#i was winning until like last week

[steeleyespan]

secret to me not getting the hate life hate world hate job hate self thoughts constantly and general feeling of dread is to sleep somewhat normally and yet every night the allure of going through lists of plant species on wikipedia is too powerful to resist

#i was winning until like last week #its likd ifi dont sleep enough its over if i sleel too much its also over #i also seriously forgot how exhausting my dreams are cos id been smoking weed near constantly for lik e. 2 years so i never dreamed #I literally. literally am fine its just annoying because i will be chilling and enjoying my swlf its just lije. #the evil wolf from the 2 wolves inside you metaphor is louder and tellkng me to kms all thr time when I'm tired #used to it i would lije to enjoy ma knitting tho

Pretty privilege is Matty winning GBBO instead of Josh.

#GBBO #bake off #like josh was consistent the whole week and won the technical #and matty's technical was raw #but i guess we're just gonne disregard that #and also bully josh when it came to his showstopper #like unnecessarily mean #the way the editing was going I knew matty was gonna win bc i've seen enough drag race to recognize producer meddling #full out they would have found a way to give it to dan if he hadn't fucked it up so badly #but you could tell the producers just were not interested in josh the whole season but was clearly the best one there #so they tore him down for stupid reasons in the finale just to give it to the hot one #and this was such a good season of bake off right up until tasha went home over matty last week

Okay so if we go with the "Scar kinda suffers the agonies indefinitely cause he keeps pressing the button forever but keeps getting the same task" idea, how are we gonna explain him not just. Pressing fail. Or reroll for hard. Or hell, just going with the classic and throwing himself off a cliff like his soulmate did in season one?

#trafficblr #goodtimeswithscar #“imagine him there for weeks” #okay but like #i think at that point #we just jump off a cliff #right? #i just dont know #if this angst is as long lasting #as we think it is #don't get me wrong #the idea of him not ever being able to truly 'win' that task #very poetic. very neat. #angsty even. #him having to press fail? #or kill himself like grian did for him in season one? #neat #nifty #but also i know a lot of people like the “hes there forever now” angle #(or until the next game at least)

tfw you waited for half an hour for the bus to take you home after two softball games and finally just go 'fuck it i'll walk' and two minutes later you hear the bus pull up at the stop behind you but you know you're too sore to go back in time and you're too far away from the next stop to meet the bus there and you decide to commit to walking and realize it was a good decision because even though the walk took you twice as long as normal no other busses passed you the whole way back

#relatable content. #we lost our first game but won the second! last year we didn't win our first game until like two weeks before playoffs so it was exciting #and i got some good plays in and even managed two base hits #but i am tired and sore now. thinking im going to treat myself to delivery for dinner #j rambles #gpoy

how long does gege plan to continue this actually

#it’s getting repetitive dude #like yeah okay. sukuna is the strongest smartest most amazing pookie wookie schnookums and you draw him with one hand every week. we get it #atp it goes beyond my favs js dying or something but this is genuinely just bad writing lmao #every 5 chaps its like ‘oh sukuna is in trouble! blah blah nevermind he wins again!’ #and gege is continuing this for so long i’m boutta start being inclined to believe the series just ends in sukuna winning #which would be the worst possible ending bc like #wtf did we do this entire last arc for #and instead of giving us some more lore (even abt the favorite child plotkuna) gege just repeats the same process he’s had since gojos death #WHICH WAS IN SEPTEMBER. WE CURRENTLY HAVE MARCH #idk man maybe this is just me being a complaining little loser but i don’t care tbh #gege isn’t doing himself or us a favor with this lmao #but aaaanyways #jjk #jjk 253 #jjk manga spoilers #n e ways until that monocle cat comes up with something new i’ll focus my attention on the sand movie i watched yesterday (and on saturday!) #shit truly was generational denis villeneuve i have never doubted you ever #dune 2 was *chefs kiss*

