#vibes were confusing!!!

[captainlexapro]

Journey towards blue eventually playing hockey update #1:

Went to my first day of learn to skate. Disclaimer: I’m not a true beginner - i’ve been ice skating a handful of times over the years and i’ve recently been trying to learn quad roller skating. And i’m a pretty athletic individual, so learning physical movements is often not quite as hard for me compared to other ppl. I also went to public skate at the rink a few days ago to be on the ice and see how much of roller translated (I’d say a fair amount). I took a video to record my progress and wow my ankles were caving in so bad 💀 I did wipe out once but upon reflection the rental skates i had being waayyy too big for me probably contributed to that. But also i’m learning and hadn’t been on the ice in at least 3-4 years.

Get a smaller rental skate size. It feels better. Think about how i want to get my own hockey skates. I forget to put on my gloves before going on the ice.

The vibe for LTS was… strange. To me, at least. This session was advertised as adults only. and it’s listed as the first session. I get there and there are kids everywhere and i have no idea where i’m supposed to be. Is anyone going to explain wtf is going on?? Why does it feel like this is definitely NOT the first session for ANYONE ELSE??? Did i miss a day?? 😵‍💫😵‍💫 why do so many ppl have their own figure skates and the little accessories? this is not good for me worrying about sticking out like a sore thumb. why are there children everywhere and a thousand other people also on the ice? i thought we’d have a small group of adults on the rink 🙃

Get directed to the adult group. I can tell right away i’m more comfortable on skates than two of the others. One person has clearly been figure skating for at least a little while.

We do simple movements. Learned what a swizzle is. Can’t go backwards without intense concentration. Also our leader is probably a 15 year old (who did well enough as a ‘teacher’!). But there is no like set progression to follow…like it’s just ‘hey let’s do this now’. ‘Okay now this’. ‘Now let’s do that other thing again.’ Can’t help thinking this would be disastrous if i’d never stepped on ice before. Entry level who?!? Technique who?!? We do learn to stop which is helpful since i didn’t know how.

A different leader comes over to have me and the obviously-can-figure-skate person to “test out” of level 1. I can barely go backwards and REALLY can’t go backwards on one foot. I am now directed to level 3 (🫨😧 ok but i saw the level 3 people at the beginning and i definitely can’t do a lot of that!!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!)

Now my leader is an older eastern european man (and i do not have the thick skin to withstand his potential disappointment 😓). They are doing veryyyy slow spins similar to what i did when i messed around a few days ago. I did one and leader man says wow and asks me if i’ve skated before!!! Yay!!! I have impressed skating coach!! But now i have set the bar too high and will inevitably disappoint him 🫠

I can’t really hear him when he’s describing movements bc of how many ppl are here. so i’m watching his skates intently 😦 and hoping for the best. Still not really focusing on technique and jumping from one move to another…what is happening. Where is the learning part of learn to skate?

Class is over. I leave. I don’t know if i should get hockey skates yet. Or if i do, i am scared to wear them to LTS bc i don’t think skating coach man would want me to be wearing them since we did movements that are only possible with a toe pick. And i feel like he’s maybe anti-hockey. Or at least very strongly team figure skating.

So overall this was not horrible but also not great. I wanted some actual structure but i’m grateful i’m not a complete newbie (though that is a failing on the LTS program if i observed that). It felt chaotic and i’m worried it’s gonna be like that every week. Depending on how it goes i’m afraid i will have not needed to do this and been better off on my own. We’ll see.

Me: hey brain, can we think normal things tonight?

Brain: PALEONTOLOGIST!DEAN FINDS AN ANGEL THAT GOT BURIED DURING THE EXTINCTION OF THE DINOSAURS.

Me: *quietly* ...what the fuck

Brain: Dean is working on an excavation in a cave system when he uncovers this. fcking HUMAN BEING WITH *WINGS* AND *TOO MANY EYES*. PRESERVED IN ROCK IN THE SAME STRATA AS THE DINOSAURS. And ofc Dean is really freaked out and scared of this thing, but then he notices that the figure is curled forward over something, and as he looks closer he sees the skeletons of a nest of baby raptors that the "human" figure was holding tight to its chest, like it was trying to shield them from something. And he realizes that this... Thing... died protecting them.

Except the "human" figure isnt a skeleton, its preserved fully in the rock. Or perhaps...

still thinking about those promo pics where they locked the tops and bottoms in separate rooms

Sorry ive been so inactive recently, I have a life that I needed to get back to for a bit! I am returning with a new hyperfixation (i am seven years late)

I drew me and my friend’s favorite characters in a silly artstyle!! We are going through the game together and we are almost done with Chapter Four (i am so scared) (ignore how tiny Rantaro’s head is) (i rant in the tags beware)

Just remembered that Will sat on the icebox in the van for the 30 hr ride back to Hawkins

Y'know what, yet another de-aged Danny idea where he falls into another world. But Clockwork sends Fright Knight to go watch over him to stop something bad from happening. The heroes of said world were not prepared, at all.

