The northern lights dance,
snow blankets the ground,
it’s the Christmas season—so the Book Flood begins!
People plan and they dream,
and they visit the shops
for books to give loved ones, and families, and friends.
And when Christmas Eve comes,
they’ll share magical stories,
curl up by the fire, and read, read, read, read…

like half the sixth graders are failing english cos the homework is on google classroom and they don't have basic computer skills. like mayhaps we should fuckin teach them basic computer skills
#they get phones. they might get macs#but a windows laptop? wizardry#I asked if they would cover this in computer science and they were like no there's a whole curriculum already#like how exactly the fuck are they accomplishing anything in computer science then#okay so homeroom then. except we have 15 million other things we have to do in homeroom and we're only in there for 40 minutes a day#and today we spent nearly all of that time trying to get them to send one email#during which one kid out of 15 successfully sent an email#so in conclusion I'm going to put the curriculum book in my mouth and shake it like a feral dog. thank you

Macaria: Dad, why is that lady so big?
Hades: Oh, she's pregnant. She's got a little baby in her womb. She's so big because she's likely close to giving birth soon.
Macaria: But I thought babies were out of dessicated souls, the dirt of the underworld, and a little bit of river water.
Hades: No, Mac, that's just how you were born. And that was technically an accident because I had no idea that was even going to happen.
Hades: But most babies, especially mortal babies, are made inside their mothers. First a couple will have sex, then the baby will come to grow inside their mother for a few months. Then their mothers give birth, and when they take their first breath, their soul blooms. It's a tiny feathery thing at first, but it will grow strong and big as time goes on and they experience more and more of the world.
Macaria: So the mothers make the life inside of them?
Hades: Essentially, yeah, but the baby isn't truly alive until the soul forms, which only comes at first breath. Sometimes second breath, if the first one had some issues. A couple times it was the third breath.
Macaria:
Macaria: That's disgusting, I don't want to do that.
Hades: What?
Macaria: I do not want to make a living thing inside my body. If I have a baby, someone else is going to do that for me, or I'm going to go fish desiccated souls out of the river and put them on a mound of dirt and make one that way, just like you did, but on purpose.
Hades: That's very fair, Mac. I don't have understand the appeal either. I mean, I know it's their only avenue to creating children, but why do they always look so pleased about it? It's weird. Making a life is weird.
Macaria: Yeah, but you still have to do it.
Hades: I don't have a womb, Mac.
Macaria: You can make one! Or find someone with one and get them pregnant.
Hades: You just said-
Macaria: I meant for me, not for you! I want siblings, and if it's this easy to make a baby, I don't know why you haven't given them to me yet!
#macaria#hades#happy talks greek mythos#someone's like hey mac have you ever considered having a kid? and she just starts gagging#if she's gonna have a kid they're coming by stork or plucked out of the ground like a flower#also hades being like but i dont want to get someone pregnant because i will then have participated in the act of creating life#and that as we both know is a disgusting thing and mac is just throwing a book of pickup lines at him#mac is very much i get that dad but you are my only parent i do not have any orher person i can go to and say give me a little sister#so start reading and get out there! and then she aggressively wingmans him for centuries until he gets married to Persephone#because then Persephone aggressively wingmans to satisfy her vouyerism kink 😂#ah fuck when i get blasted straight to hell for my blasphemy promise you'll miss me 😂

