#the hinges broke on this one

A tornado touched down a couple counties away and my area was in a watch hours ago but it's been done for a while now so I had my bedroom window open for the breeze
and my house was just hit with a massive and terrifying surge of wind that made me genuinely think we were about to be picked up by a tornado and that was strong enough to literally rip my door off of its hinges in the seconds it lasted 🙃
#several branches broke off the maple tree including a huge live one#we lost a ceramic garden gnome#we literally just fixed my door after the knob broke#and when i say ripped it off its hinges#i mean that the hinges are bent with the screws still in them and covered in chunks of wood#i am going to need a whole new door

Opinions on Pearl Heart?
I actually dunno if you’ve seen me talking about MN on twitter, but tldr I want that woman dead. You’ve made such a hateable antagonist. Literally love this fic so much, but I haven’t read the most recent chapter and in general I struggle to read Sweet chapters, because they’re REALLY GOOD and they make me SO FUCKING MAD I BLACK OUT
Uhhhhh Pearl Heart should fist fight me I’d win
#ask#not art#I HATE HER I HAYE HER I HATE HER#actually tho the whole fic makes me nauseous in a very good way#but the sweet chapters specifically are like I’m being personally attacked#the chapter with him trying to impress Mac and Percy :(((#it was like you broke into my home and beat me with a crowbar!!! DUDE!!#WHY IS HE ME?2!/! WHY DID YOU MAKE SWEET HEART LITERALLY ME?:!:!!/!!?!??#I was reading one of the more recent chapters out loud and it got to the part where Pearl took his door off his hinges#and I trailed off like a fucking cartoon character the way my jaw dropped#PRO TIP IM SO FUCKING MAD#LOVE UR WRITING#I THINK WE SHOULD KILL OFF PEARL

If the landlord doesn’t want me fishing around in their shower vent and cold air returns, then they shouldn’t make them stink like rotting garbage. You painted over the screws so they’re hard to open? Cool. I’ll drill holes into them and get them out with a power tool because the town next to me is having a citywide garage sale and I’m sure there’s some Ryobi in there at a decent price. Your vents are coming off motherfucker, and if I find anything I swear to fucking god I am going to have both your vents and your bank account cleaned out.
#I also have a closet door that glues itself shut every time it’s closed… because they used fucking Mod-Podge to finish it I guess???#And the knob fell off when I pulled on it. So I stuck a hex wrench in there to try to use it as a handle#but I couldn’t grip it well enough to pull it open#so I karate-kneed the door on the side of the knob while pulling and it opened#As I’m talking about knobs… a knob is responsible for finishing this apartment#The cabinets don’t line up. The bedroom closet doors don’t shut at the same time#because they’re too tight in the jam and push the other out when you close a door while the other door is already closed#The cabinets in the bathroom don’t fully close because the hinges were drilled at an angle#The base molding looks like it fell off a cliff and was fractured in three places#SHIT-COLORED CIGARETTE TAR DRIPS DOWN THE WALLS IN THE BATHROOM WHEN THEY GET WET#Fuck you and your lease. If you’re allowed to have irresponsible carpenters and maintenance; I am allowed to responsibly burn incense#If people are allowed to smoke; I am allowed to burn incense#“No candles” fuck you for making me need to burn scents in the first place#Orwellian fucking apartment. Literally 1984. Not because of the rules; just because the apartment is a dysfunctional shithole#and it smells like the rotting remains of boiled cabbage just like the book#And if anyone asks me why I didn’t call maintenance I’m going to respond with my unresolved service request for the A/C#which conveniently broke down during a heat wave#Did it really break down or did the landlords cut it to save money? Like yes A/Cs break during the summer#but I wouldn’t doubt sabotage either. It doesn’t turn on at all.#The site asked what dates I’d like them to look at it. I gave my dates and said I’d be there all day. I waited at home for two days. No one#No follow-up until nearly a month later saying “We’re still getting to all the service requests please bear with us.” Oh thanks#You couldn’t have done that sooner?

