i'm sure this post has been made before but the "the list of people i trust and things i believe is down to no one and nothing" to "i trust angus mcdonald entirely" journey that taako takes in the span of roughly one in-fiction hour during lunar interlude reunion tour is so important to me. adventuring partners and friends who have saved his bacon more times than he can count? nah fuck em. organization that has protected him and given him a purpose and fresh start? new stone of farspeech who dis. this nerdy ass boy detective? "angus i trust you implicitly and here's the 100% exact truth as we understand it"
#taako is such an enigma. he's sexy he's unknowable he doesn't give a shit he cares more than anyone in the world#his relationship with angus is soooooooooo. to me.#stuff#taz#taz balance#the adventure zone#the adventure zone balance#taako#angus mcdonald#like also i know that taako says that first thing and then continues trusting magnus and merle and even barry kinda#but the fact that his verbal statements on trust just leap from point A to point B#within the span of about an hour maybe less and with like. NOT that much information gained in between statements#taako swift: i don't trust nobody and nobody trust me#taako 5 seconds later: o shit i forgot about boy detective. i trust 1 somebody

never getting over the fact that one of (if not the only) time you can see mac’s shamrock tat is when he’s wearing his stupid twink shorts… like he has never worn anything else that makes it visible. so dennis truly has no reason to be so strangely invested in him getting it removed during the ireland arc UNLESS he frequently sees or is planning to see this part of mac’s thigh on a regular basis I HATE THEM SO BAD
#I mean I know he tends to be weird about mac being aesthetically appealing to him but at least for fat mac#you could explain that as his discontent with his own weight + the fact that mac’s weight gain was something very obvious#and must’ve affected them both just lifestyle wise as roommates#but I cannot possibly fathom why he would care about a tattoo on mac’s upper thigh unless it’s for gay reasons 😭😭#dennis reynolds#it’s always sunny in philadelphia#mac mcdonald#iasip#macden#macdennis

I love the idea that Mac and Charlie had to take these pictures of each other and were probably hyping each other up about how badass they looked
#iasip#always sunny#its always sunny#sunnyblr#its always sunny in philadelphia#charlie kelly#mac mcdonald#charmac#anyway do you ever think about the fact what the gang was afraid of in Dennis and Dee's Mom Is Dead comes true in this episode#and no one attends mac and charlie's funeral except for the gang and their moms#and mac's mom is asleep the entire time#and other than those literal 5 people no one else in the world cares about them enough to come to their funeral#cuz i do

