#me: no they're flies

[sollilua]

yesterday i had to fight with over 6 20mm (0.8 inch) flies in the middle of the night. i feel like I'll never be the same.

i won... but at what cost.

#also my sister was insisting they're beetles #me: no they're flies #her: no they're beetles wtf flies aren't that large #me an entomology student:... no they're flies...... they.... escaped 😳 *dramatic voice* #you need to read the last quote like im a scientist who accidentally let +900 mutant giant aliens escape

i've been so patient and so brave about the rookie hiatus i deserve an award.

#*carly catalogs #WHERE'S MY TROPHY???????? #the rookie #the rookie s6 #tim bradford #lucy chen #chenford #otp: you know me so well #i can't believe i survived not one but TWO tuesdays without my beloved couple..... #god and to think there are only 7eps left of the season... i need a hug 😔😔 #i mean i appreciate that they're spacing out episodes so it'll last longer but still time flies by #and soon we'll be waiting on s7 #😢💔

wow i'm just looking at roy's thought process in the lead up to this call:

he's just gotten a ridiculous amount of flowers from the armstrong intelligence agent and he needs to do something with them, and his mind immediately goes "give them to riza".

like, bradley JUST called this man's ass out for wearing his heart on his sleeve and yet he just. keeps simping.

(you know what that is folks? king shit.)

(maybe he thought since he's not her boss right now he could get away with it. high key obsessed by that manga panel in the 'selim b is homunculus' convo where roy asks her out and riza shoots him down not having a CLUE that's what he's doing:

man's REALLY trying to shoot his shot pray for him y'all.)

and not only does roy decide to give her the flowers he decides to start off the call doing a goofy little bit.

like, my precious subordinate must be super stressed working under wrath! i know, i'll bring her some flowers and also use them as an excuse to check in on her and i'll ALSO honk my clown nose to get her to laugh or roll her eyes fondly at me! yes boyfriend of the year right here

i repeat, roy knows riza's going through a tough time and his game plan is to bring her flowers and try and make her laugh.

i'm frankly amazed these two weren't written up for fraternization before this. only the bad guys ever bring it up and no-one else ever calls them out on it in-universe but these two are NOT subtle.

#fma #fmab #royai #fullmetal alchemist #fullmetal alchemist brotherhood #this scene cracks me up every single time #how the fuck is any of this subtle #royais are like “we mustn't let them touch. even a minute spent too long in each other's company is suspicious.” #meanwhile canon roy-boy's rolling up with a car full of flowers for his girl during a time when they're under major surveillance #also i'm forever agog that roy ACTUALLY ASKS RIZA OUT. IT'S CANON. IT'S IN THE MANGA. #he flirts with armstrong in a very calculated way in order to pass on info #but what possible reason does he have to ask riza out when they can communicate in the mess hall? #the way this man is chomping at the bit to love and care for his lieutenant... #and the way it just flies over her head lmaoooooo go girl give him nothing

vash truly is one of the most characters ever. like. he's a normal guy. he's a gunslinger. he barely uses his gun. he's lame. he's a dork. he's the most badass character ever. there are two (2) different instances of him barking in the anime. he has an evil brother. he's cain and also abel. he's an angel. also an alien. he's good with kids. he's a staunch pacifist. he's naive. but also he's aware of how inconvenient his views can be. he's a staunch pacifist. and he's killed before. and he's everything to me <3

#he's just. so incredibly nuanced its incredible. i love him i'm picking him up by the scruff and shaking him #i just love how he's legit so badass. and also the most lame pathetic man youve ever seen. and these r not mutually exclusive things #jc.txt #trigun #vash and wolfwood r just such fucking insane characters 2 me theyre both so goofy and dorky #and also they can both be so fucking serious and stoic and badass and tragic #theyre insane 2 me. they r buzzing like flies in my brain #anyways. god. when they're narrative foils

idk if i have stated in so many words before but kinda weird for people not to care about the brown men of the story on account of them being men

like most people did to javi irl what the yellowjackets did in the show lol, dismissed always, no more than the little kid, he was already dead

#and like i know you're not only being weird about their race but also that they get inbetween your girlhood fantasies #as if the story isn't based around the lord of the flies which is exclusively a look into white british boys behavior #so i ask of you what does that mean for who the yellowjackets represent like are they truly girlhood #or considering me and the other fans of color conferred and realised this shit wasn't even written with black or brown women #in mind or their ethnicity for input in the writing like idk adding kessell to the writing ffs anyway #so it's clear this was written with white womanhood in mind like #don't y'all think it reflects a particular female rage more trapped in time and space than entirely universality #which is ok if racist tbh but it still allows a look into a particular face of womanhood and not all encompassing #and again travis and javi were right there the tragedy is of childhood not girlhood there he didn't even get to be a person just the #annoying little kid in most of their eyes it's kind of sad #and telling y'all could dismiss javi and travis so easily before lile they're not brown men #fuck im angry #yellowjackets

