[hampterguts]

forever amazed and confused at how often transformers franchise just straight up depicts suicide attempts. like not even considering the superhero trope of "i have to save everyone!!! by choosing to die!!!!!" thing. like. non-allow-yourself-to-die-to-stop-a-thing-from-killing-everyone-immediately type situations. which tbh i wish more ppl talked about but not the point here

like. sure mtmte, a comic abt mentall illness and war, i expected it to be aware of the concept. but its not handled well and mostly used for shock value or "im better now i swear! i have a husband and everything" BUT ITS IN THE KIDS SHOWS TOO??? MY BESTIE G1 RODIMUS?? BEAST WARS DINOBOT???

my friend and I have developed a sort of "tradition" or something where we doodle a little G-Man on each other's mirrors whenever we visit each other lol

the first three are mine, the rest is hers (featuring Gordon Freeman in his hev suit that she drew from memory haha)

Too bad one thing to help you in Big Scary Exam is a good night's rest, yet a good night's rest is all no no because Big Scary Exam tomorrow.

forgive me for being a dummy but i genuinely am clueless here: did VKF ever train to be a gymnastics coach? are there many other ncaa head coaches who weren’t ‘’’in’’’ gymnastics previously?

[thenineofus]

I really like nerd people but specifically nerds who are nerds for something completely left field that no one else cares too much for. A nerd for the architectural uses of a specific type of metal. A nerd for one specific classic literature brazilian book. A nerd for the specific laws of the judicial system of Turkey.

You let a person like this talk about their obsession you open a giant door in your brain that you didn't even imagine existed.

riverdale is like i started watching it when it came out i could tell you specific plots like “black hood betty dad” but once you watch an episode you forget everything about it. thats what is so amazing you get to enjoy it in the moment but it takes up 0 brain space which is reserved for (gay thoughts) and (math equations)

너무 무서워

매일매일 더 무섭게 되어

난 속으로에 한 걸음도 걸어가길 두렵게 되는 어둠

심장이 고동치길 들을 수 있는 병동의 침묵

'오늘 컨디션이 어떠세요?'

'복용량을 늘려야 할 것 같네요'

그말 들을때마다 차츰 세상이 잊혀져

겁이 목을 졸려, 내 정신이 미쳐

근데 그래도 더 많은 겁과 아픔 참시는 나의 엄마

날 언제보다 더 많이 필요하시는 줄 알아서 걱정마

엄마의 곁에 지금 있을 테니까

엄마, don't cry, please

엄마, don't hide your fears

엄마, 엄마, 엄마,

Don't cry for you and me

엄마, 나의 곁에 계셨는데 always

지금 엄마,

난 네 곁에 있을께 언제나

어렸을때 가끔 잠들기까지 엄마의 눈썹을 스다듬은 기억들

머리카락도 빠지기 시작돼도 엄마의 얼굴 여전히 예쁠 보기는

언제든지 겁 나면 엄마의 품속 속에서 위로 받은 때 있었죠

지금 두려움이 맘을 비틀 때 언제든지

나의 손을 단단히 잡아줘요

다시 함께 바닷가에 가고 싶어요 엄마

옛날처럼 생각 없이 웃고 싶어요 정말

부모님의 역할을 담당하셔서 ��원한 감사를

대체 어떻게 표할지 전혀 몰라서 이 세상에

이 순간따라 시간이 부족할까봐 무서워

수많은 할 말이 있는 이 순간 막

근데 그래도 부당한 어려움을 맞서셨던 엄마

지금 나 의지하실 수 있어 이건 내 약속

어릴때 항상 엄마 의지하곤 한 것 처럼

힘을 합친다면 도욱 강해지겠어 우리가

걱정하시지 않게 나 죽도록 무서울지라도 한마디도 안하려고

엄마, 엄마, don't cry

엄마, 엄마, don't die

아이처럼 아직도 너의 손을 놓을 수가 없잖아

────────────────────

I'm so scared.

It gets scarier with every passing day.

This gloom, I'm afraid to walk another step in;

Silence of the ward, where I can hear my heart pounding.

"How are you feeling today?"

