#just cuz the more ppl who play it

[jadedresearcher]

ngl this is the funniest procedural thing ive made in a while i saw https://genders.wtf/gauntlet/ and realized that the only way it could be better is if it went forever

kinda curious to see what ppl get

#gender gauntlet simulator #new sim dropped #might blaze it #just cuz the more ppl who play it #the more genders we collectively get to unlock #and i have been just scrolling this damn thing all day #its not enough #i need even more ppl digging through it #to find the gems #quiz #gender #gender gauntlet #genders.wtf

#cozy texts #twstposting #(for context anyway) #love that for me [dances] #but lowest of lowest of low keys #if they’re gonna give longer and longer breaks inbetween crumbs of actual progression #and little to no substantial distraction events in between #they may as well wrap it up now lol #Cuz the longer the wait in between the more folk end up stewing in their thoughts #and the more elevated ppls expectations get as they’re forced to reflect longer #even then the loooong periods of nothing kinda wreck the flow in this climate where folk would rather binge. #and with media literacy being dead the responses can only get more extreme from here. #But who am i to say i dont even play that version i just get tangential awareness. #mildly twst spoiler related but no overt mentions. #Either way it’s def a scenario where the medium is starting to work against the ambition of their lil’ plot. #Or at the very least because of the breaks the flaws of the release format are getting a lil more noticeable each time. #Its giving….steven bomb. #It’ll probably be a better sit when it’s just aaaall out and can be viewed as a single 10 hr package. #arc fatigue set in and the nibbles of tip toeing forward can be a bit #immersion breaking. i think.

The night is young and I am free to do whatever my heart desires but unfortunately I have once again found myself trapped in the Time Prison and so I

#the good old 'I don't feel like doing anything including doing nothing and I want to go to bed but I know I'm not tired' #WEH. #I'm enjoying typing but I don't want to commit to practicing typing for real so I'm just making excuses to type more #I was looking at custom ESC keycaps because I was thinking about that whole community of ppl obsessed with keyboards and like I get it I #like the clicky clacking and keyboards can look so pretty but some of those key caps man wtf. #why would you want 3D transparent donald duck ESC key from temu what is wrong with you #saw a set of key caps that were little kittys with little kitty ears n I was like fuuuuuuuuuck #49.00 USD probably 100000 CAD+shipping goto helllll #I was thinking about what if I had like confetti keycaps and a custom kittycake esc key or like an actual little cake and matching desk mat #or even just a new cute mousepad cuz mine is old as fuck and I spilled vegetable cream stew on it once #and then I was thinking like sighhh and wouldn't it be cool to have arcade carpet on the stairs leading down to my basement hovel and #rainbow lights along the ceiling corners and what if I painting my bedroom like I wanted to do and sighhhhh #I haven't been wasting my money buying shit like that but I'm thinking about it again. #but the same thing stopping me from doing anything at all is stopping me from wasting my money which like that's good I guess??????? #gosh I really like typing why did I stop doing daily typing practice #oh yea The Thing Stopping Me From Doing Anything At All #meow meowm meow meow meow #ok I really gotta tear myself away from my computer and brush my teethses and try going to bed #I already played minecraft earlier it's fine I didn't do NOTHING tonight it just feels like I did #and tomorrow is another day #and next week is a short work week thank fucking christ almighty #literally cuz its easter sunday and he was in that tomb but he escaped or whatever he did #thanks jeezy boy #you maybe shoulda milked it for like half a week at least #moved the big ass boulder like have an inch at a time #*pause for laughter* #that s from my new stand up comedy routine do uiuop like it djfskll;askjdgflksjdflksajdflksjdf the dsjalkjfolidasfgjoiweljsdalkjflskdjflak #meowww #I am the only one I know on here who 'talks' this fucking much about absolutely nothing #I do all this and my poor followers can click read more and spend time reading alllllll this garbage

According to my mood tracking app, the longest I have gone without writing since I started up again in Jan 2021 was ten days in a row, which was when I was in GA for xmas during the last two weeks of Dec 2021...

The overall effect on my mood when including the writing activity is pretty high, in a positive way, based on the data.

All of that to say that my current depressive slump as a result of facing the fact that I may have finally hit a hard wall of burn out, after two years of intense output?

...well, it makes sense lol.

