#i even have the quote picked out

[bambiraptorx]

i have an assignment that's due tonight and would take me 5-10 minutes to complete, so naturally I've spent like 3 hours researching prosthetic arms instead

#it's literally just writing a paragraph on a quote from some reading #i even have the quote picked out #i just can't make myself write the damn paragraph #bambi's rambling

#spinda #AAAHHHH YES!!! our belovèd spinda. from their café!!! probably one of my favorite minor characters from pmd sky #whom i don't even think was in the original explorers games. i think spinda's café was exclusive to sky. if i'm remembering correct #ly. or maybe that was shaymin village. i know shaymin village was for sure but maybe it was just that and not both of them. either way #have a delicious drink and allow the flower of conversation to bloom! i could quote spinda all day. he had “hopes and dreams” before toby #ever did. THAT'S ALSO like i had no idea what spinda's pronouns were. i kept trying to figure it out because i talked about him quite a lot‚ #but no one in game ever talked about him. to mention his pronouns? turns out. there's ONE line of dialogue where the post office fucker in #shaymin village mentions him and calls him a he. i think that's the only time spinda is referred to in the third person with a pronoun #i believe it's when they're talking about like. how you can send gifts or whatever and pick up the characters' responses at spinda's café #which is still a really fucking good feature. of any video game. SEE WHAT I MEAN spinda and their café is just an incredibly good Thing #it's to the point where my home wifi network is named “Spinda's Café Wi-Fi” because i love it so much. so if you're ever runnin around #and you see a wifi network by that name… it might be me! you never know! or… it could be the real deal. the real spinda's café is somewhere #nearby…! ugh. i wish. i would go there immediately #not even to mention all the other shit about this pokémon that's really good. like that they never walk in straight lines or whatever #their little dance. it's just. huUGHKLJKAHJVDHJHDAJSVGD i love spinda. a nice pick-me-up after the underwhelmingness that was grumpig #shake it this way… shake it that way… and stir it all around… and it's done!

Chris Harms at Gefragt – Gejagt | The Chase A Tragedy in 3 Acts

#chris harms #lord of the lost #lotl #queue are not the bug queue are the patch #sorry for the gif spam everyone but this was so hard to choose from. way too many good moments. #like when he knew the answer to the first question and said it out loud before the chaser had even picked her answer #or like twenty of his extremely displeased facial expressions. like at all the times the host alexander bommes called him 'Quiz Harms'. #biggest respect to bommes tho. have never seen someone be so immune to chris's charm. or maybe that cold shoulder was just him flirting bac #this is all light-hearted of course. chris did a great job. but he was also too fun to watch #some of these are actual quotes btw ... i let you guess which ones ;) #if anyone wants to see the whole show: the link is in the description. chris is there between 52:12 and 1:21:12 #(the moment the tumblr tags work properly for once will be the happiest day of my life)

I appreciate Dany and Arya antis always coming up with takes that are so easily disproved by the text, it makes it so much easier to defend my girls 🫶🏾

#it's like they're undercover daenarya stans cause some of the takes they come up with are just embarrassing #they'll write whole essays mischaracterizing them a a majority of the time only ONE quote from the books is needed to disprove it 😭 #sometimes I have to just scroll away and laugh cause it's so obvious they've never even thought about picking up the books #also glad that I'm seeing nonsense getting called out more and more lately...this fandom finally making a turn for the better #fandom nonsense

just sat through the most horrible, awkward, tense dinner I've ever experienced in my whole life

#my bf's family was in town to see the eclipse #he was like 'hey do you wanna get dinner with us after?' #and he's met my entire family so even though i didnt want to it was only fair. #anyway his uncle picks us up at my apartment. his sister is in the car. #no one asks who or how i am and i do not get introduced nor have the chance to introduce myself #for like a good 3-5 minutes. off to a bad start. #we get to the restaurant. a pizza place. his family is already seated. #no one except for his grandparents acknowledge me. they are the only 2 people to talk to me directly for the entire meal. #his grandfather asks some stuff about my life. i answer normally. he veers off into tangents that i can only respond to with 'haha' #or a smile and nod bc they are so personal that i literally have nothing to add #the children in the family spill water everywhere. there is yelling in the public restaurant while my bf goes and gets napkins #like a normal person might do #despite being at a pizza place everyone decides to order an individual dish instead of something to share #this might be fine if there were only 4 of us. there were 10. #they get mad when the food takes over an hour to come #at this point i wished i had ordered a cocktail #his uncle is the most awkward person ive ever met. he quotes outdated memes out loud. #at one point everyone except for me and my bf was on their phones #his grandfather shows me vulgar facebook posts #what is WRONG with people #im going to shower and change into my jammies and have a drink and watch something stupid #i need to cleanse myself of this whole. thing. #txt

Really not understanding the people being mean to Yong Yea and saying he'll never be Kuroda like. Yeah that's literally why Kuroda is also still voicing Kiryu?? They haven't gotten rid of Kuroda, they've just found a new English va for Kiryu since the games are having English dubs now??? They haven't even officially recorded anything leave the guy alone.

