just more of crankypants diary

so yesterday I felt accomplished because we did the grocery pickup and both got our COVID shots. novavax for me,those mRna ones are two newfangled for me and I had crappy side effects from them. vaccine is a backup for always wearing a mask when out and never going anywhere almost. I miss family but also since having COVID once i've been even more tired and dizzy so I don't have the energy anyway. poor me.

today i'm more sad because now I have to think about the next things I need to do: telehealth psychotherapy just before the election when I should have scheduled it for afterwards,first ever flu shot (not antivaxx but not enthusiastic about it either) because i'm keeping an eye on bird flu,lab test for high potassium and months late pcp telehealth (which I may not get done before end of year),oh and ordering new glasses...had eye exams in spring...because I can hardly read except on adjustable screen. many of those which entail going out.

right now i'm reading a kindle unlimited book about people's experiences being faithful dark shadows watchers as I was in the late sixties,and also watching some old eps. on Tubi. I gotta have some fun sometimes.

Although it makes for great fanfics I think it’s kind of humorous that people write Lin as not knowing how to dance. Even though when Suyin and Lin made up she offered Lin a position as an assistant director for Suyin’s upcoming dance show. That leads me to believe that Lin can in fact dance and absolutely knows. She got the hips to prove it after all 😌 ☝🏽

I only got around to reading Tevinter Nights recently and now I'm hopelessly in love with Andarateia Cantori and Viago De Riva. They are now two of my favorite assassins, though to be fair my list of favorite assassins keeps growing...

Chev smiles so much in his route and is kind of silly, which is a shock to me because I always saw him as cranky

I feel like more grown-ass women should ditch the girl title and instead head straight for coquette, if that's your thing. it maintains that association with a stereotypical 'girly' femininity (laces, flounces, silk, bows, etc) and lets you have fun with it while stopping you from infantilising yourself with the title of a child - and, as an added benefit, implies that you may or may not be seducing the king of france and the catholic church holds you in deep suspicion for your delightfully charming ways.

crankypants fumes over fumes(and noise)

can't they make a muffler for those leaf blowers and other noisy lawn machines? also,muffling the fumes would be nice too on a rare day nice enough for open windows. at least we've got that.

i don't even live in a city but i live next to a storage facility which has lots of literal traffic,as well as an oil company who often graces us with the burning off of gas fumes. yay.

now i feel better.

One thing about Lin is that she cares. Can’t nobody tell me that she’s bitter or anything negative because in this 1-2 episodes I’ve seen her do the following:

Don’t mess with the metalbending police. They are Lin’s babies. She was punching the shit out of a mecha tank and once she heard her office yelling out in pain she stopped, looked over with concern, and jumped to help them.

Once they were taken away she wouldn’t stop until she got them back to safety.

Once they reached the prison and spotted her officers she looked so worried and then defeated that she arrived too late as her officers lost their bending.

She’s a protective mama that one

Heyo

It has been quite a long time since I've posted on here, mostly because I've been lazy and I deleted Tumblr 💀

But I did post like once or twice on my insta but that don't mean nothing. I forgot to share this darn photo I drew a couple months back!

So here is our esteemed "Chief Crankypants"! I hope you like her as much as I do!

This is sadly one of the last things I've actually "finished" because I was extremely lazy! 😂 Anyways, read below the line for cute little hcs that I came up with for this particular drawing UwU

So my hc is that when the newbies graduate from the Academy, Toph and all the veterans take a picture of them with their name on the board, and take a photo of them.

"This will be the one and only time I want a photo of you! You are police officers, not some thug on the streets! And if I dare hear that any single one of you is arrested, I will be pinning your face everywhere in these halls, offices and entrances. Am I understood!" Toph would yell at the brief and everyone immediately says, "Yes ma'am!"

The rookies all shaking in fear while Lin just smirks and crosses her arms. Thinking that she wouldn't have to do it. "And you Beifong, you're the first up!" Toph would point at her.

"But-" Lin would stutter out.

"No buts missy! Get moving!"

"But chief-" Lin would growl through clenched teeth. "I don't plan to get arrested-"

"Cool it hot stuff, if Kya and Bumi get arrested, it's only a matter of time before you do."