#thoughts #personal #depression #mental health #i desperately need a break i know i do my brain is spinning out ans having difficulty even starting on concepts/stories #but also... writing is the center tower of my support structure it's what I do to unwind and make myself happy #i anticipated some amount of this uhh feeling gutted and empty after break up au was over #but i didn't anticipate this fucking weird limbo inbtw of being burnt out and unable to write but ALSO unable to find joy in other things?? #my brain doesn't want to read it doesn't want to play video games or do art or pursue a different hobby #it's not latching onto any non pirate things despite me pspspssing ans throwing other content in front of it #like I'm TRYING #with 1899 with Sunder with Disco Elysium etc #it feels like shit frankly #and also a lot of the pirate ppl i started this journey with have also gotten tired or moved on completely #i just am absolutely CONFOUNDED that my brain is finding zero joy in even rotisserie chickening pirate stuff #who am i? #god i hope it's just a little slump and I snap out of it #cuz i am thrashing like a fish in a net trying to figure out how to make ny brain happy #what's the magic formula #and the brain fog is still here so like i would LOVE more distraction from IRL shit #i can use my friends to produce joy to some extent right now but it's limited #bc im also Still Tired so doing the Jay Thing of trying to fill needs and thus feel useful has a hard limit #reminds myself im not just an endless battery #anyway im desperately trying to find heathy coping and not ooze all over everybody but it's fucking hard #venting #i find it hard to talk to my therapist about this which maybe means i need a new one #just another Thing to do

Nuh uh uh *shakes my little finger* you will not get me Sonic franchise you will NOT get me invested into all this my dear buddy pal I've always enjoyed seeing you around but I will simply continue being a bystander just watching as it all goes by bcuz I know how it'll go if I actually get into all this

But also if I get bored I might get into it anyways it's mostly just a silly rule I put for myself cuz I know it would be a lot of work to catch up and I would prolly end up wanting to play some of the games if I got into the franchise but I'm not a gamer @ all so

#I say as my blog is primarily Splatoon related #I do play a lotta Splatoon ig but it's just cuz it's easy to pick up and play a few games plus I like the characters and art #I think if I started playing Sonic games it would take a lot longer for me to get thru a game #and if I don't just get thru it all in one night it might take me a while to get thru the game in general #plus how would I play the older games x_x thru an emulator ig but I'm more into official releases of games on their respective console #mostly just cuz it plays better or looks better #and also cuz I want more authentic experiences lmao I know I'm a nerd #anyway I'm just bein silly cuz I'm lookin @ a buncha Sonic stuff #don't even get me started on the comics man I never look @ the comics #and yeah I know One of the comic series is not to be talked about don't worry people make that point very clear lmao #in general tho not much of a comic reader either I enjoy how they look a lot but it's just a lotta work for me to read thru em #cuz I have to analyze like every single drawing and then try and voice the characters in my head #and then also remember wtf I just read #I'm one of those mfs who reads smth and just kinda forgets it the first time lmao #like how exactly does one read all the words in a sentence but literally none of the words stick LMAO #I've seen a few others who are like that tho at least so I know it isn't just me #literally Sonic's VA in Prime was doin that a lot while reading which made me feel very seen I enjoyed it #it's funny tho cuz someone reading to me while I'm also reading it makes it seem to stick a lot lot better #okay well this is getting into a totally different ramble abt the differences in learning I don't think I have enough room #to talk abt all that but like it's smth I did a lot when I was young where I would repeat what ppl wear saying in my head @ the same time #as them talking in order to just really understand what they were saying to me so while reading I gotta make up for it #by reading over it twice so that it sinks into my mind

[girlwithfish]

so awkward when u say something and the person ur talking to has no idea what u meant. i get embarrassed too

#i said i was getting clapped when i was playing overwatch nd my sister was next to me abd she made such a big deal out of if #Like tbh u coukd deduce whag i mean I feel frim context nd she was making me feel embarrassed bc she thought ut was strange to say or smth. #then im thinking abt how u buikd a language w the ppl who understand u most and talk similarly and understand each other even if a 3rd part #party wouxl have no idea what u guys r saying. this is abt my bf and me #cuz i think we talk similar and say stuff that the other prsn says over time nd just understand and fluent in how the other person talks #and my bf understands me more bc somwtimes i have to repeat myself a lot when im aorund my family lol #i talk kind of quiet

[hecksupremechips]

Listen I don’t really care about this play anymore and I haven’t interacted with it in ages but in Be More Chill I think Jeremy and Christine were good together and I won’t STAND for everyone in that fandom trying to convince me otherwise!!!!!

