Beach walking 101

It was a blustery day Saturday on South Forest Beach. Nonetheless, we managed our daily beach walk along the roiling Atlantic, employing the patented Hilton Head method, which goes like this:

First, you determine which way the wind is blowing. Then, you start out by walking against the wind, taking the sheltered sidewalk that runs parallel to the shoreline. Then you take a path down to the beach and finish your walk on the beach, with the wind.

It works for bicycling, too.

Rhys Darby deserves an Emmy and I’m so serious

#like obviously his comedic timing is impeccable #but I’m thinking about the tears in his eyes in the beach dream in 2.01 #I’m thinking about ‘come back to me’ #I’m thinking about ‘walk.’ #or how he pulls Ed in by his collar and he’s so overwhelmed and Ed is the only thing who can keep him grounded #I’m thinking about ‘you’re a coward’ and ‘draw’ #I’m thinking about ‘I know. I know that’ #like he COMPLETELY deserves it #rhys darby king of range #rhys darby #ofmd #our flag means death #stede bonnet

revamped looong mermaid orufrey au :')

#witch hat tag #orufrey #partial nudity / #about half of it is new the other half is redrawn from last year. Why would you rescribble some scribbles. Well it was bad. #i always underestimate how much i've improved in a year last may was questionable. also it's not even may any more so why mermaids now. #sorry if you remember this but at least half is new story. i'll just paste more explanation from twt.... #first qifrey was cursed by EVIL WITCH eye taken and thrown into the sea #memory-less. then kind little witch boy oru found him on the beach & they became friends #they drifted apart after falling for each other bc qif knew he could never be with him. #oru walked on the beach every day for years hoping to see him again until so desperate he goes into the sea (on a ship?) & is dying #qifrey saved him with a kiss. they got closer &oru swore to find a way to save him that wasnt dangerous but qif knew hed need a dark witch. #(that witch was probably the one who cursed him..just toying with him...) in with the spell oru DOES forget him for real #even tho he needs to give Kiss Of True Love before qif turns totally blind for qif to stay human for good or become seafoam. but oru someho #the oldest magic is love..the ability to break through the curses of loneliness and despair. qif already did that for him #so oru was able to do it back later. he fell in love with him again..but also realised it was obviously him....well anyway...... #originally the 'finding oru stranded like that guy in the little mermaid' was a separate au but it still makes sense to combine them #i dont want them to have not met in childhood...thats the orufrey thing.... #im going to work on Proper drawings next instead of silly comics as usual....

#okay random story time i don't know why im narrating this or how i even stumbled upon this memory rn #but i generally do sad vents in the tags and for a change this is a funny one #so back in highschool (i say highschool but i mean junior college) i used to visit this park near my house a lot #i was an sg kid back then and the thing about parks there is that they're kinda beach-parks and they have the best cycling/running tracks #they're also really massive parks so i used to go often. sometimes bicycling. other times walking. yeah. the park was like my sanctuary #anyway. there are quite a few bike rental areas in the park and there was a cute lil shop next to this one particular rental place #and they sold like biscuits and water and icecreams and stuff and i went there a lot #and on one particular day i went there and there was this guy around my age part timing at that shop #now again this might be culture specific bc i dont see it in india but part timing in uni/pre-uni is pretty common is sg #a lot of shops and restaurants employ teenagers to twenty something ppl for part time jobs... anyway im just adding context #point is that i had walked to the park with my mum that day and she told me to go buy a couple icecreams so i went to the shop #and i saw this guy around my age and like. not to be a simp but this dude was so pretty? #like he saw someone had come to the counter so he looked up and shot a smile and i thought i got slapped by sunlight #i could spend the next several lines going on about his pretty tan skin and his glowing raven eyes but this is pathetic enough so ill stop #anyway he saw me and smiled really wide (customer service smile- i thought to myself) and i smiled back and asked for icecreams or whatever #and then this guy started getting chatty right. so he was all 'you come here (to the park) often right? ive seen you with your bike a lot' #see now. the problem with me is that i always think im bothering people. this poor dude was attempting to make conversation #and i was replying with one word answers #and i wasn't even realizing that he didnt want that. bc he kept asking more questions and i. kept. shutting them down. #then when he gave me the icecream he was all 'are you here alone? icecream alone is no fun... i could keep you company if you want..?' #which. he was being really cute about right. but because im so fucking dense i was all 'oh no i came with my mom actually' #and he went 'aw man' in this really cute but faux sad way which i didnt understand at the time and i left and then #after three full fucking days. i realized this man was tryna hit on me? #and then i went to the park like a week later and he was gone. poof. i even thought of asking the uncle in charge of that place #then i got too embarrassed and chickened out #yeah so turns out my neurodivergence neutralizes any sort of rizz that comes my way #i could've been chilling with a cute boyf rn but no😩 this is my destiny #megumi in the tags

