#casey stoner#brr brr#//#i realised i had one important take about the casey/vale rivalry that isn't linked to my actual thesis about them because. listen#i think about this line like. once a week. it haunts me in my sleep. i cannot carry this burden on my own any longer#casey. casey. is it really cOVERED?? with luminous yellow?? COVERED????#i'm not massively fond of the shade of red either but i don't think valentino was involved in making it more orange#my man saw the tiniest hint of yellow and was like 'what the fuck is this'#like valentino's LEATHERS are a wee bit yellow but that's!! not!! the bike!! also casey YOU had the aussie flag on your bloody bike number#the green is also on nicky hayden's gp12 btw like it's LITERALLY JUST THE NUMBER that's yellow#YOU DON'T EVEN SEE THE SEAT WHEN HE'S SITTING ON THE GP11 CASEY IT'S A RED BIKE#i don't have a coherent point about this but it is a LITTLE fascinating! like this made it into his autobiography!!#it's such an interesting thing to even notice no? like you're thinking about their stunning blood red being contaminated?#Does He View Valentino Rossi As An Infection? this is some symbolically potent shit when u think about it#do u think all valentino's victims have like. some kind of deeply ingrained aversion to the colour yellow. pavlovian response and all that#to be clear i find this very funny and i support casey in being a bit demented about valentino. who amongst us#heretic tag

Why is it that anyone within 10 feet of us feels the need to talk to Thistle or just straight up walk up to us and start petting her???
And then completely ignores the fact that I’ve called her away and asked her to sit???
I swear this puppy is trying so hard and the general public is making it almost impossible to work on her excitement with new people
At least she just wants to say hi and isn’t scared or aggressive but like… ugh.
#and the thing is I don’t see this happening to other dogs like it does with her#is it just because she’s cute?#I really don’t understand#dogblr#australian shepherd#little miss thistle#aussie puppy#6 months

ok so the rumour that people were shouting to "gas the jews" at the australia protest. there's like footage of this. that you can watch. on the internet. of it happening
#i've seen it! I feel terrible but now i know! I know this was a thing people did.#tell me AGAIN how antisemities can see a differentiation between israel and jews as a whole and how feeling uncomfortable about this#is just the silly little jews fault. tell me#tw antisemitism#EDIT: i will not be publicly posting the video because i think it's from a more reactionary tumblr with an inflammatory title#but it very very much is real in ways that can't be fabricated and comes from a mainstream aussie source#Ask and I’ll dm you the video

[ID: A collection of black and white sketches showing everyday objects that are haunted by little creatures. These creatures fill in gaps with black space and white dots for eyes /End ID]
As some of you might’ve seen: I’m no longer posting art on Twitter, so Tumblr is now the only social media I’ll be consistently posting art to. However: I’ll also be posting it to my website and possibly other social media platforms in the future.
I also post monthly sketch pages to my Patreon (April’s is on this post) with early access for Patrons, and I’m hoping to add more things to it soon!
Thanks everyone for your support (your tags mean a lot to me!) and I’ve put more of my thoughts in the tags.
#monsters#sketch#Patreon#Putting my thoughts here rather than in a read more so people don’t have to see it a lot:#Went on a vacation at the start of July and realised I’ve been ridiculously burnt out and didn’t realise#The stress of *trying* to have something ready for social media every other day was exhausting#I’m not the fastest artist out there so it takes time! I was really pushing out quick things#not progressing as an artist since I wasn’t practicing besides trying to be faster#So I’m shifting gears more now and doing things that aren’t art as hobbies#Learnt to make my website! Want to keep developing it too and making layouts for other people#Learning auslan (Aussie sign language) and having an amazing time!#mostly getting back into education since I really love learning things#haven’t been in a class for years and it’s been a big boost to my mental health#still have financial worries but not as badly now thankfully#Anyway I’ll probably be posting less art until I figure out what works for me#though less art is better than the NONE that happens when I’m exhausted and having a bad time#Hopefully I’ll start to really enjoy the process again and start getting more ideas#(ideas are so hard to come up with!)

