#walks in the park are important

[biffhofosho]

I hope you're ready for Kiki spam. I wasn't. I literally almost died of dehydration going through my folder. And yet, it is still SO hard to limit yourself to less than 200 pics. >.< ARE WE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE WITH HOW PERILOUS THE LIFE OF A MBB IS???

This interview confirmed

The point of the wilds era games is showcasing mechanics, the 'core' of both games was to build and walk around

There will be no DLC

There will not be another direct sequel

The ultrahand will not continue in future games

The timeline is intentionally unclear to make the game accessible for new fans and the development process (tl;dr All Zelda games are intentionally AUs to a degree)

The producer and director both deny intentional references to prior games in the story, but then say that these similarities represent the soul of the series and the overall myth of The Legend of Zelda (pick a lane)?

The timeline doesn't matter, outside of specific sets of games it's irrelevant on purpose. Whatever you think about the timeline is correct. Continuity is not the point. Maintaining the form while creating something new is the point.

Fujibayashi really only cares about mechanics and Aunoma is totally cool with that

I am going fucking insane do they make drivers ed intentionally brain melting??

Everytime i hear this mans voice i feel like im watching honey crystalize or paint dry or cheese Very Slowly grow moldy

We need more (read: any) fanfics about what Hiei was doing with his time while he was confined to Human World. Like, canonically we know he was sleeping in trees, but what about other stuff? What the hell was he doing all day?

What the food pantry on campus does:

- gives me snacks and drinks to supplement my regular groceries, breakfast stuff, maybe ingredients for 1-2 actual meals

What the food pantry is really bad at doing:

- giving me food I can make into proper meals for the week

Oh you want juice? Here’s 2 little juice boxes. Nothing else; they’re limited. You want pasta sauce? 1 can; limited. You want produce? 2 produce item limit, except for the apples which are starting to spoil. You can have all of those. You want frozen chicken? One container only. Oh, they’re all stuck together and frozen? Sorry, you can’t have two; no chicken, I guess. Pasta? One box only. Rice? Two small bags, max. Breakfast bars? Yeahhhh, those are a snack, and you can only have five snacks, total. But if you put those pop tarts back, you could have some! Oh, you want donuts instead? Sure! But that’s a bakery item, and you can only have one baked good, so you’re gonna need to put that bread back. You want ziploc bags? Here, have two. Not two boxes, two bags. Item limits. Sorry. You can come back next week!

How the fuck are people supposed to actually *use* these things for weekly meal planning if there’s not enough to last a week???

I swear I am grateful for these resources I’m sure they’re doing the best they can with what they have I’m just *frustrated*. I’m trying to spend less on groceries bc I can’t really afford them. It’s nice that the food pantry gives me these small portions to last me a couple days. But that still leaves several days with not enough food unless I’m really creative or go grocery shopping, and I simply do not have the energy or time to be really creative.

crazy but true: the easiest way to make friends is to fucking lie

[chartreuxcatz]

Planning trips to see internet friends would be so much easier if we could be in the same room looking at the same computer while we figure out what hotel to stay at

I love the museum scene from ferris bueller so much not only cause its just great but also cause like everytime i see it i see myself and think about how special that kind of moment is

[entamewitchlulu]

man ok i went on google maps to virtually walk around in my childhood park district, and while i can't go into the wooded trails or anything and can only see all those big open spaces with the playground from the road view, it's still so like...wild to me to look it over. Like I don't miss my hometown. I'm glad my family moved away when it did, because while I had a decently good childhood, I really did get the sense that if I had stayed there, I wouldn't like the person I'd grow up to be. I definitely felt like I would have atrophied in that town.

But that park, man. It meant so much to me. I was so lucky, living right across the street from it, being able to just mosey on over and spend hours every day, no matter the weather, roving down to the playground, walking around the old skate park, exploring through the woods with all its thin, winding trails, climbing up the old rickety sled slide, finding all those big, undeveloped field areas surrounding the whole area. It left such a mark on me. Even nowadays, I'd say about 50% of my dreams take place in that park, or some element of it.

And it makes me sad, because I feel like so many kids don't get that, especially nowadays. When I was 10+, I could just walk out my door and disappear for hours, and my parents didn't mind. I'd be all by myself in the middle of the woods, finding sticks and rocks and singing songs to myself and looking for cool spring flowers, or biking all the way down to the baseball fields and back. It was such a huge privilege to be able to be a part of the world like that, and nowadays I feel like even if you have a park like that available to you, kids don't get to just walk outside and run around by themselves anymore. They always need parental supervision, and when parents are working all the time, they don't have the time to do that, so kids just stay home, because parents don't trust their kids or the world. It's so upsetting to me.

Being able to spend so much of my childhood outside in nature was so fucking formative, and I just want everyone to have that option.

Also, I miss having all that time to spend in the woods. Adults need that outdoor roving time too and we just don't give it to them.

Lady Bertram is Just Lazy

From about the time of her entering the family, Lady Bertram, in consequence of a little ill-health, and a great deal of indolence, gave up the house in town, which she had been used to occupy every spring, and remained wholly in the country (Ch 2)

There was one read through of Mansfield Park where my only goal was to figure out Lady Bertram. Why is she like this? It seemed inexplicable. Maybe as implied by 1999 MP she’s on drugs, maybe she has a chronic illness? But her character seemed so strange to me. She doesn’t seem to even want to think for herself.

Then I started reading AITA and other posts on Reddit and everything became clear.

There are people, I am convinced, in this world even today who really have very low motivation and would be perfectly happy doing almost nothing. Unfortunately for them, they aren’t extremely wealthy. Lady Bertram, as far as I can tell, is living her best life. She wants nothing more than a little gossip, a little help with her sewing, and her Pug.

This is very much affirmed by the description of Mrs. Price, her sister: 

Of her two sisters, Mrs. Price very much more resembled Lady Bertram than Mrs. Norris. She was a manager by necessity, without any of Mrs. Norris’s inclination for it, or any of her activity. Her disposition was naturally easy and indolent, like Lady Bertram’s; and a situation of similar affluence and do-nothingness would have been much more suited to her capacity than the exertions and self-denials of the one which her imprudent marriage had placed her in. She might have made just as good a woman of consequence as Lady Bertram, but Mrs. Norris would have been a more respectable mother of nine children on a small income.

Never in the entire novel do we see Lady Bertram ill, except when she’s overcome by Tom’s illness. What we do see is her concern about her own comfort. “Sure we can take in Fanny, as long as she doesn’t bother my Pug.” “I don’t know if Fanny can go to dinner, what if I need her?” She’s selfish and lazy, she is overly concerned with her own comfort. She’s indolent, not sick.
