i am having a day

when we were trying to find a fix for one of my Various Ailments it turned out my eye is slightly off and i could go for a glasses. so today mom decides to come along for my month-post-checkup checkup to have a look at glasses with me.

on the way back to my place she mentions her phone said something about airtags. she drops me off, then comes back inside to show me her phone and the tag thing. we go out and experiment with the popup and realize we can make an tag beep. it is coming from inside the jeep. we cannot find anything inside. we crawl on the ground under. the noise is absolutely coming form the jeep, somewhere around the right rear wheel, on the outside. we cannot fucking find anything.

mom has nothing of value and no drama. there would be no reason to track and rob her. we realize the app says the tag has been on her since 5:46am.. which was about when her partner left for 3 weeks on the oil rigs 🙃

we spend two fucking hours searching [lex coming home and getting his gear to really get in] and as best as we can figure, having oil rig money means you dont care about the cost of an airpod and just shoved it in the jeep's body so it could neither be found nor retrieved. he kept calling while we were looking and she didnt answer.

we dont know what to do. i was trying to convince her to let me answer and say "SORRY, MOMS UNDER THE JEEP RN. YEAH SOMEONE'S PUT A TRACKER ON HER CAR, WHICH IS A COMMON WAY ROBBERS FOLLOW YOU HOME AN HIT YOUR HOUSE, SO WE'RE TRYING TO FIND IT TO GIVE IT TO THE COPS SINCE IT TRACKS THE PHONE NUMBER OF WHO OWNS IT! BYEEEE :D " to make him shit his pants but she wouldnt let me 🙃

anyways shoutout to moms shitty bf who apparently can buy an airtag but not read "if this thing is on a person who doesnt own it for a bit, they get an alert that its there with the ability to track its location and see a map of how long it's travelled with them"

#text #stalking #giant yikes #im so rotted we couldnt find it #but i dont think anyone short of a mechanic can rn

Billy gets his curls from his mom.

Of course he does. Everything he actually likes about himself is mostly just because of her.

(And everything Neil despises about him is mostly just because of her.)

She didn’t leave many things when she left.

But, she left a dove grey scarf. A soft soil one that she would use to tie up her hair before she went to bed.

She told Billy it made her curls smoother, more defined, less frizzy.

Billy had forgotten about it. It was actually Steve that had found it in a box of miscellaneous items Billy was refusing to unpack, even after being in Hawkins for nearly six months.

Steve had let the cool silk run between his fingers.

“What’s this?” He asked, and Billy always likes how Steve can keep his voice even. Nonjudgmental.

“Scarf.”

Billy’s heart had tightened at the view of that scarf. He had forgotten about it.

“Why do you have it?”

“My mom. It was her’s.”

Steve just gave him a doe-eyed look, holding the scarf in front of him like some kind of precious artifact of Billy’s fucked up life.

“She used to wear them to bed. Tie her hair up, you know? She said it made her curls better.”

It always did. Her hair was always so beautiful. Sometimes she and Billy would sit in the back yard, in the soft grass, and she would brush out her hair. And they’d laugh at how huge it would get, but it was always as soft as the silk that Steve was holding.

Steve smiled, sitting down in front of Billy on his bed.

It was a rare moment of having the house to themselves.

Steve had parked three blocks away and walked, ducking around the back of the neighbor’s house to sneak in Billy’s window.

He reached up, clumsily tying the scarf around Billy’s head, tucking his hair in.

“There.” He smiled brightly, leaning forward to press a kiss to Billy’s heated cheek.

Billy started sleeping with the scarf.

Not only because his curls got better, (smoother, more defined, less frizzy, just like she always said) and not only because Steve liked to play with the thick ringlets, but because he missed her. He missed his mom every goddamn day of his goddamn life.

And sometimes, when he tied his hair up, he could pretend she had just done the knot for him. That she had tucked in any stray hairs and pinned the scarf to each side.

He’d do anything to feel close to her.

