I let it go as long as possible in the hopes the issue would get resolved but honestly am I the only person in my apartment building that bothers to bitch at the landlord when the boilers aren't heating up enough...?

like I just get the sense that my neighbors just suck it up when there's problems like this and don't bother with it. and sometimes I agree, that's the best approach, but not with the heat. space heaters only do so much and when the heat is part of my stupidly expensive rent payments, like, I am not about to pay extra electricity to supplement what they should be providing me. so why do I feel like it's only me ever letting him know there's an issue....?

can't one of y'all do it instead I know I'm not the only white person in this building surely one of you is willing to be the karen sometimes. or has new york just beaten you down so much that you accept illegal temperatures?

#and I know it's a building wide problem because the lobby has been cold as shit #so that radiator isn't heating up enough either #which means none of the radiators are heating up enough #and last time this was a problem it was because one apartment unit was using a space heater to keep their place astronomically hot #which was messing up the boilers' algorithm #and that could easily be the case again #and it's an easy fix you just take that unit out of the algorithm #but the landlord can't fix that if nobody mentions they're fucking cold #alternatively if it's an issue with the boiler itself like he's gotta know about that #that's his fucking job and I don't ask for much but I expect to have heat in february #...anyways once again I must be the building karen #which I don't mind but like c'mon back me up sometimes fam

it’s actually so wild to me that this fairly quirky YA type show gave both of its main characters deaths that can, in one way or another, solidly be considered hate crimes. they were both flat out murdered as a result of being A) gay and effeminate or B) brown (south asian, specifically) and you could argue whether or not those kids thought of it that way in the moment or whatever but the bottom line is that they would not have been in the situations that killed them if they weren’t of their respective minorities. like legitimately that is a ballsy choice for this kind of netflix show, let alone for the two Main Characters, and i respect it big time

#rambling #i think about this a lot #you could brush charles’ off as a hate crime by proxy since it was in response to him Stopping a hate crime #but that would be stupid. like you think what happened to him would’ve happened if he was white? doubtful #as a mixed person the way i see it is that in that moment- when he protected that pakistani kid- he went from being tolerated #by being/acting just white enough and with enough other jock traits to sort of fit in amongst them #to all at once proving to them that no- he is in fact The Other. he isn’t one of us he’s one of Them.#and as such what happened to him would’ve been a bonafide hate crime. even if they were to give an excuse like ‘he got in our way’ or ‘he #made a fool out of us’ or whatever else. even if those boys didn’t fully UNDERSTAND the racism in their own intentions/actions #it still would be. because that would not have happened to a white boy. period #anyway. genuinely fascinating choice they made with the way they presented his death- especially considering it was not #remotely similar in the comics. neither of them had the hate crime aspect going on really up til yockey’s narrative choices #so props to him. man’s got balls #dead boy detectives #charles rowland #edwin payne #edit: I will say that I don’t think the boys in edwin’s case technically murdered him nor would I call them murderers #because I can’t imagine a single one of them actually thought that ritual was gonna do anything more than make him piss himself #it was still hate-based bullying. like they still absolutely did what they did because he’s visibly effeminate and easily clickable #and all in all: gay. but when I say edwin was murdered I don’t really mean by those boys. I mean those boys dragged him into the situation #(kicking and screaming) that GOT him murdered by a demon. and he would not have been in that position if not for being gay.#I’ll say it again because last time I talked about this someone got real pissy in my inbox: I am not excusing the actions of the boys that #got him killed nor am I saying what they did wasn’t based in homophobia. i am just clarifying that they didn’t intend on killing anyone or #think whatsoever that someone getting killed was even a possibility (as opposed to charles’ killers who definitely had to have thought he #could be killed even if that might not have been the premeditated goal of every boy involved)#but the fact that edwin was ultimately intentionally killed by a demon counts as murder to me #someone killed him on purpose. that’s murder #the demon probably didn’t give a shit about this human teenager’s sexuality but regardless he ended up there for being gay.#so. just. a clarification

Since I don't like to wait or make people wait… I'll end this quickly.

