i show up to my doctors appointment and the receptionist tells me to sign into my appointment on the app.

theres bikes around the city you can rent but you have to use an app that needs your drivers license. theres buses that drive right to your destination, but if you dont have change you need the app. you can wash your car here if you sign into the app. you can go to the bathroom here you just have to unlock it with the app that needs your location on. you can order at this restaurant if you scan the code and download the app. im losing my freaking mind

"haha go easy it's just a first draft!" except it's the single most important thing i've ever created in my entire life. if you make even one slightly neutral comment about it i will withdraw into a cave and never return to society. any feedback that does not amount to "omg yes this is incredible, it’s unlike anything else ever made, where is the sequel, this idea is sure to make you at least fifteen billion dollars" will reduce me to tears. but be honest tho

this claws at my soul. tears open my chest and bares it for all to see, but there is no one there but myself. and I love her for it

seeing a venezuelan crowd filling at&t stadium in arlington tx is such a beautiful reminder that sports are political. those are refugees and citizens. venezuelans and other latinos. those are the people this country cannot keep denying personhood.

latinos are fined and/or kicked out of neighborhoods in dallas for being themselves. for being brown. they are not welcome in so many parts of texas and yet they have filled its largest stadium. even if they don’t win, this is a victory.

I will never shut up about the missed opportunities of Naruto and how disappointed I was by shippuden. Like some of the moments are so good, but this is why og Naruto is so much better in my opinion. When the story was focused on the characters instead of cool fights and visuals. Those are the moments that last, that make an impact. Sasuke showing up and wanting to be hokage with no build up or explanation for that very out of character moment is not it

I love how grim was the original Naruto.

I really miss when adults were portrayed like that, like actual soldiers who had to indulge in several vices to control their PTSD. They smoke or do drugs or read porn or drink or become addicted to work or physical exercise. They are all perverted in their own ways, broken, traumatized, damaged.

I miss when they had big ass scars and when you could tell they were shinobis used to killing for a living just by looking at them.

I miss how Kishimoto used the kids view to make everything look kinda innocent at first, but slowly turned everything worse the more that they lived to reveal to real shinobi world, not how the kids dreamed it to be.

There was something so appealing to it, to the contrast of innocence vs a world submerged in war and violence.

Kakashi starts the Land of the Waves arc being a funny dude with hearts in his speech bubbles and it progresses to Kakashi putting his hand through Haku's heart with a chidori. There's suicide and there's extortion and there's old men molesting Sakura and people being crucified and genocide and corruption and—

There are moments when you can feel the reality of their violence, like when Orochimaru appeared on The Forest of Death. He showed Sasuke and Sakura with a genjutsu how he'd decapitate them. Like when Hiruzen gave his soul to a demon to try and seal Orochimaru's soul too. Like when Gaara started killing people by exploding them with his sand. Like when Rock Lee was told that if he went along with the surgery he could die and if he did not he would never walk again. Like Orochimaru experimenting with kids or like when Neji revealed the secondary branch of the Hyuugas were slaves marked like cattle that would only find freedom if dead. Like Itachi forcing Sasuke to live again and again the Uchiha massacre with a genjutsu.

Shippuden has a lot of it. It is brilliant at times, but doesn't have the consistency of the original.
