How many times has corroded coffin tried to incorporate ‘pyrotechnics’ into their performance (eddie lighting the spray from an aerosol can on fire and screaming because he scared himself. Then the rest of the band screaming because he turned to face them while still spraying the can and almost melting an amp, Jeff’s eye brows and a drum) before they had to be stopped?

#you don’t want to know the answer #the bar owner let them off with too much stuff in the name of entertaining himself and a hope for insurance money #stranger things #eddie munson #corroded coffin #jeff stranger things #gareth stranger things #freak stranger things #sometimes Steve sees Eddie get this look in his eye and Steve immediately goes to hide his hairspray. he knows that look and he promised #Wayne he’d never have to see Eddie with blank spaces where his eyebrows should be ever again #once was enough. especially when Eddie started drawing them on as ridiculously as he could and wouldn’t wash them off #even when he was going in to town or Wayne’s partner was coming over #it’s okay though. Wayne’s parter had met eddie before and he understood well enough #Steve was not willing to give even the slightest opportunity for Wayne to be disappointed in him though. so that’s why his hairspray is in #a safe now with the key hidden somewhere eddie will never look but Steve will never forget #his yearbook on the photo of Eddie

Double teaching joys today!

A couple of the boys were watching me cast on for someone and decided that they needed to learn the cast on I used, because it was so fast. (I do the long tail cast on, the version where you hold the yarn in one hand and most of the motion is with the needle). I got the "wait, look what I just did, that's so cool" look TWICE from one of them as he figured it out.

And I had pulled up Ravelry to help one of the students look for something to make. (This kid has TAKEN to knitting, and was looking for a bit more of a challenge, and I goofed and returned the book with the pattern they were interested in to the library). I realised afterwards that I had been less clear than I probably ought to have about the fact that that wasn't a site for 12-year-olds. Given that I had an e-mail address for their mom, I dropped her a line to clarify and apologise. She replied with a huge thank you for teaching her kid to knit. They have taught her now, and the both of them knit together. (This kid really needed something productive and positive to do too, last I heard from the mom she was a bit worried about some of the decisions they were making.) I'm still smiling over this.

#really seriously considering taking up teaching again #the arts group just down the road doesn't appear to have found a knitting teacher #just the crochet one #and when I was talking with the classroom teacher today #she had mentioned that when I do my “next steps” presentation I might want to touch on where they can get lessons #and there doesn't seem to be *anyone* locally #I should contact the guild #and the owner of the LYS that has relocated out of town #see if either of them know anyone who's teaching

Needing a Sua perspective from the ALNST auditions to Round 1. I never put much thought into what happens to the cast post-Anakt Garden graduation (do they immediately go to the auditions? Is there a period of time where they dont see each other until they recognize each other at the audition? Theres a considerable amount of time between the auditions and their Alien Stage season, did they see each other often between then or...? etc.), but regardless, imagine being her and having to choose between sabotaging your own audition so you dont have to go the the Sing, Win, or Die Show or putting your in your all in hopes of winning and spending just a bit more time with this girl you love because you know itll likely be the last time you see her. Imagine...

#dee p thoughts #alien stage #alnst #vivinos #like. not as if life wouldve been sunshine and rainbows if sua failed the audition and never went on alien stage hashtag Im a Pet to Aliens #but like. sua was definitely more in the know. Im not the type to believe mizi was completely naive but I think mizi may have bought into #the idea that dying Wasnt That Bad due to what she was taught and her trust in her owners...until round 1- maybe mizi was confident she'd #truly win and/or her owners praised and made her feel so. sua: ''My dream is Mizi's dream. (paraphrased)'' etc etc #maybe it was the dream of mizi's owners that mizi wanted to fulfill or mizi just wanted to impress her owners in return for their care...#but sua knew. she knew it would either be she never sees mizi again whether she dies or achieve such fame that sua could never reach her...#or sua can spend a little time with her. whatever they have left. whether it was her or mizi the likelihood of them ever seeing each other #again... because mizi is intent on this. she is going to join alien stage. she is going to pass the auditions because she is so dazzling.#...I need to be with her.#I think considering the ivan and sua comic anakt garden may be a pipeline to alien stage? its functionally a music school iirc so I think i #at least gives them a leg up and humans are put into anakt garden with at least some intention of having them try out for alien stage-#but nonetheless I imagine there was a liminal space where none of the cast really knew where their lives were going post-anakt garden.#not that they have much choice in the matter but still dalkjdalkbn- that liminal space mustve been a dark time for majority of them #because well. their owners. and they couldnt meet each other and may never meet again...#regarding the time between the auditions and their alien stage season I imagine its funnily a lot of. training. pr vocals visuals...#they have autographs despite them all potentially dying quickly they had them draft and practice and perfect autographs guys adjlkbnadlfkjf #the look mizi and sua shared in sweet dream when they both passed the auditions together...AUGH.....

