#better score

[egophiliac]

HEY guess who's being completely normal about episode 7 :)

anyway it sure ain't me, so I made myself a baby Malleus! I used the single-headed version of Choly Knight's hydra pattern (link will be in replies ↓↓↓) as a base, and just messed with some of the pieces to make him more Mall-y. including sewing all those little claw pieces, then pinning them on and realizing I actually liked him better without them...oh well. to heck with accuracy, I want stubby little dragon legs!

unfortunately, he doesn't photograph very well, especially his forehead scales (they're there! I promise!) (they're made of glitter HTV so they are actually SPARKLY in real life, yet apparently they come out completely invisible in photos, woe). but he is super cuddly and soft so I'm happy with him! just as in canon, he is a product of LOVE. :>

let's drive out

Yeah Roy was Jamie’s special interest (affectionate) before he met him but I don’t think we talk enough about the fact that Jamie got on Roy’s nerves so immediately and completely that he was Roy’s special interest (derogatory) since before Ted showed up and certainly long before Roy was a coach or intentionally spent time with him

Like I’m imagining later on when Roy and Jamie are still in their he’s not my best friend phase, Jamie finds some big fan made how much do you know about Jamie Tartt quiz and sending it to the team group chat to telling everyone to do it and send their scores

Roy assumes it must be a super easy quiz and common knowledge so he doesn’t really think anything of it when he responds with a screenshot of his like 95% and it calling him a Jamie Tartt super fan with “I’m going to kill myself.” But he responded too soon to realize that it is in fact not the super easy quiz he assumed it was until the team starts responding with way lower scores

Like they’ve got varying levels of passing knowledge but no one even remotely competes with Roy or gets labelled a superfan in their results including Keeley who Jamie sent it to separately (she knew lots and got higher than most people but like she absolutely does not know or care about his stats and shit like that and she hasn’t watched all of his interviews to hear all of the stuff on there) and including Jamie who sends back his 85% with “how THE FUCK did u score higher than i did???”

And Roy is incredulous like “How did you not know the answers? This whole quiz is about you” and Jamie’s like “u expect me to remember everything that ever happens to me and everything ive ever said???” And Jan responds “Apparently Roy does”

And basically the entire team never lets Roy live his Jamie Tartt super fan status and knowing more about Jamie than Jamie does down and Roy deeply regrets not waiting for other people to respond before he sent anything/faking worse results

the dj playing cha cha cha during a break in the finland-sweden ice hockey world championships game sure makes me feel things

I think my favorite wwx misconception/unreliable narrator moment is when he's watching nieyao fall apart during the empathy sequence and the entire time he's like wow... jin guangyao is SO smooth. He's completely manipulated nie mingjue he's sososoooo good at dealing with him. And then you look at the actual situation and literally NOTHING is going like how jgy wants it to go.

Like. Even after the stairs. Wei Wuxian is like "wow jin guangyao knows exactly how to get nmj to do what he wants" and the jin guangyao in question. Is standing there. Literal days after getting kicked down a flight of stairs. By Nie Mingjue. Outwardly blank but inwardly ripping his own hair out like god FUCKING dammit i'm done. I can't do this anymore. Literally nothing else has worked the only solution left is murder. And wwx is like "he's totally in control of this situtation" it's so fucking funny he sees the most basic display of deescalation skills and his mind is fucking blown 🤯 he didn't know people could do that!

drunk in the car after getting her bones looked at

[tremendouskoalachild]

you can say the review bombers, outrage youtubers and right-wing grifters didn't "really" cause the cancellation but you can't expect them not to be emboldened by it. it's gonna be so much worse if lucasfilm ever bothers to have another black lead, queer creator, or poc cast and you know it

[the-girl-down-the-street]

‘average fangirl’ oh sorry i didn’t realise i wasn’t allowed to feel bad for a driver after they just had a really bad crash and their team principle has gone straight to the media saying how all of their (ILLEGAL!!!) upgrades have been ruined because of him instead of saying the driver is okay and not even a day after it happened there’s talks of replacing him

[hazbinshusk]

look, take you want from apology tour, but I choose to focus on the fact that blitzø's dick game is just that GOOD

I got Leeloo when she was seven weeks old. The owner lied, or miscounted, and I got her a week too young. She was pretty well adjusted for all that, feisty and fierce as a kitten. I got her right as my ex and I were splitting. She was only a month or two old when we broke up. It was pretty wretched, finals week at college, both of us heart sore, and then we both came down with the mother of all coughs.

