I'm not getting into The Giving Tree discourse...
#personal#delete later#idk i just saw a post of the “alternate ending” comic on my dash and everyone praising it as an improvement and “fixing” the original#which i kinda resent#while tulli and i was taking my nephew to a book store we walked around the kids section and found the giving tree and we read through it#and i was so stricken by how profoundly sad it is. it's not a happy story#in the end both versions tell the exact same lesson. but one flat out tells you and the other makes you sit with a pit in your stomach#and work to find the answer#i dunno it's kids literature but kids literature is important. i don't wanna discredit anyone's bad memories with the book but also i think#sometimes it's ok to make kids a bit sad and upset with fiction.#tweet that goes “what if romeo and juliet didn't kill themselves and explained to the audience that family feuds are bad”#idk you can't seriously read the original book as an adult and say it's glorifying self-martyrdom#when the final drawing of the book is of an old tired man sitting on arotting stump with his hat fallen to the ground#again i don't wanna invalidate people's feelings if they enjoy the alt version i think it's really nice too. but the original has its#purpose too. imagine if at the end of the lorax they show that the boy did it and replanted the world happy ending#wait they did that in the movie shit#i dunno i just love somber children's literature. tulli and i are talking about moomin right now and how the series ends with the moomin#family just leaving. and nobody gets to say goodbye to them. their friends have to find ways to live with the emptiness they've left behin

hiiiiii everyone i'm just popping in to say that i probably won't be online much for a bit, meaning the queue will go on as always but i can't really answer asks much :( will be back on track as soon as i can!
#life is kind of a nightmare rn so idk even when it's quiet at work and i technically have time i just can't bring myself to answer asks#we found out my little beloved baby senior dog has extreme kidney failure like pretty much as bad as possible without being dead#and it's impossible to say how long but he has anywhere from days to months to live it's really not looking good#he's 11 but his breed usually live till 13-16 so we were really expecting a couple more years with him#it's really hard because knowing he will die soon is making me want to do all kinds of things with him like take him to the beach but he's-#too fragile and it's too late and it breaks my fucking heart i can't tell you how hard it is to know he won't even make it to summer#it's so fucked i don't know what else to say like we're watching him like a fucking hawk to make sure we put him down in time to avoid-#suffering idk it's just fucked i don't know what to tell you#if you have a dog take them to a spot they haven't been before like a beach or woods or a park they love new smells and all that shit#phew sorry for the vent i just dont know how to act normal when my little baby will never see a beach again i hope the whole world explodes#cw pet death#cw pet loss#pet loss#pet loss cw#tw pet death#tw pet loss#cw pet illness#me.txt#non figure

i think it is very telling 911 dropped the deleted scene between eddie and chris about shannon. even more telling, i think, is eddie's response to chris asking about her. 'did you ever get over mom?' eddie: 'well your mom wasn't my first girlfriend.' then eddie launches into the story of how they met, but we never revisit the fact he did not answer christopher's question. did eddie ever get over shannon? i see season 7 as an in depth look at both christopher and eddie's issues surrounding shannon. we see christopher's addressed at the first part of the season with the talks with buck as well as the letter eddie gives him. but then, the latter half of the season, we get the deleted scene and the whole kim fiasco. it's like shannon is truly the reason for the wedge between chris and eddie. christopher is struggling with feeling like she abandoned them, and instead of eddie bring up his own struggles, he avoids and tries to focus on chris instead. Then at the end of the season, we come to a head where christopher leaves and eddie is left to clean up the aftermath. shannon's ghost (kim) literally came between them. yes, eddie needs to confront his parents, but equally important in my eyes, he needs to process shannon. every romantic relationship has had to compete with shannon's ghost so far. so before eddie can settle with his endgame, he needs to let her go. and in order to reconcile with his son, they need to do that together. what better place to say goodbye than the first place they said hello?
#eddie diaz#christopher diaz#shannon diaz#my grandpa lost my grandma at 36. never got over her. remarried but had a horrible second marriage because he never let her go#literally her social security card lived in his wallet. we found it after he died.... my grandma was the love his life....#eddie thinks shannon is the love of his life too. that's what he told kim. i think so.#she asked for the divorce and then died. and he has been stuck in this loop he can't get out of.#an identity crisis. a widower who should be a divorcee. shannon couldn't be a wife and a mother. so she had to choose.#can eddie be a father and a husband? time for him to find out#(the answer is yes he just doesn't know it yet)#911 abc

