So you know how when you're a new Tumblr user that defected from Reddit because that ship is going dooowwwnn baaybaayy, and you don't really know how everything works yet, and so somehow you end up on your own profile page but you dont realize thats its your own and you scroll like 5 posts and you think to yourself "wow I agree with everything Im seeing this is interesting" and then its like "wait I think Ive read all these before" and then you freeze and look at the top bar and see your own tag and realize "oh god fuck I have just reblogged all these posts another time over" and then you have to go through and make sure you dont have unintended duplicates and burn in shame in hopeful privacy because fuck Im making a gigantic fool of myself on this lovely platform that I did not download nearly quickly enough

Once I was scrolling thru naruto fics and saw the tag "buisnessman!Kakashi" and all I could think about was Kakashi being a child businessman, owning all the konoha adults at doing business while wearing an oversized suit and tie. That idea is so fucking funny to me.
#obito: that kakashi! hes always showing me up by getting better deals than me >:-(#also just the idea of lil child Kakashi showing up at a business meeting and sealing the deal with an outline written in adorablly childish#handwriting. written in crayon lol#call this the naruto businessman au#every ninja is a business person and it exactly parallels canon. that is my dream#sealed inside naruto is the partial spirit of the ultimate buisnessman but its too powerful and everyones afraid#fucking hashirama's face on the wall as the company founder lmao rip madara: fuck this company ur brother embarrassed my brother so bad#at deal making that he died. im gonna tear it all down. face me hashirama! deal for deal. ill become the ultimate businessman ill control#the world and put an end to all this business!#oh got its so weird like the founders waterpark au that i also keep deep in my heart#anyway this is weird wtf am i doing. procrastinating and its like almost 11 i should keep writing or go to sleep lol#but wait: 10 years ago the spirit of a ferral businessman was unleashed upon this building. there was no stopping him. his charisma was#unmatched. his expense reports! his terrible otherworldly expense reports! he was too efficient! he fired half the staff! the spirit of#that buisnessman is sealed inside of u naruto. thats why theyre so afraid of u. and then cut to naruto in an oversized buisness suit#looking shocked. aw iruka as a daycare working. cute#anyway this is fucking dystopian lol#unrelated#naruto ramblings

How do we feel about Beach wear Noritoshi....
Everyone thinks he'd go covered head to toe wearing those wet suits divers use, but no. Noritoshi isn't the type to want to attract attention to himself when it's not needed, so he'd try to blend in. Emphasis on try.
He's the guy wearing a covering or some shit. I think you'd have to fight him to wear a translucent one. (if you splash him with water, you'll acheive the same effect thoughahahaha) even though it's a beach, he's trying to find an appropriate way to cover up, hes just like that. yes to sunscreen ofc. I can see him in a sun hat, but it's not his.. maybe he took it from one of the girls
HIS HAIR WOULD BE UP BC ITD BE TOO HOT AND THE SUN HAT WOULD HELP HIM FROM GETTING OVERHEATED H.H....H IS FACE WOULD BE FLUSHED BC OF THE HEAT AND. AND. AND.. he's like the beach babe on the shore, soaking up the sun and reading a book or smth. if you splash him with water, i can see him trying to get you back. then boom bam, hes in the water with everyone else.
OH FUCK that's even IF he goes to the beach. it's like seeing God in the flesh, idk man I'd go blind........... hed probably come along when he realizes theres hot people at the beach. he cant have you looking at people in that state, hold on hes going. give him five minutes..!
EXTRA
[untied covering version under the cut. like his booefjehsaf are out aha.]
