Nerd banter with Tails yea!! I wanted to articulate this for the longest time- basically, up until.the introduction of Nine the only person Tails could've bud heads with regarding smart guy stuff and technology was Eggman, which aside from it being a grown ass adult beefing with a literal baby it's also ussually tied to a tiresome mission to save the world and twart the doctor's plans where Tails just rubs the always repeated failiture in

With Nine tho, not only is this the first time both of them can go full nerd mode and communicate without the need to simplify anything, they can also attempt to one up each other and sabotage and give a hint or a pitch for improvement with no actual stakes involved. (Also first time Nine's intellect was trully challenged, scary!!)

#sonic prime #prime bros #why oh why can I put thoughts to words only when its fucking midnight and my eyes hurt to stay open #its either I open my phone two seconds away before I managr to fall asleep or let half of human knowledge be lost forver cuz I forgor #anyway #yes they can get along sometimes #they get along quite well actually!!#once were past all the existentional crisees and whatnot #miles nine prower #nine the fox #miles tails prower #tails the fox #silly brainworms

Periodic reminder to trans people who use minoxidil/rogaine on their face:

Make sure to wash your hands afterward, especially if you have cats. Also, please keep it off your lips. You don't want to ingest it (it also tastes like hell, take it from me). If you're prone to dry skin, invest in a good moisturizer, something that agrees with your skin and will keep it feeling nice.

Carry on. I wish you all the best of luck in whatever you do to promote hair growth 💛

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #nonbinary #trans advice #yes we can talk all day about if it's effective for facial hair use #and that it isn't necessarily approved for use on the face by the fda as far as i know #so listen to yourself. if you decide to try it out then ditch it that's genuinely fine #beard oil can definitely be a decent investment (one that i haven't done for some reason)#i know reminders like this aren't necessary for all but i like being able to remind myself too #sometimes you get so into the monotony of routine that you kinda forget y'know?#like i've had to force myself to be mindful and slow when i do my shots because i can get overconfident in my speed #and that just means i fuck something up along the way lol

it was always a strange dichotomy. every middle school classmate i had told me i'd be a millionaire when i grew up, a Famouse Artisté. it's easy enough to imagine as a teen, i suppose: skill equals fame equals money. i was doubtful about this prophecy, not because i wasn't confident in my ability to draw, but because it was hard to imagine a world where i'd be paid for it.

it was an ice breaker game at summer camp. horrible one, really - everyone in a group were given a character profile. now we had to imagine that it was the zombie apocalypse, and the helicopter to safety was two seats short and we had argue why we deserved a spot. the character i got was an asshole doctor of some kind. i don't remember if i argued my way into the helicopter or not, but i do remember the feeling that's been hanging over me my entire life - if the apocalypse happens right now, i have nothing to contribute.

there's something really painful about it. i have cultivated a skill for my whole life, i can make art and tell stories that are entirely unique to me, there is no way to get someone else to create in the exact same way i can, and yet - i've contributed more to capitalist society by sitting in an empty hotel reception for eight hours a day.

which made me develop anxiety, to boot.

i illustrated two children's books. they're some of my best work. the contract i signed was industry standard and the indie author who had hired me was incredibly kind... but even after stock sold out i had earnt little more than some pocket change.

in high school we had an outing to dig our own snow caves that we would spend the night in. in teams, thankfully. i have so little physical strength to speak of, most i could do to help was clear away the snow rubble and toss it outside. i know, i know, my classmates reassured me it was an important job to do, i was an invaluable member of the group, sure - but it's that feeling, you know?

what would my task be in the communist solarpunk commune?

a person cannot be useless. it's a human being. they just exist, no ifs and buts about it. one can only be useless in the eyes of an ableist, capitalist society that sees no value in being alive beyond production and profit.

sometimes i receive messages from internet strangers to tell me something i said - often several years ago - was helpful to them. maybe it was a throwaway comment on a forum. maybe it was replying to a question they could've googled the answer to. maybe it was an encouraging reply to someone's artwork. turns out it mattered to someone. huh.

of course you can learn new skills. i have learnt plenty over the years! i have also learnt that there are limitations to what i can do. that some of the obstacles i face are not in fact obstacles everyone faces. it's not that i can't break tasks into smaller steps, it's more that half of those steps are going to be "rinse your hands because you Touched a Thing and now you're going to have to touch Another Thing." i wonder if that's adding to my cognitive load or something.

