#FUCK THE END OF THE WORLD

[seemingly-random-rants]

Stg if my mom doesn't shut up about the fucking revelation days...

She is ALWAYS asking me why I'm so upset all the time... Then turns around and starts talking about "have you read the book of revelations yet? I swear it's what's going on with the world right now... Baby why are you crying?"

Let me think...

1) you just told me that the world is going to end very fucking soon no matter what I fucking do

2) you invalidate me because getting to the point of my thoughts is like restoring a pool after a cat10 hurricane and you don't even have any patience for me to skim through the minor shit so you just go "alright alright alright"

3) I HAVE ABSOLUTELY ZERO POWER OVER THE SHIT YOU KEEP TELLING ME YET YOU TALK TO ME LIKE I CAN FIX IT AND GET FREAK OUT WHEN I GET OVERWHELMED WITH IT

4) WHY SHOULD I SHOW ANY INTEREST IN ANYTHING YOU'RE SHOWING ME IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO TELL ME ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD SOME FUCKING MORE???

No I DON'T remember ever reading Revelations... Nor do I want to! I'M NOT ABOUT TO READ IT EITHER!! I HAVE ENOUGH FUCKING ANXIETY WITHOUT HAVING TO TRACK THE END OF THE GODDAM WORLD SHUT UP ABOUT IT JUST FUCKING SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP please don't talk about it anymore 😭 I didn't come home to you for this... I want my mom back just fucking shut the fuck up about the Bible and revelation days... We've already been to hell now shut up about it please I don't want to remember the trauma and I don't want to think about what's going to fuck us over in the future I don't want to know!!

so in an attempt to actually use positive thinking, anytime i fuck up and my brain reacts as if ive cause a minor apocalyptic event, i compare my fuck up to the 4 minute fuck up committed by the crew of the uss william d porter.

and only today, as i was having to explain what happened to my mom when i was explaining the whole comparison thing, did i realise that most people dont know about it and ive decided that needs to change because its objectively hilarious.

...which is a weird thing to say about an event that occured on a warship in 1943, specifically november 14th.

see the uss william d porter was a fletcher-class destroyer but you dont need to know what that means, just that she had guns that went bang bang and that she was escorting another ship, the uss iowa, to cairo.

while they were on their way there, they performed some gun trials like testing the anti-aircraft guns or the torpedos. and while they were running a torpedo drill, the crew of the porter managed to fire a live torpedo straight at the iowa which you know, in terms of a list of things to do while escorting a ship, shooting a torpedo at them is not on that list.

especially if the president of the united states is on board.

yeah so fdr was on board and the gun trials were actually his idea, and part of the trials was that they were conducted under radio silence.

and that means the crew of the porter couldnt just call the iowa to be like "move out the way, we accidentally shot a torpedo at you."

but they did have signal lamps and you know, the signalman on board was trained to signal this exact kind of message.

...and uh never mind, the signalman did manage to successfully tell the iowa that a torpedo was coming toward them but wasnt as successful when it came to the direction the torpedo was coming from.

not all hope is lost though because the signalman could still use the signal lamp to correct his previous mistake and-, never mind, he announced that the porter was reversing, which she wasnt.

yeah so at catastrophic mistake number 3, they broke radio silence to warn the iowa and she managed to turn out of the way just in time which meant no one got hurt. and even though the inquiry into the incident led to chief torpedoman (fantastic job title btw) lawton dawson being sentences to hard labour, fdr intervened and waved away his sentence, saying it was all an accident.

but yeah, so thats my new measure for "how much did i really fuck up?" and when i compared accidentally picking up a pencil case without a tag on it in wilko, turns out it was a very minor fuck-up. yes, the cashier had to ask another worker to grab a duplicate so they could scan the barcode, but i didnt nearly kill the president during wartime via accidental friendly fire

"If I must die, then we will die together" - 2012 Splinter pretty much.

Yo, fuck this version of Shredder specifically, like jesus fucking crispies dude wtf. Can someone analyze this man or something he's scaring me.

Bro said "and I took that personally" when splints wanted to care for his daughter and live in peace with his family, gyad damn.

WHY DOES HE HAVE ALL THOSE PHOTOS--

I actually hate this man- I must have more. I am curious

[mourning-at-night]

jace i don’t feel good was so funny but also made me so sad. like that’s a teenager with a strawberry squishmallow keychain and a tamagotchi and she doesn’t feel good and she's tugging on a teacher’s sleeve about it. a teacher who should have been responsible for protecting her in the first place and didn’t. who is manipulating and using her and her friends to help fulfill the desires of a wrathful power-hungry egomaniac. porter and jace it’s on sight >:(

Journalism has a vital role in shedding light on what entities like Israel want to keep in the dark.

Israel killed over 100 journalists in 10 weeks.

ALL THROUGHOUT SCHOOL, everyone would pick at me relentlessly and then have the FUCKING NERVE to ask if I had a crush on anyone at school...

BITCH!! You won't even let me have any fucking self esteem and you DARE to ask if I like any of you guys?!?

WHY SHOULD I LIKE ANYBODY WHO WON'T EVEN LET ME LIKE MYSELF???

Now I'm here... Zero self esteem... Sick of people... Don't even want to leave home for anything anymore but I don't have any goddam choice because now I have to go to work and make sandwiches for people who have no idea who I really am and at this point I don't know who the fuck I am anymore and it's killing me

My less popular opinion (and what I believe to be implied by the art in Lost Days) is that rather than waking up in a fully grown body Jason didn’t actually complete his puberty until after his Lazarus pit dip while he was on his murder tour. Imagine you’re tied up in a basement in Berlin getting interrogated by a teenager and his voice is cracking the entire time and if you laugh he’s going to shoot you

starting off with an amuse-bouche of some of my initial favorite bits! y'all, this update was WILD.

[romatito]

ive only had these two on my mind recently .

[hellishfig]

for the amount of time i spend thinking about erika ishii, i do not post about them NEARLY enough

everything i've ever seen them in, they have been fully dialed in. they understand the genre, they understand the character they're playing, and they NEVER. FUCKING. MISS

my current dnd character is actually based on multiple characters of erika's that i enjoy. my character is a witch (like ame of worlds beyond number fame [thank you to the witch class playtest]) but she is also a brewer who grows weed and shrooms, and deals them, and does them (and her personality is very much modeled off of danielle barkstock in dimension 20's the seven)

i feel that many of my favorite moments from erika are often focused on other characters. but many of those character moments would not have been possible without erika's incredible roleplay and sense for storytelling

and when the moment IS focused on erika's character? spellbinding. groundbreaking. from ame talking to orima in the overgrown shrine to danielle getting a nat 20 at the masquerade ball, i always fall into the scene and feel it so deeply due to erika's skill and poise and commitment to the story being told

tldr i think erika ishii is incredibly talented and wonderful