Atla live action 😐

#thats my honest reaction 😐 #to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid #like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat #or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already #good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive #to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil #i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better #but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because #it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak #and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but #come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and #makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality #i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was #IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys' #and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall #AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think #plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS #a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason #im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your #audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small #thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small #its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers #i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang #anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and #rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz #netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub #no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same #ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me #i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing #yapping

why am i like, cartoonishly such an ao3 author. can I not have a single break. anyways once again thinking next chapter might be late, very very likely this time because there's two days left and I'm not even half way. my excuse is 1: had a medium allergic reaction where my tongue was swelling, I could barely breathe and it left me feeling very awful the next two days and 2: my mum totally accidentally gave me really strong opioids, the ones I took when I had my wisdom teeth taken out. i was so high I couldn't walk on my own <3 I'm like, fine I guess but my mind has been total brain fog all week and I'm only now pulling out of it. i wish I was making this shit up honestly my life is a clown show!!!!

#sophie speaks #series:www #what is GOING ON WITH ME #i always say like #its never boring with me around #i wish it was #i wish my life was more boring I literally only go outside to go for walks with my dog on the beach idk how this shit keeps happening to me #im laughing but its like. breakdown laughter #ANYWAYS I WAS ONLY GOING FOR MONTHLY ANYWAYS ITS NOT MY FAULT IF I GOT DRUGGED <33 #this tumblr is my diary #'you alright buddy?' 'i dont know if the antibiotic worked lol' 'thats not good buddy' < conversation between me and the headmates

i could never live at the coast because constant exposure would erode its liminality. the beach is the place for me where the veil is thinnest between human and nature, meaning and meaninglessness, thought and sensation, mortality and eternity. i need a place i can go to take me out of myself and into something else, something bigger and older and unable to notice me or care. i go to the coast to be reminded that i am small, that meaning isn't inherent in anything, that on a cosmic scale it doesn't matter if i'm here or if i lived, and by reminding myself of these things i refresh my will to live. there's no reason for me to be here, but i am here. there's no meaning in my life except the meaning i give it. so let me actively choose to be here. let me consciously choose my meaning. and then i go back to my normal daily grind and try to carry that with me as far as possible. if i lived at the coast, my normal daily grind would be occurring in the same place as my transcendence pit stop. that ain't gonna work. it would all become background noise and i'd stop noticing it. to look at the ocean and be thinking about my taxes would disintegrate my soul i think. the beach is my favorite place to be but only because most of the time i'm somewhere else.

#i was walking on the beach today and caught myself thinking about all the chores i'm gonna have to do when i get home #and was like noooooo girl resist resist!!!!! #that's not an ocean thought. go back to thinking about how metaphor is a completely human projection #and how you're a small piece of the universe observing itself yadda yadda #water #<-i really should have a tag just for the ocean. or the beach. but i don't lol #existentialism #my posts #f

this is kubosai core to me, idk how to explain it though,, i just think,, they are Beach boyfriends,,,

#we didnt ever get a beach episode with kuboyasu did we ?? #(we got the island arc ig ? doesnt rlly count) #but we know he went to the beach with kaido #and how he kaido and nendo wanted to take saiki to the beach #idk he just strikes me so much as a beach guy that i honestly forgot that that isn't necessarily canon #its canon to ME ok (thats literally what a headcanon is but sh) #HES JUST A BEACH GUY OK ! TRUST ME ON THIS ONE GUYS I JUST KNOW ! #i still also have an hc that hes scared of deep water (which is the part of the beach that saiki most loves lol) l #but i dont think it effects him much on land #just trust me kubosai love the beach and they go on beach walks and walk on the shoreline during and after the sunset #but anyway that aside i also just really believe that aren is the type of dude to insist on doing silly couple activities like this #they definitely have their fair share of matching sweaters and stuffed animals and mugs #artist kuboyasu also comes into play with that one.. but that goes into my whole hc of artist aren giving kusuo homemade gifts #that post already exists and was really long. i love that hc. #Instagram #saiki k #tdlosk #the disastrous life of saiki k. #saiki kusuo #kuboyasu aren #kubosai #meows post

