Guess who just read "the second richest duck" :D
And oh my God these two would have been perfect friends if only they weren't insufferable old man whose life was spent chasing a fucking title instead of actualy enjoying life
#scrooge mcduck#flintheart glomgold#disney comics#disney ducks#duckverse#literaly love when they have to team up#donald's “great. now there's TWO of them” was such a mood#every time scrogee is beng a lil shit i'm reminded of my grandma amazing#scrooge and flint couldn't recognize a kin if they were literaly face to face BUT IF THEY DID IT ABSOLUTELY WOULD BE “Oh he's just like me..#... oh i want to kill him#wich tecnicaly was but there was no selfreflection only instinct#also flint isso fluffy??? i love drawing him he's literaly a coton ball

Growing up in a house where everything is an argument will really make you feel like everything is an argument
#personal#actually bpd#bpd#bpd vent#actually borderline#actually traumatized#I tell my grandma stories and she's juat absolutely baffled#like the one time the bus didn't come down my street and my dad was pissed and said I missed it#so he forced me to call the company and they apparently were not coming down my street for the day because POWERLINES FUCKING FELL#and it would count as an Excused absence. i tell my dad. he calls me a liar and tells me I need to find a way to get to school#sir you fucking call them then#and my dad would say this knowing damn well my school was in a different district. kinda a far drive...but also he was . home#with access to a CAR. doing nothing. literally nothing like why dont you drive me you lazy asshole

This is so unimportant but I keep thinking about that post from a few days ago that was basically like "reblog if hamilton wasn't your first musical" and like 1) i keep thinking of musicals I'd listened to before that even came out (I had two knee jerk reaction ones but i'm up to like seven now) and 2) I STILL HAVEN'T LISTENED TO HAMILTON so that number can just keep going infinitely up
and also 3) I feel like there were at least a few pretty big movie musicals before hamilton. am I just that old?
#raevenly nonsense#like for real tho#phantom the movie 200...4ish?#sweeney todd right on its tails#i absolutely grew up on teh cats musical movie (the filmed stage one not the cgi one#I am at least that old lol)#but like. i saw the phantom one and sweeney todd in fucking theaters#they were kind of a big deal?#maybe i'm just a fucking nerd and don't know it#but that post keeps haunting me#is everyone just babies?#did they all just kinda.... forget the other ones?#MAMMA MIA 2008#i can't#this is to say nothing of the Sound of Music and all those other old ass movies I watched with my grandma#(and to say absolutely nothing of the community theater productions I got to see of Fiddler on the Roof and Jekyll and Hyde)

Sometimes you turn on the TV and get hit with your hyperfixation from 2022 and the only thing you can do is let out a long suffering sigh
#I forgot they were showing it on tv again#I absolutely do not have the spoons to rewatch it but I caught a glimpse while grandma was switching through channels#I both do and don't miss these guys#like on one hand it was quite literally my childhood bc mom watched it around me all the time#but on the other... almost 150 2 hour episodes of non stop drama. who has the strength for that#definitely not me#plus they're currently showing the Leo arc and I'm already emotionally unstable#magnificent century#muhteşem yüzyıl

Living in a post-Marvel world, nothing frustrates me more than the newfound expectation that movies absolutely *must* have mid/end credit scenes, and that all movies will become massive Star-Wars-esque franchises.
I remember a time where you watch a movie, say "Wow! That was a really good movie!", and that was that. Now, the more common sentiment seems to be "Wow! What a good movie! Can't wait to see the sequel, and the TV spin-offs, and the movies that take place at the same time as this one!". Movies aren't allowed to be standalone anymore. Not everything has to be intimately connected.
This goes double for sequels/prequels. Not every good/popular movie needs a dozen movies to flesh out every single minute detail from the original movie. Movies are allowed to have open endings without leading into eighteen more movies to drag the story out for a decade or more.
Also, movies set in the same universe do not have to be directly related to each other in inextricable ways. I will die on the hill that references do not equate to direct links between characters in different movies.
#anna rants#yeah this is mostly about tbosas#took my boomer parents to see it and mum insists lucy grey absolutely must be katniss' grandma#she also sat through the entire end credits and got mad that there were no bonus scenes like in marvel movies#anyways the movie was great 10/10 highly recommended#tbosas#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#the hunger games

