so i've been learning how to draw/sketch & paint using watercolor lately, and if there's one thing i've learned about myself so far is that i am so goddamn impatient 😭

Transcript below the cut:

Atlas: No.

Asher: Atlas, c’mon, at least think about it. Atlas: There’s nothing to think about. It’s too much.

Asher: Well, we’re running out of options, and you know they’d be happy to help. Atlas: That’s not the point.

Asher: [breathless] If this is about your pride or some shit… Atlas: It’s not. I’ve already agreed to move in with them to save money. I’m not asking them for a loan on top of it.

Asher: It’s an interest free loan. Vendor: Can I help you? Asher: Yes, can I get six of these frozen peaches, please?

Atlas: Interest free or not, it’s a loan that we don’t know how, or when, or even IF, we’d be able to repay. Asher: [sighs, defeated] Fuck. No, you’re right, we can’t do that.

...

Atlas: There’s no way our storage unit is going to hold all this furniture. I can probably sell the couch. And maybe the bed too since you already have one there. Asher: You don’t have to. My parents are clearing out a room upstairs for you.

Atlas: Why? Asher: Because I know it’s not going to be easy for you living with so many people. The house will never be empty, so I wanted to make sure you have your own space in case you need time alone.

Atlas: … Asher: What? Is that okay?

Atlas: I love you.

Asher: [laughs] We’re never gonna finish packing if we keep taking breaks. Atlas: You’re the one always telling me it’s important to take breaks. Asher: Hmm. Good point.

the problem with taz balance is that half of the things that make me want to recommend it to people are major spoilers that will fundamentally change the listening experience

Most Sherlock Holmes adaptations I've seen tend to place their Final Problem towards the mid point of the series (or even a bit earlier) - it's also in my opinion the best way of going about it, so you have time enough for the characters to adjust after the reunion but they know each other well enough for the events of Fina to be devastating.

Sherlock & Co is done with 20 of the adventures. How many are there? Fifty-something? Almost sixty? Let's say we'll be entering mid-point territory after the 25th story.

So let's pretend for a moment that we have 5 more stories until The Final Problem. Ok.

Estimating an adventure at 3 episodes each, that would mean little over 3 months - maybe 3 and a half? Starting, of course, from the end of Sign of Four, which will be somewhere in December.

So let's say 3, maybe 4 months into 2025. That would be, what? Late march, early april?

Early april?

John having to tell the listeners that Sherlock is dead, in early april?

Quick calendar search reveals what I was praying it would - the 1st of april will be on a Tuesday next year.

So what I'm saying

What I'm saying is Sherlock &Co has the opportunity to do the funniest fucking thing

JKLASJFDK Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisten. Listen listen listen. If Som and Sol from "Like Mother, Like Daughter" don't confirm AT LEAST one of them has feelings for each other....I might implode.

And like it's very likely it won't and I'm being baited but ohhhhhhhh my gooooooooooooood. TT0TT The toxic "I will kill for you, even if it's your own mother" yuri vibes coming from Som is just *chef's kiss* (think of it as a practice run for your own mama Som kfdlsjaflk) The author is killing me.

Likeeeee

Excuse me???? Your honor! Please! TT0TT They just say shit like this. How can I not see some them through a biiit of a romantic lens???? (this was probs the chapter where I was like "yup I def ship them, I'm done for TT0TT")

Like "flirty"!! "FLIRTY" YOUR HONOR!

Pleasee! Please put their asses together and let them be happy! TT0TT

(Or at least confirm it's doomed toxic Yuri, I'll take the validation where I can get it!)

YOU 🫵 tell me your favorite zombie movie(s)

[mellowdarkness]

Actually I've moped around enough about her. She didn't even fucking call me on my birthday. Why would I even want to be with someone who cares so little about me that she wouldn't take 5 minutes out of her day to call her boyfriend?

This cold, empty apartment may be making me miserable, but I'll not stoop so low as to beg for her recognition... I deserve more than this, fuck's sake! Who the hell does she think she is?

I can do better, I know I can find someone who loves me and who won't be afraid to tell me as much! Someone who won't hide behind avoidant behaviour like she did, and she'll never even know what she missed out on.

The Powerpuff Problem

See the thing with Powerpuff Girls is for four seasons it's like this:

"Oh, our hit kids show isn't that weird. I mean sure, it's a show that stars adorable little girls that are so unapologetically violent that there's blood in the intro and even some episodes..."

"OH GOD, aliens are invading! And even worse - THEY'RE BROCCOLI!"

"...they fight a zombie magician, we do a mecha episode whilst simultaneously mocking the mecha genre, one of the main recurring villains is straight up Satan..."

"Oh I'm sorry, did you wanna go on vacation? Too bad, your absence will mean the end of society as you know it. Everyone you know is either miserable, insane, or dead, and they all blame you! Did I mention you're five?"

"...in fact we have another one called Sedusa...now that I think about it we put a lot of innuendos in this actually..."

"Hey. Hey Craig. Hey Craig I wanna do a double length episode where the stars of this children's show say "dick" over and over again, is that cool? Great...also I'm giving it one of the darkest endings we've ever done k byyyyyyyyyyyyye."

"...b-but there's cute stuff too! There's a fun episode where the girls play inside on a rainy day, there's one where they get turned into cute little puppies, there's one where they sing about love to save the day, there's one where they eat candy which we use as a way to tackle the subject of addiction-wait..."

"Let's do our own take on Frankenstein! Can it have a sudden downer ending that will scar a generation of kids? Sure, f*ck it!"

"...OK maybe it's pretty weird. But being unique is good! That's part of what our show's all about - it's unusual to see little girls being the ones who kick butt, but they're characters young girls deserve to see, and characters EVERYONE can be inspired by. Now let's watch the movie that came out less than a year after 9/11 where the heroes destroy a city that totally doesn't resemble NYC!"

Then the last two are just...

"OK, who wet the bed?"

"So in this episode these usually kickass heroines are forced to quietly ask a criminal to leave their house, with noooooo onscreen fighting whatsoever... don't worry the kids will love it!"

"...and then all the characters sing about how they should all get along. The End! All of them? Yep. Even the villains? Yep. Even Him? Yep. With no bait-and-switch joke where all the villains immediately go back to their old ways? Correct!"

"OK, so like...crying. We make can make 11 minutes out of that, right?"

"Let's bring back the Rowdyruff Boys, not just for a rematch, but permanently! OK! What do you want them to do? Graffiti, rob and beat up people for fun, property damage, stuff like that. Don't the Gangreen Gang do that stuff already? I guess. So what will THEY do? Eh I dunno turn them into simps for an episode. Anyway, wouldn't it be cool if 2 out of the 6 appearances the RRB make after being revived never actually happened?"

"Yes of course we need multiple close-up shots of the sunburnt, bulging skin of three five-year-old girls. Yes of course we have to show it peeling off towards the end! How else are we gonna teach kids to use sunscreen? Could you tell this episode was part of the Chris Savino era?"

"Hey is it just me or is the pacing of our newer episodes kinda...slow? What do you mean? They're fin-zzzzzzzzzzzz-"

Sukuna and Gojo didn't have the right to be such good characters, but there they are I guess

[bookwyrminspiration]

sat down like okay. gotta be serious for a second to figure out this kink in my story. it might be annoying, it might take some effort, but it's crucial for the end result. and then 30 seconds in I realized I'd actually worked it out a few days ago

do you ever feel casually suicidal? like you're not depressed or anything you're doing fine but also it feels like a convenient option