Fic tags: idiots to lovers, mermaids, himbos like to play matchmaker

Kiss the Boy

Alex always thought of his mate's obsession with humans as something fun and quirky. When two different divers start poking around their favourite shipwreck, and Willie decides they would be perfect for each other, Alex agrees to help him. If only to keep Willie from becoming a trophy in some human's collection.

So obviously, when Willie suggest they steal his father's magic spell book to turn themselves human so they can 'make sure our humans end up together', Alex comes with him.

It does not go as planned.

sending this ask as an excuse for you to go hogwild with peppino/pizza tower chatter bc i like to read it lol

Using this as an opportunity to distract from comms bc im tired of looking at this screen 😭

I think despite the hell Peppino went through, there are some levels/places that he actually enjoyed. Or at the very least, wouldnt mind visiting again. Off the top of my head, i am thinking of the saloon and the beach levels, but also the mini golf area 🥺

While i was playing the game (completely blind), I just assumed the tower was comparable to a real life train hub area; portals just led to different areas and districts. As in, these would be places you could visit outside of the tower if u had the means to take urself there. Its why despite the collapse, in the pepperman comic i did, he still offers to take Peppino to his villa. It still exists, its just that the shortcut the tower provided is gone. (This is also why Peppino and Gustavo can still do deliveries in the forest)

So like, now that the threat of losing his restaurant is gone, hes like. Some of those places looked Okay i guess 😒……. And Gustavo is like (prodding) ‘which places caught ur eye, then?’

Without the towers (pizzaheads) influence spawning in monsters to fight, the mini golf course is very fun. He gets to run Very Fast (already the best thing in the world) for very long periods of time, and smash into things to score goals. And if he wants to be Normal about it, he can just. Play golf the normal way lol (golf is also just a very calm sport to watch. He watches that shit all the time when hes home, and then passes out in his chair without realizing it)

The saloon is always nice to visit. It did blip on his radar as a place to try out, but he wasnt really incentivized to do so until vigilante started inviting him out. He doesnt go out often, but it is nice to have a little friend circle again :)

And the beach is like. Its a beach! Its weird for him; he probably didnt have any time or money to waste on shit like ‘visiting the beach’ before, so he feels out of place w all these people running around and having fun. He just likes to lay down and be in the sun :) He stays late into the evening, and drives back home in his shitty car 🧡 Everyone knows when he does his beach visit bc he tans so easily 😭

#answered #chattin #peppino #long post #i did not put it in the main body of this #but i hc that he does jogs n stuff in the morning #or at least walks; i do it w my mom so shes not bored and SHE does it to keep her knee from fucking up #so i like the idea of him going to the beach early in the morning to jog #and then relax on the beach for the rest of the day #someone teach him how to listen to podcasts; hed love it #also also #i have no idea if theres like #lore™️ about the tower but im stickin w that #i feel like it would get rebuilt anyway bc enough people use it as a proper hub #that having it blown the fuck up may in fact disrupt some peoples daily lives 😭 #peppino is like its ALWAYS been there that wasnt the fucking problem! #the problem was that some fucker came to me like an apparation to tell me it was outfitted w a PIZZERIA BEGONE BEAM!!! #they can build the fucking tower again; just dont give it the fucking death beam; please 😭😭😭😭😭 #i think gerome n them would be way more cautious about who decides to take up residence WITHIN the tower again #maybe they didnt have any say in the matter but Now they do

[jacqcrisis]

You know the writers wanted to have him say 'thank you for being that bitch' but the Council of Proper Fantasy Speak so Nerds Don't Freak Out said no.

#just let him say it larian #please? for me? #i love everythinf about astarion in the furge playthrough #i like how he cares #i like he now calls nieve precious little bhaal babe #im glad they can bind over their love of murder #still like my last playthrough more but...i finally got in the groove of this one #also old gortie boy had to see his ex walk into the coronation with a half a brain and a new main squeeze #he found washed up on beach #get. decimated. gortie. #bg3
