Thank you. I'm sorry.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #jin guangyao #lan wangij #jin ling #LWJ shifting into fight mode was so damn cool. He is always ready to start throwing hands. #It's in a way that befits someone with a bit more bloodlust that his calm demeanor lets on - but nearly always in defense of someone. #What a great synergy with his personal philosophies! see that he is a Genuinely Noble Guy time and time again! #Is is also way more hilarious and unhinged than most people give him credit for? Also yes. #Nothing and no one ever said he did not or would not rip off JGY's hat mid-fight. I think LWJ needs to snatch more wigs LITERALLY. #Yes I'm delaying the part where I have to address the emotional turmoil of Jin Ling stabbing wwx. It gutted me terribly. #What is worse that realizing that someone you respected has done horrible things #than discovering someone who did horrible things being a kind and trustworthy person? #What is more horrifying that realizing other people are extremely complex and cannot be categorized into black and white? #When people hurt us or our loved ones we very much want to make them out to be irredeemable monsters. But they are not. #It is not actually such a terrible fate to just be a person. To be forgiven and forgive is possible. To change is possible. #This lesson is hard. It is something you have to actively challenge yourself to do. Black and white is the innate path to go down. #And its *why* I love Jin Ling so much. He is the character who fights the longest and hardest to challenge social and personal beliefs #He gets a pass for stabbing wwx for being so deliciously conflicted and tormented by it. #And with wrists THAT limp I can't imagine the wound was particularly deep

"Oh so when James Kirk refuses to believe in no-win scenarios it's 'changing the conditions of the test' and 'commendable original thinking,' but when I, Bradward Boimler, can't accept the possibility of failure and retake the Kobiyashi Maru sixteen times–"

#lower decks #star trek lower decks #brad boimler #in my headcanon his first performance wasn't *great* but he did technically pass #but by refusing to accept that he hadn't beat the test and insisting on retaking it he turned his pass into a fail #and he *kept* retaking it until the instructor point-blank told him that there was no way to beat the program #And that the whole point was to experience personal failure #And *even then* Boims was like “so you mean by failing I actually HAVEN'T failed at all!” #“No that's not– ugh you know what sure. Gold star kid. Just get out of my office." ”Did I get an A+?“ ”OUT!“ #Completely missed the point of the exam and they basically pity-passed him after the seventeenth try #Mariner on the other hand already knew what the point of the test was ahead of time #(She didn't cheat she was still a goody-two-shoes at this point) (An older classmate or friend happened to mention it around her) #But she *did* think it was a bullshit test and just pretended to be humbled and accept defeat in order to get a good grade #She doesn't believe in no-win scenarios either #It's part of what makes them a good team

i have a counter argument to the 'only one person can boop bill' thing, mabel. she's the type of person to slap stickers on people, she would definitely be the type to also boop others occasionally and bill would be no exception. she probably doesn't do it to annoy bill like dipper would, but maybe as a form of a friendly gesture, kind of like those people who will lightly punch friends in the arm when they hang out.

You know what? Good point. Mabel would get away with more than most, as a fun-loving lady! Bill understands those impulses, and being a touchy person! He indulges in similar ones himself.

Though when Bill's not in the mood to be playful and gets booped anyway? The 'sister-in-law' status grants her considerable grace.

#answers #Though in addition to that - Mabel's general chaos and level of Fun Times is something Bill genuinely likes #Catch these two having one too many margaritas and slinging arms over each other's shoulders while singing too loud and off key #She'd have some leeway even without the brother situation #But Mabel gets a pass on things she normally wouldn't purely on the merit of 'this would piss off the spouse' #The thing about Bill is he's genuinely fun to party with - right up until he decides you're the pinata #Even now there are times when she thinks she's doing something 'cute' and Bill was NOT in the mood but just has to grin and bear it #Instead of breaking fingers one by one #Dipper is singular in his ability to get away with Pretty Much Everything #It's love yest but it's also communication and personality I'm afraid #If Bill DID call Dipper out on doing something Too Far he'd get an embarrassed and apologetic husband. With kisses of sorry. #Though in minor circumstances: he starts arguing with him #Turns out that bickering is a better way to deescalate with Bill than most other tactics and Dipper's a pro #Now Bill's gotta think semi-rationally to Win The Argument instead of acting on impulse. #And in the process of debate he not only: learns where his husband's coming from but has time to cool off #Congratulations Dipper! Your Nerdy Logic brain and ability to Rise to a Challenge prevent Bill from going immediately nuclear #Plus showing off that big sexy intellect of yours doesn't hurt #Whereas I see Mabel pushing one of Bill's few boundaries and then deflecting. She ain't great at conflict #Brushing it off and laughing; Jeez it was just for fun!! Lighten up already! #Exactly what Bill says when HE'S being a dick to someone! #Which is why he'd react Very Badly to that excuse #Ha ha! Fun! Of course Bill loves fun! You know what HE thinks is FUN #Barbecue. Flash-fried pork ribs. Where's that stupid pig #Dipper has to disarm that particular bomb and I highly doubt it's a pleasant process