ahahahahahahahahaa *froths at the mouth*
mf dont even begin to look at me like that
#kamo noritoshi#noritoshi kamo#noritoshi#kamo noritoshi x reader#noritoshi kamo x reader#noritoshi x reader#jjk#jujutsu kaisen#FAM IMA BE SO FR W YOU. ITS SO COLD WHERE I AM RN#AS OF POSTING THIS#BUT ITS FUCKING SUMMER SOMEWHERE OUT THERE SO LETS FUCKING GO#IM TELLING YOU WHEN I FUCKING SAW THIS ASK I FROZE#HOW ARE WE FEELING?????#FAM WE'RE FEELING FUCKING DEAD AND RESUSCITATED#GOD I FEEL LIKE YOU ANSWERED MY PRAYERS OR SOME SHIT BC I WANTED TO TAKE THIS MANS SHIRT OFF SO BAD BUT NEVER HAD A PROPER EXCUSE#OFFICER. GOD. TUMBLR STAFF.... THIS IS PURELY FOR THE SAKE OF ANDSWERING MY BELOVED CULT MEMBER'S QUESTION#I SWEAR THERE IS NO OTHER UNDERLYING REASON#OFFICER PLEASE#nah its embarrassing how hyped i got for this ask#you got me wide awake at 8 am bc of beach wear......#I WANTED TO SHOW HIS WAIST BUT THE FUCKING STUPID COVERING BLOCKED IT ALL.#WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME @ MYSELF?!??????#DOES THIS COUNT AS SUGGESTIVE????#NO. ITS JUST HIS CHEST. DONT LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT 👊💥💥👊💥👊💥💥#HOW COULD I FORGET ABOUT THE NORITOSHI THAT TEASES YOU BACK...... IM SUCH A FOOL. GOD STRIKE ME DOWN RN......#DUDE I DABBLED IN IT A BIT HERE BUT OH MY FUCK.... IT NEEDS AN ENTIRE POST OH FUCK#tysm anon I'll love you till my heart rots#you dont understand my devastation half way through when he kinda looked like beach geto. pinterest if you ever get your filthy paws on thi#and call him geto. istg ill gut you alive#null rot

That's so fucked up that people are romantizing Franco, because even Red Barrels are showing him as a total creep and disgusting person. In Outlast Tag I have a feeling that some artists are making him completly different character, making him charming/safe/lovely. I even have seen some people who were drawing him with normal face (without big forehead) and you couldn't tell them that it's the right character design! I feel like Franco enjoyers are more agressive than fans of other Outlast character. Even with Coyle/Eddie simps they seem to understand that they are evil and they murder others, but with Franco I feel like they can take it when someone tell them that he's grown up, murder people in very brutal way and his voice lines are just disgusting... it really seems that people are getting agressive only because someone tell some shit about 🎀✨️Franco🎀✨️. I know his fans isn't the only one that have stick in their ass (cause I seen a lot of shit bout Coyle/Big Grunts/Easterman etc.) but yall need to understand that FRANCO IS A GROWN ASS MAN and you would run for your life if you'd meet someone in irl as 1% fucked up as he is. Saying that he's just a Baby and he made nothing wrong is just 🤮 and problem is in yall if you justificate him and things he made.
idk how to tell you this ,,,, but this game is fictional. The characters are fictional. You're free to feel however you want about them, just like I and anyone else is.
I partially agree with the part about changing his appearance to make him look more "normal" or whatever, but at the same time people are allowed to interpret their favs however they want to. They can draw / write for him however they want to. I don't like "fixing" his face, just because it (personally) feels like saying "he's too ugly", but again, that's just me. As an artist, I know that people are going to have different interpretations of a character I like. It's just part of other people existing in the world. Not everyone thinks like you do, and that's okay.
Do you know how many posts I saw (and STILL see) about Eddie Gluskin, doing essentially the same thing as what you said people do with Franco?? That man would cut you open to "make a baby in you" no hesitation and people still ""romanticize"" him (me fuckin included I LOVE YOU EDDIE). Its just part of liking fucked up characters, some people are going to want to make them more "normal".
Personally, I see the normalization as more like wanting to give him some normalcy in his life, because of his past / lore. I love the idea of letting Franco have a normal life, be a normal person. A life where he never had to deal with the stupid Mafia stuff, had a decent father and never ran into Murkoff, having a normal, happy life. But, I also seriously adore his original, fucked up character.
Honestly, who actually cares if people are "justifying" his actions??? None of them are real. He is not real. I have never understood the sentiment that you have to make sure people know you don't justify a fictional characters actions... they are not real. It's not a real person. None of the things he did happened.
Maybe it's just me, but I would not run from someone like him. That's not some edge lord "im so evil and dark" bs but because of my real life experiences. Been with and around people in my life / family who are quite like him and I didn't run.
I imagine some of us are using it as a sort of coping mechanism, because (at least for me) some of us dealt with people who treated us like he would. Though, that's getting into personal territory, and I won't try and speak for others.
All I can really say is either learn that not everybody's going to have the same ideas as you or block the tag. Sorry if that's too harsh a response, but life is too short to really give that much of a fuck about someone /something other people like.