[july-19th-club]

seven or eight times now ive watched the episodes in which they take the andromache and this is the first time ive realized that during the initial battle, after they board, every time the camera is from dufresne's perspective it's blurrier than otherwise because. he took his glasses off for the fight

[lesbianwyllravengard]

I feel like ppl saying they think Wyll realistically had to have some sex before the game both underestimate his romantic determination and underestimate how difficult it is to have sex in general especially if you're travelling constantly and don't have your own place. Like this is one thing that I don't think has a correct interpretation but if you're gonna say outright that realistically he had to have done something sexual I'm gonna hard disagree with you there lol. It's just as likely he's had absolutely no intimate contact past kissing his entire life

[ghostprincessworld]

Headcanon that at some point, when they are like 27/28 Gauntwood goes on like a 1 month "vacation" without any of the staff. It will be nice to be truly alone together. They rent a cabin that is a bit isolated, not to far form markets and such.

However, they forgot to account for the fact that they don't know how to take care of themselves:

Day 1&2

Going alright, they brought a few meals with them. 

they are free to love each other openly in this private place, this place is beautiful and they love it!

except when they go to bed, they note that the bed had not been made that morning. This is never properly resolved. There are a few attempts to make it, but they resign themselves to a poorly made (mostly an unmade) bed

Day 3

Prepared meals are gone. they go to the market, They have a fun time.

Sidney has no doubts they can figure it out, Henry is like, "Have you ever cooked a chicken before?"Well, no, but I used to watch my mum do it when I was a kid," Henry has absolute faith in his husband because he's an idiot 

“So we just put it in the oven? The chicken and the veggies?" "Yeah that's how my mum did it!" (They are making roast potatoes, carrots, and chicken)

they didn't use any seasonings, butter, or oil, the chicken is overcooked, so dry and plain. The potatoes and carrots are too hard and burnt at the same time. 

"Sidney, I love you, but this is disgusting."

“No, you're right. If you stop loving me, I'll understand." 

they end up picking through it just eating the least inedible parts it's not a lot, and they eat a lot packaged snacks that night

Day 5 

Henry has a brilliant (terrible) idea, he's going to make them breakfast, eggs, and lamb sausage.

Sidney comes into the kitchen when there is smoke everywhere

they put out the smoke, and the (unseasoned) eggs are burnt to the pan.

"WHAT is going on!!!" "I was uhh... making breakfast..."Why did you cook it so long?" "Excuse me, I didn't want us to get salmonella!"

For dinner, they plan to make pasta. Together, this is going to be a team effort. Henry immediately puts the dry noodles in a pot and no water, Sidney stops him.

They call Maud, and she laughs at her useless brother and his husband but agrees to help

"Okay now you'll wanna add any veggies to the sauce" "veggies...?i didn't get any" "okay skip that, just add your seasonings" "seasonings?" "Okay... it gonna be a bit plain"

"Why are all noodles sticking together weird?" "Did you salt the water like I said?" "Oh..."

S: what if we heat the water up twice as hot , then we can cook the noodles half the time 

H: No, it will probably burn them

M: idiots you can't heat water past boiling

Pasta is plain, but edible

Other cooking mishaps:

Pasta take 2: no veggies again, goes way to hard on the seasonings, add like every single one, there is cinnamon in the pasta

Henry makes eggs(unseasoned) bacon and toast (only a little burnt)

"Henry, I love you so much, and this is so sweet, but I don't eat pork"

"Oh god! I knew that! The butcher was just looking at me, and I panicked. " Henry is about to cry

Sidney spends way too long slicing (mutilating) a loaf of bread with a meat knife

Cleaning

By day 3 all of their clothes are wrinkled because they don't know how to iron and they didn't pack them well

It fine they are mostly being seen by just each other, but it makes them feel icky

At the market a woman is looking at henry, and he get insecure and just tells her unprompted that his wife is too sick to iron

By 2 weeks in they have no clean clothes

S: What if we just sent it all to the dry cleaner

H: You wanna send our underwear to the dry cleaners? No we are supposed to be learning this, we are living a simple life

S: What if we were just naked from now on

Back on the phone with Maud, they learn how to wash clothes. They have pasta stained clothes they can't fix. Clothes are wearable again, still wrinkly :(

They wash no dishes for the first 4 days, it's a terrible mess. It takes 15 min to scrub the burnt pan because they didn't realise they can soak the bad dishes

The whole place is a bit dusty by the end

Fun stuff

There is a lake on the property and they go skinny dipping

They fish (and successfully cook it over a fire)

Stargaze: “hey did you that constellation [insert greek info dump]” nerd

Ellwood convinces Gaunt to dance with him

They play card games

They get to be domestic without any prying eyes

Overall, they had a great time! They picked up some novice-level skills along the way and, despite the chaos, they’d be willing to try this again in the future (and they do). When they get back they are this close to kissing Luis on the mouth.

Tonight's Vibes

Anathema-verse: every time Alice sees Jasper, she gives him a hug. And every single time, he jumps a little because being casually touched is still unexpected, especially with affection. Alice notices but never says anything.

[c-kiddo]

and i thought james somerton just made annoying and mostly very boring stilted videos with questionable takes sometimes

[empress-of-snark]

maybe I’m wrong

won’t you tell me if I’m coming on too strong?

this heart of mine has been hurt before

this time I want to be sure
