It physically pains me to hear people call it san fran
#i did too tho before i moved there#it's just 'the city' or 'sf'#i live in pdx with a lot of folks from the bay#which A yeah its just 'the bay' not the sf bay area#and B a huge tell that theyre from the bay is if they refer to downtown as 'the city' cause yeah sf is just 'the city'#youll specify if you mean San jose#had an unstable childhood but ive lived in the bay longer than anywhere else its what i consider home#going back for 4 days for new years since i couldn't for christmas#ive been homesick it's been a whole year somehow

Guys, they're literally the same person
My childhood trauma gets to resurface ONCW AGAIN!
#smiling friends#sf brittney#smiling friends brittney#courage#courage the cowardly dog#fr tho#the only thing that scared me in courage was the damn violin girl#everytime i watched that episode I'd run out of the room when the scene played#now i just avoid the episode altogether#the episode is courage and the big stinking city if anyone wants to know

Despite having plenty of other associations with San Francisco, having lived til the age of nine right next door, I still more than anything think of Eight whenever I come back to visit, and just. I go wherever I go in the city and I see Eight and Fitz wandering around holding hands, playing at being weirdly-dressed gay English tourists and my heart is just excruciatingly tender about it
#megan whines into the empty abyss of cyberspace#eighth doctor#eighth doctor adventures#fitz kreiner#I love sf I really do#it's a city with many problems and unique issues as all cities are but I love it so so much#and also on top of that I just. blorbos...#it's also a city where you can see examples of the blue angel house on every other street

Mechanical Bull - Zach Bryan / Images of California collected from Pinterest
#aware this song was not written in reference to California in the slightest#but it hit home for me nonetheless and made me think of my home in the Sierras of California#California is just as country as the states surrounding it but that is so often overshadowed by the few big cities down south and SF#California country#western photography#Zach Bryan#the great American bar scene#nature#wanna brainwash queue#SoundCloud

Based on “The City on The Edge of Forever” and “The Search For Spock” you really should not leave a drugged out McCoy alone for even a second, he will just immediately get himself into trouble and need to be rescued.
#star trek#TOS#leonard mccoy#the city on the edge of forever#the search for spock#so i just rewatched the city on the edge of forever#this is referring to when they nerve pinch him on the planet and then everyone just turns away from him for some reason#and in sfs kirk says that mccoy is fine and just sedated and by himself

The Muses hit me with some random inspiration today so here’s a proper design sheet for He of the Lingering Smog and the Glittering Lights, aka Hollywood Angel, aka the God of Los Angeles, featuring the script Chahvinik by @thecrazyneographist.
He’s mostly based on the name of his city, the fashion sense of the famous bit of Humanity that calls him home (clothing is half gala dress, half black tie suit), all the ink those writers use up, paparazzi, Hollywood’s history of censorship, the smog that blankets his land, the manipulative nature of the industry, and the horses of the Spanish who took the land for the Angels.
#worldbuilding#layered earth#character design#angel design#i mean hes literally the god of the city called ‘the angels’#and when hes playing at being human his name is ‘Angel’ if hes feeling male or ‘Holly’ if hes feeling female#gods dont have set genders around here#most of them just get called ‘he’ or ‘she’ or ‘it’ or ‘they (singular)’ or ‘they (plural)’ and roll with it#san francisco is only a she because she has known a lot of ships who are usually shes and just went aight seems neat#while los angeles learned that the article in his name was male and went okay that works#now san diego is a they (singular) for no particular reason#and san jose is a they (plural) because they represent a number of smaller cities not represented by oakland or sf#and oakland is a she for the same reason as sf#theres also the collective god of california who is some abomination named it of the golden poppies and the mountain-tall evergreens#though it really should take on some epithet to reference the earthquakes and fires and other nonsense#traditional art#oc