when i was in 6th grade my orthodontist had my braces taken off for a short time, because they all hated me, before putting them back on again. and in that short time i had to wear a retainer. it was the standard oddly shaped bit of plastic shaped to your mouth with little wires that held it to your teeth to keep them in place.
and it was great. i only had to wear it in downtime or when i was sleeping and cleaning it was easy because it was just a flattish chunk of plastic
well my current retainer is just a fucking invisalign which i am supposed to wear at all time except when im eating (whats the fucking point in taking my braces off then??) and it is a bitch to clean because it gets gross not even halfway through the day and its shaped to my teeth so its full of all these ridges for mouth bacteria to live in so i constantly have to brush it and disinfect it like a second set of teeth! this sucks!
#also the stupid cheap plastic case my “retainer” came in broke within a few DAYS of me getting it#the hinge snapped!!#i didnt even fucking do anything.#this never happened with my old one!#it was NOTICABLY higher quality in every single way

always incredibly baffled by all three of my roommates’ inability to look at a thing in the house that is broken and then: 1) examine how it might be broken, 2) how it might be fixed, and 3) if it can’t be fixed, what needs to be done in order to make sure further damage isn’t caused
#the trashcan lid popped off so the steppy thing wasn’t opening it#TWO of them looked and concluded the whole thing was broken???#instead of registering that the lid just needed to be popped back on?#before one of the cabinet door hinges broke#and whoever did that just LEFT IT HANGING ON THE SECOND ONE#instead of taking the whole thing off so the hinge didn’t warp/the wood it was anchored too didn’t splinter off???#pantry door slides off its hinges and one of em just looks at me wide eyed like ‘what do I do’#I go over there look at it and slide it back on the hinge#she’s like oh has this happened before?#NO I JUST LOOKED AT THE THING AND FIGURED IT OUT#YOU COULDVE DONE IT TOO#istggggggggggg#truly so so baffling#I am NOT a home improvement or repair god by any means#but I certainly look like it next to these three

you know if you think about it, it should really be illegal that i have to pay SO MUCH MONEY so that i can SEE THINGS just because my eyeballs didn't eyeball correctly when i was getting born
#rose rants#rose rambles#glasses#like yeah i understand that manefacturing the lenses themselves costs money#but like#does it really cost hundreds of usd??#and the FRAMES#brother i know for a FACT that it does not cost you#THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS#to make a PLASTIC FRAME#that i could literally snap with my BARE HANDS#hell; when i was a kid one of my friends broke the hinge on my glasses by throwing a pillow at my head#a PILLOW#tf#like some money? yea ok people have to make a living i'll accept it#but not THIS MUCH money#hrgh

had a conversation with someone today about how iconic the DS was. It played GBA games and DS games...With a backlit screen! It made a nice little click when I opened it. I took it everywhere
#I miss it#my original one broke bc my stupid kid hands dropped it and the hinge holding the screens together fell apart#it lived for a long time though

The failure had wounded Dottore's pride. Because of that, rather than disgust and irritation toward Scaramouche's outburst, it angered him, especially when the puppet grabbed his collar. As if it was on purpose, as if the Doctor wanted his most ambitious experiment to not come to fruition.
Dottore grabbed Scaramouche's shoulder, attempting to shove him back down against the table--in part, it was to break the hold, but that didn't matter. He wasn't trying to move away. Rather, he further crowded Scaramouche's space; he only sought to dominate it instead of these useless threats the puppet made towards him.
"It. Rejected. You!" Each word was spat out with the gnashing of teeth, his mouth contorted with his own rage. He didn't often allow himself to lose such control, but between the puppet grabbing him and the way the Electro Gnosis failed to implant within his body, everything he'd worked towards and expected crumbled at his touch.
No. He wouldn't allow this. Even if he had to tear this puppet apart, again and again, he was going to make it work. And then he'd tear it apart again at its conclusion and seek even greater heights.
This wasn't Dottore's peak; he wouldn't allow it to be. Especially not since, supposedly, the puppet's purpose was to house the Gnosis.
"If you would--!" This stupid puppet, the disgusting malfunctioning thing, grabbing and demanding things of him. He wanted to drive a scalpel into it, tear those stitches right back open. It couldn't even survive that, and it thought that Dottore was the one lacking here?
"I am going to fix it. And since there's evidently something wrong with you as you are--" Enough, calm down calmdowncalmdown. He had to slow his racing thoughts before he truly did lose control. Old bad habits, resurfacing. "--I have to fix that. First."

