I guess I had no chance of developing an ability to make a decision with parents like mine... my mom's birthday was last Tuesday and I haven't had a chance to see her to celebrate and give her a gift yet, and since it's also Father's Day today I called them last night to ask them what they want to do, myself leaning towards taking them out for dinner today unless they'd prefer to come to my house or me to visit them at camp. What follows is a condensed version of our conversation; there was a lot more back and forth-

Me: Let me know what you want to do.

Mom: I'll let you talk to dad and see what he wants to do.

Dad: I'll let you and mom decide.

Mom: Let me know what you want to do.

Me: I'm trying to celebrate the two of you, we can eat wherever you want!

#so now I wait until someone makes a decision #I refuse #my role here is to spend time with my parents and buy them a meal #also I have no idea what to get my dad #and I didn't really get mom anything for mother's day because they were on the road and I had no idea when I'd see her #so I just bought her lunch when I did #but I'm giving them both cards and already got my mom something for her birthday and since we're celebrating both it'd be weird #not to give my dad something along with a card #even though he always tells me not to get him anything and refuses to give me ideas and hates cards #I stared at the gift card section of the store last night for like 10 minutes but he's impossible to buy for not even a dumb gift card work #I was going to get one for texas roadhouse since they like that place but I didn't see one #and since they live in a camper during the summer and just have a car to drive all of their stuff back to FL in I hate to buy them stuff #that's just going to take up unnecessary space #I hate giving gift cards but it really is the best option these days so I got my mom a Kohl's gift card #I know you all don't know my dad but any last minute non-bulky gift ideas for a dad who doesn't need anything are welcome 😁#well these tags really got away from me #and that's really saying something considering who I am

I was wondering, does Fiddleford still have a wife in your Halloween au? And if yes, does she know about him being a vampire?

I've been sitting on this ask for a bit, but I think I should finally answer.

In my AU, Fidds is actually pretty old-- not like ancient or anything, but surely a few centuries?

Anyway, so way back, when he was human, he did have a wife and a kid!! But when he got bit and became a vampire, he actually outlived them :(

He tries to think about them often, but it's definitely one of the things he chooses to erase when he creates the memory gun

#if you were a bored immortal what's the first thing you're doing?#exactly-- wait around until the 1970s to go to a college that happens to be no one's first choice where you get a roomate that you befriend #and after graduating with an engineering degree and waiting a few years you get a call from him while workin in your garage #and he ropes you into coming to live with him to help him with this big project #and then you really DO get roped into his project literally and you're traumatized by the experience so you quit and leave #but y'know it just so happens that you received an invite to a vampire “meeting” that really is just a party #and you don't have a good time but on the way back to your motel you run into this guy that looks a little like your buddy but he's greasie #chubbier just grosser in general-- oh yeah and a werewolf #and then it turns out that your buddy actually managed to fall into the nightmare portal and his brother the werewolf #wants to get him out and he finds out that you helped build it originally #so you get tied in to domestic hijinks with the brother of your friend while you both try to work together to build the portal #and you accidentally fall in love with your friend's twin brother- the werewolf #or well that's what i would do if i was a cursed immortal y'know #cole's answering #gravity falls #grunkle stan #stanley pines #fiddleford mcgucket #fiddleford hadron mcgucket #stan is really only mentioned in the tags they kinda got away from me sorry guys this always happens #werewolf stan pines #vampire fiddleford #gravity falls au #gravity falls halloween au

The BEST line I have ever read from a Ford x Reader Fic

was something along the lines of "I want him to grab me like how he grabs that chicken sandwich."

I have searched endlessly for this one-shot. I haven't seen it in at least two years, (honestly probably more). I fear it has been deleted. But I think about this line all the time.

To whoever made this masterpiece, I hope life is treating you well and I love you

#I literally think to this every time I talk about fics with my friends. It's the one that got away #ford x reader #ford pines x reader #It was a pretty cozy one-shot.#If I remember right; reader was looking over their book and admiring him eating his lunch from the couch #I literally spent hours going through the tag to find it #That line is legendary #lost fic #ford pines #gravity falls #stanford pines #Idk who you are but I love you #It was actually a really sweet fic #You dropped your 'funniest person alive' pin #I may be misquoting slightly #I think I read this in 2021 maybe??#"I want him to grab me like a chicken sandwich'#Maybe it was “grip me”#Ah well

can i just say. and this is probably a niche hill to die on. that i am so gobsmacked every time someone vaguely hints at the idea that jotaro doesn't care meaningfully for the other crusaders, usually particularly kakyoin and joseph, when those two actually tend to be the ones he reacts to being hurt the hardest

like he cares for his loved ones!!!! that literally plays into his character motives in every single part he shows up in!!! stop lying to me!!!!!!!

