Just had a core memory unlock and Iām not quite sure what to do except post it??
When I was like, six, I was really sad, and I canāt remember why I was, but due to my absolute and utter despair, my six year old brain decided to grab a butter knife, and jam it through my throat, luckily it was just a butter knife, and didnāt do anything, but my mom just so happened to walk in the room and see me, six, in a kitchen with the lights off, probably crying, holding a shiny pointy thing up to my throat, and all I remember getting from her is a gentle āoh nonono, we donāt do that, letās put that away and go to bedā (it was about 9pm Iād guess), and I thought about it and joked about it a lot before I finally thought of the context of walking in and seeing that, and realized how tired she had to be to never ask me why I did that in the first place, or even bring it up in the future. Like Iām deadass sure she donāt remember and this is one my earliest memories.
#she turned the lights on when she walked in#and looked genuinely upset#entirely unrelated#but I held up the same powerful weapon#that of a butter knife you could say#to the 13 year old neighbour kid when I was seven and he felt so upset he ran home and told his grandma I tried to kill him#it didnāt touch him#HE walked up behind ME#while I was very loudly and OBVIOUSLY cutting carrots#so he brought me to his grandparents house and they yelled at me for an hour#I never went back there again#but my at the time sever year old sister left their pet hamsters cage open and our outdoor rat hunting cat killed it#their fault they let a seven year old play with their hamster#and DIDNT properly seal it#the place I grew up was fun

I love the idea that Michael is always gloomy and low-energy with a bit of snark but the mere IDEA of Foxy turns him into the most easily excitable person on the planet
YES, but I also extent that to every animatronic he really likes!!
#ask reply#YOU GET IT#this is something Iāve made sure to be apart of his personality#despite everything I think Michael still really likes animatronics#he knows how they work how they are built their personalities etc#so he still has some animatronics he really likes#that just get him excited and cheered up#FOXY is definitely the top one next to Helpy#Foxy will always hold a place in his heart no doubt#gives him childlike wonder and whimsy back#helpy he grew pretty instantly attached to#thatās HIS lil guy#then handfuls of other animatronics he enjoys#Michael doesnāt have a lot to smile about#so he definitely found his own fun in all of this#love him dearly

I think the funniest thing about how the Fandom perceives Tim (especially obnoxious Tim fans) is that he is was deeply hurt by the actions Jason, Damian, and Dick have done to him, but lowkey thatās just the fandom projecting
Tim lowkey did not give a fuck. Maybe a little at first, but he definitely does not hold a grudge against any of them.
#Tim Drake#unhinged tim drake#like will Tim eternally hate you if you take a sip from his Soda? yes#but attempted murderā¦ he can get over that#Damian and Jason were just having a really bad time#(looks at that one panel where Tim forgives Jason for being an asshole supreme)#and he can admit that Dick was under a lot of stress during the time Bruce was lost in the time stream#angst is fun though#so I donāt BLAME Tim fans for it#just sometimes itās annoying because Dick is a really good older brother and doesnāt deserve the hate for handing off a mantle he created#and Damian was a child who only grew up knowing that violence was the only way you can earn your place#and itās shown in multiple panels that Tim understands that#Tim was literally snarking while Jason beat him up at Titans Tower#(honestly that was most accurate sibling portrayal in mediaā¦ soā¦)#I say that as a younger sibling who has had so many injuries from my sister beating the crap outa me#and my younger brother emotionally decimates me on a daily basis#really#certain Tim fans just make him a wimp

For the last day of pride month: sea salt family!
#kh roxas#kh xion#kh isa#kh lea#sea salt trio#sea salt family#kingdom hearts#kh#kingdom hearts xion#kingdom hearts roxas#kingdom hearts lea#kingdom hearts Isa#kh Axel#xion kh#roxas kh#isa kh#lea kh#roxas kingdom hearts#xion kingdom hearts#lea kingdom hearts#isa kingdom hearts#no one can stop me from everything I can think of. so#not shown but Roxas is gnc but there isnāt a commonly excepted flag and I didnāt just want to use the nonbinary flag#itās important to me that you know that Lea is the only cis one in the sea salt fam I think itās funny#Xion Isa transgirl transman solidarity. we love that for them#Xion and Roxas would find solidarity in the queer and particularly trans community in a way a lot of trans people find solidarity in them#They have a gsa club at school and both join. Xion realises she is transgender and the fact that others have the experience of being a girl#trapped in a boys body blows her mind. yeah itās not exactly the same but holy shit!!!#Roxas gets to explore his identity more! figures out that gender isnāt that important to him and yeah sure he can be a girl and a guy#and whatever. itās fun! Lea and Isa grew up in a place where this stuff wasnāt talked about that much so they are confused but supportive

