Things I wish women were learning from true crime podcasts: how to spot early warning signs of abusive relationships, how to escape abusive relationships, how easily domestic violence can escalate to murder, how incredibly unlikely it is to be the victim of a crime done by a complete random stranger as opposed to friends and family
What women are learning from true crime podcasts: I am in CONSTANT danger and every day I survive without being murdered by a serial killer is a miracle. I should react to everyone I meet with distrust and paranoia and live my life as if I am in mortal peril and if anyone suggests that might not be healthy then they just don't understand what it is to Be A Woman In Today's Society
#I'm about to get heavily downvoted on reddit lmao#for suggesting that it is in fact irrational to look under your car every time you approach it#bc you think someone might be lying under it waiting to slash your ankles#like cmon. that was an old urban legend when i read it on snopes 20 years ago#anyway i can't stand the like. culture of fear among certain women#and the way it's presented as being an inherent part of womanhood that EVERY woman performs

Ignore my previous post. My favorite character isn't Homelander anymore - it's this guy.
I'm so serious.
I've rewatched this scene about a dozen times now simply because I get a kick out of seeing 'Homelander' moving so freely / fluidly. Don't get me wrong, I love how composed the real Homelander is (almost) all the time. Hands behind his back, sometimes on his hips if he's feeling really sassy. . .
But I tend to draw him in some very exaggerated poses ( flaunting some pretty out-there color palettes ) so getting to see an iteration of him moving so animatedly while wearing this delighted me on what can only be described as a primal level.
#Smarty Watches The Boys (S4)#This is not to say that Toni Starr's performance *isn't* animated#He's extremely expressive - It's one of the core reasons why I love HL as much as I do. But . . .#Homelander's flying can look a bit stiff at times#and then we have this guy on screen for less than four minutes and he's gliding around so smmmmooooth#. . . It scratched a very specific part of my brain just the right way. I DON'T KNOW.#I am not immune to Eric Kripke jingling car keys in front of my face. I ate this up.#If this is how people felt during the musical number in the last season - I apologize. I get it now.

@orangerosebush's post here, with my comment and @fowlblue's tags today got me thinking.
Artemis Senior has been teaching his son matters of business from a young age. Not only was Artemis, at 11 years old, discussing stocks with his father, but Fowl Senior had been imparting his wisdom onto his son for years by that point, discussing the ever-increasing value of gold with him before tucking him into bed. Even outside of pure monetary value, Sr. had tried to go legitimate with his business dealings, leading Artemis to have a few legal ventures of his own.
We also see very early on in the books that Artemis has been regularly using Butler as a resource for his plots: bouncing ideas off him was apparently a fairly common tactic when he was scheming.
Both Artemis Senior and Butler are interested in (or at least, not opposed to) educating Artemis on the ways of their lifestyle(s). It would be Artemis Senior who would have taught his son the value of banks and safety deposit boxes and hidden safes but it was Butler who was actively working with Artemis to rob those safety deposit boxes.
In the same vein of breaking-and-entering, TLC also gives us the fun little moment where Butler hands Artemis his own lockpicks, to get into the workings of the bomb.
With one line we learn that Artemis knows how to pick locks, but does not have his own set of lockpicks. Butler, on the other hand, has both the tools and knowledge how to use them. Partnered with a brief mention in TTP of some the specific trades of those previously employed by Artemis Senior (including such things as crime lords, insider traders, and cat burglars), we can extrapolate that Artemis Senior would generally hire someone to pick a lock for him, rather than do so himself.
It's pretty logical to conclude then that Artemis learned big-picture management from his father, and day-to-day skillsets from his bodyguard.
Essentially, Artemis Senior taught Artemis how to run a criminal empire. Butler taught Artemis how to be a criminal.
#artemis fowl#artemis senior#domovoi butler#and this doesn't even get into the aliases butler has!#he clearly has a lot of his own but then Artemis ALSO gets some#'what's our cover' 'i thought Stephan Baskir and his uncle Constantin'#Artemis Sr put his own damn name on the boat he was using to get cola to russia#you know damn well *he* didn't encourage Arty to hide his identity#(i'm not getting into the needs of artemis to hide his identity due to being a child and wanting respect afforded an adult in these tags#that's a rant for a different time)#there's such a prevalent theme of a Fowl saying 'i want X' and their Butler saying 'i know a guy'#(like 80% of the time the Butler would be The Guy but there's that other 20% where having extra contacts would be helpful)#we see it when Artemis asks Butler to make certain arrangements for capturing Holly and then again getting the mirrored contacts#we see Butler arranging car rentals or drivers and apparently needing to do so quite frequently#yet in TTP Sr just says he'll casually take a limousine where he needs to go#it's probably such a huge part of the Fowl-Butler dynamic to have someone who can actually perform all the necessary minutiae of daily crim#or at least know how to or know someone who knows how to#aaaaand now i'm thinking of how the Butlers are essentially disposable#sure death is a thing but how many Butlers were imprisoned for the sake of saving their Fowl the same fate#if someone's gotta take the fall for a crime it might as well be the person who'd take a bullet for the other#once you've already agreed to be on the wrong side of the law and accepted that you may give up your life (physically) for someone#what's taking it a step further and agreeing to give up your life (metaphorically) by languishing in jail for 10-80 yrs

