Can't believe the entire suburb of Footscray rests on Trent's bony little Italian shoulders
#make them proud Trent#this is make or break for the suburb#All the hard work in making footscray a respectable suburb since the 2016 premiership rests on Trent's shoulders#this is it#this is what all the hard work has been for#this is everything they've worked for#and it is now up to Trent to fly the flag for the suburb and make them proud#Trent has been chosen to be the face of Footscray#with his beautiful curls to live for#his face on all the billboards around Footscray motivating them all to be better and close the injecting rooms and choose love not drugs and#no I'm kidding that's really mean#I'm sorry Footscray#it is a great suburb#their train station is pretty cool#they've jazzed it up and it's right near Darcy Moore Street and#if Trent beats SA then they'll make him mayor of Footscray#give him the key to the suburb#closes down injecting rooms and turns them into gay bars#in honour of Bailey Smith the fallen dog#Bailey's been trying to shut down injecting rooms for years but then he died#he gets resurrected by the Daicos brothers and they teach him to walk again at the Collingwood football club#'where am i' Bailey groans squinting around at all the shining trophies and sparkling gym equipment#'you're home' Nick Daicos answers as Josh looks at himself in the mirror and combs his hair#Bailey's eyes light up at the full length mirror and gravitates toward it#okay this post is out of control#oh where was i#oh yeah Trent being the face of Footscray#The hero#scray saviour#i don't know

i am actually so tired of the way westerners treat eastern europeans
#fair warning for. a very very long ramble and rant in the tags. apologies#westerner or russian. no other option#westerner because the only thought they ever have is 'but they had universal housing so if you oppose ussr you oppose that'#(which is stupid becuse you can believe in that WITHOUT WANTING LIKE 6 COUNTRIES TO BE FORCED TO BE RULED OVER BY RUSSIA)#(SORRY FOR WANTING TO LIVE IN MY COUNTRY WITH MY HISTORY AND MY CULTURE AND NOT RUSSIA!!) (poland was a sattelite state but GOD)#or russian because they have a victim complex and are convinced that they deserve to rule over the entire damn world#'well you had universal housing so you had it easy' right yeah. okay. forget about like. everything else that happened#to eastern europeans during that time#forget about the things that are STILL issues all these years later not only in poland but like the more eastern countries too#its not about. the fact that the houses 'didnt have 3 bedrooms and a jacuzzi' in them. you DUMB SACK OF SHIT#god sorry. sorry. i also know so very little but like god damn i fucking live here. i didnt sit thru all that modern history#for some dumbfuck to say that 'ohhh only rich and american middle class people are happy the ussr was dissolved'#'oooh the dissolving of the ussr was illegal and the countries within it actually liked being there'#im just so fucking tired man i need to. i need to start killing people#and this is all not to mention that theyll say this stupid shit and then deny eastern europeans the things they actually did that were good#FUCK french people for trying to claim maria skłodowska. fuck americans for trying to claim the witcher as their own fantasy world#fuck the way the west is allowed to claim and destroy eastern european culture without any consequence because we dont matter enough#vaguely related but ill throw this in here since anyone finding it is unlikely and im scared of having this opinion#i think one underappreciated aspect of DE (which might be underappreciated because its not actually there and im stupid)#is that its pro-communist while still also giving some criticism to how it was handled and acknowledging that its still not perfect#which makes the writers much better communists than any self-proclaimed one ive ever met in my life who just worships the idea#perhaps its because the writers of the game were not white upper middle-class americans living in the suburbs. among other things#idk de is a game for people far smarter than me and i only played it once and im sure anyone who played it well can clock me as a bad perso#horrible horrible person even which is why im scared of mentioning it. but its an interesting thing. to me#the main thing is that im just not. im not far left enough i suppose. i agree communism in theory is a great idea. as far as i know it#(which isnt very far)#but chances of implementing it correctly in a way that doesnt take away from peoples happiness in other areas is. low. very low#i wrote a short essay about how utopias are inherently contradictory ideas once it wasnt very deep or good but like#you cant have universal happiness without restricting certain freedoms. and when those freedoms are resticted not everyone#will be happy. and then theyre unhappy they will have to be somehow removed or ignored

heyoooooooo
9, 14, 20, 26
9. Best childhood moment?
No single memory, but all my collective memories of going to visit my aunt and uncle at their lake-house are some of my favorites. I loved being on a boat and swimming is really the only way to get me physically active even now. But yeah, visiting there was always a blast and my favorite part of summer break as a kid.
14. What's something upcoming that you’re excited for?
Ngl, everyone in my fam has decided they're going to plan ALL they're events in fuckin October for some reason and I've just been trying to take it day by day recently. Honestly, my first thought was "for the holidays to be over" lol, because this shit is just getting started. FUCK THIS DRAFT THE TRAILER FOR SUBNAUTICA 2 JUST DROPPED AND THATS WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO HOLY SHIT LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO
20. Tell us about a memory you hold close to your heart
Sneaking out to go star gazing on the roof with my best friend/partner ❤. I was still living with my folks at the time and they were still V E R Y helicopter-y even as I was going to college. I was finally getting fed up enough to start rebelling and around that time there was a small meteor shower going on that my partner's whole fam was planning to stay up for until like 3 A.M. He invited me and that might actually be the first time I've ever snuck out in the middle of the night. His fam turned in a bit earlier than they were intending, but myself and my partner stayed up until 4 just chatting and watching the shooting stars
26. If you could live anywhere with anyone you want, where would it be and who would you bring?
Nearby a lake ❤ with my partner. Ideally forestry in the front yard, and a big ass lake in the back. Really, I just love being near the water. Beaches are nice too, but I would much prefer to live by a lake. I live in a desert and summers. suc. It climbs up to 115F in summer and stepping outside immediately puts me in a bad mood and I hate it 💀.
#listen#deserts are very beautiful- under-rated- and important ecologic systems#that said-the only thing i hold against them is that i live in one#there are really only 3 things I like about living here#1. My favorite brewery is here and its a vibe#2. the lack of trees actually gives a great view of the night sky even in the suburbs. not a lot is obstructed and its quite nice#3. listening to Welcome to Night Vale in the evenings while having a cold one on the back porch is PEAK immersive experience#didn't mean to take this long to respond#had to go to a wedding yesterday#i havent even decorated for halloween yet#there are 3 more family events this month not including halloween#i want to be a worm#worms dont have familial obligations#ask game#answers#asks#shippingmyworld

#this is literally my library of alexandria. those bitches were cool + a great orientation point for knowing where tf in the suburbs i was#‘you literally don’t even live there anymore and have no intention of going back’ doesn’t matter. tragedy
