This team is freaking iconic!! Flyers hockey is so back baby!!

This one is a treat! I usually miss cute moments but instead I got my two favorite large children playing on the playground passing the puck. It’s kinda jerky cause I was following the puck.

I don't even wanna put this out there but if Big Z and Dak don't come back I don't think I'll ever be the same

Okay so Allentown, Pennsylvania (it's two hours away from me) has a highschool called Whitehall High, in the Whitehall-Coplay District (Coplay, pronounced "Cop-ly," maybe?, is a town adjacent to or a suburb of Allentown). Their mascot is the Zephyr, some old train that was specifically important to the area at one time.

I like this. All schools need to do this. Get a mascot that is specific to YOU, and the area's history. No more stupid Wildcats or Vikings or Mustangs or whatever, you lazy bastards. This school has a cool train with a cool name as their mascot.

And they just unveiled the costume for it, that they paid some company in California a lot of money to develop.

And it is my new favorite thing ever.

Ladies and gentlemen and fellow queers, meet "Big Z":

No, this isn't a bit from Community or Arrested Development. This is...Big Z.

This link has video. You don't understand. You NEED to see this. Things like this happen every day in our world, but only rarely are they captured on camera. And thank God when they are.

People in the local area are REAL mad about this. That a lot of money was spent on this, and the results are...well! And sure, I understand why. I mean, I see it, too. It's...Big Z.

But where is your sense of whimsy? Of childlike delight? Of snarky ironic smugness?

I don't care what Allentown thinks. I still love you, Big Z. You and your big bucket train face.

(Also, the fact that the name of the district has a word that is one letter off from being the word "cosplay" is one of those quirks of reality that makes life so much fun. Fun, like Big Z.)

Noticing the deeper messages that the authors where trying to teach us as children.

Always wondered why I was so attached to this one as a kid.

some relatable quotes (and why)

so i wanted to make a post about some quotes from anime/movies/cartoons that relate to me in a way. there is a lot, to be honest, so for now i'll only put a few. who knows, i might do a part 2 and songs next. if you have any quotes you relate to, feel free to comment them!

now that i look over this....i realized it looks more like a vent post due to me adding why the quote is relatable in parenthesis... shit-

I don't understand why everybody has to be so judgmental. ...."Hey, Cody's just a bum." "Cody's this," "Cody's that," "Cody's this." Cody's me, bro. Let me be me. When is that going to start? ~Cody Maverick, Surf's up (constantly being compared to others, told i should be like this or more like that)

I, am on, *so* much migraine medication you have no idea... The stress is killing me. I dunno how much longer I can last, I have to tell you that right now! ~Mikey Abromowitz, Surf's up (i have chronic migraines; stress makes it worse)

No joy, man. No joy...Fail. ~Big Z, Surf's up (me after telling myself "i'ma have a good day" and it ends up being shit)

Mikey, why don't you head on over to the snack bar and get yourself a big bowl of shut up? ~Reggie Belafonte, Surf's up (me when i am not in a good mood and people make it worse. me when someone pisses me off then tries to make me laugh)

heh heh, this place sucks, bro. ~Cody Maverick, Surf's up (me at school, me at home, me at the store, me in any sort of inconvenient/annoying place)

i promote happiness! can you see the happiness emanating from me!? what's wrong with you? ~Reggie Belafonte, Surf's up (me looking in the mirror when i am one minor inconvenience away from absolutely losing my shit)

*sigh.* why is it that whenever i'm having fun, it's wrong? ~Squidward, Spongebob (me. just me)

what are those neanderthals doing?.... ~Squidward, Spongebob (me with my nosy neighbors, me at the store and people are acting absolutely RIDICULOUS)

too bad that didn't kill me. ~Squidward, Spongebob (me, with just anything)

i hate all of you. ~Squidward, Spongebob (me after i graduated in 2023)

well, it wouldn't be the first time you ruined everything. ~Squidward, Spongebob (me when my family just can't get along, younger me with my little brother 'cause my father always favored him)

wake me up when i care. ~Squidward, Spongebob (me when my little brother constantly woke me up for the damn nintendo wii (i wanted to do what Squidward did when he bashed his head into the register, but to a table or wall instead))

why am i always the one handing out apologies? ~Shippo, Inuyasha (was blamed for everything; grew a habit of apologizing for everything)

...nothing i could've gained was worth losing her. nothing at all. ~Sesshomaru, Inuyasha (i lost my grandma in january of 2021)

i want you to be happy. i want you to laugh a lot. i don't know what i'll be able to do for you, but i'll always be by your side. ~Kagome, Inuyasha (me to my best friend who i've known and been friends with since 2018)

people like you… are the reason why people like me need medication. ~Inuyasha, Inuyasha (many people in the world, and many types of people, are driving me up a fucking wall)

i just don't like giving up, there's a difference! ~Inuyasha, Inuyasha (i refuse to give up on something/someone that means so much to me, unless i absolutely have a good reason (even then, a part of me still wants to refuse giving up))

i can't be at peace until i find out the truth. Sailor Mercury, Sailor Moon (there are a lot of things happening in my family, as it was split in half when i was very young. one side says this, the other side says that. i'm in constant turmoil trying to figure out who is and who isn't lying. it feels like the equivalent of being ripped apart)

18 quotes, and now my fingers are cramped T^T they'll only cramp more when i add the tags.
