Going absolutely nuts today thinking about the Clapham Transport Museum in the 1960s.
The social dynamic here is incredible, rail-vehicle-wise (I dunno much about the road vehicles tbh). Majority of them are fresh into retirement after insanely long working careers. Most of them who have been out of service a long time have been languishing for 15+ years in solitary storage. All of them have dealt, largely alone, with grief and loss and war and the pressures of being Engine Emeritus, Last of My Kind.
... and now they're clean, and displayed, and visited in a shiny new museum.
They're finally surrounded by others like themselves.
They once again have peers.
They are able to network with the wider world.
They all have unaddressed trauma.
And it's the Swinging Sixties, baby!
Long story short, I've decided they spent most of the decade having insane after-hours parties. Also, the Kinks definitely recorded an album there.
#coppernob things#ttte plot inspiration#the kinks DID do a photoshoot at clapham#probably in conjunction with their song 'last of the steam-powered trains'#i learned that today and i was GONE#ray davies is definitely gonna be a character in this series#celebrities WILL be harmed in the making of this fanfic#anyway yeah they’re all badly in need of a hedonistic manic phase#and i’m gonna give it to them

Just here to say yes, I am in fact with all the elitists and gatekeepers when it comes to punk. Yeah your DIY sucks, no it's not punk there isn't a single fucking punk band on there, and yes I'm pointing and laughing with my cool ass friends. Get with it or fuck off, we're busy having a good time
#crust punk#i dont know fucking diy or whatever man fuck you boring ass nerds youre all lame#it took me giving a fuck and learning and getting made fun of to get to where I am today#I listen to the music I got involved I made friends and I fucking learned from those that knew better than me#you fucking shitters are giving punk a bad name and stripping all the good shit off of it like its your fucking sub culture to mess with#but hey you'll all be gone eventually when the next trend hits of you get bored and I'll be here with my friends still having a good time

#destiel#deancas#spn polls#spn supernatural#today i learned polls can have more than ten options now!#please reblog this and explain your reasoning in the comments if you want <3#i've been thinking a lot about this because i think depending on when it went canon#it would have both changed nothing and made the show a 100x better#anyway i also wanna do an episode asking which specific episode it should have gone canon#but first i gotta narrow those down#and maybe see some consensus from this poll

been trying out a new writing technique recently and it's called chilling tf out and reminding myself that fic is written for fun.
#making a little joke but also being genuinely serious#with my merwaincelot wip i've embraced having little overviews in brackets for what i want to happen#but idk how to write it just yet#if i'm feeling stuck or bored#and if i'm getting tired or the idea of writing an ending is getting overwhelming then i just call it a day and do something else#and yeah it's taking longer to write things (perhaps gone are the days when i wrote and posted a fic in the same night)#but it's working wonders with my brain#and it's amazing how as soon as i relax i get hit with several new ideas#just trying to adjust my thinking in that projects over a long period of time are not something to worry about#like i'm also planning a knitting project that i'll be doing well into september#(mainly bc yarn is expensive and my needs are hella specific)#but that's okay!#not everything has to be done and dusted immediately!#i'm glad i took a break from writing and i think it did do me good but damn i'm happy to be back#and enjoy still learning how to get even more out of my hobby#but anyway i'm just feeling a lil proud of myself today so#lit talks#personal

