like i know he’s a sheltie and all, but i question it everytime we see another sheltie here. he’s twice their size. he looks like a mutant next to them. What is up with american shelties? why so different? they look like two different breeds
#dogblr#sheltie#shetland sheepdog#nova#people half believe me when i tell them he’s also a sheltie#i have to tell them he’s american#and he’s oversized#but i can see in their eyes they don’t believe me whatsoever#i mean he does look like a failed experiment#like someone tried to draw a sheltie by memory and got this

It was New York, around 1974, and I think it was around the first time they had gotten back together again. I got a knock at the door at the Pierre Hotel where I had taken over a suite for months and months…. About three in the morning there’s a knock on the door and John was there, and he had Paul with him! The two of them had been out on the town for the evening. He said “Can we come in? You won't believe who I've got here,” and I said, “Wow I thought you two had…” and he said, “No no, all that's going to change.” It was great! We just spent the evening talking. It was kinda a strange thing between them, there was a little bit of distance every now and again. But that must've been the first time they were back together since the big bust-ups. They actually asked me if I'd join the two of them and become a trio with them, and we'd change the name to something like David Bowie and The Beatles because they liked the idea of it being DBB. But, you know, the next morning it just never came to anything.
David Bowie on BBC 6 Radio Music in 2004
#presumably linda and may were there but he doesn't mention them so I'll choose to imagine they were having a boys night#and also that by “the next morning” he means they slept over#fic idea please#also i can't tell if this is just a more positive spin on the story may tells in loving john#about john and paul being sort of stand offish about young americans#but again i'll choose to believe this happened just as he told it#john lennon#paul mccartney#david bowie#the beatles#mclennon#reference

if trump does win in the fall, it will not be the fault of people who are against genocide. it will be the fault of biden, his government, and the DNC for holding onto wildly unpopular and horrific policies that are costing them vast swathes of their voterbase.
#chirps#the dems have long since had the problem of people not being excited to vote for them. now they have people#repulsed by the idea of voting for them. due to their policy choices.#DISCLAIMER: i am not telling you what to do with your vote#that's your business. also#it's fucking insane if you're being the dnc's patsy by scolding people in MAY for saying they don't want to vote for biden as the candidate#that he is now. if we can't make real threats then what's the whole fucking point of this whole thing.#also yadda yadda vote in state/local elections regardless#but also. imagine fucking yelling at palistinian-americans for not endorsing the man helping kill their families. LMFAO.#lol. lmao. ha ha ha. ha ha.

This is the only thing I'm going to say about the election until it's over:
Anyone who did not vote for Harris or who attempted to dissuade people from voting for Harris, you are indirectly responsible for whatever shit Donald Trump does if he gets elected. That blood is primarily on his hands, yes. But it is also on yours. I hope you can live with that because I sure as hell wouldn't be able to.
#'but gaza' trump wants TO OBLITERATE THEM. HE LITERALLY WANTS THERE TO BE NOTHING LEFT OF GAZA AT ALL. WHY DO YOU THINK#I DON'T WANT HIM IN POWER?????#yeah I said I wouldn't election post I lied sorry.#I know most of you don't actually care what happens to american citizens because we're all Violent Hypocrites who should kill ourselves#and somehow every single civilian is responsible for the actions of a military and government that comparatively few of us are actually par#of but FUCKING HELL. You don't care about THE PEOPLE OF GAZA??? Because that's what you're telling me if you're in favor of#doing anything OTHER than the most likely path to get trump out of politics. which is voting for the candidate DIRECTLY OPPOSING HIM.#the thing about america being an empire that needs to die. is that before it dies. it is still affecting the rest of the world.#I can't make you care about me and my loved ones. but I am IMPLORING you to have some fucking compassion for all the people#who are going to be DEEPLY negatively affected elsewhere if trump gets into power.#THEIR HARM. THEIR DEATHS. ARE ON /YOU/ IF YOU DID ANYTHING TO FACILITATE TRUMP'S VICTORY IF THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.#I don't believe most of you actually have any amount of the sympathy and compassion for others you claim to have.#I don't think any of the causes you throw yourself behind are actually meaningful to you. I don't think any of this is based on a#genuine desire to build a better world. I think you just want your Internet friends to think you are a Good Person.#if I see anyone. ANYONE. acting like a trump presidency is what we 'deserve'. or that it's necessary to 'teach [xyz] a lesson'#I am NEVER speaking to you again I don't care how long I've known you.#us politics#I am a disabled queer woman. almost everybody I love is also disabled and queer. you think we're acceptable collateral damage fine.#but don't cry that I'm being a bitch if I say that that makes me not trust you and not want to have anything to do with you.

