What we need to do is convince all the disney adults in america that high speed rail would be a preferable way of getting to disneyworld compared to driving or flying. We could maybe harness their fondness for the monorail or something, but this is a group of people that has time, income, and passion that we could leverage. If we could direct 5% of the enthusiasm they have for limited edition popcorn buckets into calling their representatives and demanding high-speed interstate rail, we could get it by 2030
#at this point I don't care whether rail is privately or publicly funded#I'll ride the Mickey Mouse Express if it means not having to drive or fly everywhere#if you're on the disneyland side of the country I just don't have as strong a grasp on your psychology as a demographic#but I went to school with some twice a year disneyworld people#if you are a disney adult and you're reading this please don't take it as an insult#I don't think it comes off that way but you never know

Anthro Au Survivor drafts feat. too much worldbuilding because I cant just put pants on a slugcat like a normal person & my godawful handwriting
The Survivor (Their full, scavenger-given name includes the 'The') was separated from their family while traveling between colonies and stranded in the dangerous unpopulated wilds. Against all odds they managed to survive (and wander) far longer than they should have been able, but rather than reconnecting with their (or another) slugcat family, they instead made contact with one of the many wandering scavenger troops- But unfortunately not one that had ever met a slugcat nor had any idea what to make of a stranded one. Regardless the group gave it their best, ended up committing to the role of slugparents, and The Survivor and their troop still consider themselves close family long after Survivor finally reconnected with their sibling. (They're a bit of a mess though, understandably)
#rain world#rw anthro#subject to change and sorry if you actually try to make sense of this#but since arti is more anti-scav and survivor is a lil 'plain' i thought mixing scavengers in them would be a fun thing to explore#with the vanilla slugcats#unfortunately it means survivor was a very confused child who is a still confused adult#Also just cause of the way this is set up I think they have reconnected with Monk at this point#making this all so much harder on myself by not just going 'yea theyre in high school they ride bikes and drive cars' instead im being weir#and theyre turning more to rw if the creatures were sentient enough to do taxes#scribbles

My mom is always like "you were suchhh an easy kid compared to your brothers, you didn't even cry the first night home from the hospital it was so weird. I never had to worry about you since I knew you could handle yourself" meanwhile I as a kid always felt like
#its also funny bc then she acts surprised when i dont know how to do things#'i learned how to drive at 14' okay well you didnt teach me#'my friends taught me' okay well i didnt have friends because my social skills fucking sucked.#at this point i know its on me that i let my anxiety control my life im not even blaming that on her#sibce i am an adult capable of making changes#since*#but when she says stuff like this it makes my eye twitch#i try not to resent my brothers (esp my younger brother) for this#but kinda sucks they got more attentiveness to their developmental issues than i did#two younger brothers on the spectrum and older brother with speech issues and dyslexia#i started anti anxiety meds in senior year of high school but thats it. and wasnt bc of her noticing my anxiety disorder#personal#also i know people usually reply these things trying to be encouraging but i dont really like when others talk badly about my mom#so dont do that please

I just want to watch Jane Fonda movies and smoke weed but noooooooooooooo I have to go to work and have responsibilities...
#there's no punchline I'm just venting#if I could just have a single morning where my son got up without having to be wrangled and we could get somewhere on time#if he made one adult-worthy decision#I could be happy I know it but...#at least he's making friends with his fellow delinquents in summer school#they snuck the other late comers in the side door after the security guards went on brake#which is hilarious but also I wanted to murder him because this is your plan????#Meanwhile I'm driving to work watching my hair turn gray#and he sends me a message saying “chill the hell out”#parenting is super rewarding let me tell you