And I've said this before but this is literally Outlast, all of the characters are this fucked up, it's not just him.
Like does no one remember Outlast 2??? Does no one remember the pile of dead burnt babies, or the hundreds of other fucked up things in that game?? I really feel like Franco does not compare.
So, can we please just be over with this now? I mean, drama is totally fun and I love it, but I can imagine others don't.
#hes my baby forever sorry full offense#why do people care this much about fictional characters and fiction in general#I mean that's great being so passionate about work you love but#I don't know . put that energy towards something a little more important#it's just reminds me of being in the killing stalking fandom all over again#you're terrible if you like killing stalking does that means that you like killing gay people or whatever the fuck they said#it's embarrassing to really think this about fiction#like it really is embarrassing to be so worked up over it#it's not like Jeffrey Dahmer or a real person causing real issues#Franco Barbi does not exist !!! as sad as i am#the outlast trials#I'm going to tag it with every Outlast tag like that guy did. again#franco barbi#eddie gluskin#richard trager#dr easterman#waylon park#miles upshur#blake langermann#lynn langermann#father martin#outlast#outlast whistleblower#chris walker#walrider#i cant remember anymore lmfao#not sure why I got this ask or why my opinions important but there ya go#this was long as hell lmfao . sorry to anyone who actually reads all of this hahahahaa

ok fellas this post is really different from my other stuff so i'm putting it under the cut for people who don't care and also because i'm slightly embarrassed
ok so. is it unusual for a girl to want to have a deep voice and a flat chest and a more square face and also feel slightly jealous of men and want to sound like them and look like them
and also is it unusual to want to be all that, but also simultaneously not be very bothered very much by how you look right now or by being referred to with she/her except for sometimes when you think about it too much. because i usually don't think about it except for sometimes where i suddenly just get really sad about being a girl or i'll always have this faint feeling that i am just unhappy about it
and also is it unusual to try to ignore it and go about your life being unbothered by it even though deep down it does kinda bother you but you can't really. like. say anything to anyone because your family won't react well and neither will your friends because they'll think it's weird and uncomfortable. i feel afraid to ever feel this way because i know the people in my life won't react well to it
so like. genuine question please lmk wtf is goin on because i'm unsure if it's normal and i've felt like this for a long time and it's confusing me and i don't even know what i'm going to do with the information once i know i'm just sort of lost LMAO
#vent#ig???????????#it's not even funny (it's a little funny) how the only reason i've like. thought about this was because i am becoming#more and more jealous of actors in the musicals i watch#greaseball when i get you. when i get you#like i know it IS possible play as male characters in musicals or something as a girl if i ever wanted to#but the thing is i want to look like them and sound like them and i want to be masculine#this is me questioning my gender on my fucking cats the musical tumblr blog everybody point and laugh#might delete later depending on how embarrassed i get ARGH#I FEEL SHEEPISH#had this in my drafts for a long time but i'm caving in and posting it because i had a bad night last night thinking abt it#and i need to know. also i'm lying in bed having to get up and i don't wanna so i'm making excuses#anyway again. i'm embarrassed feel free to ignore this is so stupid#ok. being brave about this#i don't like being negative on here. idk if it's negative but it might come off that way and i don't want to be awkward#also idk how sharing it here will help. but i don't really know what else to go to#if nobody got me i know tumblr got me can i get an amen#keep adding tags to this like it's going to change anything. post the damn thing idiot#why am i adding so many tags like i'm hyping myself up in the mirror JUST POST IT

He said "Fuck this shit, I'm out" I'm crying. Toriyama's Vegeta was so top shelf 🤌
(From Neko Majin Z Chapter 5!)