Ongoing headcanon that achilles taught zag how to talk because NO ONE ELSE in the house of hades has that light british accent that he has except for achilles and I think it’s well established that achilles is zag’s dad soooooooo I think I’m right
#literally everyone around him is american where else could he have learned to talk like that other than from achilles#everyone else has like a transatlantic accent as far as I can tell#not even hades is british 😭#it’s just some of the olympians like aphrodite artemis hermes etc.#also shoutout to darren korb who voiced zag skelly and orpheus without sounding like any of them#insane cast that game has#hades game#zagreus#achilles hades

what are they doing to his leg💔💔
#weezer#rivers cuomo#omg okayokayokay#soooo idk about you all but i am in the usa ; specifically california#and yk how trump is now the president ?#ya girl might get deported to mexico ! 😛#mainly because he wants to repeal the law that states anyone born on american soil is a citizen ; and their parents must be legal in order#for their child to be legal ; my grandma (who was an illegal immigrant when she had my aunt and uncle) would then be deported to mexico#ALONGSIDE my aunt and uncle ; but she was a legal resident )not citizen) when she had my mom; so we don’t know if that is okay or not#but if it means my mom is illegal despite that fact; me and my siblings are also illegal and we would most likely be deported#it’s really scary#the election results were scary when i saw them ; i don’t like to be political but it’s just insane to me how people can lack empathy like#that in exchange for economic benefit :( it makes me so sad to think about ; i really wish Harris had won because i wouldn’t have this like#thought about how different my life might become and how it will become for so many other immigrants :(#hopefully everything will turn out fine ; it’s just crazy to think about#SOERH FOR THE RANT I JS NEWDED TO TELL LIEK.

why are people acting like canada just walked into the collapse-of-neoliberalism party? progressive canadians have been screaming about this for years. “welcome to the shitshow, canada! now we can all see how trudeau is just like liberal politicians from other countries!” I’ve been trying to tell people that for years. canadian leftists have been warning about how trudeau’s government will be replaced by an increasingly far-right conservative party for years. the only difference is that this debacle is the biggest, loudest one yet, so the rest of you finally noticed
#oh ho now that MY country is reporting on it canada is suddenly turning fascist!!!#now i’m going to condescendingly tell canadians welcome to the party and warn them about all the dangers of neoliberalism!!#bc those poor sweet canadians must have no idea!!!#sorry guys. I saw one post with the most patronizing tone towards canadians in the world#and now I want to scream#WE’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR FUCKING. YEARS.#rein rambles#i have more to add: it’s not canadians who were acting like trudeau was basically a socialist#that was y’all. it was americans who couldn’t shut up about how hot he was. not us

see I can’t accept charles’ comic background and socioeconomic status as canon for the show because if I did that would mean the whole group would be a bunch of rich kids and that’s a horrifying concept
#ranging from vaguely upper class (niko and charles via comic logic) to presumably quite wealthy (edwin) to straight up ultrarich (crystal)#well off but doesn’t own a mansion -> owns a mansion -> owns several mansions in several countries#but yeah that aside. I don’t like the idea of him being raised upper class or even upper middle and yes I know he went to a private catholic#school that presumably costs a decent amount of money but for one we don’t Know how much exactly by that point in time (I’m assuming it was#more prestigious and expensive back in edwin’s day) and it’s not like middle class or even working class people can never afford#to send their one (1) kid to catholic school. like that’s really not too unusual. I know this is an american example but im thinking about#lady bird and her catholic school situation- her family was financially unstable and still paid for Catholic school because it was (in their#opinion) the best offering for an education in the neighborhood (and as someone who lives in the same city in the same Area of the same#city I can tell you that that choice does make sense even for a non-catholic. the public schools round here can be uhhhhhh rough)#so im seeing charles’ situation sorta like that#his dad seems like the type to want him ‘kept in line’ and ‘whipped into shape’ and I think he’d pay for that if he could manage it#idk something about charles is just……he has an appeal by being the Normal Kid amongst them. not raised as anything special. not having all#his needs met. never expecting to do anything super grand with his life. just a city kid yknow#anyway SOMEONES gotta know how to cook. I don’t think crystal or edwin have ever had to cook for themselves in their lives and niko seems to#live on instant ramen and i mean I bet she can cook very basic japanese meals but that’s about it#please for the love of god tell me charles learned some stuff from his mom and can cook an adequate meal#I know ghosts don’t eat but shut up#rambling#charles#dead boy detectives spoilers

