#yeah I'm Old

[anonfromtheflight]

Pride month it's officially over but I hope every one who even suspects they're queer, had the most amazing month!

And even for those who are questioning felt good and remember it doesn't matter if you are out or not!

Here's two songs to celebrate our queernes all year long!

One

And two:

I came out of the closet over 20 years ago but I have never before felt the joy Omar Rudberg's music has given to me 💜🏳️‍🌈

Me (a 30-something-year-old who used to watch JUST SHOOT ME):

Kiddo, you're just describing Wendie Malick."

"I believe that man would defend your honor at every turn and take your secrets to the grave. I think he would fight the entire city for you." During a time when the Warrior of Light is unsure of who she can trust, Emmanellain de Fortemps is not particularly helpful at calming her fears. And while Riona has her reservations about the Lord Commander as well, Tataru is convinced this is the start of of something grand.

Last week was a bad week. Ray was swamped by work, and we were both swamped by a massive invasion of fire ants that swarmed into the apartment. They were in my bed, yo. My bed. It was bad. It took days to get them gone. The bites are still hurting on and off.

Because of that, I missed an anniversary of note. Not that one. The other one.

Voltron Defender of the Universe debuted on American TV 40 years ago last week.

I remember as a tiny seeing the ads for it and getting so excited. It looked a lot like Star Blazers and Battle of the Planets, and I was all for it…but I guess my mom recognized a potential hyper-fixation when she saw it, because I wasn't allowed to watch it until that Friday--the 14th, I guess.

Whatever else I can say about Mom, she knew me. It was totally a hyper-fixation. There's a few brain cells for which it still is. I love Voltron and adored the Lion Voltron Force from the moment I set eyes on them, and always will. They were the stars of my first baby fanfictions, and will probably be the stars of my very last.

So here's to 40 years to my favorite mecha team and robot(s) in anime. Thanks, guys! I love you!

Did somebody say Bill shouldn't be allowed to swear? I think somebody said Bill shouldn't be allowed to swear. Thanks to that, have these retooled The Good Place jokes:

The "powers that be" can refer to either the Theraprism staff, the Axolotl, or just. Ya know. Disney in general. Or all three! Whichever you think is funniest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The "party" Bill's referring to is Weirdmageddon, of course. He was quite the ashhole to everyone back then.

Ford has probably gotten pretty good at the 'tune out your psychopathic ex with dank memes' challenge.

It must be very cathartic to be able to make Bill shut up whenever you want with just the press of a button. I'm sure Ford doesn't abuse this ability at all.

Oh, sure, 'Not now,' he says, before he immediately backs out of the newly-made hole in the Theraprism wall. 🙄

Don't worry, Bill doesn't get far.

also yeah i know this one doesn't have an attempted swear - i just wanted to use the joke because of the massive stink-eye involved in it because it makes me laugh

⬇️ More goofs beneath the brief ramble if you wanna skip it lmao⬇️

Why is Ford even there, you might ask? Well, he either decided he preferred to watch Bill suffer in person over being distantly and repeatedly harassed with the same evil desperation book for the rest of his life, or he got roped into some kind of contrived community service for 1.) all his many counts of interdimensional thievery, and 2.) his ignoring all the very clear warnings to NOT summon Bill in the first place (which I like to imagine is also illegal). Theraprism staff were just like, 'Wait, this guy matters to Bill? Ooh, we can USE that! It might be the only thing that can help him want to get better!' It is not considered that throwing Ford at Bill so soon after Weirdmageddon could instead make them both WORSE - in new and altogether special ways! :D

Anyway, I'm calling it the Community Service AU, and I am most likely not going to do anything else with it beyond appropriating these silly Good Place jokes. So, feel free to adopt the concept if y'all wanna??? Just make sure that Bill is still not allowed to swear, no matter what, full stop. It's gotta be a real linguistic corkblork of a situation for him, is all I'm sayin'.

Finally, have these bonus Good Place jokes, but with Handyman!Bill this time:

'Opposite tortures' doesn't sound so bad...at least until it's an all-powerful chaos entity known for torture saying it.

you may think i forgot mabel's cute pink cheeks but the truth is that i did in fact forget but then immediately stopped caring which makes it okay, SHHHHHHH

And, finally:

lmao this is shit

True facts, if you cram Season 1 Eleanor Shellstrop and Michael into a singular triangle shape, they turn into Bill Cipher. This is science, look it up. Or don't, and just trust the source that is me, bro.