Playing Nu Carnival and I haven’t started the recent event or gotten anywhere close to finishing the story yet (stuck on the bear fight in Blade’s chapter) but I’m gonna be honest Huey sounds like he fucking sucks

#Nu carnival #Like. He MADE aster and Morvay just to abandon them.#That business with blade sounds super fucked up #Quincy lives in the middle of the fucking woods alone and I know #part of it is because the people he knew started being suspicious of him when he didn’t age #But I also fully believe it isn’t for no reason that he’s so suspicious of anyone like Huey #And Kuya. Man where do I fucking start #I really can’t get over the aster and Morvay thing I know he’s done worse but #I was doing uh. What’s his face. Casino owner version of aster’s story #And the fact that he keeps going ‘maybe Huey will come back if I clean the house enough… maybe he’ll stay if I make sure everything’s #perfect’#my god that alone made me want to kick Huey’s ass #Something about that hurt me really bad

[ID: a wide panel from Trigun Maximum. In the foreground, Vash and Knives as children are facing away from the reader, so their expressions cannot be seen. In the middle of the panel is a bank of computer screens. In the background are three large glass tubes, which the boys are looking up at. The biggest and centremost tube contains a shadowed figure that might have once been a child. The legs are the thin legs of a humanoid child, but above that is a dark mass of bulging, torn, distorted flesh. a left hand is floating in the same tank, apparently torn off from the rest of the body. The right arm, with enough of the flesh gone to expose what may be the bones, is floating in one of the side tubes. The other side tube is mostly obscured by Vash's shoulder, but not enough to hide that it contains a brain, with the eyeballs still attached. The body in the centre tube does seem to still have a head, but so shadowed that what its face may look like, or even if it still has a face, is impossible to tell. End ID.]

There she is. Everything about this is so gross and horrifying. Even in death, her body was afforded no dignity, no personhood; Rem does her best to keep the place clean and leaves flowers, but Tessla's body is still floating in a test tube, preserved and exposed in all that was done to her. God I HOPE she was already dead when her arms started falling off. I SUPER HOPE that she was already dead when her brain and eyeballs were extracted; the optic nerves being fully connected, they may have cut off the entire top half of her head to get it out relatively intact. Int he manga, at least, there's no indication that she's anything but very, very dead, but I gotta give Stampede for finding the one way this could possibly be made any worse by flashing an "ALIVE" across the screen. In the manga, I genuinely hope her body was incinerated when the ship went down. I hope her body finally got the freedom of cremation or decomposition.

#Trigun #body horror #child death #you ever go to a museum and realize it's really fucked up that there are human bodies there whose owners didn't donate them?#Medical history is rife with bodysnatching #especially with disabled or otherwise unusual human bodies #where the wishes of the living person mattered very little after they were dead #I have no religious feelings about the afterlife but I do have strong opinions on bodily autonomy #If people wanna donate their remains to science #that's rad!#tessla never even got asked what she wanted #not once in her life #I hope she rests in peace in the end.

