upside of long pointy nails - long and pointy
downside of long pointy nails - I am a writer and a musician and have NO fingernails normally so when I get long pointy nails I suddenly cannot function
#you'd think that this means I don't wear them#the cons outweigh the pros#you'd be wrong#I am very awkwardly clacking away at my computer with tiny plastic pointies on my fingers#because they're PRETTY and I like the vibe

debating whether or not to drop off the face of the earth. might be fun, right? nobody wants a crybaby, a pushover, a weakling, hey?
the world desires strength? big strong one to come save the damsel in distress? then let there be no weaknesses.
#i’m so tired#there’ll be a vent fic soon 100%#the greatest year of my life destroyed in one thought#curse my mind for thinking i’d be fine this year#the cons outweigh the pros

Me: my next dog will probably be an intact male
Literally all of my friends: don’t do it
#help I need some good intact boy dog stories/hype to not scare me off 😅#like is he gonna be gross? probs#but do we need more nice wire stud dogs? also yes#would he hopefully contribute to my program in a couple gens? also yes#like the pros are outweighing the cons but literally everyone is like ‘don’t do it you’ll hate it’

being a normally offline person in the osc is so difficult because i don’t understand what half you folks are yelling about. i’m over here still trying to figure out how this app works and i’m met with somebody’s college thesis on how the taco stole the ipad’s indigestion pills or something like that… oh jesus… it’s okay to feel frustrated over something you’re passionate about, look i understand. but if you keep engaging in all this gnashing of teeth, all you’re gonna end up with is a dentist bill AND less enjoyment for these passions of yours. i know it sounds counterintuitive, but you’re gonna have to get in the habit of ignoring all this baloney. because listen even i still catch myself letting internet strangers get under my skin sometimes. people have trailmix for brains these days thinking they’re gonna gain something from all that passing judgement… it’s INFURIATING i KNOW but you gotta remind yourself: this is the internet. it’s different from the real world, and if someone on here makes you upset then you don’t need to go through all that effort of confronting them, trying to prove them wrong because 1. they don’t give a rat’s ass what you think cause all they’re thinking is “me me me im right no one else me im right” these folks are STUBBORN i tell you what. and 2. it doesn’t matter. the fact that you’re upset matters of course, but the situation itself is Not going to have any impact on your real life whatsoever. there is no point in confrontation if it is not going to resolve the conflict. i’ll say that again. There Is No Point In Confrontation If It Is Not Going To Resolve The Conflict. i swear one day you’re gonna be like 70 sitting on your front porch in a rocking chair thinking to yourself “why on god’s green earth was i so ruffled about that” because none of this Truly Matters. if you start blocking and ignoring, it will be so much easier to just forget and move on. if you throw yourself into an argument, it’s just gonna be plaguing your memory, furthermore adding negative connotations to the things you enjoy. and it pains me to see people unable to properly enjoy things because they bunched their lettuce up over what some gaggle of boneheads rambled about. look, you are not here to prove yourself. you’re not here to prove anything. you’re not here to preach gospel. you’re not here to entertain anyone. and it’s okay to be wrong sometimes. sorry if none of that made sense i haven’t had coffee yet let me get my butt out of this bed🚶♂️🚶♂️🚶♂️
.
#so many of us are chronically online and it Shows with the stuff im forced to read-📻#but its sometimes entertaining discourse so like. pros and cons i dont know which outweighs what#confession#/ii#/ii/taco#/ii/mepad

ngl, i bet nine kinda wishes he never left his home and just stayed inside during episode 1 because sure, in meeting sonic he got 2 much needed hugs, but at what cost?
having this stranger follow you, break into your home and tell you that you’re actually his best friend?
getting dragged into the whole mess with the chaos council?
being faced with the possibility of your death and realizing that your only friend never actually saw you, but someone completely different, leading to you feeling betrayed?
having the entire shatterverse against you and another betrayal?
going mad with power which is further fueled by all the emotions and pain you’re shoving down because you cannot allow yourself to show such vulnerability?
and when it’s all over, you’re more alone than ever because there’s no way you can just go back to new yoke and continue doing what you were doing before this all happened. no one trusts you, in fact they all probably hate you. you’re just left on this destroyed monument that will forever symbolize your darkest moments.
yea meeting sonic was not the greatest thing that ever happened to nine in hindsight
fuck, he really is such a tragedy. he started prime alone and he ended prime being even more alone with a few more mental issues as a bonus. all he wanted was security and a home, to feel safe for the first time in his life. that really isn’t a lot to ask for, especially for an 8 yr old
#i’d say the cons outweigh the pros here#should’ve stayed inside#miles nine prower#sonic prime#sonic prime spoilers

