if we're mutuals and i see you posting about how you're struggling or that things are tough or you're just plain tired, know i am simultaneously willing for the situation to improve, wanting to hug you and tell you 'it will get better', and planning the demise of whoever is causing you grief
i may not know you but dammit if i'm not rooting for you

guess whose super magpie brain forgets stuff in the washer all the damn time and has to wash it again before it dries?
guess who never liked the washer/dryer or their set-up in the house they bought but there wasn't anything really wrong enough with it to spend money on it?
guess whose washing machine broke? (for unrelated reasons, the 1st thing is hard on water bills and clothes, not so much the machine)
guess who now has a new washer/dryer combo which fits better and will dry things on its own?

Went swimming and ripped off my fingernail on a rock. However the water was delightful A+ would recommend. All the prompt fills I have waiting will be swimming prompts. Maybe. Probably not.
There was a dead seal on the beach. A shark (or something) had taken a chomp of him and he washed up. I went in the water anyway. Brave af, someone give me a treat.

A Poll
#I read the tumblr help notes#i looked at youtube videos#i wandered over to reddit forums#but i couldn't find a poll icon anywhere on tumblr#because i am old#and also because my post editor was from the stone age#and it didn't have a poll icon#but now I have a shiny new post editor...#however I am still old

#the way i screamed#the way I sat straight up#and hurt my back#because I am old#the alarm is back to#‘Spring 1 (2022)

i hope everyone in nintendo’s management department dies and goes to hell no matter what and i’m not kidding
#WERE LOSING YUZU AND CITRA. I DONT KNOW IF YOU ALL UNDERSTAND HOW INSANE THIS IS#game emulation enables piracy yes but it’s also an INCREDIBLY powerful archival tool.#there are plenty of games out there that only exist in their original formats due to emulation.#this lawsuit has HORRIBLE implications for video game history. it makes it incredibly easy for companies to scorched earth their products#if they’re not profitable enough. ART IS GOING TO BE LOST BECAUSE OF THIS. GAMES PEOPLE WORKED INCREDIBLY HARD ON#it won’t just happen to bad games. it won’t just happen to old games. they will use this to keep their remake/virtual console model going#forever and you will never be able to play your favorite games in their true original forms ever again.#i am fucking INSANELY mad rn. capitalism is the death of art fr#personal

i wanted to try drawing older Mabel and Dipper !
#gravity falls#mabel pines#dipper pines#artists on tumblr#tbob#not gonna lie im not too sold on these designs so i may change things later if i ever wanna draw them again#i was looking at their old character designs and concept art for inspiration#mabel lowkey looks like a fashion mess but! i think its in character so whatevvsss#also firm believer that they both have glasses. mabel doesnt wear contacts bc she likes fun frames + contacts are too uncomfortable for her#dipper doesnt wear contacts because hes too busy for contacts and he can never put them in right#also took some insp from kristen schaal. alex hirsch. ariel hirsch. jason ritter for them too#also. i know dipper is shown to be a STEM-y kid but i firmly am a believer hes a STEM enjoyer in the service of art. like the fanfiction#writer thats studies physics or chemistry to get a certain detail right or something. or the entire futurama writers room lol#like i do think he wants to make documentaries or shows abt the supernatural or whatever#and mabel helps out with the adventuring :)#kind of like buzzfeed unsolved in the golden era of youtube#turtlearts