Fluent Freshman - Part 20
PREVIOUS
FF had watched more than a few self-defense videos when he believed that Andrew Minyard was looking for a dark alley to stab him in. He had learned how to turn the attacker’s momentum against them. Had learned about disarming the person trying to stab him.
He’d even had Matt teach him a few punches claiming that it was for the dust-ups that tended to happen on the court.
He, naturally, does not use any of that knowledge because his mind immediately reverts into Lizard panic mode the moment Jackson Plank takes another step forward with a knife (HUGE. Is it wild that he is thinking about Crocodile Dundee right now?)
“If you come quietly you won’t get hurt.” Jackson says and he reverts to who he is as a person and he freezes. His bravery was used up maybe it was only ever tied to great pump up songs and now in the silence of the alley he is back to being Stone-Faced Smith.
“You’re going to dial up Wesninski and if you don’t say EXACTLY what I tell you to then I’m going to have you SING in agony.”
Y’know in that moment he stops thinking about Crocodile Dundee.
He thinks about a movie that is far more ingrained in his mind than any number of self-defense videos or one-off lessons with Matthew Boyd where he’d been trying not to flinch. A movie he had watched in better days with his family and had been a favorite of his Grandma’s (and his).
He thinks about Miss Congeniality.
Sandra Bullock as Gracie Hart has taught him everything he ever truly needs to know when he takes a step back and Jackson comes at him.
He strikes right at Jackson’s nose with the palm of his hand.
“SON OF A-“
The knife is dropped and FF kicks it under a dumpster.
FF grabs the single weapon he has on his person.
The McDonald’s Megamind Happy Meal Light Effects Brainbot.
He points the LED light straight at Jackson’s eyes and just like Aaron in the car on the way back, “Shit, that’s bright!” And now completely blinded by a combination of watery eyes and LED McDonald’s toy he proceeds to SING just as Gracie Hart had taught him.
S - Solar Plexus. He punches Jackson there as hard as he can.
I - Instep. He smashes his booted foot down on the inside of Jackson’s shoes (who the fuck wears LOAFERS to a kidnapping?)
N - Nose. He’d feel bad about hitting it again if Jackson wasn’t y’know…a hitman out to hurt Captain Neil.
G - Groin. He may have to give himself just half a second to apologize to all of mankind for what he is about to do. His step brothers had definitely kicked him in the groin plenty of times to try and get a reaction. It’s an art to not let anyone know that your ball has retreated up into lower intestine. He kicks Jackson as hard as he can (collegiate athlete) with the boots that Nicky had let him borrow. He is right on target with the toe of his shoes.
Jackson goes down.
The next thing he does is not something Gracie Hart had taught him but does still feel like the right thing to do in this situation. He kicks Jackson in the head and the man goes limp.
If FF throws both hands up in the air and lets out a “I am Miss Congeniality!” Victory cry into the alleyway well no one is around or awake to know that.
He feels like he deserves a sash and a crown and some flowers.
He looks down at Jackson and then over at the van the man had hopped out of. He was definitely PLANNING on kidnapping Captain Neil so he probably has like…some kind of restraint?
Well, better to completely subdue this guy before he tries to figure out the game plan for Romero. Wait, what’s that next to the Crocodile Dundee knife, are those...?
***
Roland is calling for a second time.
Andrew had let it go to voicemail the first time. It was usually Roland complaining about Nicky, Aaron, or Kevin doing something exceptionally stupid in their inebriated states. They have a system. Roland will call and leave a voicemail detailing the dumb shit his family has gotten up to and then he’ll let it go.
If Roland calls twice then there’s an issue.
Arm still around Neil’s shoulders he answers the phone, “What.” He asks.
“You need to help your new friend. There’s some guy following him, he’s armed and dangerous and looking for someone to grab to get Neil’s attention. He tried to lead the guy outside but he’s standing watching it for now so there might have already been someone waiting?” Roland gets out in a rush and Andrew is up and moving towards the stairs even as he’s closing the phone to disconnect the call.
Neil, of course, is right on his heels. “What is it? Did something happen?” Neil asks and they are up the stairs and pushing past Frank and his stupid pineapple shirt. Andrew spots Nicky and he spots Aaron.
“Get Nicky and Aaron somewhere safe. I need to go help Smith with something.” He says because whoever this is wants Neil and Andrew will not let Neil get within grabbing distance and won’t mention it. Neil, blessedly, does what Andrew asks without question.
Andrew scans the crowd and finds a man whose gaze goes between his phone and the back door.
A face that Andrew had memorized.
One of Nathan’s surviving men.
In the same Zip Code as Neil.
And that man has the audacity to still be breathing.
He looks and Nicky and Aaron (drunk, drugged, and useless because Andrew had wanted them to be) are with Neil and Roland is directing them to the backroom.
Andrew goes out the alley and can feel Romero���s eyes on him.
He’s prepared for a lot of things to see out in that alley. He’s angry that FF hadn’t just come down and grabbed him and Neil (he does not need TWO martyrs) and he wants to know what the fuck FF was thinking (or if he was thinking at all). Even with that anger he does not wish to see FF’s blood spilled all over an alleyway because Andrew’s family needed to be protected and FF was the only one sober enough and aware enough to do it.
He knows what Nathan’s men are capable of.
Knows that Romero was one of Nathan’s best so if there is someone out in the alleyway then it’s likely one of his other bests.
FF doesn’t even know how to use a knife. He had asked and FF had firmly declined every time Andrew had brought it up after the first fainting incident. “I’m not interested in learning that. No.” Had been the standard response.
He knew FF had at least taken a lesson or two from Boyd on throwing a punch considering the one he shot out a week ago when a Striker came at him after the third time FF intercepted a pass.
Still, Andrew had not anticipated coming out into the alleyway and finding an unharmed FF securing an unconscious Jackson Plank’s arms behind his back with fuzzy handcuffs.
“Am I interrupting something?” He asks and FF looks up at him with a flush on his cheeks.
“It’s not my fault this is a weird sex alleyway! They’re the first thing I found on my way over to the van to look for actual restraints.” FF says immediately and Andrew almost laughs at the insanity of it. “Wait, where’s Captain Neil?” FF looks around nervously.
“He’s with Aaron and Nicky in the backroom. Roland gave me your S.O.S.” Andrew says even as he quickly makes his way away from the door and towards FF. “Romero is watching the door. Let’s give him a reason to come out.” He says going over to Jackson and when he rolls the man over he raises an eyebrow at the piss stain on his pants and the blood dripping down his nose.
He looks to FF who resolutely does not look back at him.
It’s a story he’ll get out of his friend eventually. Looks like FF didn’t really need those knife lessons. Something settles a bit more in Andrew, it’s nice to have someone else in their group that could handle themselves in a fight.
Andrew finds a phone and FF rolls Jackson back onto his stomach, “He could choke on his own blood.” He shrugs and Andrew wouldn’t care if Jackson choked on his own blood in fuzzy handcuffs in a back alley but he can understand FF not wanting a murder charge.
Andrew looks at the phone and sees the the swipe pattern clear as day. It takes him two tries to get the order right but then Jackson’s phone is available for him to get over to the texting app.
The texts he reads there make him angry. There were a lot of plans on what the two of them were going to do to Neil before his body was offered up to a different crime family to show that Romero and Jackson had no loyalty left to the Wesninski line.
He types out a text to Romero that will have the jackass come out thinking everything had gone well and they had two hostages. He looks over to FF, “You ready for round two?” He asks.
“There isn’t a tap out option right?” FF asks and Andrew laughs at the joke.
Always cool under pressure it seems.
“No.”
“Then yeah, I guess just hit send.” FF says with a shrug.
Andrew does just that.