Going off the Ingo and Emmet had a big fight before Ingo gets ebbie debbied.

I can only imagine how Spice would feel about this. Like they try to psychologically torment Ingo who only as fragments of memories, at best, of who he was and the people in his life. Spice fails, ends up being the warden's partner, and worst of all ends up having an emotional attachment with this man. Spice won't admit it, but he's come to like the strange human.

Fast forward and Ingo get undebbied from the past. Spice and the other pokemon follow cause they care deeply for Ingo and don't want him to be on his own like he was in Hisui. A wacky adventure begins and everything really looks hopeful from here on out.

And then they find Emmet and then it all goes south. Spice (in his Zoroark form) and the rest wait out as the brothers talk, until they can hear yelling. They hear the slamming of a door open and see Ingo yelling at Emmet to just listen to him, but before he can finish Emmet pushes Ingo to the ground.

All hell breaks loose. The other pokemon react but Spice is faster. He gets in-between Emmet and Ingo putting some space between the two, and while facing Emmet, he transforms. Emmet now faces himself but this him is not smiling and his eyes are full of scorn.

Emmet's Psychological Torture 2: Electric Boogaloo. This time with intent to kill

Ougggh... good food

#hoof draws #replacement ingo au #<-i actually like the concept of emmet being irrationally furious at ingo for a second after they reunite #like. processed as 'all this trauma and grief happened because ingo disappeared' --> it's ingo's fault #also tangentially. i like spice and sugar being like. shapeshifting entities who don't necessarily change or age with time #so the twins themselves get older and visibly worn and ragged with time #whereas sugar and spice are still mimicking the mid 20's version of their respective trainers #and eventually become representative of this tragic 'we can never go back to what we were before' thing #neway. all that to say emmet storms off to brood in his brooding spot while sugar tries to comfort him #while he's like. trying to rationalize being so angry at ingo . and after a bit looks up at sugar #who looks the way he remembers ingo in their younger years when they had a great relationship. watching movies together and whatnot #and emmet has a moment of like. god . i miss my brother :[ #--> and has to go running the city looking for ingo #(he's passed out from crying in spice's lap at the park. spice threatens to bite emmet if he gets any closer when he shows up)

I love being someone's science experiment

#personal #read: #my top surgeon continues to be fascinated by me #last time it was because I said it was fascinating to watch him pull stitches out of my chest #(he said the last guy had passed out so he kept asking if I was okay) #this time it's because of how well my nerves reconnected on one side #apparently it's not very normal to have good skin sensation in nipple grafts #but here we are #he put a note in my chart and seemed...excited? #he really looked like he wanted to say ''oh cool!'' or ''weird!'' #but he just said ''huh!'' and seemed enthused #he also kept saying ''oh you look *good*'' in a way that was very genuine #and he's right #my chest looks great #but some part of me wants to be like #intense about his reaction. like #o sculptor of flesh. how do you feel when you behold your creations? #is your vision of yourself one of an artist or of a doctor? is this the line you blur? #anyway that'd be weird so I don't say stuff like that #but I do *want* to #sbs rambles #in the tags #gender #top surgery

crashes ur board meeting n drags u out by the collar but its fine bc youre the one always saying shit like "im looking for people i can use" ok lol. get used idiot