[mayclair]

the party going roadtrips would be so fucking chaotic but in like the best way

#lucas wouls drive bc he’s the ildest and the most responsible the standard is not high tho but he wins when they vote #max and mike would argue over who gets to call shotgun and everyone gets so fed up that el ends up being the one sitting there #then the two of them would find something else to argue over ie the aux and who gets the last fry until everyone yells at them to shut up #el is facinated by literally everything #will knows how excited she is so he finds the best places for her to see <3 <3 #he attempts to draw in the car and gives up after five minutes bc the bumps are annoying . whatever he draws is still better than all of #the rest of their artworks combined tho #dustin takes pictures of literally everythign bc he like el is also facinated by the not so giant ball of yarn on the side of the road #they stop for pee breaks eveyr hour bc when one of them needs to go the others won’t bc they don’t feel like it but half an hour later it’s #OH SHIT I NEED TO GO #lucas is So Fed Up #occassionally max and lucas will hold hands over the dashboard controls when she’s riding shorgun #and is usually followed by lots of loud booing sounds (mike and will) and awws (dustin and el) from the backseat #their trips would last like 1 - 2 weeks over summer break so half a month of eating nothing but greasy unhealthy food they enjoy it very mu #stranger things

Everyone on here thats shocked people were rooting for jake over austin and dee like... Do you not know the fandom almost unversally hates showmances And steamroll alliances.

#survivor 45 #same as big brother basically #mine #i think dee deserved a win #but it doesnt mean the reba 4 werent boring to watch until the last few weeks when they started unraveling #and even then i didnt like drew or julie at all so

I adore WinTeam but P’Pruek is the true delight.

His face when Win told him and Dean that he had already slept with Team.

Truely the expression of a man who is well-meaning but about to smile very widely at the kind of psychological damage that has been suddenly unleashed on him

#between us the series #between us #happy we got at long last more manow - i love her #this episode was kind of filler but hopefully they got most of the sponsorships out of the way like this #the teamwin scenes in the beginning felt a bit disconnected because of it but i adored the last bit where they each spoke to their friends #abotu their feelings #much to dean's honest concern and breaking p'preuk's mind #i was ready for standard drama and probably would have liked it but i also like the implicit angst of both of them thinking they're one-side #ly in love (my kind of idiots) #and how jarring it must be to hear your crush talk about having had sex with you to his friends while you yourself haven't even mentioned be #ing interested in the guy before your own friends #just tastiness all around #happy we got win and his brothers but i couldn't care less about bumblebee and prince #again: cannot wait until next week #maybe it is the red herring for this week with last week's preview but why do i feel like team's night time practice will be far more dramat #ic than the preview suggests? #to be fair to p'pruek: i didn't expect win to tell them that he had slept with team already #also respect dean being a friend but still watching out for no juniors getting hurt

#i am soooooo glad i did not have to see this trophy in the hands of another #it belongs to us #this is such an important win! #i feel like last year they already knew they could beat anybody but they didn’t really know that this year until now #and now they’ve just gotta beat turcs’ ex next week 😈

Under the tentative five-year agreement, existing full and part-time UPS Teamsters will earn $2.75 more per hour in 2023, and $7.50 more per hour over the length of the contract. Wages for existing part-timers will also be raised to no less than $21 per hour, effective immediately, according to a Teamsters statement. New part-time hires at UPS will start at $21 per hour and advance to $23 per hour.

#ups #ups strike #news #a few bucks more an hr and a raised minimum from 16.50 (what i made while i was still union last summer) to 21 #(what my union ppl make currently anyway) #now im not *sure* but if the raise to 23 doesnt kick in until next yr means it wont apply to peak season (december) #sooo overtime will be like 32.50 and from next year forward it'll be 34.50 #for reference... in 2021 when i started i believe i started at 25 an hr/that's what was advertised to me when i applied #a tiny win imo. i mean the min 21 during low season IS good for sure. that 16.50 period was roughhhh #but eh #anyway can we fucking hire people now???? i should not be doing union work 4/5 days a week as a supervisor/manager yet here i fucking am

@pizzee Thank you for the tagging me to join in on the TV show tag game! I have the exact opposite problem to you in that I watch way too many shows. There's so many I've watched in the last few months alone that I've absolutely loved (Andor, Severance, Poker Face, The Sandman, The Last of Us, Vox Machina, etc etc) but for this I think I'll stick with the ones that I've connected to and cherished the most of the years. It wasn't required or even asked for but all of you are getting Backstory™ for these whether you like it or not. Anyway, in no particular order, here they are:

Moon Knight: Wow, I like the show that is now my defining personality trait? Shocker. But, no, seriously, I don't think I've latched onto a show or group of characters so quickly in my life, or so intensely before. This show has (as of posting this) made me write almost 200k worth of fic about it. I got bloody Discord because of this show because the brainrot was so intense. I am part of a fandom community for really the first time in my life because of this show. It's no exaggeration to say that this show has had a huge impact on me; the dinosaurs got off easy in comparison.