i was trying to make up side characters for @8um8le's space friends and thought "every show needs a grump"
i'm not gonna finish this though, so y'all can have it now o7
#2024#in which crown gets hogtied lmao#stellar city#sc space friends#sf hills#sf crown#sf roach#you might be thinking 'ezra there is already a bug character' to which i say: i like bugs there are never enough bugs#i wanted roach to have a hat that keeps his face in permanent shadow bc it makes him look angrier and more menacing if just a bit#it's also silly thinking like… he looks tall compared to the boys but he's probably only like 5'5'' at best haha#i think it'd be funny if roach was like jarringky kind to everyone other than the main boys#like he takes his hat off and holds it too his chest and does a lil bow with a sweet smile#and the boys are like wtf you only hate us??? and yes yes he does#man… i have never drawn more comics than when i started hyperfixating on sun and moon that's so wild#actually i think almost all the stuff i've drawn since that started in sept have made me so happy#feels like my love of art increased tenfold it's insane#and that love feels the most prominent when i'm just… doodling other people's au and oc on here lately yknow?#so much joy packed in that even if they never see it: this was just some normal person's little world that i get to visit for a little while#that's so special to me#anyway that's probably too much introspection for today so!#thanks for reading these tags if you did :) i hope you all have a lovely day xoxoxo

Oh look, the one term progressive didn’t magically wave her fingers and get all those tents off the sidewalks and out from under the underpasses, so I guess a more centrist white dude is the answer?
#like this happened in sf not just here#but i liked our city councilor#and this new dude did things like#use pics of her that made her look darker and fatter#so fuck you phil

how it feels having survived the concert gauntlet (Orville Peck and then The Longest Johns with only 5 days between) and also my covid/flu vaccination wombo combo
#I had a day of all but literal hibernation between the exhaustion and side effects of the jabs#sleep wake up drink eat repeat for the whole day#i intend to do nothing exciting again for the rest of the year that was a lot#so much fun tho I have had so much enrichment I miss concerts (even if my feet don't)#(also mental note to BUY A FAN for them going forward)#next time I see Orville I'm splurging for a meet n greet his stage presence was just so much fun#I even got to meander around sf again I forgot how much I love it there- tho not the smell. Ankh-Morpok ass smellin city#but I hit up my favorite snack place in japantown and found a cool weird little bar with cool weird locals

movin to Seattle this summer. partially because it's kinda the transsexual city of the USA, but mostly because good lord the forests and trees and greenery still present in the city fixes my brain good
#i currently reside in sf and like#while its definitely a fine and safe place to live as a trans person (as it generally is in every major us city)#the queer culture here among the Current Generation is basically “sf is faggot city” (derogatory)#trans women just passively get excluded from a lot of shit here#it's not just me experiencing this#and i'm not the first among my trans friends to just move up the coast to seattle where all the girls are at now

a PSA
no one can stop you from saying "San Fran," but please know that every time a Californian reads it they take 50pts of psychic damage
#posts I created#you can call it SF or San Francisco#but not San Fran or Frisco#that's deranged#(also Frisco is a city in Texas)#no one who has lived here for longer than a month would ever ever say that#like again I can't stop you. but I can block you#if you are writing something that takes place in CA#and someone who lives in CA says that I will close your story and never finish reading it#if you live in the Bay Area you might call SF 'the city'#you *might* call Oakland 'the town' but it's not likely in my experience YMMV#mostly we just say. San Francisco. Oakland. Berkeley. Marin. etc#on the other hand if you want to signal or shorthand 'tourist'#then sure have a character say it#(I will still take 50pts psychic damage though 😅)#PS: Otis Redding is the one exception#Otis Redding you're amazing and can call SF whatever you want#Otis Redding I miss you

