Fede Alvarez really said "Yeah but what if the Insemination and Birth themes were REALLY front and center in the Aliens movies?" huh?

#alien romulus #alien franchise #Shoutout to the guy who dies trying to electrofuck the wall vagina egg to death #and a way more terrifying take on the human-xenomorph than Alien Resurrection #also someone should probably tell Weyland-Yutani to stop fucking with xenomorphs at this point #It has not once paid off #Xenomorphs are good for rendering planets or space infrastructure uninhabitable and very little else

Mikey and Leo episode centered around Mikey wanting to push Leo and Draxum together since Leo’s the most reluctant to give Draxum any grace (for good reason!) But, thinking on the spot, Leo says he’s gotta go do something for Hueso and “just can’t hang out right now 😔” (yes, he says the emoji out loud.)

Mikey calls his bluff and now the three of them (Mikey having grabbed a weary Draxum along) go to Hueso’s to find that yes, he actually does have a job for him. Said job asks for Leo to go with Hueso to deliver multiple pizzas to this giant yokai quite a distance away, and Hueso figured it would probably go better with Leo’s help (emphasis on probably.)

Well, Mikey decides that this would be a great bonding opportunity for them and basically invites he and Draxum along. Unfortunately for Leo, Hueso doesn’t care enough to wave away more help, though he does side-eye the wanted criminal Baron Draxum coming with them. But who is he to judge? (This choice has consequences.)

The journey goes about as terribly as you’d expect, but at least the pizzas get delivered on time.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt mikey #rottmnt leo #rottmnt draxum #rottmnt hueso #listen you don’t understand #imagine mikey trying to get leo to accept draxum as a father figure only for this to push leo to purposefully turn to Hueso instead #idk I love when this accidental flaw of Mikey’s is explored and I think it meshes well with Leo’s own AND fits nicely with their dynamic #100% this ends with Leo & Hueso bonding and Mikey & Draxum bonding and Mikey & Leo bonding and even Hueso & Mikey a bit #but notably only a little Draxum & Leo - because it’s important that Leo isn’t forced to accept him imo #Leo realizing during all his denials of Draxum that oh you know who he DOES think of as family? Hueso #Draxum is trying mainly for Mikey’s sake #Hueso is too tired to care about all this family drama but is reluctantly worried about Pepino #Mikey just wants one big happy family because - that’s just easier y’know?#he tries so hard to work with everyone’s emotions that he just wants things to be easy for once #he wants love and family to be easier than it is - than has BEEN lately #gimme that heart to heart Mikey & Leo moment in this regard #by the end Leo DOES raise Draxum up a bit from ‘complete distrust’ to ‘mild side-eye’#but it’s a long ways off if he ever gets pushed into the family tier #and also #SO MUCH SLAPSTICK COMEDY and sarcastic comedy in this episode fr #and if you’re wondering-#yes they DO fight the Yokai monster they’re delivering the pizzas to #but they get paid so it’s whatever #kinda wanna attempt to copy the style of the show and make fake screenshots of this ‘episode’ ngl

having another one of my job-related crises

#where are the jobs for blokes that do fuck all. where are they!!!!!!!#i am quite literally looking for jobs where you do nothing. you do not understand how much i dont want to do anything #granted my current job has a certain amount of doing nothing in that i have the time to look for jobs where i do nothing #but i want to do even more nothing. do you understand #if i lived on my own i probably would consider some weird night shift job #but its probably better i have the routine i have living during the day like a normal person #despite the drawbacks of my cursed routine #where are those jobs i see people making tiktoks about where you do fuck all in the office and send like one email a day. id kill for that #my dream is to be paid for like. mostly sitting somewhere where i can work on my needlepoint #id even do mindless data entry. PLEASE pay me for mindless data entry i love repetitive tasks. if you let me listen to music im unstoppable #ive come across a couple data entry jobs but i think they always require a college degree #and its like oops sorry i never had the time or money for that! still dont! however i can promise you my autism is qualification enough #my dad talks about the market research jobs he used to have and how for like the entry level jobs there #there was clearly so much goof off time they were playing early computer games and shit #but there were like so much more data entry jobs that i guess are obsolete now bc of technology #and its like yes technology good but theyve destroyed an important job category: jobs where you do fuck all #whenever i have one of these crises i also check out gigs n jobs on craigslist and unfortunately everything there seems so sketchy #like every 'personal assistant' job sounds either super pervy or like im going to get serial killed #i should get paid a million dollars a year for doing nothing at all i think #anyway once again my only option is my successful director dreams. would be great if theyd actually happen #<- guy that doesnt spend enough time actually working on creative works in progress #well anyway. such is my mental state today thank you for your time

