Mmm, I be listening to sea shanties lately. And it's making me think about salarian sailors before the salarians became a space fairing people...titillating thought. Gotta make note of that. That might be something I want to play with someday.

eric choosing to dress as king henry VIII on the children's charity day is of course extremely funny ("it's for the kids," holding a decapitated head) but also the obvious implications of this are killing me.

DVD's quote from season 2: "He gets validated by the idea of creating people in his image. Until they become him, but younger. And he can't fucking live with it." and this episode's "I used to see what my daughters could become and achieve in every successful young woman I came across. / Now you wanna come across every successful young woman?" All of his relationships he's killed for these simple crimes. Daria, DVD, Kenny, Harper, and now Rob and Yasmin underway... something sooo sinister going on here. His siblingchildwives. But it makes sense, if this is all you're taught. Eric has been at Pierpoint his whole life. Which is rare, seeing how many of our core intern cast we've lost along the seasons. Killing opposition must be the only way he learned to survive. It makes me wonder how his relationship with his mentor, Newman, was. It makes me wonder how it ended, as well.

Also with Yasmin dressing herself as Diana -- all these costumes are related to these characters' perceptions of themselves or who they'd rather be. It's so interesting to push that Eric is aware of this pattern? He's a character with historically a strange amount of emotional awareness in this job and in comparison with Harper, though he has a shield up against this, which is beginning to falter post-divorce, and the evilness he's learned from Pierpoint is becoming all there is to him

the thing about garrus and thane is that they're both hypercompetent and pathetic, my two favourite traits in a man

Having had a theology subject every term but this one is genuinely so funny, especially now that all the art homework has been drastically upped in quantity. Like yeah, you do have to draw 2000 drawings by mid June. Why are you praying? God has forsaken you.

Time may not heal all wounds but fanfic writers with the same aversion to certain aspects of canon do

There's a lot of Voy Crew & DS9 Crew crossovers for good reason but what about Voy Crew meets the TNG Crew so they can confuse and alarm them at every turn? Most Normal Crew Ever vs Most Fucked Up Weirdos Ever - let's go!

questions

1) Is there any consensus on when TDJ takes place? I have only watched it twice but I don't recall any mention of a year. Is there a fanon date?

2) Is the TDJ Discord still a thing?

2.5) Is that where I should be asking these kinds of questions?

😅

Phineas and Ferb embodies the antithesis of hustle and crunch culture because the fundamental lesson of every single episode is that your passions are no less fulfilling if they only last for one afternoon. You are no less passionate, just because you are passionate about a variety of things or even an entirely different thing every day. And your achievements aren’t worth less just because the fruits of your labour disappear. Even if there is no proof that you did anything, absolutely nothing to show for what you accomplished, no physical gain for all your hardwork, that doesn’t mean that you gained nothing.

The show’s very soul is that the joy of doing something is, in and of itself, enough of a gain. If you enjoyed doing something, if you found it fun or interesting for just an afternoon and then never wanted to do it ever again, that’s enough. That you found happiness, even if fleeting and momentary, is gain enough. You don’t need to have “something to show for it” at the end of your passions, you don’t need to have physical evidence of your work, the memory and the experience are the important parts and are the only parts you need to focus on.

And furthermore, relaxing or spending a whole day staring at something or playing video games or reading or even doing an activity that you didn’t enjoy but that you tried to see if you would: all of these things are shown as just as valid and important. If you spend an entire day staring at the sky, the show promises that you have accomplished the same goal as if you built a rollercoaster. If you get something from it — and that’s if you get ansolutely anything from it, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, Anything — then the activity was worth doing.

Phineas and Ferb says embrace your want for knowledge, learn things that are absolutely meaningless in the so-called “real world” and share these worthless things with your friends and have fun. Find your self worth in how much you enjoy living, enjoy every moment that you can, and don’t feel bad if you tried something new and didn’t enjoy it! You don’t have to make a career out of your passion. Your passion is enough, no matter how long it lasts, and your joy is worth it.

now that the time-sensitive picture is done, i can get back to what i was doing: running a fallout 2d20 campaign for friends slash sick bastards who have been very patiently waiting. we're doing it in the commonwealth since it's what a lot of the rulebook focuses on, this is my first campaign, and i accidentally wrote an au through two noir fics which they're all very familiar with

very broad overview: the gang successfully cleared vault 108, accidentally passed a local hardened gangster's initiation ritual, and are taking their ill-gotten gains to diamond city. we do it every other week, which gives me plenty of time to get my notes in order

the diorama is complete, too! i change it up after every significant combat encounter

nobody has found one yet, but i hide a to-scale pinup magazine in every one of these. there's no prize, beyond the miniscule pictures of breasts, but that's it's own joy

every time i see another post saying smth along the lines of “haha man what was jigsaw doing giving adam and lawrence so long for their trap” i jsut wanna grab op by the shoulders and shake them and tell them that theyre missing the point and also that saw ii is such a departure from the vibe of the first one (and sets the tone for the other sequels) because it was not originally written as a saw film and was later tweaked with help from leigh
