Turns out I misread the Geneuary prompts and yesterday's prompt was actually slumber PARTY but I thought they were two separate prompts rip

So, for Geneuary Day 13, have a tiny sing song Gene! I may do another mobile doodle over it as I've been enjoying doing that over these tiny Genes that I can't colour with my poscas

Au where all the riordanverse protagonists met when they were little. The parents get to talking and end up forming an alliance to take care of their children.

#like #Sadie makes a trip down to Boston to take Percy to an aquarium and runs into Natalie #at the same time Julian is in town with the kids #they meet at the aquarium #the kids start playing together in the kiddie pool #the adults talk while watching their kids and end up scheduling lunch at a restaurant nearby #cue a years long friendship between the parents #the kids also become close friends #the kids catch the attention of various gods but the presence of the other pantheons scares them off #mcga #pjo #tkc #pjo au #riordanverse #let me cook #somnas.rambles #somnas.writes

I like the linda-pendant woman episode but it always annoys me a little bit that it's implied that bob can't take care of the kids or the restaurant AT ALL without linda which is just.... not true? like it's probably easier with her around and she knows a few things w/ bookkeeping etc

But bob can obviously take care of the kids by himself. he does it in SO MANY episodes. it's not a struggle for him (or for linda when she's alone with the kids) it almost feels like they were doing the "incompetent dad can't do anything without his wife and doesn't know how to take care of his own kids" trope except we KNOW that isn't true because he is alone in the restaurant or in the apartment with the kids all the time without any problems?? just a very weird writing choice. it's easier with linda around obvs but bob is clearly not incompetent like this episode kinda tries to protray. unless he's just having a really bad day or something

#“don't leave me with these freakin' kids bob” “these kids are a two-parent two bottles of wine a night job” #you could make the argument that usually one of them is taking care of the kids and one of them is running the restaurant #and that having that balance is what makes it easy for both of them vs bob doing all of it #but i feel like that isn't always true either. he's definitely been in charge while linda was doing whatever the fuck she's doing in eps #bob's burgers #txt

does anyone have any recs for legacy challenges that have drama in them/let you really dive into storytelling & dynamics moreso than focusing on collections/careers/etc. ??

#bonus points for legacies where you can start with your founder as a kid/infant #bc i feel like that will help me get more attached #so many lovely legacy challenges have such cool concepts but they have too many generations with goals im not that into #like it will be a cold day in hell before i play a sim that's pursuing fame again or baking/running a restaurant #those gameplay mechanics get glitchy/repetetive for me so fast so i stray from them #i should prob make my own legacy challenge bc then it would be tailored to ME but it takes a lot of planning and i just wanna play jdlkjdf

People act like society and culture are geared towards families and kids when it's ridiculously not the case and honestly it would be better if it was.

#if it was geared towards families and kids we'd have well-funded well-run child care and the best maternal and children's health outcomes #and genuinely well-maintained children-only spaces with generous mandatory family leave #and a highly-funded and incredibly effective education system with well-regarded educators #and and an etc. #the fact that people bring kids to restaurants where they aren't really meant to be does not mean you're living in a nuclear family dystopi

i know it shouldn’t bother me when people say that dad!gale enjoyers are ignoring gale’s characterization but i can’t help it. it’s not hating gale as a dad that gets me, it’s the idea that “one side” is right and the “other” is wrong. like did the idea that the lines where gale says he’s not father material were written specifically to go both ways simply not occur to some of you? that seems to be the logical conclusion and yet i keep seeing people (mind you, only anti-dad!gale people—not once have i seen a dad!gale enjoyer shame someone for not liking the idea) claim that there’s a correct interpretation! like what happened to live and let live? 😭

#personally i think it has less to do with him thinking he’d be a bad dad #and more that he literally has never thought about having kids bc he’d never found someone to settle down with #and then i also have him and my tav taking yenna back to waterdeep with them #bc gale does camp cooking and yenna says she’ll cook so i like to think they bonded over cooking dinners #and then in the fic gale’s fam runs a restaurant and yenna will go into that #and it’s simply the fact that it seems like a really good environment for yenna so gale’s like well. #we’re taking the kid with us and we’ll figure out the rest later! spontaneity can be good sometimes! #tbh if there’s a character i think would absolutely not want kids it would be astarion i think he’d have his fun babysitting and coming over #but i think he’d be better off—and happier—without them. free to explore himself unburdened. #rambling

What are Louise's top five episodes that show her at her most genuinely Louise?

Oooo, babe, you came to play with the hard questions!

1. Ear-sy Rider. I mean, come on. We see her attachment to her ears, her resourcefulness, her ruthlessness, her bravery, and her fire. What’s not to love!

2. The Fresh Princ-ipal. Here’s another great episode for her cunning, her humor, and her “using her powers for good” even if she was reluctant to help Frond.

3. Flu-ouise. Fear of vulnerability, trust issues, but ultimate love for her family on display in this one.

4. Thelma and Louise Except Linda is Thelma. For her love for what is just (not what is technically right), that she risked herself for her mom, and a small reminder that she’s a kid who is still learning.