Lucifer: I started watching this show when Season 2 premiered way back in 2016 and I was there watching it up until the end. It was silly and emotional and heartwarming and campy, and the characters were amazing (do I own shirts that Ella Lopez wore in the show? Yes, yes I do.) and the music was excellent. This show loved the heck out of metaphors, and I am not immune to that. Or Tom Ellis.

The Owl House: I used to be obsessed with owls when I was younger (the 'Owls of Ga'Hoole' movie was my jam, and—I'm sorry Zack Snyder directed that??? What the f—ahem, sorry, as I was saying:), and while that particular interest faded over the years, I do remember I was drawn to this show because of the name, and then the premise, and then the characters (Hunter gets a gold star for making me go "argh this guy is annoying" to "I would die for him" within a span of two appearances), and then so, so many things. I've loved a lot of cartoons, many of which deserve a spot on this list, but this one just hits so many of the right notes for me. I will die mad that Disney robbed us of a full season 3, but I will always cherish what we got.

Adventure Time: The first show I ever binged in full, and essentially what kickstarted my career as a Tumblrite (my logo was Marceline for many a year—if you find my *gag* Wattpad account it'll still be there). I still have doodles for this show from when I was 14 (many of which were Bubbline, which was also my first ship). I am the silly little Tumblr fool I am today because of this show.

Avengers: Earths Mightiest Heroes: I used to watch this show on TV as a kid, random episodes here and there, never enough to truly understand what was going on but enough to know the characters. It was how I first came to know Marvel, long before I even liked superheroes, and it was the reason I watched 'The Avengers', which in turn was the reason I went and saw 'Age of Ultron' (the first MCU movie I ever saw at the cinema) and then, well, the rest is history. But it all started here, with this show. (Also, let's be real, the theme song slaps.)

Doctor Who: specifically the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctor's seasons, though I love Ten's as well (even if 'Midnight' and the following Library episodes—episodes I now adore—scared me off from the show for almost 7 years). I might have also been a little in love with Clara. This show has made me sob with true and utter grief (musical motifs that will make you cry without warning and other secrets your Doctor won't tell you!) and also made me feel like I'm taking acid. It's got the range darling.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood: I've watched this whole thing three times. It's just…It's good. It's really good. The world, the characters, the animation/visuals, the god damn narrative. I'm still in awe of how masterful this anime was. I aspire to this level of multilayered, intelligent storytelling… and also the level of comedy. It too has the range. And god I love when shows can do that well.

Bee and Puppycat: I used to watch the YouTube series for this (along with 'Bravest Warriors' and a bunch of other Cartoon Hangover shorts) as a tween and it's just a very fond, cosy memory for me. And now there's the Netflix version and it's been wonderful to not only get more of what was already there, but more to the story in general. My childhood self is being tucked into bed and wrapped in a blanket, content in the knowledge that things left unfinished are not always over.

That really is the tip of the iceberg of all the shows I've loved over the years but we'd be here for a month of Sundays if I went on about all them, so I'll take my leave now and pass on the baton. I'm going to tag @yellowocaballero, @mockspector, @theophagism and @aster-o1d. Have fun! :3

#tag game #tv shows #my stuff #nothing makes you realise just how many tv shows you've consumed until you have to narrow it down to eight #i'm sure there are many i've forgotten that i'll probably remember tomorrow and go shit they deserved to be on the list but whatever #i like to consume stories i will not apologise #(i've literally watched three whole shows in the last two weeks alone all of which i've really enjoyed) #you guys should just be glad I didn't start listing my favourite episodes for each of these shows #the desire to be mysterious and vague versus the insatiable urge to talk about things i like with people who might also like the thing #guess which one keeps winning? #hint: you had to scroll to read this entire post #anyway none of these are particularly niche shows so i have no doubt some of you have watched these which hey! cool! i like your taste #and you probably really like found family huh? #yeah i see you

When Dean said I need a damn win. Emotionally I am there

#I know it'll be okay but I'm also sick to death of saying it'll be okay and just grinning and bearing it #you know what last week was? Thursday my mom and I planned to have a girls day and just. everything went wrong and we went home early #Friday I planned to go to a friend's house for a gaming night and had an allergic reaction from dinner when I got there and had to go home #Saturday I woke up sick #and today is now my 8th day of being sick with barely any improvement #Friday I had a doctor's appointment and got concerning blood test results that I won't know more #about until I get the opinion of my other doctor on the 6th #so. I'm not having a good time. I would like a damn win actually #vent post #em rambles #personal #when I say last week I don't mean Thursday like a few days ago I mean last Thursday before that #and my doctors appointment was this Friday not last Friday. sorry I worded it confusingly I have a headache and I'm tired