"For me, Ian McDonald was the right person to come into the band. I did a lot of schmoozing with Ian and I told him that it was the ideal time for him to come back into Crimson. I wanted commercial success for Crimson at the time and my thinking was that Ian in the band would have possibly pushed us into Pink Floyd territory, out of the cult status that we were just beginning to move out of."
~ John Wetton
"John looks back on Crimson, but UK and Asia represent the musical direction that John helped forge, with commercial success in mind. If Red were to be 'the beginning rather than an ending' please consider that Fripp would have had to counterbalance the ferocious energies of the singer-bass player that would write UK and Asia hits, and a drummer who was more concerned with his own playing than the group process."
"If you put into this cauldron a fair amount of cocaine and alcohol on one side, and a lack of subtlety/taste on the other, you get a small snapshot of the concerns that I was dealing with to keep Crimson on track."
"To add another ingredient to make the pot boil a little more, how about adding a member of the first King Crimson, one who left in December 1969, giving me as a main reason that he didn't like me playing his music?"
~ Robert Fripp, on Ian McDonald. Ian McDonald plays on One More Red Nightmare and Starless.
#jesus christ fripp.#also the comment about bruford being more concerned with his own playing#probably refers to the fact broof usually just laid down his parts and left during the making of red#and john would record vocals after he left#and broof has said he didn't care about the vocals or lyrics lol#but also his comments felt like they kinda came from a place of trusting john and their sound engineer quite a lot#ANYWAY.#ian mcdonald#robert fripp#bill bruford#king crimson#itcokc live read#kciii

im crafting exquisite essays about ginger snaps and the death of childhood in my own head at midnight while laying awake in my dark room that will never see the light of day but trust me dude its genuinely a like delicious tasty little morsel of an essay
#ugh#ginger snaps#i absolutely love this movie so much#the way they have this naive view of death and morbidity#and the first time they see real mangled flesh and blood is a dog mauled to death in a playground???#and in that moment ginger gets her period and now she is forced to reconcile with the fact that what came out of that dog is coming from he#and then she is literally dragged kicking and screaming into the woods away from the playground of childhood#oooh botch the symbolism#and then sam the cherry hound kills the thing that kills childhood#absolutely fucking delicious imagery#k mumbles#and if we take it a step further and talk about the movie from brigittes pov#and how ginger is becoming an adult figure and leaving behind childhood and brigitte#and then brigitte literally kills off this thing that took ginger away from her#and thus brigittes only childhood companion the only person she could relate to in any way#and of course she sees it as beast as a monster as something that takes and takes and takes#and she can see it coming for her soon through her accepting of the curse#and therefore we look at gingers death as metaphorical instead of literal and see the turmoil brigitte is going through#ugh god its so good#if this is not coherent dont listen to me#like i said its midnight and honestly i have a really bad headache lmao#ginger fitzgerald#brigitte fitzgerald#sam mcdonald