#dbtag#Idk why Toei didn't lean into Vegeta being a version of Piccolo you could put in funnier situations like Toriyama wrote#He's reserved and professional and proud but JUST immature enough to bite down on a gag that Piccolo would readily swerve#But they take a lot of Goku's chaotic comedy away too in favor of Hero(tm) writing and that is why I keep pulling my hair out aklsjdlas#Toriyama was sO funny and it bums me out so much that the anime derailed how lighthearted and straight up silly the humor is#and replaced it with Misogyny Is Funny and humiliation kinks asjklfhadjk and it's not just my complaints about Vegeta and Bulma!!#“Goku is running away from his very reasonable wife because he is a goofy little guy who doesn't want to do his chores” becomes#“Chichi is Cruel to Goku who is Trying to be a good husband because she doesn't relate to his passions and vilifies him for having them"#which is not their dynamic at all but dudes in the writing room are like “being married is fucking awful amirite fellas hahaha”#but Toriyama was like “Being married is not for everybody but it can be really great if you and your partner are on the same page”#Chichi's reasonable! And Goku isn't romantically wired but Goku can enthusiastically consent to sex and still not enjoy kissing#those things can be and are true for a lot of people! And it makes even more sense if you hc Goku to be aspec (and audhd coded) like I do#Kissing can feel gross and can be a sensory overload for many folks. Doesn't mean they're stupid or innocent.#(although Goku CAN still ride nimbus so idk what Pure entails in this universe askljad)#Like I am the FIRST person to joke and drag Goku about his marriage as an aspec myself but like legit Goten is a Last Night On Earth baby#He knows what sex is. But also between how socially removed Goku is and how Shy and Conservative Chichi it's not out of line#to assume the actual words sex and kiss have never been spoken in that house skljdlajdf I FULLY believe Chichi uses code words#Chichi thinks her son being blonde makes him a delinquent and still uses honorifics with Goku like it is fully reasonable to assume#that the joke of Goku's naivetè centers around the fact that his wife is too embarrassed to talk about Certain Matters in a normal way#While Bulma and Vegeta are slutty hedonistic cityfolk who need jesus (according to chichi probably...and me but I support them)#anyway. point is. Toriyama was funny as hell and Nekomajin is absolutely ridiculous and goofy and has a fully amoral main character#which just reminded me that toei is allergic to letting goku be a gremlin and so vegeta's not allowed to be a gremlin wrangler#even though that's been his job since the day he met raditz alksdjaskljd

thinkingg..............i might want to post some AU content on here. bc my posts are just seen by my awesome friends n moots and most of them can't see my AU work...but they have no idea the beloved antics i put in my AUs.................i want yall to see the waffle fries human au SO bad
#quail talks#hi im just. looking through the WF human au obvs#and im just thinking like. why tf am i even hiding AUs#like i know why i STARTED- i was just! embarrassed! embarrassed i draw 100s of drawings of my characters that aren't “”“canon”“”#i know i had a close person in my life at the time of my AU peak who was sorta AU-critical.... and i thought hiding them was for the best#but now its like......i do soooo much character work in AUs. and no one fucking knows#i feel like the Waffle Fries human AU REALLY sheds some light into the personalities and dynamics of the characters#even if some of them don't interact in canon! (the AU spans into Tuesday)#but honestly#who gives a fuck about canon. really. aren't AUs canon too!!! if youre the one writing the story.!?!?#genuinely.....#as an OC writer- the line between fanon and canon is basically nonexistent#but i nerve.....i have so many nerves all the time#silly!! silly head#aughh what if everyone knows i love drawing my characters#what if everyone knows i like drawing Ruse and Magic as hot human women

I don't even know how to start this but oh my god.
Watching Blade Trinity with the fam, as one does, and in the opening scene (which you can watch here if you want. Little warning for screaming but it's vamp slaying goodness) I see for literally a second... A SECOND... or less before the guy gets garlic powdered, his jacket opens.
Anyway I'm not crazy right..? This is the boys n Star???
Ignore the subtitles ... and the horrible quality but I couldn't stop thinking about it so this is a late night escapade. Comparison pic for your viewing pleasure (just crop Mikey out... that's what I do)
#this is so funny but god help us all#the lost boys#the lost boys 1987#tlb#tlb 1987#paul the lost boys#david the lost boys#david tlb#marko lost boys#blade 3#blade trinity#like barely but its still a fun little thing#also the Eric guy who plays Daniel/the journalist in the iwtv show is in it also as a journalist#blade is great all around . i mean ryan reynolds is there too and i have a personal vendetta against him but thats unrelated to this#i just think that being mean isnt a personality . anyway i digress#this is embarrassing but also soso so funny#again . srry for the ass quality n subtitles but i had to get this out there#like theres a vampire pomeranian in this movie#and also dracula#hes there too#and horrible cuneiform oh my god. how are they going to real a sentence from top to bottom if its written horizontally.#but thats also only half a second of screentime i just am getting a history degree and Noticed Immediately#perhaps why i was alert for the fucking Lost Boys Jumpscare

Now that my body has recovered from this weekend, I just need to vent about my experience..