What finally pushes Grian to leave the watchers? Does he ever reconnect with his adopted mom?
Resentment builds over time.
This isn’t what he wanted. The loss of autonomy, the social and emotional regression. He knows he’s not on equal footing, he knows most of them see him as a pet, they just want to see him perform. He feels lied to, used.
He’s on slightly positive/neutral feelings with his Watcher, but even then he gets overwhelmed, even then he can’t be confident what her true feelings or intentions are.
Turning into a Watcher is also scary. It hurts, he thought he was honestly going to die when his wings grew out. So when his hands occasionally cramp, he’s scared! He looks and takes note of other Watcher’s anatomy, how tall they are, the eyes, the feathers, talons, he just sees torture, and for what? What did he honestly expect from this?
Grian joined the Watchers because he wanted more from his life, the updates were just too promising…. He wanted to build better, bigger, the desire to know more, it’s a selfish reason and he doesn’t know how he’ll ever look his friends in the eyes again. If he does.
The isolation is also maddening, he doesn’t have anyone but the watchers, he can’t go anywhere without one, he can’t talk to anyone, no one actually acknowledges him.
I don’t even know what the final straw could be, you can only stay frustrated for so long, so sick to your stomach for so long. A particularly bad migraine can be enough of a reminder that eyes are going to grow out of his face if he stays.
It ends with tnt and a complete meltdown.
He knows how to fly, he knows how to open portals, he bought his time. If he sees her before he leaves, they say nothing, the eyes say enough for both of them.
Right now I don’t see him ever reconnecting with Her. But he does think about her, when he tells Mumbo about everything he almost refers to her as his mom, he knows that’s what their dynamic was, that’s what she saw, but he doesn’t want to say it out loud.
#ask#evoau#i wonder if I’ll have different feeling when I actually sleep#sleep deprivation killing my ass#things just slowly pile up. til he can’t take it. til it’s not worth putting up with#the cons outweigh the pros at some point#maybe it’s something to do with Taurtis. or the fact everyone on evo is gone. server over and shut down#the crack in his heart finally breaks

fallout tv show thoughts
Sat on it for quite a while because I didn’t want to be a cynical lore snob but all in all I don’t like the Fallout show. Inconsistencies and weird lore changes aside, I take the most issue with the show’s shallow understanding of Fallout’s core themes. Aesthetically the show was on point in a lot of areas, it hit a lot of surface-level tropes the franchise is well known for. For me personally, the show left a bad taste in my mouth because it felt like the writers didn’t care much for the source material. The Fallout tv show took a setting that invests a lot of time and care into human tenacity, hope in dreary environments, the desire to rebuild and form communities, imperialism and capitalism disguised as the American Dream, and turned it into “Look how wacky and evil the world is now because Capitalism tm!"
#i didnt hate everything but the cons outweighed the pros for me#im just frustrated with it#i also dont think youre a bad fallout fan or anything if you had fun w the show#to each their own. it's a big franchise and not everybody likes it for the same reason.#if youre just here for gore ghouls and one-liners that's between you and your god#fallout

#17 Snailshade
no one really knows what this guys deal is bc he doesn't like or talk to anyone. Honestly the only reason he stays in RiverClan instead of fucking off to be a loner is for the security. He prefers vanishing early to patrol by himself, which he usually can do as even the deputy occasionally forgets he exists for days at a time.
#warrior cats#snailshade#SunDrownCove#warrior cats oc#yarrow draws#local guy who has been quietly working the same office job for like 10+ years#and is clearly annoyed by the job and by all of his co-workers but this place pays his bills and offers good health care benefits#honestly i just wanted to explore the realistic idea that not every cat in the clan would be the same cookie cutter--#'im going to be the BEST warrior and i love the clan and have no other thoughts about it!!'#snailshade is a slightly more extreme example but luckily current riverclan leadership is pretty lax if ur not actively causing problems#sometimes a bitch is just there for the health care lmao#and the boss decides the pros of their service outweigh the cons of not always being a peppy Team Player#morningstar at his warrior ceremony / job interview: 'here at this company we like to think of each other as FAMILY--'#snailshade: shut up. here's the documents you wanted. give me my paycheck.