#ill be real here im bashing my skull against the pavement#yeah i think the f⁴ are all fucking eo yeah#rip to sasha he has to deal with 2 brats#please send prayers for his patience its about to be tested#well at least lundy isnt as bad as luosty but oh bou#“wheres mikksy in all this?” how do you think this polycule works hes the one getting the mcdonalds rn#hes the productive one in all this and he judges them all#you know. despite the fact hes just as down bad as the rest of them#like girl cast the first stone if youre free of sin YA CANT#anyways i think theyre all funky together

Had an ADHD assessment a few years ago and the fuckwit that assessed me said, as a direct quote, "You're too smart to have ADHD." Like that's not any type of paraphrasing, that stupid fucking statement is burned in my brain forever and has been since I heard it.
I talked to my psychiatrist about getting a referral to a different psychologist for assessment, and she agreed and sent it in.
Today I got a call that said they don't agree that I need reassessment, and I'm welcome to pursue it elsewhere, but they won't provide reassessment. Which is just.
I don't even know where to start with that one. I just needed to get it out. I'm so tired.
#'we really dont think youre adhd so were not even going to let you pay to check again'#WHAT#thats an option?#they can just say that they really dont think its a problem for me so they wont waste their time?#the first fuckwit that assessed me said im too fucking smart to have adhd!!#thats not a fucking compliment and every professional ive spoken to since then has said 'yesh thats not right tey for reassessment'#i just had to write this down because#this morning i was showering before work and they called me and left a message#so i checked the message right before work cuz i saw it was them and i assumed they wanted to set up the reassessment#because i got a referral. but theur message literally just said that bullshit#and because it was right before work i had to pack that away#because trying to deal with that in addition to a shift at fucking mcdonalds wouldve killed me#but because i set it aside i just keep forgetting about it. so i needed to write this down to remind myself#that this is my life and this is the bullshit i get to deal with in this life#im so tired. i dont even know what to say here. what to think or anything#'youre too smart to have adhd. we're so sure of that that we're not gonna check again. waste someone else's time. bye!'#i wish the world worked the way healthcare 'professionals' think it works#what a beautiful world it would be. you could lose weight just by trying and when you lose weight all of your health problems disappear!#you cant have any mental health problems if you are smart or seem kinda normal or are a woman#i am resisting the urge to. i don't even know. i want to do something angry and destructive but i don't even care#at least now i dont have to drive two hours and pay $160 just to be told that i am too smart to have problems#and actually all of my problems are due to my anxiety and the fact that im female#god i wish that was the case. ill go on t if it makes my problems valid. would you like that?#what do i have to do to convince people i have problems? i will fully physically transition to be taken more seriously#would that help?? would that fucking help???????????????#anyway. i was about to say i wish i wasnt mentally ill. but i dont#being mentally ill is chill. its like a roommate that lives up there and weve lived together awhile so its chill#the only problem are the idiots they pay to deal with mental illness. at this point i dont think they have qualifications#theyre just bringing in men off the street. and theyre the real problem. goodnight folks#dont have the audacity to be mentally ill in this economy. its not worth it