#the klock keeps ticking #ive. held onto this for a long time 👉👈 #and i may be biased cuz christine was the only character i gave a shit about BUT #i stand by my opinion #i think it was refreshing too cuz in a lot of teen trash stories your generic guy protagonist has a crush on a girl #and shes pretty much always the generic popular girl or his generic childhood friend girl #but bmc was like ‘yeah so this guy is in love with this theater girl whos just really fucking weird and has autism swag’ #which i adore we need more of that shit #and like i know WHY ppl hated them together because ppl hate female characters #especially ones that get in the way of THE SHIP BETWEEN TWO MALE CHARACTERS UWAAAAA #i was always of the opinion that michael was gay and he could do better than jeremy #like damn maybe a guy can be gay and single but ppl dont actually want gay characters #they want ships to fawn over #and then the Feminist™️ fans were like ‘i dont hate christine owo heres art of her being SUPPORTIVE of the REAL PAIRING the BOYS’ #‘i headcanon her as pansexual so see im not misogynistic see i ship her with a female character she didnt even interact with see!!!’ #‘im totally not doing this cuz i cant stand the idea that this harmless female character stands in the way of the male characters i woobify’ #which hnnghh all this can segue into a rant i have about musical fans knowing nothing about the source material and therefore being sooo #incorrect in their interpretation of the shows they claim to enjoy #because i know none of these hoes gave a single fuck about anything that happened in this fucking teen trash play i KNOW they didnt #but aaaaaa later #anyways i dont stand for christine slander shes all i have left in this cruel world 😤😤😤

[chaos-and-cookies]

I hate that sym is so popular in ow2 cuz now i definitely feel terrible when i play her cuz it feels like bullying. It's felt like that for years but now that shes popular it feels like I'm on the bandwagon to bully ppl with sym meanwhile I've been playing her literally since day 1 😭

#now i just play her to bully other syms cuz she's her best counter imo. nothing counters a sym better than a better sym lmao #it just sucks cuz shes still my fav character but as someone who used to be in the top 100 sym mains back in the day #it feels wrong using her??? especially now that shes so popular and everyone is always complaining about her and torb and moira 😥 #i wish other players had this kinda empathy lmao especially in apex like ppl always pick the ez mode characters there then complain about #the ones that take more skill than banging ur head on the wall (horizon/wraith/etc)

also the feeling of winning a politically based argument with my dad is soooo fucking good

#talking about bitchass sunak and how he's proposed a £5-10 fee for if u wanna go to the doctors #and i am EXTREMELY against that shit #the nhs is free for a fucking reason. nobody should have to drop a single PENNY to be able to live #anyway i said that (without the swears) and he started to tell me why actually it would “reduce nhs strain!!” cuz apparently ppl just go to #the hospital to “get out of the cold” #and then i said but dad you see how that's entirely another problem. to solve that problem you fix the cold ??????? #(ie. drop heating bills. like come ON it doesn't take a 200IQ to figure that out) #at this point he walks outta the room and closes the door. reopens the door upon me yelling that he was avoiding saying im right #then he comes back and tells me (very patronisingly) that coming out of the cold means just coming into hospital with unnecessary problems #to which i said well i have not heard of anyone doing that (we are indian and won't go to the doctor unless like. we are fucking dying) #and he says you'll be surprised... and i was like ok. i bet its just ppl who are lonely. which again !! another problem entirely !! #and i said well putting the fee in place won't actually stop that. ppl who are lonely will keep being lonely #and maybe we'll see an increase in elderly suicides. or more reports of houses that people just stop coming out of #or MAYBE we'll start hearing reports of ppl who die of entirely treatable diseases and illnesses cuz they couldn't afford to go #or were in the middle of choosing between food for their kids and heating one (1) room and decided fuck it this recurring stomach ache #might just be menopause or whatever the fuck. i goes to my dad people play down symptoms all the TIME #and it starts from youth !!! from school !! we are told if u have a headache or a stomach ache just come in ^_^ its better than missing !! #like wtf. what kind of shit system is that. it feels horrible to come to school when people are very clearly ill #you deserve to be resting not suffering through a whole day in pain & not able to breathe & honestly u don't learn shit on those days #didn't tell my dad that. but. he responds by saying there's ppl whove said that stuff like milk bread eggs should be free. and i said yea #and bathroom products. by which i mean toilet paper and pads and tampons #and he was clearly expecting me to disagree with this because he said um ok. well yeah ! exactly #mans changed his tone SO fast once he figured out he was not winning this. it felt so good #i love being a semi adult in this household where despite always being treated like one not actually having the opinions to feel like one #anyway thats my storytime. moral of the story is basic necessities should be free. full stop

