Miso soup and exhaustion pair well together on this Saturday morning

Wassup?

*vaguely checks phone and social media - nothing happening. Stifles a yawn*

See ya later

*shuffles back to bed, snuggles under covers starts snoring*

Was talking to a group of junior high kids and the topic of personal aesthetic came up and I (in my apparent old peopleness) said that one of the girls in the circle gave me VSCO girl energy. I have been informed that that is not a thing now. What I wanna know is who was supposed to send the email to my millennial butt that VSCO is now called coconut vibes?!?

Sometimes the 'old' things are better

Seems a lot of ppl are jumping the Twitter ship. I actually enjoyed being able to converse with different people and share things and have randos see it. I never put a lot of thought into Tumblr bc I only have so much mental space for social media and I didn't want to stretch myself too thin.

I had a blog for a loooong time with WordPress, but they have made changes that I am not a fan of and make it more difficult for me to use instead of easier. Maybe it is because I actually used to code HTML and design websites, all these pre-made blocks seem counter-intuitive and never do what I need them to do.

But, I have a friend who is addicted to Tumblr and one of my offspring have decided to come here as well. I figured I would give it a go and worst case just I just scream into the void as always, though I do hope to at least have some old friends drop by now and again so we can have a good laugh.

I am still learning this, though, so I ask for patience. It is also the holiday season and with Turkey and trees and birthdays, this is a busy time of year. I am lurking, though, to those that I follow. I see you.

WE OUTSIDE

dedication under the cut:

i originally started this just a few days before janice burgess passed away. if you have been following me for a while, you'd know that the backyardigans is still one of my all time favorite shows to this day: a major brainworm ive had since i was first popped out the womb.

she had such a huge hand in me and my siblings childhoods outside of backyardigans, as well, and i cant understate how much it means to me to see a black woman have such a major role in various popular animated franchises.

RIP to one of my greatest animation inspos, ESPECIALLY when it comes to children's entertainment. the fact that mrs. burgess passed on the day before my birthday hurts especially, so i dedicate this drawing to her! i would not be who i am w/o these goobers, so thank you

I have this confessions blog blocked because it’s full of vile crap that lands in the Homelander tag and I prefer not to browse through it but someone linked me to this absolute gem from earlier this month. Wow, this is the best #prostategate 2024 post, you win, I’m in blissful tears, almost worth unblocking the account to not miss these page-long tirades.

Under the cut for low IQ and high aggression

I’m in tears. If it’s a parody, it’s a good one.

it's a real shame roberto never actually met knives. you just know he would have called him hundred spoons to his face.

that man may not be a century and a half old but he clearly has seen some shit. he didn't have many fucks left to give and honoring what was essentialy some guys edgy villain name was not going to make it on the list

Maturing is realizing that this scene:

Was Oogway letting Shifu face his own problems (it's crucial to his development).

I've been seeing a post on my dash where some USAmerican tumblrina feels sorry for the rest of the world because we don't have Halloween, and that we should steal it for ourselves, too.

I just... uuuugggghhh. Dear worried USAmerican tumblrina: please do not feel sorry for us, at least not about that particular issue.

Like. As far as Finland goes (but I'm 100% certain this applies to a bunch of other countries all over the globe too), our supermarkets and our shopping centres are trying their absolute hardest to shove Halloween down our throats. They really, really try. From Halloween themed doughnuts to Halloween balls and Halloween garlands (for our Halloween trees?? I really have no idea), it's all over the place. It may not actually be celebrated to the extent it is in the US, but it certainly cannot be escaped, and as long as there's plastic crap to sell, it's not going away.

If I could, I'd shove all that nonsense into a cargo container and return it to where it came from. But I can't! You'll catch me dead before you'll catch me buying a Halloween themed Runeberg torte, though.

Sneak peek of the Day

Mickhail bites his lip, quickly scanning the surroundings as if weighing the risks. His eyes dart back to you and Telio, and you can see the war of emotions playing out on his face—between wanting to leave, to keep you safe, and knowing deep down that you’re right.