Interesting that the # of licensed drivers in the US is decreasing
#not really ig bc urbanization is still a force#but it remains up in the air whether we're going to see improvements in public transportation over the next couple decades afaik#also i think a lot of the migration to cities rn is cities that have definitively poor public transportation e.g. houston#or my own beloved charlotte (not beloved)#from experience i know that it can actually be more difficult & less safe to navigate without a car in those places than in rural areas#(btw just looked it up and confirmed it is this sort of city that's seeing population growth)#(mostly)#soo back to why are licensed driver numbers dropping#i think i want to pin it on lack of resources?#plus this is mostly an issue among young adults many of whom weren't physically at school during the time when students take driving classes#this interests me bc people have always thought it was really weird i never learned to drive but i've noticed more and more ppl#especially young women#talking about not knowing how to drive

even for period typical ableism it still drives me nuts for karen to go oh poor matt how can he deal and get around as if he hasn't been blind most of his life at this point and living on his own by himself as an adult for his entire adult life after college and has also lived in the city his whole life like girl use your damn brain he can get around by himself just fine. good god. like take five seconds to use your brain. literally adult man who lives by himself if nothing else that should tell you he is fine and when he needs assistance has the knowledge and ability to go get it you act as if he can't even walk on the sidewalk by himself. he literally shows up to work by himself. it drives me up the wall sometimes how she sees proof of him functioning fine independently literally witnesses it on the daily and still thinks these things. like again foggy isn't great either bc again the period typical ableism (and just general ableism in the world outside of this period as this is a common attitude of viewing disabled people as helpless and unable to function even if they are people who do live independently (and im not touching on people who do need extra support and caretaking in this context. as this post is about these characters in the context of a story. so im talking about what we see there instead of any truly meaningful nuanced way) but the writing here is like. Particularly this way due to the time) he has a modicum more of understanding that matt is literally a capable grown adult man. literally told karen matt is a big boy who can handle himself and then karen went b-b-but you forget he's blind as if foggy hasn't known him for years of his life and is his best friend like PLEASE SEE HIM AS AN ADULT. I AM GOING TO GO INSANE. PLEASE RESPECT HIM IF YOU LOVE HIM SO DEARLY. AND EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T. JUST RESPECT HIM AS A PERSON!!!!!!
#i think it's particularly maddening bc we have seen characters be able to understand civillian matt is like. more than just Blind Man.#i am always highly aware of period typical writing and can remember the context etc etc but sometimes.#sometimes it truly. truly does drive me up the wall. especially when other characters have been capable of not being That Level#of infantalizing. again foggy still isn't much better in a lot of respects he is just as capable of and has been as infantilizing#and insulting as karen has been. for sure. on multiple occassions. no questions asked. but i dont think he does it to the extent karen does#as in we dont see it on page just as much. it's just a bit less. so we see karen focus on it far more. to an almost exaggerated extent#part of that is the romance plot of ohhh i cannot possibly love a blind man while foggy is matt;s best friend of many years#so of course it will be in the way of the stan lee and old romance comics schools of writing that this goes down and is written like this.#of course we see her focus on it a touch more in a different way bc she's still getting to know matt and hasnt witnessed him#for about like a decade(? they met in undergrad right?) function on his own the way foggy has. but jesus christ man. good god.#at a certain point even with the period time context it does just still leave a bad taste. at certain points it becomes less eye roll#and far more maddening and hard to push down. bc it is gross. no matter what time period it is.#again. both of them are pretty disrespectful towards matt about it at this point even if mostly in their inner monologues or dialogues#with each other and not super to matt's face about it every time. but still. sometimes karen drives me far more crazy about it than foggy.#becase at least foggy can in fact recognize every now and then. matt is a perfectly capable grown man who can function and thrive.#and is someone who lives independently but also can know how to get assistance when needed.#while karen at this point has never really once given matt the benefit of that assumption despite witnessing his capabilities.#because even with his act of trying to fit the image ppl have of him. he still functions within that! and shows he can do things!#and ask for help when he needs it! even within his act of making himself smaller and quieter for others.#he's still like. adult man who lives his life. and does stuff on his own time.#i cant really speak about matt on any more deeper level than that in regards to his disabilities. i am not disabled.#i only speak as a reader and someone watching what these characters do and have proven to be able to do and how they act.#so i can only talk about karen and foggy's behaviors and attitudes in that regard.#and also as a person with like. basic understanding of other ppl living their lives. that all ppl live their own damn lives however it is#like most ppl on planet earth.#i apologize if any of my wording here is bad or if i dont talk on it well as none of this in the real world stuff is my lived experience#and you are free to go hey. incorrect. think about that or word that differently.#ok i promise im done now it's just. EUGH. UGH!!!!!#static.soundz