#me.txt #jjba #i'm going to ramble in tags actually. excuse me #ok. rereading sdc and so confused at the general perception of jotaro and his friends/family. he's not NEARLY as flat or as dickish #i understand that the anime (particularly the dub) tends to slander him but even then he still clearly cares for them! i'm confused #i also understand that a lot of people dig against jotaro and kakyoin as a dynamic because 'they're popular' and that generally disliking #popular things across media is a thing that i've seen consistently everywhere but the discredit to them simply as a DUO and not even as a #pairing is so..... odd..... like they're considered to be a duo that clicks for a reason. i enjoyed them even before i got into the fandom #every time i see someone say jotaro is overrated/dull i take a shot and assume they're an anime-only or only read the manga like once btw #joseph and jotaro also have a neat dynamic and they obviously both love and care for each other. like they're not going to go around loudly #or anything but literally the entirety of the lovers and the prelude to the dio fight IS jotaro being worked up over joseph getting hurt #equally i don't know if it translates to the anime as much but joseph is VERY complimentary when it comes to jotaro. like he sings his #praises so often and reminds everyone that he's his grandson so frequently (d'arby the gamer is a good example of this). either way it's so #peculiar....... there's not enough avdol and jotaro content btw (also in canon) because jotaro obviously looks up to him and avdol jokes #around with him on the occasion they interact after their intro which doesn't start very well. it's very cute #i do think an important thing to note about jotaro's character is how he acts AFTER his intro because he's so drastically different. early #jotaro and later jotaro aren't the same character and i do not mean this in a character development way. excluding the jail incident he's #completely different and probably shouldn't really be taken into account (especially considering the amount of slapstick in araki's intros)#and i think that's really???? what people center on for his character? Which sucks balls bad!#anyways. i could ramble more about this if asked i have so much to say but sigh. jotaro cares so much for his friends and family he's not a #flat fully cold asshole character regardless of whether you watch the anime or ova or read the manga. you just have poor media literacy #i wouldn't recommend watching solely the anime for his character though. the dub also changes a lot so it's... questionable #i love the anime and it's still important for him though. also adds neat stuff. i need to stop myself. i have many thoughts on the matter #jotaro kujo #joseph joestar #noriaki kakyoin #adding in case anyone sees: i am not saying that he is perfect about this. in fact he is very ass about it with jolyne and holly and that's #very important. he also is in fact an asshole sometimes. NOT as much as you guys are making him though!#please don't get me started on how much of a dick etc people make kakyoin to veer away from the 'woobified' characterizations of him #in fact i think that's bad if not worse because it CLAIMS to be in character. hes a prim asshole at times but not that angry or dishevelled

New comic coming next week or right now if you're a patron

#hope everyone's well #for christmas I learned how to restuff stuffed animals and took two of my spouse's while they were away and restuffed them #b/c I wanted to focus on something they already had instead of getting them something new #and also I knew they'd trust me with their Guys even though I'm not really a sewing guy #to toot my own horn. it turned out great. dramatic improvement. I also sewed a dried lavender packet so one of them's scented now #the both of them together took almost the entire five-pound box of fancy stuffing I got #and the sewing skills I learned let me later remove a very annoying tag from one of my shirts and resew the seam so. highly recommend #also highly recommend needles that are good for hand sewing if you've got stupid hands. they're bigger and easier to wield #and find in the couch #anyway enough about that. hope the rest of your year is good too

so you all may remember that about 2 and a half years ago (oh my god) i did a limited print run of tangled ribbons! when i did that run, i ordered some extras both in case something happened and so i would have something else on my table as i was doing my first con and i was a little low on items

however, i still have these in stock and i'm trying to clean out some of my stuff, so they're now available on my kofi with some of my miraculous merch!!

you can either buy the book alone for 10 usd, or for 14 usd you can also get a print and two die cut stickers!

not only that, but i do have mystery bags of exclusively miraculous merch for 25 usd if you'd like to check those out! they'll later be listed on my etsy, but for now they're ko-fi exclusive! get it here!

We all know Timmy is Wanda’s mama’s boy but we need to keep in mind he’s still Cosmo’s kid too and that Cosmo would love him just as vehemently as Wanda

