Matt thirties, French trans man. (he/him/his)
Compulsive tagger & tag babbler. I teach French & spend way too much time thinking about fictional gay idiots.
cats don't even unstick their claws out of things anymore they will just sit there with their claw stuck in a blanket and look at you like this until you unstick it for them
why don't people in zombie apocalypse stories ever just wear suits of armor? you think any zombie is gonna get their shitty rotting jaws through this?
I'm gonna rip and tear my way through the zombie apocalypse completely unharmed because none of the undead hoards will be able to get through my plate mail
If you know what you'd have to do to solve a problem, but you just don't want to do it, your main problem isn't the problem itself. Your problem is figuring out how to get yourself to do the solution.
If your problem is not eating enough vegetables, the problem you should be solving is "how do I make vegetables stop being yucky". If your problem is not getting enough exercise, the problem you should be solving is "how do I make exercise stop sucking ass". You're not supposed to just be doing things that are awful and suck all the time forever, you're supposed to figure out how to make it stop being so awful all the time.
I used to hate wearing sunscreen because it's sticky and slimy and disgusting and it feels bad and it smells bad, so I neglected to wear it even if I needed to. Then I found one that isn't like that, and doesn't smell and feel gross. Problem solved.
There is no correct way to live that's just supposed to suck and feel bad all the time. You're allowed to figure out how to make it not suck so bad.
we haven't had a true tumblr sexyman in years. Sans was like the last one. I can still see his weird glowing goo ghost dick when I close my eyes. that kind of absolute derangement just doesn't happen anymore. some people just liking Astarion and Senshi a lot is not the same. a true tumblr sexyman makes this website absolutely unusable
ATTENTION ATTENTION. @almost-a-class-act and I are launching our podcast Rosie the Reviewer, this Friday! We'll be talking about our first WW2 show, which, you may not be very surprised to find, is Band of Brothers!
You can find the podcast on your usual podcast places, but I'd love it if you subscribed on Spotify, where you can also find a little preview as of this moment!
Tomorrow, we're recording an episode about Unbroken (book AND movie), so if you've got a specific moment you'd like us to consider, feel free to send an ask!
Oh, also I had fun coming up with less uniform sizes for the TBU verse!Gold Saints! First I averaged the sizes between average male Japanese size and the average male size for the guys' countries of origin, then I applied some modifiers with a d10 on a semi randomized basis x)
I kept Aldebaraan at his canon size because I like a gentle giant, and made Shaka shorter because his training inspired by buddhist hermits who barely eat would DEFINITELY have stunted his growth. Same for Aphrodite, he just had taller genes so he got more centimeters even though his training did not let him grow to his full size.
Oh, and Aiolos here is (resurrected as) 14 so he's noticeably shorter, but eagerly waiting for the growth spurt that will (hopefully) allow him to catch up on his little brother.
Achievement unlocked: my Spanish teacher is going to watch the 2023 Saint Seiya movie so she can have context for Times Between Us because she thought the way I handled Aphrodite's (implied) poison blood was interesting
Friends, literally none of those stories really digs into that concept and now I feel like I have to figure out a 5+1 fic going into Aphrodite's training so she doesn't check out the series for nothing xD
