Mr. Geeky, Mars, and I are about to go test drive one of the cars we're seriously considering buying and, y'all, I'm so tired of looking at cars I'd be tempted to just buy this one if it weren't for the fact that I fucking refuse to do this again unless I absolutely have to so we are going to buy a car that is as fucking amazing as we can afford and that's from a brand that fucking lasts.

(Today is a Mazda, can't remember which one. This upcoming weekend we're going to look at Toyotas. Hondas, after looking, have already been nixed.)

#geeky talks #mr geeky and i don't really want to buy a car #we've really been fine doing without one for years #but the past few years we've just found ourselves renting cars more and more #and at some point you need to admit defeat #so here we are

finally worked out a version of my riddler i actually kinda like. he has a new look almost every year, this man is not consistent at all. waynetech edward is not as sexy a look as he thought it was at the time.

literally just an amalgamation of all my fave riddlers into one, just very ZY inspired bc he’s my fave and i wanna smooch him <3

#batman #my art #dc fanart #the riddler #batman fanart #edward nashton #dc riddler #edward nygma #edward nigma #my eddie #very stereotypical geeky dude #like he will rant to you for hours about internet safety #and then download the sketchiest shit ever #just mansplains shit to u and if u zone out ONCE he’s restarting the entire talk

the main reason I will always be obsessed with David Tennant is that fundamentally, we share the same mental illness

#I’m constantly in awe of him #and obv he's immensely talented and attractive and a great person #but that man is clearly insane #i mean he sits and writes 10k essays on the homoerotic subtext of shakespeare #he can't sit still for like 2 seconds #or sit normally on a chair #he thinks using real skulls for hamlet is cool (it is) #he says things like “i'd rather hide under a table than go out” and “i wear hoodies so people don't talk to me (they assume I'm a murderer) #he faked an assistant to get out of attending events #is obsessive about his geeky shows #is somewhat an adrenaline junkie. said about doing theatre; #“it was horrible and it was actually killing me. but once it was over i ofc thought to myself 'oh i think i might have to do that again” #in interviews he keeps going off in tangents and looses the complete point of the question #i mean i just watched one where he was asked about his first day on set on doctor who #and he somehow ended up on passionately speaking how we are all fucked if donald trump is elected (this was before he was president) #and nearly started an anti-trump campaign (king) #has the chronic inability to make sartorial choices that would result in anything but the gayest outfits #has imposter syndrome #ofc i can only aspire to be fractionally as cool as him #but all this actually deeply relatable #this is probably why tumblr likes him so much #david tenannt

big fan of ethory as childhood friends that got pulled apart due to kid-typical "um why are you friends with him. Hes Weird." status quo and ethan still having a soft spot for him. they grow up and rory still thinks theyre besties and even remembers their inside jokes and handshakes from when they were younger. ethan hasnt forgotten them either.

#ethory #he still thinks rory is something of a pest but its his pest-like behavior and unbiased kindness that make him soft #hes like well rory is still annoying but he makes me laugh when no one else is looking. and i kinda like talking about geeky stuff with him #-> and not having it be an end-all-be-all of our friendship. also hes s'darn cute

Thoughts on The End of Evangelion (from someone who had never seen the tv show and after watching a video essay about how the movie is a hate letter to uber fanboys):

Boy, this movie sure expects you to have seen the tv series because they explain nothing.

So much vaginal imagery and somethings just straight up vaginas in foreheads getting stabbed.

Watching a grown woman kiss a 14-year-old boy for 20 seconds sure was fun and not super gross. (Mr. Geeky and I discussed afterwards if it was supposed to be seen as a gross thing and we're both leaning toward, yes, it was.)

For the first part of the movie I was like "oh yeah, this is definitely a hate letter to fanboys'", then the second part I was like "hmmm, maybe not", and the then the last part I was like "holy fuck, yeah, this dude hated the uber fanboys, especially the way they treated the girls and women in this show".

I missed out on basically all the plot (since I knew almost nothing about the terms and such) but it was a very visually interesting movie so I think it was well worth watching on the big screen. I wish there were more mech fights, though, cause they only had one and it was *really* good.

This show was really quite mean to Shinji, fanboy stand-in, and I'm all here for it.

Going back to the movie's commentary on fanboys' treatment of the girls/women in the show: This movie has a *lot* of female nudity (almost all of them 14-year-old girls) but none of it really felt gratuitous to me, which I found really shocking. The nudity always felt like it served a purpose or a statement about the treatment of girls/women by fanboys. (This is extra fascinating as Mr. Geeky tells me the show could be very fanservicy.)