#fairly oddparents #not that anyone has portrayed him different #certainly not distance he loves Timmy he probably says it the most in the show and in fanon #but still- watching New Wish there felt like there was a disconnect with Cosmos character-like he wasn’t as well defined as he was in OG #that’s in part due to them toning him down from being an idiot plain and simple but I feel like it wasn’t fitted with something else it was #simply taken away #just to say he didn’t have as much of a presence to me in New Wish as Wanda did and I crave spinning Cosmo around in my brain #I want to see Poof being his Dad’s Boy yknow and I want to see cosmo doting and I want to see when he gets like. parental rage for the sake #of his kids #yknow? Yknow? part of him feeling detached in a new wish has translated into him not wanting to get as close to Hazel as he did Timmy-#to try and play it more like godparents are supposed to- just a presence for a couple months #but also because like. he got SO attached to Timmy and he’ll never regret it and he’d never do anything different #but idk. if it were me I wouldn’t have the capacity to go through losing my godkid again after becoming that attached #that’s not even mentioning that they don’t HAVE to be in hazel’s life the same way they were in Timmy’s because Timmy was going through #neglect and Hazel has loving family and friends all around her at all times- her blocks are mental #in that way cosmo and Wanda just have to do the Typical Godparent Job of aiding her- not becoming people she desperately needs in life #which also bleeds into why I think Peri was having such a. difficult time #godparents aren’t supposed to be attached the way his family was to Timmy and that how he learned it #but his first godkid is Not Easy and lends immediately to the issues Timmy was having where he HAS parents he HAS things (though . Timmy #was not rich and would sometimes not be fed… dev’s dad also forgets to feed him but dev is still able to eat you know)#and how he grew up with his parents as godparents and how he’s been taught are conflicting and it’s nature vs doing a good job quoteunquote #I didn’t mean to ramble so damn much in the tags I’m really sorry #told myself if I had more to say I’d write it down and post it later but I must be heard.

Man it really just hit me that if the Shadow Dragons existed in a modern our world city just how fast the magisterium and mass media would be out there propagandizing and pushing the narrative that the Shadows are dangerous terrorists who want to overthrow the state (and probably speculate that they intend to implement all kinds of terrible reforms that threaten only the powerful should they succeed). The plight of the resistance.

No doubt the Magisterium on the whole and the Venatori ARE pushing a narrative like that across Tevinter. Probably what your Average Antivan or Nevarran knows about the Shadows IS the propaganda. (Dangerous, Looking to impose their own views on the People of Tevinter by force).

Part of the struggle for Resistance Fighters IS how consolidated and interconnected systems of power are and what that means for how people understand them. Even the Shadows Allies like Dorian or Legatus Mercar aren't doing so openly. The Shadows are dangerous to be affiliated with. The heat Rook takes on the Nesus job probably got them branded the lore appropriate equivalent of domestic terrorist. There is undoubtedly a price on Rook's head in Minrathous. The stakes for any Shadow in getting identified are Very High.

I think if we really saw much of Minrathous outside Dock Town the reaction to the Shadow Dragons would be very different. Rook would probably be very on edge about being recognized.

Rook is infact probably very politically inconvenient for the Mercar family, even if the Mercar's agree with them entirely because of how much resisting oppression from within a system of power is a game of optics.

#is the thesis of this post a little bit that t*rrorist is a meaningless words systems of power throw around use to maintain the status quo?#Maybe.#I think they tried to keep the factions a little too palatable for this to properly be explored but man the Shadows hold potential for some #very pertinent sociopolitical commentary #also the antivan crows being like oh yeah we know the shadows they're really great at kill venatori. we respect that.#very funny 10/10 #rook mercar #shadow dragons #datv #datv meta #dragon age the veilguard #Rook being so in love with their home and people and being effectively cut off as a result of expressing that love #bc what is resistance if not an act of love #Rook ranting about class consciousness and praxis late at night in the lighthouse is so real to me #this is part of why sd rookanis goes so hard for me actually bc Lucanis kind of gets it in his own way #he see's the harms of the system and bends the rules to do what he can to help #he's not quite ready to throw a brick at a templar but i think he can readily see where the shadows are coming from #which is surprising in someone of his level of wealth and social standing (crows are influential in antiva and tge 1st house especially)#there's a lot to navigate in their dynamic #the way he says fuck the job to help the slaves and tips servuce workers well is hot actually #these tags really got away from me

Today I want to share the joy that Reading A Newspaper has brought me recently (yesterday).

Because you see, it's not very often that I can read a several pages long good quality feature on a band that I'm something of a fan of, considering that until last year at best, all and any musical favourites I had were next to unheard of in the, let's call it, professional music business. And said feature also gave a few mentions to the one and only fav band of all time which I'm also still not used to being able to read about in my language (because it only happened like 5 times in total so far anyway, but still). And I can buy the newspaper in my local store in this minuscule town and find Sparks inside, like wow, it really is My Sparks, in this real life physical newspaper that I just got. This was like a belated but very epic christmas gift for me and I'm not kidding.

