Just went to my first bull riding show and from now on America, Brazil, and Australia are the bull riding trio to me
#I have decided this based on going to a bull riding show#and there being riders from the USA Brazil and Australia there#and only those three countries#I mean like 40% of them were from Brazil#and 3 from Australia#I knew at least one Brazilian rider would be there because he was the champ and got mentioned in the news coverage beforehand#but I was surprised at how many Brazilian riders were there#I didn’t know it was a popular sport there#and then there was a group with the Australian flag in the crowd too#probably the families of the riders but one of them also placed like fourth in the entire night so they had an okay run#hws america#hws Australia#hws Brazil#anyway now I imagine all of them get together to watch bull riding

I think Danny Phantom fandom is absolutely sleeping on the sheer dumb bulshittery Danny, Sam and Tucker generate on the regular and it’s a fucking shame. Like, the three of them have exactly one (1) single braincell between them, and the only one to use it at least semi-regularly is Jazz. You literally can’t leave them for five minutes without them stumbling into some new bullshit every single time. Granted, a lot of times bullshit finds them first instead of the other way around, but by god will they make the situation worse. They run into the situations with the same reckless abandon the cockchafers fly into any solid obstacle in their way, and you’d think that at least one of them will be the voice of reason, and you’d be dead wrong.
Danny? He thought pranking a murder happy millionaire with a vindictive streak the size of Grand Canyon was a great idea. And then, like a moron, he decided to use equally murder happy government agency with a huge prejudice against ghosts and a vendetta against him, personally. Absolutely nothing that could go wrong with that, obviously!
(spoiler alert, things did go very wrong very fast)
Tucker? A valid choice at the first glance, except he is always down to commit crimes for either his friends or just for funsies. Remember that time he ran an obviously illegal babysitting scam business? Or that time when he brainwashed and then dimensionally displaced the whole school into Ancient Egypt setting? Another notable instances of Tucker being a menace, in no particular order: organised o pro-meat protest in a few hours, tried to shoot a ghost with his phone as a projectile (and succeeded), sold Sam out to a ghost out of sheer pettiness, gave Skulker an alarm-induced ptsd, almost killed Danny that one time (don’t worry, Danny was fine) and in general committed to being bullshit-enabling gremlin.
Now Sam would seem the most grounded and reasonable out of three of them, but it is what SHE wants you to believe. She is just as, if not more, unhinged as the boys, she just hides it better. Remember that time she trashed the castle and antagonised a few dozen of armed guards, while having no back up, no weapons, no allies and while being in some shithole in the Ghost Zone? And then basically told a tyrannical asshole with op dragon powers “fuck you and your entire kingdom” in the face? And then rode another dragon who put said asshole through a wall? Good times.
They all seem like perfectly reasonable people at the first glance, and then Tucker and Danny would dare each other to lick that weird glowing green rock, and Sam would roll her eyes and groan about how stupid boys are, and then Tucker would dare her to lick that glowing rock too, and Danny will say, “Come on, Tuck, it’s okay if she’s too afraid to do it-”, and yes, Sam and her mother have many disagreements on a lot of things, but both her mother AND Granny did not raise a fucking bitch, move over, Tucker, or so help her the spirit of Pandora-
They all end up absolutely miserable in ecto-containment units sick as hell with ecto-flu and on all questions answer that no, they don’t know how this happened, maybe it was ghost attack last week, they did get blasted by that green goo, after all, but really, they have absolutely no idea, honest. Jazz suspects something, but she also has no proof and therefore can’t prove anything. In the end, it was one of the worst weeks in their life and they all ended up swearing to not do it ever again.
(they do end up doing it again two months later)
#phandom is SLEEPING on the sheer comedic potential of those three committing crimes together I swear to god!!!!#like I do understand that this fandom loves it’s angst and all#and sam danny & tucker in the same scene together will more often than not end up in stand up comedy instead of angst#but god#GOD DO I WISH THERE WAS MORE OF THOSE THREE BEING DUMBASSES TOGETHER#like imagine them doing idk a heist together or smth#the panic the destruction the potential for reality defying bullshit#the ABSOLUTELY committed eco-terrorism off screen I know I was there#Sam was there bcs of obvious reasons and ended up organising an uprising#tucker was there bcs he’s always ready to commit crimes and stick it to the government#danny was there as moral support only and ended up on wanted lists of at least 7 countries#sam manson#tucker foley#danny fenton#danny phantom