Lin just sighing, walking up to her while they hand her the board with her last name on it.

Toph bragging to everyone that Lin got arrested and starts showing off her photo to everyone and it makes Lin embarrassed but she at least feels loved. Bumi and Kya would cat whistle and compliment her only making her cheeks redder.

But after Tenzin breaks up with her, Lin gets "arrested" and true to their words, Lin's mug shot was all over the place and Lin has never wanted to collapse a building faster 😂

•°•°•

Also smol update, I currently do not have a working iPad so drawings aren't going to happen until repairs! But feel free to send me asks about Lin Beifong and send me ideas for hcs! I want to get back into the game! >w<

All art is mine, of reposted please credit! UwU

jared harris doomed grouchy alcoholic captain of my heart and all, but I cannot emphasise just how moving it is to read the actual crozier’s letters to his ‘dear sisters’ and nicknaming his sister charlotte as ‘dear small’ and gushing over how excited he is to serve under someone so honourable as sir john franklin and constantly asking james clark ross to pass on his love to ross’s wife and baby and nicknaming anne ross ‘thot’ (??) and the baby cute things like ‘the dear little stranger’ and ‘little sir james’

and yes I love terror’s francis ‘crankypants’ crozier, but the fact that we think of victorian men as being repressed and emotionless and yet every single one of the real man’s letters just overflows with affection and good humour just Does Something to me ok

Since I've already shared some Kuvira headcanons, now it's time for Republic City's resident hero Lin Beifong, so here are some miscellaneous headcanons of our favorite Chief Crankypants (affective).

While she was in her teens and already in a relationship with Tenzin, Lin came to terms with the fact that she had been harboring a crush on Izumi. She had originally dismissed her feelings as admiration since Izumi was the older girl of the group. Lin admired Izumi discreetly, finding her to be stylish, elegant, and cool, but as Lin got older, she realized that what she had been feeling was attraction, and thanks to the Air Nomad influence cortesy of Aang, she wasn't troubled or ashamed of being attracted to another girl. Since she was in love with Tenzin, she decided not tell anything to anyone, but what Lin didn't know is that Kya had noticed but decided not to tease her until she had come to terms with what she felt on her own. Not only that, Izumi herself had also noticed (she had caught Lin gawking at her while they've been all vacationing in Ember Island) and found it cute and flattering, especially since she knew Lin was on her way to becoming a gorgeous young woman. Luckily for Lin, Izumi was used to having admirers, something that came along with being Fire Nation royalty, according to her dad Firelord Zuko, who at his age still kept plenty of them.

Speaking of Fire Lord Zuko, weeks after Lin was left with scars from the incident with Suyin, Zuko was told what happened by Katara since she had been the lead healer to take care of her. After a conversation with Toph, during one of his official visits to Republic City, he requested to have Lin assigned to his security detail. What Lin didn't know is that this was the pretext Zuko used so he could have an opportunity to talk to Lin and allow her the opportunity to open up about what she was feeling with someone who like her, also carried the scars of a unfortunate incident with a family member on his face, and he wanted to provide her with the support he wished he’d had back then. After Toph left the reins of the department to Lin, she made sure to keep contact with Zuko, and they've remained good friends to this day.

This last one is a bonus Linvira headcanon for the rarepair fans like @redcatmusings 😉

Lin has had this deep green dress that makes her look and feel more of a knockout that she already is for the longest time, but between work and lack of opportunities, she has worn it only a handful of times. Back when they began their very discreet relationship while they were still sorting out their unique situation, Kuvira noticed the emerald dress, surprised that Lin kept such fashionable clothes tucked away between her uniforms in the closet, because she couldn't remember the last time she had seen Lin in something else other than her police uniform or her beloved tank tops. Curiosity got the best of her, so Kuvira asked why she hadn't worn it, to which Lin replied that she was waiting for the right occasion and the right company to go along with it. Months after this conversation, when their relationship was no longer the best kept secret in the city, Lin decided to attend Asami's gala for the first time as a guest and not as part of her police duties. When Kuvira rushed home to get ready to the gala, her jaw dropped with the vision of Lin in the figure hugging dress that was tailor-made for her. That evening, Kuvira had the distinction of being the only person who had both helped Lin fit into it and had also taken it off her🤭