"I think I need to increase my dosage."

Every time I hear that, I forget about the world,

Fear chokes me, I'm going crazy.

But my mother, who bears with more fear and pain,

I know you need me now more than ever, so don't you worry,

I'll be by your side right now.

Mum, don't cry, please.

Mum, don't hide your fears.

Mum, mum, mum,

Don't cry for you and me.

Mum, you were by my side, always;

Right now, mum,

I'll be by your side all the time.

When I was little, I sometimes caressed my mother's eyebrows until I fell asleep;

Even if your hair starts to fall out, my mother's face will still be beautiful.

When I was scared, I was comforted in my mother's arms;

Now, whenever fear twists your mind,

Hold my hand tight.

I want to go to the seaside together again, mum;

I want to laugh without care like we used to, really.

Eternal gratitude for playing the role of both parents,

I don't know how to express it in this world.

I'm afraid I'll run out of time at this moment,

This moment when I have so many things to say;

But my mother, who faced unfair difficulties,

You can rely on me now, this is my promise,

Like I used to rely on my mother when I was a child.

If we stick together, we'll be stronger.

Even if I'm scared to death, I'm not gonna say a word,

So you don't have to worry.

Mum, mum, don't cry.

Mum, mum, don't die.

I still can't let go of your hand like a child.

Last lesson with my voice professor went great 🥲❤️ I only cried a little. She gave me some names of choruses and opera choirs to audition for in the city I’m moving to next semester, and she said she’ll come to any performances I do (bc she lives in that area and just commutes up here), and I did an… acted-out (?) runthrough of my recital piece and I think it went super well. Knock on wood but I’m excited :3

youtube's copyright system is insane when you consider how the top youtuber's jobs are currently “Stare at uncredited content from tiny creators and then bleat out one of 6 stock phrases” in a minimum 10 minute long video. Very rules for thee (tiny creators getting their few viral videos stolen) but not for me (huge media conglomerate striking down someone for using two seconds of footage in their video)

Look I know Rapunzel paints and Tiana cooks, but if you guys don't think Mulan is the Most Creative Disney Princess, you're wrong.

She's literally introduced in this perfect scene that highlights her whole character, flaws and strengths:

The first time you see her she's:

Cheating, which is totally the opposite of what honor-code General Shang would do.

Undisciplined, which is what going to the army fixes.

Problem-solving—by writing the recitation she can't remember on her wrist—

BUT LISTEN. That last one is the first hint you have that she's the Most Creative Disney Princess. Because guess what? She's not the first young woman to cheat at the matchmaker test. The Matchmaker specifically checks to see if she's cheating when the test begins. But the rest of them wrote their cheat sheet on their fans.

The Matchmaker was prepared for the usual kind of tricks. But Mulan's full of her own ideas, not everyone else's.

You guys know the rest. She dresses up like a soldier—nobody suspects her because the idea that someone would do that never occurs to everyone else. She climbs the pole by tying the medallions around each other when none of the other recruits can figure it out. She lights the cannon by grabbing Mushu instead of searching for flints. She creates an avalanche instead of just taking Shan Yu out. She tricks the Huns by dressing her friends up as concubines. She defeats Shan Yu with his own sword and a bunch of fireworks.

But even beyond problem-solving, Mulan never does things like other people do. She doesn't even do things like other women do.

She doesn't just walk across a bridge, she jumps from pillar to pillar. She doesn't just bring her father tea, she puts a spare teacup in her sleeve because she knows she's clumsy.

Mulan is creative. But you know what that moment proves? That she's not just a representation of all women-versus-men. Mulan is representative of a human, who sees where she has strengths, and sees where she has weaknesses. She uses her strengths to her advantage and works to improve or make up for her weaknesses. She doesn't try to be exactly like a man. She just tries to use what she's got to do the right thing. And finding ways to use what you've got, even if it's not like what everyone else has, is creativity.

s6ep9, crisis ep3, I was so :DDDD with john and lucy scene (too short btw!) and then so DDD: at the end with lex did john save himself somehow cause he said he was going to get a drink and we didn't see him actually disintegrate...
