#had to start with twice of course

[canisalbus]

I find little Machete being happy over bread baking to be so endearing, especially because I can imagine a world in which helping with baking was one of the few childhood joys he had (due to the lack of art of him happy as a pup), and then remembering the art you did months back of modern Machete making a souffle, I can see reincarnated Machete being drawn towards baking in his free time due to those residual feelings from his past life.

.

#aww dang #it's funny you remembered the souffle and made that connection #I didn't even think of that but it's very fitting #to be fair the part of his childhood he spent as an oblate in the monastery was relatively worry-free and uneventful #small children are good at making their own fun it often doesn't take much to make them happy #Machete was nervous and sensitive as a kid that's just part of his innate personality but that doesn't mean he was miserable all the time #things started to get difficult when he was old enough to start his apprenticeship #and his master was way harsher than he was prepared to handle #answered #lunalemures #his life would've been less turbulent if he had chosen to stay in the monastery and become a monk instead of pursuing a clerical career #baking bread or tending the library #with bland regular meals twice a day and bedtime at 6 pm #but he would've never met Vasco of course

hello professor could you please tell me why you thought it was ok to assign double the normal homework and also a final test all due in the same span of time to your students who you know have other classes thanks

#my ears started ringing in the middle of typing this out #six full assignments (four of them quizzes two of them where you have to come up with like nine discussion questions each) #And a final exam. #due in less than 2 days #and also im in an animation course so 90 percent of my time had to be devoted to my final short which was due monday. #and i think i managed to fail Logic twice in a row now. Murder me. I want to be done with General Credits so badly please god #And guess what the college I want to transfer to doesnt accept logic as a math credit the way that other universities/degrees might-- #--so i took it twice for nothing and fucked up my gpa for nothing :)

its kinda funny how much I stressed myself out abt starting meds when day 1 they've literally had no effect whatsoever

#no side effects but no positive effects either. ik it can take a little while to start seeing any benefit tho + this is the lowest dose #but my week 2 course is twice the dose so we'll see next week if that changes anything #i do have a bit of throat tightness/soreness but idk if thats related to this or if im just coming down with a cold bc- #my throats been a little tight and hoarse the last week anyway 🤷‍♂️ #plus i had a spicy soup for lunch + im sensitive + get acid reflux easily so it might just be that. we'll see how tomorrow fares.. #.diaries #its probably good to update on tumblr tbh bc i can just look back thru my diaries tag when i have to fill out the form on thurs #i wont remember to write down side effects or whatever otherwise #anyyyway. dinnertime

I think it is very telling that the first thing I did after finishing my last two exams was do an undignified jig, pump my fist in the air, dump all my school books at home, leg it to a nearby cafe, order a medium matcha latte with oat milk, and proceed to write Lockwood and Co fanfic for four hours

#feels right feels natural i'm back in my natural habitat! #in the course of a few days i have also watched s3 of the chosen with a great deal of tears and also painted six things taken two walks #listened to HOURS of music made it almost all the way through Gilead (audiobook) started reading Dickens again #chased giggling Sunday School kids around after the service cried at church twice and slept for ten hours in a row #freedom tastes very sweet indeed!!! #chronicling year of feeling 22 #incredible that after churning out about 4k words in six hours i had energy for another four hours to churn out even more words lol #i have been WAITING to write my fittes fic i have been champing at the bit to writeeeee

cassidy surviving william's attempt on her life and swearing revenge as a very alive and very angry grade schooler sounds like an interesting plot point

flkdsjfl;jsdlkfj, it does! I'm just not 100% sure where she'd fit in. The AU's primarily Mike and Evan trying to sneak around Will while repairing their relationship under the most... awkward (understatement) of circumstances. Although....

Another idea I had involved Mike becoming obsessed with studying the paranormal and supernatural in order to learn how to help Evan as best he can. And given the time frame*, this got Mike labelled as a satanist by the people of Hurricane and made him even more of an outcast than he already was. Some even began gossiping that the Bite of '83 was him sacrificing his brother to the devil.

