Annabeth:

Annabeth: I meant the call...

Percy: right, sorry. I panicked

He doesn't have this problem with Valerius.

#ungrateful I wouldn't wash them off #ok listen I admit I first thought of this skit with val and my mc #which makes more sense since lucio canonically takes multiple baths a day so I can see him also do his makeup multiple times the same day #so it stay fresh #while I think val would just power through the whole day without doing it #like he's ready to start working at 7 am and then comes home with gross nasty makeup at the end of the day #he barges in his rooms to take it off as the first thing he does #but if you insist on kissing him you end up getting nude lipstick and foundation smears all over your face #so let's pretend that lucio has just come home from day long hunting trip or something Idk #I've been drawing backgrounds for weeks for work I refuse to do another one here #the arcana #my art #nadia satrinava #lucio morgasson #do these two even have a ship name #the colors look good on my pc and all weird on my phone aaaaa

like seriously whatever you do dont think about the captain and that story about someone calling into gay bars and not saying anything, just listening to queer people living and laughing and having fun. definitely don't think about the captain doing that. haha.

#both during his life and in death #i just looked it up and the 1930s british queer scene was beautiful like jazz age stuff #the idea of the captain just discretely privately calling into places he's heard rumored to be queer #just to listen to the saxophone over the static of the telephone and know that there were gay people living and loving somewhere #and then to think about him missing that EVEN MORE in death because now he cant LEAVE #he cant hear rumors from people he cant call in #imagine the favors he'd have to owe julian to dial a number and let cap listen to the receiver without knowing what it is #like of course julian wants to know and he pesters him. but when cap is Deadly Serious and scared and sad. #a face julian's never seen. he winds his jokes down and agrees to do it #making cap think it was his idea- 'a bit of charity for the old walrus then'- instead of a deep understanding and love #and since its been decades of course the number he calls isnt a gay club anymore. maybe it doesnt even connect #and it breaks his heart and it takes him another decade to gather intel and the nerve to ask julian again #but when he does he finally gets a place and the phone quality is INCREDIBLE he can hear so much #he can hear people and their upbeat music and their laughter and their love #and he cries #and if julian sees it and pretends not to then its so that he can have the blackmail later thank you for asking #anyway im making myself emotional #bbc ghosts #EDIT Becuase then when julian overhears he tries subtly to make the captain feel more comfortable #bc julian is an asshole but he's not homophobic i mean he fucks everyone #so he tries to pepper in more stories about men but that just makes cap uncomfortable #and hes frustrated bc he cant think of anything else to do other than flirt with him but thats a bad idea #but then he remembers that he went to bars and places and maybe he'll like that #so he 'accidentally' dials some clubs he knows were cool and leaves the phone off the receiver for cap to find #and cap just gives him a curt nod and a clearing of his throat and they Dont Talk about it but they Know

I wonder if Barbie and Ken were confused when they went to the real world and discovered that their clothes weren't magically appearing on their bodies at the shop, and that they had to actually put them on themselves.

But maybe they were already aware of humans not having magic like that. Maybe they know everything in BarbieLand is based on your imagination. They seemed aware of other things for some reason? They know what genitals are even if nobody in BarbieLand has any at all, which also confuses me? They know they're dolls being played with, which makes sense bc that's their purpose. Do they have some sort of awareness of the real world automatically when they're created, because they know they're being played with? Do they HAVE to have some idea of how certain things work in the real world? Margot said there was going to be a scene where Barbie and Ken actually do try to kiss each other after the dance party but neither of them knew how kissing would work so they'd just bonk their faces together, but they couldn't pull it off without making it look awkward so they scrapped the scene. And in the movie it seems like they do know how kissing would work bc Ken goes for a kiss three times.

Barbie didn't react when she drank tea for the first time, she didn't react to the taste of it. At first I thought maybe she'd just be so focused on making sure she didn't spill it that she didn't care what was hitting her taste buds, but then I remembered that she reacted with disgust when she "drank" the imaginary expired milk. So the fake food does have taste in their world. That's interesting.

#but that last part also confuses me bc margot said in an interview that barbie DOESNT taste things #she was like 'she'd be thrilled to try any food in the real world for the first time' #'if she had crackers she'd think they're amazing just bc she's actually eating them' #but why would she be thrilled if she CAN taste in barbieland? #maybe margot forgot bc she was working on the movie for literaly years and that scene shes eating waffles is barely 2 seconds #or maybe i misunderstood and she meant she would just enjoy food that they dont make in barbieland #like idk they probably dont have plastic crackers #would barbie be surprised to turn on the shower and it's real water shooting in her face? #would she be surprised to step on the pool and actually fall into it instead of walking over it? #they experienced elements in the real world for the very first time #i wonder if they felt the heat of the sun and wondered what the hell that was #i wonder if they'd react to rain. if they knew what that is or if they'd be like 'oh kids pretend it rains when they play all the time' #do the kens magically change clothes too? they dont have closets or homes #where the hell do they get dressed? do their barbies give them clothes?? #kens got no house no car no phone no email no job no prospects he's got NOTHIN #ryan gosling rly said ken has absolutely fucking nothing but he's got all the genitals #interested in horses but not interesting as a person at all dont make that mistake thats a slippery slope #his words not mine #woof

if you deny that theres definitely nazis n shit hopping on to this whole 'fuck israel' thing for the sake of anti semitism and to hopefully spread conspiracy theories i hate to say it but you're an utter dipshit. not to say theres not similar types rooting for israel bc of course they are, far right people can never be consistent anyways, but if you deny that it goes both ways i for 1 think you either dont actually know that much about the situation at all or 2 are just dumb asf