#just tracing like. the sequence of events that had to take place in order for this to come to pass #1. natori and his shiki are skulking around homura stalking ban. possibly it's just his shiki and natori is elsewhere. #either way 2. natsume shows up and natori learns about it either bc he witnesses it or a shiki comes to tell him #3. natori gets in his little richard scarry apple car (this is my mental image for some reason) & fucking. BOOKS IT to the matoba compound #4. goes inside. presumably matoba lackeys try to stop him bc their boss is in an important meeting but somehow he gets past them #(possibilities here are v fun to think about. maybe natori does this all the time and they're used to it. maybe he's never done it before #but they're all on orders to let natori in if he ever shows up. maybe natori convinces them he's supposed to be IN the meeting #which is great because it sounds like some important clan thing so what is he in the clan now??) #5. interrupts matoba's meeting like 'i need you' and matoba's like 'bye everyone whatever this is is more important' #6. they get in natori's comical apple car (again the apple car is not canon don't worry about it) #& natori drives like a bat out of hell back to homura. (SOURCE: matoba is so scarred he refuses natori's offer for a ride later) #i wonder what they talk about on the way there? because they don't talk about why natori is stalking ban until much later #so they must be busy talking about something else. but what?? #that or they're both too distracted by all the near-death experiences from natori's crazed driving lol #natsume's book of friends #natsume yuujinchou #homura cats arc #horrible exorcists #my posts #sidenote i feel like that page at the end where both matoba and sensei refuse natori's offers of a ride is really funny because #sensei's reason is that it will take too long. but sensei did you know natori drives like a speed demon? think it thru... #also like. how long did it take him to decide to involve matoba? was that his backup plan all along? #also it's pretty lucky that he found matoba at all considering he could be anywhere...the matoba have like 15 houses... #he has matoba's schedule memorized lol #natori sparkling to the assorted clan members in the meeting: sorry ladies and gentlemen i just need to borrow this~ #*throws matoba over his shoulder and fireman-carries him to the parking lot*

fr is he, you know.............................................repeatedly described as being Impersonable and Lacking Charm and Pedantic and confused / bothered by things he supposedly shouldn't be while inspiring confusion / botherment in others in ways he supposedly shouldn't and like 99.9% of the grief he's given is over All That while he's just sitting or standing there rather than the like intimidatingly efficient hitman georg thing he has going on. which is in fact The Skill That Makes Him Useful Despite It All and also perhaps the least foothold in interactions because [worried he can & may kill you] affords power when otherwise just being the weird guy nobody likes(tm)

bonus mordecai balling

#lackadaisy #not exactly Necessarily intentional but like oh you don't say #something something liking patterns & order; though that overlaps w/the like fastidiousness that's just tied to backstory #but that even when picking up that particular trait he was apparently always Peculiar in the deemed Not Personable Way #like oh you don't say #can't really even truly hone in on 9000 murders/day when like. everyone's blowing people away out here. ya gotta #or certainly other people are doing it too lol. mordecai's Mostly differentiated from anyone else's hitmanning by demeanor/affect #and that demeanor/affect has everyone going sicko mode antagonizing him while he's decidedly just sitting there #like oh you don't say....epic mood re: the [how would mordecai approach being tasked with infant childcare] joke #held a baby once maybe twice and both times an exercise in simply like ah christ don't drop this thing countdown to passing it along #great minicomic lmao found in the uhh. gallery under....mini comics; penultimate one w/the baby cat jimmy carter as pictured as thumbnail #supporting his mystery contributions too....gotta be for real abt mitzi not shooting anyone but sure he may have noscoped atlas #though maybe also he did not; but we know they have some secret concerning atlas; even probably involving his death.... #vaguely wondering if atlas got whatever warning about [mystery thorn in marigold's side] as asa sweet mentions over that brunch #and perhaps would have chosen to back out of the business but mitzi was not about that & would arrange a Murder to inherit lackadaisy.... #but mordecai would have to have some reason to go along with that. Maybe as an out for working for atlas forever; but now he's at marigold #not exactly that different yet [themes re: The Other Paths Are Closed To You Forever for everyone out here] #while it might also be true that he left for marigold to try to figure out what's going on over there from the inside; as suggested.... #and whatever he's got going on he's Very Motivated about it as per the most recent comic pages. bold moves #anyways another accidentally autistic cat out here. for april. always a classic lol fr everyone leave him alone or else shoot at him yknow #i do support the mordecai & the savoys dream team there. reiterating i think nicodeme espesh could/should be the like surprise bestie & etc