Anyway, I should be in bed, y'all have fun with these, I guess. Tune in after like a week or so and maybe I'll have an addendum to my comic about how Bill was drawn naked for karaoke night. Because him actually being naked was not the only thing I considered as a plausible explanation. XD

Also if you see any inconsistencies or errors in any of these comics, No You Do Not :D

Also also, reblogs are rad as hell and I appreciate every single one, just don't repost, please and thanks. Every time a repost is made, an artist somewhere cries. :,)

My ultimate-favourite fandoms are for shows that ended in the mid-90s. Two of them I have on DVD, the other one I can see only in shitty quality on youtube because it was never mega-popular.

Not to out myself as someone that’s been on tumblr for too long, but I’m so sad to see this new trend of people saying “I like this thing, even though the show isn’t airing anymore.” Like? That’s how things work! Keep enjoying them! Art doesn’t just vanish when it’s not airing, and it wasn’t made to be exclusively viewed live! 10+ years ago, the idea of saying “Ah, I’m still here in this fandom 2 years after the show was cancelled 😳” would have been BONKERS!

All these kids saying “It’s so sad the shows gone,” no it’s not!!! I saw your fanart yesterday! Last week you told me about my favorite character’s music playlist!!! I saw them running around in your AMV!

Where’s the longevity?? It was made for you!!! Not TV!!! It was made for keeps!!! Keep it!!! Please!!! That’s how art stays alive!!!

I've been off Tumblr for so long, I no longer know where anything is. I think I'm officially old.

El pueblo unido jamás será vencido! - Spanish lyrics and English transla...

[the-pm-edible]

See, it's just this:

I'm too cheap to spring for a real blog.

I'm autistic and ADHD. Self-diagnosed, of course because I was born in approximately The Middle Ages, and "Autism / ADHD / being trans" Was Not A Thing.

(I assure you: We did. It all existed then, too. Really. But Society basically shamed, beat, and/or killed us for it. So. Y'know, you adapt, mask your real self, or die )

My brain only really works when I have THC onboard. The world in general (as I perceive it) is flat, two-dimensional, and in black & white.

THC raises me up, like being pulled up out of Flatland and being able to look down on that cold grey reality. I can see the connections now between things. I start to understand the timelines of things. I start to understand things like foreshadowing and call-backs, and character arcs in the stuff i read or watch.

I make things more efficient on THC. Because I start to understand processes. "Oh. See, this would be better / easier / faster if you just did /this/" ... and lo and behold, it is.

I see what I'm doing wrong in my life and my marriage (if you want to call it that when 2 autistic people of vastly disparate views on Stuff types, amounts, and location and who don't communicate well decide each is the other's "eh, good enough") and get married so that Thing 1 can buy a house and property to facilitate Thing 2's impulsive decisions regarding exotic pets... but I digress)

Anyway, I see behaviors that I have. I hear from the shard whose Event caused that behavior. I start to see why that would be triggered by this current event. Again I'm making connections.

I know I have significant time blindness, which actually helps in a job like mine, but that also means I forget to eat, i forget to get up and move, i forget to hydrate.

The PM Edible is the thing that causes my disparate little Shards - of emotions, of memories, of feelings -- to get time out of lockdown.

This tumblr is their equivalent of Open Mic Night. Who ever wants to say anything, feel anything, pontificate on something, take your shot.

Some of them chase butterflies. Some sit and analyze things abd processes and connections.

Some of them, well, *one* of them longs for some sort of real world connection. Which is unavailable.

I talk to no one, regularly. I spend all day in my office with the door cracked open barely, headphones on as I mine data.

I go home from work, do dishes, eat something, and then go to bed.

Lather, rinse, repeat

So, no real-life people, and no online people either.

I guess this thing is just me screaming into a void, sending out another gold record trying to capture the experience of an insignificant life on earth, on the electronic equivalent of a Voyage probe.

I remember when it switched to that...

Anyone?

hey btw if you're in the USA at  2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.

if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.

additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.

i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."

"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

I'm ill today, off work and feeling really shitty so I started replaying DMMD for some ungodly reason. Still surprised its now available on steam??? with an official translation no less ...crazy.

Sill despite how crazy the plot of this game is the art and music is still top tier and it's an enjoyable replay. Found a tier list so here is my probably highly controversial take lol.

I'm sorry I just found koujaku really boring ; v ; ...and mink ...ehhh.....yeah...lets just say he is not the best depiction of a native American and I'll just leave it at that LOL. I also know that sly is (was?) a fandom fave but I'm sorry I just find edgy emo Aoba not that interesting either.

Still CLEAR and NOIZ my loves, both had such a cool progression and plot to their storylines that I love. I am always a sucker for the teaching a robot to love trope and clear had a really cool take on it! AND NOIZ.....god I love 2003 hot topic dipsy, He is like edgy in a really refreshing way for these kinda games even now.