#dont act like there wasnt a far right creep in an free palestine protest holding up an image of a swastika on his phone #just bc facts are inconvenient doesnt mean you get to ignore them and pretend shit didnt happen #doesnt represent the rest of the protesters. but they are out there lurkin' #what if we simply accept that far righters are tryna recruit whoever the fuck they can and are being sneaky asf about it #and some of yall have fallen so easily for antisemitic bs #and vice versa the other way w islamaphobic shit

i’m trying to rmbr when exactly the last concert i went to ended (since i wanna go to another one soon hopefully 🤞) but i genuinely can’t find ANY record of it at ALL. fuck why aren’t i more of a screen-ager i should’ve posted abt it on instagram the moment it ended or smth :(

#the ONLY thing i can possibly think of is phone calls. but apparently to see my further call history i have to check w/ my cell provider #AND WE JUST SWITCHED TO ROGERS LIKE 3 DAYS AGO. GODDAMMIT #.txt #the timing is relevant bc i’m not allowed to go to concerts + i’m only allowed sleepovers in a very limited quantity + my curfew is #slightly l8r than it was last yr so i wanna see if i need to use a sleepover if we end up going to one.. #i didn’t text anyone when it ended. i didn’t post abt it anywhere till like the day after. i didn’t dm the friend who’s place i spent that #night at. we walked to a further streetcar stop just for funsies so i can’t even check my presto history. GOD #ik i called my parents right after it ended bc my dad called me during it but it was too loud 4 me to pretend it was just a sleepover so i j #told him i had bad signal lol

#very tired. should defo sleep. #but instead I'm scrolling tumblr mindlessly #feeling guilty and frustrated about having to tell some people i don't wanna be in their rpg anymore #and also grieving my mother who's still alive but on the slow and sad way out having been miserable her entire life since having me #i think actually i should be allowed to go live on a little island and cut off communications with everyone except the gays in my phone #i think that's something i should be allowed to do #I'm tired of pretending I'm not an exhausted little creature who wants to be self centred all the time #i want to live under a rock #i want to hoard every precious second of my one very short life to do what i want with it instead of having all the grief all the time #i want to have a fucking childhood dbc i fucking missed that memo #i want to stop feeling like it's the end of the world whenever i minorly inconvenience someone #i wanna sleeeeeep #but mostly i just wanna not be sad. #can someone make me not sad. #mr. bees speaks

thinking abt my ex saying I can leave whenever I want and I pretend I'm trapped and he "doesn't know why" I want to slap him so bad I can't believe this clown just gets to live his dumb life what a foul person lol

#him taking my keys and it turning into a physical fight if i tried to get them back . him taking my phone and physically blocking me from #leaving or forcing me into rooms or trapping me in rooms or the closet etc etc :) U r literally a bad person and the str8 up denial makes me #sooooo mad. ur pretending ok classic gaslighting💀its almost comical #when he trapped me in my own home on thanksgiving lol #remembered when he tackled me onto the bed and got on top of me and was pulling my hair and hitting my face once all bc i got mad when he #snatched my phone out of mg hands pretty aggressively #Like wow it is literally like umm fucked up and #i hate that my mind just cycles thru the same handful of memories that i have and can recall like most of #Nd i fele weird abt how theres so many mroe memories i just dont remember anymore or are buried #but its probably for the better that i dont remember more bad stuff #idk. #idk why the trauma has been kinda difficult for like the past 2 days #i blame it on this dream i had abth im on monday #i dont dream abt my ex often either so its like . ok

this might not be a common opinion but I legitimately fucking love emails. As someone who's really bad at navigating social spaces emails are an absolute blessing, there's a designated structure and vocabulary for it, there are templates available online for almost any type of email. It makes social interaction so much easier when the interaction fprmat comes with clear cut and well defined rules that you can google idk

#plus the fact that you dont have to come up with it on the fly like with phone calls or face to face comm #you can write it out #read back over it #make adjustment or rewrites as needed #and then deliver it when you feel like its ready #texting is too fast and theres no rules for it #like theres no tutorial articles online for how to hold a texting convo #and esp when u take texting styles into account #everyone texts differently so there literally Is Not a universal trick for it you have to adjust your own style for every different convo #which is so exhausting #emails on the other hand #there is a specific Way™ that emails are written #a format that everyone has to follow and that just makes communication so much easierrrrr #emails are great. actually #and im tired of pretending theyre not

I love it when i accidentally stay up on the night im supposed to be catching up on sleep it totallly doesnt make me feel horrible all week long