all gmmtv shows are actually set in a subtle alternate universe where everyone is continuously fascinated & delighted by their printers
#drinks deodorant inhalers cars. sure whatever#but those hamfisted canon ads (the printer company not the fandom word) always get to me the most#let's stop everything for thirty seconds to adoringly stare at our printer together! 🤩 look! 😮 it's so easy to refill!!! 🥰#< this is just fjkdfd. such a normal human way to behave. not weird at alllll. this is part of my daily bedtime routine actually#and then there's the sort of closeup usually reserved for big emotional moments but. sorry if this sounds harsh. that printer can't act#VERY flat performance. colorful as it may be it's paper thin#*#mama gogo#is the show that made me write this. but it also applies on some level to at least#3 will be free#bad buddy

I’ll never understand how the Castle Doctrine ‘hurrr this house is protected by guns’ ‘we shoot first ask questions later’ anti-trespasser crowd somehow ‘doesn’t understand’ why abortion rights matter so much.
Even if that pregnancy was wanted. Even if that fetus was invited. The minute that a person says ‘no, actually, you need to leave my body’ then they need to go. Regardless of whether someone believes life begins at conception.
Trespassers will not be tolerated.
#pro choice#(I’m also a gun owner btw and mr61below once had to pull a gun on a car full of roughs that came looking for one of his brother’s friends#were also rural and I don’t expect the cops to show up in under an hour under ANY circumstances 🫠)#I’m more of a ‘as part of a well-regulated militia’ proponent of the 2nd. fuckin too many open carry proponents are straight up cosplayers 🙄#(fuck the performative agency of all the wannabe Rambos and Frank Castles)#I know too many people who’ve had to end wanted pregnancies due to complications to themselves or the fetus

Esteban on what happened during silly season 2018 and how he felt during the first race in 2019 being the Mercedes reserve driver.
#I want to share the entire interview but it's so long and I think they would release it in their youtube channel in a few days anyway#about 5 days from early access release I think...#anyway just wanted to share this part since it revealed just how effed up his contract negotiations were in 2018#two teams? definitely Mclaren and Renault#he mentioned before he did a seat fitting with Mclaren and as for Renault he mentioned this in an interview he had with Brundle in 2019#I just love how that year out made him appreciate more how lucky and privileged he is driving an F1 car and basically living his dream#esteban ocon#eo31#podcast interview#high performance podcast

RIP reo speedwagon (the jojo's bizarre adventure character) you would've loved reo speedwagon (the american rock band)
#muffin mumbles#jjba#iwas reading rhe wikipedia page for the band (Did you know they performed with pitbull. like dale mr worldwide mr 305. that pitbull)#and the band was formed in 1967 so iwas like huh i wonder when they character named after the band died. because like#**the (not they)#he was born a century earlier <- i was actuwlly right about this robert eo speedwagon (the character) was born in 1863#so in jjba canon: reo speedwagon (the character who is named after the band) ++#predates reo speedwagon (the band who the character is named after) by 106 years. Thats awesome. do you think in jojo world they were like#hey this dude seems pretty cool. lets name out band after him. Was it compleyely unrelated? does the band exist in jjba world i hope it doe#did rhe guy who invented the car the band is named after (who named the car after himself-- his initals were REO) name it after him?#cause like. this is the timeline pf events here: in 1863 robert eo speedwagon is born. we dont know what the eo stands for#in 1915 the reo speed wagon is introduced (named after its inventor whose initials are ransom eli olds)#in 1969 the band REO speedwagon (sometimes stylized R.E.O. speedwagon) is formed. theyre named after the car#(it was a random thing they picked because it got mentioned in someones uni class? i think?)#so in my mind. im thinking yhese are all correlated#in jojo world not in real life. sadly.#so im going to choose to believe the car guy heard about the speedwagon foundation and went huh. sick name! he just added his own initials#(REO) unrelated he fidnt know speedwagons (the guy) full name#and then in turn the band named themselves after the car. this is true in my heart#wait semi related what the hell was joseph thinking when he heard thet band like on the radio i know he did i know this. was he like ? Huh?#joseph joestar watching 70s & 80s musicians have the exact same names as the guys with crazy powers he fought decades ago: huh! thats weird#um i got off topic. i just wantef to make the joke in theactuwl post itself but alas. i love a good ramble#thisis a joke post (obviously) but im not joking about the ''you wouldve loved reo speedwagon'' part. i think he would 100% enjoy the music#authors note: this took me just shy of four hours to post becausde i put it in my drafts from my phone to edit in browser because#the tags broke in the editor (as they often do for me)#and this somehow ended in a detour of me installing & uninstalling & reinstalling a stupid amount of chrome extensions#because i managed to get rid of the likes and reblogs buttons i couldnt interact with posts. awful. its ok tho i solved it