sorry for only saying this type of shit lately but i kinda wanna drive a car straight into a brick wall at the highest speed possible
#trying to keep it together so bad because i already know the problems and solutions and whatnot but i cannot do anything#i desperately just need to do something. accomplish any task. actually several would be nice. but i cannot stand just letting life go by#while i watch other people have the things i want. or even metaphorically living my dream like. that should be me why am i settling for thi#i hate even talking about this because i feel so stupid when i know it's not even a real tangible problem and that i actually DO have real#problems to tackle and the ability to do so but i'm choosing to be upset over the stupidest things i could possibly be sad about#and i can't even be sad about it in a normal way i'm cycling through like several different reactions to smth that isn't even real#or if it is real i literally do not have tanglible evidence for it one way or another like i'm driving myself insane for no reason#i can't even get catharsis because all i'm doing is digging a deeper hole for something i never should've gone back into in the first place#because i KNOW how i am i KNOW how i react to things and i still chose to do it lmao.#and i continue to choose to go through this shit instead of actively trying to change my life because... i'm lazy? and stupid? idk#negative self-talk isn't gonna get me to do anything either so let's just say i'm feeling particularly unmotivated like usual#i hated being a teenager but i really do miss when all my problems just amounted to 'someone was mean to me on tumblr today :(' or i failed#a test in chemistry or something. like i yearn for that simplicity becasue at this point all i'm doing is ruining my own life LMAO#i'm too scared to live i'm too scared to die so i just sit here and fantasize that life could be amazing if i wait#and i'll magically get everything i've ever wanted if i just wait long enough. and i know it isn't true and i still wait for it to happen.#because honestly like. i think deep down i am just convinced i will fail at anything i do when that shouldn't be what scares me.#what scares me should be never even allowing myself to fail because i never tried to do anything at all with myself or my life#like. wake the fuck up. get off your ass and put in the effort. learn some skills. gain independence and stability and discipline and do it#just live please i'm begging you just live so i can be happy don't i deserve to be happy... why am i not letting myself be happy#i'm literally keeping myself trapped in this negative feedback loop ON PURPOSE because teehee shiny toy#and it doesn't matter if the love is real it doesn't matter how i feel like i'm just using it as a distraction i can't say it's motivation#because it's barely motivated me at all. i have to start being realistic. 25 & just realizing you actually have to participate in your life#anyways. i've cried i've agonized i've pictured killing myself in 30 different ways. i think the only way i'm gonna feel better is#to just actually try this time without giving up. wish me luck

MAY be that i'm cute as hell and employable as hell..
#WEEEEEE#i started doing‚‚ like‚ space buns but also low space buns i love itttt#makes me happy#and i got complimented today 🥺 on my hair and my . pink glow🩷#ok i don't know how employable i mess up sometimes and i don't think i do well under pressure but#i will just voice my insecurities and let them pass because the coworkers are probably not whispering about how stupid slow and clumsy i#am when they talk quietly with each other‚ i don't need to think that‚ they just know each other better and don't want to let customers hear#and it's just gossip it's fine. and there is no way i'm that bad it's just unrealistic#and i will learn + be forgiven.#ok letting it go it's gone now! most people don't hate me and i'm allowed to just be

honestly, as much as i want jay's feelings to get more space and be examined more closely, i'm kinda glad that didn't happen in super son. 40 pages really isn't that much and i felt like they were very needed for jon, it wouldn't have been as good if they'd have split the panel time between the both of them equally.
#jay should've gotten his own special imo#the (re-)invasion of his country and his mother's death kicked off this event and his character deserves the space to explore all that#but from someone who likes jon just a little bit better than jay (don't shoot me) i'm. happy isn't the right word. that space wasn't given#here#though that would've still been better than what we've got now which is nothing so. mh. double edged sword#anyway. i have high hopes for the future today#though some part of me fears a joint ongoing if they get anything#and idk i don't want that i need jon to be by himself (with jay as a very regular supporting character of course)#but the chances of jay getting his own ongoing are slim to nil ... ugh maybe the hopes are gone lol#i do want them together. i do want jay to be explored more. but i also want jon to learn to stand on his own to feet#on that note i also don't want them to move in together#and if they do i hope it's gonna be a mess

There should be a Don't Let's Start: A Podcast About They Might Be Giants but for Sparks
#for those who don't know it's a very in-depth and throughoutly researched podcast about the band#has everything from its history to the very many possible or more or less confirmed pop culture references they put in their songs#while we're at it there should also be a TMBW for sparks#so anyway what prompted me to say this#is that just today i learned that the whole premise of how do i get to carnegie hall#comes from an actual real life anecdote about the venue#and that there's a movie called ride 'em cowboy#how many more references am i still unaware of???#actually if anybody knows of any cool sparks podcasts or anything of such kind i would love to hear about it#also i just went on google podcasts to check something and it says that they're no longer available??? like. the entire platform is gone??#RIP to all the podcast pages i had saved to listen to later i guess!!!#ok they moved to youtube music apparently. good thing that i'm not a US citizen so they're not available for me. awesome! 😄#goosepost