There's an entire scene where Shinji is basically hallucinating all the girls/women telling him he's just a fucking awful human being and it was amazing.

"But maybe you're seeing too much into the girls/women aspect." The literal first scene of the movie is Shinji masturbating over Asuka's comatose body. The literal last scene of the movie is him straddling Asuka and choking her and, after stopping, collapsing on her chest and begging her to help him. Like, the movie is not subtle about showing that Shinji is shitty to girls/women.

Overall both Mr. Geeky and I agree with Dan Olsen and the theory that this movie is basically a hate letter to uber fanboys. That's not all it is, but that's very much a huge part of what it is.

#geeky talks #geeky talks tv #geeky talks movies #mr geeky and i are actually discussing whether or not #we should try watching the newest remake/reimagining of the show #i'd be interested in seeing how that version ended #this was actually a really fun movie to see on the big screen #it's only in theaters for two days #yesterday and then i think tues or Wed? #so if you want to see it #it's not gonna hurt to see if there's a theater near you

my community theatre is doing Little Shop of Horrors in January next year (but the auditions are next month because there will likely be a winter break in the middle) and I was like "it's a fun show but I don't know who I'd go for if I auditioned, there aren't any roles that really suit me"

and my dad goes "I dunno, it could be fun to see you as Seymour"

so guess what I'm going for now

#i'm doing some makeup/tech stuff in the meantime but I don't have any other cast roles until january (if i get cast that is) #i mean i kinda doubt i'm gonna get it bc i'm an afab punk and definitely not a quiet geeky guy #but hey the wonders of acting. and i can be a pretty good chameleon when i want to #and if nothing else it'll be fun to try. i've never had a lead role in anything so might as well shoot for it #plus hey they listen to me talk about superheroes or star wars for more than thirty seconds and realize i was a supergeek all along #community theatre #little shop of horrors

Security Breach is super important for me!

As a nerd, videogames mean a lot to me! and I was losing passion for it because how stale it all had become! And I didnt even know..

This game's overambitious fresh new direction, reiginited the flame that was about to go out forever!

It also inspired me even more to think out of the box with my own projects!!

I wanna keep making new concepts that are super unique but also fun! Something to shake everything up!

the first project i created after years of not crocheting was a dicebag for myself - I'm going to start my first dnd campaign sooon (<3)

so what should it be? something easy, let's have a look arou.... oh. or I could make a d12? sure

step 1: find a sturdy looking pentagon pattern and crochet 12 pentagons

we are getting there

step 2 I needed numbers on them, so I was trying to find crochet numbers. they were all too big, so I decide to just create chains in white and sew them on.

this was the longest part of the whole project by the way. crocheting the pentagons? the shortest.

(on the paper next to the pentagons i was trying to figure out, how many chains will i need for each of the numbers)

I decided to use the "wrong side" for the numbers because it was slightly easier to sew them on. maybe next time i should prepare and plan things?

part 3

assembly!

and then the poor thing got stuck in limbo for weeks. i hate the finishing touches, especially hiding the excess yarn (which is like 10 minutes, but just... no) but now i finished it, so the blog is doing it's purpose i guess :)

I still have to figure out how i want to close it - i don't really like the zipper idea, so i might add picot border on both sides of the opening and use strings, but i am not sure yet. if anyone has ideas how else could i solve it, feel free to add :)

i used scrap yarn, and a 2.5 hook for the pentagons and assembly, and probably a 2 for the letters.

not the prettiest project ever, but it's mine, and i will carry it with me to glorious adventures :)

#my own art #crochet #crafts #fibre arts #geeky #dicebag #d12 dice #crochet dicebag #first project in a long time #planning? what planning? #i will try to find the pentagon pattern if i can #i'll post the finished object once it has its string too #i am so excited about the dnd #i'm gonna have a wizard character #i'm a newbie #but i listened to a lot of dnd talk from SO and his best friend #goblincrafts

Been seeing some people agree that Wish's plot could've been better/have more substance to it if Asha was Magnifico and Amaya's daughter and the Princess of Rosas instead of just some unrelated character. It has occurred to me that this one little story change would also make the villain song make more sense.

Think about it: just make a few changes to the lyrics, and what do you get? A song about a father who thinks his daughter doesn't respect him. That she owes him for keeping a roof over her head and keeping her safe. He does all that, and even trusts her enough to teach her magic perhaps and also show her how the wishes are kept, and she dares to question his methods and try to go against them?

It wouldn't fix everything else wrong with "The Thanks I Get" but it'd be a start.

#disney wish #geeky speaks #i swear im done talking about this movie and what it couldve been now #see you in like a month when i remember it exists again and make a full animatic rewritting one of the scenes or something