I went to see Dan and Phil at the TIT show in Oakland on Friday and it didn't go as expected 😮💨
The show itself was fucking amazing of course!! Just the surrounding situation really boned me.
(For reference I use an electric wheelchair)
Doors open at 4pm for the m&g
I'm running late because:
-the motel requires a cash deposit. we have to walk to an ATM
-the motel wouldn't let us check in with the info on file and it took fucking forever to get checked in
(to a room I had to pay extra for to make sure I got on the ground floor and it wasn't even wheelchair accessible... 😒 there's a 2" lip to even get into the room. They didn't tell me this when I called on the phone asking about wheelchair accessibility)
-we couldn't find the entrance to the train station that had an elevator
-Once we found it and got through the maze of finding the accessible way to get to anything, we miss the train. (Once we're on the next one, I realize that since we were so rushed, I forgot the gift I spent all week working on for dnp and the letter I wrote them is still sitting on a side table in the motel room 😭)
-We get off the train, but we have to walk back to the entire other side of the damn station, three blocks back (because that's where the only elevator is) to get up to the street level... So we have to walk those 3 blocks back above ground to get to the theater.
4:30
We arrive at Paramount theater. Fortunately that part goes fine, our tickets are scanned, we get our merch, and I go pick up my physical tickets for my new (wheelchair accessible) seats from will call, as expected.
4:50ish
Someone comes up to me and says something like
"Hi! The meet and greet is upstairs and we don't have elevators, so once the meet and greet is over, we'll have them come down and greet you."
(Terrifying. What I wanted to say was smth like .. please don't make them come all the way down here...' But also. I couldn't make it up those stairs. The line was so long and I couldn't stand in it for an hour on those stairs.)
Someone came by a few mins later and said they'll come get me and take me aside around 5:30 for a private m&g downstairs after everyone was done.
😳 (okie dokie, super not prepared for that, but I'm apparently rolling with the punches today.)
I do wish someone would have told me that when I emailed earlier in the week about wheelchair accomodations for the m&g, because now I'm here way early for no reason. But now I can't leave and come back.
5:50
I'm nervous because the q&a is supposed to start in ten minutes ..... But staff reassured me that they'll be down to say hello before the q&a, probably in 20 minutes.
At this point I'm MORE anxious bc I feel like this is making them later than they already are.
Then a staff member brings me into the corner door and we enter the back of the empty theater, where it seems like they're having a staff meeting or doing final checks before the show and talking about logistics?? And my partner and I are just awkwardly there like... Off to the side, but someone finally says, "Ok, I'm gonna go get Dan and Phil."
So I stand up (bc I want to be standing for my picture and I didn't want them to wait for me to get on my feet and get my stuff together) and I grab the mini poster from the my bag for them to sign the back of, and I have my phone in selfie mode already, and my Polaroid out.
(Me like, ok I need to take a picture of this situation because this is insane right?)
I don't know what to expect attttt all because... I didn't get to see any one else do their m&g, and there's no photo backdrop or anything so I'm internally panicking about doing the Wrong Thing but trying to remain calm and keep things brief and mellow.
All the staff leaves, so the theater is empty with just me and my partner weirdly in this corner where there's not a lot of space to stand.
All the lights turn off...... Cool.
And then we hear hundreds of fans screaming in the lobby, so we know they're about to come in, and a few moments later the doors open and almost hit us 💀 (bc again the staff told us to be here-- and really there's nowhere with more open space to stand... and no one can see bc all the lights are still off)
I saw their faces briefly as they came in the door, but when it closed we were all in a very very dark theater in the back corner where it's very cramped and my chair is just parked by the wall (because there was no space to turn it around btw) and I'm standing like
😳 um ...
"The lights all just turned off like.. a minute ago I, uh".
I'm trying not to panic because I already feel embarrassed about this whole fucking thing.
Phil in the sweetest voice ever is just like "yes, can we get the lights back on please?"
The lights came on shortly after it was totally fine, the issue was mostly that everyone in the theater was hurrying them along because the Q&A was supposed to start 24 minutes ago.