Scrimbly Jacqueline 39/52: it's MY birthday week, I chose the scrimble!!!
And it's a bb Jacqueline and a Blaise! AN EXTINGUISHED BLAISE! Jacqueline has just gotten the drop on him, and you know how it is. When you've almost just lost this child forever, a little bit of slush on your shoulders and burnt-out hair is nothing compared to what could've been.
"Dani are you telling us this takes place POST Day of Darkness?!?!?!?!"
Yes. Yes I am.
Honestly, I chose this one for bday week bc I've been DYING to attempt Blaise when his hair isn't on fire. It looks pretty okay! But I am upset I didn't give myself more space to colour it. NEXT TIME, GADGET.
Blaise Burnt-Out Hair Facts:
Grows up, not down.
If he does not keep it constantly at a decent height it will resemble a haystack or perhaps, a tornado
Jack deffs gets his hair genes from this man lmao.
Looks like a combo of this sims 2 default men's hair and mine own husband's hair on a good day
Pyros's hair grows down. Another one of the fun ways to tell the difference between the two, lmao, saturation aside!
Both Blaise and Pyros have those two lil sticky outtie bits that just won't quit--you can't see Blaise's here bc I didn't give myself enough ROOM but it's cool. It's fine. NEXT TIME
Had a whole ass crisis last night after finishing this. I thought it was terrible. I wanted to cry about it. I went to bed and woke up this morning and it's not too bad! Next time the hands will be neater, the smoke/steam will look more like smoke/steam, AND there will be more space to colour Blaise's hair! But for now HERE! TAKE MY TWO FAVES TO CAP OFF BDAY WEEK 🥳🥳🥳🥳
#dani speaks#dani doodles#scrimbly jacquelines#ocs#cs posting#crystal springs#THE COLOURING IS SO MESSY#I SHOULD'VE GONE TO BED AND COLOURED IT TODAY!!!!#nts: add id in alt post dins#but ye this is post dod and probably after blaise wakes up from HIS massive sprite sleep post thawing out the entire gd country#he and summer are like 🤝🏽 with sprite sleeps after THAT whole thing lol#and that's why jacqueline's so leetle and has her hair thawed!!!#she only learns to freeze dry at like. ten. hundred.#BUT!! I DID add some blue and white tones bc she and winter just had a very fun 2 months together#i'm sure she played with jacqueline's hair w/ various snow blows and freeze dries and variations there off lol#RIGHT. ENJOY

personally i like to envision a time where matt tries to be a dick and rags on foggy for his snacks and foggy just shoots back asking matt what's with the large coke sitting on his desk then. that's the second large coke i've seen grace your desk this week. and it's not even a bottle you got at the store that's a cup. that's a large cup. should i mention the can in the garbage too. and matt shuts up from there for the afternoon.
#there's been too many times matt has mentioned or been seen with a hashtag Soda for anyone to convince me he isnt a soda enjoyer. he is.#i think this would also work with matt's hypocritical nature. i can absolutely see him being hypocritical about food. because he sucks bad#i also think he definitely has his own special junk snacks he likes and indulges in regularly as more than just a now and then treat.#foggy goes see if you'd just be honest and say it's the smell instead of going it's the smell while also ragging on my weight it wouldnt be#such a big deal. matthew. but youre being an asshole and so i will Not. let this slide.#matt just grumbles. one day matt will learn he is not better than others about food even if that day isnt today#also for the specific mention of coke it is due to the panels that live in my mind of him offering to take tchalla out for a coke after#they teamed up on a patrol. and also the panel of him where he's like having comics mcdonalds and smiling while drinking his sodie pop.#also i think matt's personal choice of junk snack is definitely like snack cake type things. this is from discussion of hostess pie ads#he was featured in that alex and i had many months ago.#and gummy candies. because i think he'd like gummies. put a bag of gummy sharks in his vicinity and it will be gone rather soon.#static.soundz

not having the bestest of days but realising how far ive come.
my fam are going away but they're not too worried about leaving me home alone. tough day at work but i spoke to my coworkers about it (those kids are, apparently, just tricky). home alone but i ate and didn't compensate. no one around but i didn't exceed my exercise limit. self destructive urges but i stayed clean. bored but i read instead of scrolling. spent a while in bed but i got up. lonely but i reached out and am calling a friend soon.
idk it sounds so small but today i was getting so worried that my life was just gonna revert back to how it was before uni. suddenly i notice that its so drastically different even if the circumstances are similar.
#its so silly#im the one who didnt make plans for after exams#little fool#wish i'd gone away w my fam and maybe i could have#i doubt they left that long before my shift ended#but hey!! this is what the coping mechanisms i have been learning are for!!!#(plus today i noticed that i could eat breakfast/dinner in like?? 10 mins??? aka a normal period of time???)#(itty bitty me eating each meal for aeons would never even understand why id like that but its mighty convenient)