#talk post #i love this blog i want to live here #I cant!!! i just cant!!! go to bed at a normal fucking time istg #but noooooo the wild grinders wiki no some stupid bullshit no one has ever cared about before #WHEN I DONT GET ENOUGH SLEEP MY MENTAL HEALTH GETS WAY WORSE!!!!! IF I DONT FIX IT WE ARE GOING TO GET TOO SILLY #(yelling at a mirror) #seriously bothers me tho that Im always worried about how intense my negative feelings have been lately #and im like “oh ill just get more sleep” and then immediately fuck it up the next night making me tired all week #making me feel SO bad in the mornings and at night and increasing my paranoia and other such thoughts #and in trying to tune it all out just forget about it again leading to me fucking it up again #this is a bit dramatic its only happened 2 weeks in a row #but that feels like a lot because thats like 10 nights where i felt like i blinked and i had to wake up and go to school #and not only deal with my shitty social skills but the results of said thing #and also try to fight the thoughts that are like “this shits pointless im not doing this” LIKE PLEASE pretend to be normal for one year #and also that one teacher i have who demands every students attention while he teaches like i already finished the work sheet shut it #like i do well in that class just let me do what i want im not being distracting like girl i have at least an 87 dw about me #PLUS most of the time im not even on my phone he just really wants me to look at the board but girl as i said I ALREADY DID WHATS ON THERE #i feel like i never get to relax but i do all the time so i dont know what i mean #i keep saying “its ok as long as i can bury all my thoughts and just keep going while filling what free time i have with things i enjoy” #but things only work for so long #i hate the passage of time #anyawy erm wrong my guitar is in my mind (stupid ass guitar riff) #walks over to my bed and trips on the way falling asleep on the floor #ramble #hit post

do u think people would be less stupid about ai if it was called something else

Like if they knew it wasn’t “smart” and is instead plagiarizing would they stop worshiping it so much

Then again the people who are into it are nft cryptobros and very real business™️ people with real jobs that definitely aren’t fake (cough) who just want to fire anyone to save .1% of the company budget

so they’d probably fall for it anyway

It just seems like people are getting the wrong idea :p

#that being said yes ai is currently destroying the internet by spamming the lowest quality garbage imaginable #but it’s not intelligent. just an algorithm #the predictive text on your phone #the fear of losing your job is real I can understand that #what I’m talking about is the people who are convinced it’s like. self aware? lol #these people have convinced themselves this is The Big Thing and right now in its current state. it’s not #if you need endless braindead slop then yeah it’s fine #but it’s just a toy right now #unfortunately people are losing their job to a toy #but thats a whole topic right there that i am not going to pretend I can get into #the end goal is dirt cheap work that passes the 1 second sniff test before someone scrolls past #whether the work is made by someone being paid a few dollars a day in a poor country or a data center doesn’t really matter to them #whichever option is cheaper is the one they’ll pick #world is a fuck etc etc we all know this

social interaction is so weird. I don't understand it.

at my birthday party yesterday, I just sort of sat there. and watched and listened. and occasionally responded to something someone said. my brother and my friend did most of the talking. it's easy for them, they just know what to say and/or they don't care how they seem to others. they just talked to everyone the whole time.

I don't know, it just feels pointless. I want to like it, I really do, but when there's more than maybe 2 or 3 people (maybe 4, depending who it is) I just feel like an animal trapped in a cage. it feels really bad. it's not fun, it's just stressful. even when I like everyone there and everything is completely fine.

and when everyone leaves I'm just so relieved. I always want to talk to people more, I miss the times when I saw my friends more often, but when I do see them I just want to leave. like, I don't know what to do about it. I did all the things my therapist told me when I was in therapy but it changed nothing. it doesn't feel like I have social anxiety (though yeah okay that too - but it's better now with meds), it's like they're speaking a different language that's sort of similar but I can't quite understand it. I really want to and I try to pretend I do but I can't and it sucks.

like, my therapist would always tell me I can do it, there's no reason to be afraid of social situations because I'm really good at them actually. but no, I was good at therapy because it was a short period of time, I knew the rules and what was expected of me, I knew the only other person there, and I just. lied all the time about everything so she wouldn't be angry with me. I was so afraid she'd think I'm just wrong that I still had to pretend I'm normal.

#I complain about this every time #but just. what do you do about it #practice never made it better. actually it made it worse because I was always exhausted from being around people so much #like when I was going to class every day and practicing everything my therapist said. didn't help. just made me even more tired #I don't know #at one point today I got so overwhelmed that I just thought right this isn't working let's just pretend to be eliot. I don't even know what #that means but I just. idk. being me doesn't work it's just not good enough #it's possible that I really am just autistic. I don't want to say that because I don't have a diagnosis but. idk I guess that's how it feels #I feel so out of place. I had to try so hard not to go get one of my dolls and brush their hair to calm myself down #but that'd be weird so I can't do that #so I just sit there and wait until it's over. and maybe occasionally look at some gifs on my phone. look it's okay my fictional people are #still in there I can still pretend I'm with them! #what the fuck is wrong with me? #personal