starscream got himself a harem in earthspark? im pissing myself
genderbending like half the cast is interesting. i wonder why they decided that? just for fun?
well, i like it. ive been thinking about harems a lot so it was funny. and also i want to draw it. fundamentally im never in favor of this but im not taking it seriously anyways
usually i prefer genderbending just starscream and leaving sw and tc as male. reverse harem. but like this too. idk why i never thought about it before
#ngl i can see why there was controversy about this show#its ehhhhhhhhh#its like. one side of the scale is wfc and the other side is this but theyre the same coin#idgaf i heard ss shows up thats why im watching it#ppl told me ss has great character development but this is also the crowd that thing character development is just redemption#and the only way he can grow is by being redeemed. soooooo#not really a fan of ss being redeemed. i like it sometimes but only#augh its not really redemption. i like it when he breaks out of the vicious cycle internally but still has to fight the one externally.#'decepticons attacked san francisco' FINALLY!!!! FINALLY SF TAKES CASUALTIES IN MEDIA#I HATE THAT CITY#i dont really like how expressive sw sounds. ill probably get used to it ig#also i hate the new cast. ht can stay but fuck jb and ns especially ns#by new i mean excluding the human kids and the terran twins#i dont like them either but its the kind of dislike i have for all MCs nothing personal. i might like them eventually.#theyre written annoyingly but with damage control so i can ignore it and pretend theyre written not annoyingly#the characterization isnt bad tho. of the kids. the pre-existing guys tho.....#how a show portrays op is a pretty good indicator how good the show gonna be thats all i gotta say

as someone who was born and raised in the bay area it drives me fucking mental seeing transplants and people who don’t even live here talking shit about san francisco like the only people allowed to have a love-hate relationship with the city are people who are from here. your rando opinion is irrelevant and harmful and i’m fucking tired of it.
#acting like things that happen in SF don’t happen in literally every other major city in the world#is peak ignorant dumbass behavior#and i hope you choke :)#and just say you hate the unhoused population with your whole chest#because that’s exactly it

thinking about the fact that apparently the mu.tant may.hem junior novelization ended before SF went kaiju mode & it just kinda ended like 'well if he ever comes back, they'll be ready' which just makes me think like...........AU where SF never resurfaced but he is, in fact, still lurking out there as a whale creature. what's he doin down there? idk, stewing ig /SILLY
#WEREWOLF RAMBLES. / OOC.#( no but this is like the funniest thing abt MM i know like what do u MEAN the novel ended before that happened!!!!!!!!! girl!!!!#i was clowning on it (affectionate) w/ a buddy at one point where we were quoting htat one spongebob scene gkkJGHKJ#the turtles: we did it! we saved the city! :]#SF in the bg: [actively destroying NYC] /SILLY#anywho; idk if ill elaborate on this AU its more just like a 'what if' but who knows ive gotten attached to sillier ideas before loll )

wow proximity anxiety is real...I'm back in my San Francisco apartment in order to pick up some things and go to a friend's housewarming party after spending a month back home in SoCal, but being just two blocks away from where I was attacked has turned me into a nervous prey animal I stg. Due to the abduction attempt, recent rent hikes, and the shitty job market, I'm basically moving back in with my mom in SB and it feels like crap knowing I'm gonna have to dismantle all my hard work (picture frames, rugs, furniture, decorations, etc) and leave the place I called home for almost 3 years. Definitely feel caught in limbo rn, and I hate that I'm too anxious to do anything on my own while I'm here. Even the thought of walking up to the gym to empty my locker gets me worked up because I'd have to go through the exact area where I got jumped and grabbed. I'm hoping this'll fade with time, as it's only been a month or so since it happened, because I hate being so avoidant of everything and not being able to sleep.
#personal#lord knows if I spot any tall men wearing hoodies in the neighborhood I'll freak out#I'm just pissed that one horrible guy ruined my favorite city for me#ripped any feeling of confidence or safety to pieces#but yeah just crazy how big of a difference there is in my anxiety levels being back in SF#it's definitely harder to function here and I barely want to leave my apartment#because the place it happened is literally in the direct line of sight from the front lobby#I'm sure it'll ebb eventually but thank god I dont feel this way is santa barbara#at least not most of the time#still kinda edgy downtown especially around panhandlers or homeless people#bc the guy who attacked me was almost definitely on drugs#like heavy percs#and it makes me feel bad but it is what it is#just want to get this trip over with and finish the move ASAP#hopefully I can start over fresh in SB