#Like I will still be sticking to JP #just becuase I am too deep into the series to change to english at this point #I genuinely prefer the og voice actors and in the case of judgment/LJ i genuinely disliked those dubs terribly lmao #But this guy hasnt even officially recorded anything yet so being mean when hes been so fuckin sweet and happy is just ???? #like god at least wait for the game to be out #AND MY MAIN POINT?? KURODA IS STILL KIRYU SO JUST PLAY IN JP LIKE #im not understanding #his enthusiasm has won me over im happy such an excited person is voicing kiryu #but imma still stick with the jp like you dont have to pick between kuroda and him 😂 #anyway yes one of my moots ? i put a question mark bc they are on probation now #quote tweeted him and was weird and rude as hell and it just irked me #same with people shit talking the new series like babe we havent even seen a still of the show yet #you cant say its dogshit when we have seen and heard almost nothing #maybe im just chilling out in my old age but relentless negativity based on nothing just seems so tired #tldr if you dont like the dub thats understandable and chill but dont be mean to a guy who has barely even started his time yet

obsessed with how everyone's reactions to the lmm hermes pic is "why the fuck is he in a hoodie"

I'm fully ready to side with luke the second he comes on screen in a CASINO wearing that (frankly very ugly) hoodie

and if he sings there's nothing stopping me from letting kronos possess me

#I'm sorry everyone else looks amazing but LMM... #rick mentioned they let the adult cast have a say in their costumes too so I'm wondering if they picked out a good costume for him and he #just said no I want that really awful bland colour and chose to wear it to a LITERAL CASINO #I know that in the books he usually shows up in casual outfits or whatever but this just looks... I don't even know #he wore casual outfits but at least they weren't THIS bland they were always a bit silly WHERE ARE THE GOD AWFUL QUOTES ON A BRIGHT TSHIRT #pjo #adri <3

“Charlie Watts is the engine room, man. That’s the engine room. He’s amazing. Energy, and such a feel. I mean, one of the reasons I love to play is that, if I have Charlie Watts behind me, I feel like I can do anything. I can take care of the rest of them. I can take care of Mick, if he’s over there [across the stage], because I know all I have to do is look around and boom!

I’ve got Charlie right behind me. It’s an amazing source of energy and strength. And rhythm! He’s one of the best drummers in the world. It’s as simple as that. And I’m so spoiled to have him.”-Keith Richards, 2006

#I guess if the guitar thing didn’t work out #Keith could have picked up a gig as a love poet #‘If I have Charlie behind me I feel like I can do anything’ #I mean…good lord #even for him #it’s a lot #the rolling stones #charlie watts #keith richards #old married band #quote

#still not over the insane george orwell post that got reblogged onto my dash yesterday #i unfollowed the person who reblogged it #because either A) theyre a tankie or B) their criticial thinking skills are sub-fucking-zero #like 1) the OP of that post was just copying Hakims awful video on Orwell #2) to read animal farm and come out of it with the interpretation that Orwell was saying that the animals and hence the proletariat in the #USSR were just innately unintelligent shows a reading comprehension so bad its not even like piss poor. its piss impoverished #3) if a post is like ''also look X said Y Bad Thing'' without providing any of the context as to where that quote comes from theyre likely #being deliberately mishonest. it is easy to take someone out if context to make it look like they were saying something they werent which is #exactly what the OP of that post was doing. they took one sentence of Orwells writing on the nazis and Hitler to make it look like Orwell #thought Hitler was a swell guy when actually Orwells writing was about the dangers of charismatic tyrants like Hitler and their rhetoric #the entire thing was about how Hitler was able to amass such power and popularity and use that to his advantage #not every despot is so easy to pick out as dangerous or so easy to detest. hitler was hardly the first charismatic tyrant in history #OP also conveniently left out the fact that like the next sentence is orwell being like yeah no i would fucking kill this man which wow #thats a glaring omission. imagine if people decided to look up what OP was refetencing to verify irs veracity #4) OP does not mention that Orwell fought in La Guerra Civil alongside communists and socialists and anarchists etc. #he fought against the nationalists. he took a bullet to the neck during the fight. he was very much against francisco franco and his fascist #regime who were allied with Hitler and the Nazis #mentioning orwells participation in the spanish civil war really undercuts any of those arguments #5) you know who was actually allied with Hitler and Nazi Germany? STALIN #at the beginning of WWII the soviet union and nazi germany were in alliance. stalin and hitler did not have fundamental ideological #differences. if hitler had not betrayed stalin the soviet union would not have joined the allied powers #your uwu anti-fascist communist idol joseph fucking stalin was joseph fucking stalin. he was a fascist dictator whose actions deliberately #caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. he like vladimir lenin before him did not care for the ideals of marx #marxism leninism is a meaningless political ideology #the soviet union was not a communist paradise. neither stalin not lenin cared about the proletariat #i said this in my tag ramble yesterday but if you want to see a leader who actually followed marxist ideals go look up thomas sankara #im just rambling in the tags today to get out the lingering frustration i have

