āTell me weāre dead and I'll love you even more. I'm surprised that I say it with feeling. There's a thing in my stomach about this. A simple thing. The last rung.ā

Grover: You drive like a lunatic!
Lester: Hey, I just shaved three hours off of our ETA, how about a thank you?
#S: unknown#Iām torn between Apollo being an extremely safe driver#or Apollo being an absolutely insane driver whoās so used to working in altitude that he actually tries to make cars go up sometimes#mf drives in the sky I feel like he has no regard for the rules of the road#I bet he thinks heās a safe driver but in reality heās blowing past stop signs (they donāt exist in the sky) and going 50 over the limit#trials of apollo#incorrect quotes#incorrect riordanverse#lester papadopoulos#grover underwood

Erm
#uh. my city is fucked up.#I literally do not know what to do#I just moved all my shit back into my room and ignored the rest of everything else#so much debris and flooding and the power is extremely spotty and thereās a tree leaning on one of the power lines š#baby gator has returned as well. so maybe itās a good sign. tho she was chirping a lot#like the streets r fucking TRASHED#roads straight blocked and lights and signs down. roofs torn#okā¦ Iāll maybe delete later bc itās kinda heavy stuff I guess#but also i still have lingering concussion symptoms?? šš but the clinic is closed?#maybe itās stress??

These construction workers that are redoing the road I live by need to fuck off
The DUG IN MY YARD (didn't tell anyone why) and broke a gas line and somehow didn't notice before simply reburying it and I'm so glad someone else smelled it outside because I would not have
And now it's not even 8 in the morning and they're already being loud
I'm so ready to start throwing rocks
#apparently everyone on my street has been complaining#and the road is too torn up for them to leave it#but I'd honestly prefer a dirt road over having to deal with this bs#vent#tw vent#(kind of)

Once again having Eliot Spencer thoughts to Zach Bryanās āā68 Fastbackā song.
#listen#LISTEN OKAY#when he says now I have a diver that chooses the high road#after saying he was torn up for parts like#thatās Moreau vs Nate right there#or you could even argue those that put his parts back together could also be Hardison or Parker okay#IDK WHAT IT IS EXACRLY#EXCEPT THE WHOLE SONG#ITS JUST GOOD OKAY#that is all#leverage#Zach Bryan#Eliot Spencer

"When Will is crying itās because he has all these feelings and Mike doesnāt understand and he canāt find a way to express them in a way that Mike can understand" is giving major "I want to tell you this story without having to confess anything" vibes which further #PROVES that the van scene is indeed siken coded from start to finish can i get an amen ladies š
#will wanting to tell mike that he's gay and he loves him without having to say i'm gay and i love you. bc Saying The Words and Speaking#It Into Existence actually saying I Like Boys And I Especially Love You makes it real and makes it a thing that you can't ever take back#and that is just. so so so scary.#very hashtag real of them....... very hashtag relatable one might even say...#the torn up road as a whole is very will + byIer coded if like ... if byIer isn't endgame. but it will be so forget i said that <3

I went into Peril on Gorgon expecting a light-hearted funny old-fashioned Old-World-Blues-style adventure, instead I want the devs to go back to working on this fucking game so they can patch in an option to round up the entirety of the board and burn them alive
#the outer worlds#peril on gorgon#I shouldnāt have taken Parvati with me sheās so torn up#went in expecting old world blues and got lonesome road instead

i forgot to mention that yesterday the doctor brought out this patient to optical who immediately asked, "which ones are the men's glasses?" like, great, we're off to a transphobic start; love that for us. the doc is like, "oh, you know, they're kind of all together." and the other optician takes the chart (thank someone because i am not about to suffer this human). i hear her say, "yeah, and some of them are unisex!" to which he immediately comes out with, "oh, i don't want any of THAT."
like, sir, kindly remove your head from your ass. we're coming for the term unisex now? get the fuck over yourself.
i got distracted with helping my trainee with a woman who couldn't get the deal on sunglasses, but later the guy working front desk was like, "did you catch the horrible vibes off of that guy? 'where are the men's glasses?' shut up! and then he was like, 'that's not how i was raised.' no one cares. sir, this is a wendy's! leave your garbage opinions at home."
thank someone my coworkers aren't shit, at least.
#transphobia#irl#this is in horse and buggy town#no he was not amish#front desk guy is great#work#yeah i don't wear my pride bracelet in this town#but i do wear my lesbian flag ring because let's face it#they don't notice something that subtle#unless they're friends of dorothy#that's not true#i did wear my pride bracelet#until the cop pulled me over#somehow that made me uncomfortable even though he didn't say anything homophobic#also i drive by this farm every day#on the road i got pulled over on#and it has a āfarmers for trumpā sign#under the most ragged and torn up flags#one american flag and one israeli flag#both of them absolutely look like they've been put through a paper shredder like they are so ripped up#the vibes on that road are abysmal