americans really did go the fuck off with a lot of their food like even something as simple as pb&j..they deserve their knobs gobbled for that
#also cookies#bc when i tell an older relative that im going to make cookies for them#they assume i mean british biscuits#dry little thingies for tea dunking (which i do love)#then i turn up with gorgeous thick decadent american cookies#that actually have flavours other than flour and sugar#and little old gladys acts like ive cured cancer#my boyfs grandpa asks for my chocolate peppermint xmas cookies every time he sees me#bc hes literally never had anything like that before#thank u to sally and her baking addiction for making me look cool as fuck to the pensioners

like why did they change where Vegeta was when Cell announced the cell games in the anime
why did they make this vegeta starting shit with yamcha instead of chillin in the lab with his family? why did they take Bulma out of the lab? Why'd they say she was Out while Dr Brief was repairing 16? Why did they change Bulma working on advanced robotics to running in late with her baby?
it's the same scene except: - Bulma's actively at work being a scientist - Vegeta's not being rude to her (or anyone else!) - Vegeta waits for Trunks instead of leaving the room - Cell interrupted the airwaves, which means Trunks and Vegeta were just hanging out with Bulma and Dr B while they were working
Those are all Great Character Details!! That the anime rails against!!
#these cowards afraid of showing Vegeta actively choosing to be around his wife and child even when he's Bad#Because Goku who is Good never ever even once makes that choice onscreen outside of filler#and then they justify that choice by making Chi-Chi seem horrid and unreasonable for (checks notes) Not Wanting Her Child to Die#anyway I am once again being bitter about anime vs manga klasjdklasd#I can't believe I let the anime convince me I hated Goku man Goku's SUCH a good and ridiculous character in the manga#the anime just SUCKS at letting him be who he's always been#and has to reframe and recontextualize and reword everything he does so that it seems like he's Actually Quite Mature and Thoughtful nO#THAT's VEGETA YOU COWARDS#also the fact that bulma said she wouldn't live with him at the beginning of this arc to him casually hanging out with her and trunks#after cell beat his ass and humbled him is REALLY GOOD SUBTEXT for their shared relationship having improved without showing it#it's great subtext for all three of them and toei just went 'nah' and decided to make it a whole group shot so ...? Master Roshi could sit#and explain how ??? Tournaments Work??? Just so Cell could log on and also explain how tournaments work?? God it's been so long#since I've watched the anime and now when I do it just makes me mad aklsdjskja the manga is SOOOOO much better#there are some spots where the pacing is more ideal in the anime like goku turning ssj for the first time but like man. everything else is.#like why are you making Goku snarky with Vegeta dude his clapbacks are SO much funnier when they're just Tactless Honesty#like Vegeta's not insulted by Snark bitch he grew up in the Freeza force that man was raised by THE bitchiest drag queens#Vegeta's insulted by someone saying something deeply and insultingly True to his face as if it's the fucking weather#Goku in the anime is like 'a battle of wits hoho' but Goku's purity is part of the joke he's not snippy he's just got no social etiquette#He's just honest! He's not trying to be insulting. That's what MAKES it insulting! That's the WHOLE GAG of why Vegeta can't stand him#Goku is always just telling the truth and it's always the rudest shit Vegeta's ever heard in his life#'it's a sunny day! i'm way stronger than you! see you out there bud!' 10000% Genuinely Friendly. Golden Retriever-Ass Pure.#Infuriating. Hilarious.#anyway I looked at anime clips to make sure I remembered things right and that was a mistake#as someone who has a soft spot for it and grew up on it -- compared to the manga it's bad and it's always been bad#and toriyama was right to be disinterested in watching it jesus christ they BUTCHERED his work#anyway this has been another shot of haterade with sketches thank you for scrolling my rambletags askljdask#dbtag#i just truly can't get over how they make Vegeta call her 'woman' in the anime and he literally only ever calls her Bulma in the manga#except for on namek when he refers to her as 'the/that woman' because she is a complete stranger#why is he calling her woman like he's a 1940s american husband and not an extraterrestrial from a deeply advanced society toei