I had a scrap piece of paper and drew the little freakish dog 👍 I have been silently enjoying your art for like a couple months now? I found it randomly on uploaded Pinterest and was like “oh huh that’s rad” and yeah he’s such a lovely sad little beast
.
#oooh another tiny machete sighting!#I don't know but I find it just so endearing that people are out there doodling his weird little face#on post it notes corners of scrap paper and at work#I do that too but then again I'm rotating him in my head at least fifteen times a day so I kind of have to#the WHISKERS ah#scruffy little animal#putting him in my pocket and taking him to the grocery shop as we speak#thank you! and I'm glad you've been enjoying my art!#I've always had a little difficult relationship with pinterest because a lot of art gets uploaded there without proper sources or credit#and whenever a piece of yours gets reposted sourcelessly often enough you kind of end up losing ownership to it which isn't fun#it gets used without artist's consent as bootleg prints and shirts and tattoos and such#but lately a lot of people have come to me saying they discovered my stuff through pinterest#or had seen my character there and recognized it later when they came across one of my own posts#and it's always very nice to hear that I'm glad you've found me here#but I'm getting very off topic didn't mean to ramble like that#gift art#answered#wwildcatt#own characters#Machete

Hi team! I'm the anon that asked for bears in casinos. Thank you for the pictures, I liked them very much. :D
If it's okay, I would like to see more bears in places they shouldn't be in. How about... bears in churches (or temples, or mosques, any place where people gather around for religious reasons).
Once again, no pressure to answer—and thank you for your service!
*cracks knuckles* here ya go friend
youtube
#we found this just sitting already answered in our drafts#might as well bring it out to see the light of tumblr blue#lest it be forever swallowed and bearried by the hundreds and hundreds of other posts in our drafs#ask

#incredible timing because i had a dream tonight about her... that i cuddled her again 🥺#i swear my dreams are influenced by people thinking about me#it has happened to me so many times#once i had a dream about a friend from primary school when we hadn't had contact for 8 years#and i wake up to find out she found me on facebook and messaged me#you just can't make that up#answered#meow <3

I hope the protoframes remain relevant even after this story arc for the Drifter concludes, but I also recognize how complicated things would get with how many characters they could keep trying to make stay relevant, leading to a Konoha 13 Naruto type situation where we have too many relevant characters from Umbra & Ordis all the way to Kaya Velasco.
.
#warframe confession#warframe#warframe 1999#guessing you’re the previous anon and so yeah you meant like big picture story then mmm yeah I agree but I also see the counter point too#that you provided because like yeah once you start getting so many relevant characters it can be constricting a bit I would imagine#but I also agree I don’t want the hex syndicate members to be left in their own little time pocket bubble like the holdfasts#I don’t want them to be left behind only ‘relevant’ via optional skins you can farm and/or buy#for those who don’t get it from context the konoha 13 was a bunch of really good naruto characters and they all had interesting kits#and stories but the mangaka struggled to keep making them all stay relevant even though they were in part 1 of the series#it’s a whole thing but basically it’s like stretching yourself thin writing wise with too many main characters#I still wish Excalibur Umbra had more story than just that one quest though ngl#that’s a tricky part of Warframe is I’m always thinking I wish these characters got more screen time & story lore for them#yet I also want there to be consequences to the actions we do or the routes we choose in the KIM system and the quests#I want it to actually affect the narrative in game like with the shadow and light alignment introduced many years back#does drinking the kuva matter or not? does that choice affect anything? I want to know! xD#but I also understand all of these things cost money to make and program and write into an engaging experience and know this is a super#complicated subject that has a lot of nuance of whatever the word is to it#but yeah I too don’t want the protoframes to get left behind by the narrative and I imagine we aren’t the only ones who feel that way#you give us such compelling and interesting characters and then just expect us to move on? that’s not gonna probably go over well even if#the next arc is let’s go to the tau system! like... okay yay I’m hyped but what about Flare Kaya Velemir and the Hex???#if the answer is just ‘oh we’re completely done with them forever like no possible future arcs or story at all’ I’m going to be immensely#and severely disappointed in the lack of creativity that would feel like as an answer#if it really is a ‘yes and’ kind of story model then we shouldn’t write off a back to the future type story with the protos#why do we have to stay confined to the loop? could the operator pull us all out of 1999? who would consent to that and why or why not?#I have a lot of ideas and thoughts about this subject#putting these tags out of order since I know I went over the 20 tag system search results thing with my ramblings about this topic#Like on one hand I get don’t stretch yourself thin with too many main characters but also THIS IS THE MAIN CHARACTER’S FOUND FAMILY#mod rose