And they were both so sweet of course!! Phil asked if we wanted hugs and we all exchanged hugs
I said it was really lovely to meet them and they were so nice. My partner thanked them for coming all the way down to meet us and they said it was no problem at all.
I mentioned writing a letter and making a gift but leaving it at the hotel and Dan was like "honestly that's more relatable"
They signed my poster, Dan asked if I wanted a Polaroid (since I had it out) and said we should take another with the phone in case anyone's eyes were closed.
He said he'd use his selfie stick arm to take the picture, snapped that and said we had to get a selfie with our outfits cuz we looked really cool and I was just like... Wow thank you so much
They were like "great to meet you!"
I knew they were in a hurry, so I just said, "if it's not too much to ask could I ask you to doodle something for me that I can get tattooed to commemorate tonight?" and they were so sweet
Phil asked if I wanted anything in particular, I asked for a little creature or a little guy, just a little doodle, Dan said he'd draw a few things so I could choose.
I said thank y'all so much and it was so great to meet you and have a great show
And they were ushered away to go back stage to start the q&a.
Preface:
I am not trying to be ungrateful or complain when I still got to meet them and they were so fucking sweet about having to come all the way downstairs to meet me after they were already running late for the Q&A
But... I'm just so disappointed that I didn't get the same experience as everyone else. It really bummed me out to scroll through the m&g stories and see people get cool things signed, video messages for friends, multiple poses in pictures, or individual and group photos, cute stories of getting to talk to them...
And I was really rushed through and didn't have a 1 on 1 experience. (Or-- 1:2 experience, that is)
I had already left my gift/letter at the hotel, so I didn't get to give that to them..
I'm about to be thirty years old and I've been watching them since I was literally fourteen and I was looking forward to this so much and instead of getting to the m&g and fucking it up in my own special way because I'm anxious and knew I would be nervous, I feel like the universe punished me for being in a wheelchair. 😵💫
I was put into a small space where I couldn't have even met them in my wheelchair if I wanted to. And they were being rushed. The room wasn't very well lit so the Polaroid didn't even turn out, which seems like such a silly thing to care about... But I do.
I just didn't get to say anything meaningful to them and I felt humiliated for them to have to come meet me separately because I can't walk up the damn stairs 😮💨
I also didn't get a solo selfie which like. Idk. It feels embarrassing to be upset about that but I tried so hard to come up with a very short and simple goal for the meet and greet (selfie, full body Polaroid, cute doodle from them) and instead we got a very rushed meet and greet for my partner and myself squished into one 30 second interaction.
The thing I'd left at the hotel for them to sign had a short blurb written "I want a tattoo to commemorate this Good Night, could you each draw me a little creature please?"
And my partner wanted YWGTTN signed 😮💨
And again to reiterate-- zero hard feelings here AT Dan and Phil, they were SO fucking lovely, they were being rushed, they were already late, and they had no control over the venue-- or anything else that happened to me that day for that matter. The show was still brilliant and I had a really great night overall!
I'm just feeling really sad that on top of not getting to give them my gift or anything that the m&g was so rushed :(
Idk. Fuck the motel and fuck the venue for making this so hard. And for shoving two meet and greets into one 😮💨
On the brighter note, here is my cute selfie with my partner and Dan and Phil standing next to my wheelchair. And our outfits did turn out really cool 🥺🥺
That said. If anyone going to a show and meeting dnp in the US would be down for me to mail you the letter, stickers, and two buttons I made for them to just hand to them, I would be so fucking grateful. I just really want to give them the letter, I worked on it all week 😭
(Or if anyone is willing to get Dan to draw a little guy like Phil did so I can get it tattooed-- bc I don't think he heard me which is totally fair)
Anyway thanks for listening I'm just emotional and it's truly (outside of this) been a really bad month so I think I'm just. 😵💫😮💨 Extra emotionally vulnerable.
#dnptit#tit meet and greet#tit m&g#accessibility#dan and phil#more than anything I'm just venting#but damn talk about short end of the stick fr#i tried to make sure i wasn't going in with too high hopes but not even getting a solo selfie really hit me :(#which feels fucking. embarrassing. why am i so sad about that.#just being rushed really made me feel embarrassed and like having them come down separately might have sounded cool but it wasn't#and why am i so sad that i didn't get a little creature guy from Dan to get tattooed#i feel half pathetic half like.. no I'm allowed to be upset