A couple of Ishmael centric fic bits before i pass out because it's 3am rn

#comet chasing #writings #in order of appearance: #nymphs of tempest au #scarlet ardor and chatvalier au #the former is really just my self indulgent bullshit taken to the extreme #basically (for this portion of it at least) it's an ishqueg kinda-reincarnation au where they've both become sea monsters/creatures #(kracken for ish and seal-selkie for quee) #ishy has a curse on her that binds her to another person (ruby) #it's by complete accident though so they're trying to figure out how to reverse it (as told in the fic bit) #anyway for the latter one... yeah. #post-dark cupid ishmael having a meltdown over enjoying her kissy time with don #and desperately trying to convince herself that she just did it out of nessecity and Did Not enjoy it in the slightest #her brain is not cooperating though #(not me projecting my home life and habits onto her ahahahahahaha.....) #(also i'm sorry if i don't write romance well/believably i'm aro and half of this shit flies over my head) #(i am primarily familiar with the stuff you see in movies)

back at it again with damara and ada

bonus:

#last doodle only exists bc i had listened to a lot of spandau ballet while revamping his design way back when #crazy that i made his design back in 2017.. time sure flies i hope no one remembers me lmao #i'll be nice and tag this one #ttte #doodles #ttte d10 #ttte lady #if anyone is curious i name my gijinkas on purpose so they're not like awkwardly named after the actual show characters #i should really work on their refs.

#skullgirls #Filia #man time sure flies #honestly if they're going through this much trouble they might as well just redo all the frames #Future Club stays employed and current players get to play the game without shame #and ESG check is a check after all I can't blame them #stuff like this still reeks of something behind the scenes to me #why now? why not let things be and move on?

as someone who wears glasses, got bullied for her weight, can be pretty annoying (without realizing), always get ignored, is considered smart but weird, has good ideas but sucks at leadership, doesn't understand sarcasm, doesn't know how to comfort people, can't swim, is probably autistic, and actually got called “piggy”, i consider myself the biggest piggy kinnie.

#lord of the flies #lotf #lotf piggy #piggy lotf #i'm sorry but #i had to say this #he's so me #i'm also a simon kinnie #they're both autistic #change my mind

Oh, my darling dopamine Does the reward outweigh the risk? Well I'm on the fence Is a numbing normalcy on tap Worth a week trembling and sick

#fuckass fic #jalph #jack merridew #lotf ralph #lotf #lord of the flies #i have. nothing against catholics. these kids are just silly and protestant #it's so funny to me that i've had to research british slurs for gay people and cross reference whether they were used in the 1950s #how dare ralph be homophobic after literally going limp wrist emoji #they should kiss soon i think that'll fix them #confession: marcus is an oc #i've had to add ocs into this stupid goddamn story #because ralph needs friends at school and none of the island boys are very good at it #except maybe samneric but they're going to a different school for. plot purposes i guess #so there's like three kids in the story who are just plot devices but they have a backstory and a purpose in bettering ralph's mental healt #or worsening #however you see it :) #maybe i'll introduce them soon #if anyone's interested #otherwise you'll have to read the fic to find out!! #whenever it comes out #writing #my writing

but what I want to know is how we ended up calling 3 different bugs daddy longlegs. someone tells me "oh we get daddy longlegs around here all the time" and I have to be like Ok but what do you mean by that. Do you mean cellar spiders? Harvestmen? or crane flies? all 3 of these are different things. only one of them is a spider. one of them is a got damn insect.

how did we get here

#you'll also get different responses from me depending on which it is #Cellar spiders or crane flies? oh yeah we get those down here too. they're everwhere #crane flies are a BITCH to pin #Harvestmen? YOU PROMISE ? PLEASE SHOW ME #i've only ever held one big ol harvestman and i loved them. dearly #silly weirdos. freaks (affectionate) #anyway thinking about this because a server i lurk in brought up daddy longlegs and i always have to be like Which One. Specify #clamtalk #bugs

Honestly, shout out to characters I share my nickname KK with 💪

I've had this nickname for 9 years?! ZAMN #time flies #random thought...

Sometimes there's a little dude in your house and you need to evict them IMMEDIATELY, but you still vibe with them a little bit as a creepy crawly enjoyer. This is a poll about that

If you hate all of these creatures and want to smash them, simply do not vote on this poll <3

(These answers are based off of the dudes I encounter in my home, if there's another crawly you have in mind, put it in the notes so I can look em up)

#haxxy stop #polls #crawlies #spiders #(mostly tagging for blacklist purposes) #I'm going to be real I mostly made this poll so I can vote for silverfish I love those little dudes #I'm generally okay with most of these guys (exception being cockroach bc she concerns me and both type of flies bc they're annoying) #but i included them anyways just in case there are any cockroach or fly enjoyers out there

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to keep the big cardboard box your video games console came in, especially if you have not once touched it in 6+ years since owning said console

#hnng i have SPACE #next step: moving the bed & tv so I can actually access my clothes drawers #i know i have a small enclave of spiders in my room which really does not bother me unless they're too close for comfort #rather them than flies etc 100% of the time #but i'm not looking forward to actually moving the bed #i may have to See A Bug at one point #it's completely harmless and just living its life and it doesn't bother me 99.9% of the time #still. :/