here are my thoughts on the new exo music video for ‘let me in’ (2023)
i liked the part where jongin hugged the dog
#reminded me of hugging sandy#who died almost a year ago exactly....... oh GOD do i miss my baby girl#she would be fifteen now#my baby sister nine years younger than me :((( best hugger#kim jongin#kai#exo#text post#also i genuinely laughed at that part where he was walking away from that car he was looking wistful on top of the whole video#and then it gets hit by a METEOR#I WAS LIKE KKKKKKKBABHAHAHAHAHAHA#sm when they try to be dramatic are so unsubtle about it lmao#it was in a sense a very classic exo video w lots of space and universe bullshit#listen. i have never been invested in this group for a storyline. i'm here for the beautiful men who sing like angels#it's a good song but that's not the title track right? right?#i am NOT in the mood for a sad era right now i have enough sadness in my life#exo i am depending on you to deliver me some funky jams on that album next month or my summer is ruined#but also maybe not bc i don't imagine they'll be performing on tv a lot?? so what's the point of something that'd involve#like a fun choreo like usual#idk this is kinda the problem i had w don't fight the feeling too. in that it felt like a very non-comeback comeback#i can't wait till they're all done w the military#TWO MORE YEARS#sehun has to enlist one of these days too right.......

realising how much of my expansion beyond rock and metal into a wide range of genres is because:
Slipknot crossed over with the edgy/gothier end of 2000s hiphop
Disturbed are just like. The BIGGEST nerds for 80s British pop (they're not alone in that, it's a whole numetal Thing, but I think like a solid 10% of the 80s pop I listen to I first heard as a Disturbed cover)
Lady Gaga was the top 40 artist it was Okay For Edgy Alternative Teens To Like In 2007
Being an Alternative 2000s Teen was in many ways very musically stifling cause it was incumbent upon me to perform disdain for anything deemed too Pop.
I was somewhat rescued by my own gayness (when me and my gay goblin friends discovered CAMP!!!! and got semi-ironically big into Katy Perry and Rihanna and of course Gaga) but mostly I was so aggressively self-policing my music tastes and deciding what to listen to based more on my assessment of where it fitted socially than on whether I like. Liked it.
Catch 13 year old me studiously typing "punk" and "metal" into Limewire and listening to whatever came up. Catch 15 year old me assessing whether the fact that Rihanna is making music videos about murder in black lipstick means it's ok to like top 40 pop. Complicated by the fact that honestly half the biggest Alternative Teen bait acts of the 2000s were pop as hell, and that as above, numetal acts were nerdy musicians with a broad range of tastes outside metal, and it was very complicated for me. It probably took me until I was like 20 to really start to get a handle on what I personally liked musically, rather than what fit my persona (vividly remember being in a goth club when I was like 18 where they closed out the night with Leonard Cohen's Closing Time every time, and thinking like oh man am I allowed to like Leonard Cohen then? having been listening to Leonard Cohen since I was a literal infant.)
Once I let go of the sense of having to like the Right Music, I very rapidly developed very eclectic tastes and music became a really big part of my life. although my friend did recently still describe my music taste as "two genres - heavy and gay" so that 2000s alt teen is still in there big time.
I think it's a normal thing about being a kid. You're developing music taste basically from scratch and there's a world of music out there so it helps to start out with a narrow focus and build a solid few acts, albums or genres you really like and work out from there. But I do regret how much good music I missed out on first time around because even though I liked it I wrote it off for being rap or being too pop or too upbeat. But the good thing about music is that it doesn't go away! I'm still discovering a lot of music that I heard 50000 times when it was on the radio but never really listened to at the time. It's fun!
#red said#also i do think the fact that my family didn't really listen to music radio did change the ways i developed taste#it was talk radio or music my parents or us kids already owned so there wasn't like. a time i was listening to new music where#i wasn't also performing Teen Coolness for other kids. i mostly heard new music in the art room at school or in cafes or on coaches#whereas i know a lot of people who built their foundational music tastes really on from what was on the radio when they were kids#lot of people i know reminisce about hearing certain songs in the car to school etc and for me that's not music that's BBC Radio 4#idk i think it's really interesting that like. early developmental stage of music tastes#cause it's different for everyone. for most it's a patchwork of your family's music what your friends listen to and what's on the radio#as well as stuff you stumble on or seek out of of interest#and the balance is different for everyone. i think it says a lot about your experience of childhood#and i also think like for myself I'm often quite judgemental of child!me's basic and limited tastes#because i was pretty judgemental of myself at the time for not knowing Enough Music#and as an adult I'm like nah that's a pretty vital part of development. like you don't get mad at a baby for not knowing what words mean.#you have to start somewhere! when you're 14 you've only had 14 years to listen to music and for most of that time you weren't choosing it#and you probably haven't been going out to gigs or record stores off your own back. you're going with friends or family's recommendations#so like as a teen i knew my parent's music. i knew my brother's music. i read Kerrang! and listened to stuff my friends suggested#but it took time to build up that solid foundation to go 'what i like is a hefty beat/ bass and a lot of energy. i will find more of that.'