#sasori #akatsuki #naruto akatsuki #sasori of the red sand #sasori akasuna #third kazekage #naruto manga coloring #manga coloring #i discovered a program to enlarge images and i have so much power now #in most cases you could easily set it as your wallpaper if the aspect ratio was better lol.#enjoy sasori and third in a-lil-dead vampirish but still vibrant palette #bc official colors suck #i wanted to prove to myself that desaturated colors can be used well #i have one or two more kakuzus cooking depending on how you look at this #and then i'll probably open polls again #phi colors #i'll prepare a better ID later #they say that shitty ID is better than no id #i can tell you it looks v good in b&w too. it fucks in b&w

the further into buffy season 4 i get the more contempt i have for riley. he gets all sadboy and limps around whenever he remembers buffy is stronger and better than him. she’s compelled to apologize for it, every time!?!?! and he’s supposed to be the nice one out of all her boyfriends??

he thinks she literally DIES and is sad for a whole 2 seconds before hes back to being accusatory and shoving her around the place..... fuck this guy.

i love buffy. her most consistent character flaw is being a chronic man liker… which is valid but excruciating to watch 😔 mainly because i DOUBT it’s written to actually be a flaw, it’s probably just what joss bitchdon sees as a Universal Woman Trait. accommodating riley's feelings is priority #1 for her, unquestionably.

(she does reject spike, in the end, but id honestly argue that’s more to do with the writers’ feelings about the buffy/spike romance rather than anything to do with buffy herself…)

spike, faith, even angel… kind of funny how the ones who see and consistently remind buffy of her strength are also not categorical Good Guys. they have to be more aware of it cause they fight her, but… either way. she’s always gonna be the strongest even if nobody wants her to be.

#except for dawn and tara because they’re perfect in every conceivable way! i could be wrong tho i don’t remember #even motherfucking GILES does it. in the scene where he meets prof. walsh she praises her. and she’s also kinda evil lol #when he called her a unique girl and walsh was like. yes i agree she’s a very unique woman LOOOLLLLL #okay but stuff perhaps 2 be said about giles+walsh and riley+buffy as parallels. like giles hates walsh cause he's jealous. 🫵MISOGYNY #he hates womens wrongs? is he stupid?#willow and xander r special cases as the BFFs but…….#xander……………….. never mind. too much to complain about with him #spike and angel r dicks too though im VERY aware of that #and faith is..... faith #btvs #&#buffy the vampire slayer #this was supposed to be a normal riley hatepost sorry for being loquacious it will happen again #goodbye iowa is easily one of the worst episodes in the show.#hate hate hate im full of it

The show says Nina and Sarah are both 11 in numerology, but actually only Nina is. Sarah is a 9 lmfao

#you can trust me because I do tarot and numerology as a side hustle #they could have so easily changed Sarah’s birthday to February 2 and still had the chosen one same month/day/time thing idk why they didn’t #house of anubis #there are different types of numerology but it was very clear that in Nina’s case she was using her birthday #and even if you do sarah’s name numerology it’s STILL not 11 lol #they just straight up don’t match lol #once again something that could have EASILY been fixed

The way qiu qingzhi/qiu shenji sees through lb instantly regardless of medium and yet still misses the most important part.

#the whole bit in the cdrama where they're discussing how well they know each other and qqz says he knows lb better than lb realises #and he's not wrong! but qqz still doesn't understand him /enough/ to avert everything. meanwhile lb does know qqz better than qqz realises #bc even when saying they're not friends lb still /believes/ in him or at least knows enough of him to know which accusations are false.#they both understand the other more than the other realises whilst still holding back from each other.#meanwhile in the manhua/donghua lb tries to reach out and hits a wall w/ qsj bc qsj understands the politics of this more than lb does #despite lb losing his family and distrusting the empress his sense of justice still makes him too easily to manipulate.#the tensions btwn minister xu + qsj had been stoked but qsj refused to rise to it (even w/o knowing the extent of bg manipulation)#but lb was the piece in the right position to fast track the 'investigation' not realising it could only ever lead to a rigged execution #in both cases everyone is trapped by something bigger than themselves. can only work w/n the framework that will lead to their doom.#it's just that only qsj/qqz is fully aware of it. lb doesn't yet comprehend. he thinks he does. but until qqz/qsj takes the hit he doesn't.#and qsj/qqz miscalculating wrt lb. reading his 'show' for what it is. but still missing the most important detail.#qsj/qqz fumbling the personal side bc of the politics whilst lb barges into the politics w/o fully reading the waves he's creating...#anyway don't mind me. just intensely glad the tag isn't dead even if the overlap of cdrama and manhua/donghua watchers is tiny.#white cat legend #white cat legend spoilers #<- for my own tags again

Just finished the Strive Story and. Well things certainly happened in it. They better make Megumi a bad bitch if she shows up again or I will be fucking tilted.

