was my FAVORITE part of the movie so I’m not saying this lightly #unpopular opinion

[fortes-fortuna-iogurtum]

hey friends is it normal to just feel. numb. because I think that maybe it is not. but what would I know anyway.

#really tho it’s like I can barely feel anything anymore. idk if it’s stress?? depression?? #the enormous weight of adult life suddenly and unexpectedly crashing down on me with the weight of the entire planet?? #I used to feel so *much* all the time and now I feel like I can barely feel anything at all… #and everyone around me is living life so much and I’m just here feeling like I can barely keep up with conversations as they’re happening #I’m tired… I feel like God is a far away idea that I’m struggling to hold onto… I feel like my mind is a bent and jumbled mess #like I grabbed hold of it and tried to crush it into the shape I thought it should be and now all I’ve got is a broken frame #I /know/ who I am and what I believe. I /know/ what my life is. but I don’t feel anything. #the only time I feel anything is sometimes when we’re singing at church I just cry at the sense of glory of something I can’t touch #and sometimes I shake with fear at the thought that I’ve ruined everything that could’ve ever been good about me #I’m oversharing on the internet again but I just don’t know what to do. I’m so tired. I want to see something beautiful and feel #the weight and glory of it again. but I feel like I can’t. all I feel is numbness. #I feel like I could sleep for months but every time I wake up I never feel refreshed. and I’ve been having bad dreams too. #adulthood kinda does suck can I please go back to being 5 #gurt says stuff #personal

sometimes it hits me that like. there is a pretty valid reason calling kiryu a granddad despite that being literally true feels Weird to me. and that’s the fact that. oh yeah. haruka has a baby at fuckin 19-20 years old. meaning kiryu is a granddad before he’s even 50.

#like that’s. pretty fucking young #she’s basically barely an adult so like no fucking wonder it feels like shit accelerated REAL fast when it comes to her growing up #like shit bro she’s only four years older than ME. and at this point she’d have a 7(?) year old???? holy shit #don’t get me wrong I know it’s not impossible or anything it’s just. yeah no fucking wonder people always refer to him like he’s way older #than he really is. he’s only 48 in y6. #maybe im a little biased cause my parents had me at 33 but. I mean stats don’t lie I’m pretty sure the average age of motherhood in japan is #like between 29-31 #hoo boy… #rambling #y6

i feel more alone n awful about myself now then when i had no friends n was some little loser 13 yr old

[hawnks]

also these two panels make me insane. like gojo almost WAS post-star plasma getou for this one panel. for one split second he really did believe it would be easier to just kill everyone than to deal with the fallout of loving someone mortal.

#also the fact that we see his eyes so much in the hidden inventory arc and then barely ever when he’s an adult is….. #like he lost his willingness to engage with this world in a genuine way. without the mask #it’s so wild to me because this arc is like THE inciting incident for both of their ideological scapes #Society is wrong. it must be rebuilt. #Love is the cruelest curse of all #and mortality is a scam #but where gojo is The Strongest and truly believes himself capable of saving everyone #or at least changing EVERYTHING #getou KNOWS he’s not strong enough to save everyone. he has the proof now after riko #and that breaks him #I’m losing my mind about this arc again I can’t stop thinking abt it 😵‍💫