I learned tonight that some of my coworkers DONāT pretend to be ghostbusters when using the backpack vacuum and Iāve never been more disappointed in my peers. Like look at this (stock image) and tell me what self respecting adult wouldnāt have the dang theme song playing in their head on loop ]:<
#š Cryptid Sighting#I kid but only just#I get not everybody grew up with easy access to the classic movies or exposure to the better entries into the franchise#But these are people about my same age who grew up knowing about Ghostbusters and they donāt picture these monstrosities as proton packs smh#Whereās their fuckinā whimsy?#Also these will fuck you up haha ā¦ Iām in a world of pain in places that I didnāt know could hurt rip#Pretending to be a ghostbuster while having to lug one of these 30+ lb monstrosities up & down stairs for about 7 hours a day can do that#But I canāt deny that theyāre kinda fun. My mental illnesses were happy for a while

i need all chatfic authors to know that i love and respect you and your fics are always an entertaining read but all suspension of disbelief is out the window the moment dust sans adds '/lh' at the end of a sentence thank you
#dust sans#utmv#chatfics#exhales shakily#he is in his mid thirties and his world takes place in 2015#but maybe im asking too much. it is a chatfic after all#i like them a lot. theyre fun to read#but unfortunately they are never in character#because 'he would not fucking say that' as the kids these days say#they do not know recent slang#they would not be *that* immature#however there would be no fic because their conversations would realistically be dry as fuck#killer would be the one interesting part as would possibly cross because cross grew up on the surface he probably knows phones well#and epic too#horror? dust? bland texters. nightmare? would rather use a carrier pigeon. dream? cant read. ink? would forget.#swap? wouldnt text but he'd call instead *all the time* and post on social media#which unfortunately doesnt make for a good chatfic#geno? dying. has other problems to worry about. reaper? only when its funny (same with classic) but they probably dont interact w the mcs#fell? would text like 3 people total#it would be a chatfic of just epic killer and cross and horror and dust ever the lurkers#actually. id read that. nvrm#undertale#forgot that tag lmfao??

the boy-but-not-that-way-ism of riz gukgak send tweet
#not art#have been chipping away at a more... proper? so to say. piece of the kids for keepsake. and since its of them at the beach Im rotating#gender stuff in brain again. riz and gorgug ping a lot of the like funny gender stuff in my brain#very specifically adjacent to cultural understanding of it all... like I did say I do think riz has a gender and it can be#translated to ''man'' in solesian understanding but also that boy has close to no self awareness nor does he want to#he grew up as ''goblin'' before ''boy'' and it's kinda how he perceives himself. got a gender but doesn't wanna do much with it#kinda imagining him seeing his grandparents again and realizing that there's a gap there between himself and his grandpa too#and sitting with that for a bit. not for long that kid doesnt do that but for just a little bit#man I truly really do love that riz is aroace. my boy of the unquantifiable unimportant margins....#gorgug though is 100% trans lmao. there's a kinda distance to his own body in how he acts#that's kinda common in ''mad scientist'' characters? (or maybe my perspective's just skewed due to willow jenkins lmao)#kid spent the first two seasons fitting himself in places he Should be able to fit. and s3 is pretty much all about him Making New Spaces#thing is despite looking ardently for like. the reason Why he can't fit in in the first season I think gorgug really does#love his gnome parents and love being their child. and its confusing and tough to have to learn why something you love still hurts you#he wants it to not. he wants to make sense. and then it does and it changes nothing really#until he actively makes choices based on what he's learned. like. damn idk how to word it but#just like the ability to say ''actually this Is my life what are u gonna do? stop me from living it?'' is a powerful force#its rly fun to look at these two guys in these contexts thats like#they will never win the gender game just by virtue of being who they are. it's not designed for folks like them to win#but riz would simply not play and gorgug would design his Own game he's the champion of. and I think that rules

if escape rooms as team building exercises became popular im not sure if id be more excited or terrified
#if it isnt already anyway.. i can see it happening as a school frosh thing. idk if it would catch on as a workplace thing#i kind of find the concept of being locked in with strangers and working to find a way out weirdly exhilarating though#at least compared to icebreakers cause i dont have to spend 10 minutes racking my brain for something to blurt out abt myself#as a bonus u could like. put people into groups and give prizes to whoever escapes first second third etc. apparently they also do themed#escape rooms.. maybe let people pick a theme? or voluntary sign up? actually this would be really fun for smth like a blind friend date#although if i found out i was locked in a room with an online friend id be too excited to actually escape LOL#ive never done an escape room before so sadly i cant speak from experience. its like up there on things i want to try next to rug tufting#workshop and visiting new art exhibits or conventions. i seriously need to get out more if it wasnt for the horrors <- school and anxiety#i was planning to invite cass to a drop-in art workshop in town but neither of us could go bc typography is making us go thru hell and back#AND THEY HAD A BUTTON MACHINE TOO#im nostalgic bc i miss working in groups and not being awkward abt it or worrying abt schedule conflicts#i realized that i learn best in groups and its a little corny but i like sharing ideas and talking through a problem#in elementary i could just sit down with friends for review and come out of it energized *and* more familiar with the material#and i could technically still do it now. but as adults we're more picky abt who we work with on top of being way more busy outside school#maybe im lonely. im shy and grew up not talking to ppl unless i absolutely have to so its hard to make friends on my own i guess#only thing getting me thru it is telling myself that humans like helping and that my cringe is overblown in my head. but its hard#hence the escape rooms. i have been able to talk to 2(!!) people though!! mostly abt school stuff but im glad to be on friendly terms#i dont really know how to be happy these days cause im constantly scaring myself abt my portfolio and finding places to work#not being ambitious is part of not wanting to put energy into something that wont work out while also not having the passion to do literall#anything else.. i should probably talk to my counsellor ugh#yapping