kitchen table polyamory......... sighs longingly and writes little hearts in a journal
#skylar talks#i haven't exactly talked much about being polyamorous here so i am sorry if this is how you find out#i found out this term recently-ish and it's been stuck in my brain#kinda answers a lot of the questions i had about my relation to polyamory#and means that i get to see experiences of those who have/are experiencing it so i can see what it may look like for me#like. granted. it's still just jess and i rn. we haven't exactly had great luck finding otherwise compatible people.#it's been like 2 years since we started trying out polyamory and it still hasn't quite gone very far BUT#someday... ough

WAIT. One more thing. I loved that the crux of the crime, the crux of the whole investigation, hinged on two sets of siblings who refused to give up on their sibling.
#ewbie.txt#ewbie plays aa#finding out Jake spent years looking for clues and answers and the chance he got he acted out#and then Lana willing to stab a body just for her sister to never be found out#the way it’s mirrored between older and younger siblings#jake was left behind just like ema was but it was so different . he lost his brother and so did ema. but she got hers back in the end .#MAN.#guys we need to die.

.....OK so what the fuck was that.
#arcane#arcane spoilers#i have. so many questions. the ending felt weak. not bad but literally just incomplete#also how did so many actual playable characters die lmao#AND WHERE IS HEIMERDINGER WHERE DID HE EVEN GO. WE NEVER FOUND OUT.#the au episode tho <3333 best thing to happen ever#AND WE GOT CAITVI SEX. GOOD.#also SEVIKA LIVED AND BECAME A MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL WEEEEEE#other than that.... everything was gorgeous and i also finally get the jayvik appeal#SILCO AND VANDER CANON MARRIED BTW#but also... yeah. idk. it gave us more questions than answers. i did not like that vibe.

An interview with Heloïse Bourdon and Mathieu Ganio on all things Mayerling.
#ballet#ballerina#danseur#etoile#paris opera ballet#mayerling#heloise bourdon#mathieu ganio#interview#some stupid questions#some predictable#some unimaginative#but still many great and in depth answers#also not me nodding the whole time Mathieu was speaking about Rudolf and his character#because hell yes you got him so right!#also if his smile alone could make flowers bloom#their smiles combined rival the power of a nuclear power plant#also also we can never thank enough for Dana Fouras and her impact on POB Mayerling 2024#I always find issues with questions from the public#it’s this second hand embaressement that is gripping me the whole time#even though the question themselves turn out to be perfectly all right and clever#there is still the possibility of someone asking#how come you are SO brilliant#which regarding Mathieu as Rudolf yes understandable#and it gave us a blushing Mathieu so thank you for tha I guess#but ffs what kind of question is that?!#just tell him you have found him génial in the role and then ask a question like a normal person#at the same time if he were looking at me directly and gave his radioactive smile#I wouldn’t really be coherent in any human language ever#how very teenage fangirl of my ancient self

