[ittybittyteddie]

Big Me: I can't wait to start working again! I'm going to be able to actually afford things. Maybe I can get a gym membership, or save up for a car, or--

Little Me in the back of my head: GET PACIS!!!

Big Me: No, I need to get adult things. I can get a credit card once I can prove income, and then--

Little Me: AND THEN GET STUFFIES TOO!!!

Big Me: I was thinking more along the lines of my own apartment with no roommates

Little Me: Right, so I can play with blocks and color and use sippies and watch fun shows and--

Big Me: N o t t h e p o i n t

In case anyone missed this.

There's some combat shown. Also, we can customize our camp and the sekiret. And my personal favorite: it looks like hit stop is back on the menu! "It really makes you feel like John Monster Hunter" - Game Reviewer

Chore Game Progress (Scene Recap: 3/3/24)

We're playing the Chore Game today and recently hit ask #20. For hitting 20 asks, I said I'd let my partner control my new Sync O, an app-controlled clitoral vibe that can be worn during sex or under clothes.

I decided it'd be best to wear it while taking out the trash (and obviously rewarding myself for doing so by smoking a joint while I'm out there). Insertion was easy, painless, and the motor of the toy sat right on my clit. I connected it to my phone, got dressed, and headed out to the back of my building.

My partner and I had some hiccups with establishing initial connection, but once we got going, things smoothed out a bit. The strength of the vibe was pretty great, even if my partner tortured me with patterned settings for a while before figuring out the steady controls within the app.

It built up and I got close several times, surprisingly. I took a seat on the arm of a leather couch that someone at my apartment complex threw out months ago and lit up a joint. As my partner controlled the toy under my clothes from another continent, I smoked and sat there, staring at my phone...pretending I wasn't totally edging in broad daylight.

Once I remembered there was a security camera pointed at me from behind, I made sure to keep it subtle. I made little movement, just enjoyed the literal ✨vibes✨. Eventually I begged him to command me to cum and once he did, I broke. I grinded down into the leather and came silently, feeling somehow naughtier for cumming only feet away from a dumpster. 🙈

I guess that's the story about the time I had a partner across the globe make me cum while I was smoking a joint by a bunch of disgusting trash while being video recorded. 🥵

every time I think about this 1925 Flight of the Heron review that @regshoe found I lose an hour off my life

[queenerdloser]

so while listening to my throwbacks playlist a while back i realized it has been literal years since i watched an episode of glee, a show so near and dear to my heart it's impossible to talk about my media literacy without talking about it. and i was mildly thinking like huh it might be fun to do a full ass rewatch with liveblogs for each ep. really dive back into it. and tonight on my drive home i was thinking well i probably won't have time to do something like that until the new year and it occurred to me that omfg glee ended in 2015. it's literally been 10 years since the end of glee (first of all: jesus christ). which brings me back to well now i HAVE to do it and i'm going to make a full ass wordpress blog to do it on.

I know tumblr hates business majors lol, but one of the things business college taught me is if I was ever the CEO of a social networking company I definitely should never personally field questions (in an increasingly fumbling and tonedeaf way) about a controversy on my public-facing account on the same social media service, to the intense scrutiny of the users of my service.

The thing that scares me about crumbl is that I would never buy from it but I think I'd still probably eat that shit if it were in front of me lol. I have a major sweet tooth I will eat anything sweet even if it's garbage (with the exception of puddings/flan stuff because the texture is too horrible to me)

My head hurts, but I watched The Wild Robot with my anthropology class and it was the best fucking thing ever

Would you guys forgive me if I said I spent 331 hours watching 163 movies this year? :33

I finished the first season of Veronica Mars! And decided to stop after a couple of episodes of season 2. Idk, I guess I got tired of the lack of closure for many plot lines. The finale was interesting tho, I loved the final villain.

Share your thoughts on the show (here's supposed to be a question mark but tumblr wouldn't let me)

Hi bestie I'm sorry it's taken me so long to talk to you about this show! I'm gonna make up for taking forever by writing like, an essay haha brace yourself

I think that Veronica Mars is a good show that runs into some classic 2000s tv stumbling blocks, manages to do some things that infuriate me personally beyond reason, but ALSO manages to have some elements that are so powerful and so well executed that I'm honestly astonished it got made. These kinda peter out and become muddled over the years, but oh well, we'll always have season one <3

In brief, the 2000s messiness, in varying degrees of offensiveness to the world and to me personally:

The aforementioned plot lines that go nowhere <3

It's case-of-the-week, some cases are gonna suck! What can you do lol

The black best friend who doesn't ever really get any satisfying arcs or attention given to him as a character who contributes beyond letting our protagonist have dialogue with him rather than exclusively monologuing in voiceover

How they handle race in general ofc. Like while I think that in the actual plots of the show there are good intentions (and sometimes good material!) in depicting the racism of this insular hiarchical society, racism in the real world affects the writing by giving the characters of color very little to do, and over all they are taken less seriously by the narrative.

Veronica's rape plot line. I actually think this plot started out very strong! But the minute the show focuses directly on it the writing gets lost in the weeds of plot twists and rival love interests, and I really think the points they were originally trying to make get buried.

Deadbeat Mom ran off she's got a single dad raising her (i feel like the number of single dads in media is exponentially larger than the real number of single dads in life. it's propaganda. and its misogynistic. but I digress)

The stuff I personally hate:

The romances :) lol. lmao, even. (I would love to rant about this but I really think that's not something that deserves to be on what is currently a measured review of the show as a whole)

The stuff that's great:

The noir homage: It's just. It's so good. It's so fucking good. This is to noir detective stories what american vandal will be to true crime 20 years later. I want to give whoever first thought "hey, being an ostracized teen girl is kinda like being a hardboiled noir detective," a raise and a kiss MWAH <3 A+ for tone! Veronica lives on the edges of her society (high school), allowing her to see all of it's pieces and hypocrisy, turning her cynical and aloof. And she's a teenager who solves crimes :D She's funny and self aware of her role, but never in such a way that it feels like lampshading or winking at the audience. They take it seriously--they take HER seriously, and that makes the show work.

Lilly: The central case of the show, the murder of Veronica's best friend and Veronica's revenge-driven mission to find her killer, is where the first season gets its power. Veronica gets to have the noir detective plot line of being haunted by the death of a woman she loved and driven by revenge, and it is so much more powerful here than I've ever seen it in its original form. Lilly is a tragedy, she is an unflinching look at the sexual exploitation of teenage girls and the casualness with which violent men will turn that violence on them, she is a messy bratty bitch of a sixteen year old, and Veronica loves her. Lilly gets to be complicated because Veronica, who knew her and loves her, is telling us her story. There are a lot of people who are affected by Lilly's death, but this show is about Veronica, and her reaction to the murder of her friend is what matters to the writers and the viewers. Once again, the show takes Veronica (and her grief and her rage and her love) seriously, and there is a lot of power in that. I think the reason the later seasons struggle is because they simply can't stand up to the emotional intensity that made up the core of season one.

I truly never get tired of the way both Johns move/hold themselves when performing. their twisting, bouncing, flailing dances both choreographed in videos and naturally on stage are such fun, infectious bursts of energy. it's charismatic and deeply unserious.
