#I don't really need a car

[tetsunabouquet]

Do you drive?

No. In the Netherlands, we actually have a pretty great infrastructure when it comes to transportation. I travel to most places by train and within my own city I can get to pretty much every place I need by foot. It's one of the benefits of having a country so small. I'm one of the people who sees cars as a luxury product unless you actually need one for things like work related reasons, and I don't really care for luxury products.

i think my patreons are the best tbh im out here fighting demons, brain damage, car broke, cost of living, price inflation, printer errors, delivery mishaps, rapid onset of media brainrot, inconsistant art style, isolation, the toils and tribulations of living in the rural south, social obligations with financial cost requirement, a cat that actively breaks into plastic bins to chew on stickers and burn out

i am constantly slipping on a bannana peel and patreons are just

I don't know why this is so funny to me.

That I almost died this morning, actually.

And... this place lives on.

It's funny how much the world really doesn't revolve around me.

I'm glad it doesn't!

I don't mind at all.

I am just in a strange mood.

It was just a near car crash, I'm ok.

#I'm not afraid of dying #I'm not #but still #adrenaline #and my mother would never be the same #I guess #my friends I love so deeply would be hurt #I have to live for them #that's what was going through my mind #when I almost died #when that car swerved around me #they ran the red light #all I was thinking about was my mama #man #she really would never get over it #and my siblings need me #my little sister can't even sleep alone #she likes to snuggle with me #how would she feel? #The people on here don't care that much I'm sure #I'm just another user to them #but my stories wouldn't get finished #my songs would never be sung #my poetry would never be shared #I probably needed this #to realize that I really #actually #want to live #life is beautiful #there's so kany pretty thngs that no one seems to notice

[unikhroma]

the other day when i was infodumping about crash for like an hour, my friend asked if i've drawn big shot spamton in pinstripe potoroo's suit yet and the answer is now yes !

#my art and things #deltarune #spamton #big shot spamton #reminder plz don't involve my art w kiin or fictiive stuff ty epicstyle/ #it's a funny coincidence that they both have red suits/ #btw i felt so validated seeing other people make the spamton-pinstripe connection/ #pinstripe becomes a used car salesman at some point and that's all you really need to know/

#I too went feral over the vid that showed how when Crowley turns on his car we hear nightingale for the exact amount of time the kiss lasted #but it would be interesting if crowley was taking the time to breathe like in the first episode when he got mad #good omens 2 spoilers #go2 spoilers #good omens spoilers #go2 #good omens 2 #good omens #i couldn't find any gifs of Crowley in the Bentley from the last episode anywhere so i used Tumblrs gif making feature #i also think i might need to update my app cuz the gif maker was kinda glitchy but i really don't want to change to the new app icon #the last time i updated was so i could see polls

Interesting thing with the Bethesda fallouts (I've been playing a bit of Fallout 4 recently) is that they, at least in my opinion, misunderstand the fun parts of the first 2 games. I don't think think the setting is a very important part in those games, it's a part of it but it's just set-dressing for the gameplay and fun quest stories and how the players interact with them. I think there's some potential in say Fallout 4 for interesting quests or stories (I've done a couple of quests but a lot of my knowledge is from the Joseph Andersson video), but the solutions to any story just leads back into the shooting gameplay loop. This is, I think, antithetical to the format of the originals, which were based a lot more in having the format of a TTRPG. If your TTRPG sessions all boiled down to shooting people with basically no alternative solutions to quests I think your players would get bored. Since it's got shooter mechanics this kind of salvages it, it becomes it's very different own thing. But the wonderful gameplay loop of those first two games is lost, and I kind of miss it. Man, I need to replay Fallout 2.

#fallout #fallout new vegas #fonv #fallout 1 #fallout 2 #fallout 4 #fo4 #fallout 3 #i have never interacted with fallout 3. This praise of the originals also applies to New Vegas #I've just been colored by video essays. Gotta get a grip and start forming my own opinions #seriously though it's really interesting how much Bethesda focuses on the setting of fallout #and pre-war america #who the hell cares about the pre-war world in Fallout 2? You're busy handling the post-war world which is pretty disconnected #also you drive that beautiful car. what a car. love that car #same with fallout 1. you're too busy focusing on all there being KNIGHTS now #you don't need to care about their exact origins even if you can learn it #I guess Fallout 1 & 2 originate from a place of a lot more wack-ass ttrpg source books in the 80s. our crazy asses were wild then

crashes ur board meeting n drags u out by the collar but its fine bc youre the one always saying shit like "im looking for people i can use" ok lol. get used idiot