ok fr last one but there's actually a bootleg of my school's anastasia and i'm linking it bc you all NEED to understand that my infatuation with this one girl's voice which started when i was in the 6th grade and still hasn't really worn off isn't based on nothing
#brielle's the one in the n95 mask (the video is too grainy to actually make out any of the ensemble's faces but she stands out)#and i'm the in my 'teenage tboy's diy first short haircut' era in every scene she's in#apart from everything abt the girl who plays anya. the tea on everyone else is that our director liked the boy who played gleb's voice so#much that she actually lowered some if not all of his parts to be in his range. the guy who played vlad was a total diva and uhm. the phras#'peaked in high school' has been tossed around at him a lot. and the fact that he came back to sub the year after he graduated isn't helpin#his case. also he pressured the girl who played anya's grandmother into wearing old age makeup + spray her hair grey bc he decided he was#going to wear it and since she's supposed to be older than him she had to too and used to waltz into the girls' changing room whenever he#wanted. everyone was like super shocked during auditions though bc we all thought he was a shoe-in for dimitry esp since seniors get#priority casting bc it's their last chance. but at callbacks (we had singing auditions via video and dance auditions in person and callback#were tacked on to the dance auditions) he kinda flubbed his song and then this freshman. who was with us via google meet bc he literally ha#covid at the time absolutely blew him out of the water and i remember walking away w brielle like 'holy shit [first name] [last name] just#lost a part to a freshman' (he's the kind of person you just have to full name otherwise it sounds wrong). that said i do think he made a#much better vlad then he would've made a dimitry and while he is. a lot. he's always been nice to me and i did briefly idolize him and his#stage presence way i did anya's singing voice but that faded when i got into hs and started actually observing his prima donna ways#(the one production we were in together before in middle school we didn't have any scenes together). the girl who played the grandma#actually shouted me out in cast circle and that's the only time that's ever happened to me. also i'm p sure her dad is/was dating someone m#dad and by extension myself work with so that's. Oh My God. like she (the one who works for my dad) brought him w her to a comedy show as i#think her bf but i'm not 100% sure and when he found out what school i went to he mentioned his daughter went there and despite the fact#that i basically have a script for when people ask me that question bc i do NOT pay attention to most of my fellow students and don't know#anyone i was like 'holy shit' bc i actually did. hm what else. the guy who played the tsar and i used to shittalk bad period dramas#backstage during the first part of act 2. also during the press conference scene i need you to picture all the bolshevik soldiers and#romanov royals doing the macarena behind the curtain bc that was absolutely what we were doing back there. speaking of the press conference#the really high singing w/o a clear source was actually anya standing behind the curtain on the other side of the stage bc she's the only#one who physically could sing the part. also in regards to the bolshevik soldiers. we were originally supposed to have wooden rifles but fo#some reason our director took them out so we had to just walk menacingly towards the romanovs. you can't rlly see me that well in that scen#but that jacket would NOT stay closed and for 2/3 performances i had to awkwardly hold it closed the entire time. luckily the one that was#filmed was the one where i was smart enough to bring safety pins and also saved like all of the ballerinas bc their costumes all started#falling apart at once backstage.#romeo.txt#theatreposting