#LIKE NOT TO HATE ON WOMEN BUT.#bringing her back with no elaboration is such a stupid plotpoint. it does both Ino and Axl so fucking dirty it's crazy #like it could be very interesting and easily fixed with a case of ''she's here but irreversibly changed by time shenanigans/gaining ino's #abilities/ino's knowledge'' but. either they will not do that or it will take ten trillion years to acknowledge her again at all.#anyway I think she should be a total fucker I think it would be funny. can we just get I-No two.

//went to the dr and all they did was take my fucking blood... again

#ooc #this time they're testing my vitamin d to see if i might be deficient #while i hope that's the case because that can be easily cured i've also HAD a vit d deficiency before and it felt NOTHING like this #granted i guess this could be a more severe deficiency #but idk i feel like they're laser focusing on the fatigue i initially reported and not the constant horrible body pain that's set in #and worsened in the couple months since i made the appointment #like i had the pain with the fatigue as well but it wasn't constant. now it's FUCKING CONSTANT.#it's not always at the worst possible level but it's pretty much always there in some form or another #and tbh this is like. the 3rd time they've taken blood with the first 2 tests yielding no clue as to what could be wrong with me #so i know they need to do it to check and/or rule out everything but like #it's so frustrating. being in constant pain. and constantly being told to 'wait for results' that so far have yielded nothing #nothing that points to what's wrong anyway #so i hope it IS a vit d deficiency and i hope my gut feeling that it's not is way off the mark #because a deficiency can be fixed with some supplements and boom all better #but if it's not.... then i have to face the reality that this is probably some kind of chronic illness #which i've been coming to realize that it might be #but it still fucking sucks #because this time last year i was Literally Fucking Fine #and now i'm just. so fucking sick. and sick of BEING sick.#and every time i go in i feel like i'm rushed right out. like i mention my concerns but i don't have the time to think if there's something #i've forgotten because they're rushing me towards the lab to get my blood drawn. again.#and usually there is #but this is literally the only clinic i can afford rn so #just gotta tough it out and cross my fingers that some vitamins are all i need

#Doodles #UT #Handplates #Gaster #Asgore #My brainspace......#I (again) still haven't reread (yet)!#Why are they taking over my brain who signed off on this #I haven't even been playing with Ghoster lately so what gives #I think it's the little glimpses I've been like half-looking at that are Just Intriguing enough to Want to read more but Not Yet #Maybe soon tho.........might be fun.............#Anyway lol until then! I've already drawn them so too late now haha #They really are cute ♪ I still haven't actually gone in on a Gaster study yet but giving him a one-over helped a bit on his face shape #He's sharp-looking for being so roundy hehe ♪#I constantly want to be drawing him blushing I cannot explain the why I just do - honestly most of the inspiration for the mini lol #Probably because he's usually so cold it's fun to see him break a bit hehe ♪ In a nice way in this case haha #I'm sure once I reread again the type of Break will shift a bit hm ♫#Some more Asgore! Ft. a brief sidestep into an alternate hairstyle I was testing out at the time lol - maybe a ponytail? That'd be cute #He's so tiny in comparison haha #Fits perfectly inside his cape lol ♪ Just peeking out - he could hide there so easily! Somebody looking for him? Shoop! Lol #And then the mini :) Inviting closeness and feeling conflicted and bittersweet ah #The appeal ✨#They just have such a fun dynamic and while this might be a little more casual than appropriate hehe it was still fun ♪#They just have such a contrast in looks in feelings but they can still be so alike and get along well #I like them ♫

i forgot how much i like ahasbands/redwood?? whatever. theyre so domestic they make me sick

#jasper speaks #i always call them ahasbands but i saw someone say redwood which is cute but i prefer ahasbands #anyway. i think grumbo will always be my favourite mumbo ship but the pros of being a multishipper is everyone wins #i like to think they both have little copper rings. martyn keeps his orange and mumbos goes bluegreen #martyn keeps his orange because it reminds him of the spyglasses and last life as a whole #mumbo forgot about it and it turned bluegreen over time (except he didnt actually forget about it #the bluegreen reminds him of martyns warden parts)#i also think mumbo would keep his ring like. in a chest or in a pocket #because he doesnt like how rings feel (wow wonder where he got that from) (its me)#he keeps it in his pocket unless hes in a place where he could easily drop it and not realise (such as redstone or flying long distances)#in which case he'll put it in his ender chest #i could make some angst thing about martyn thinking mumbo hates him for making his ring dirty and keeping it buried in a chest #and mumbos just totally oblivious #what the fuck is my warden martyn tag again. this counts right #warden martyn rambles #i need to stop burying all of this in tags