I can forgive an illegal appendectomy but I draw the line at making Kellye sad

#mash #just started s11 #I love Hey You Look Me Over #Kellye getting her own episode is everything I ever wanted I was SO excited the first time I watched it #and it being all about her asserting her worth!! #her speech to Hawkeye is so good #I love that shes upset Hawkeye doesnt look her way but she doesnt NEED him to assure her ya know #shes hurt and shes pissed and like. as someone who grew up the chubby undesirable girl who got bullied for it #it resonates #and at the end of the day she doesnt NEED Hawkeye's attention #shes pissed off and hurt because he treats her differently because he's not attracted to her #which is fair!! he passes her over and ignores her #and I love that the point of the episode isnt that Hawkeye needs to learn to see that she's great despite appearances #which a lot of older stuff falls into with women who aren't 'conventionally' attractive #(a term I use loosely) #the lesson he learns is that he shouldn't be so shallow! #and I especially love that when he goes to make amends with Kellye she's already on a date #she IS desirable she IS cute as hell!! #and their dance at the end... very sweet #genuinely one of my favourite episodes

Anyway. The Hilda finale was a really great way to end the series and the series itself is really nice and a great example of modern fantasy and how to mix the fantastical with the mundane.

#it does aggravate me that it ended with that damn raven though #it was a great way to tie the narrative together and show how much time has passes #*passed #but also i will never forgive the show for calling him a thunderbird #keep your hands off my culture 🔫 #hilda

luffy with a reindeer, a cyborg and a skeleton in his crew seeing bepo for the first time and going "why is there a bear here" and "is the bear a pirate too?" is still extremely iconic btw

#great power move of him to think of everything he does as normal and deem everything everyone else does as weird #case in point looking and law and kidd fighting for the first time and going 'your powers are weird' #I'm sure you're right rubber man #on an unrelated note i reached law and luffy interacting for the first time and i cried true story #they're so !!!!!!!!!!!! #i read it and then went back and reread it #By The Way #the marines get there convinced luffy law and kidd were allied #then later on in marineford (the next time the marines see luffy) law shows up to save him #then then two years pass and the next news the marines have of luffy are that he took down punk hazard With Law #and then they're together in dressrosa and then in wano #do you think the marines just think luffy and law have been working together since sabaody #did they make law triple swear he had nothing to do with luffy when they appointed him as a shichibukai #are they now convinced he lied to them about not being luffy's ally #how do the marines even see luffy and law's alliance i wonder they're always in each other's pockets

all of the previously untranslated "dear society" suddenly got uploaded to mangakakalot a couple weeks ago out of no where so yes i DID read it and yes i DID cry doing so. several times in fact. i really liked it.

#(these tags contain spoilers) #a lot of the visuals were genuinely so cool too #like the way metaphorical immediacy was used to symbolize emotions was just perfect #i especially loved this one scene in the early chapters where hanakos telling kanesho who she likes #and is drawn as if shes stabbing him in the chest #and there isnt a cut back to ''reality'' for it- its fully depicted as if thats whats going on even though the audience clearly #just a metaphor #sometimes it was literally what was going on top of being a metaphor though. like when he just like #casually took out his old school uniform and burned it in some random ladys fire #the timeskip was also funny bc he was so ''damn. i hate society but i participate in it. curious.'' #also i like how hanako wasnt the wife foreshadowed at the start #like his initial crush on here was obvs pretty dependent but not in an unusual way for young teens lol #but it shows that that doesnt really matter passed highschool. like he said himself his world grew #i also really liked mizuho he was just a really cool guy #i fully expected him to be a bait and switch douchebag but he really wasnt. he was just cool and supportive #even when he got dumped! like #kanesho apologizing bc he likes girls and cant force himself to be in a relationship w a guy #(and mizuho at the time interpreters this to mean hes a lesbian) #his response is just. you have nothing to apologize for.... #ALSO a big fan of kino he was just such a great mentor for kanesho #obviously w different experiences like kino says. hes a gay man and kanesho is a trans guy so its different #but theres overlap and solidarity. they were both unfairly ostracized at school and kino was such a great support bc hes BEEN THERE #when he graduates and leaves his uniform for kanesho w the note ''now its your turn'' #dude. unreal. screaming crying throwuing up #loved the school nurse too she was just so supportive and nice. thank you school nurse for being cool. sorry i forgor your name

So anyways my plan for the next two months is to kickass at work while I get another job and then leave their asses.