another childhood bucket list item obtained: i finally have a snuggie
#and it's the real thing not even a knockoff#kinda surprised they still exist#but also not surprised bc Blanket. blanket is universal#i just remember a lot of those As Seen On Tv ads like. imploding within 5 years#they still do As Seen On Tv products like there are still boxes marked with that logo it almost feels wrong like an ancient relic#bc most like. ubiquitous 2000s brands from my childhood are just Gone or at least so fundamentally changed it's not the same thing#heard about like 50 more companies going bankrupt probably in the last year alone#anyway ive always wanted a snuggie it's one of those Always Wanted things that never go away#others include: staples easy button (obtained!); mini fridge (not); pillow pet (i had a knockoff once); power drill (not)#i spent a surprising amount of my childhood actually going out of my way to buy stuff i could use in my own apartment in the future#i grew up lower middle class and then just lower class#so like. i always Knew i couldn't just furnish the whole apartment at once i Knew I'd have to build stuff up over time#also bc when my sister got kicked out she had like. nothing. in her trailer. and i did not want to have nothing#i knew if dad was willing to just toss out my sister like that i would absolutely follow suit#and i did! two years younger than my sister when she was!#it just happened that my mom didn't want me homeless at FOURTEEN when i legally could not work for two more years#so she went with me and we lived with my grandma#so take that dad. turns out throwing family members out willy nilly makes the rest of your family not trust you or like you!#and now i get to rub it in his face that HE can't function in a house by himself and still needs to beg my mom to clean up after him#bc i spent so much of my childhood getting berated and called lazy for not doing chores#getting told stuff like 'you have to function by yourself your parents can't always pick up after you'#and then he's literally useless without his wife#he's not disabled and he's not neurodivergent he's never even had a serious health scare he just doesn't bother to learn how to clean#his excuse is that he doesn't know how to use the washer and dryer (it has been almost ten years fucker. learn)#or he doesn't know which cleaning products to use (you have google and a library card. LOOK IT UP)#he's the only person i get mad at for this behaviour bc he's a fucking hypocrite and a child abuser about it too#he is the exception to my rule of everyone needs to be given the space to get things done where they're able and deserve help when needed#and I'll bend over backwards to make excuses for other people so i DONT exclude them from my rule i will try to find every good reason first#he has no fucking excuse though he made two teenagers nearly homeless bc he thought we were too lazy and then he's even worse

I’m gonna challenge my subconscious to a fist fight and I’m gonna lose
#i had a dream that mabel kept coming back to life just to sniff stuff or investigate food that she liked#she was still dead but i’d buried her instead of cremating her and for whatever reason i was either digging her up#or she was digging herself up and sniffing and eating stuff#and i was like ‘she’s CLEARLY still alive if she can do this’ and everyone was like ‘no she’s dead you have to bury her again’#whenever she fell asleep she would be dead again. like she’d stop breathing and her heart would stop#i don’t know if she was like. a vampire dog? but it was so upsetting to dream#this is the second sad dream i’ve had about mabel in the course of like 3 days.. no less because the last one made me wake up in tears#on friday morning. and like it’s brought me to my knees honestly. i can’t DO this#also in my dream i went to a careers advisor or life coach or something and they were really mean to me lol#and my family made me go with them to visit some people i didn’t know who insisted on serving us cups of tea#it was really strong hot tea and i don’t really drink tea like that#and my grandma’s friend who was the loveliest woman and died a few years ago was there#and she was just absolutely pouring milk in her tea even though it was overflowing and going everywhere#and mabel was there accosting their terriers even though she was supposed to be dead. it was too much#in another part of the dream my old roommafe (who i really didn’t like) was pressuring me to go drinking with her even though mabel had just#(dubiously) died. and i was like ‘you do realise i’m going to get absolutely paralytic and scream and cry about my dog the whole time’#there was also this subplot where like everyone i knew but me had been in a play and the stage makeup had been made from ‘magic beans’#that stained everyone blue. so everyone i met had randomly blue eyebrows and stuff#there was one man who was just fully blue#also i was supposed to be in the world championships for a game that was like tetris but more esoteric but the servers broke down#or something like that. i think that’s everything#i’m just like.. why make me bawl at 6:30 on a sunday morning. what’s the advantage of that#i’m supposed to be taking care of benji and he’s looking at me like ‘god this woman is a basket case’#his owner has colitis and chronic fatigue and she has her shit more together than me#personal

