#MAYBE CORNY BUT FUCK IT

[fraternum-momentum]

maaaan this is why i just stick to smut and horror or some shit bc romance stuff just makes me miss the times when i had my crushes,,,,, i would always try to say hello to them during class and my heart would beat so fast whenever im near them. i would get so nervous and jittery whenever we would talk. then at the end of the day that one small interaction we had would be the only thing in my mind before i go to sleep. i miss the butterflies in my stomach whenever i think of them. the constant overthinking of every little thing they say to me, wondering if they like me back or not. i miss fantasizing about our future together, what it would look like to slowly grow old with them. and whenever i listen to the cheesiest love songs, their face would be in my mind. i miss being in love.

i'm drunk enough to think about nick again (not that it like, hurts to think about him anymore i think that heartbreak is solved) and godDAMMN they really buried a man alive on network television and then went the extra mile to make him get EATEN ALIVE AND then almost k*ll himself and WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE to watch this in an IMAX theater, being buried alive is the ultimate Horror Trope for me and it happened on the one character that takes the cake, that changed my life forever like there has been characters that have impacted my life that i think made me better as a person but nick stokes is on a whole nother fucking level and it all started with this episode where he gets kidnapped and buried and i distinctly remember what it was like watching it for the first time, knowing that he survives cause he obviously shows up in episodes after this one and i started watching csi with re-runs of season 4 on spike tv but also the live season 6 finale where nick was clearly okay and cracking jokes even at a scene about severed heads (god bless him) but one day spike tv showed this episode and i stomped into the living room after part 1 ended almost yelling at my dad like ARE YOU KIDDING ME HOW DOES HE SURVIVE THAT BUT HE'S NICK FUCKING STOKES SO OF COURSE HE DOES AND i've never been that close to the knife or bullet in my life but have had..............idealiziations myself and sometimes, just sometimes, i remember how he was at the end of his rope, he waited until the last fucking second like think of a fucking saw trap he would fucking dominate that because he's nick stokes and he doesn't give up, he doesn't believe in past lives cause he's just fucking trying to get through this one and he's been though so fucking much between the fucking babysitter and stalker and gunpoint and being buried alive? ok yeah just another day in the office for him, he fights like hell, he resists his own temptations, he has so much belief in his co-workers, his mentor aka former boss that they'll find him that he hangs on for almost 24 hours in this goddamn coffin designed to torture him, sure, he can stay alive with the provided fan (something that honestly this year, i've have instilled myself when i go to bed) but the fan's gonna die and can they find him before that fan runs out? not fucking likely but TV magic unbeknownst to him they DO cause otherwise lmao nick stokes woulda died in the season 5/15 finale and i probably would have stopped right there even though grissom was my fav at first NICK STOKES STOLE MY HEART and even in my darkest hours i'll think of him, as if a ghostly image of him shows up in the mirror, "i survived why can't you?" motherfucker this is mY BOY stronger than any character i've ever related to--obviously nick and i have had different lives and he's so much stronger and better than me in so many ways but i guess he's what i aspire to be (albeit with a bit less...ignorance but nick is def the type who like. learns his lesson, he matures out of old prejudices which i admire SO MUCH of him) and i don't think i could have had such a strong role model in my formative years cause i started watching csi in 7th grade cause a real forensic scientist came to our school and of course, mentioned how CSI was not real but it piqued my curiosity and it possibly sparked my interest in horror to a degree cause my first episode was a horrifically bloated body (4x02 to be exact, assume nothing nick) and as a 7th grader up until that point even though 9/11 had passed (i was in like. 4th/5th grade that point) i guess i didn't know how cruel people could be but nick showed and continues to show me that people have the capactity of enduring the worst horrors this world can inflict on a person and they can still come out on top, they can still be the hero, they can still save themselves as well as others and FUCK man i miss nick stokes

man the past few weeks sucks in terms of the sheer disappointment that comes from highly-anticipated media revealing itself to be shallow and poorly-written :/

The majority of the sex scenes in modern day Choices would be about 1000000x better if they just cut down on all the damn talking

I'm visiting my sister for the holidays, and The Wizard of Oz is on. I remember I had some old doodles of a related thing I made way back when I made this blog hopped up on 4 bottles of cold medicine at the time and had a dream of Murdoc riding his bass like a witch. Maybe someone will at least find them amusing?