It’s kind of funny that the adults who love YA and comic books and Disney and other media for kids also, apparently, want desperately to be taken seriously by other grown ups. (You know, treated like an adult.) Like ‘yes, I only read Harry Potter fanfic and watch cartoons, but damnit Barbara don’t you patronize me! I demand to be treated with the same respect as any other adult baby!’ (I’d say ‘have a drink and calm down’ but my bottle warmer is on the blink.) Does the defensiveness come from a place of insecurity or do they genuinely believe that other adults are lying when they claim to enjoy adult things? Like do they think all adults would secretly prefer to watch CocoMelon instead of HBO and play with Lego rather than have sex, but gosh darn it most grups just won’t admit it?
i think they just never grew out of the child mentality that adults are boring and lame unlike them, this fifteen year old moron, the coolest person they know (because they know like 20 people). they see adulthood as going to bed at 9 PM and having to work and do taxes and chores and watching war documentaries and reading nonfiction. it just smacks of arrested development to me, but i also like don't take that kind of adult seriously and i definitely don't put any stock in their opinions on books, films, etc., and will tell them so lol.
#asks#i'm not commenting on it as a whole but i find 'healing your inner child through indulging in all your childish whims' personally unhelpful#i heal my inner child by striving to have a fulfilling adult life free of all the fears and trauma responses that defined my childhood.#not by making kraft mac and cheese and nuggies for dinner every night#but by LEARNING how to cook. and clean. and take care of myself. and be responsible for myself.#but yknow. those things take time and effort. engaging with complex books for adults is HARD and why do hard things :(#also i never read why aye books as a kid because i was reading adult books from the age of 10 and i'm not gonna say that makes me better#but

No actually though while I'm on a roll ranting about the funny monke show
THIS FUCKING SCENE IN PARTICULAR GETS ME SO BAD. I THINK ABOUT THIS SCENE SO OFTEN
The timing of MK's words and what we see on screen.
"I'd never abandon her when she needs me"
When MK says this, the shot is focused on Wukong, as he listens in and starts to glance back at Macaque.
LIKE WE KNOW. WE K N O W WUKONG ABANDONED MACAQUE. Those two have SOME shit going on in their past. Macaque needed Wukong, and he left him (either intentionally or unintentionally) and that left Macaque bitter and sad, and that bitterness was prolly left to rot after hundreds of years (not to mention that whatever happened between them got worse and worse and. Yknow jttw. Wukong ends up killing him.)
BUT WHAT GETS ME IS THE NEXT PART AFTERWARDS.
"We're heroes, it's what we do!"
Macaque and Wukong have ALWAYS been compared to the sun and moon. Like, canonically. Wukong calls Macaque his shadow, Macaque compares him to light-- they're opposites.
When MK talks about them being heroes, it's focused on Macaque because- well, he's NOT a hero. Not to himself, anyway. And this is brought up again and again; during his shadow plays, he specifically refers to Wukong (and MK) as "the hero". And they are! But Macaque doesn't see himself like that-- he refers to himself as "the Warrior". He doesn't feel like a hero. And this is brought up again in the s3 specials. "I'm not a hero, bud-" and "then be a warrior".
He's so used to living in everyone's shadows and being at the bottom of the barrel-- he's got a "worse version of Wukong's powers" (in Wukong's own words), he's revived by LBD only to be forced to do her dirty work, he's punished when he doesn't fall in line with her- he loses no matter what.
AND LBD SAYS IT HERSELF.
As soon as Macaque was given the chance (or, a "breath of new life") he tries to fuck off and do his own thing! He tries to stay far away from everything else.
But he doesn't get to.
He's threatened and shoved down into the dirt again and again and again and it's no wonder he was so desperate in s3e8-10. He tries to freak Tang out, tries to compare them to each other, but it backfires. LBD immediately tries to off him, but he desperately screams at her about a weapon MK and the others are planning to use- he doesn't care that he's giving her information, he just doesn't want to DIE. He begs MK and everyone else to stand down, that he just wants to take the Samadhi Fire and leave. He sounds just so DONE with it all during that scene. And when Tang does finish the ritual and the Samadhi Fire is reawakened-- what does it do?
It gets rid of LBD's hold on Macaque. He's no longer being trapped in crystal.
And he says, all happy, "it worked!"
You see the same thing in s3e8. After Tang tells him "don't you see the Samadhi Fire is our only way of helping humanity?"
Macaque tells him, "the Samadhi Fire is MY only chance at getting far away from the Lady Bone Demon"
He never wanted to help her. All he wanted to do was get away from her. He never intended to give her the Samadhi Fire, the rings-- nothing.
He's selfish, and honestly, who can blame him? Given everything we know about him, he owes everyone here nothing. He doesn't want to help them, he doesn't want to help or listen to WUKONG, who (again, either intentionally or unintentionally) abandoned him and later killed him, he doesn't even want to rlly hurt MK that much ("stand down, or I will PUT you down" implies that he doesn't want to fight him if he doesn't have to, but at this point he's so desperate for his own survival that he will if MK won't get out of his way).
Macaque doesn't see himself as a hero because he can't identify himself with that kind of title.
Just.
This scene, man. There's so much behind it.
#Lmk#Lego monkie kid#Monkie Kid#I think there's the often characterization that Macaque is just an asshole and finds joy in fucking with them and that's just...#Not how I see it#I think?#Like.#Hm.#I'll avoid talking about jttw until I actually get the books and read them but for now#LBD revealed to us in s3 that Mac's only alive bc she brought him back in order to help her uj#Perfect the world or whatever#Nonsense like that#And then went off about 'with the first breath of a new life he reveled against fate'#The moment he got to live on his own he immediately looked off from her and abandoned ship#Ig the first thing on his mind was to get back at Wukong?#Which like. Fair ig. Given what we know about their backstory he definitely resents him#Adding that I think the Fanon idea/what the show might be hitting towards for the two of them is so dramatic but#But the original Canon.#Was just.#Macaque fucking around and finding out

