i love making posts on my rick shades blog that are just me doing my stupid and silly me things, bc i have the smallest chance of people calling ME rick shades, and just that possibility makes me sit there with glee bc i get to imagine rick doing the same stupid shit i do. on the other hand i am scared of ppl assuming im just a rick shades rp blog, which is not the case. like rp blogs are perfectly fine, but im just a silly little guy who relates far too much to a silly little FICTIONAL guy

anyways this started about me getting platonic crushes on people, im sitting here like kicking my legs and twirling my hair like OMGGG WHAT IF WE WERE FRIENDSSS WE SHOULD BE FRIENDSSSS

i’m thinking about time traveled yn x geta & caracalla from gladiator 2…… like

picture this: you’re a prodigy medical student about to graduate top of your class when boom. day before the big day, you’re thrown like two thousand years into the past into ancient rome. first of all, what the fuck. second of all, why you?

anyway, you’re a weird little foreigner no one in the nearby village trusts. your latin is shaky, your hair’s a strange color (it’s dyed green, gonna be the only appearance factor stated and eventually itll be grown and cut out) and you don’t know what’s going on ever. why would they trust you? until you prove yourself as a talented physician saving one of the local boys from drowning (yay cpr) and you’re hauled off to the city because you know who needs a new personal physician? preferably one who can bring someone back to life via whatever the hell that display was? the emperors.

anyway geta and caracalla are not particularly impressed with you, but you’ll do for now. until they find someone better. you’re not a citizen, but if you treat them well, perhaps they will grant you citizenship. they dangle it over your head like they would a treat for a dog, much to your dismay.

geta starts up with the nickname “alga,” (meaning seaweed in latin) mostly to be mean, which caracalla thinks is funny enough to pick up for himself too. geta started it because your green hair reminds him of seaweed and he’s kind of a mean little prick, and caracalla joins in because he dislikes your actual name. it’s too weird and foreign for him, he likes “alga” better. you’re welcome.

anyway just thinking about having to live life in their stupid little palace with the worlds meanest two little kitties of men are both vying for your attention and schoolyard bullying you to show you they like you. eventually, they get all doting, but for AT LEAST a few months theyre flicking wads of paper at you and calling you stupid to get your attention. all while you’re experiencing hell emotions because you’re stuck in ancient rome with the two worst people you’ve ever met who won’t leave you alone. surely they won’t grow on you like mold.

surely.

Uh. Found this on Tiktok from the Tampa show.

Something I don't think I've ever seen someone talk about with TF2 (though there probably is someone) is a small detail in the Expiration Date video (which came out in June of 2014, for context that's important later). For context, here's the clip in question:

Did you catch something small? When Scout stands up and says he'll do the date without Spy's help, Spy does something he rarely ever does, something absolutely tiny, but that speaks volumes.

He smiles. A genuine, non-snarky smile.

If you were to watch this when it first came out, and notice this detail, I'd not make any sense, really. Why would he be smiling, when Scout is arguing with him, telling him that he's wrong, basically saying he just wasted his supposed final hours on this world teaching him something he's not going to use?

But then, in January of 2017, nearly 2 and half years later, and (okay spoilers but this has been around for like more than 7, nearly 8 years since posting) it is all but directly shouted from the heavens that Spy is Scout's father. And all of a sudden, this small detail, Spy's smile, takes on a whole new meaning.

As Scout's father, Spy is proud of him.

Even though for what has been presumed to be the finals days of their life, even though Spy has taken ever opportunity to belittle him, to tell him he is a failure and this won't work, that he won't get Pauling (which he probably won't regardless since she is, much like the Spy-Scout relationship, pretty much confirmed to be a lesbian), Scout stands up to him. He stands his ground for something he wants to at least try to do.

And Spy smiles because he is proud of his son for learning one of the best lessons he could ever teach him: stand up for yourself when you believe in something and really want it. He never got to teach him so many things with how he never got to be involved in his raising because of his job, but over the course of 3 days they have, he gets to teach him so much, and leaves him with the most important advice without even saying it.

And it helps to explain a good bit more. It explains why the only reason he interrupts isn't to talk back or put him in his place, but remind him that he's got a date to get to, and his smile only fades when Scout just flat out insults him, like he ruined their father-son bonding moment. It explains why he's so attentive, watching him attempt to start the date, and why when he seems him next, instead of telling him something snarky or rude, or telling him to fight better, he reminds him there is someone he needs to make an apology to, and try to give him the space to take care of that admits the chaos.

