#did they shut the power off?

[nyagosstar]

There are two things that can wake me from a dead sleep:

1) the sound of my cat having found and now eating illicit and delicious plastic

2) loss of electricity

Vienna 1989/90 giving me that tasty Tuggoffelees juice at the end of Mistoffelees' number. Love how Misto just spins Tugger away. It also actually reminds me a lot of a very similar duo spin dance at the end of this number that happens in Zurich with Lindsay Chambers' Misto, but instead it's with Munkustrap rather than Tugger.

And in Zurich's case, well, let's say that this Misto has a very different experience to Valentin's (who reminds me a lot of Tim Scott's Misto, especially with the makeup), and Munk is more showing he has accepted him fully.

@absolutehumandisaster - hope you don't mind me tagging you as I feel you'd be interested in my "little" tag ramble/thoughts on Valentin's vs Chambers' Mistos and how Valentin's is Chambers' Misto once he is fully accepted and has grown exponentially in confidence by the next Jellicle Ball.

Did an album redraw of Neil as the cover for Get Ready by New Order

(Colour version ↓)

The original album cover for the curious cats

i just fundamentally had a different experience with kim kitsuragi & i think it boils down to the fact that my daddy issues don't manifest as a need for praise and encouragement from an emotionally distant man

shout out to reina for being one of the only characters Ever to make kiryu shut the fuck up and stop trying to be a pointlessly self sacrificial lone wolf for a second by threatening to scream on the street like he’s attacking her if he doesnt get his ass inside

The apt across from us caught on fire and now we won't be able to come back for like a week or more, wooo

okay over-involved asa timeline.

9:24 - born to two circle mages in ostwick. immediately taken to be raised in a chantry, per custom.

9:29 - develops magic a little after his fifth birthday :\ he's packed off to kirkwall's circle with absolutely no idea what's going on. thinks he's done something wrong, and now neither his parents nor the maker want him anymore.

9:29-9:37 - this is not a good time for him. quiet and withdrawn as a kid, but becomes more rebellious as he makes friends. absolutely incapable of seeing his friends get treated poorly by templars without stepping in and making things worse, not always in a way that correctly diverts the templars' attention solely onto him. was in quite a bit of danger of being made tranquil towards the end of this time period, in spite of only being 12/13 at the time.

9:37 - annulment of the kirkwall circle. wahoo! he and a small group of mages escape during the upheaval.

9:39 - asa and his friends make it almost two years outside the circle through constant running and clever shenanigans, but are eventually tracked down outside of perendale through their phylacteries. he also transitions during this period "as a disguise" but never leaves that "disguise" after being found. lmao.

one of asa's friends turns into an abomination in an attempt to kill the templars sent to capture them, but it backfires and the abomination attempts to kill everyone there, including the mages.

by sheer luck, two grey wardens are nearby when the fighting breaks out, and they assist with killing it. the wardens are impressed with asa and one of the other mages, lucena, and after speaking with them, offer to conscript them rather than let them return back to a circle. asa agrees but lucena, shaken by their friend becoming an abomination, says no and is taken back to the kirkwall circle by the templars.

asa is too young to officially join the order on arrival, and instead acts as an initiate, helping out full fledged wardens around weisshaupt.

9:40 - the college of enchanters vote to separate from the chantry. asa hears about this. stand by.

9:41 - the conclave is destroyed! asa demands the wardens help the mages. this obviously doesn't happen, and asa is chastised for taking interest in political matters. asa runs away to see what he can do to help.

a lot happens here that isn't especially relevant atm. he helps out runaway mages until the inquisitor ends up siding with them and bringing them to safety inside skyhold.

he returns to weisshaupt, gets his ass handed to him, and is told that they have no place for deserters, and he's lucky they didn't inform the templars (who still have his phylactery) about him. he argues the semantics of leaving and coming back vs deserting. he's not allowed to join the wardens for a while after this due to his general nature and disposition and inability to even pretend at neutrality in a way that doesn't piss off wardens who suck at neutrality in a more morally bankrupt fashion.