#iasip#dennis reynolds#it's always sunny in philadelphia#ada speaks#polls#i think he's full of shit#it's not even necessarily that i don't think hes capable (but come on he's like. demonstrably weak as shit)#but i think he leans into the murderer/serial killer thing as part of his mask#i don't think he's actually killed anyone#and maureen. well. idfk what to think because it was clear he didnt kill her and then they walked it back... what. 2 seasons later?#they had security footage that cleared dennis' name though. so. i don't think he did.#mac & charlie have killed a kid. frank has killed or indirectly caused deaths several times. dee#well.#dee would kill the gang if she could and she has TRIED in the self help book#i think it would be extremely funny if dennis hadnt killed a single person#theres like scattered evidence even before maureen but idk.#i honestly hate the random retconning they did to him to make him fit the mould and so does glenn so you know what#dennis has never killed a human. and whatever the hell all that shit abt killing and mutilating crows and keeping the skins of animals was#i choose to ignore. he wanted to become a vet bc he likes animals and that's all it was. 🥴#anyway dennis is a serial abuser but i dont think he would even have the physical strength to choke someone out#and he grabs a bread knife when he says hes gonna kill charlie.#at most. the idea of killing someone gets him off. i think thats mostly what it is.#The Illusion of Power.#the thought that he Could kill someone if he wanted to. but he won't.#but he could.#and that's what makes him feel powerful

You know like Izuku would have a fuck field day with Havenfall’s Finest. Like he thinks it’s all Quirks and it’s the COOLEST SHIT.
Diego the doctor who is a vampire who was around during the start of Quirks. JD the Devil also around for it.
Razi who is a dijin and has a BOTTLE that acts as the lamp of his that he hides away. Mac the werewolf.
Izuku would be so damn excited with all of these people and I don’t think it would change even after he knows. Rather he flips focus and goes: THE SUPERNATURAL EXISTS?!? Proceeds to become a witch (JD brings up witches in their route with MC summoning them) and pretends it’s his Quirk.
He’s all over this shit.
(Side note as Mac canon wise is a hero geek I’ve been debating on if she’d be a hero or cop still. It’s a hard choice.)
#bnha#havenfall is for lovers#Izuku the nerd#best to is Mac is just like him#Izuku with all the questions#Diego gives him notebooks#Razi hands him magic books#JD is a little annoyed they didn’t get to teach their kid fire magic#oh wait shit their kid?#crisis time