... I kinda wish I was joking when I say there are a couple more of these I drew, but I don't have them saved on hand. There's some I'm still nervous about showing. Including a sona version I share with a friend (2-D in the same role just with 2 stu simps joining him instead.) I'd like to finish these someday for shits and giggles.

Sorry for the constant unfinished stuff.

okay as a big voltron fan, i’m gonna come clean about something. i didn’t get “patience yields focus.” i didn’t get it!

i don’t know what yield means.

i’ve been thinking in my head that i can understand it in the context but i’m finally admitting that i have no fucking clue.

i’ve googled it several times but that’s a made up fucking word, that cannot exist because what is the meaning? i don’t know! it’s driving me crazy because what does it mean to yield??

fucking idiot fucking language fuck

tbh ngl i want to post my person poetry on here and ik that this is the website for it ig but idk there's just this judgmental air where it's like anyone trying to write poetry it's just reduced down to "silly tiktok corny poetry that doesn't make sense yet people hype up" and it's just :/

[spikeyjo]

TaTr is real and good. <- have a whole story in its head that would NOT fucking happen in canon.

[r1caner]

Sometimes I have a moment when watching dip y pip of like Oh Phil you are so adorable I love you. And I pause the video to rewind it but before I do I look at dan and you can see in his face that he's thinking the exact same thing

why pliers

i am very lucky that the number one physical limitation i encounter in everyday life is wanting to grip something with more force than my finger strength/shape allows me to. so pliers are good for this. <- (this is the real answer) more specifically the lame answer is that i use them a lot at work, the cool sexy answer is they are good for sexual style tortures. <- (also real answers)

Me vs FF14 part... 2?

It's taken me pretty much three full days of running from cutscene to cutscene. But I've finally reached Heavensward.

And like... on some level? I'm kind of offended?

Like, a part of me genuinely wants to replay the entire game from the start "as something else" (different main-class, different race, different starting-area, whichever), because the dungeon-queuing system is actually really fun when you start to Understand it.

As in, FF14 has somehow made an MMO that has almost eliminated the feeling that it is a level-grind? Partially? It's turned the whole thing into a surprisingly comfortable level of (limited, but genuine) social interaction.

To the point where even someone who isn't obsessively grind-focused like me, can genuinely enjoy themselves. Just queuing up for dungeons, Hunting some bounties, and-...

And then FF14 has so many fucking quests that it literally chokes the life out of the gameplay.

As an example, one of their biggest dungeon-draws (bcs high rewards) is a quest that almost everyone hates playing. Because doing that dungeon means watching literally eighteen minutes of unskippable cutscenes.

And that's with them having reduced the amount of cutscenes in that dungeon, because the players complained so much about them.

Like... I'd be perfectly happy replaying the game from the start with a different character, even knowing that leveling isn't some kind of pain-free thing. But the thought of having to restart the fucking Main-Quest? Of having to spend literal days just running back-and-forth to cutscenes?

I'm currently feeling a bit burned-out as a result of the binge I went on to get here, but I'm pretty damn sure that I wouldn't replay this fucking thing even if you paid me for it.

(And, of course, Heavensward also has a Main-Quest continuation that you have to follow. And now I'm not even allowed to fly everywhere to cut down on the "running back-and-forth"-part of my complaints. Not until they arbitrarily allow me to discover flight for the new areas, by going through even more of the Main-Quest.)

(Not to mention that now I have to go back and do even more Class-quests, with their own cutscenes, in order to unlock a bunch of skills.)

(I'm very fond of the "the church is evil because it doesn't let you fuck dragons"-meme, and I'm very much seeing it. But like... come the fuck on. Why is this MMO a feature-length movie-series? Why can't I just play the game and have fun?)