I feel in my bones (in my teeth) a sense of ominous foreboding (random pain) about the future (probably a cavity or the wisdom teeth I haven’t had removed) that won’t go away (I refuse to go to the dentist because I hate him)… no one knows what this could possibly mean (worse dental work in the future)
#i will figure it out in the next three and a half years before I lose my insurance#my night guard is cracked in multiple places and I can see a couple cavities#so I need to go anyway#but i would like it if it would just stop hurting#so I could not have to see a dentist in winter#because they gave my dad Covid last time#and they’re already pissing me off for a lot#dentist didn’t show up to his own damn appointment and the backup guy said nothing about my xrays#then when he got back passive aggressively asked why I hadn’t got my wisdom teeth out that I didn’t know were there because see above point#and they never believe me that the anaesthetics don’t fucking work and I need like a horse sized dose#I just keep telling myself that getting wisdom teeth out early is an American thing#and if I ignore it it’ll probably be fine#I didn’t used to hate the dentist despite them all telling me I’m anxious and hysterical and uncooperative#it really is only the wisdom teeth thing and the condescending bullshit and the lack of functional numbing agents

"raza" is actually referring to the coming american race (the cosmic race, some might say)
#they just don't know it yet#50 years from now you'll have totally white/anglo looking people#with hispanic last names#who have a technically legitimate claim to being part of the “raza”#just look at intermarriage rates between whites and latinos#i suspect within the next hundred years mestizos will basically be looked at as#america's equivalent of southern europeans#also i don't know how it is in other parts of the country#but here in california there's also a pretty significant number of eurasians/hapas#they're interesting -- i think they are an underdiscussed part of the coming american race#they are frequently high iq and high achieving and part of the elite class#and they seem to be welcomed as “white americans” pretty seamlessly#for the most part anyway -- of course i've heard stories of some really racist white people that don't accept them#but even my hometown has a very white-eurasian upper class#lol one of my last “crushes” was this hapa girl and she was the daughter of some business executive millionaire guy#who was very active in local politics#he was very waspy#and she was mostly white passing#like you could kinda tell she had some asian in her but it wasn't super obvious#she was kinda ethnically ambiguous -- central asian looking#but anyway i just think it's funny#that the races that are most common and most likely to intermarry (whites + asians and whites + hispanics)#are like all the descendants/parts of the ancient north eurasians#and i just think it would be funny if we recreated them

Sometimes I remember my family is, overall, very very stupid
#vent#personal stuff#they want trump to win and i must remind you we're latines they're brown skinned our grandma was indigenous#and they have never ever set a foot in north america like at all#and if i tell them just a fraction of what a piece of work trump is they will be like 'of course he's awful' like they're aware#and they still want him to win and it's not that they think he's the lesser of evils or something they just are stupid i suppose#and i shall lower my head and pretend to not exist because that's how i survived my 25 years with them i guess disagreeing is no option#they literally don't want Kamala Harris to allow venezuelan inmigrants to enter America there must be some seriously grave issue#some serious grave issue in their brain bc how can your compassion be that fricking low when you also know what ppl go through to leave#-sigh- i'm tired#anyways if you're american go vote for the love of whatever you like