My gender complex goes back 3 generations and through two queer women and their family trauma, I feel like I know what I'm talking about. We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
#i got my gender from my she/her misogynistic transmas gay dad who's also the mother of my mom.#my sperm donor doesn't matter here.#he's kinda fruity though and swears he's just a straight southern boy in alaska.#my dad/grandma and my sperm donor/dad were/are both autistic though.#im pretty my great-grandfather (whom i was named after (whom was named after his father)) was autistic to.#and even though he was an abusive piece of shit the autism had him connect with one of his four lesser-sons.#so she got a bit of a complex from really admiring him. i got a bit of a complex from really admiring her. i was named after him.shit's wild#oh yeah and a psychic told my grandma in a past life she was her fathers husband and she thought it was crazy but he said that makes sense#(in that past life he was his daughters wife to clarify)#he didnt even believe in that shit she was blown away when he said that like ''dad you're joking right?'' (he wasnt)#it was to explain why he always broke down in tears hearing the bag pipes.#this hardcore military man would just start crying when he heard bagpipes playing. absolutely break down.#and the psychic said it's because they played bagpipes when my grandma/his/her husband came back from war after leaving her to fight.#she had the gaul to give my mom his last name. her maiden name. and well my mother never married so i got it too.#the family hated us for that.#and he treated her(my grandma's) daughter way better than any of his own kids. so the family hated us for that too.#my mom's also an ace/bilesbian lol.#out of all the confusion im trans so like. i feel like i have a better handle because of that.#i take a bit of pride and freedom in the confusion.#hexacles.txt

the villainess flips the script is a really fun manhwa with gorgeous art and my wonderful son luca who is a little bitch who i love so much BUT i will say. the family tree situation as the story has gone on makes my head hurt
#luca buddy im sorry ur family tree has at least one circle in it#somehow the most. ethical? incest? his parents were unknowing um. second cousins? hold on i need to work this out#are they second cousins or are they first cousins once removed. i need to consult charts#I THINK they were second cousins. lets go with that. okay so they were second cousins who didnt know they were second cousins#accidentally having a drunken one night stand and thats how luca came to be. no personal relation and apparently risk of like#genetic issues goes down with second cousins. so i guess its like. the most um. 'ethical'? it could possible be. but still :(#but also luca love interest is his second cousin too maybe? the kid of his blond great uncle???? i dont know man#all so the main character can turn out to be secretly royalty orz TOO COMPLICATED too complicated#although i guess this is how a lot of historical royal and noble families were tho. a bit circular.#that is something i would change tho if i wrote this. first of all i would make judith his bio mom instead of pretending#because i think a fl who had a drunken one night stand the dead playboy brother of her LI is just really interesting LOL#but also i would just like. remove her relation to the royal family entirely#but thats me personally. i find the main character finding out about secret royal blood trope suuuuper boring LOL#but it is common in stories like this so i deal. but in this case i would absolute strike out that plotline. maybe give it to#luca instead like make him look oddly like his great grandma and make the former king obsess over him instead#we'd still get a lot of the same plot beats because of judiths relation to him but just without the loopy family tree JKSDJHDKs#ALSO also i would make lucas relationship with rudiger stronger. NOT SAPPIER like the original in universe novel i like the difference#but i would make them closer in like a shitty uncle who sucks that you hang out with anyway and the shitty nephew u lovingly bully#sort of way. if that makes sense. one problem i have with a lot of villianess stories that have a kid in it is when the love interest like#doesn't have much of a relationship with the kid. i think its lame. i want them to be CLOSE not just like mild coworkers#but thats just me. thats just me#despite all i just said i still really like it. rudiger is cute luca is my baby boy who i love so much and judith is so silly and i love he#great characters even if i would personally alter their relationships