every day i struggle to make choices

#i should invest into some kind of education but cant make up my mind #mostly because options suck #i cant do trades unless my body sucks less which is sad because id love to be an electrician #cant even think about getting a pilots license cuz im not passing the med cert #i think id rather die than be a med assistant actually #working clinics at all makes me nervous tbh but probably where im headed in the short term #surgical tech would be cool but i cant do a Real program while working full-time #which is what limits most of my choices #i need to find more paid training programs i guess #if i had to pick a miserable but fulfilling job id go into education itself #but the teaching profession has always been in a downward spiral esp as of late #i dont want healthcare because i hate seeing dysfunctional glorified murder machines grinding around and around endlessly #acute care sucks id rather be in an icu for function but then im depressed because our patients are always dying #it was better as a phleb but this hospital doesnt have phleb and like i said im nervous about clinics #but i need to fucking commit to outpatient phlebotomy i think :/#the most fun ive had at a job ever #i wish i had more widely applicable skills but i cant be an emt/para even just for the training #because half of it is unpaid and the other half you pay for #and again #a job NOTORIOUS for being exhausting dangerous and traumatizing #if i was 17 again and wasnt escaping the tar pit of my mother id go for an english degree and i wouldnt even regret it #thinking about school in terms of a job i have to have forever vs for the sake of learning is so different #id like to know everything. i wanna read and write forever. and do research and have real technical skills that help people #im still riding off of the high of getting 5 ccs off of an oncology patient who desperately needed a port #they were able to run like seven tests off of it #i had to use a couple ped tubes #she only had to get poked Once and barely noticed it bc the doc team came in and im so happy i made her admission that muvh easier #labs are so miserable #checking back on the blood and seeing all of the results came through made me more pleased than anything else in the world

((I've seen a few different takes for Dareth in Movie verse so I wanted to share this one. Hes like, mid to late 20s and he works in a movie theater. Ronin is also around that age range, and he sells bags of dried mint and grass clippings to teenagers.))

#ninjago #dareth #ronin #Ronin can dramatically pull off his coat to reveal a sudden change of attire into one that does bounty hunting #He only works for Garmadon when hes getting paid to ofc. Nya has a grudge agaisnt him since he stole her motorbike once

i don't know how to be merely acquaintances when we used to be friends. or i think we used to be. i don't know how to yearn for a simple hello when you've been heaping your affection on me months ago, and i don't know how to talk to you when you won't say anything. when suddenly it's all about me. you know i have nothing to say, you know my brain is void of everything but horribleness and i cannot tell you about my day because i don't even know about my day. i cannot tell you about my day when i know you won't listen, when i know you'll apply your philosophy to my world and don't believe me when i say that everything is terrible. i don't know how to be the person you seem to think i am, or the person you want in your life. i don't know if you want anyone else in your life now that you're in love and sappy, found another recipient for your affections, leaving me empty and wounded and yearning.

you said you missed me. said it many times, while i was gone. now i'm back, have been back, and i wonder how you missed me, why you missed me, when you won't talk to me. i think you mistook missing for worrying. i think you mistook caring for a feeling of obligation. i think you like missing me more than talking to me.