I wish I could relate to Navidson but I can’t which makes me angry so I get pissed off at him instead.
#I’m in the appendix sections now. I kind of wish that book could go on for ever but am glad it stopped before I started measuring my own wa#ls.#I love more than words that he never wrote Thumpers real name in when he found it out & when she said she was getting her tattoos removed I#almost started crying like a kid#Not because I give a shit about her tattoos but I was seized by the knowledge at that moment — and I don’t know if this is true#it’s probably not; it’s probably bullshit — that she was feeling the exact same thing as he was the entire time and never took the necklace#off because she was mythologising him the way he was mythologising her and we were this close to figuring it out in time but we were also m#les and miles away. And also ‘in time’ is a fallacy. It was always always too late#But the idea just for a second that she only got all those tattoos to be in the same room as him as he made needle clusters and think about#talking to him and most of the time just going home instead. They felt the exact same thing.#And then the moment passed and I thought it was dumb to be crying about it so I stopped. It reminds me of that bit in whatever stage show t#at was where this dudes entire conflict is due to his wife not answering the phone and he catastrophises this and at the very end she picks#up; and says she’d been trying to get through to him the entire time and the phones were down.#house of leaves#currently reading

#currently on the worst road trip of my whole entire life! well. i don't want to jinx it lmao but#today i popped TWO TIRES at once in the middle of the Katy Freeway in Houston TX (the widest highway in the US; 26 lanes btw)#managed to make it over to the shoulder without DYING but then had to sit there for like an hour? and panic called a tow truck because duh#I know how to change a tire but I was – again – sitting on the shoulder of the widest freeway on the continent so#anyway I called a tow; a guy showed up. I assumed it was the tow! turned out it was not. but he helped me put on the spare and then was lik#“follow me to my shop I can do the tires for you” and I was like okay! 👍 but then the ACTUAL tow called me and I realized this was#just a random guy (very nice up to that point but then I got scared about following him to a secondary location?) and so I didn't lmao#I just kept driving and didn't follow him but the guy on the phone was then mad at me because I wasn't where I said I would be because#AGAIN – I thought the original guy WAS the tow company that I called? but anyway guy 2 on the phone was like “YOU OWE ME $200!!!!”#and I said for what? also how would I pay you? and he tried to get me to cash app him lmao?? I didn't. I hung up on him#he called me like 6 more times yelling at me until I finally just blocked his number 💀#however NOW at this point I'm driving on one spare tire and one rapidly-flattening second tire and I still have 3 hours left to get where#I was going for the night and to top it all off I'm in the middle of a city I've only been to one time before? so I manage to get to a hote#like a nice-ish one where I'm like “okay if I get stuck here this won't be the end of the world”#because keep in mind today is a national holiday so basically everything is closed!!!! btw!!!!!#but eventually I'm sitting there and it's literally 100F outside and I remember oh right lol I have car insurance which pays for a tow#(a normal one; not a random one I panic-found on google who calls me screaming at me to cash app him $200)#so anyway I call my insurance and the guy on the phone is very nice and is like “it's okay; we'll have someone to you in 45 min”#and I'm like okay. OKAY. 🙌💪 I am a strong independent woman who is figuring this out and no longer on the side of the highway#but instead in a nice calm neighborhood and all I have to do is wait 45 min and everything will be okay#one hour goes by. I call back. get redirected to the tow company that was dispatched. guy says oh! is my guy not there yet?#I say no. he says okay – I'll have him call you. hangs up.#okay. 20 more min go by. guy finally calls me. says “I'm 20-25 min away” at this point I've been waiting about an hour and a half#I say. okay? okay. 30 more minutes go by. I try to call the guy back. straight to voicemail. three more calls. three more no answers.#I call my insurance back. sit on hold for 15 min. eventually get put through to a different person who's like “okay let me check on him”#get put on hold. eventually she comes back and says “okay he says 15 minutes” I've been waiting over 2 hours at this point. I have to PEE#I just... burst into tears. on the phone with this poor random woman from Geico Insurance. I'm bawling my eyes out.#she was trying to get claim info from me but I'm crying so hard she's like “oh baby no. okay. okay. we can get that from you tomorrow.”#when you cry so hard that even the insurance company is like “you know what we're just going to let this one slide”#anyway guy eventually shows up. he's very nice even though I hate him a little for being so late. he drives me to an OPEN TIRE SHOP