This ties back to Cassidy, I swear.

So, let's say Cassidy survives the attempt on her life and vows vengeance on Will. Not so easy for a teeny kid. And maybe she tries to tell her parents or someone that the man in the bunny costume tried to kill her, but Will is charming and charismatic and manages to convince people that the attempt on her life was simply the result of her overactive imagination. Poor Cassidy gets away with her life, but everyone assumes that she was either lying or getting worked up over nothing and trying to get poor Mr. Afton in trouble.

So she starts keeping an eye on the Aftons, and that's how weird, gloomy, secretive, supposed demon-worshipping Michael catches her eye. She notices that he skips school a lot, never socializes with anyone, and aside from checking the library for things that make suburban moms clutch their pearls, never really leaves his house. She also notices that he and his murdering dad aren't exactly close. It's a risk, but she decides it might be worth trying to figure out what his deal is in order to get the evidence she needs to prove that William is a murderer.

#*a moral panic during the 1980s that consisted of over 120000 unsubstantiated cases of ritualistic abuse #sorry if this is a bit jumbled I literally only thought of it bc of this ask #and kind of blurted it out #but I like the idea of Cassidy (eventually) being brought into the Afton bros' secret #another thought I had was that since Michael obviously knows about ghosts #and that they can possess animatronics #he'd put 2+2 together and realize that Charlie's in the puppet #which would of course lead to him sneaking her into his house too #and so Michael's and Evan's social circle expands from being just the two of them #danke shoen for the ask! #in Ever After I made Mike about 3-ish years older than Evan and Elizabeth #and I imagine Evan and Cassidy are the same age or at least very close #in Ever After I made Mike about 5-ish years older than Evan and Elizabeth #so imagine a 10 year old Cassidy stalking 15 year old Mike trying to figure out if he's a murderer or at least knows murder-y stuff #meanwhile Mike's just very confused by this little goblin who's suddenly started showing up everywhere he goes #and trying very very hard to make sure she doesn't find out about Evbear #Evan's kind of amused by the whole situation and curious about this kid Mike's mentioned once or twice #the reason the blurb about Mike being obsessed with occult stuff was bc in my head Cassidy goes goth as she grows up #so I was gonna say something about how they kinda click and form a weird rapport #but I kinda lost that train of thought up there #ask #anonymous #Evbear AU

#i went to a family party #all my cousins were there with they partners #even my brother that travel with us brings his partner #and of course they asked. how could they not? #i wanted to say half the truth to not fully lie by saying “oh she could not come” but they sure are hard to please with vage answers #and so i was forced to said “because she is my partner no longer” #the avalanche of questions was more of what i could handle emotionally and started crying #it has being a little more than a month since the separation and now all my cousins are saying “you will find someone else” #motherfucker i am grieving in here! my romantic relationship are long-term. there is not a way i can heal and forget in so little time #i wanted to marry her!!! for fuck sake #“she is going to regret and came back / in the future she may come back” #it was a one-side breakup. by her decision. and she had a crush who wanted to be intimate with #do you believe she will be back before doing something with him? i would not be so hopeful. I had rules to precisely avoid this #“you worth it” if i am. the ones i loved the most would not have left for someone else. it happend twice #i yearn for the day someone loves me and likes me for what i am without having eyes for anybody else.

hrlfnsdfcndsbl I don't want to go to work today..... "enjoy your quiet week" they said on christmas eve, sike, it's been really fucking busy ever since and the store's a complete mess and we're out of everything and there's no time to restock or do dishes or even have a fucking drink of water............. I stayed back half an hour on boxing day because we were getting overrun during shift handover, came in an hour early on tuesday to cover a sick teammate, lost my fucking day off and had to work the evening shift last night because of another sick teammate (in the 3 customer-facing hours I had I think I got a combined total of <5 minutes to do anything except serve a literally endless stream of people), back in again tonight with a worse team on and then again tomorrow morning, meanwhile the rest of out staff have all gotten to have at least one day off in all of this and I'm the only dumbass stuck working it all... and then I have one day of rest on sunday and then back in again new years' day and the next...

