#i am baffled but not surprised

if the twst team would use the storyline of mufasa (live action) and apply it to leona's lore that's gonna be a whole SHIFT to his overall lore. then again, how are they going to make the adjustments... wonder how they'll use it or if they'll ever use it

it doesnt need to be said but its genuinely so funny how at-the-hip charles and erik are in krakoa like they really had the green light- the OBLIGATION- to be as obnoxiously close to each other as possible and abused that right to the fullest extent

i was playing cyberpunk and it just seemed like a conversation they would have :)

inspiration under the cut

i was just replaying it man, actually kinda taking a break from my atla hyperfixation resurgence for some good old fashioned johnny silverhandin', but then these two braincell sharing disasters have this book-1-zuko-and-iroh ass conversation and i just had to draw it :)

never stops being funny to me how everyone at the gym assumes im FAR more competent than I actually am without question. went to a roped sesh w one of my clubs bc they asked for novices to come along so the ppl training for the climbing qualification could get some hours in teaching ppl the basics & I wanted to learn. two climbing friends ask me if I've memorised the handbook for the assessment yet and are genuinely surprised when I tell them I'm not on the course. the instructor running the qual course (again, who I'm friends with) goes around and points out who's on the course and who's here as a novice to the assessor who had just dropped by, gets to me and goes oh yeah you're on the course too right? nope. then he goes ah but still they're a competent climber. nope again. pure novice. literally here bc I don't even know how to tie in and belay mate, u know that bc you've rope climbed with me before and had to fill out a supervision form bc im not signed off!! theres not even that many ppl DOING the course i dont know why he associates me with it. the first time I rocked up at one of the rope sessions the same guy (who, btw, has a hyperfixation on climbing safety & gear and is a fucking stickler for it & calls literally everyone else out abt it!!) asked if I could lead belay him - IM NOT QUALIFIED. TO LEAD CLIMB LET ALONE LEAD BELAY!!!!! then today they move on to gear and everyone is surprised I don't have my own belay device or harness. IM NOT SIGNED OFF. TO BELAY. I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW. THATS WHY IM HERE. I EXCLUSIVELY BOULDER. YOUVE NEVER SEEN ME DO ANYTHING ELSE. WHY WOULD I OWN ANY ROPED GEAR???? also bear in mind I'm a solid 10-15 years younger than the instructor & most ppl doing the course like where the hell are u getting this impression from guys 😭😭

when i was younger i used to be a big compulsive flirt a lot of the time simply bc i wanted ppl to like me and i wanted to feel charming and i do kind of have this kind of natural on-my-feet wit about me, with a side of kindness and genuine interest in people, that gets interpreted as flirtation whether or not it's really intended as such. i was more or less leaning into my natural talents but i never necessarily felt truly appreciated for who i was. and when i was a teenager this was really not a problem for me bc i was i suppose, for lack of a better word, a loser, or for some reason just unapproachable. and i'm sure ppl must've had crushes on me in high school, where among theater kids i developed this habit, but i was quite oblivious to it in my low-self-esteem way, and nobody ever asked me out or confronted me with any direct indications that they had feelings for me (i'm the type of person ppl usually tell that they USED to have a crush on).

but once i was like actually an adult and i retained this instinct it sorta got me into some sticky and regrettable social situations. honestly a lot of it stemmed from comphet as an aroace woman. like it's not easy to be an aroace woman in real life at all i can't stress that enough. men are so much more attracted to me than i ever am to them and it is always uncomfortable to handle their feelings and it's very shameful to feel like i have led someone on (whether or not that is the case). i would be just trying to form friendships w ppl i really liked but then it would be like... yeah no maybe this is not the way to go about that lol. so in more recent years, which have been much less sociable years for me anyway (i don't try and go out and meet people so often and am quite happy w the friends i have), i have just tried to be a lot more earnest and sincere with how i embrace people. that and i think i just kind of have mellowed out in social situations in general; i feel no need to impress people like i used to. i wouldn't consider myself much of a flirt at all anymore, not that i don't still get the instinct to be one sometimes. like i will still think of things to say that could be interpreted as such, and then just choose not to say them because i'm like no that's not my intention.

so sometimes when i find that someone is just seemingly straight up hitting on me i'm like what. blink blink. do people still do this?

This tag limit makes me think that tumblr wants me to actually write my post up here in the main section instead of piecing my thought process out demented breadcrumb-trail style in the tags. Insanity

[veryspecialfungus]

It's unfair to me personally that fanfic chapters have to be finished before they are posted and enjoyed.

[daz4i]

a bit insane to know there's people out there who think i'm hot shit tbh. you know i'm a pathetic cringefail loser who literally can't do anything, right?? please raise your standards 😔💔

[poetry-protest-pornography]

Ever find a fandom that's just... Really obsessed with a specific trope in its fic that makes you very confused and/or deeply uncomfortable?

[novelconcepts]

Politely: if you see me in my yard, struggling to wrangle my very reactive dog (who is going BALLISTIC because of YOUR dog across the street) and you just. Stop to stare at the spectacle

What the fuck is wrong with you??

Not my mom saying that back in the day there was more acceptance for trans people (in normal spaces) than there is now. She's right but she didn't have to go off like that

Me, once again infected with The Terror brain worms: I have so many feeling about AMCs The Terror 😔

Uhh, a friend of mine just told me that you ship eddiemike and you apprently want el to die next season because you want byler to be endgame????? Idk, ig I just wanna know if it's true (i doubt that it is tho)

?! what?!?!

1. i do think mike has a little crush on eddie/admires eddie but it is just a stupid little crush (like the kind a kid gets for a celebrity, just admiration based) and i absolutely don't ship the characters (ew...)

2. i don't want el to die but i do want byler endgame. i would kinda hate if el died next season because that's bad writing imo (not only would she not finish her arc but it would go against the themes of the story and etc)