Opinion on the idea of role-swap AU where everyone only swaps one random trait per pair? (like say, Audrey is the one who stayed in Paris while Andre dipped but its still very much regular Audrey. Or Shoto going to Aldera instead of Katsuki)
Honestly we have plenty of AU ideas that stem from 'character A does something different/Character A and B swap roles'.
#actually that *shoto at Aldera* one is driving me insane#because while it would never happen because (as the next Road to Hell chapter shows) Enji is not touching that district with a ten foot pol#it would fix so many problems#shoto befriends Izuku half out of genuine Izuku and the power of friendship and half because he thinks it'll spite his dad#shoto is confused because enji doesn't care about Izuku's lack of Quirk and is just answering every one of Izuku's rapidfire questions#(because enji's focus on the family's quirks was for a specific purpose not some prejudiced bullshit)#(izuku being an All Might fan might annoy him but Enji gets why the population likes All Might so he's not too bothered)#Either Shoto decides to use this for good and/or Fuyumi is doing some TA shit and finds out about the bullying#and they go *hey dad as a Hero I'm sure you could do something about this* and whoops a rain of hellfire on the school staff#On the flipside Inko finds out about the abuse and flips on Enji because how dare he call himself a Hero but act like That™#(she may or may not throw a chair at him because damn it reoccurring theme)#tbh once confronted by an adult who knows the situation is fucked and can point out the wrongness of it from every direction?#It's actually pretty easy for him to back down on some of that and unpack a chunk of trauma

adopted a guy at my school cuz he plays sin, apparently, and I play ky. But then his friends are like "You're my dad, too!" and so I have 3 kids now
There comes a point eventually, as you get older, where it sort of flips and now you ARE the oldest one and all these young people jokingly call you dad/mom/parent and it's super funny but also kinda like "damn, I'm old" rofl
Anyway. Congrats on the adopted children, Ky
#asks#This happened to me a lot in high school because I was taller than everyone and didn't put up with peoples' shit#So I just seemed like an adult more than anyone else and kept getting put into leadership roles against my will lmfao#All while being like... 15#Like girl help I can't even drive yet I am going to Lord of the Flies post-timeskip this classroom#High school was hell. Every day I am grateful I am no longer in Child Prison

Chisa's actually much younger than you think, she was in the 74th class which only separates her by 3 years from the DR2s. (But then there's power imbalance issues which is why any ship between her and a DR2 is a no). I always headcanoned Miaya to be from the 76th to give her a year where she and Chihiro could both be attending the school at once. This has been my random splurge about ages
Don't worry, I know! I've complained several times about Chisa being only 3 years older than her students. Weirdest decision in all of DR3. Why did they do that. How long did the writers think it takes to become a teacher. This is my white whale. Obviously it's complicated to ship her with the students, but she's like, 20 years younger than the hot moms. Miaya and the pregame V3 kids are such a rare boon for shipping Chisa potentially within her age group!
#dont get me wrong ill ship her with hot moms anyway. but the OPTION within her age group would be nice#the fact that Chisa was in her final year of high school when Seiko and crew were in their first year#and yet in despair arc chisa is presented as a Real Adult and seiko as another student#drives me NUTS. she is 21. she should be at the club#asks#anon#talk to the mod

Hm. Late to the party But. Florence Welch talented and good music.
#okay I’m loving dance fever and the new symphonic lungs album#I have fond memories of listening to lungs on sunny drives with my friends in high school#it’s like a fun rehash for adult me#and dance fever is obviously groundbreaking#Florence and the machine#Florence Welch

