#streaming is so useless

[mari-beau]

Dear 10 Different Streaming Channels I have access to,

You're really going to make me get off the couch and get a DVD out?

Sincerely,

A Dissatisfied Customer

I will never understand why some folks are just SO adamant that certain kinds of pets are evil, vicious things that are SOOO dangerous to have in your home and "What if it gets out and KILLS you?"

And for the record, I'm not talking about venomous snakes or anything (which also are not Evil Creatures Out to Get You, by the way). I'm talking about the idiots who respond to me having tarantulas like they're going to break out of their enclosures in the night, seek me out, and then bite me over and over so that they can kill and eat me.

Buddy I can't even move shit on the shelf above her without Dancer bolting to her web to hide. If given the choice every single one of my spiders would RUN rather than bite. Even mister Spicy Menace runs before he threat poses, and he has about as much rage as one can pack into a teeny tiny little one inch fella.

I see this about so many animals, especially the pets that are considered "weird" or "for freaks" (that was a fun one). If owning my spiders makes me a freak.... Really? THAT'S what makes me a freak? Alright. Sure.

People who are stupid and uneducated about animals have no business commenting on animal care or safety, but somehow they're ALWAYS the loudest.

haikaveh... save me haikaveh...

i KNOW it's been talked about to death but. the haikaveh research project. it literally haunts my mind. i cannot get over the implications. alhaitham going through his school life as someone that most people dont even really know about because he keeps to himself and doesn't socialize, with kaveh being the one exception to that, finding his way into his life as his Best Friend, and then leading to alhaithams one and only time he participated in a research topic. his bio says he only ever did ONE joint project!!! one!!! the one with kaveh his best friend and i think also his only friend at the time!!!! and then it ended in not only the project falling apart but also alhaithams only friendship. kavehs best friendship. they were each others closest person. they had no family around - alhaithams parents having died when he was young and his grandmother dying before he joined the akademiya, and kaveh's dad dying when he was young and his mom having moved to fontaine. like even if you dont look at it through a romantic lens it's still undeniable how important they were [and are] to each other..........

i'm getting off track but my point is very specifically for alhaitham, the one time he got close to someone, made a friend, even agreed to join one(1) group project ever, it ended in disaster. it led him into a fight so bad that his one and only friend said he regretted that friendship!!!! it was so bad alhaitham left the project and he and kaveh didnt speak for ages until they just happened to run into each other again at the tavern!!!!! like obviously it has to be incredibly awful for both of them but i just think how this probably had alhaitham in the cynical mindset that friendships and collaborations like that might just never work out for him because the one time he let someone into his life, it blew up on him and he was all alone again. even though alhaitham never seems to care much if people dont like him, that clearly cant still apply to someone he was exceptionally close to. like if he didnt care he woudlnt have been the one to take his name off the project and mutually not speak to kaveh...... kavehs words are the ones that hit the most significantly to alhaitham.......... kaveh is said/implied to have had at least some other friends while at school / people knew who he was, but not so much alhaitham. people didnt know him and the ones that did just knew he didnt socialize/he was not easy to get along with. he only had kaveh and then, for a while, he lost him too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so many of the people and places i love are in danger of suffering right now and i can't do anything for any of them. i want to scream.

asheville, a place which feels like another home, is an island. i haven't heard from my family or friends there - hopefully they're safe and just can't get signal. the pictures coming out of WNC are devastating. i know these places. i love these places. my heart is broken.

my grandparents live on a marsh in savannah and have been without power since friday. georgia power estimates it'll be back on tuesday. the storm surge didn't the house this time, but my grandma fell in the dark and broke her shoulder friday night. one ambulance ride late she's ok and in good spirits all things considered - they are both made of the toughest shit. i hate that they're down there and i'm not.

and both my mom & sister's family are under shelter in place orders because of a fire at a chemical plant in rockdale county. mom said she can smell it.

out of all the cut nightmare time stories nick and matt talked abt during the npmd stream back in october, i think the one i'm most genuinely curious about is bottle imps. y'know, the cut nmt 1 story that was supposed to be paired with forever and always and time bastard back when there were supposed to be 3 stories per episode instead of 2? cuz like, as intrigued as i am by dream machine and escape from hatchetfield (and ethan doesn't die, to an extent), the explicit reason why they were cut is because they were supposedly kinda bad. the only reason we got for bottle imps being cut is, again, nick and matt deciding to reduce the number of stories per episode. they said nothing about its actual quality as a script.

and plus, from what little we know about it, doesn't bottle imps just sound intriguing? like, it was supposed to be the story that explained why bill and sylvia were a thing in forever and always. regardless of whether or not you give a shit about bill and sylvia as a pairing, we would've learned more about sylvia! i wanna know her deal!! i also wanna know why the story is called bottle imps, bc i don't think they actually explained that!!! i kinda wish they'd read this story for the stream instead of You Know What, at least it would've actually contributed something to the lore.

on the bright side, i got the work done i needed to get done post-teaching AND finished the scene i was noodling on in the plant fic i accidentally restarted and my single glass of wine post-dinner is having the intended soporific effect

on the downside. i so so so so so so badly don't want to have a meeting at 8 AM with a client who i am mostly neutral towards but about a project that is the bane of my existence atm

Would tumblr staff really downplay themselves if they allowed users to change primary blogs? Or at least allow secondary blogs to comment and send non-anon asks and interact and all that....😭😭