#I was thinking abt the difference of Billy’s hair in season 2 and season 3 #WHICH as a curly bitch to me I think it’s the Indiana humidity that gave him those giant curls all of a sudden #but all in all I am an H&M campaign wig truther. THATS the real Billy mullet #steve harrington #billy hargrove #harringrove #yikes writes

You draw meryl so tiny compared to vash omg djjgkdjxkf if i were him i would just start Crying over how widdol she is

I think he would start crying over how tiny she was before too but now? Boy, the floodgates are open. And I, for one, do not blame him.

#I drew this so fast and efficiently wtf #haven’t felt this obsessed in a while #she’s so hecking small #even tho the sizes vary in all of the sketches I did so far yikes #she’s just tiny ok? #toritalks #toridraws #g/t #giant/tiny #giant!vash #trigun stampede g/t

in other news tomorrow is match #3 for me and I suicide ranked only my home program. So.

#the match system is so dystopian if you think about it for more than 1 second #you interview at programs all over the country. you make your list of where to go. they make their list. #then a giant algorithm sorts people into their highest ranked program that also wants them back #so if you’re bound to a certain geographic area #you better hope it’s an undesirable place to live a non-academic program or that you’re the most stellar applicant #for residency I desperately wanted to leave my home state and matched at my 2nd choice but interviewed at 12 programs #for fellowship number one I interviewed at 10 places and matched my first choice #now with fellowship number two I interviewed at 4 places and only ranked one #we call that suicide ranking because it’s an all your eggs in one basket situation #either you get it or you don’t have a job. #it’s not a big deal for me really because I would otherwise just enter the workforce #but it’s actually late to look for work starting next academic year #essentially if I don’t match it’s going to be a scramble to find something #yikes. I know it will be fine. I’m a good candidate. I’ve been at this institution for 5 years #but I’m still super anxious

Morshid when he refuses and actively looks down upon showing any infliction of emotion in his actions or words and constantly berates those he loves "for their own good" so people assume he's emotionless and an asshole and that he doesn't care for them [guys I do care why can't u see it past this giant brick wall I've been painstakingly building for as long as you've known me]

#HE GETS BETTER !!!! pre-swk morshid is . yikes #oc: morshid lmk #pigsy hates morshid btw. morshid avoids pigsy at all costs because seeing him makes him feel a deep sense of shame #malik's rambles #morshid when people assume things about him based on the minimal information hes provided instead of reading his mind and realising he's #so different from how he presents himself #morshid biggest hypocrite on the planet btw #GIANT LOSERRR !!!! #blaze is feeling soft abt durian rn but hes not here so u guys only get that when Im done with my bullshit #alsowe r studying . likeok im so bad at staying focused and i dont like stusying #blaze does though sonim just waiting for him to come out and save me rn #lab finalnis this tuesday </3 BLAZEEVEV!!!!!

An assumption: your favorite version of Alice in Wonderland is the 1960s Disney version

i actually got attached to the live action one when i was younger 😭 it was so bizarre and she got to do Violence! and there were dragons!

#completely uncritically bc i haven’t seen it in years i liked it a lot as a kid #plus there were gt scenes…mini giant…. #tho that one struck me weird when i watched it later 😔 yikes #aha yes according to my persona i Should go for the sweet whimsical one huh #asks

[curiosity-killed]

Betrayed by my friend, my boss, and my favorite dance teacher all separately telling me that I should be gentler with myself and let myself rest >:(

#all in the last few days wtf #betrayal! at the uh. life #like yes my hip/leg has been flared up for a month #and yes I’m way behind in side work and yes #I do keep forgetting to eat but— #anyway I am going home and taking a hot shower and then cuddling up with my giant ice pack and some chocolate #and emailing side work person to apologize for the delay bc yike #personal

Oh no. I’ve been writing and haven’t been paying attention, just trying to hurry...and I just looked at the chapter count and it was longer than I thought it was and I just did the math for them all and I fear...this might be becoming too long.