#it's sucks so much that like 6 weeks later i still feel meh about tl and it's just made me bitter and fed up with it that im not looking- #-forward much to emmys #im only here for the actors nominated and any non-writer noms... #i will not shut up if the finale wins for best writer let that be known #regression of two male characters for last minute love triangle sh*t... trying to give keeley a girl boss ending when they didn't even show #-her being a boss in her own storyline... #ruining all the r/k scenes for s1 and 2 so what would be the point of a rewatch... #making ted so detached and tbh the ep felt detached too and sending him back to kansas when rebecca had an offer right there and not even- #talking with his family all because of his mother showing up once and doing a tell but not show about henry #yes his son is important but ted is more than existing for his son and the last shot just felt like he was d*ad inside #their lead female character's big plot about finally getting someone to love who will treat her right in her life because she wants it... #only for the said guy to be some guy who showed up half way through the show and had barely 20 mins of screen time with her and most of it- #-was him being creepy pushing her boundaries (like ohhh he made her dinner and washed her clothes and didn't hurt her the bare minimum) and #-giving them t/r 1x02 callbacks which was a kick to the face #never mention him again only once after the ep and no seeing him until the last f*cking second on no seeing them together in the montage #quickly shoved in dude who is dutch!ted #freaking teased t/r throughout s3 knowingly with the matchbook and soldier and hallway moment and having ted pining for her in the ep she- #was with boat guy #they have actual build up and it felt natural to go there but they shoved her in with a random dude #and they made a wedding for a toxic ab*sive couple that one writer thinks isn't abusive and also made t/r fans feel sh*t for seeing the- #-love with scenes and parallels THEY WROTE #THEY ACTED... #so yeah f*ck that they don't deserve that win

It's true sometimes others doubting you really is the best motivation :))

#you read this everywhere but i think it can be true #at least for me it was #last spring we had this tennis training camp with the team i play in #a week prior i played a match against this woman from my team which i won 6:2 6:3 #during dinner in the camp she brought that up and said she was surprised she lost against me #and that she was anoyed because she shouldn't loose against me #i found that a bit funny tbh 😅 even back then because she lost quite clearly #at no point was she leading or my victory was in danger in the last set i was even up 5:0 and i just gave away points lightly #well i didn't say anything but the motivation it gave me 😄 #so i thought to myself i will show you no one will underestimate me again :) #i just love playing tennis anyway and improving my game but this gave me a lot of extra motivation #then i had a good tennis season with my first singles wins and trained a lot during the summer until up today #many hours a week when i had no uni at times like 5× a week for 2 hours or sometimes even 4 #i'm so looking forward to playing her again 😀 she will be so surprised with my tennis because it's levels above how i played back then #no but it's not so much about her it was more a i'll show you for myself proving myself how much is possible #now everyone can see it that i'm good and getting praise for my quick improvement and good play 😁 #also it's amazing how much you can improve if you put in the time and effort #and i'm really looking forward to summer and our next season using everything i learned in a match #takeaway if someone doesn't think you're good at something that isn't necessarily true #it can mean nothing and you can still show them what you can do i think it can be amazing motivation #her words were just what i needed #that being said i have nothing against her she is a nice person and we always got along fine 😊 #unfortunately she is injured now so it will be some time until i play her again i hope she gets well soon... #maybe i should thank her one day for the extra motivation 😂 #using tumblr as my diary 😂 what else do i have to do in the train 😂 #others opinion of you doesn't determine what you can do ☺️✌️

Have I written for Nano in the last 4 days? No. But have I knitted 3 hats while teaching myself two new stitches and reminding myself how to do two more? Yes. Am I bothered by any of this? Maybe??? But mostly no.

#Look first it was burn out and now I think my brain is just sulking that this novel-length fic #is actually going to take a novel-length amount of time to finish #and sure I could push myself to return to the Nano grind now #but what's the point when it's still going to take me until the end of January AT NANO PACE to finish this fic? #I know I can't maintain that pace for longer than 5 weeks so seriously what's the point of burning myself out #if the fic isn't even going to be finished for two plus months? #Like I'll just chill and play with other skills thanks #I've already proven I can win Nano with relative ease #I know I'm going to finish this story. I've proven I can finish stories in the last couple of years too #So whatever #I'll lose the arbitrary deadline if it means I can finish the fic while still having a life #That's fine