#just tracing like. the sequence of events that had to take place in order for this to come to pass #1. natori and his shiki are skulking around homura stalking ban. possibly it's just his shiki and natori is elsewhere. #either way 2. natsume shows up and natori learns about it either bc he witnesses it or a shiki comes to tell him #3. natori gets in his little richard scarry apple car (this is my mental image for some reason) & fucking. BOOKS IT to the matoba compound #4. goes inside. presumably matoba lackeys try to stop him bc their boss is in an important meeting but somehow he gets past them #(possibilities here are v fun to think about. maybe natori does this all the time and they're used to it. maybe he's never done it before #but they're all on orders to let natori in if he ever shows up. maybe natori convinces them he's supposed to be IN the meeting #which is great because it sounds like some important clan thing so what is he in the clan now??) #5. interrupts matoba's meeting like 'i need you' and matoba's like 'bye everyone whatever this is is more important' #6. they get in natori's comical apple car (again the apple car is not canon don't worry about it) #& natori drives like a bat out of hell back to homura. (SOURCE: matoba is so scarred he refuses natori's offer for a ride later) #i wonder what they talk about on the way there? because they don't talk about why natori is stalking ban until much later #so they must be busy talking about something else. but what?? #that or they're both too distracted by all the near-death experiences from natori's crazed driving lol #natsume's book of friends #natsume yuujinchou #homura cats arc #horrible exorcists #my posts #sidenote i feel like that page at the end where both matoba and sensei refuse natori's offers of a ride is really funny because #sensei's reason is that it will take too long. but sensei did you know natori drives like a speed demon? think it thru... #also like. how long did it take him to decide to involve matoba? was that his backup plan all along? #also it's pretty lucky that he found matoba at all considering he could be anywhere...the matoba have like 15 houses... #he has matoba's schedule memorized lol #natori sparkling to the assorted clan members in the meeting: sorry ladies and gentlemen i just need to borrow this~ #*throws matoba over his shoulder and fireman-carries him to the parking lot*

Mr. Geeky, Mars, and I are about to go test drive one of the cars we're seriously considering buying and, y'all, I'm so tired of looking at cars I'd be tempted to just buy this one if it weren't for the fact that I fucking refuse to do this again unless I absolutely have to so we are going to buy a car that is as fucking amazing as we can afford and that's from a brand that fucking lasts.

(Today is a Mazda, can't remember which one. This upcoming weekend we're going to look at Toyotas. Hondas, after looking, have already been nixed.)

#geeky talks #mr geeky and i don't really want to buy a car #we've really been fine doing without one for years #but the past few years we've just found ourselves renting cars more and more #and at some point you need to admit defeat #so here we are

love this part of my life where the things that are difficult but challenging and good for me are things i can stop and skip and halfass, but the things that are difficult and painful and pointless are the things i have to live with no matter what

#school and home life are too much to handle so i skip school #because i cant kick my parents out #and appartments cost money #and i dont have a car to sleep in #i could maybe try to dig up my old childhood tent but that brings a whole host of logistic questions + im scared and it's difficult #anyway. it's fine. it's cool. i just have to hold on until i graduate high shcool and then ????? #find a way to live without my parents money OR scholarships #all for some nebulous end goal of having a job (the only field i'm interested in and good at offers two options: #to become an academic #or to become a freelancer #i do not have the fortitude to be an academic and being a freelancer is convoluted and pays like shit) #i might've spent 24h without my parents occasionally if i spent the night at a friend's place once or twice recently #but besides that the last time i've gone 48h without my parents was when the mental health center organised a week camp uhhhh... #two summers ago #incredibly good for my mental health as you can see #god i remember like... years ago. around 13yo maybe or 14. a guy. i dont know if he was a mental health professional or like social cases #but anyway he told me ''you're too afraid to be away from mommy and daddy'' and it made me want to rip his eyes out #several other people have implied or suggested that too over the years and it's just #am i too dependant on my parents? yes. will it be difficult to take my independance? yes. #does it means i don't both rationally recognize and feel that this is really fucking unhealthy and hindering for me #on top of being unpleasant? #FUCK NO #i want out my guy. there's just not many opportunities for an already mentally ill teenager #now that i'm eighteen i have to grapple with the logistical problems of the money needed and how to continue my education #and im sure a billion more if i start searching a little more seriously #perhaps i should kill myself that way i don't cost anyone any more money #broadcasting my misery #vent

SAY IT WITH ME:

FEMALE CHARACTERS CAN BE WARRIORS AND FEMININE

MALE CHARACTERS CAN BE SMART AND MASCULINE

BEING BOTH IS NOT A "FLAW" WHERE ONE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED

IT'S CALLED "COMPLEXITY"

#i won't tag it #but #HECK if i wanted to chuck episode 5 out my window and then run it over with a car #i mean these issues have definitely been hinted at before ep 5 but that one just went ALL IN #i knew from 3 and 4 what they would probably do with hakoda but GOSH am i bitter about it #i swear if they don't walk this back somehow and make hakoda a bad overbearing dad or whatever i'm gonna riot #and katara's whole 'you know i'm not good at this [womanly] type of stuff' NO SCREW YOU WHOEVER INCLUDED THAT #WHY #if you want a female character that rejects the stereotypes of femininity you'll get one in season 2 gosh DANG IT #you don't need to try and force katara into that role #sokka wanting to use his brain AND fight well is not a flaw #katara wanting to use her waterbending to fight AND knowing how to sew is not a flaw #OH i hate this #i hate this so much #i can understand the need to change story elements to work better in a different format #i don't think they're always doing that WELL but i can understand the need for it #but i will never understand why they felt the need to butcher characters' personalities #again some things won't transfer well i get it i really REALLY do #it's like with sanji in opla how he had to be toned down - that makes sense for a live action adaptation #just removing things simply for the sake of removing them? no just no #'updated for modern audiences' has become a curse to my ears i swear because it always means the same thing #'we're going to remove all complexity and make it as one note as possible so we don't offend anyone' #there was nothing wrong with katara or sokka or aang or anyone else that they needed 'updating' yall are just close-minded #ok rant over just REALLY needed to get that out...