and i think i can't breathe with how much that hurts

#how do you miss me when you won't talk to me? how do you like me so much and then go to just. not?#how did i let you in when i try so hard not to let people do that because i know that once they get past the walls all i'll be left with #is the idea of them rotting and withering inside me. polluting the space i create to keep myself safe.#why does everyone leave? leave in silence too. leaving behind so many questions and so many words engraved in my brain #i am so tired of *grieving* when those i grieve are still alive and well and thriving and i'm reminded that it's versions of myself #that i'm grieving instead. how do you grieve yourself? how do you not fucking fall apart over it?#just. fucking talk to me. don't make it be true that all i'll ever be is nothingness and the memory of someone you liked once #but never never never liked enough #i'm so so cold already. i'm a shell. i want to be warm again but it always leaves me so hollow and hurting #i grieve the dio who was warm. i grieve them i miss them i am so so angry that he had to leave. to hide. with no way out #i'm happy for you. i'm happy you're happy. but you're no better than anyone else and it makes me want to run away again #but i have nowhere else to run and no one else to be. and it's so fucked that it doesn't matter who i am i'll never be enough #for someone to just. stay. to see me and to stay. to hear me and to sit and listen and just. just fucking stay.#maybe i'm not worth staying for. maybe there's nothing to know nothing to hear nothing to see nothing to listen to nothing to find #maybe all i'll ever get is one/two good months paid for with a lifetime of grief. and i'm at the point where i don't want the good months #anymore with you or anyone else who tears down these walls with affection that is so endlessly addictive and leaves me yearning.#on the off chance that it will keep the grief away too. but that's the thing about grief isn't it? it's here to stay. unlike you #god this is so fucked up and i'll delete this later but for now i just need to. let it out. poe said i should make a side blog for the grie #but poe's not there anymore. poe has stopped starting fires. so this goes on main until shame makes me take it down #blah #personal #not st

I’m becoming who I’m meant to be, slowly.

I’m inhabiting my body as a home as I make it such that it is a home for me.

💖😌✨

Also it’s a lovely studio! Masks required, hepa filters running, quiet area, but still near a bus route, was quiet once some of the people left (my artist was also super surprised that all of the tables were in use when they arrived at the shop too!!) and even though we didn’t chat (they put in their faq basically that they often forget to chat so bring headphones or whatever to do while they work) it wasn’t awkward or anything. It felt like such a safe space and I adore it so much :) (and it’s more local to get to than the other one that I’m definitely also going to go back to too at some point hopefully this year) (yay local queer owned covid cautious studios!!!!!)

#shatters’ tattoos #shatters’ fragments #ok time to eat something else #bc it’s been a while since my last meal even if I took breaks while tattoo #had a juice box for the first break before we drew the plant in there #and then before we did my leg while they were printing out the design I had a granola bar and water #and then afterwards I had a chocolate bar and another juice box and water #and then for the buses home I just had some water between buses but considered if I wanted a fourth juice box today but I didn’t really #but now I’m a bit hungry #today was fucking WEIRD at first #like popping in real quick to work?!?#class!! which I’m actually SUPER EXCITED for and about its great so far #and then walked around with a classmate who’s probably now my friend and popped into a bookstore #but it was super hot by then too #so I went off to get close to the studio #and had sushi in the shade of the parking lot before walking over #and trying to like. drink water and stay hydrated before going in #was definitely intimidated by how many people were in the shop at first #they said that it was highly unusual for all chairs/tables to be in use at once #(and they own the place!!)#but it’s such a lovely and welcoming space tbh #I’ve been to the studio once before for a market #but this is the first time I’ve been while it’s set up as a tattoo studio (it’s usual use)#and it’s just so good 💖#truly made my day really nice at the end #finally got to cool down quite a bit once I was sitting still and then laying down for the tattoos #(…actually I’m a little annoyed I paid $9 for coffee this morning actually but alas anyway)#and it was just. SO NICE #similar vibes but like cozier than the other shop I go to #it has less tables and its more private and accessibility is a huge thing there

a fucking MITZVAH out of nowhere!!!!!!!

a dear friend’s parents are offering to give us 3K to get the car repaired. fucking. a big pile of money fell into our laps. oh my gods. because they have more than they need and they are happy to share it, because to do is a mitzvah, a good deed, and they’re the kind of people who like to help.

i’m fucking crying i was telling husbeast earlier that unless a big pile of money fell into our laps we were SOL, and then….a big pile of money fell into our laps.

Khaire Hermes, Friend of Man!!!!!!