When will the cruel mental illness be over...
#was feeling absolutely wretched last night after I showered so I decided to watch a Big Country concert from 1995#and not only was it ROUGH but I was also spoiled of some of BC's 'Why the Long Face?' songs and I was like#'oh no...this is what that album sounds like? so gratingly and unmistakeably '90s that they could've been by Alanis Morrisette#and I wouldn't have known the difference? ah. well...great. now I know how I'll feel about that album.' :| lol#(I actually do not intend shade toward Alanis btw. but surely anyone understands that by listening to even Jagged Little Pill it sounds#like there is no way those songs could've come from literally any other decade but the '90s. and that's what that BC album sounds like too#I'm betting. :/ which is disappointing tbh. although I liked ''I'm Not Ashamed''! but it too ended very '90s-ish and I was like 'dammit'...#well! now I know what order I'll listen to BC's last three albums in; saving WTLF for last...lol#also no watching the concert did not make me feel better and I didn't even finish it (but I was too tired to anyway)

The internet is amazing because if before the commoners and the wealthy were separated to such an extent they barely glimpsed into each other's lives, now we get to hear those well off in society complaining about cruises, vacations, fancy earphones, incomprehensibly expensive computer parts and niche pieces of equipment being expensive, while I need to weight my pasta to make sure it does indeed last for 7 meals rather than six so it's one less expense ""in the long run"", or wear trainers with a busted sole for months because shoes "are an unnecessary expense if these still work, no matter how much the rubber is snapping off", or eat like shit for an entire week because how dare I send 40€ on a second hand game instead of thinking off how many tuna cans, rice packs and vegetables that is. Or making groceries last so I can pay my pets' food.
#garrett.text#before you ask no I don't hate rich people#I'm not part of the hate them vause they're wealthy gang#I am part of hate them because they're wealthy AND detached gang#I follow rich people channels who go on cruises and give honest critiques of prices for the average person who can only go once a decade#if that much#those are chill#but good lord people complaining about bluetooth earphones being expensive#brother.#just buy them with a cord#you don't need Bluetooth earphones#you don't need airpods#how first world problems can you be?#and I say this as someone who lives in a country classified as a first world one#despite our minimum wage being one of the lowest in the EU while the rent is the highest in europe#maybe that's why I'm mad#seing tourists drink coffee three times more expensive than we drink and then complaining they gotta pay a one euro foreigner tax at the#hotel they're staying at fuck offfff

went on a bacon-hunting expedition into the city for the Gongcha collab and returned with the spoils of war! I didn't get any of the themed drinks, but instead picked some weird fringe-picks bc I had always been meaning to try them ever since my uni days was that really a decade ago... wow when I had to pass by it on my way to the bus home haha :')
reviewing my weird drinks under the cut; we're tasting the Honeydew Smoothie (the most normal), Wintermelon Tea Latte and their side-promo Sweet Corn Milk Tea! :D
Honeydew Smoothie: 8/10 tbh this is the most normal of the bunch because my usual Chatime order is always the honeydew milk tea so I know I'll love it! this one comes in a smoothie form which has unfortunately (mostly) melted in transit to become....... literally just my usual honeydew milk tea lmao :'D it DOES taste more honeydewy though! like there's more of the powder/syrup/whatever in there ratio-wise which is very nice, overall it was as good as expected :DD
Wintermelon Tea Latte: 5/10 ok so this one has a very subtle flavour compared to the strong honeydew lol, I can definitely taste the tea part but I'm not so sure where the wintermelon is yet... I think maybe drinking two melony drinks has made it hard to tell apart so I'm gonna sip the last one and come back to this lol EDIT: no ok it's still very subtle, it's there but not by much, so it mostly tastes like tea-infused milk which is a little disappointing! but oh well, it's still tasty and drinkable so that's a win haha
Sweet Corn Milk Tea: 2/10 now for the strangest of the bunch, I love corn but do I love it in a drink........ the answer is BOY HOWDY... maybe???? oh my god it really does taste like those powdered turtle corn chips in a way that I'm on the fence about; it's a VERY sweet and definitely powder-tasting flavour which I don't think I like in the end! .................after a bit more sipping, yeah this one is definitely a miss-- I think even with the option to add less sugar it would still taste iffy, it's the powder which just doesn't mix well with cold milk (mind you they DID have a hot option available which probably would have blended better, and would maybe remind me more of a nice thin corn soup instead of this weird weird beverage I have here in my hand lmao)... at least we can say we tried a corn-flavoured drink though!
#no keychains though bc AUS sucks and didn't get any (why did NZ tho)... also only one type of cup per store instead of all three#turned out to be a nice quick jaunt in the end-- caught all of my buses on time and drinks were out within 5mins!#the only perk of being in one of the country's tiniest capital cities....... still lots of codes left and almost no wait time even after 3p#what was not fun however was when the bus suddenly had a gigantic group of rowdy schoolboys pour in from all doors#can o' sardines in a way I am NOT comfortable with anymore after covid... put those kids back where they came from or so help me#a day in the life of kate#ffxiv#gongcha collab#taste with kate