#i'm so tired #I woke up at 7am yesterday to get to the shops for some flowers for mum and then got home at 11pm after work #have barely gotten to eat anything in all of this #I'm about to go apeshit if any customer starts acting up again today I swear... some real fuckos this past week and I'm done with it #we're not allowed to stop drinks early but we had no packup done and had to stop taking orders 20mins before close last night #and of course we had like five people getting really angry that they can't have their fucking late-night lrg mocha almond 90 degrees or w/e #we ran out of chocolate twice with tons of drinks and no time to make more so we had to stop service midway twice anyway #I coulnd't even wash a single milkshake jug without being accosted by another customer as soon as I turned to the sink #I quite literally got nothing done except serve people endlessly for 3 hours straight without a break... I won't be surprised if I lose my- #-voice after having to shout over the sound of blenders and machinery and a packed store for five days in a row #fuck this honestly #I said I wouldn't do it again this year and once again I find myself stuck doing it anyway... nobody gives a damn if they're not the ones- #-suffering to work it #rant #kate being trash

I'M DONEEEE with bg3!!!!!! CREDITS ROLLING! almost 110 hours for one playthrough, doing the main + companion storylines and whatever sidequests i stumbled upon in the process. steam says i have 150 hours in the past two weeks, and since i didn't play EA any that shortly before release, those 40 extra hours are i guess from reloads and... does the time played displayed in-game not count loading screens? good lord i hope i didn't spend 20+ hours in loading screens. i think i spent about 30-35 hours in act 1, 30-35 in act 2, and the rest in act 3 (which would be my favorite if my performance in the city was better - but i at least never did have any crashes in it! just the first 2 acts)

some rambling thoughts on the ending/my playthrough in the tags, but tl;dr i'm not as underwhelmed as reddit led me to believe i would be (certainly less than i was by dos2's ending!), but i am frustrated by a great deal of visual bugs (flat textures, missing meshes, etc) i experienced in the ending cutscenes - but i have no idea how much was the game itself and how much was my computer not being up to the task (i'm leaning towards it being my computer, because it has a habit of making textures super fucked up after playing for a while, like they don't decompress properly or something and theyre 5 pixels big & nasty-looking, but also that's different than the bugs i got in the ending). i'm also confused by the lack of ending slides since those have been an rpg staple probably for as long as there have been rpgs. but overall: WOW I REALLY LIKED THIS VIDEO GAME. extremely worth the $60 i spent 3 years ago, and will be worth however much i have to spend to upgrade my computer to do it justice.

#SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS #READ THESE TAGS AT YOUR OWN RISK #so i ended up ditching the two-impulse-playthroughs concept at the start of act 3 #i couldn't commit both to being evil and also to playing the game twice as the same character in such a short span of time #so impulse consolidated into one astarion-romancing tadpole-eating mostly-chaotic-good disaster #they also romanced the emperor. because of course they did #what's that meme. *astarion voice* me my partner and the mind flayer that visits them in their dreams #yknow. the one with the $500 mareep plushie #but they actually faced no consequences for all their tadpole usage other than having a spooky face for act 3 #which no one ever commented on #so either they needed more tadpoles or i specifically had to pick the 'could i become illithid assimilate orpheus and use the stones' #option. which speaking of orpheus i am so sorry lae'zel i will do you justice next playthrough #uhhh what else. i'm not as unhappy with karlach's ending as reddit led me to believe either. but that's probably just because i love sad #endings. and also didn't fully romance her this playthrough. maybe i'd feel different if i did #the actual final boss fight was very very cool. gortash & orin's felt underwhelming compared to ketheric's #raphael's fight was super cool but mostly because of the disney villain song ass music. i managed to crowd him into a corner so it was just #a matter of hitting him over & over until he died. not that difficult #i never had to reload a fight more than once and that happened a single digit number of times. which i appreciate! i was on explorer #after all. the difficulty felt perfect - big fights were challenging and stressful but not frustrating to the point of tears #as they tended to be in EA for me. many an EA playthrough of mine ended against priestess gut #i got an achievement for saving every tiefling refugee i could #and specifically impulse killed the netherbrain & destroyed the tadpoles #i can't think of anything else. i like this game a lot #the companions & their storylines were the absolute highlight for me as they are in every rpg #even if i didn't properly complete lae'zels. or wyll's? i mean i broke his pact. and then found his dad who died anyway. but the quest was #never marked complete in my journal #the ending i got for gale felt strange to me too like bro youre really just gonna repeat the mistakes of your past self and that karsus guy #or whoever. i passed that dc 30 persuasion check and everything #still in awe of shadowheart & astarion's specifically. i'm sure i'll feel the same about lae'zels next playthrough #aaaand i hit the limit on tags! well. off to draw! maybe. i might sleep for 5 million years first. exhausting! 150 hours in 10 days!