Even though I do not ship anyone unless it's canon (because i myself despite romance, and plus i don't feel that much comfortable shipping someone from someone else culture without feeling like I'm disrespecting the said culture)
Mei and red son do sound pretty good together,
not too much for me to ship them, but i surely find red boy x mei more fitting than red boy and MK,
I don't see MK being that much interested in dating or anything, and i just see them as them going on the path for enemies to best friends,
i do see red boy and mei because they match energy and they just seem fitting to me that's all,
Just stating an opinion on two ships
#pigsy and tang do sound like an old married couple#which is funny and i do understand the ship#i do not have any strong or good relationship woth shadowpeach though#i do not like that much them being together. mac is definitely toxic for wukong and wukong stated multiple times in both movies#cartoons and the book that he's aroace#while in the book is pretty obvious in the films and in lmk was confirmed he was#just wanted to keep my little aroace rappresentation#and also i don't feel comfortable at all shipping such an important person like wukong#sun wukong#journey to the west#lego monkie kid#monkey king#jttw#monkie kid#MK#dragonfruit#mei x red son#mk x red son

the amount of hours i have spent watching the same four fucking videos of donna fucking murphy sing the same four goddamn songs should be a concerning element of my mental health* but alas i'm by far the most stable i have ever been in my life and i'm beginning to think this whole hyperfixating thing is actually how my brain works when it's lacking in dopamine and should not be a concern at all
*a sign that i'm escaping reality, as that's been my lifelong pattern which i desperately desire to no longer repeat and have been taking active steps in doing away with altogether
#irl post#also the four times (8hrs total) i've watched passion with and without commentary from the cast/creators/sondheim in the last two days#would make my father DEEPLY concerned about my mental state#and the unholy amount of donna murphy trivia i've collected in the short span of roughly 3 weeks WITHOUT EVEN TRYING should be illegal#istg my brain just slurps up random useless hollywood trivia like it's a goddamn gas station icee#i dont want to know these things. i want to unlearn them. my brain refuses to do that.#i still know useless fleetwood mac trivia i learned in 2006#the amount of osmond family trivia stored in my long-term memory is legitimately very concerning like wHY do i know these things?????#why do i know all of marie's kids' names?? and that donny has mottephobia?? and that wayne is a pilot?? and that alan wrote children's book#like what the genuine shit

Re read Wayside School again recently and I forgot how deeply and intensely trans-coded Mac and Nancy were
Like, this is a children's book written in the late 1980s, but these two kids have a chapter where they switch names because their birth names don't match their genders. And it's Wayside school, so more attention is paid to the silliness of how they go about changing names, but it still is a deeply trans narrative. And everyone in the class accepts that Mac is Mac now, and they goof off switching names with each other. And the narrative makes it clear who's talking by mentioning their original, "real" name, but it never does that with Mac.
I love this series. It's so good, it captures the experience of being a kid so well.
#very little of it aged poorly#all that is there is one instance of the g slur and maybe a few fatphobic comments (though one of the most athletic characters is also#pointed out to be fat)#even the chapter where one of the kids brings a homeless guy in for show and tell is really kind of cute#he's as goofy as everything else in the story but is shown to be a very intelligent guy#he doesn't sit down and explain income inequality to the class of small children#but he knows where mac's missing sock was and can spell really well#(the sock was in the refrigerator ofc)#wayside school#children's books#everything i aspire to be#queue queue

“12 is too young to stay home alone” um jessi and mallory from the babysitters’ club were 11 and looking after upwards of 4 kids singlehanded i think a 12yo can babysit himself
#rereading an old fic and like i knew it was babying this character a bit and i was rolling w it for the plot#but in podfic form i can’t skim over details and now im worried this has just ruined the whole fic for me#twelve years old! that’s middle school! that’s solidly junior high#he can absolutely stay home by himself. not for weeks on end obvi but the relevant authorities being described here don’t know that atp#puhlease#mac why r u citing a kids book for this. well. i’m being petty over fiction i’ll cite wvr other fiction i want
