Ehm... Sorry to bother, but... Could we, maybe, possibly... see Vasco's wife and her lover pictured by your hand? Sorry again, thank you for listening. Take care.

Unfortunately I don't have her lover figured out yet, but I think Ludovica looks something like this:

RE people and wildlife, I so completely agree, there’s just no ability to conceptualize the world as that animal experiences it. I get this all the time at work, people hollering at my animals wanting them to respond in some way, and it’s just baffling to me, do you feel entitled to this animal’s attention while they’re just trying to live their life and you’re the hundredth stranger to shout at them that day because you bought a ticket? Do you want to feed a fawn at the risk of its life because you want to feel special? It just reads as so immature, so short sighted, like nebulous cries for animals needing “freedom,” a concept they straight up cannot engage with, this creature does not experience the world in the same way that you do, and that’s not threatening or sad, it’s incredible and fascinating!!!

i'm so sorry your daily life is a famous dril tweet

Today I found out that some people will read through ppl's blog before reblogging their posts. Meanwhile I don't even read the usernames on posts, lmao.

You could tell me I've been reblogging shit from someone called "stonefreeak-sucks" and I'd probably believe you because I certainly have no idea.

anyways it’s funny that i say i prefer stories that work with themes on a bigger scale meanwhile my favorite piece of fiction in the entire world is nana by ai yazawa, which is so deeply embedded in its characters perspectives that it almost becomes apolitical. like i don’t know if ai yazawa fully realizes that nana k is a csa victim or that ren manipulates nana o with sex or that shin & reira’s relationship is unhealthy. she might or she might not.. it doesn’t matter what she thinks because she’s just fully uninterested in passing judgement on these things, instead focusing on portraying them and the characters’ experiences extremely authentically & leaving the viewer to interpret what it is and what it means. which counterintuitively makes them more compelling to me (the themes enjoyer…) only because she’s so fucking good at doing that. truly i have seen some very well-written characters but i have never seen anything like the characters in nana……..

Every few years the tumblr queer community decides that we clearly don't have enough problems as is with real bigots, and they pick a sub-category of other queer people to convince us that "actually these are the True Oppressors, Guys, I Promise, they're too loud and privileged and stealing our rights as we speak!" while also mostly using recycled terf rhetoric but Woke This Time to support these accusations. At some point it was bi people (especially bi sapphics), then ace and aro people. Now it seems it's the turn of trans men & transmasc people in general.

And of course, if you as a member of the targeted demographic try to speak up, you're labelled as proof of the accusations. "See? They're loud and annoying and are oppressing us by not letting us target them, instead of shutting up and taking it like good little victims!".

And I, for one, I'm not having it.

ANYWAY i had to change the expected chapter number on Convenient to "?" because I realised that the ending I already had was way too rushed and that if I've built up the "oh no, Trouble lies ahead!" anxiety of the characters to such a degree then I need to make sure enough Trouble does indeed lie ahead and it's not all just fixed in a single scene. damn it, i need to drag this shit out a bit! i need to milk the drama! someone needs to get chained up (in a dungeon, non-sexually) at the very least!

now i need to think of another solution to it all, which i can definitely do and i am not in any way worried about it and i am confident in my own ability to resolve a plot without murdering thor again and don't worry it'll be fine...

This may be a controversial opinion, but fuck it. If you are going hungry and think you can get away with it, then steal food from large corporations like Walmart.

Don't feel bad about it either.

These large corporations will whine and moan about how much they lose to shoplifting and that they are losing X amount of money from theft and that they may go out of business, but what they don't want to say in the same sentence is how much they make in profits because they know that if they do then everyone will realize the amount of bullshit coming out of their mouths. These corporations may lose $600 million a year from theft, but they make a little over $147.5 billion a year. (These numbers come from the Walmart statistics from the last year alone) To put that into perspective. Their total profits in one year alone is 24.5 MILLION percent more than what they lost. So for every $1 lost that $24.5 million in the bank.