He was sleeping on the couch. I offered to share my cough suppressant and he set it on the table. We weren’t used to having a kitten under foot yet.

I was brushing my teeth when I glanced out the door and saw one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen, my beloved kitten on her side seizing, the pill capsule punctured and empty beside her. He burst into panicked tears when I shouted and I practically shook him to get in the car while routing to an emergency vet.

We sat clutching each others hands in the waiting room. Neither of us had known who would get the kitten in the breakup. But sitting there, both of us sobbing, he said it should be me. The doctor told us she had a fifty fifty shot of pulling through. She’d almost asphyxiated, her tongue was blue when we’d gotten her in the door.

After what felt like centuries they came out and said she’d made it. She was going to live.

It was only a few months later that I noticed her not walking around. She barely played anymore. I took her to the vet again and they said she was just constipated and didn’t follow up. Another pestering a week later led to closer examination of her X-rays. Turns out, the asphyxiation had led to a very narrow blood vessel leading to the head of her femur dying. So her bone had snapped off in the joint.

Horrified at the amount of pain she must have been in I got her in for surgery to remove the bone fragment. In a human we’d stop being able to walk, but cats have enough muscle to overcome a simple thing like lacking the ball for their ball and socket joint.

The surgery was a shit show. They called me after putting her under anesthesia and cutting her up open only to realize they were missing a tool. Then they sent her home with an open wound instead of stitches and I had to bring her back yet again to go under and get stapled shut. Then they tried to charge me for all their fuck ups while I was already sobbing over vet bills.

I had a loft bed at the time. Usually she climbed a cat tree to join me in bed at night but after her surgery I made a nest on the ground so I could cuddle with her every night. Her dopey little face looking at me from her cone was worth my back hurting every day.

I felt so bad watching her try to eat with a cone that I hand fed her every meal. To this day she’ll go sit by the food dishes, looking at me longingly to remind me of my little nest on the ground where I’d hand fed her.

That was a decade ago. But she still remembers.

Today I got her new medicine for her horrible cough, fretting about her lungs collapsing. I lovingly rolled each pill and brought them to her an hour early because I couldn’t stand having medicine on hand that I wasn’t giving her.

It was only after she’s happily eaten her pill pockets that I remembered the pills saying to give them with food. So I walked back upstairs and stood beside the cat bed while she ate from my hand again, and when she was done she looked at me with love. Because she doesn’t feel good but I’m still here to hand feed her.

The almost-kiss from episode 5, but with Xander Rodzinski’s full score instead of it cutting into Crimson and Clover at the end

Doodled some Cult of the Lamb while waiting for my brother to finish the testing we were doing!

I generally find Rotten Tomatoes pretty helpful, except when it comes to lesbian comedies, because boy don't they like those! Let's look at some of the ones I've enjoyed over the years.

Okay, at least that last one managed to (barely) get a certified fresh, but isn't there anything you like?

Sure, but that's practically a drama. What about the sheer silly stuff with no deep angst?

Ah, there you go! (Ignore the audience score.)

I am allergic to the word "success". I have been ever since middle school, when it was plastered all over the planners the school gave us.

Screw success. Try for contentment.

Woke up, thought about how the literal last play of Alex Morgan's career was to assist a rookie's first ever NWSL goal in the 13th minute, seconds before taking off her cleats and walking off the field for the last time, laid back down again