i was never raised to be a man, so by all accounts i do not understand why i'm so haunted by the spectre of toxic masculinity - what would i do if i was a medieval peasant and a war broke out? what if i was in a pre-historic hunter gatherer society and i was expected to hunt? what if i was a humble farm boy discovering the sword of the chosen one and the world depended on my non-existing courage to face certain death?

look, it's stupid. these are not scenarios i will find myself in. besides, pre-historic humans depended on community and taking care of each other. that's how we survive.

i'm not useless and i decided to make peace with being useless anyway.

we're surrounded by digital clocks. we can't really escape them. do we need watchmakers? would they save me a spot in the zombie apocalypse helicopter? no, don't answer that. i'm just happy i found something that requires a light touch and an observant eye.

#too long for twitter #I AM NOT ASKING FOR ADVICE I AM JUST MUSING AND WRITING A BLOG POST FOR THE JOY OF WRITING BLOG POSTS #not mentioned: the bachelors degree in art history i took to procrastinate with my life.#i would love to work as an illustrator still. if the opportunity to do so comfortably comes along i will take it #but im also happy to pursue my passion in my free time as something that belongs to me #number one question im asked whenever i tell someone i go to watchmaker school is 'BUT DO YOU STILL DRAW??'#it's like asking if i still breathe. yes! i still do the thing that makes me feel alive #it's just. we live in a world that's hostile to Live Comfortably and Pursue Creative Passions at the same time #and a society that can be so largely dismissive of art sometimes; all the while consuming it en masse #ah you probably get it. you dont need me to tell you

some ideas: nico’s rise (like sunrise), nico’s dawn, nico’s spark (like the fire)

I want it to be more about chronology. Like, the passage of time, the "natural" change of things. There's a sense in this book that the change is welcome, but a bit... dreaded. Because in the end, it's like she had no agency over the way her Clan's tune changed.

As inevitably as the sun rises, as the ice thaws in spring, things got better. She was able to finally see the changes she could make, but was still frustrated by all the things still out of her reach.

She's the same as she always was, but it's like the world turned around her. She's entered into a new season in her life, and only now will she decide what that means, going foward. She could not choose when the winter melted into spring, but maybe now, she will be able to select which flowers she will allow to grow.

So... maybe Nightcloud's Dawn, but something doesn't capture it quite perfectly yet.

#The melancholy of spring's faint green #No warmth you had melted the winter. In the end it simply came.#In a universe of a lot of climactic battles and final confrontations #This SE is about that sort of uncomfortable feeling of a transitional period in your life #And not one you even had control over #Sometimes when things get better it can taste so... metallic. Bitter. It makes you wonder #If it was going to get better all along #Why didn't it happen any fucking *sooner*?#And yes things are better. But why not the things you WANT to change.

think i found a fake georgia o'keeffe painting lol

#this has been an original post #personal spewage #like. not a real painting someone is trying to pass off as a georgia o'keeffe #just. an image online that is being credited as by her #but not only do i suspect it's not. i don't even know where it _is_ from #like i think it might've been created just to be attributed to her? or something?#like this might be one of those things where it made the leap from physical sources to digital and lost its citations along the way or w/e #but uhhhh. i don't think so #the earliest reference to it i could find was in 2007 on a random art history site (not affiliated w any actual organization/museum/etc)#after that it's all. freaking. pinterest/instagram/tumblr #anyway i emailed the georgia o'keeffe museum abt it. hopefully they get back to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#this matters to me okay! i love her work!#i hate that when everyone sees one of her pieces all they think is “hur dur that looks like a vag”#a) that was not her intention and b) jesus christ can you think with something other than your reproductive organs for five fucking minutes #yes some things in nature are going to look phallic and/or yonic #you can have a good chuckle over it but then _move on_#not everything is about sex/sexuality/the human body #sometimes ppl just want to paint pretty flowers #-sigh-#anyway #that's been my crusade today

“Kill the part of you that—”

I 100% understand the sentiment, but what if we would have an easier time talking down “the part of us that.” What if we tire of violence against the self?