5. The Kids Run The Restaurant. I mean, come on. For the line delivery of “I don’t want to make cards, I want to make money!” alone.

my 400 page essay on how bob's burgers is fundementally about breaking the cycle of abuse

#well thats basically what it is anyway. we've all watched bob fires the kids and the loft bed episode #bob was raised in a restaurant and had a shitty childhood (not just bcuz of that but lots of reasons) the kids get to have a happy #and safe childhood where they can express themselves. its everything bob and linda never got #thats like the fundemental breakdown of the show beyond standard Sitcom Family Runs A Failing Restaurant #txt #bob's burgers

July 23

#1. the weather this month was horrible. how is it raining this much in the middle of summer? so annoying #2. July was a month full of having mehmaan or going to visit other peoples houses. I’m a pretty social person and I usually love spending #spending time with family but this was a bit too much #I made my version of knafeh after quite some time (without a recipe really) and it turned out good 😃 #3. flowers my mum regretted buying cause after paying she saw other ones she liked more and which were cheaper lol #4. these beads I used last year to make necklace. wore it only a few times so decided to change it and make it into a phone chain. also #got this cute sticker from work. cute right. my inner child is really happy with the amount of cute stickers I can just use #5. every year there’s this group of Muslim youth from another city. and they organise a carnival type a thing for the kids in their city #2 years ago I volunteered there and decided to do it again this year. it’s not in my own city but our masjid is in that city. took my mum #+ little brother with so he could play. my aunt also came with her kids and it was a really nice day. the whole thing was organised and run #by Muslims and was free for all. i had a good time helping out and was asked if I wanna join the committee (?). I declined #bc it’s a little too far for me to be present throughout the year. I will continue to help on the day of in sha Allah. anyway they did do #catering for the volunteers and it was from one of my favourite restaurants in that city. I kinda know the owner so when I saw him when I #joked if my favourite cheesecake would also be provided today. he said unfortunately not but he’ll bring some just for me so he did 🥺 #6. made a little heart w my baby bros hair #monthly recap

Im going to make a long post on my thoughts about 2.0:

Honestly, i feel like there were ways cec could have moved on from animatronics to live shows that were much better.. i think the biggest crime is the minimalism and, in my opinion, somewhat ugly design choices of 2.0. All the previous stages often had nice decor and themes, and the whole store would have nice artwork on the walls and nicely designed signs. It looked pretty busy at times, but as a kid, it was fun. It stuck in my brain as a 'fun thing' more than any boring, minimalist design would have.

Here is some comparisons. I will say i think the colorfulness of the design in the top middle picture is okay i guess, but the fact that theyre just... silhouettes... makes them a little bland. The bottom middle is actually from my childhood location that had a studio c when i was a kid. It had a lot more decor, lights decorating the stages, and studio c had a lot of fun gimmicks like the blue screen and cameras. Not only that, but with the animatronics being out all the time, even when there was no show id frequently go back to look at our studio c chuck and watch him or even pretend to talk with him with my siblings. What happens when theres no live show going on in a 2.0??? Sure kids might want to dance on the light up stage by themselves, but.. I remember i liked to dance in the party room just fine WITHOUT the encouragement of a glowing square on the ground lol.

The problem is, cec just seems to be downgrading every bit of itself. They're remodeling, sure, but taking out every ounce of personality. From what ive seen from my converted local locations, theyre even taking out about half of the games per location for whatever reason. Theyre removing the animatronics and replacing them with a ~fancy glowing screen~ on the ground, which seems to also mean chuck e's presence in Chuck E. Cheese's itself will be reduced to tv skits that can just be played from youtube anyways and an occasional dance from an employee that isnt being paid enough to put on a performance (not an insult to the employees that dance with no enthusiasm in a fricken cec mascot suit, its just something ive noticed at every location ive been to recently and i wish cec either paid them more and/or hired people who were like. Performers. So that it actually seemed worth the trade of animatronics)

What they could have done was, like i just said, actually make their emphasis on performance mean something, especially if it wont be out for the kids to see constantly like the animatronics were. Hire dancers, and pay them more or something, do whatever disneyland does for their mascot wearers. Heck, i remember cec used to try to be on par with disneyland, but i guess it became too expensive for them or something because theyre not trying to be a fantastic, magical experience anymore. They just seem to be doing the bare minimum to "upgrade". I know animatronics are expensive, i know remodeling stores is expensive, but i just dont understand why theyve decided to renew cec with something so bland... wheres the creativity, wheres the fun? Why couldnt they have come up with an innovative and fun way to upgrade the stores that were becoming old and broken, why did it have to be like this?

#maybe i just know nothing about business and money #maybe i dont know what its like to own a 30-40 year old restaurant that's becoming run down and cost ineffective and needing to remodel it s #so that it isnt gross and falling apart. maybe i dont know what its like to market to kids or run a business. maybe im just sad that #something i loved as a child so dearly is gone forever and i can never experience anything like it again #maybe i dont know #but i still feel like they didnt have to suck all the magic and fun anymore. because without magic. we're just another pizza place #long post #cec #chuck e cheese #chuck e cheeses