five yrs in forgotten valley would help akira tremendously

#Midnight rambles #But have you ever met someone so charismatic in every single way #Especially in the way they talk and react to everything… they get you to be interested in the things that feel sucks to you at first #I know 2 ppl who r like that… Rainychan and DuckKing #Like Rainychan is into a franchise i thought i’d never even take one look at #I’m not into mmd-like model and especially stuffs that don’t have both good charadev and plot #But now i’m chatting w/ her on a daily basis about her fav chara 😭 In 200⬆️ words paragraph. And about 20 paragraphs/ time #And DuckKing is like… a simple-minded person (not narrow-minded tho.) #Her bluntness and creativity never failed to give everyone a good laugh #I like how she do word-play… It’s simply using a bunch of onomatopoeias or homonyms to replace the original word without concerning about #-that word’s meaning. But it’s extremely unexpected and hilarious #She got me interested in silly podcasts about her daily life also #Her way of telling story is amusing enough but the situations r even funnier. I guess peculiar people do attract similar peculiar things hu #Anw… these two have the kind of energy that makes ppl want to flock to them immediately… I rarely encounter anyone like that irl… #Rainychan’s distant attitude and Duckking’s explosive energy #It is indeed strange… even celebrities can’t make me go like this #There’s also this one (my adoptive father who is also a girl) i called Papi too (her name is Sunny-side-up) #We all get along well with each others but most of the time it’s me having convo with Rainy and Sunny w/ Duck #Cuz my energy matches Rainy’s and same to the other pair #(Tho mine & Sunny’s r a lot more lowkey. Sunlight on a winter day and moonbeam. And the other two just shine like the real planets) #The fact that i don’t believe in “-at first time” and was able to encounter these two individuals

[inf3ct3dd]

streamer!ellie headcanons

warnings: yo no se

content : streamer!ellie headcanons 🔥🔥

authors note : the streets r calling and they’re telling me to write streamer ellie hcs….

- def started off as a faceless streamer. she wasn’t really comfortable on camera, and she just thought it would be way easier. you can only see her shoulders-down leaving her (deliciosu. scrumptious. yummy) arms in the cameras view.

- her twitch user is “creeperewman” cuz shes like…discreetly hiding her initials and referencing the best minecraft parody ever 😕!!!

- bought the most random shitty mic and webcam and started streaming 🔥🔥 she never got rid of either of them its part of her odd loser charm

“‘fartmaster69:it’s probably cuz your camera’ it’s probably bc of YOUR CAMERA!!! theres nothing wrong w my camera bro 😞”

“don’t listen to them…ur perfect 🤫 IM NOT TALKING TO U GUYS IM TALKING TO MY CAMERA”

- only had a few viewers the first couple times she streamed, and it was some random 10 yr old who kept spamming “yassss” in the chat and some dude who said she was shit at minecraft 😞 he was LYING

- started off doing minecraft speed runs (or trying to) and got like way good over time

- she randomly started getting more and more viewers, because people kept posting abt her and calling her fine on tiktok , making edits of her hands and her voice 😭😭 (real)

- as she got more and more viewers, she started branching out more with the games she’d play. def loves shooter games like cod and pubg, but she’d also play like indie horror games like faith (omg markiplier fans would know)

- she has a orange cat she named garfield (cuz…of course she does) and he’s always sitting on her lap during her streams or messing w her setup 💔💔

- def put stickers all over her headset and showed them off all proud on stream

- designed her own cute banners and stuff for streams 😞!!!

- def had a subreddit/disc server with her viewers where she’d let them give her game recs or make memes of her

- ppl saw her guitar in the back of her streams and BEGGED HER to play it and she had her own lil concert stream !!! she was so freaking nervous and messed up a bunch the first like minute or two but like after that she was in the ZONE

“‘ewswife: i wish i was that guitar’ oh!! you guys are so…kind!!!”