Vladimir: Did you ever read the Bible?

Estragon: The Bible... [He reflects.] I must have taken a look at it.

Vladimir: Do you remember the Gospels?

Estragon: I remember the maps of the Holy Land. Coloured they were. Very pretty. The Dead Sea was pale blue. The very look of it made me thirsty. There's where we'll go, I used to say, there's where we'll go for our honeymoon. We'll swim. We'll be happy.

Vladimir: You should have been a poet.

Estragon: I was. [Gesture towards his rags.] Isn't that obvious.

Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot (1955)

#samuel beckett #waiting for godot #modern theatre #theatre quotes #1955 #modern drama #Godot had been written in 48 and 49 in French‚ and premiered in 53 in Paris‚ where Beckett was based #an english translation didn't appear until 54‚ and Beckett took the opportunity to make small edits and some significant substitutions #there were also edits for censorship (theatrical censorship being fairly draconian in 50s Britain; even a name like Fartov was considered #too much by the Lord Chamberlain) and once Faber published their version in 56 there were yet more changes and omissions #alas I picked up a copy on my way to work (for reasons‚ my job currently entails a lot of sitting around doing not very much) and grabbed #my old Faber edition (a corrected version wouldn't be available in english until the mid 60s) so I'm working from a bastardized text #actually Beckett would continue to tinker with Godot for the rest of his life‚ so the jury's out on which if any is the 'correct' text #nevertheless I'm having a great time. it's over a decade since i read this‚ as a lowly undergrad‚ and had my socks blown asunder #Beckett's prose has lost none of its magic; a carefully choreographed dance in words between two people who can't see their own moves #it's tempting to read all manner of subtext and innuendo into Beckett's minimalist dialogue‚ but the writer himself always strongly #resisted attempts at micro analysis; in fact he bored pretty quickly of the attention this play in particular seemed to earn‚ and would #repeatedly downplay any philosophical or political interpretations of the play. that's not to say those ideas don't exist or that those #readings lack merit; a play is almost by definition a political beast‚ a play of this kind in this era in this place and time particularly #so. but if Godot is any one thing more than others‚ it's a joyous examination of the art of conversation about nothing; more than any other #playwright (excepting perhaps Pinter)‚ you get the sense that every syllable was precisely and carefully chosen by Beckett‚ every word #carefully weighed and considered before inscription. perhaps then Godot is not a play at all; perhaps it is a poem #in loose free form‚ a sprawling poem of multiple voices in discordant harmony. or maybe it isn't. what do i know #I'm just a tumblr blog

what i'm learning about car shopping is to never express any casual interest in any car if i dont want to be descended on by car salespeople en masse

#liveblogging life #pretty sure im jinxing myself to fail my test at this point but i really do love just window shopping for stuff #tentatively reached out about a car bc i was curious #and got like three texts and four emails within 24hrs #also that i shouldnt even think about insurance quotes without expecting to get like 900 calls #me watching all of these phone calls go through without picking up: youre barking up the wrong tree friend #would love to once again go back to the era of being able to inquire about a thing without having to expect #to be innudated with phone calls and emails #the eagerness is offputting to me lmao stop that!

YOUR CHARACTER IN FIVE QUOTES!

( repost, do not reblog. )

Tell us your favorite quotes from your character. Give us an idea of who they are by five things they’ve said. Then tag your friends.