#starlitwishes#m: dottore#he doesn't have to succeed in pushing wrenn or anything#he IS just very very angy tho#i didn't think he was gonna actually get mad but he did#tapped into the younger absolutely feral dottore of his past#i submit him to however wrenn will act in reaction to it#dehumanization tw#torture tw#abuse tw#manipulation tw#vivisection tw#victim blaming tw#dottore: i am just a reasonable if extreme scholar and i am very cool and collected#also dottore: i want to stab him i want to stab him iwanttostabiwant--#chill out my guy lsdknfew#idk why he got THIS mad over it but i think he just kinda lost it a little#unhinged doctor moment#the hinges broke on this one

actually there is something to think about irt althaea and ardbert and it is i think that ardbert is such an odd one out because hes a crumb of something deep within althaea that she wasnt even fully aware of her and so is so unsuspectinglty her and also the one thing emet tries to forget he ever saw in her. and it was hatred
#the anger and hatred and vitriol that seemingly posessed althaea in the like final 3 days#cause its good to remember that nobody has ever seen althaea be angry before. very few people have ever seen her cry#and NOBODY has ever seen her cry from sadness. but anger was simply smthn not even althaea think she had in her#the first time anybody saw it was when emet announced to althaea him siding with the creation of zodiark#thinking that he could sway her to join in but instead for the first time althaea showed utter and absolute contempt#she threw a book at his head and slammed the door running out so hard that it broke one of the hinges#the second time he tried to talk to her about it she proclaimed that she hopes he dies (the bad word!) and never talks to her again in any#life. and yells that she wished she never met him and that she never was his friend and to never seek her out#and then she just fucking VANISHED and they began trying to cover up the existence of the seat

there's an essay cooking in my brain about the emphasis on 'power' in will & hannibal's relationships with killing and its direct ties to the different ways they both view god. also its ties to the way they adopt aesthetics (beautiful & ugly instead of good & bad) to excuse themselves from their own actions and place their own suffering over that which they inflict on others. gotta give it a stir and let it simmer
#hannibal: you betrayed me. i'm going to slaughter your surrogate daughter now#will: you let my brain cook in my head like pork in a crockpot but go off i guess#meanwhile alana and jack and abigail: bleeding out on the floor at the hands of people they thought cared about them#their whole relationship hinges on what they do to each other and everyone else is just window dressing#will is the Only one of them who ever acts to avenge a person outside of their toxic duo and that's beverly#and that's 90% because he blames hannibal for taking her from him and because he feels guilty for his own role in her death#obviously at first will genuinely does care about jack and alana and abigail#but by the end of it they see their other relationships like playing with dolls#angry at the person who broke the doll because it belongs to them. not because they imagine the doll might feel it#anyway i'm working on this essay#hannibal#my writing

Almost... >8D
#ooc#3d printing#so squeaaakyyyy :(#one of the hinges broke but otherwise I'm so close to finishing the finger design#and from there i can move on to the rest of the hand#maybe another hinge for what I'll call the metacarpal sections#those can be glued to a rubber glove#I'm gonna have a custom gunslinger prop#probably several#bonus points if it's easy to switch one hand for another and the wrist parts can be separate#mix and match!#I'll make a version with claws#I'll probably print fingers in trans colors at least once#to wear to pride maybe or just sit on my shelf looking cool

I bought Gotham Knights knowing full well that my new computer won't be able to download it, but I'll test my patience and luck with my old computer if it means I can have a sliver of gameplay.
#it took at least 10 minutes for it to start up and it turned off twice during that#i don't know how long I've had it for but it tried melting itself during its early years#also it only has one hinge now because the other one broke so it's held open by a metal rod#but it will be able to run gotham knights

@three-dee-ess since someone mentioned their 3DS but also this is really important because
that's what happened to my old 3ds too.
guys, if your 3DS starts PRYING ITS OWN FUCKING BACKING OFF. it might be too late man. i don't even know if it's safe to try to remove at that point.
#important#save#btw i already transferred the data to a new one far before this point (when the hinge broke)#it was sitting like this in a drawer for almost 6 years#this guy was with me through my worst years. 12-16. fucking TROOPER 🫡#my dsi has somehow outlived it.#you dont wanna hear the full scope of whats up with my dsi#...might make a post about it anyway just to freak people out