- when she INSANELY hit 1k, she did a face reveal and she hit 10k the same day 😦 the amount of edits that ppl made was actually insane. ESP ONES MAKING FUN OF DREAMS FACE REVEALLLL

- started doing much more random shit on stream after she got more famous. she LOVES cooking on stream, and she’d start reacting to random shit ppl sent her on the subreddit

- she cut her hair on stream once, and everyone in the chat kept spamming “yo bob…is fye” for like 5 minutes 😪

- “you’re at work watching me? i hope you get fired. i mean. i hope you don’t get fired 😞”

- she gets so many thirst comments and like…is terrible at responding to them

“‘ewleftbicep: you look so vulnerable today’ WHAT”

- she has her own apartment cuz of her awesome streaming money 🔥🔥🔥 soundproofed walls too cuz she’s. loud.

- one day, you were walking on campus to a class. you had your headphones on, listening to your main playlist on shuffle, when you got stopped by someone. you pulled your headphones off your ears and gave the man in front of you a confused look. you looked down to his hands, holding a tiny mic, and another dude holding a camera.

“what song are you listening to?” he held the microphone towards you, awaiting your response.

you quickly responded “uhm, last goodbye, by jeff buckley.” and stood there awkwardly, pushing a piece of hair out of your face.

the man quickly thanked you and you walked away, slightly suprised.

- after a couple hours, the video had blown up and the comments were filled with people complimenting you.

pickleluna: jeff buckley girl is so fine

minyonlala: 3rd girl is so bad

rilakkila: I NEED JEFF BUCKLEY GIRL

and unknown to you, someone else found you on their fyp.

creeperewman: guys what is the 3rd girls @. im literally BEGGING BRO PLEASEEE

- ewleftbicep: BEING DESPERATE ON MAIN IS CRAZY

- ewsgirlf: random tiktok girl stole my wife 💔

- elliewilliamsidechick: guys im literally the 3rd girl 😂😂😂

- it didn’t take long for your phone to be blown up with people sending you the video, tagging you in funny comments, and finding your instagram. you watched the video, and saw ellie was the top comment. you checked her profile, and saw how FINE she was, and immediately responded

- y/nmainn: guys 😳😳😳 what if i was the third girl 😳😳

- ellie checked her phone and saw thousands of people tagging your comment, and she wasted zero time following you on tiktok. and your instagram. its not stalking if its in your bio, right?

- you two immediately hit it off, and ellie loved the fact that you had absolutely no idea who she was. to you, she was just some hot girl. not some famous streamer you were obsessed with.

- she didn’t even realize you two went to the same school until she saw you in her astrophysics class one day, and she almost had a heart attack when you waved at her and walked over to sit next to her.

“what a coincidence.”

- she took you out on your first date to a planetarium, and not even a week after, asked you to be her girlfriend.

- she definitely teaches you how to play her favorite games. but she gets wayyyy defensive when you beat her.

“im just letting you win.”

“beginners luck.”

but shes SO COCKY when she beats you

“hey, don’t be so hard on yourself after this. not your fault im a professional!”

“aw, maybe one day you’ll be as good as me”

- definitely helps you build your own pc.

- loves watching you play things like animal crossing or stardew valley, always lays on your shoulder while you’re on the couch.

“why are you being so mean to gaston :((“

“because hes UGLY and he has an ugly house and he’s ruining my village.”

“wowww you’re bullying a little bunny man because he doesn’t fit your aesthetic 😒 so mean”

- if you like more aggressive games like cod, she loves listening to you talk shit while you play and always makes fun of people with you. (she thinks its hot when you’re mean to people)

- her chat absolutely loves you, and every time you stream together its a continuous stream of “me and who” and “when is it my turn 😪”

[jaegerisim]

Vent post y'all are gonna hate me for.

I viscerally hate how the Duffers treat most of their non white or queer characters and I hate even more viscerally, how y'all big byler blogs in your circle jerk of other 5 big byler blogs casually like to ignore many red flags the show has.

Y'all like to say: "tHe DufFeRs ArE gReAt WrIteRs" and it's like girl, who are you lying to??? They aren't top shit writers at all. The Duffers are pretty mid imo. Yeah, they run a good show that's fun to watch and theorize abt , but that doesn't mean they're good writers cuz they're not.

