can't stop thinking about about how dan used to be convinced no one could love him for an extended period of time and that everyone gets sick of him eventually, to being so so dearly loved for 15 years straight... he's been someone's absolute favorite person for 15 years. hundreds of thousands of people have stuck with him from the moment they first saw him online because he's so easy to love and set up a permanent residence in your heart ;___;

like yeah dan's been someone's person for 15 years but he's also been proven wrong time and time again that he's in any way hard to love or easy to let go of

Sol, to Ramlethal:

This is genuinely so fucking funny, for so many reasons

1) Sol is the epitome of "punch shit until it dies." He is so overwhelmingly powerful that he realistically doesn't need to actually use fighting techniques because he can just punch you and you're guaranteed to at least wish you were dead

2) Ramlethal might be one of the few people who, realistically, WILL NOT come up against a "bigger, badder wall" considering that she fought:

Sol, who, again, is one of the strongest characters in the entire canon and who does shit like holding onto ICBMs that travel at 15,000km/h to get places

Ky, who is one of the few people who can defeat Sol in a fight and who actually scares him

Sin, who Ky has stated he would "stand no chance against" if he had proper training

AT THE SAME FUCKING TIME

And she DIDNT LOSE, and was GOING to self destruct and kill Sol after straight up grabbing him and carrying him into the sky. The only reason she didn't is because Elphelt showed up and basically hit Ramlethals off button, something which only she can do

I honestly think that Sol is just being a petty bitch (my favourite Sol tbh)

How blessed are we to have a God who takes our burdens?

WHYS IT SO FUCKING YELLOW

I’ve seen a lot of characters who fit into the ‘grumpy/closed off’ role associated with hating sweets by fandom

And i don’t get it cuz we have one canon character who hates sweets (Kakashi) but he’s also one of the biggest dorks

Nothing states Sasuke hates sweets

Or that Gaara hates sweets

In fact, i think we should headcanon them as loving sweets because they deserve some lil treats. Gaara going out for the first time with his siblings and getting a sweet little treat in Suna that he has never had before, and finding he loves it because it tastes good but also this is one of his first genuinely good memories

This is unfortunately an “I told you so” moment. But don’t @ me, Virginia was blue 😘

Listen, i don’t think Clark is Kons dad nor do I want him to be but I’m still delighted every time he acts paternally towards him

That feeling when the idea of replaying a game is more appealing than actually playing said game.

Now that 2024 is almost over, what were your favorite rock/punk/alt albums or songs ??? Looking for recommendations bc i know your taste in music is fire 🔥

this past year i havent dedicated the time i wanted to to listening to and discovering music unfortunately so i dont really have a long list of recommendations, but i really enjoyed terms and conditions by bad omens and bob vylan. late discovery for me. bob vylan also released humble as the sun this year which i have listened to some of and enjoyed but didnt set aside the time to in full (kind of shows something was off this year bc i was counting down the minutes til price of life). the only new album i listened to this year was the rise and fall of a midwest princess which isnt even from this year! ive just been off my game 😵‍💫

The world has suddenly felt very scary and unsafe lately, and I’ve felt very vulnerable within it. Don’t know how to get my feet back on the ground- global rise of facism (sic) notwithstanding.

I learned what a bullet journal was by watching a few YouTube artists set theirs up and my algorithm spiraled out of control from there so I guess I have all the bujo influencers to thank for getting into it because it has been a godsend so far on my third attempt, but damn if the over emphasis on aesthetic over the actual practical organizational aspect of it doesn't rankle me a bit

[thirty rambling tags later] huh. I didn't know there was a thirty tag limit in all the years I've been on tumblr. Whatevs I can't copy paste the tags onto the main body because I'm on mobile and I don't want to write it out again so I'll just summarize the last bit here:

If you are browsing the bujo tag because you feel bullet journaling will help you but you feel intimated because you don't think you can make it look pretty, or that the bullet journal method could never help you because it looks exhausting or the inspo you see doesn't cover what you need, I am pleading with you to ignore all the pretty inspiration, take the most common and even original Ryder Carroll formats and spreads with a grain of salt and eliminate or change them as needed, and talk to people who have similar needs than you even if they don't bujo and suss out what's important to keep track of. My bujo is eighty percent important medical bullshit, because that's what I need more than a book tracker. You prolly have your own unique needs. And hell, if you want a book tracker then add a booktracker. It's your bujo to format and plan out.

So like if you want to start bullet journaling, go to Michaels and get a seven dollar Artist's Loft dot grid journal. Or a binder you have left over from school years past and print out your own dot grid paper if you have enough ink and paper and printer that can do double sided (Kevin McLeod's site I forget the name of has free adjustable dot and other grids I've used), or buy a pack of 8.5x11 dot grid paper, and grab a crappy hole punch that just barely does the job. Get yourself a nice pen you think looks and feels nice in your hand and on the paper–or if that doesn't matter to you go get pack of Bics or even pencil if that's what you prefer (I use a pencil for things I can't have be permanent, like temporary meds or the dates of yearly vaccines). If you're twitchy about messing up then get the cheapest wite out they have (but don't worry about messing up especially if you're not even showing it off to anybody). A cheap yellow highlighter if you think it'll help. And a ruler if straight lines are important to you. I lost mine so I just wobble my lines now I don't care (and it's marginally easier to get a line adjacent to straight with a dot grid)

Anyway. If you want to bullet journal but don't know where to start or how to make it pretty or how to make it work for your needs, just try it in the cheapest way possible and rearrange the guts of the bujo as you see fit. And don't worry about the optics as long as you can make sense of your methods and writing.

(and for the love of God if you're bipolar don't make an hourly mood tracker yes our moods can and will fluctuate throughout the day but goddamn was that a bitch to log and abandoned a few weeks after inking it out)

I watched a training on career development; the premise was that project managers should treat their career like a project. And one really stupid comment stuck with me: "salary should not be in your goals. That's like choosing your software before knowing the project requirements."

It was ironic, because one of his goals was "work-life balance at a remote workplace." 🙄

It was a lot of fluff about making lists of what you like to do at work and what you don't, and that somehow translates to finding your dream job. He discouraged using luck-based strategies, in favor of...a luck based strategy of mentoring people who will hopefully inspire you. 🙃

And I'm just like. "Ok, project manager. You haven't accounted for your assumptions."

But also. Knowing your budget is important to being a project manager. There's a minimum budget needed to succeed. If you're not planning that out early, you didn't really plan your project.

And I'm sitting there thinking that next, for me, isn't a reassessment of the tasks I perform. I like the tasks well enough. Next is getting a $50k-70k wage increase, to be in line with the industry average for people with my skills, performing my tasks, at my level of experience in this region. It's a 32 hour work week. And more paid time off.

I don't care if I get a fancy new title. I don't care if it's a more prestigious company. I don't care if there are more interesting challenges. I've grown my skills. It's past time to grow my lifestyle. And that's not going to happen from a like and dislike list, and mentoring people.

I feel like I want to go home but I don’t have one of those. I want to be near my best friend. I’m frightened by rampant and violent transphobia in our culture. I’m somewhere safe and secure but I feel vulnerable. I want to hide. I want to be left alone. I want to be near others. Everyone is so distracted and overwhelmed by life. I feel invisible. I want to be held.