But well yeah getting to the point now, Franz Ferdinand are starting their tour soon promoting their upcoming new album and they're stopping in Poland too, so there was this whole 14-pages long overview of their whole career, and while I was obviously interested in the whole thing I was most hyped about the fact that there would have to be something about FFS and Sparks there and this brings me to my delighful observation that wow, all of this is so, connected in a way. Like how there are these connections in inspiration and collaborations between many of my favourites that I didn't even think about probably being a thing before, but when I think about it it just makes so much sense. Like how in this interview with Alex Kapranos, the interviewer brings up Talking Heads and specifically Fear of Music, because the new Franz Ferdinand album also has this sort of overarching theme of fear. And it's funny because that's the first Talking Heads album I've ever listened to and still my favourite from them to this day and overall one of my all-time favourite albums. And I guess it shouldn't be that shocking that it'd come up here because Talking Heads were super influential and inspired thousands, but also until now I didn't think about how both these bands share the general direction of creating dance-able type of rock with lyrics that are often on the more reflective and "intellectual" side. And also that album has been recommended to me as the most TMBG-like of theirs so. Wow I wonder why I like it.

Ok there were also all these other things that I want to mention too, so, other miscellaneous points of interest:

In the debut album review, the reviewer said that during Tell Her Tonight Alex sings a lot like Russell Mael, who likes to sing in falsetto. And well I know there's also the Sparks connection in the form of FFS to come later but still, this was such a great SPARKS MENTION!!!! moment for me anyway. But also they got one thing wrong, because it's not that Russell likes singing in falsetto, Ron forced him to sing in falsetto by writing all of his songs in this crazy uper range of notes, and that's a very important detail !!!!!!

And ok I had no idea that Piss Off already existed in some form as far back as 2004!! Or I knew about this and then I forgor. Either way, fascinating piece of information

I need to know more about how these star-based ranking systems work because why would you call FFS an "excellent album" and then rate it 4 stars. Instead of, I don't know, 4 and a half or 5 maybe?? Especially since it apparently has only 2 "weak songs". And I have some major objections when it comes to this too, because we're calling Things I Won't Get a weak track now?? It's just underrated as heck, and that's a hill that I will die on

Also I could never be a music reviewer because these people can fit their whole commentary on one song within one sentence and I feel like I would have to write at least 3 paragraphs on even the least exceptional of songs on a given album before I can feel like I did it justice. I mean, this whole post itself shows how much of a problem this is for me, lol

Also guys were we all aware that FFS turns 10 next yeah. Oh god. Well I need to remember to keep my tradition and preapre a cool piece of fanart for that occasion then. Maybe they should give us FFS 2 to celebrate, I'm pretty sure there'd be lots of interest among the fandom in something like that. Anyway

Well also this wasn't the only article in this whole thing of course and CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, there was a little bit on the Harrison & Belew Remain In Light Tour, which I will also be attending!!! Lots of great stuff is cooking for the first half of 2025 for me musically I can't lie

And also CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, that a year and a half since it was supposed to be released "worldwide" and long after I already lost hope that I'd ever see it in a cinema, they're releasing Stop Making Sense in cinemas over here too. Fucking finally!!! By gods and heavens, that rare moment when you learn about something crucial through a goddamn instagram ad of all places. And then they also reminded me about this in an actual article so well wow. Can you believe this. I can't. So stocked for next saturday when i'm seeing this movie the way it was always supposed to be seen hehehe

Ok I think that's it. Thank you for reading and maybe I should really make that personal website for my rambles in the new year. I'd definitely put that thing to use.

#god this post got away from me and grew in scope very fast. i mostly just wanted to say that it made my evening #to read and learn something very interesting about bands i like and realize that there are connections between them that i didn't see befor #and how all of that might have influenced me and my musical preferences without me having any idea about it?#and ok does this go under my long posts tag? well it definitely should #goose monologues #but well yeah some obligatory sidenotes in the tags now #all in all i must say that i'm REALLY hyped for the show now. i mean both of them. (franz & remain in light)#and i've been thinking about how the new album comes out on january 10th so. very soon. and the show is next month after that #and maybe it'd be a good idea to listen to the other albums before that. because i've only listened to 3 of them in full so far ooops #i mean it's not like they have that many albums anyway it's fine.#but also i confess that i didn't know any of the other band members names besides alex until i read this article #i mean i didn't even know who else is in the band at all so.#please forgive me for my ignorance. but well what better way is there to ring in the new year #than by blasting franz ferdinand? just like that one post said #wait i should be able to find that post actually just give me one moment

so, fellow aspec people, what are y'all's relationship to gay as an umbrella term? I've seen a lot of aroace people call themselves gay despite *technically* not being, and personally I've always been confused by that

(and also— I'd imagine that aroallo or alloace people who are gay for their other orientation would automatically include themselves with that term, but what about the arohets and acehets? how do y'all feel about the use of gay as an umbrella term?)

I'm just curious about other people's experiences bc i as an aromantic person feel rather uncomfortable being grouped in as gay because I've never been attracted to another man before, but anecdotally i seem to be in the minority