i know the Willow Mellow lore gets worse the longer you dig inside of it + it reflects even Worse on the writers when you put the actual words on her situation but let's not forget Darlings she is a child. she is 15 to 17yo depending on what piece of documentation we refer to, too young to consent to sex and therefore does not fit the category of "sex worker", and instead falls under the definitions of "sexually exploited youth", more specifically "sexually exploited child", as UNICEF, UNESCO, Convention for the Rights of the Child, [...] and general common sense all define "child" as "person under the age of 18".
she is the victim of kidnapping by her """adoptive father""" and of sexual exploitation by her (presumably adult) "clients" (as she does not appear to have a pimp, and is instead written saying she loves what she does and such giddy teehee fun. [powerful side-eye through someone in the writing team.] [she's not a Real Person I have to stress, so someone wrote her like this, wrote this kid like this.] [it is all part of a narrative in which she is struggling to shake off her "father's" exploitation, an inherently tragic one, but she still was written that way, and could have been written any other way, with any other "rebellious" act]). calling her a sex worker as a child who is basically the same age as P2 Capella or Grace is putting her in a Grown-Up category especially harmful considering we are supposed to read her as an indigenous girl, member of the Kin (even if her lore is Mysterious and Hazy) and indigenous women and girls are sexualized in racialized ways which often paint them as more ~~~naturally~~~ sexually liberated, or docile, or submissive, or [insert racist x sexist stereotype promoted by colonizers to excuse the mistreatment of indigenous women and girls].
tldr yes it's worse when you actually call her what she actually is, and worse tenfold when you read what the writers make her say about it [even as an inherently tragic situation that we can recognize and put words on (hence this post), she could have been written any other way, with any other rebellious act, but you know.] but you know x2 (SIDE-EYES SOMEONE ON THE WRITING TEAM VERY HARD TIL ME EYES POP OUT ME SKULL)
#/!\ POST ABOUT SEMANTICS. POST ABOUT SEMANTICS ALERT. /!\#this is not pointed or written with wicked intents btw ^ i've seen it a few times from different people and it's just that if we want to be#able to talk about these things within the narrative and how the depictions of the Kin impact the around-game/critique this game in general#game (esp. p1 which is very much about. words and wording and navigating webs of words among so many other things)#we have to be able to name these things. especially in relation to. d*bowski do you mind coming to the mic and telling us#what was behind your head. no pressure sir#protecting this kid from the writing with my entire body like that one soldier meme#ooh d*bowski you are not making it out alive i'll tell you that much.#in the same way you wouldn't call mcdonalds hiring 14yo ''employment'' you'd call it. exploitative child labor.#but it's even worse because <3 aw the misogyny oozing through the pores of a lot of the patho narrative#because of maybe perhaps allegedly the head writer. allegedly!#how the fuck am i supposed to tag any of this#csa /#willow mellow#willow pathologic#pathologic#it'd be Less Worse if she was an adult bc at least she could consent [in a vacuum; if we ignore the fact that she's a kidnapping victim;#if we ignore the fact that the Kin who she merges with sees its women be sexualized and its ways of life crushed by the colonizers#and assimilated in ways they might not like; etc] but yknow. detailed herb brides bodies and whatnot.

I think this is my favorite song off this album, and while there are MANY notable things about this song musically (or lyrically; god damn, Phantom Blue had the best fucking lyrics in ALL OF '80S HEAVY METAL, or maybe even of all classic heavy metal?), can I just say: THOSE DRUMS, THOUGH...especially in the outro. Linda McDonald KILLED IT on this, omgggggggggg.
And thank FUCKING GOD there is live footage of this song, because, OH MY GOD...it's orgasmic. And I absolutely never say that, but it's necessary here. Everything about the band's performance (ignoring the probably drunk concertgoers who get up on stage, lol) is fucking perfect. And the combination of Michelle Meldrum and Nicole Couch...holy fucking shit, does ANY band (but I suppose I would, especially in heavy metal?) have a combination of such skilled guitarists [who can alternate covering lead, and, might I add, PRETTY AMAZINGLY, TOO, IN BOTH REGARDS]?!
youtube
Go ahead, watch this. And then pick your jaw and panties up off the floor, among other things...
#the keep reading is there to hide the fact that I am speaking very nsfw-ly/maturely about this so read/watch at your own risk :P#HELLO DO YOU ALL KNOW THAT LINDA MCDONALD IS A SELF-TAUGHT DRUMMER? because I JUST now read that on Wikipedia.#excuse me while I (later - after I sleep) look around for some interviews with her. I gotta learn* more about her I mean wtf#*learn more about her prior to/beyond drumming for Iron Maidens because I'm not an Iron Maiden fan so idrc about that...#oh wait I also just read that she was influenced by Phil Collins. OF COURSE SHE WAS...I'm not surprised.#I feel like at least two of my favorite drummers were influenced by Phil Collins so yeah. lol and I should include her as a fave of mine to#Phantom Blue#heavy metal#music#MY JAM#Youtube

biting kicking screaming and refusing to let anyone make me feel bad or like a failure or like i'm losing something by turning thirty tomorrow
#i know they mean nothing by it but the way everyone acts like i'm burying who i am by leaving my twenties makes me tear my hair out#i try to be sympathetic because hey maybe they just feel like the second they left their twenties everything was over#but i'm trying to be optimistic and fight against everything else that's telling me life is over because i'm out of my twenties#and the people i care about laughing at me because i'm so silly and naive#because they know when i get older i'll mourn my youth the way they do but i'm determined to prove them wrong#anyway i'm turning thirty tomorrow. still writing mermaid fanfiction. still playing fallout. still crushing on guys with passionate gusto#i'm celebrating the fact that my twenties mostly sucked#and maybe my thirties will to but holy hell i am not going into them resenting something i literally can't stop#happy birthday to me and kevin mcdonald this is gonna be awesome