OK, let’s see… Saint Elimine, praise be your graces. Please ensure that no one dies in this battle. Please grant me speed to heal my allies’ wounds. And, um, what else… I want Hector to give me a lot of gold, and I want to get all the food and only ever have to do the fun jobs, and I want a servant who does whatever I say, and everyone should worship me and give me things, and… uhh…

I really am of the bloodline of an Etrurian count’s family, I am! I just can’t meet them right now because of family… family issues! But, someday… Someday. My true parents will come to welcome me back. (…) My mother and father are truly kind people, who thought often of me, alone in the abbey… I… I’m sure of it! It has to be true.

I’m going to use my staff! Watch in wonder!

Blessed Saint Elimine, grant us the strength to win this with ease.

…Sniff Sniff… ……It’s fine… It’s my own fault for being so foolish. It’s no wonder you all hate me so.

Made (bad?) motivational images out of quotes that bounce around in my skull like the DVD screensaver.

“Felix. I need you to pick up the phone. Now.” -- Jack Walten, the Walten Files.

“Have these statements always been true? Or have I cursed you? Is such a thing possible? A curse that changes your past?” -- ???, Petscop

“Like a thunderclap to a small dog... I felt a strange powerlessness... Countless wonderful things were happening... ‘I want to be kinder.” -- Toby Fox I had to horribly misrepresent this quote to get it to fit. GO read the full post where they say this.

“There’s just no peace for me, anymore.” -- Wolverine, X-Men: The Animated Series (1992-1997)

#petscop #twf #the walten files #jack walten #rainer petscop #undertale #yeah i think these actually say something abt me. not sure what other than i have trauma lmao #the last one i heard when i was like 8 & it stuck with me too hard even though i didn't realize why #i have always attributed that specific petscop quote to rainer as the maker of the game but lmk if that's wrong or whatever #anyhow proud pilferer of gettyimages i love open source #i made these in krita in like 30 mins & the 2nd one made it crash #v inspired by that one time everyone was posting around inspirational images w/ the 'i survived bc the fire within me burned brighter #than the fire around me' quote which was from a video game & was meant literally #the power of some of these is that random words taken out of context can mean a lot #but these are all special bc of the context around them! #the 'felix i need you to pick up the phone scene' is so strong. can't say more bc i detest spoiling #'have these statements always been true or have i cursed you?' is a character trying to explain a day shrouded in mystery #trying to put the viewer in the mindset of a little girl that experienced something she never told in full to anybody #to get them to imagine what happened to her on that day #but it also is directed to that girl in a way. reminding her of something that never happened but did occur. #in full context the toby fox quote is about the terror of creating something that becomes bigger than you could imagine very quickly #combined with the fact that he had once begged content creators not to cover the game it paints a picture #but also he is talking about what good undertale did for the world & in turn him #& in the last one. wolverine has nothing. he has nobody. he has no name. he is naked and covered in blood. #he has just attacked a woman. she is the first person he is seen in months if not years. #he does not know why he has attacked her. she has done nothing to provoke him. it is simply that his mind is so contorted by pain & fear #conditioned to fight or die that it is all he can comprehend. he has become nothing more than a bloodthirsty animal #he speaks for the first time in a long long time. he screams out into the ice & trees. 'there's just no peace for me anymore.' #this too they have taken from him. #it will get better from here. but in this crystalline moment this is what he has become

I'm finishing up the Belgian gp(2005) rn and I was gonna put this commentary in the tags of my post-race highlights post, but it would be like, a giant paragraph, so I'll just put my commentary in these tags lol bcs I need to ramble abt this cause it's actually insane to me

#so okay rn im absolutely baffled rn abt how mclaren has basically made the same exact mistake 3x in one season #like the accuracy of them fumbling on exactly the 2nd-3rd to last lap consistently is so wild???? #like tell me its not morbidly impressive the way theyve managed to make the same mistake 3x???? its just insane to me #down to the exact detail of montoya letting fernando into p2 twice and kimi letting him into p1 #even the commentators were like "wait wtf isnt this the exact same situation as turkey???' and im yelling at my screen I KNOW RIGHT #to quite literally quote them he said #'almost a carbon copy of turkey then. running 3rd. behind montoya. mclaren up for a 1-2. doesnt work out that way. alonso picks up 2nd.' #kimi in the european gp is forgiveable bcs absolutely no one could have predicted his axel just noping out #but BRUH montoya how the hell are you gonna make the exact same mistake twice down to the exact detail????? #haha tho i love nando saying smth in the press conference like: 'well mclaren is certainly helping me' #catie.rambling.txt