the downside to being a sitcom neighbour sort of person is that when rough things happen and emotionally fuck u up a lil bit, it also sounds completely made up
#bert's dead dad tag#found out today the way my dad told mom he wanted a divorce?#he wrote her a letter and left it on the dining room table for her to find on the morning of her fortieth birthday#who the fuck does that dead father#like that is the sort of thing i would entirely make up if i needed everyone at the table to fuckin hate an npc#and at least one person would go 'you're laying it on a little bit heavy'#i know he did work to become a better person as he got older#which is good because BOY howdy was that man a piece of shit in the early 90s#and we are having Complicated feelings about it tonight and also for the last nine months#something something when i was writing his eulogy i came across an old article discussing something he did in the 90s#YDIP (your dad is problematic)#like yeah this is the sort of thing that would have been vaguely acceptable in the cultural context#but like. still objectively bad. potentially ruining several lives sort of bad.#learned this and then wrote the rest of his eulogy about how he was a great guy and how i'm lucky to have been his son#(which was rough enough on its own because i've never said 'i'm [dad's name]'s son' as many times as i did that trip home)#but like what else do you do? i sent off a message looking for more information#and that information if it comes is just gonna sit with me i guess#sure as hell not telling my sister and this whole thing i've been getting through without really having anyone here for me to talk to#(hence the big fuckoff tag rant. your problem now losers who like clicking the read more button)#so even if i get all the answers i want about this one thing it's not gonna do any good except putting an end to one question#but part of having a dead dad who's been out of the business of forming new memories since you came out is having more questions#answering this one's just gonna add even more questions to the pile#but. got fuckall else to do

"Everything you went through was meaningless." [St Voyager S3 E7: 'Sacred Ground']
#Serving Jesus realness#star trek screenshots#Janeway#iconic that all the aliens are like 'damn....that's crazy....anyway-' about Janeway HEHEHE they're like snickering behind their hands#I would be too honestly if some outsider tried to speedrun my ancient spiritual rituals#Love the vibe of 'this could all be hazing' they're putting out. Also I keep seeing the face paint on the guide woman as like a mic#honestly this woman's fucking hilarious HEHEHE#Janeway: I'm dying. / Alien Guide: We all die someday :) <- lady who just told her to stick in her hand in a poison jar#AHAHAHA THEY REALLY DID HAZE HER...I love these guys they're so nahnahnahbooboo-core#also the refrain 'Everything you went through was meaningless' ..... thinking BIG thoughts about post-voyager voy crew back on earth#I really do earnestly love the gleeful contempt vibe...it just seems so right. In a funny way but also in a way that's deeply true#the feeling of trying to find answers while you universe laughs and says there are none - it's meaningless - but you're welcome to go ahead#and try. If you find God you have the feeling it would just stare at you blankly. Then laugh.#Chakotay: Captain I've been so worried about you! Have you found a solution? / Janeway: Absolutely. I'm going to walk into the death shrine#Chakotay: (internally hysterical) Oh of COURSE!!!! no of COURSE she's going to walk into the DEATH SHRINE!!!!#great imagery in this one <3 folks who love religious imagery (me) will get a kick outta this one <3#anyway I love when star trek does hopeful eps like this...makes me tear up like. Yeah there could be a scientific explanation but that#doesn't make it MORE true or MORE real than the religious one - it's just as valid to believe in the spirits#Also those three old creeps were lovely <3 scared me and I like that! existential dread!