(1/5 @infamous-if MC’s; more details here)
Alana Carita, lead singer of Promised Promises
Fans call themselves ‘The Promisers’ and call Soft Violence fans (especially those who were Alana or Alana/Seven fans) ‘Broken Promises’. (Alana has no idea about this, or she’d be heartbroken)
The mainstream calls her the ‘Mexican Taylor Swift’, which MOST of her fans hate, but some -- get it. (Alana thinks it’s flattering!)
She has been playing guitar most of her life, and used to post tutorials. She doesn’t as much any more. However, she does still have an online presence -- a lot of it is spent thanking fans, posting pictures about cookies native to places she’s toured, gushing over fashion, and supporting trans rights.
Her fans are SUPER over protective of her because they think she’s a ‘cinnamon roll too soft for the world; too pure’ and a ‘naive romantic (affectionate)’
She vocally sounds like a mix of Lindi Ortega (she’s actually done a cover of ‘To Love Somebody’ too that sounds similar) and Brandi Carlile.*
Her fans absolutely go gaga for her commitment to faerie tale and romantic aesthetics on stage (and for the camera); and are as dedicated to wearing something pink (or pastel) whenever Promised Promises performs. Some even wear flower crowns. Yes, even the chadbros.
There is no one in the world who can get her to bad mouth Seven. And she’s a supporter of Soft Violence. Much to many of the Promisers chargin. (As for the few who secrety the ship the two women and wish for a best friend reunion -- well, they’re smart enough to keep that to themselves. JK: They don’t but most try to ignore them. They’re seen as worse than the Broken Promisers).
#oc: alana carita#infamous if#meet my ocs#grapes chars#FIVE you say? -- fun fact i only wanted to do two or three#(shut up k)#also whether you're pro taylor swift or anti taylor swift - ion wanna hear nuffin#she's a thin and pretty girl with a guitar. people would take one look at at alana and make those comparisons. love it or hate it. we know#it is true#my infamous mcs#*also sound-wise the band does sound like lindi and brandi#'s stuff#so that worked out for alana#i think as they make it they'll probably lean more americana / indie-country but i think they'll keep their heritage ofc (just need to liste#n to more tejano that's not selena wereww lmao. so i can be sure)

Every now and then I remember the times I would mention to my flatmate that I was thinking of buying myself something reasonably expensive (that I had been eyeing up for months and had budgeted for) and she'd tell me that I shouldn't spend that much money on something I didn't need and it would be stupid etc etc while she regularly impulse bought things that cost at least as much and she would use once (while complaining that she was under a lot of financial stress and couldn't afford <$3/week for 2 months for a rental washing machine when ours broke). She is... perhaps not my first call for financial advice
#like I get that you're financially stressed but also it feels a bit rich to complain about it when you're on student allowance (not loan)#and your parents still contribute to things for you even though allowance is supposed to be for people whose parents can't afford to help#and you get multiple scholarships a year even though you're technically not eligible for half of them anymore but then as soon as the money#comes in from those you spend it all on a brand new dress for your sister's hen's do picnic because you can't wear the same dress as you#will for the actual hen's night or the wedding. Better buy a full price one at an expensive store instead of looking in a single op shop or#borrowing one from one of your three sisters who are all roughly the same size#god life must be so tough for you getting the same amount of money as the rest of us on student loan except you only have to pay back half#like the only money you have to live off is the same as what the rest of us get + scholarships (plural) plus what you earnt in your summer#internship? how could you possibly survive??#anyway I am NOT a fan of people who are like 'oh you say you have no money for rent but you have a phone?' because that's bullshit#and the whole 'millenials need to stop eating avocado toast so they can buy a house' thing is also bullshit#however. If you pay $60/week for a gym when you have access to the free uni one (or any other gym in the country is like $20)#and you buy uber eats multiple times a week for like $30+ each time despite having a premade meal in the fridge. and you get multiple#scholarships which mean you are arguably among the more well off students. AND you impulse buy things that cost over $100 regularly#then maybe the problem is not that you don't have enough money to split the rental costs of a washing machine (<$3 each/week)#maybe you are just bad with money#which is fine like it's not like it's unfixable it's just annoying when you act like you're worse off than people whose only money is what#they get from student loan each week so they eat beans on rice for dinner for a week#because that's all they could afford (yes I know people who did this. Yes she complained more than them)#so no I don't think I'm gonna be taking financial advice from you babes because one of us has entertained the idea of a budget to help with#finances and it's not you xx#(she turned down offers of financial help/advice/books to borrow from multiple people multiple times. I 100% get that you might not want to#talk to people about it especially your friends but we had multiple books on finances lying around the flat which she always said she didn't#need. And then she'd continue to complain that she didn't have enough money#god forbid you suggest something like going to a cheaper gym (or worse. The perfectly fine free uni gym!)#again. Her gym cost $60/week for most of last year until they brought in a student discount which was 'only' $45/week#the next most expensive gym chain I can find costs maybe $30/week for the highest membership level#to get what she was getting she would only need like a $20 membership#BUT to be fair she wouldn't get such strong culty vibes at any other gym#lol anyway sorry for the rant. I could keep going but apparently you can only have 30 tags and this is the last one