#mumblings #I want to be like oops oh well #except for the fact there's a think line between oh wow and yikes and I fear I'm heading into yikes #there's a problem if you let the story tell itself and it just runs away dragging you behind and I've been enjoying it #but now I've realized I've not even gotten to where I need to be and while I have time this is overwhelming to be like hey here you go #me just dumping a giant book in front of someone 😭💀

[megoosa]

anybody else getting constantly bombarded with horribly racist ads for that mafia game??? thanks tumblr?????

#personal #they’re really awful #they’re all showing you playing a white mafia dude #and you’re always saving beautiful white women from this giant black dude labeled ‘thug’ #it’s a big yikes from me

Weird post, but I was watching vinesauce's robocop stream, which led me to watch some clips of the ED-209s from the Robocop remake, which reminded me of Israel's bullshit, which led me to read the comments of said clips and of course it was mainly people cooming over the sight of big robots killing brown people

And I bet if u made a movie where these big bois stomped around American cities/towns killing white people, audiences would be upset

#been a hot minute since I've seen any of the films #but yikes yall realize the og robocop was a satire right #about how ppl who wanna militarize the police #are greedy scumfuxks who wanna make a profit??? #and based on the clips I've seen from the remake #military occupation with death machines is also bad??? #like i dont think the point was fuck yeah giant robots occupying foreign countries good #its a cautionary tale against this shit #anyway fuck israel btw

#Marvel #Marvel comics #Marvel 616 #Giant-Size Man-Thing #Giant-Size Man-Thing vol. 1 #Giant-Size Man-Thing 1974 #Cover Gallery #Man-Thing #Ted Sallis #somehow this didn’t get posted when I wanted it too and has been saved in my drafts for six months (yikes) #so here is it now whoops mea culpa #yes…we’ve heard every joke possible about this title… #but for real though this issue is w i l d #because on the one hand in some parts it reads like an undergrad philosophy major’s ideal project #you’ve got the struggle between science and religion (whether science should be used to improve lives or if that’s man #interfering in the natural order of things) #early discussions of how technology could help the environment as opposed to merely destroy it #and some bonkers religious allegory for the creation of man highlighting the tension between self-actualization and #whether or not man was always fated (created???) to be imperfect??? #but then again the other half of the issue is two giant mud monsters just absolutely going at it #talk about whiplash

One interpretation of the fictional "Grundy Farm" from BBC Radio 4's farming radio drama "The Archers" suggests that the Grundys, this whole time, have had a MASSIVE horse and they've just never mentioned it

#ik they kind of have to have images for articles and such but...it's a radio play...I'm imagining things... #when they have pieces from the characters' POV and have pictures of the voice actors like those are. different people. but I AM glad they'r #getting credited for their input don't get me wrong!! it just feels odd to see a character name next to an actor who's 0% how I pictured #them bc there's very very very rarely physical attributes mentioned #like I picture Natasha of Tom-and-Natasha as south asian and nothing contradicts this IN the text #(apart from how clunky they are when they deliberately have south asian character...YIKES The Archers....) #it's not a perfect show lol #like everyone's cool and accepting but like. one of them said to his new south asian boss 'btw i did hate crimes in my youth I'm so sorry' #which is true and happened but like. why tell him. why put that burden of forgiveness on him. just be normal ??? #like his name's Adil Shah I think it was pretty clear that he's not white #anyway. I wanted to share the picture of the giant horsie hjsbvhjsf #the archers

When we meet aliens it's gonna be hard to explain the huge landfill with E.T. videogames.

Like, imagine we visit another planet, and they have a fucking mountain full of destroyed and hated media all about interacting with us.

#It will also be super awkward if the aliens turn out to look exactly like E.T. #double yikes #I'd rather explain to them why we thought they'd have giant penises on their heads when we made the Alien franchise #E.T. #E.T. videogame #aliens and ufos