#I'm so mad about this #I've been at this company for 6 years and for the most part everyone I've worked with has been great #Easy to get along with. Smart. Caring. #I've had some not so great bosses and every once in a while I've encountered problem people #But repeatedly one person (not in my vertical but a key person in my org) #Has repeatedly made me feel like shit. Even if she claims to mean well or whatever #I absolutely never feel like we're ok the same team. It always feels like it's her team or death #Which is not an environment I thrive in #And then her boss (who is also my bosses boss) either feeds into that or exacerbates it #I wish I had had the words during our engagement survey because I'm not the only one who feels this way #So many people go into a meeting with her expecting to talk about one thing and instead she asks for something else entirely #It consistently feels like she has no trust in her team and she does not want to foster a culture of 'we're in the same team' #She is fostering a culture of 'im the boss so I'll dictate exactly what I want and I am free to change it at any time' #So. Anyways. If you know of companies hiring in their product or portfolio space hit me up. #I spent 10 hours trying not to cry at work today and then had three separate little cries #Going to going with my boss a little about taking a week off soon #He's going to be alarmed and concerned but like. He should be. #(my boss is generally great my only complaint is that he hasn't figure out how to work with his boss yet so that's compounding my issues. #But that is not all on him. And he has never once made me feel like we're not on the same team) #Blah blah ok. Tomorrow I work and then do the life shit I didn't do today #The day after that I do a second pass at my resume #And use a working block at work to figure out what I want (and sketch out my teams pain points and potential solutions)

G’morning Icy! You have the Voice on a Monday? Or do you just watch it later? That’s such a Friday/weekend show in my head (because they broadcast ours on Friday and we watch it during the weekend so we can skip the adds, why is there so many adds?)

Also, where’s your voice at? Mine just started the live shows, so about 3ish week until the final.

-🌲

Morning Spruce!!!

WOAHHHH U WATCH THE VOICE TOO LETS GOOO

Ours is live on Monday/Tuesdays but since I work during it I watch the recording after I come home and skip the ads >:D (no seriously, why are there so many ads??#?#?#?#)

OOOH THATS SO EXCITING OMGOMGOGMGOMG

Ours just started the knockouts yippee, I've never watched an international one, are the rules different?? They keep changing it up every season. Like this season during battles the coaches had a playoff pass where instead of "saving" a contestant, the other person who didn't "win" the battle they could use a playoff pass to send them straight to playoffs so they can skip the knockouts

It's v interesting:0

But yeah!! So def have a couple months before finals wowieieieie

Also is urs only on one day a week?? Ours is split up into two times a week. On Mondays it's a two hour ep (with ads, so more like an hour and a half without ads) and Tuesdays it's an hour (45 mins without ads)

#foxieasks #spruce tag #i hadnt watched the voice in years but last season i saw my grandfather watching it and decided to start watching it with him again #both cause MAN last season was quite literally the best season in years (like the coaches themselves and everyone on twt was saying that) #but also bc i wanted to spend more time with him #my grandfather just uh passed away recently tho (literally Right around the w soot situation like WOW great time life thank you) #so its been really hard in general and i wasnt sure if i was gonna continue watching it #but i wanted to:( #it still makes me feel connected to him in a way yknow? #but yeah i get very emotional while watching it now #its bittersweet #both nice and really really sad

normally I'm not a fan of clip show episodes buuut I'm really enjoying the ones in season 6 of Night Court.

not just because of all the Dan stuff but... okay only 99% because of that.

also "not sleazy but ethically questionable in regards to women" - oh Daaan 🙄

#by far the best part is seeing all his pretty suits #and when his hair was longer and shorter :3 #and more or less grey :3 #very cute #and he's sooo awful 🥰 very nice summary of why I love him (unfortunately lol) #he's so funny. he's so so stupidly funny #it's nice to know that there's things that can overcome my insane morality issues #ooh this character did a not great thing once? hmm yeah the brain can't handle it sorry. #this man is the worst? horrible awful terrible not good ever in any way? yes please :) #it's a mystery why he gets a pass (it's because I find him insanely attractive and he's so fucking funny and it's simply too much) #(no seriously it's because I was already obsessed with him before I started watching the show and obsession is stronger than the issues so. #that makes it okay! #because yes I have to justify this to myself! can't just like him! I've got to fill out a form for my brain every time I accidentally think #about this :) hmm can we like him... no we can't... but WHAT IF...) #anyway whatever I just watched both these episodes twice lol #personal #night court #dan fielding #also. not relevant but he's definitely gained weight over these six seasons and. I'm only mentioning that because. I like it soooo much. 🥵 #he looks so good. ugggh #it does not matter but. I like it.