i love my family so much. @actuallylukedanes had plans to go with their spouse to the state fair yesterday, and i planned to use my alone time to work on projects. but when i idly mentioned that i wished i could go to the fair too, because smaller local fairs were an essential and literally-every-year part of my life growing up, my best friend said there was no reason i couldn't--and their spouse's reaction to the idea was to be enthusiastically in support.
these two people, my own chosen family, not only gave me a ride so i could enjoy the day, but spent as much of it with me as possible just because we could all have fun together. and they never once made it seem like i was crashing their couple time, and when i chose to try and walk the grounds rather than using a mobility device (like i do during zoo visits that make leander happy) they never once treated me like i couldn't handle it and enforce my own limits or like i was dragging everything down by needing breaks.
so this is just an appreciation post for my people, who were happy to invite me at the last minute for a day of sun and strangers and entertainment and curly fries and testing my limits. it was nice to be reminded that i'm capable of more than my everyday routine, and also to be reminded of the way i used to live, that i miss. spontaneous plans, and trading spoons for experiences without regretting it, and not assuming that i need to stay home while everyone else does things (or assuming that i should avoid being around two people who don't get a lot of time together, cuz i don't want to bother them).
yesterday was a really good day.
#and in october i get to see black violin perform! and for my birthday i'll be seeing hadestown!!#will i be paying off my credit cards forever in order to both have fun and cover my basic needs? probably.#but it's really unbelievably nice to have fun at all--while i also have a safe place to live and access to groceries.#so i'll find a way to figure it out.#life stuff#actuallylukedanes#b who still sometimes surprises me by being so welcoming#(curly fries made at a fair are truly the best thing that don't exist anywhere else.#every year of my life before adulthood i waited all year long for the fair to start again#and every year i got to have those fries and it was just one happy memory i could count on#when actually not that much in my life was stable and reliable joy that way.#so the fair involved my family and my creativity and even my survival when i started selling things there#but the memories are all good ones--i don't remember a single bad thing.#i guess now that i think about it...fairs are my disneyland.#lol which is probably why i don't understand the appeal of actual disneyland#i already grew up in mine and when disneyland doesn't have livestock or free pens or plentiful food samples#it's hard for me to understand how it could be anywhere near as fun!#--this may be one of the things that marks my upbringing as rural.#other people had family vacations to amusement parks or natural wonders#i thought free stuff from local businesses was the height of luxury and seeing rabbits was exotic)#/tag abuse

shoutout to people with dads who are part of Gen X who introduced them to the best music of their generation when their dads were kids in the 70s-80s (it's me i'm people) (i love my dad <3)

#downed on first go!#it took me fucking forever to find my way but i finally got a general idea of how to get around the place and where everything was at#or so i thought i realized two seconds after I beat that idiot#that i'd yet to find my way down to gudrun goldilocks or whatever his name was#hope i didn't fuck anything up#i hate that kind of stuff#i know i'm probably missing out on good things but i just can't deal with games that go like#if you don't compliment the blue chancellor's pet lizard at precisely at 14:05 on a tuesday when the moon's in venus retrograde#then somebody's gonna kill themselves three chapters later and five different very important quests get closed off forever or whatever#or games where there's permanent failure hiding behind every dialogue option would be a more sensible if less fun way to say that i guess#oh well#off to liurnia we go#or i'll just see if i can't find my way to the basement first#Ćølden ring#fun fact: godrick voice actor's name is ramon tikaram#and he's the brother of british singer tanita tikaram (twist in my sobriety/good tradition etc.)#who my mother was a huge fan of when i grew up

I love Tumblr but man I kinda wish I could chat about Danganronpa on a forum. Is forum culture coming back at all recently? Is Reddit really my only option?
#I grew up on video game forums!#made some huge mistakes that didn't matter bc I was a kid under an anonymous username and the word doxxing didn't exist yet#also shared my first fanfics there. real juvenile stuff based on Zelda and Animal Crossing GC. good times~#chasing that forum experience after a disspiriting decade on Facebook and Twitter is why I returned to Tumblr in the first place#and though I love this place and the people in it ... this is not the same as the forum experience#but I might just be trying to recreate my past which is impossible and foolish anyway ...#still. could be fun