as for the rest of the ep…
Chalynn truthers we won. we fucking won 🍾🍾🍾
Lois trying to talk Ned into making peace w/ Michael and Drew sounds REAL funny knowing that drew and Michael r still planning on pushing him out of ELQ again. fuck those two forever actually, y’all can make peace in hell
speaking of drewfus, I wish I could be glad he’s leaving but it’s not for very long and crew is gonna be annoying abt it I’m sure. this version of drew is such a shell of himself that anytime hes brought up I just feel disgusted 😖
I’m getting tired of Sonny bringing up Carly when talking to nina it just feels WEIRD… I really don’t wanna see a Carson reunion but it’s starting to feel like the pikeman/cyrus bs might end up being the catalyst for one… sonaritas should we be worried. 😟
also Tolly agreeing to use krissy as the surrogate… wasn’t there literally a whole argument against doing this months back that resulted in tolly icing krissy out for several weeks…? once again I must assert this whole surrogate storyline is a load of barnacles
#pentababbles#general hospital#I’m happy abt the proposal :) but I also feel like they kinda did this so they could be married b4 Gregory croaks#still! taking my wins where I can! their scenes today were sweet and I liked it 👍#i know ned has beef w/ nina over the SEC thing but. once he finds out Michael knew and STILL tried to push him out of ELQ#nina should be the least of his worries. since let’s face it drew earned that prison sentence 😅 and it’s not a crime to report a crime!#the bensons r just mad they had to face even the mildest of consequences for their actions tbh#drew goin to Australia tho like. take joss and Carly w/ u I don’t wanna see them again either#have joss spend time w/ her Aussie father or something I just can’t take her anymore#also the fact that he’s leaving for Christmas so Michael doesn’t have to… bro I hate him so much#bro you just got out of PRISON how about you spend time with your DAUGHTER that you PROMISED to be there for you ASSHOLE#and with drew going away… PLEASE I don’t want a Carson retread please please please#like I find crew annoying and meaningless but at least they’re over in their own corner. but I was actually starting to like Sonny#a Carson retread is just gonna make him suck again 😞#cannot stand the surrogate storyline and tolly is nothing to me anymore but w/e I can deal with it.#however if they really are setting up the surrogate arc to be an angst backdrop for kraze… burned-lariat go get them royalty checks I stg 🤣#but yea that’s my thoughts! story feels discombobulated as ever but we soldier on iguess

Albo has defended Raygun.
#politics#well not really cause barnaby joyce also said the hate she was getting was too much but that also we get to criticize all atheletes#i don't think i'll ever learn how to spell athletes#also Tanya Plibersek defended raygun#said she would buy merch if she could#i bet cause Plibersek is the environment minister and raygun did the kangeroo#also Tanya quoted Taylor Swift#what a day in Aussie politics#basically all the aussies are backing raygun with a small amount of second hand embarrassment#did you see how raygun partied at the closing ceremony#also again anna meares has said great things about raygun#even the breaking federation is backing raygun and offering mental health support

Something I hate is that when I see people from school who go on summer m euro trips, they’ll post pictures of locals on balconies as if it’s meant to be a cool artsy but comes off looking they’re borderline zoo animals from the photographer’s perspective
#idk maybe I’m looking into things too much#but after last year and touring Europe with a bunch of Anglo Aussies#seeing the extreme levels of racism was eye opening#like Aussies have a tendency to view any non Anglo country#as either extremely exoticised#of an impoverished backwards hellhole#like I was giving tips about travelling in Greece#and this actual 22 year old woman was surprised that an island in the middle of the Aegean Sea would maybe not have the same levels#of infrastructure that urbanised area in Australia would#or expecting French or Swiss waiters to be rude and thinking they’re too scary to order from 🙄🙄

Considering my issues have gone from ‘lonely little bitch’ to ‘daddy AND mommy issues (ongoing)’ in the school’s eyes, I’m now eligible for a chaplain!
I got to meet her today and SHE’S A HUGE RPG NERD AAAAAAAA ❤️❤️❤️
#She’s still in uni so this is one of her two part-time jobs (the other is working at EB games which is an aussie video game store franchise)#But oml do you ever just spend 20 minutes having a nerdgasm with someone who knows what persona is irl#I mean she asked what my folio was about which is obviously video game centric and it devolved from there <3#She also gave me some prints for the video game stray from her car for my use and enjoyment ^^#Also she’s one of those people who shiny hunts pokemon so i WILL need to inquire about the topic :>#But yes :3 We clicked quite fast so to speak~#just pav things#OH and she got some stickers from management which she put on her water bottle#She didn’t know the little guys but I did!! It was the Symphonia boys from the remaster collector’s edition!#So I did my best explanation for them as someone who also hasn’t played symphonia but has a wife who did 😅#I thought the kratos one looked familiar from a distance so I asked to see her bottle proper and I was correct <3#I wonder if someone perhaps returned their copy 😅😅