Jane's Hotel

#jane's hotel #flash #a game about a bizarre hotel where room service consists of the owner bringing the guests coffee and newspapers to their rooms #that and calling a maid to clean #later on you can also bring the guests phone and turn on the tv for them if they drag themselves out. who wouldn't want to stay there #well. the guests in the game because they all leave by the end of the day #oh i forgot the rooms are all singles. this is no way to run a hotel.#have i mentioned this was one of my favorite time management games :)#it was kind of fun imagining what sort of guests would come to a hotel where you can only stay for hours and get just coffee and newspapers

#hello time of the day where im deleriously sleepy so buckle your seatbelts and prepare for me to make a dot post that is a bit weird #Anyways! idk why but i really struggle with allowing myself to pet cats?#like i love them. i am a cat person. my biggest dream is to have as many cats as humanly possible #but for some reason whenever i am around them... i just feel so reluctant to bother them?#i dont have this issue with dogs. like i will pet them and mess about and not be so worried about bothering them. im still conscious of not #harassing them because like. idk just boundaries i guess. i have this thing in my mind where its like i know they cant actually Say if im #they want to be pet so i try not to overstep. but yeah with cats i am just So much more wary. even though i know so much about them and #their body language etc. like i love cats i do. but im always so hesitant to try pick them up or pet them etc etc #i think part of it is also that i dont wanna bother owners. because even if they say its chill i personally think if i had a pet and #strangers came up to me like :O can i pet them :OOOOO id be kinda weirded out. idk if i am treating pets too similarly to children lmao #i just dont wanna be disrespectful or overstep ever #and i am 100% overthinking all this and idk how to stop dhdbddjjdjdjdjhdjdjdubsjsshsj #le text post

theres something abt suzaku and lelouch that makes for really nice atmospheric dreams for me i think it’s a big part of why cg has stuck with me lolll. very fitting actually bc i originally watched it because i kept having dreams about it and got curious…

#it’s interesting to see which things i get into end up being inspiration for memorable or atmospheric dreams…hxh for example i have many #fond dreams of from back when i thought about it more often and deeply and 999 i have a few dreams that stuck with me that are mostly about #the plot or events of the game rather than the characters like usual #as well as being about pretending i don’t know everything about the characters and events to blend in with the cast lolll #but dungeon meshi which i like about a thousand times more than cg hasn’t had that many great dreams so far #i can only think of one that’s really stuck with me although i have definitely had dm ish dreams and i remember them #maybe it’s just because i only read it about 3 months ago now but still it’s interesting to me #pip speaks #dream diary #oh btw the one that stuck with me was basically pov you’re kabru working as a server at a cafe where they arrange desserts in front of you #and having to figure out whos order was whose based on observing the guests. it was very fun like the restaurant video games i used to play #and senshi was the owner of the restaurant giving kabru tips since he was new #i wish i could share the vivid dream/good dream memory ability bc whenever i talk about it ppl are like yeah i don’t dream or #i don’t dream about characters i like. and i really like when it happens so i want more people to be able to do it. sadly i have no idea how

WIP Wednesday

Coming in late, but I tagged by the lovely @elvensorceress and couldn't just NOT do something! Thank you! I wasn't sure I was going to keep this, since I hadn't set the timeline yet, but I think I will. So enjoy this little unedited side story moment I just wrote from Countdowns about Maddie coming to LA.

*Meanwhile, at a diner somewhere in the desert Southwest*

“Wait, can you turn that up? Please?” the woman at the counter asks. She’d been polite but quiet and touch skittish. Louise knew the type and gave Rocko at the grill a heads up to keep an eye out for trouble. It wouldn’t be the first, or sadly the last time a scared woman on the run was lured into the warmth of the diner near the bus stop, but that’s why Louise was here. Ol’ Mitch had been there when she’d needed a safe place for a meal, and now her and Rocko got to be the safe place for everyone else. They were ready for trouble if it came calling.

The woman is leaning forward, straining to see the story on the TV perched high in the corner of the room. Apparently some kind of bomb at a NASA rover demonstration was all it took to remove the skittish fear from the woman’s face and replace it with horror and an almost motherly concern.

Louise turns the TV up just as the camera zooms in closer on the young man with his leg trapped beneath the rover. The camera may not be close, and may be more focused on someone in what looks to be a bomb vest, but the yell the kid lets out as he tries to move still manages to come through, faint but clear. The woman gasps with her hand over her mouth and her eyes glassy with tears.

