#we balance each other out well

[underwhelmingalchemist]

On today's episode of auDHD boygirlfriend and autistic girlfriend, my girlfriend walked into our room, paused for a long second, and then asked me why the room was flashing rainbow. I just replied that it felt like the correct way to listen to nightcore, which she accepted as an explanation. She would, a couple minutes later, admit that she didn't initially register the rainbow strobe lights. Instead, she just knew that something had changed, and it took her a moment to realize that that thing was the brightly flashing rainbow lights she was standing in

Things I make for myself when insomnia kicks in

Just a chart about what I wanna change up and keep consistent in my art - I mainly wanna draw Raph with a tail because he deserves one, it fits too well. Donnie gets a long tail too because I didn’t realize how dino-like he looks until I gave him one, and now it’s a must for me haha.

I think what we can gather from this gritho team up (finally) is that they are essentially efficient and coordinated chaos

i think the best ship is the girl who's always trying to get stuff done and complete her mission and the guy who helps her know when to take a break and have fun and not crack under the stress of it all.

it's been a strange arc so far

when I was 19-21 and having an extremely imbalanced relationship with someone in their mid 30s I was like 'we are both adults so the fact that this is fucking me up is my fault'

when I hit my late 20s and saw how young people in their late teens and early 20s seem now I was like 'oh wait I was so fucking young I didn't know shit about my own limits or about managing relationships and I don't know why someone in their mid to late 30s would be into that except for nefarious purposes'

the weird bit is now I'm into my 30s - not even that far into my 30s - and while I still wholeheartedly believe that last thing about how young (and self destructive) 20 year olds are, I'm also kind of like 'huh, actually nobody I know that age has their shit remotely together and frankly the reason this fucked me up is because NEITHER of us knew what the fuck we were doing it how to cope, for different reasons and at different life stages, and there probably wasn't any malice or intent to control as much as there was Blind Flailing.'

Shoutout to my Monkees mutuals for reminding me about the Monkees and their music; now I'm thinking about how She is such a season 2 Damon talking about Katherine song.

Meanwhile, 1864 Damon is of course firmly Vampire Girl by the Misfits (he would die for her, and he did).

I'm crying about trees again, this time for a slightly different reason (yippee ;-;) You're gonna have to stick with me for this one I gotta give you context. (This is Yiga Clan related trust me)

The Hinoki Cypress is a species of tree known for very sturdy wood with a very straight grain and lovely coloring, and it's the kind of tree a lot of temples in Japan are made out of for these reasons.

The reason that this kind of tree is so strong is because they take a very long time to grow. Most mature trees of this kind are hundreds of years old. This makes the rings on these trees very compact, giving denser wood, making it tougher.

Unfortunately, due to overlogging and the popularity of the wood as a building material, these trees are much less numerous now than they were hundreds of years ago. And we can't just plant them anywhere to restore the old growth that once was. (For obvious reasons but there's more) These trees depend on the old growth in order to grow from seed because they prefer soil that consistently drains and then gets rained on regularly. This makes them dependent on old growth because the extremely old cypress that fall over create the perfect environment for the next generation to grow. New trees will grow in the bark of the old, so it's not hard to find groups of these trees growing in a straight line where an old tree fell.

Which finally brings me to my analogy.

It's one of my headcannons that Master Kohga is basically immortal. If not, he definitely ages much slower than a Hylian. Like these old growth cypress trees, he probably grew up in an environment where he was able to receive support from true Shiekah elders.

And then... the Shiekah's bloody history. Used to build up the kingdom of Hyrule and the royal lineage of Hylia. In order to protect the superiority of the kingdom, it wasn't enough to just leave them be, the Shiekah were made to be an enemy, outcasts. Many of the elders carrying the history of the Shiekah, along with anyone else who dared fight back, were felled. Another sacrifice to build Hyrule's bloody history.

Remnants of those old cypress forests exist today, in a few places. Only about 3 of the original old growth forests are around today, (if I remember correctly) and their numbers continue to decline slowly.

The last factions of the Ancient Shiekah remain, held together by their leaders. Master Kohga and Lady Impa. Most of the people they knew growing up are gone. Everyone they know now is practically youthful, only being alive for less than 100 years. The last elders left to cultivate the next generation. And that generation will likely survive continuing on the same path they fall on.

The Hinoki Cypress is going to haunt this narrative because to me it is such a powerful symbol of the Shiekah and the Yiga, their history, how they've been used by the Kingdom of Hyrule.

And I'm crying about trees again.

I downloaded the sims 2 ultimate edition from that google docs tutorial and everything went great!! And then I downloaded a bunch of mods and fucking. Broke everything. And even after deleting them I couldn't get the mods that came with it to work? So I uninstalled and am reinstalling to see if that fixes it :(

I think what I love about Flirty Robots is the more playful dynamic between Pidge and Lance. They genuinely banter and while they can bicker it never feels hostile.

Keith and Lance’s relationship often felt a lot more actively antagonistic than any of the other inter-Paladin relationships.

Lance’s wannabe Casanova persona has tons of potential with sassy science gremlin Pidge.

There’s also the fact that Lance seems willing to follow Pidge on whatever crazy adventure she wants to go on. Like in episode 1, when they see Shiro’s escape crash land, Pidge immediately run after it and Lance is right behind her.

Or when they’re at the space mall wher Pidge and Lance work together to get that retro gaming console.

Both are also very family oriented.

Then there’s the potential for angst between homesick Lance and the ever searching Pidge. Both desperately miss their families and want nothing more than to be reunited with them, but one is pulled towards Earth and the other is pulled away.

And this heading a bit into headcanon territory, but I feel like both use their respective outward personas to the mask their inner pain.

Lance is always flirting and acting like a goofball to cheer both himself and others up and to keep him distracted from thoughts of home, while Pidge throws herself into her work to not let the possibility of both Matt and her dad being dead sink in.

This is a not a comprehensive list of many reasons I ship Flirty Robots, but I hope you can start to see why I like it.

OHOOO SOO TRUE ACTUALLY. the way that they're opposites but also so so so similar........I can See It