9:50 - asa performs the joining at the tender age of 26.

late 9:50/early 9:51 - the thorne grey warden backstory happens and he's immediately in the fucking doghouse again. he meets varric :)

9:52 - present day

til that the $14,000USD HVAC system we had installed six months ago will commonly crash (in a way that you cannot diagnose from inside the house, and requiring a tech to drive here and go into the backyard to reboot it) if there's any kind of power surge on the line

which fortunately the fix is just to install a surge protector on the main line coming into the house, and that's maybe 500 bucks total for parts and labor, and then the *well known to be crappy in this part of town* power grid won't trip up this *incredibly delicate goddamn hothouse flower of a machine*

if only it had been possible for the sales guy to mention this when he and housemate were speccing everything out at our dining room table, so it could have been installed *with* the HVAC *by the electrician who was already on site turning off power to the house to install stuff anyway*

if only!!!!!! ah well I hope the company who installed and warranteed this thing enjoyed paying one of their licensed electricians triple time or whatever to drive out here on a Sunday and inform us of this (since we're in their lil care club so for us callouts are free)

Tech product guides trying to troubleshoot your issues: lol have you tried turning it off and turning it on again 🧐 I'm not going to read any of the things you said you did, if it doesn't work then get fucked. Go to settings and click this option that you said isn't even there anymore

Reddit: here's some actual helpful suggestions on where to find settings that can fix your problem. We're more reliable than google search. Except for when we just tell you to buy new hardware instead of trying to fix your problem

One would think that being unemployed for months and not having to wake up with an alarm and therefore getting to sleep as much as a body needed each night would eventually even out to a nice, consistent schedule. Getting the 7-9 hours of sleep the body needs each night. Feeling sleepy at the same time, not racking up sleep debt and throwing everything out of whack with the debt-collection sleep that's 12 hours long.

But no.

Not for me at least.

Turns out if I consistently get enough sleep every night my body reaches a point every few months of "We've had too much sleep so now we'll have No Sleep for a week or so to balance things out."

I mean. I've always had the ADHD trouble with a sleep schedule. Natural night owl. Can't keep a consistent bed time. Can't fucking wake up without ten alarms drilling into my sleeling brain. Occasional insomnia. It is what it is.

But given that I've been able to long-term live on my own schedule now, I'm understanding that Sleepy is the body signal my ADHD brain is very good at ignoring.

Like. I used to hear stories from ADHD folks going "omg i haven't eaten/drank all day, i didn't even notice i was hungry/thirsty." And think "couldn't be me. I'll interrupt anything for a snack or a drink of water." And then i have insomnia and have to be somewhere on a schedule and get like 3 hours of sleep and can just make a decision that I'm not tired actually and power through the next 16 hours of an active day with one cup of coffee as my caffeine for the day, never feel tempted for a nap, and still not feel sleepy at all when it's time for bed again.

So yeah. ADHD super power, resistant to Sleep Attacks 😂

under what circumstance are ian’s fingers in mickey’s mouth rn do you think

baby, damn! get right to it why don’t you 😌

in my sweet dreams they’ve slowly been building up to it all day, yea? it’s friday. they’ve been sneaking little glances in the ambulance all day. hands on thighs, slowly caressing higher. toying with a belt. dancing fingers on the back of a neck. little squeeze. skritch. hair pull. whispered promises of what’s to come tonight. looots of kisses!

a quick stop to grab some snacks for tonight. some red wine. ian breaks into the bag of chocolates, feeds some to mickey. leaving his fingers there, lingering. tracing his thumb across his bottom lip. mickey’s reaction is instant, and they immediately know where this night is going.

it’s been an all day. teasing, anticipation building.

mickey’s chomping at the bit by the time they get home. he’s already floating by the time they cross the door. grab. pull. bite. push. hands up chests. necks. hand on throat. face. lips. fingers in mouth.

……..

circumstances like that?

If Star goes to another dimension do they not function or just go ded?-

Have a good da!:3333

What was that? Who's there-?

It seems he's a bit skittish. It may take a few asks for him to warm up to you all

every time I see people hate on Barbara because apparently her whole character has been simplified to just be a love interest for dick because they like him and kori more, all I think is that audio thing where it’s like “you are a GIRL why are you hating like a MAN”

[perenlop]

i was initially gonna like, undo the whole “hero travels between worlds” thing with the gti hero in my verse, not because i didnt like it but for starfall plot reasons, but ive since deleted that plot point bc it was wayyyy too restrictive and i couldn’t figure out a decent workaround for that. so world crossing hero is back baby and now im thinking about eris taking the pokemon over to the human world. btw its totally an equestria girls scenario where the funny animals get turned human and they gotta learn how to act like one
