“Surprise”

I fuckn hate this Ebenezer Scrooge looking mutha fucka

Anyway, here’s your “vote blue no matter who” Democrat.

Look, I am not saying don’t vote, but there are limits to electoral politics, and the GOP + SCOTUS have successfully gamed the system.

Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, Gene Green, Henry Cuellar, Jared Golden & Marie Gluesenkamp Perez are living proof that voting as progressively as possible in the primaries is probably far more important than being reduced to choosing between “the lesser of two evils” in the general election—and before anyone lies and regurgitates the centrist talking point that “the only way to win in the midwest is to be Republican-lite,” I remind you about what the Democratic Farmers-Labor Party just accomplished in Minnesota.

-taps mic- Detroit fandom, you out there? Can I interest you in a sketch dump of Connor and Gavin barely tolerating each other’s presence?

I am sure I've talked about this on here before but I hate hate hate how in academia generally and my field in particular there's just a baseline, often unspoken assumption that you should always be ready and able and willing to uproot your entire life to pursue jobs and opportunities. like if I were in any other occupation "I live in one of the biggest metro areas in the US and would like to stay here at least long enough that my spouse can finish their degree program, but I would not be opposed to settling here long-term" would be a reasonable and completely non-insane thing to say. and yet I feel like the actual options in my field are so narrow for me even in a metro area of something like 18 million people and I worry that inevitably I'm going to disappoint people if I do prioritize staying here after graduation instead of moving to Massachuyorkland for a postdoc/visiting professorship/whatever

Eliot annoyed that Hardison didn't show up for the recon

"Idiots." Eliot whispers after Nate and Sophie find cuffs and whips in a lost and found luggage.

"Second class citizen, I'm in coach." Eliot says as he walks onto the plane.

Pinches the bridge of his nose as Parker does the safety protocols for an airplane.

The struggle of being exasperated 100% of the time is real.

Forget about Eliot's grumpiness! It's all about his exasperation and annoyance.

like everyone else in the world, i think doug eiffel is bisexual, but i think he's a little bit ignorant about it. not that he's repressed (he's not; he has a ton of issues, but that is very much not one of them) and not that doesn't know he's bisexual (i think he has slept with men), but. it's never impacted his life that much. he doesn't really get it. doug eiffel thinks that "everyone is a little bisexual."

Sometimes, I don't know how to exist. But then, I realize: Since I am already here, Existing is the default. So, all I have to do is to endure the moment that feels unbearable, or to give myself Enrichment in my Enclosure...and, eventually, existing will feel okay again. And I do know how to exist--I just have to keep doing the best that I can.

trying an "adult" willscam design

[kirbyddd]

i wonder if nintendo actually have a business plan for the switch 2 or if they're really just flying by the seat of their pants with "save up a few years of switch releases and hope it's enough to push a tantalizing enough first year lineup for a hardware refresh"

[dangoulains-devotion]

something I think about a lot when it comes to Vincent's design is that across VII, AC, DoC - the changes in his design are minor, usually shape related, but he keeps the same clothes. the others have multiple outfits, but he stays the same, adding to the fact he is, effectively, motionless in the river of time while others are able to move on or 'progress'... It gets to me ok

[tarantula-hawk-wasp]

I try not to think about how we can only ever experience our own perception of our own senses and feelings directly and understanding of others has to be translated through words or images etc and I can never know if what is red to me is the same red as yours or what hunger or sleepiness or anxiety feels like in my body compared to yours or even if what gender feels like to me feels the same as other people who identify that way. We’re all trapped in our own head and all we can do is work from that perception as a foundation of understanding each other

and also 💭, it was me all along but in disguise hehe

haven't been around here in a while, who would have guessed that school was gonna destroy my creativity

can't wait for the little thought bubbles to show up in the slimy thing in my head again

one day i'm gonna forget to turn on anonymous i swear

i'm surprised i didn't connect dots that didn't even look like they were connected at first glance but actually are which i've only just found out through this ask you sent using the anonymous askbox feature provided by tumblr which is a site founded in 2007 and is active until now. (<- /j)

hiiii, nonnie!!! it's been a while for u and for me as well T_T REALLLL. i do agree that school can kill creativity and take away the time to regain it back ‹//3 but i hope ur still holding up well regardless!

i think so much about the "I remember you" song bc of its central desire "to be forgiven"

arguably, a truly selfless individual would only wish for marcy's happiness, hoping that from the hellscape they lived in, she managed to find deliverance

but the song is a plea to be given something from marcy, and I think about that a lot

fundamentally, it is selfish, asking for a blank check bc for all simon knew at the time, he could be warped into an absolute monster and perhaps forgiveness maybe the hardest thing someone could give (hence the begging)

also it does show the difference in coping mechanisms between simon and marcy, largely due to marcy growing up in a ruined world and simon having a pretty normal time

marcy coped by leaning into her monstrousness, even exacerbating it as a trauma response, bc this was all she ever knew growing up - rubble and rot and skeletons and shadows - be tough in a tough world

simon however knew luxury and comfort for longer than marcy ever did, he could very reliably compare how things are now to the way it was before - how he was to the way he was before.

simon had an identity before the apocalypse but marcy never got the chance to form one

so simon begs for forgiveness because he can be better, he know he can be better

marcy doesnt - and she doesnt really get that she could be better until she found people that she wanted to be better for - but growing up, worse was all she knew so worse was how she decided to cope

which i guess to circle back to my initial point... it was fundamentally selfish of simon to beg for a blank check - which oddly does mirror Hunson and The Fries

the roles are reversed in Fries tho, Marcy has the "I Want" there and she wants an apology (maybe that might not even necessitate her forgiveness but she sure as hell would like to know if her Dad cares)

here, Marcy is on the giving end and I think that does mean something to her

simon's fundamental fear is to be abandoned by everyone he loves and i think that circled around as reaffirming to marcy in a twisted way

here is a man desperate for her love again which means her love is not a burden or a curse but worth something, maybe even salvation

and that maybe she is not so monstrous that she has nothing to give others - nothing soft within her that could offer comfort

im not fully tracing marcy's appearances to the "I remember you" episode but i like to think that the parts already cracking under her love for bubblegum got a little wider with simon's letter

or mybe this is all mental gymnastics so my fave blorbo simon doesnt come out looking like a dick bc he begs for forgiveness instead of no payment required wishing her well (honestly could be both)