#not meant to be a serious post! or an indictment of anybody!#just like. it is very funny and surreal reading “kill the part of you that” statements while plural #like yeah friend. we tried to kill “the part of us that” before. didn't work out so well. she kept clawing her way out of the shallow grave #worked out a lot better to ask “the part of us that” why she was Like That anyway #and unravel the kinda fucked up unresolved-shit logic she was still working off of #and now that the world isn't all pain for her all the time we can get along and share a fresca and a video essay sometimes #every relationship takes work and that includes relationships with yourself #YES we are absolutely including singlets in this y'all have a relationship with your sense of self too even if it's more continuous than us #anyway you can keep using the “kill the part of you that” statements #it's just metaphorical for most people and i'm out here just having funny thoughts over a bowl of cheese bread and hashbrown casserole

Rex: What have I ever done to you, Kenobi? Obi-Wan: you left me unconscious on Vader's couch Rex: touche

Rex: but ok hear me out I wasn’t doing that TO you I was doing that FOR Vader…..it’s different

Obi-Wan: different doesn’t mean BETTER holy SHIT

#asks #playmaker au #I figure Ahsoka and obiwan arennever gonna get along #Rex can be his frenemy - they’re probably friends but sometimes obi-wan remembers this is all Rex’s fault #so in the middle of family dinner he’s like ‘Rex did I ever tell you that I decided I was going to fuck you the moment I laid eyes on you’#cue Vader freezing and breaking his plate or something #and Rex painfully being like ‘yes. you have. many times.’#and obi-wan is like oh 😇 I must have forgotten 🤭 so sorry 🥰

#hffjfhfhhhhghgh #sometimes you think you’re over a guy but then you have a normal conversation with him like a normal person and proceed to think about it #for the next ten hours #my silly little INFP brain is being insufferable about this #like seriously I don’t want to date a guy who curses like a sailor I don’t #but we just get along so well together? he was homeschooled like me? he’s an lotr fanatic (as in he’s read the books)? he has OPINIONS #about little women? he’s an agatha christie fan?? he had reasonable things to say in biblical studies a couple years ago (which is more #than I can say for 95 percent of the people in that class)?#but I mean it doesn’t matter we’ve known each other for nearly three years and I can’t tell that he’s ever had that kind of interest in me #(granted I am a TERRIBLE judge)#fun fact though he is the guy who read a story I wrote freshman year and read a romance scene and exclaimed ‘that’s it! that’s what love is #supposed to be!’#I mean how was I SUPPOSED to react #if nothing else he’s definitely one of Anne’s kindred spirits and I think I can live with that #anyway sorry feel free to ignore I just needed to ramble #I drove for like three hours today and it was just swirling around in my head the whole time #will probably delete later because there are a couple people who follow me who know me irl and would probably know exactly what I’m talking #about. they’re not super active though so #(and yes this is Alcott boy. although hilariously before I knew his name I called him Agatha Christie boy)#on a lighter note I may have convinced him to watch otgw because it has Elijah wood in it lol

me, encountering a photoshoot of or interview with an actor who plays a fictional character I am Not Normal about, out of costume and character and living their life as an actor, unexpectedly and abruptly reminding me that the fictional character does not in fact exist or have a life or interiority and is in fact portrayed by a Real Fucking Person who does exist and has thoughts and goals and dreams and a whole life entirely unrelated to that nonexistent fictional character, and could hypothetically stumble across my Being Not Normal On The Internet about one of many characters they pretended to be in exchange for a paycheque: ah lads not again

#yes I am aware that some actors do get as attached to (some of) their characters and flesh them out the same way I might #but also like. how fucking weird must it be to just be doing a job for a paycheque #a job you probably like! but still a job. and like. a role you have no particular attachment to you're just reading the lines they gave you #and some rando comes along with all these like. ~deep insights into the psyche of~ this made-up guy with your face #and all of those ~deep insights~ are equally made up #anyway I Know know that it's all just an elaborate game of pretend but sometimes. sometimes the real world intrudes unexpectedly #and sometimes you find out the actor's been reading fanfiction of his character smoochin' with another character #and could hypothetically have stumbled across your fervent and slightly feverish treatise on how that character likes to fuck #there is. a reason why we don't tell the people involved in making the canon about the fanfiction lol #to be clear. this dose of reality is not a bad thing. just makes it. extremely fuckin weird to think about the character for a bit.#yes i Know the character is not real and the actor is not the character. at all times.#but the reminder that the actor and I share a reality and they could hypothetically see me caring WAY too much about something they made?#unconscionable. when I am vampire witch queen of the universe actors will have to live in a pocket dimension where they can't get internet.#and can live their lives in blissful ignorance of the weird shit I want to write about nonexistent people who have their faces.