whos worse for each other. butchlander or ozycom
That is the question of the century I think, I'm inclined to say butchlander because in an alternative universe I could actually see ozycom making it work in a way that's at least a little better for each other
#BY A VERY NARROW MARGIN#i have no reasoning for this. it is just what my soul tells me#butchlander is one of those ships however where i desperately want to teleport the characters involved into real life to show it them#to see their reactions because the sheer amusement i would feel would make probably being murdered worth it#even when it's not something i personally ship. it'd just be comedy gold to me#i would full on do a bad impersonation of butcher's accent on purpose. and i am british#i would literally put on an american accent to pretend to do a bad british accent#my autistic self hates eye contact and drinking milk but i would stare at homelander without blinking#while chugging all milk in the vicinity just so he cannot drink any#anyway i do actually find them fascinating as characters and i don't know how i got on that tangent of just#declaring how i would try to really annoy them#thorn answers#the boys#watchmen

just thinking about how much the episode about the pregnant photographer would fuck house up in omegaverse... i imagine he would still take the same position, the life of the mother is more important than the baby, but i think he would feel just that much more upset, and maybe even a little conflicted on it. in my headcanon he would be pretty far along in the pregnancy when he lost it, and would relate so much to her and refuse to admit it.
like partially he needs to stand firmly on her losing the baby to save her life to cope with the feelings he has around his own miscarriage, ans justify him surviving while his baby didnt in his own mind. but also at the same time, he remembers what its like to lose a baby and be left alone, and that part of him desperately wants to see her suceed, but he tries to drown it out with the logical part of his mind.
but ohhh the part where the baby grabs his finger mid surgery? GOD that would fuck him up. I cant even imagine how much that would take him back to his miscarriage and humanize his lost baby. I feel like that would really be a turning point for him in his choice to try have another pup
HE WOULD he wouldn't compromise his medical opinion in mgv OF COURSE but. but he'd have some personal feelings. that case definitely does the worst thing to him: it brings out the omega in him. to the point it's whispering at him nonstop in the back of his mind. he does his best to ignore the feelings and memories
...... but then the surgery. fuck. it shuts everything else in his head up. his eyes get misty. suddenly realizes the pup he lost, that he tries not to think about and still hasn't processed the loss of after all this time, would be in elementary school. he's on the verge of whining when he catches himself. were scent blockers not mandatory PPE his scent would be tinged with notes of something warm, something sad.
for the first time in a long time, his logical brain and hindbrain are in agreement. she's getting a second chance. i can give myself one too.
#asks#certified-moth#mgv#house md#sidenote that episode fucked me up from the very beginning bc i listened to sooo much all american rejects back in the day#and that was BEFORE the rest of the episode fucked me up#i was thinking about the hilson pup being a surprise to them but this ask got me pondering#how. devious. it would be if house purposefully stopped using his birth control for his heats#without telling wilson (they help each other's cycles but aren't officially anything)#not baby trapping exactly but something similar. but also later realizes as much as he WANTS the pup#he CANT fuck up their friendship. that would be a whole arc in itself#hoghhh. aouhg. he wants a pup and he wants wilson in his life somehow even just as friends but either way choosing just one upsets him#no matter what he chooses. because he's already convinced himself that the perfect option of having them both in his life is unattainable

I ended up making a second regency spencer in the span of two days to be a replica of one Assumpta wore in one of her other films that I love, and I headcanon Teresa wore in the early 1800's, so essentially I'm doing a little headcanon pre-war Teresa cosplay while I'm here...but anyways, I went to a huge store with every possible thing you could need for costume/sewing/craft supplies and met a kind man who, when I explained what my supplies were for (Dos de Mayo/Napoleonic Wars), he gives me a conspiratorial look and said "We hate the French." to which I replied "Good, me too!!" and we talked more shit about the French as he helped me out and it was AMAZING.
#;ooc#(him: you are english?)#(me#reluctantly: no american)#(him: but they gave you freedom!)#(me: doesn't mean i have to like them!!!!! i like spain better)#(him: i can tell!! :) )#(there was also a sweet old man who helped me out the other day and i had to come back for more help)#(and he stopped next to the guy helping me and said i was very sweet and my spanish was very good)#(despite me speaking english with the current helper LMFAO)#(me: necesito practicar mucho más!!)#(current guy: i understand but this isn't the best place to do it...) and boy was he right#(i struggled. but i got what i wanted and more)