I love watching bpd gals on tik tok but it feels so unrelatable. Like you have enough money and resources to just constantly be in and out of mental hospitals then travel to 100 different countries and come home to your mansion 😭 why does EVERYTHING on tik tok feel unrelatable. Like how are you eating like this everyday? I only work 2 days a week but when I do work I am not attempting to make full planned healthy meals. If it fits in my mouth it goes in it
#personal#I need a high functioning bpd gal to watch or something#where are the gals who have never been to a mental hospital but are constantly going insane and wishing they were#but holding it all together with a paperclip because being percieved in a negative light makes their skin crawl#like if I could cut myself I'd have probably done it a few times but I live in fl with my grandma#I'd rather fucking DIE then have to explain myself about it. like actually . I don't have time to be a fuck up#but I wanna be a fuck up 😭 I wanna do drugs and slit my wrists and down a whole bottle of pills#I flirt with the idea of going absolutely bat shit insane. then I realize I will be percieved about it and die again on the inside#I don't see enough bpd rep where there's people genuinely barely holding it together behind the scenes while everyone thinks they're doing#great#I CONSTANTLY fool everyone#I told my friend the cuts on my arm were cat scratches and she was like yeah I figured you're not the kinda person who does that#yeah Youre so right 🩷

Does anyone else with big boobs just sometimes,,,,, forget that they have big boobs? Since I usually wear loose-fitting clothing and sweatshirts, so when I put on a supportive bra and a tighter shirt this morning I was a bit flabbergasted
Here’s a quick artist’s interpretation of what I looked like in my PJs vs what I looked like after getting dressed this morning:
#m rambles#it is absolutely insane how different the same body can look if you just wear a different fit#or a good bra#I was wearing granny bras until a few months ago#(literally. the exact same bras my grandma wears)#which had literally no support#and I haven’t worn my fitted turtleneck by itself since I started wearing the good bras#like I know I’ve got tig ol biddies#I wear a like 40DDD for God’s sake#but for some reason I just did not realize they were THAT big#absolutely wild

How have I been in fandom for - going on 8 years (?) and not gotten into fanvids before?? All the association I could have been making.... All the memories.... All the composition and clever editing....
#going a little bit insane frankly#it's been about a month of absolute and utter mcu frenzy in my brain and i'm. vibrating#truly feels like some kind of intense fever at times#i've rewatched talitha78's set fire to the rain vid so many times it entrances me#it's to the point where every time i see that shot of loki grabbing mjolnir i hear 'you rose to claim it'#btw hello 13 years late to the party but like. 20 seconds in and i felt like that vid unlocked something in my artist brain#no because the lyrics are 'i let it fall / my heart / and as it fell / you rose to claim it' right#and so she puts clips of thor being banished and losing mjolnir and then loki trying to grab it#which. the interaction between the song and the video making mjolnir thor's heart.... not even 20 seconds!!#it's so clean to me#it's like when i actually took a good look at bill cipher's design and realised he had such expressive potential#and i had to do like a page of doodles about it#in 20 seconds that fanvid from 2011 made me want to make animatics so so bad#which btw i watched it partly because a fic i liked cited it as an inspiration#and partly because i looked at the dates#and realised that the creator put it out like not even two weeks after the movie came out??#absolutely insane. i love this so much#this is like having a family heirloom in your hands#grandma lending me the necklace she wore to her first date with grandpa for my anniversary dinner or something#i have just entered a new fandom and the fans who were here before are showing me what it was like when they'd just arrived too#the sacred texts and such also#anyway. man i love fandom.#wow i have a ramble tag now

NOOOOO ITS THE END OF AN ERA :(( these girls were my absolute fave wacky indie jpop group and I’ve been listening to them since I dropped out of high school at 17 and this is their final video and song :(( thank u for all the good memories girls 🫡
#their recent stuff was absolutely not my cup of tea#but they were clearly evolving style and concept and music wise#and the videos were still cool#feels like the last part of my life Before (before grandma’s passing)#is over now :((