If I gotta come across more mischaracterization of Soundwave +/or the cassettes I'm gonna lose my shit

#theres a level of respect yes but not fuckin parental/child bullshit #Soundwave as the dad is funny for the bit SOMETIMES but god #he is their boss. he gives them orders. theres nothing familial #found family is a rough sketch of a thing #you throw a bunch of people together who are with eachother constantly theyre going to eventually bond and get along enough to work together #they can care for eachother and have shown to care for an extent #but yeesh #they're individuals #all of them #Rumble Frenzy Ravage the birds Soundwave himself even.#a lot of these words are incoherently thrown together but i gotta sleep for work.#rambling hours

head in my fucking hands I wanna write a stranger things infinity train au so badly

#scarf.txt #personal #to anyone curious: it would be Steve and Max centric #and would take place sometime mid-season one #they both get on the train from Hawkins and California and meet that way #and yes: the upside down would still exist (reasoning is that it’s funny)#Steve Harrington disappears from Hawkins and is presumed dead by the main cast #only for him to magically return home months later with a new little sister in tow #then I suppose the rest of canon would play out as usual except that when Lucas clues Max in on the UD she’s the one who suggests #they include Steve with them bc ‘he can help us fight the monsters.’ ‘how do you know that’ ‘just trust me’#it wouldn’t be until after the events of s2 that they’d fill in the kids on what happened on the train #bc fighting monsters together in real life makes them think it wouldn’t be that hard to believe anyway. plus the kids started to get #suspicious of the two of them talking about it and comparing it to the upside down #max: we’re just doing the same thing you guys do with d&d!#dustin: uh no you’re not because if it Was like d&d then that’d mean Steve was good at playing along with hypotheticals and he’s Not #anyway hgrjfjdjcjsbf. got carried away in the tags. weeps.#society if I could make this real and something that exists

If your gastroenterologist says you have to take laxatives for the rest of your life because you’re chronically constipated then it’s not an eating disorder thing right

#she said two scoops of miralax and a cup of kefir before bed #y’all this pain I’ve been having since I was like 20 has been CONSTIPATION all along #like my intestines just aren’t great at pushing my poop out or some shit idk #and I was like okay but sometimes it lasts for a week and gets so bad I almost go to the ER #and she said yes sometimes it can be as painful as childbirth #I’m like BITCH WHAT #so catch me faithfully drinking my miralax and kefir every night #personal #Alice is chronically constipated #also this is unrelated to my ED #it started before I had an ED #but now it makes me wonder hmmm could it be another sign of ehlers danlos

NaruSaku?

#LISTEN #i ship it both romantically and platonically bc either work #we dont talk enough abt how sakura was willing to KILL sasuke. not just move on. to KILL sasuke just for naruto to not be SAD #like naruto's life isnt even at threat. him being in emotional pain is so unbearable to sakura that she's willing to kill her #childhood friend/crush and it says a LOT abt how much naruto means to her #naruto was willing to die for her in the chuunin exams. they were 12!!! they were 12!!!#yes she made fun of him for being an orphan Once but who didnt say smth dumb as a kid #she still wanted to give up during the chunnin exam JUST bc she didnt want naruto's dream to be crushed #she believed in him already #they also get along pretty great like they have similar personalities and interests #but the fandom can be annoying sometimes esp bc of ship wars #also sakura's continued obsession with sasuke kind of annoys me so #the vibes are great tho #narusaku #diasporanmadara

As Bev said though and is also on my mind. JR and my s/i Getting Along. The wresting thing was so good. Imagine you're trying to tell JR something, and you walk in on him fighting his guarddog the main security personnel and you swear that the personnel is GROWLING but JR is laughing like it's nothing. And when he sees you walk in, the security guy just shifts immediately, somehow signals to JR who is like "Oh! Hi!"

#s/i: inside job #He is growling bc of like play fighting. JR has known my s/i long enough he can pick out on what is a real growl and what isn't #I love this. YES my s/i emotes more wolf like but he can and does laugh likw a hyena sometimes. He exists #JR and my s/i still don't get along as well as they used to but it's just bickering but my s/i is very good at his job even though he doesn #t wsnt it...#they r friends but estranged you know?