#it’s not perfect but it will more than do!!!!!#now hopefully the car you know…can be repaired #it’s over 20 years old and in VERY bad shape #it’s a pt cruiser and we have sunk enough fucking money into this thing to buy an actually halfway decent car #if it takes the whole 3K to repair it that will be like 9k sunk into this stupid thing #but we’ve never had that 9k all at ONCE to be able to buy a better car #a lot of it has had to be borrowed and paid back over time #yes yes a car loan but hey guess what!! poor people don’t usually have credit scores good enough for that #or if we do we get predatory loans that are literally impossible to pay off #so #nah #i am honestly hoping the mechanic says the thing is dead and we need a new car and they give us 3K to just buy a different car #hopefully one that isn’t made entirely of rust and garbage #seriously do not ever buy a pt cruiser they are the WORST

me and the generic extra strong Tylenol and the pure rage in my system

#Every once in a while I think. It’s not too bad home. I’m over dramatic. It’s not bad and it won’t be bad when I go home and never been bad #Then actually think and remember #I shouldn’t have been hit as a small child. I thank god that my parents stopped that with me.#But also. I should have been taken seriously when I went To them with concerns and shouldn’t have been brushed off.#But also to be a 14 something year old and to realize your parents aren’t in love is a crushing feeling #Since that must have been when. 13-14. Appa passed. Pandemic times. I’m sure my father. Since this would have been the last time I saw Appa #We went down to visit. Dad didn’t go he had work. He sent us off. I remember sitting in the passenger seat by mom in driver #Dad praying for our safe travel and for him going in for a kiss and the moment of hesitation and unwant from my mother #And the awkward silence and the way everything seemed to just shift to the side #That was summer of 2019. My first time realizing my parents weren’t both in love happened when I was 13-14.#I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.#And going to college has me feeling so guilty. Like I fucking ditched my siblings? The kids I raised as a child myself?#(I had to go. I don’t know if my scholarship would have held I don’t know if my financial aid would have held. I couldn’t have waited. )#(I would have likely done something bad to myself. Genuinely. If I weren’t able to be here. If I had to stay. I wouldn’t survive that.)#my siblings are fine. They have no responsibilities. My sister is manipulative. They will manage. They want me to get the education I need #They aren’t going to have to use their own college money to pay to be able to eat because the parents won’t feed them for the summer #I went into college with at least a couple hundred less than I should have. Because I had to parent. I had to feed my siblings.#And I had to pay to fill the gas tank on my father’s gas eater truck. We couldn’t be home because of the selling home situation.#I had to do something to get us out and to feed us but I didn’t get paid back for anywhere near all of it #I don’t regret it. But a kid shouldn’t have to pay for them and their siblings to live.#But then I remember the dread I have for returning ��home’ for the breaks. I don’t know what I’m going to do.#If I can’t work all of the breaks then I either won’t be able to pay next semester #Or I’ll have almost no money in savings. Like nothing to my name. Can’t buy gas. Can’t do anything. Can’t buy food.#Unless the next scholarship stuff I’m doing pulls through. But I’m willing to work the whole break just to get away from either house.#I want to violently shake my parents and get them to comprehend #Father you have dropped 260$ into my bank account in the last two weeks. Why could this not be earlier in the semester.#Why couldn’t that be in the time and fashion you FUCKING PROMISED for helping me pay my schooling?#You have money to spare. Stupid. Why couldn’t you help like you promised.#Mom you fucker. I get that you are kinda with a new man now. But you’re leading yourself into a relationship with a man you said yourself #You don’t want to date because he wants to move away with his sister and because he hates it here

I desperately want to start playing trumpet again I literally can't stop thinking about it

#i own a very very very shitty trumpet but its in storage in the back house (we have 2 trailers combined by a scary room) and is going to #take tremendous effort to get to. i eitber have to break into the back door that has no stair case #or move all of the furniture in the living room to unblock the door into the scary room #and I'll also have to use a flashlight the entire time because the electricity is turned off back there #and also idk if the trumpet is even still good its been in storage for 10 years ya know #did i mention its super shitty and i paid $100 for it like 12 years ago #my other option is to save up my game money for probably 6 months and buy a second hand on off Facebook marketplace #because i am unemployed and while my sister does pay our bills and i get food stamps #i don't get money for fun stuff ever. i just don't think my sister thinks about it which makes me sad #at least once a month she gets a silly little package of stuff she buys for herself to make her happy #i don't. and i don't want her to feel bad about it because she deserves nice things but like i get sad because i can't but thinga #the last time i bought something unimportant was cannabis seeds that she wanted me to get #because she prefers smoking to taking edibles #before that my mom gave me $50 for my birthday and i still could only bring myself to spend $40 at the craft store #i used the other $10 for cat food that we didn't even actually need at the time #because i feel guilty asking for anything let alone stuff that isn't a necessity

