Rant about this picture (Fuck you, boomers)

So, I found this image on Facebook. It had the caption "Thanksgiving nowadays" and I felt kinda annoyed at this. So, I needed to rant a bit. XD

So, I want to start: boomers have no grasp on reality. They think everyone is addicted to their devices so much that even a family gathering is ignored.

Like, sure you might have the one family member that you invite that's scrolling their phone, but everyone else will be civilized and pay attention.

And if everyone in your family is on their devices, I say you are in the wrong, because this is an obvious sign that everyone hates everyone. And you brought all of them together and they all think you are the asshole.

But no, this does not happen every single to every single family. In fact, if you're believing this that means YOU are the one family member that sits at the table with their phone out.

Boomers really have no concept of reality and I'm sick and tired of the bullshit they make up in their heads and get angry at us for their made up scenario.

Sorry for the rant.

It took me 29 years to understand how special I am. In friendships or relationships, I give my heart and put people on to a lot of things. Connection is big for me so I have the right to be choosy with whom I decide to be yoked with. That simple

[sing-you-fools]

me: this is a background character who's in one scene, has two lines, and is completely irrelevant to the rest of the story. i am going to stop obsessing over what to name him and use the random name generator on behindthename.com. i am going to accept the first thing it gives me and move the fuck on.

The Origins of Q

Q emerged in late 2017 on anonymous internet forums like 4chan and 8chan. The entity, known as Q, claimed to be a high-level government insider with top security clearance.

The Cabal: Followers believe a secret group of elites controls world events, engaging in criminal activities.

The Plan: Q claims there is a detailed plan to dismantle this cabal, led by allies within the government and military.

Trust the Plan: A recurring message urging followers to have faith in Q’s strategy, even when evidence seems lacking.

“Where We Go One, We Go All” (WWG1WGA): A motto symbolizing unity among followers and their collective mission.

I know we all love when writers go deep down a research rabit hole on something really specific for the sake of a fic (I certainly am not immune to doing ridiculous research into minute details for no real reason lol)

but allow me, just for a moment, to sing the praises of ✨️vagueness✨️

Unfamiliar with a city's precise geography? Be real vague.

Want a character to be a doctor but don't know how surgery works? Mention it in passing.

Character plays a sport you know nothing about? Vague it up!

You don't know what specific brand of a thing would have been popular in that time and place? Go generic baby!!

You really can just hand-wave stuff that's not where you want the focus of your story to be without anything falling apart. The audience will look where you point them, like a magic trick! If the research is stopping you up and making progress hard or frustrating you can just... not do it.

shakes my hands above my head and paces around the room im so sick of everyone acting like ford is a dumb stupid idiot baby who was completely tricked by bill and did nothing wrong. yes he was lied to and bill was abusive, but theres so much more to everything that happened. ford was soooo incredibly willfully ignorant and pushed other important people in his life away, YES bc bill tricked him, but mostly because he wanted to be important. he was actively ignoring red flags from bill and hurting the people around him and was complicit in so much stuff bill did just because he wanted it to be true that bill picked him bc he was special. ford was the one who summoned him in the first place, but then bill just??? told him that he picked ford bc he was special which makes no sense and ford is smarter than that, but he didnt care bc wowwwww he picked me bc im so awesme and smarter and better than everyone!!! he was fucking HEAD OVER HEELLLSSS OBSESSED WITH BILL BTW THAT SHIT WAS NOT ONE SIDED!!! idk why everyone pretends it was. he was building shrines and worshiping him like a god. and never questioned him for a second????? like girl he is the most scientific, curious man in the world and he never once thought bill was lying. he let bill into his life and let him take it over sooo fucking quickly. and he didnt tell anyone bc "they would throw him in a loony bin" ?????? THATS OBVIOUSLY NOT WHY HE DIDNT TELL FIDDLEFORD. he was LYIIINNGG. They were building an interdimensional portal, fiddleford obviously wouldve believed ford and taken him seriously and kept a secret for him. he didnt tell fiddleford bc he was one of the only people in fords life who saw through his bullshit. hes nice, but he stands his ground. as soon as things got too hot, he left. and ford knew that if he told fiddleford about bill that he would immediately be like "dudddeee this is so fucking sketchy you need to research this guy theres obviously smthn else happening." if ford looked into the runes and the messages in the caves, hed probably deduce pretty damn quickly that bill was evil!! but he didnt bc hes selfish and self righteous and wanted to be a part of soemthing bigger than himself. thats literally all he ever wanted. I think the most interesting thing about TBOB is that it shows that it wasnt as black and white as it seemed and that ford wasnt the perfect victim. its shown in the show sooo much how fucked up his morals are. and im not saying this with malice, i fucking love ford and his character so much, i just think so many people act like billford was like a fucking domestic abuse situation where ford was just sad and pathetic and helpless. its so much more complicated than that. ford is not a super great guy and thats such an interesting part of his character. IDK.