save me silly coffee drink. dear god please save me
#personal#trying to drive to my regular coffee shop turned into a fucking Ordealā¢ bc the road its on is closed#like for a whole mile or something its fucking obnoxious#and google of course kept trying to get me to take the CLOSED TORN UP ROAD and i was losing my mind#if i had gone thru all that and the cafe was closed that would have been the last straw in my stupid baka life#my head hurts and my hair feels gross even tho i showered yesterday and theres loud construction outside here too#and i have to wake up early tomorrow to drive my mom to the hospital for a procedure and stay there for who knows how long#AUGHHH. AHHHHHHHHHHH#one of the things i used to do before my voice dropped on T was scream really well but i cant do that anymore š#i used to shriek in my car to let off steam when i got overwhelmed but now its just more frustrating bc i cant do it anymore šššš#im fine btw im just The Complainer

#kaguya sama spoilers#iino & osaragi#kaguya sama manga#iino x osaragi#the more i make these the more unhinged the tags get lol#on my earlier reads i thought osaragi's rant was kinda like when shinomiya insults shirogane in order to persuade fujiwara away from him#but now i also think it's similar to when iino tells shirogane all the reasons she shouldn't like ishigami only to cry at the end#what do jolene the stone bowl arc and nerdy girl's hate me have in common#they were all supposed to be straight but it doesn't take much to think that they're very much not#seriously the lyrics of hate me are literally about the singer taking the boy that her friend loves#but she spends most of the song screeching to her friend as if burning bridges and knowing her friend hates her for sure is the actual poin#it's the same idea from torn-up road where they do something self-destructive to know for certain that it will be unrequited#hate me is a banger go listen to it! but anyway#the scorpion story fits not only bc of the 'nature' part but bc sadoeuphemist writes it as a loop#the story usually plays out badly but the loop continues anyway which works for knowing the bad ending but being unable to give up#against her better judgement#coincidentally othello is iino's character song although it's about the board game not the shakespeare play#but there's an essay on othello that talks about mimetic desire and that sums up what i was thinking in an older post really well#also fyi torn-up road and othello are a male narrator talking about a man just to clear that up#web weaving

I am watching an interview with Christian and the interviewer referred to Checo as the second driver and Christian didnāt correct him.
Not only that but he also said āā¦..of course Checo has to strive for that(the championship) otherwise why would he be competing. But I think you know the reality is thatā¦ā¦.or the probability is that Max over the season is the more likely candidate for the world championship.ā
#dammā¦ I mean everyone knew but that is brutal from Christian#he followed it up with Checo also has the capability to be right there butā¦.#Iām a bit torn what I think about this#itās easy to say well itās the truth because I have no attachment to Checo but if it were Daniel I would be fuming on his behalf#Christian is one of the top 2 TPās on the grid but I think he missed the mark her slightly#and stop jinxing our boy#knock on wood cross my heart black cat crossing the road#max verstappen#winter break 2022/23#f1

does anyone have strong opinions on grey warden bethany vs circle mage bethany that theyād like to make a case for
#im so interested in both so im torn#it also has effects on a lot of other character relationships#like varricās bartrand quest is a big one#and also anders. anders who saved bethanyās life in the deep roads#versus anders who risked bethanyās safety by blowing up the chantry while sheās in the circle#puts a completely different spin on things for me#idk im trying to loop in extra factors like that bc i love both versions of bethy so much