The only true tragedy of a short, sexy ass lady like me dating a short, sexy ass king like Levi Ackerman is that after we smash, I put his white button-down shirt on and it ISN'T a fucking dress on me because no it is proportional to my size and fits JUST RIGHT???
#i can live with it#the pros outweigh the one con#guess i just have to walk around naked huh#i don't think he'll mind#feeling unhinged today#levi my love#mugi rambles

about 30 hours into veilguard and while I have an essay worth of my problems w the game and how this is absolutely not ten year's worth of developing I do want to say what I do like. the maps (visuals/progression/exploration), combat, and the companions (only five of them. neve and taash annoy me and I would absolutely not recruit them if this game didn't force you to)... overall it's all right on its own but it's no dragon age game.
#i dont want to pass final judgement until i finish the main story but#trying so hard to not talk about everything i hate about this game#my main thing is how your choices do not matter. the three dialogue choices are essentially the same thing#absolutely no roleplay and no replay value aside from what. making a new character to look at and who to romance#which is fine i suppose but they should have said that this game is more linear instead of lying#dragon age 2 had more choices and that game was shit out in less than a year . embarrassing lol#i haven't really played origins properly so when i say this i mean the main four companions#but in every dragon age game ive liked all the companions. there were only very very few i didn't care for#but neve and taash bore me to death and i hate that you have to be nice to them especially when theyre being unfair#also i don't mean to be obnoxious when i say its no dragon age game . i genuinely felt like i was playing a ubisoft game#the dragon age identity has been stripped since the original writers were cut off thats just a fact#can i even say im disappointed when i never even had expectations to begin w#in the end the cons outweigh the pros and this game failed miserably to be a dragon age successor or whatever. its a complete sanitization#this franchise has always been a mess#dragon age veilguard#datv spoilers#bioware critical#six speaks

RE: RE: Skatemaxxing
I know someone who sells pretty good spines. It really depends if you want to have cosmetically identical or externalized though. Alternatively there's options for spinal reinforcement structures?
How heavy are your existing arms anyway?
+ I know I talk a lot about how much I like my augments, and how I'd be willing to take on more in the future, but I really don't want to replace my spine—
+ My current cybernetics weigh approximately four pounds a piece, totaling to sixteen additional pounds of weight in my upper body; This has lead to issues with shoulder and lower back pain in the past, until I reworked the tertiary arms' hydraulic system, added a few additional internal supports (how many ribs does a man actually need?), and replaced redundant metals with carbon fiber. The tertiary arms are actually lighter, because they're more for convenience than CQB, meanwhile my "dominant" prosthesis are considerably sturdier. I actually scaled down a few systems intended for the Blackbeard and Vlad frames and repurposed them for my own purposes. (+6 Apply Fists to Face)
+ Anyways, even with my cybernetics in a workable- albeit, admittedly archaic- state, I still have to routinely work out and attend bi-weekly physical therapy. Not to mention the medications I and many other augmented pilots opt for. There's a reason why I so vehemently encouraged Kennedi to look into physical therapy, acupuncture, and stump care; A cybernetic is an accommodation, not a cure.
#lancer#oc rp#lancer rpg#lancer rp#+ the question ive received a few times now is why i put so much effort into my cybernetics#+ when i could just get organic replacements and be done with the fuss#+ but that's just genuinely not what i WANT#+ to me the pros largely outweigh the cons

so your version of plasmius still loves maddie??
Hmm, depends on how you define "love", I guess. Maddie is more like a pseudo-obsession for Plasmius; she's a way to hurt Jack, who is the primary obsession.
It definitely thinks it loves her, and it certainly cares for her, but if Jack fell out of love with her of his own accord, and she were no longer a weapon, Plasmius would rapidly become indifferent to her; possibly even bitter in the same way it is towards Jack, since she abandoned Vlad too, at the end of the day.
It's love for Danny is real and unconditional, but it's love for Maddie is a means-to-an-end with strings.
#danny phantom#Vlad Plasmius#Vlad Masters#Vlad on the other hand just wants friends again haha#it's a constant weighing the pros and cons of being alone all the time vs. bringing Plasmius near Jack regularly#clearly being alone all the time in relative silence outweighs having friends but having to keep the *livid* ghost in your head away lol