thinking about Simon who just gets out of prison for murder after he's been locked up since he was 18, and starts working at a slaughterhouse for his parole. a big, scary dog who has bloodstains all over him, permanently crusted in the crease of his nails because he prefers field dressing over dragging the carcass inside the shop. who always smells of iron and sweat, and looms over you like he was trying to keep everyone else from looking at you. possessive, but you only know him from rumours and blog posts. his stare, the intense, hungry way he looks at you always gives you the creeps.
he's bad news. and he tries to woo you by feeding you meat from the animals he butchered (getting angry whenever you buy cuts from someone else), and won't go away even when you tell him to leave you alone. you've heard the rumours. read the news articles. nothing about this man is any good—
but he won't, of course. the thing about prison is that you need to hold onto the things that you have and take the stuff that you don't. a sort of cutthroat survival that has raised him better than his own mother. so, when he finds you (something he doesn't have, but wants), it's just in his nature to take.
#i just#want him him covered in old rotting blood and sweat stains that turn his shirts offwhite#the two mixing into a grisly black smear along his collar and tummy where he wipes his sticky bloodsoaked fingers on during the day#simon riley x reader#ghost x reader#im a “if Simon's not in the military hes either a butcher or in jail” truther#this will also have implied cannibalism because of who i am as a person#ghost drabbles

did yall know cricut put a metal strip in the back of their newer Maker 3 that doesn't do anything except pop out after like six months of regular use and force you to call customer service so they can tell you to replace the machine
well they did and instead of calling them and replacing an entire functional fucking machine you can just cut the bar out and put tape over what's left
fuck offfff,
#why are you so mad all the time aria#i don't know probably because i am trying to run a business in 2024 where all my options are absolute dogshit proprietary equipment#anyway this one is new less than a year old and this is the SECOND thing that's broken on it#lee Inherited my old one#that printed thousands of stickers and other shit and is still functioning perfectly to cut fabric for them#this is the exact same model but With New Upgrades :)#because my old one ran so long they don't make it any more#i'm so irritated today jfccccc

Being on the nostalgia train this week really helped stretching my artistic legs again. So here, have some old things and some new! For now I'm done with this.
#naruto#team 7#kakashi hatake#dai nana han#listen I seldomly think about naruto but when I do it is only with a fix it mindset so there is always time travel involved#this was fun! overpainting old things is always the most easy for me if I haven't drawn in months#but I am also done with posting that stuff because one. made me draw other things two. there are some.. dedicated naruto fans#and I look into my ask box and go 'haha - hell no'#which kinda does kill the joy#which is WEIRD because isn't it old by now?? shouldn't things be... less intense ppfpfpf#on the other hand I got some lovely comments and stuff so <3#thank you alllll

Many gravity falls fans, circa 2016: OH MY GOD WHY DID MABEL HAND OVER THE RIFT. SHE'S SO DUMB, SHE'S THE WORST, WHY WOULD SHE EVEN DO THAT?! MABEL'S NOT A GOOD PERSON!
Alex Hirsch, circa 2024: **deep inhale**
SHE'S A CHILD OF IMPENDING DIVORCE AND IS GONNA HAVE TO GO BACK TO THAT
#People hated on mabel for YEARS because she (a child) made one irrational choice without us knowing why she did it. WELL YOU KNOW NOW.#ARE YOU HAPPY? SATISFIED? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?#Yes I am a Mabel apologist. 12 year olds are allowed to be dumb and irrational and make bad choices. Thats the whole point of middle school.#gravity falls#mabel pines#book of bill#book of bill spoilers#gf spoilers#bob spoilers#spoilers

people make fun of the "oh you only hate her because she's a WOMAN" crazy feminist mentality but yeah actually you guys do only hate her because she's a woman a lot of times. for every hated female tv character there's ten male tv characters who are a million times worse and still given at least the "intriguing morally grey character" treatment if not straight up praise. for every hated female celebrity in real life there's one hundred famous men who have done worse and don't get half the hate she does. for every hated female politician, for every hated female historical figure, for the women you know in real life and on and on.
#sansa stark skyler white siobhan roy betty draper#rachel zegler and amber heard and courtney love and these little tiktok celebrities#and many other such cases#like why am i seeing a thinkpiece on how intriguing of a character ramsay bolton is and then a thinkpiece from the same person#on how a naive 13 years old girl is satan reincarnated because she made one big mistake she couldn't foresee the consequences of#and immediately regretted and learned from it and devoted her life to making it right as much as she could#radblr