"You're a pain," he mutters, the frustration still there, but softer now. "You couldn't be normal kids, no! Well, fine!"

what i wish people would also explore more when it comes to Percy is the other side of his feelings about his mom about family and his childhood but this fandom is too afraid to paint Sally even in the slightest bad light (even if it's not bad just acknowledging her flaws because she's a human being and not perfect) that no one will touch on that subject. like yes Sally is the best mom but she also isn't and that's the thing! She isn't perfect! but she tried her best but her best still got Percy hurt and it isn't her fault at all but that's the tragedy of it. i want Percy's feelings about this explored. how he grew up with a loving mom but an abusive step father. how his step father would humiliate him and call him stupid but then his mom soothed him and told him he's not the things Gabe calls him. how Gabe would hurt him and Sally would be there to make him happy and loved but at the same time she stayed with him. i want Percy's feelings explored about how he knows his mother loves him but her absence still hurt him. she would work so much to have money to raise him she did that for him but at the same time it meant Percy was left alone or with Gabe. Sally gave up so much for him, she sent him away to protect him but at the same time he was sent away from his mom. she's the only parent he has because his father is absent and Gabe is not actually a parental figure at all but she's also often absent in his life too and that must have left him with such mixed feelings because it's not all black and white! Sally's love protected him but also hurt him. Percy loves his mom so so so much but there's also this deep-seated bitterness and hurt and anger he never let himself feel and then the guilt for having those feelings because his mom loves him he knows that and she gave up so much for him and she married a monster that abused her to protect him, he knows that but it doesn't make it hurt any less. the mess his emotions are because he knows his mom suffered for him and did it from her love for him but he still desperately wishes she never married that monster that he wouldn't have to have the childhood he had with him that he wouldn't have to live with the trauma he was left with. this all is exactly what makes their relationship so fascinating and also heartbreaking.

or the idea of Percy having weird mixed feelings after Estelle is born because that's his little sister and he loves her with his whole heart and would do anything for her and wants only the best for her but there's also this little jealous monster deep down that wonders why she gets to have a loving mom and a loving dad and a happy normal life but he never got that. why does she deserve it but not him? why couldn't he have that too? doesn't he deserve that too? he was just a child too so why why why??? and then the guilt of feeling that way too it makes me want to scream. emotions are fucking messy and they can be really ugly and they can make you hate yourself and there's no way Percy's feelings aren't a mess when it comes to this and i want to see it explored so badly!

and with Sally too! her feelings about Percy because she did so much and tried her best but sometimes unfortunately your best isn't good enough and it still got her beloved son hurt and she hates it and feels so guilty but she just has to live with that but she can't help to wish it was different. that their lives would be different. better. normal. she can't help but to wish she didn't have to do the things she's done, didn't have to suffer so much just to protect her child. can't help to wish she didn't have to worry so much, didn't have to be so scared about Percy, didn't have to be terrified that one day he won't come back home to her, that she won't be able to hold her son anymore because he will be gone, she just wishes he didn't have to suffer so much, she just wishes and wishes and wishes

and i just wish people weren't so afraid to explore this because it's so heartwrenching and yes if you want something do it yourself but unfortunately i cannot write nor am i able to handle this topic in a way it deserves so i am left only with rambling about it on here thank you

It is so ridiculous that toichiro decided that a LITERAL MIDDLE SCHOOLER was his worst enemy. DUDE. GET A GRIP OH MY GOD

[miz-orque]

EXCUSE ME???

Do people not have any relevant or interesting thought about Sundowner?

An interesting fact about Sundowner is that he basically lived a normal life until he realised he was too poor to go to college so joined the army and fell in love with the violence. How about we explore that instead

I can’t believe I have to say this again.

But like.

Do not leave comments that bash on the actual show whilst ‘complimenting’ my fanworks. It does not make me happy at all IN FACT I really HATE it when people do that. 

I create stuff for this fandom because I adore the show with all its flaws and everything. I grew up with the show and I adore the characters so much. So when I receive comments or tags saying stuff like “Ugh if only the writers knew how to write like that” or “You should be in charge of canon cos canon is shit lol”, it just fucks up my mood and it makes me feel grossed out. 

There are millions of things out there to write or say to other people about their work without having to bring down canon and what the actual professionals have worked on.

Keep your gripes about the show off my work.

The most ridiculous thing in Wandee Goodday is that they make a big deal out of the whole fake-boyfriends situation, but the only time Yoryak and Wandee actually pretended anything was when they played up in front of the hospital staff, and only slightly because it wasn't far off from how they already behave normally.

I mean, calling to check up on one another, saying they miss each other, cooking meals and watching movies together, feeling jealous of potential rivals and steadily finding their way into each others lives, yeah, totally just pretending to be boyfriends, nothing real there lol.