Keep in mind these are the same corporations that regularly overwork and underpay abused (and more often than not underaged) employees. Also know that these employees are usually told by lower management that if they see someone stealing food or items under $20 to just act like they didn’t see it. Now this is only true for places like Walmart. Ffs DON’T steal from target unless you are god level sneaky because they are on top of that shit.

So if you need it, then do it. If you are starving and need food, if you are cold and need a jacket, then don’t feel bad about doing what you need to do in order to survive. Just don’t get caught. And DON’T steal from small businesses.

Always keep in mind that small business owners are often in the same boat as you and are just trying to make it just like you are. They can’t always afford to lose revenue while large companies can.

Also here are some tips from someone who grew up lower/middle class and has always needed to steal to survive:

Never bring an ID or anything that can ID you.

Always keep some cash on you for credible deniability. “No I wasn’t going to steal see I have the money right here!” If you play your cards right and keep your cool then you can usually talk your way out of any situation.

If you can always purchase something while you’re there to avoid suspicion PAY IN CASH IN CASE YOU ARE CAUGHT STEALING ON CAMERA

Wear large clothes with lots of big pockets aka go to the men’s section and get a hoodie and some sweats at least 2 sizes too big. (Tho I’ve personally found 3 is the magic number just make sure for the pants that you can tighten the waist somehow so they stay on) You’ll need the pockets to put the stuff in and the bagginess of the clothes will hide anything you put inside. Make sure the clothes are dark so they don’t stand out and so it hides the shadows of the items better.

Stashing in your pockets can also be used as credible deniability if you don’t use a cart or basket. “I wasn’t intending on getting so many things I just came in for a few items so I didn’t think I needed a cart or basket but then I ran out of hands so I put them in my pockets.”

Always try to make sure no one is around when you stash the items but DON’T make it obvious. Check your surroundings before you even reach for the item.

If it’s small and it’s in a shelf, pretend to look at it (maybe even act like you’re gonna get it), shrug like you rethought it decided not the get it, reach your hand back into the shelf like you’re putting it down, slip it up your sleeve, walk away, put your hands into your pockets, and slip it into your pocket.

Use self check out if you can. If you can’t smile and be pleasant to the cashier. If you’re nice and they notice they probably won’t say anything.

Remember that the most important thing when stealing is to ACT NORMAL. 90% of getting away with it is to not even be considered in the first place. If you take something from an isle don’t immediately leave the isle. Go to another part of the isle and act like your contemplating buying something else. Treat this like a normal grocery run. You have nothing to hide so there’s no need to rush. Maybe even exchange a few pleasant greetings if you’re in a line.

And for the love of whatever cruel god is out there, do NOT steal every single thing you touch. Pick some things up and put ‘em back or buy them if you can.

oh yeah and if you see someone stealing no you don't. you have no clue what that person is going through so mind your own business.

Listen, if you can't make THE Bioshock movie but still want to make a Bioshock movie, all I saying is they're Trapped Underwater in essentially the biggest of tombs.

Work. With. That. I don't need any MC from the game, I don't even need to see a single story-important character from the game.

Put that budget into the Big Daddy, make that shit a horror film about stealth survival with a new MC, make it a small story that easily could have taken place in the game's world somewhere. Don't "adapt the game" adapt your own story based on the game that fits in universe. You don't even need to touch the lore of any of it, ya just need pieces.

Seriously you can do alot with the Bioshock universe in movie form and if you don't got the budget, then fucking earn it by making a good movie you can potentially treat as a prologue or side-story to the actual movie, and if you can't ever make the actual movie, then make a good movie regardless.

one of my favorite parts of strategy games like chess and advance wars is that feeling when you haven't quite won yet but the enemy has no real options so it feels like you're just sloowly wrapping around them like a snake. when all your enemy has is their king and you've managed to turn 3 of your pawns into queens, and all you've gotta do is get in juust the right position, and in the meantime all they can do is squirm. god, that's such a wonderful feeling. nothing quite like it
