Matt and Dom's bold predictions for Muse's future, including a stellar moment where Matt asks a young and thoroughly confused Australian interviewer if he feels sexy, as well as Muse's predictions for how hot they're going to be aged 45. Safe to say, those predictions were absolutely true ;)
Owl House is a surprisingly dark show but still very much kid appropriate. I think the themes about grief and self harm as well as like. exploring topics like ableism, religion, death, and abuse is really neat.
I do think it'll be funny in five to ten years when people who were lil while watching the show revisit it later and are like WHat the fuck did I watch about certain things tho, because I really didn't pick up on the Vibes with Terra and Raine or like some of the nuances and I was already 19 when the show started coming out HAUIH.
the fact that they made it illegal to make ads louder than programs on tv in 2010 but haven't updated it to apply the same regulation to streaming. who do i have to call.
Before she leaves, I ask the Batgirl how she does it—keeps herself from falling to the influence of the reality engine.
It is my way of remembering him...a single-minded pursuit of vengeance, she answers.
Did you get it from him?, I ask.
I had it before him, she says.

I need Ram V on a Cass solo after he finishes his Tec run because he really does just get it
the gorgug-porter conversation is interesting to me because like. yea for the overwhelming majority of the conversation porter’s being shitty & trying to fit gorgug into a box that gorgug just does not fit into by trying to make gorgug’s relationship with his rage more focused on the aggression aspect of it. but then there’s also this specific thing that brennan brought up again in the ap, which is that gorgug’s relationship with his rage is wholly “this is a tool i use to protect my friends.” which isn’t a bad thing! but that’s his Whole relationship with it, & gorgug seems to place next to no value on his rage in relationship to himself. which is problematic, because it’s first & foremost his rage.
being raised in a household with a sort of toxic positivity largely meant that, whether or not it was his parents’ intention, gorgug internalized the message that more traditionally “negative” emotions such as anger are the wrong response to something. part of the reason he prioritizes his artificing is probably because it’s “fixing” things. in comparison to being a barbarian, which gorgug associates with “breaking” things. good vs. bad behavior, in his eyes.
it’s a totally unacceptable bar to measure a 16 y/o by, but i do think part of porter’s reasoning for not letting gorgug multiclass is him recognizing that gorgug generally does not value anger as a valid emotional response to something, at the very least for himself. & that directly conflicts with what being a barbarian is, because whether you like it or not, that rage is what fuels you. but again, barring a kid from pursuing something they deeply care about in part (not entirely, porter has a lot of more bullshit reasons) because of their fundamental values & world outlook is crazy.
so yes, 98% of porter’s reasoning is pretty shitty, immature, rife with a toxic view that there’s only one proper way to access rage, & generally not a good thing to do as a teacher, but also within that reasoning is the 2% of ‘there is a fundamental part of yourself that you only value if you can use it to take care of other people & you need to accept that as something that can take care of you, too.’ but that’s something to discuss with a therapist or a guidance counselor, not something that should hugely impact gorgug’s academic future.
Okay. I fixed my crop top that was designed for skinny boobless people. Here's some before and after pics
Before: idk if you could tell in the photo but it hung off my tits really weirdly, sticking out weird and laying like 4-5 inches out from my body. The armpits also gaped really bad.
After: added an elastic channel and made it scrunchy at the bottom and added 1 inch darts to the armpits. They still gape a bit but I didn't want to make the darts too big and make it hard to get on and off
It looks MUCH better. Also a photo if the patch I had to sew on partly by hand because I accidentally cut the top right in the elastic channel I just made instead of the thread I was trying to cut. At least it was in the armpit where no one can see it and it's not really noticeable.