“He’s all alone,” is the first thing she says. Followed quickly by “Crush injuries are really tricky, he doesn’t-he doesn’t have much time, they need to get him out of there.”

Louise looks her over, then narrows her eyes at the screen and the hurt young man, knowing full well the bus that comes through has a route out of LA.

“Girl,” she says, gently, but firmly. “If he’s alright leaving marks like that on anyone,” gesturing to the woman’s wrist that had crept free from her jacket sleeves in her distress and distraction, “then maybe he deserves to get a foot crushed under a hunk of metal. No need to go running back for that.”

The woman’s head snaps over to Louise before she glances down and tugs her sleeve back into place. “No, that’s not-he’s-,” she sighs, looking worriedly back at the TV and chewing her lip while listening to the news anchor’s report and the repeat of what little information is available. “That’s my little brother,” she finally whispers, looking heartbroken. “That’s not who I was running from, it’s who I was running to.”

Ahhhh. The lightbulb clicks for Louise and she makes a soothing noise before going to grab a mug and murmur something to Rocko, returning with a steaming cup of lemon tea to place in front of the woman who takes it with a grateful smile, wrapping her hands around the cup to feel the warmth.

The diner is mostly empty so they sit together and watch the news unfold, the woman, Maddie as she introduced herself, wiping away tears when the bomber was disarmed and people swarmed to her brother, one woman kneeling next to him and holding his hand for comfort. Louise had to hand her a tissue when the small group of men around the rover couldn’t get it to budge and the kid, Evan, Maddie called him, screamed at the minute shifts in the weight pressing on him. She had to grab them both tissues when suddenly a barricade was moved and bystanders poured in to help, managing to lift the rover enough for the paramedics to slide the kid free and bundle him into an ambulance.

It's not until the camera follows the ambulance pulling away that Maddie looks around as if waking from a dream. “I-I need to go, I need to see when the next bus is coming, I have to get to LA as soon as possible,” she says as she starts to gather her things.

Rocko, with impeccable timing as always, pokes his head through the service window along with a pair of steaming breakfast specials. “Order up, and ride has arrived!” He shouts, just as a tall, broad woman walks through the door with a jingle of the bells overhead.

“I heard someone needed to get to LA in a hurry?” the woman calls out.

Maddie looks up, startled, and then turns to Louise. Louise just grabs the plats setting one in front of the new woman and the other in front of Maddie with a shrug. “Figured you might be anxious to get to your brother after all that, so I had Rocko get on the CB and see who was available.”

“Oh, I couldn’t possibly-“ Maddie starts to object but Louise waves her off.

“Lots of lost, scared women come through these bus stops out here. And Ruth,” she says, gesturing to the new woman who gives Maddie a nod before shoveling another giant bite of eggs and hashbrown into her mouth, “is a good friend with a big truck, a lead foot, and route directly to LA.”

“I-I don’t know what to say,” Maddie replies and Louise just smiles and pushes the plate closer.

“Nothing to say, darlin’. Now eat up so you’ll be ready to hit the road and take care of that brother of yours.”

“Yes ma’am,” Maddie replies with a tired and strained but genuine smile. Louise nods at her one last time and walks off to make her coffee rounds for the few other patrons, stopping to tap the St. Christopher medal by the register and offer up a prayer for Maddie and Ruth, and for the young man hundreds of miles away being rushed through LA traffic to the hospital.

#911 #buddie fic #countdowns #maddie buckley #i put canon events into my little AU blender #not sure where this all came from and it certainly wasn't supposed to be this long #but it kinda just...did what it wanted to #ANYWAY #louise and rocko run a diner and keep an eye out for vulnerable people needing help #just like they were helped by the owner before them #ruth loves making her truck cab a safe space for people who don't have one because it was her safe space first #i also apologize because i'm the world's slowest writer and this fic is going to be a monster for me #but i'm very excited about it and hope i can do justice to the story i see in my head