Also it feels so good to be taking classes again even though the subject is human development and at-home care instead of literature or religion. I'm nervous about the practical skills exams, especially for very personal tasks, but I'm just going to do my best and leave it at that.
#a sock speaks#work tag#I'm working for 2 clients this month. scheduling around my training#a lot of it is shopping and errands which is a lot of fun for me#but also it forces me to practice driving with a passenger and parking in tricky places. I make a lot of mistakes but it's been good for me#one major reason I considered this job is that I knew it would push me to learn life skills#I'm so so scared of violating HIPAA or getting into a car accident with a client in the car or accidentally getting a client sick or or or#but it's good to face my fears. this is through. this is the way out.#I've also had the thought that this training will help me be prepared as my parents age. they're in their mid sixties now#and will probably both need to retire soon. I want them to be able to relax and only work if they want to#I don't want to panic if/when they need care. I want to be capable of taking on responsibility when needed.#I feel so much more like a real adult in this job. I think some of my work anxiety is learned#like I start out anxious in a new job or school program bc I'm new. but then I stay anxious bc I've learned that anxious is how to feel#in that role#but so far I'm doing better at staying calm and treating myself more like an adult#and other people also seem to be treating me more like a real adult. please please please let this be transferable to other contexts.#local construction#my mental health has also been decent so far this month despite the intensely busy schedule#I'm really thankful for that. far less stressful caring for one person at a time than bouncing between 2-6 tables at a time

Happy dead dad day!
#my dad died 3 years ago today#I have a lot of complicated thoughts about my dad and have spent the past year very angry at him#but i miss him so much and not a day goes by that i don't wish he was still here#part of grief is allowing yourself to feel everything you feel about the person you've lost#my dad did a lot of shitty things and let me believe horrible things about my mother for 11 years#until after he died my mom finally defended herself because she didn't want me to hate my dad while he was alive#and i don't hate him. ive never hated him#but i think back on my childhood and the trauma his untreated mental illness inflicted on all of us#that no one outside of our house knew about#he was bipolar and had DID and was probably also autistic#i was terrified of my father until i was about 16. but i love him and loved him then#the amount of shit he put us all through and especially my mother. who stayed with him because he was her soulmate and also#would likely have killed himself if she left. he threatened to kill her on multiple occasions#we weren't allowed to walk home after school even though it's only about a mile to the school from my house#i realized after he died that its because my mother did not trust him to be home alone with us for our safety#all the adults in our life thought we were just lazy fat kids who couldn't walk a mile#and i think thats the hardest#people thought so negatively about is because they didn't know what we went through on a daily basis#his own family has his memory on a pedestal when they didn't even live with him during childhood#he lived with his grandma and they all lived with their mom#and they get mad if we say ANYTHING negative about him#YOU DIDN'T KNOW HIM YOU DON'T EVEN BELIEVE HE SUFFERED FROM D.I.D. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DIAGNOSED!#anyways rest in peace to my chevy impala that the transmission died while driving from the hospital to see him#because he was in a coma. for the 3rd time that year#dead dad club#parental loss#grief

music is so intertwined with all aspects of my life. I have a song for almost every single moment—good,bad, and everything in between—of my life. music will forever be apart of my life and I love that it’s a way for me to remember moments of my life.
#there’s songs that remind me of my step moms playlist when her and my bio dad would be driving us to their house in AZ#there’s songs that remind me of tumultuous moments in my childhood and wishing I could be an adult already or that I could runaway#where no one would find me#there’s songs that remind me of my bio dad and even tho I hate him and I have my dad who loves me#I can’t deny that my bio dad introduced me to blink 182 and bc I was into them#I had some common ground with my dad now bc he loves rock esp classic rock#whenever I hear Metallica I think of my dad bc he loves enter sandman#and whenever I hear beyonce I think of my mom having her crazy in love music vidoe on her iPod#where I’d watch it over and over bc I wanted to look and be like Beyoncé#there’s this super specific Spanish corrido that reminds me of my grandma driving me to school in the mornings#and anytime I hear a cowbell in songs I think of my tio#who passed away when I was 7 and his favorite SNL skit with his brothers (my other tios) and my mom and her siblings#was the Jonas brothers will ferrel cowbell skit#anyways#that’s as personal and detailed as I’ll get for tonight