thinking about how the class of 07 girls, especially Geneiveve, were living through with Dual Citizanship Consitutional Crisis AND the lead up to the godforsaken Postal Survey. Frankly if was there, a part of me would be happy that pauline hanson probably drowned
#class of 07#class of '07#Geneiveve tuke#i may be writing a 'aussies guide to co07' bc im a nerd and i dont want yanks to get things wrong#also the subtitles on prime are Wrong a lot#but uuuh yeah so many of those girls are queer so you know once they realised that Pauline Hanson drowned welll...#Geneiveve's a staffer or something and she must have been So Stressed about it all#Zoe hearing about the chaos of the start of the conistiutional crisis and getting no resolution?? classic you love to see it#i may write fic about it bc i probs could dig up posts from when they found barneby joyce had dual citizanship#and uuuh yeah this came up in my reseach about the timing of it all#tbf we dont know what time of year the show starts in but im guessing like early spring#bc of the weather and all that#geneiveve is a self confessed narc but she would have called Turnbull a spinless coward to his face regarding the plebicite

You know you're Australian when you dream about being violently attacked by a magpie
#just aussie things :)#it was. scary.#i did wake up as soon as it actually attacked me#but in the dream context#i was drunk#going to see if i had to move my car from my partners front yard#and instead a magpie chased me

I gotta say the tags you left on that reblog on why you followed me are by far one of the best collections of tags I've ever gotten. but you've awakened my curiosity. What was the Twitch chat that started this? What did I say???? I'M SO CURIOUS BECAUSE BOY HOWDY I'VE SAID SOME INTERESTING THINGS-
I couldn't remember exactly, so I went back and searched Discord for images I sent and apparently it was just a super tame message.
The thing that made it significant, however, was the fact that I had never heard the Diggy Diggy Hole song before this year... despite having watched minecraft youtube videos since 2012. Somehow I missed that. A month or two ago I mentioned something from a different Impulse stream about diggy diggy and my friend @bibliobasilisk forced me to watch several iterations of the song (which I'm grateful for. It's a bop. As you would know).
So anyway I sent that screenshot to her like "hey look someone in chat said this" because i thought it was hilarious and then I was like "also I recognise their name from tumblr. unrelatedly". And then she was like "ah swedish tumblr, just looked them up" and then, being half swedish myself, I got hella excited:
And then I proceeded to scroll on your tumblr for like 20 minutes before unpausing the Impulse vod to continue watching. And I've been following you ever since then.
So a combination of me recognising your name, and my friend sussing out that you're Swedish (and the fact that diggy diggy is still relatively new to me) and bam. I'm here now.
Also in looking for that screenshot, it turns out that I screenshotted a second message of yours from a different stream:
Because Hermitgang my beloved
#hermitcraft#ask#anyway i can literally never watch impulse's streams live because theyre either 2am-5am or 3am-6am in my timezone (depending on daylight#on daylight savings time) but for sweden it'd instead be 6pm-9pm or 5pm-8pm i believe? if im converting correctly#which is like. prime stream watching time#end of the day. relaxing at home#so yeah i have to settle for just watching the vods later so youll never see me in chat#unless he's doing an afternoon stream which then is like regular morning for me#and only if its a non work day for me#also i dont even get the benefit of australian time for when the aussie streams. pearl starts her streams at 11pm which is far too late#ignore the fact that its almost 1am now#i mean it did help when i scrolled through your tumblr to discover your guys were also like impulse and co#and not some of the guys i care less about#anyway. yeah thats it#also those discord messages show it hasnt even been a month lmao#its been like 27 days#bc anzac day was the tuesday and today is monday so its one less day than four weeks#wait no its still sunday night. my computer tricked me into thinking it was monday#just bc its after midnight doesnt mean its monday. monday happens tomorrow aka i need to sleep first#also i just need to actually sleep anyway. on account of the 'its after midnight rn' thing#i was about to go to bed but then i saw your ask and knew i had to answer straight away#the anon who is talking about season 7: sorry you have to wait another day for your response#non anons take priority#which is a rule ive made up just now bc this is the first time ive had an anon and a non anon at the same time lmao