I could write a whole essay on bgs who moved from cute to "mature" concepts and how they did so

#like svt astro and golcha all started firmly cemeted as CUTE AND BRIGHT groups that then transistioned into maturer concpets #i dont like saying mature because like what does that even MEAN but yknow? #i was going to include tbz in this but theyre actually different like yes they started off boyish and became more 'manly' (sexy) #but they always had more 'cool' concepts along side their cute ones #like yeah keeper and giddy up and bloom bloom are cute concepts at the start of their career BUT it doesnt define them as solidly because #they also have boy (boyish not cute under my usage) or right here and then they go into no air which is the beginning of their maturation #as opposed to say svt which has a clear delineation from the cute to the mature which begins with dont wanna cry #like of course they still have cute and fun songs afterwards but they now have a different (mature) feel to them #and the same goes for golcha and astro tho their delineation is also defined by a hiatus and renewed concept upon return #ALTHOUGH with golcha i would further argue that for golcha while still under the cute side genie IS the beginning of the transition into #the mature side that comes to be with wannabe #and again they do still have cute and bright concepts after the fact (eg pump it up) BUT it is not longer what defines them as a whole #i think of these examples because of how smoothly the transition progresses so it never feels like a giant leap into something wholly #different** #another example i would go to while not a bg is twice because i think they ALSO did this transition wonderfully #there are likely other older groups that did the same thing as well but i do not know them (baby) #i didnt intent to say so much in the tags but i got excited LMAO

y/n reader fantasies are a little embarrassing. i admit it. but, my fantasy of becoming tony montana's personal enemy that he always beats up by hand but never kill despite us being opposites in ideology and career is different i swear!!!

#scarface liveblogging #if youre curious here is x reader fanfic lore with him #i met him when he's a dishwasher. we talk and be super close friends. but then turns out im a union man trying to get him to join #so he beats me almost to death #but he still calls me asking me to join his drug business when he's succesful #saying i could be like manny and i could get all the power without being a commie #but yknow. im a union man whose friends are ruined because of cocaine. so i say no and beat him up this time #he's angry but couldnt bring himself to kill me #so he tries to stay away. but we keep crossing paths because he's a business and a drug lord #while im in a union and is trying to build something to reduce the cocaine epidemic #so we have semi regular hate dates where we meet in a random spot and beat each other senseless both physically and verbally #the winner gets to rob the pockets and wallets of the loser #we had sex once or twice #whenever he gets too stressed and paranoid he calls me to a neutral place. i wouldnt go to the fancy places he likes #im the only clear cut enemy he has. so he kept asking me why im the way i am. and i do the same. trying to understand ourselves by #examining our opposites. of course this conversation is filled with hostility and insults #we'll get each other so worked up one of us would punch each other. the other would start to leave #but one of use would pull back #and the fighting would turn into a full on make out session #we would have super violent dubiously safe sex #he wll give me an std

wisdom teeth successfully removed!