1. they completely side lined Will during s3 for the sake of their straight romances: lumax, jancy, mlvn, duzie and partly stobin (even if stobin wasn't endgame, thankfully, Steve's intentions were clearly wanting to date Robin and they gave it a lot of screen time). Will was sidelined bc he didn't fit the straight romance plotline bc they planned to make him gay or whatever. Now in s4 Will and his feelings have been used as mlvn toilet paper. Yes, we like to say this is build up for byler but canonically, Will's feelings have been used to clean the shit mlvn leaves behind.

2. Billy was sympathized a lot during the last 2 seasons. They gave him the sad backstoryTM in order for ppl to feel sorry for him. Billy's backstory is literally Jonathan's but whatever.

3. El's anger issues are constantly girlboss-ified. They down play her bullying situation and literally just use it for El to be a ''girlboss" without realizing how triggering that is. As someone who has lived bullying, seeing it be ignored by canon and fanon is super sad. The whole Rink-O' Mania experience must have been so traumatizing for her yet, everyone absolutely forgets abt it 🤷🏻‍♀️

4. Robin, Erica and Argyle are stereotypical characters. Robin is the quirky lesbian with social anxiety, Erica is the badass black woman and Argyle is the Latino stoner that sells weed to white kids and works as a pizza delivery guy.

5. Altho Argyle and Eddie both do drugs, (Eddie actually sells K-12 to a minor and nobody batted an eye. He has a huge fan base). Eddie is held in a pedestal bc "poor thing 🥺 he lives in a trailer with his uncle 🥺". Tell me a single fact you know abt Argyle that isn't "he smokes weed", "he is Jonathan's only friend", "drives a van" and "he works at a pizzeria". Exactly, Eddie is given a useless backstory and Argyle isn't.

6. Dustin stopped being important to the plot sometime around s2 and s3. He is only there to curse and be mildly funny. My guy needs to hangout with ppl his age cuz he only hangs out with seniors.

7. El needs to stop having so much "I'M THAT BITCH" screentime like I need in s5 for El's arc to not just be her becoming more powerful and falling in love with Mike. I need the Duffers to explore her trauma and problems.

8. Angela should have been run over by the van.

9. Patrick should have been given a backstory that isn't the basic "strict black parents that hit their kids cuz they are a disgrace". Patrick's backstory is actually racist af, fight w the wall.

10. As Lex already said, they didn't trigger tag the ep where Jason and his friends assault Lucas and Erica. Like wtf? Why was that necessary? Why did I have to see a black boy being held at gunpoint by some white guy?? Was it relevant to the plot?? I don't think so. And then I've got to see ppl online be like "Jason wasn't that bad. He was just mourning" like bitch you can stfu. This is what happens when you make the racist assholes conventionally attractive.

Also the fact that Lucas's arc is fulfilled by him fist-fighting Jason and "embracing his weirdness" aka accepting he is black. His arc was not fulfilled at all cuz that ending spoke so loud to me. It showed how little empathy ppl have towards the struggles poc ppl living in the Midwest have. Y'all circle jerks can only see racism when it's super obvious.

Furthermore, parents complained when ST showed "an excessive amount of smoking" yet nobody batted an eye when Billy tried to run over Lucas, when Erica (an 11 y.o ffs) was chased by white kids or when Lucas was held at gunpoint by Jason.

All of this happened while they focused on Max's guilt and mourning that, yeah, are important but certainly not less important than racism!!!

11. In s3, they gave us that whole Nancy vs The Bigots arc that was honestly just triggering and useless. It didn't help Nancy's character at all, quite the opposite it put unnecessary angst.

12. Lonnie being presented as an abuser just for him to never be spoken of again. Can we please get to explore the trauma he left the Byers's with?

13. The fact that both queer relationships are considered "sloppy seconds" is extremely sad. Both Vickie and Mike are rebounding from their failed relationship with Robin and Will. These 2 ships have caused more commotion than Jancy and Jopper together! (These last ships are technically sloppy seconds too but everybody forgets that. Shocker!!)

14. Last but not least, ppl blame Argyle for being the one to get Jonathan into smoking weed as if Jonathan probably wasn't the one looking for it. Let me tell you, that you only find weed if you look for it.
