#fireworks are stupid

[postwarlevi]

July 4th, where people who have been shooting off fireworks for days in the evening and late night are now starting at 3pm.

Thanks a lot for the consideration to your neighbors and the animals that have to listen to random pops throughout the day that are unpredictable.

Shoot off your noisemakers from 8pm to 10pm on the 4th and be done with it!

Hey Merica... Fuck off.

[marzipanandminutiae]

me, age 11: wow an Uglies movie would be so cool!

me, age 31, after watching the trailer for the most aesthetically generic YA dystopia I've ever seen, where Tally is played by an actress ten years older than the character, the Pretties look like Instagram influencers instead of borderline-naturally-impossible anime characters, and fucking Laverne Cox plays Dr. Cable in a misguided attempt to #DiversityGirlboss that actually comes off as a The Trans Are Brainwashing The Youths Into Surgery implication holy shit who greenlit this: I take it back

my guilty pleasure trope is like. trash reality dating show au LOL

like you and bakugou on love island ??? HELLO ???? he is 100% the show-stopper that comes in as a twist at the very end, after everyone is already coupled up. thinking they're happy in their pair. ready to move forward and get to know one another. AND THEN BAM. bakugou katsuki. huge and tan and toned. probably a firefighter or something, been single for a long time because he finds it hard to put himself out there — and coming on live, national television was the perfect way to get himself out of his comfort zone LOL

let's say. you're coupled up with denki and you love it ! he's great and funny and charming and will make someone happy — but that someone is just not you. from the get-go, your relationship feels more friendly than anything, but he doesn't try to cop a feel on you in bed and he's a good snuggler and maybe you kiss him once, just to see how it feels, and that's not so bad either. but there are no sparks, no fireworks. you'd be content to even ride out the rest of the challenge in a couple, because he's comfortable, but that's not what either of you came on the show for.

after the first week, bakugou couples up with jirou. her sharp wit and dry humor draws him in enough (and he's always kind of liked that edgy look that she has) — but he very quickly realizes that she's really not that into him POOR GUY. bakugou really isn't her type; besides finding his attitude funny every now and again, they really don't have much in common. don't do much of the same things, share hobbies or interests, so it's a little bit of a bust.

i like to think you're just friends for a week or two. another guy comes in, two new girls come in, but nothing really changes for either of you. keeping your respective couples, just because no one else has really caught your interest — and it's not until a challenge has you kissing him square on the mouth that either of you start to take a second glance across the villa.

you watch him work out in the mornings, make a second cup of tea for when he's done. somehow, you both always end up in the same section, leaning back in the lawn chairs or sitting side-by-side on the beanbags as you chat about how the challenge has been going so far for either of you.

the part of this trope that is so funny to me is that — bakugou really is not the kind of guy that should be on this show LOL he's hard to approach and intimidating and if you don't understand his attitude, then you won't like him. and what little game he has isn't played like this: approaching someone in front of everyone else, nabbing you from your couple, having to put himself out there so that he doesn't get sent home. all while on live television.

but — it's not until you admit, casually one day, that you and denki are just friends that he decides to do anything about it. the two of you have gotten along so well in your couple that bakugou didn't think he stood a chance but after talking to you, he's awkwardly telling kaminari in the kitchen, alone, that he's planning on pursuing you. and denki thinks that's great ! thinks you deserve it !

the week continues on much the same: you and bakugou chat here and there, eat breakfast together away from everyone else, he makes you laugh and you make him smile his crooked little smile at the floor, embarrassed, as he tucks his face and pulls his hat further over his eyes. it's cute and you're having fun with him, but the recoupling is surprising, still.

when he has to stand up there, in front of everyone, red-faced, and grit out that you've caught his eye, that he's enjoyed his time with you, that he'd like to get to know you better — and you're floored. ecstatic, but floored. because he is certainly intimidating, and regardless of the fact that you were with kaminari for so long, you might not have ever approached bakugou, because he's just. so huge and handsome and striking.

and then you're settling in for the night, crawling in to your shared bed for this first time. and he's not like denki, not a cuddler, but you still make a point to wiggle around to him, wait until the lights are off and even breathing sounds throughout the room — and then you tell him, quietly, grinning in the dark:

"i'm really glad you picked me."

you feel bakugou sigh, a bit heavy, and you wonder if you're going in to strong — but then his hand skates over your arm, rests carefully against your hip, and he murmurs, "'m really glad, too."

i wrote this a lil bit ago and have since been made aware of luna's love island bkg !! 🥺 it's so detailed !! there's a whole show for the two of them !!

Quiet night time has turned into a cradle session with the puppy because some assholes down the street decided they want to set off an entire country’s budget worth of fireworks 🙄🙄

She’s settling now, and thankfully the fireworks don’t seem to be too constant. Scott’s on hand to help either way (showing him to her did actually distract her from the loud noises!)

Happy LATE Halloween!

On one end I wanna draw a Tubbo/Color fusion but on the other I feel like c!tubbo's identity has already been defined by his relationship to c!Tommy (Killer) enough and now I just have to bust my head trying to find how I can make their stories mesh so I have a different reason than just 'Tommy and Tubbo' so 'Killer and Color'

Thinking about relationships/friendships in podcasts and how easy it is to see how characters love without actually seeing what they do

Where I live in the US, there are people who will start setting off fireworks in the first week of June and it lasts until the first week of July. It's an entire month of hell for dogs, pets in general, and anyone with sensitivity to loud, sudden noises for whatever reason.

So I'm imagining Ed living in an area like mine, and it's awful for him. He starts to get anxious whenever the sun goes down. He's scared to pick up anything heavy or fragile after dark because he knows if there's a firework he's going to flinch really badly and drop it. Every night he knows it's coming and there's nothing he can do.

And then he starts dating Stede, and when the time of year for fireworks rolls around, he's a bit embarrassed but Stede is horrified by the thought of Ed having to suffer like this. He tries talking to the neighbors, then yelling at the neighbors, and then finding out the limits of how well most US cities are actually willing to monitor firework setoffs. And he'll try so hard to find ways to help Ed cope. Noise-cancelling headphones, watching TV with the volume up, playing games as a distraction. Holding Ed close to help him stay grounded in the present moment.

It won't entirely fix it, and Ed's still going to be jumpy and easily-startled, but Ed's going to feel so loved and safe that it'll help.