#i feel like. um. tours go where the audience is#and uh. perhaps. just a theory. two english speaking youtubers are going to have a larger audience#in western counties and especially english speaking countries#they even only have two shows in the very south of canada#wait dam ni did not know canada's population is TEN times less than the USA. that explains a lot#anyways i was just getting to the point that they definitely have dedicated fans all over the world who would love to see them#and they know that#but they have to consider whether they're going to have 50 people in a theatre or 500#and if they're going to be forcing those 50 people to travel great distances or 500 ppl who live right next door y'know#to be quite frank despite the rennassiance i'd say they're still less popular than at the II era#damn WAD had SIX canada shows something's up with that.... maybe it's just bigger venues#seems like WAD has a lot more shows in a lot of places but i did compare the venues in my area and the TIT one is 2.5x bigger#anyways yeah my own example. i'm not sure if i'll go. even tho i'm watchign them again i'm not a Fan like i was back in 2020#damn THREE shows in florida that's insane. why#but yeah even looking at the USA map there's nothing in the northern midwest#i'm sure there are at least 10 phannise in montana who are scrimping and scraping to travel to washington right now#but the fact of the matter is the northern midwest is the most sparsly populated area of the USA#so it just won't pay off to travel there - even tho the % phannie is probably the same as the rest of the USA#the population is low enough multiply by that % = too few people!#and on the europe map we can see they're only going to northern europe#they're not even going to france or spain#now i'm not an expert in europe but i am under the impression that northern europeans speak more english#so more of them will be fans of english-lanuage dnp#and tbh i think the reason they haven't said anything is um. that they expected people to know this.#dnp#also um. ppl talking about this in context of latin america and asia um there's another big continent missing: africa.#but nobody seems concerned about that one because nobody expects there to be dnp fans there#so like people must understand this to some degree#also if dan lost money on WAD it makes sense they'd be more conservative booking venues#it's entirely reasonable to be heartbroken ofc just saying this bc i saw ppl say The Only Possible Reason is racism

I always get Feelings when I, a hairy little wasian thing, go into the K-pop merch store for my sticker hunt when it borderline fetishizes/cherry pick asianess to curate it to an aesthetic vision rampant with colorism
#is this really what Korea is to you..#I mean the country itself did this whole rebranding to appeal to occidental standards#so team effort I guess#and I would say Japan and china suffers the same treatment#but let’s not forget how those are three countries amongst forty eight#(according to the un)#and that I hope this is not the only vision of Asia people r having#ade rambles

something very funny and kinda annoying is that the acronym for my university is the exact same as the acronym for the college that nearly everyone in my hometown ended up going to. and these are on different continents
#whenever i see those three letters in the bio of any of my friends from high school i do a double take#bc my instant reaction is like huh??? you ALSO moved across the atlantic???#but yeah i was one of literally 2 ppl in my graduating class who went abroad and. the other one went to canada lol.#shows how much usamericans hate anything not american. bc out of 625 ppl only 2 of us left the country#and i grew up in a VERY international area??? which makes this even weirder idk. but my school system growing up was VERY anti-study abroad#like we were constantly pushed to do either in-state or ivy. those were our options lmao#my school admin dragged their feet so much when i said i wanted to leave the country i literally had to get my parents involved#bc they were like ‘no you should go in-state’ ‘but i don’t want to’ ‘well we don’t want to give your transcript to another country’ sigh.#anyway. i have a lot of issues with the US public school system but this is so funny to me#michi.txt