Spy can't show it, but he is proud of his son.

Anywho, happy 100th post (took me long enough). Hope to be more active on here, and post more things, and maybe even show off some cool things I make. But to everyone who has been a part of this, from the voice overs on YouTube that first intrigued me to check this place out, to the few but wonderful mutuals I'm so lucky to have, to every weird and amazing person that makes this site somewhere we can call home, I thank you!

okay, bye!

six the musical but it’s all the doctors companions he was supposedly in love with specifically the male ones. And if we don’t have enough men. Then. We can just use some of the women. It works. IT WORKS.

The master has to play Katheryn of Aragon, and Jamie has to play Anne Boleyn. This is not up for debate.

Why the hell does expired, unexposed Kodachrome of all things command a premium

“Yes please, I want the film you can’t develop properly. Yes I’m just going to do it as black and white. What? Why would I buy expired Tri-x instead?”

[pepperpixel]

Initial drawings of that old man… I literally, I haven’t finished reading the book of bill yet!!! I had to stop and take a break for a week to feverishly draw fanart of myself petting fords floofy hair and giving him attention and shit…!!!! The urge was too great….!! I’ve literally. I had a crush on this guy the instant he was first REVEALED in the show, but I did not have the artistic prowess to draw good looking old men back then… but I do now… thank god… thank fucking god

It's too bad that Dan Olson privated his video where he discusses Somerton's apology video point by point & only a fraction of the people who watched Harry & Todd's videos saw it. It's not a 2-hour-long nuke, more like chill homey 30 minutes of vivisection

I can't stop thinking about this. What if we get something like this

but it's Eddie riding Buck.

imagine if the shen family was actually a part of the mafia. and shen yuan just never knew.

like his Family is rich and they are all super close. he’s even in contact with some of his distant relatives pretty often, which is kinda cool for him, he’s sure that this isn’t the case for most families so he considers himself lucky to know the extent of his family tree. sure, some of them seem to have lost a marble or two but what family doesn’t have a couple oddballs in their midst, you know?

and its not just sy’s comical obliviousness that contributes to this. his family is well aware that sy is not suited for this life style- especially his siblings. they grew up watching him get himself into all sorts of weird situations and putting himself at a disadvantage simply because he’s too nice. he can try and deny it all he wants (just like how he denies he’s gay- c’mon sy everyone can tell you are not straight) but his sense of justice would only burden him if he were to work for the Family. not to mention his sense of self preservation is absolute shit and they don’t want to have to babysit him his whole life- and he probably doesn’t want that either!

so they send him off to college, help him find an apartment, and basically do everything they can to help him start off on his own, away from the Family. his siblings had to do a whole lot of convincing to let this happen btw- this kind of thing usually isn’t allowed, but sy doesn’t know anything that could be used against the Family, so they make an exception in his case. better for them to not have a deadweight sticking around either is what they say but they all dote on him anyways and refuse to admit they care about him. sy definitely picked up this line of reasoning from them btw.

shen yuan is a little upset and confused that his Family seems eager to send him off (it’s not like they can’t afford for him to live with them after all- both of his older brothers still live in the Family’s massive house and even his aunts and uncles are living there??). he manages to recover quickly though. at least now he can read his web novels in piece without prompting any dick jokes (his cousins had a field day when they found his account with all of his pidw comments…). now he just needs to figure out how to live by himself.

it’s not that sy is incapable of taking care of himself- it’s just that he’s so used to having other people with him that he never understood how much they were doing for him until they were no longer around. but that’s fine, living on your own is just another learning curve and sy is willing to rise up to the challenge. which he did, by the way! he found a job and pays his taxes and even though that isn’t much he still gives himself a mental pat on the back for it. he is still in contact with his siblings, he never misses an update for pidw which he totally doesn’t get excited for and his life is going great.

……until he accidentally eats some expired food and dies.

it is kind of funny in a painful sort of way that because several hundred people recommended genshin impact to me purely due to it blatantly ripping assets from botw back in like 2021 i now have a worm in my brain that forces me to log in once a month and witness the death of video games as a creative storytelling medium