Vi would be a nightmare to play cards with, especially if it's gambling enough to put money on the table, because even if she doesn't actually know how to play the game she'd absolutely be the exact sort of personality to abrade everyone at the table, get them mad enough that they'll start making stupid strategic decisions and staying in way longer than they should in order to prove her wrong. To this end we think that Vi has been hired at least once to show up at a casino and piss someone off at the blackjack table until they try to beat her ass and get kicked out.

#we speak #bug fables #she is a professional annoyance. you can pay her to do it.#she won the casino fight and also gets kicked out but its worth it she got paid like two hundred berries #we arent sure if she would be good at like. the base game. but she could very much make it fun for herself by pissing off everyone else #she has also been hired like once to make an excuse to kick a customer out. works like a charm. she steals their wallet on the way out.

hyping myself up by thinking of ryou praising me every time i finish a contract in phasmo

#I’M A WIMP SHUT UP #finally started actually playing the game and identifying ghosts just in very miniscule amounts #staying in amateur until i get the hang of it because every single time a hunt starts i instinctively crouch into a corner lol #like the closets and lockers exist for a reason rainy!!#i’ve done three rounds so far and only died once to a hantu so >_< i consider myself to be doing better than expected #keep imagining ryou there critiquing me so i can do better and be less afraid of it lol #god i’m dating the occult freak(s) and yet i start shaking in place upon an event happening #passes the mouse over to ryou all YOU TAKE CARE OF IT!! and then he makes fun of me. like the meanie he is #i’m kidding hems a sweetheart but he does get on me about chickening out agsjdhsj </3 #anyway i’m having fun!! binging lk’s streams of this game has paid off lol #spookyshipping #(our tag literally has to do with ghosts!! how could i fail so bad there!!!)

nate please please please please I am shaking you by the shoulders right now no one needs to do this please you can make a actual thought provoking interesting thumbnail for the song you don't need to appeal to clickbait algorithms anymore you're still letting yourself be bound to it people loved your early original songs for what they were without this. please stop doing this please stop changing thumbnails I am going to cry

#literally has done this to multiple thumbnails that were even perfectly okay before #I mean the original for this one wasn't all that good either but this is far worse #massive disappointment when I saw with you change it's so. boring and predictable I have seen it plenty of times before #literal opposite of what he was going for #not to mention SCRAP HEAP DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE SONG TITLE ANYWHERE EXCEPT THE VIDEO ITSELF #nothing left to want became boring too though at least STILL INCLUDED THE TITLE IN IT #does he realize that. THIS is probably just damaging his content further?#I mean he can do whatever he wants and if he's happy with it then fine by me #but do you SEE the traction and views sandcastle kingdoms and paid in exposure got? besides his fnaf songs and parodies #he's ALSO known for phantom! an original song! and I hate that his rebranding of it as a hazbin hotel song actually worked!#because it's not going to continue to!#like dude we all know a lesson in grief has nothing to do with sonic. none of the lyrics tie into anything sonic related whatsoever #ik he's trying to get his stuff out there via the things he was once known for but maybe..... it's time to FULLY let go of that?#bc it's embarrassing to watch and it doesn't feel all that passionate. though he's dropped fandom music he's still very much bound to it #and ADMITS it #please you can make original and thought provoking art! without ties to fandom! idk what you did with your first two original albums #but it wasn't this and you should do it again #I swear nate people love your music for what it is and even though to let go was not my favorite #you still have potential far past what the algorithm is doing to you. none of this is genuine and it's very much present #in how you promote your music. I feel it when I see these thumbnails. I feel it when I watch these videos. it PUTS ME OFF so much #sorry for the rant in the tags and sorry if this is a hot take I hope y'all can see where I'm coming from 👍#natewantstobattle #nwtb #nathan sharp #nate posting #natewantstobtl