#emmett is yelling #yayyy #they kept having to give me more numbing stuff with every tooth which i expected bc i tend to be v sensitive to pain #i had asked for the combo of anti-anxiety meds in an iv and laughing gas #but my veins are so uncooperative/small and they tried twice and gave up so i didn't have to be a human pin cushion #so it was only laughing gas and of course novacaine/lidocaine wtv they used but honestly it was not terrible #like a really long root canal in four teeth with a lot more pressure #heading home now and starting to get a lil feeling back in my face #mostly just feels big and numb tho #person suit

had a dream my friend and I got carjacked, and this random famous guy was there (but his car did Not get carjacked), and then my friend got stabbed twice. so that was fun 

#it felt so so real #every second of it. from finding the parking spot being like sweet! #to walking 20 meters then realizing the car behind us was sus #and that we should move our cars #then going back and being confronted by 3 guys hanging around that car one of which had a knife another a handgun #the famous guy asked questions to make it seem like his car was not worth being stolen #and they were like yea your car isn't worth it to us #we let them start stripping my car for parts #then out of nowhere they stab my friend twice and it was so scary like she was literally bleeding out in my arms while famous guy called 911 #then of course that's when all of the passerby show up out of nowhere

I have a dentist appointment in two hours and my stomach has been tying itself in knots ever since I woke up this morning. It’s just a cleaning! But I had a lot of traumatic visits to the dentist when I was a kid that now my brain just equates dentist with evil.

#my dentist when I was a kid convinced my mom that my baby teeth would never fall out on their own #and that they needed to be pulled before my adult teeth started coming in #so over the course of six or seven years I had twenty teeth pulled #and he never believed me when I said I needed more novocaine #I’ve always needed more pain meds that doctors think I do #(there’s an actual study now that says that people wit red hair need more pain medication than other people #something to do with how our pain receptors work I think) #anyway just the sound of dental tools against my teeth freaks me out #my blood pressure spikes and I usually end up squeezing my hands together hard enough to hurt myself #but I go twice a year like clockwork because I’d rather deal with the anxiety than have to have serious dental work done #ugh why did I not take the entire day off of work?

in hindsight i do see how saying thats a lie instead of something like thats not true or just being like no i bought it contributed to the pressure cooker of the situation but i still get mad when i think about this

#but i absolutely could have started off the conversation with where is my soap. but instead i asked the people who had been in my apartment #for a week while i wasnt there before i moved out if they knew where the soap that i left in the apartment before i left was #because of course they did. they were the only ones there! unless one of their guests that they never told me were coming over in the middle #of covid before any vaccine had been created #unless one of those fifty people who would come over every night without me knowing took it! btw i directly asked them when you have someone #coming over please let me know. you dont have to ask for permission i would just like to know when people who dont live here are going to be #in my apartment. and i said this in our second week of living together when it happened for the first time #i got notice that people were coming over like once maybe twice. sometimes i would overhear them talking about people coming over and find #out that way at least! #the nerve to accuse me of stealing like everything that they lost they blamed me for eating their ham and chicken chow mein when I WAS #LITERALLY VEGETARIAN like they would either eat their own food and forget about it or eat each others food and then just blame it on me. and #then they actually stole my shit! and tried to steal more! and got mad that i took the things that i paid for when i moved out! #they said we were splitting the cost of a vacuum three ways but made me pay more than the two of them for it. and then got so mad when i #took the vacuum (BECAUSE I PAID FOR MOST OF IT) that my mom just made me pay them what they paid #I DIDNT GET MY SHARE OF THE COUCH BACK BTW!!! OR THE TV TABLE!!!!! and btw their excuse for making me pay more for the vacuum was oh well we #also bought something else with the money you gave us for the vacuum and didnt tell you about it. so actually its was completely fair. 🙄 #sorry theyre so fucking infuriating like literally roommates from hell but somehow i was the shit roommate #and i was the reason we had rats 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 like be fucking for real like be serious for one time in your life at least. please.
