@gayofthefae asked me where these expressions came from and because I love them so much/they still make me laugh daily I’m making a whole post about it. SO.

I give you: the moment Matt Duffer decided that “playing DND for the rest of our lives” was going to haunt the narrative for the rest of the series…solely because he was feeling petty about something MBB said 😂

#I say that in jest but also not really 😂 #Matt ‘say what you want but it’s my story in the end’ duffer coming in HOT with the expressions here lmao #the fact that he’s also using this theme to blow up Mlvn’s relationship too ….pls #*Michael Jordan gif* and I took that personally #LMAO #duffer brothers #Matt duffer #beyond stranger things #stranger things

unfollowing both zak brown and michael….daniel said lemme cut out those toxic hoes

(CW: Harassment, stalking.) I went to the grocery store this afternoon and moments after I set foot in the door, this guy started talking to me. I didn't even realize he was talking to me at first, because he was muttering something about the bus kicking him off and that he didn't know what to do. He then asked me to call him an Uber to New York, even as I was walking quickly to the produce area, and I soon realized that he was matching my pace to keep up with me. He fucking followed me from one side of the store all the way to produce, and perhaps the creepiest thing of all was that he was laughing as he followed me--this awkward, weird laugh, as if this was all supposed to be hilarious.

I literally had to say "Please do NOT follow me!" loudly to get him to stop. But what if he hadn't? He could have had a gun, or a knife, or who knows what, and I feel like I only got lucky that me saying that got him to stop. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with men to think that it's okay to follow a woman (or anyone) like this, but it was incredibly upsetting and I am still shaken up/pissed off from the whole thing...

#why do people do this #i did go to customer service and tell them what happened btw #because i didn't want him to do it someone else #and apparently they knew who he was and were trying to remove him #but what in the actual fucking hell #it's not even what happened that upsets me so much as the fact it took away my sense of security #in the idea that something like that wouldn't happen #not in the grocery store of all places #also i nearly lost my keys in another store after that #this has been a very strange day indeed #anyway i need some gifs and fics to cheer myself up #Michael/David/Ineffable Husbands #whatever anyone has #personal post

#in a strange place today and i need to put this somewhere. i do not have a journal yet. this is it #my grandad was diagnosed with dementia years ago and the grandad i have now is often unrecognisable from the one i grew up with #and while this like isn’t fun and it is strange for him to look at me and not know me more times than he does. it has also been kind of l #lovely? #bc he thinks my granny is still alive so whenever i get to go see him i get to pretend she is too. and she is for a minute. and tho i am #glad she went before him. it is nice to say oh i’m popping in to see her after this grandad and talk about her like she’s hasn’t been gone #since i’ve been ten. my dad has spoken more to him in the last five years than he has his whole life #he was not an easy man. he was loud and friendly and hard working and funny and scary but not easy. in ways he is even #harder now. in others he is easier. #he is more of a child. this is what dementia can do to a brain. we are learning things about his childhood that no one alive has ever spoken #about. that no one knew. my dad doesn’t love him more now but he understands him better #my grandad taught me how to drive a tractor and how to fish through my dad and he has not recognised me in over a year and he #hasn’t walked since he broke his pelvis seven years ago and his muscles are nearly all gone. he is a fraction of the size he used to be. his #personality and body took up my childhood like adults on the screen in cartoons. he hasn’t dressed himself in a decade. he told one of the #nurses that after dinner he wanted ice cream plain like herself and nearly peed when she laughed and told him to fuck off #he is in there. he is himself. i know him. but he isn’t. he doesn’t know me but he allows me to tell him how to ppl he knows are doing. he #still somehow trusts me. we talk a lot about my granny and how she stayed up watching tv again last night so she’s tired today. don’t stay #long when you call in to see her? #whenever we would journey to see him and my granny and get in v late he’d ask us if we wanted apple tart and my granny would say michael. #not ur kids. u can’t parent them. he didn’t know my name yesterday but he asked me if i wanted apple tart #i hope he dies soon. for all that i will miss this. miss my dad having this. he would not want to live like this. it wouldntbe living to him

VERSE — MOVIE ( CONTAINS SPOILERS & CANON DIVERGENT, tw for canon-typical themes & suicide mention )

just to get straight to the point : it's mainly canon divergent in the sense that i will be altering details in order to make mike an afton. do i think this is going to happen in the movie timeline? no. do i think it's more likely that they're going to explain the oddly personal kidnapping through mirroring the emilys? probably. but it's MY michael afton blog and i can put on my tinfoil hat as much as i want about it. of course i am willing to adapt based on other's info / preferences but given that this isn't my main canon anyway it is meant for those that are interested.

Mike thought he knew everything there was to know about what happened to his family: what he was never told is who his real father was. He was too young to remember anything about William Afton before his mom separated herself from him entirely ( one night stand, breakup, what have you, i'm not picky- ), so he always thought of the father he grew up with as his dad, the reality never changed anything about that.

Until he was twelve years old and Garrett went missing, and everything fell apart. William followed the Schmidts there, taking Garrett in a targeted attack ( whether or not he was trying to grab Mike, took him out of spite, anything else is also flexible ). Everything grew solemn and tense, each of the Schmidts lost in their own individual grief. Slowly, they stopped having dinners together, stopped going out as a family, stopped being able to feel like things were normal. The grief and guilt only added to Mike's developing anger issues and depression. Although it wasn't on purpose nor with any malicious intent, his dad was the more distant of his parents at the time, serving as the first hint towards his biological parentage and simply because as much as he cared for mike, he was grappling with losing his biological kid ( think tse henry- well meaning but drowning in grief enough for the child to pick up on it ).

This is where Abby comes in, where the Schmidts have another kid in an attempt to feel like a normal family again. It almost seems to work, although there is still that underlying sense of collective grief. Mike was older by then, too ( while he graduates high school, he either doesn't go to college at all or doesn't finish it ).

Their mom dies and the brief sense of possible stability disappears again. It's when Mike is staying at home again for the funeral/to help with Abby that their father commits suicide, unable to take the grief. Mike has had custody of Abby since then.

The events proceed as they did in the movie, William's recognition of Mike in the office not only stemming from the kidnapping but the fact that it's his kid, although Mike doesn't find anything out beyond the fact that it's the man who took Garrett. There is potential for more hints towards this in past interactions with his aunt or birth records or even his dynamic with Vanessa, but for the most part this specific realization is left open.

Following the movie's events, he... does come home to his aunt in the living room. After reporting her death, Mike actually goes back to Freddy's one more time to get security footage in order to prove his innocence. Afterwards, he does his best to hold down another job to keep taking care of Abby in peace, but something about Freddy's gives him the sense that he'll come back to make sure nothing like this happens again.

One of my favorite character design things I’ve ever done is the little heart patch on c!Tommy.

In my own headcanons, c!Ranboo was the one to start the trend by patching up Tommy’s clothes early on in Logstedshire.

c!Ranboo appeared in the SMP in worn clothes that were quickly turning into rags. When c!Tommy called them out on it and subsequently found out that c!Ranboo didn’t know how to sew, Tommy took it upon himself to teach Ranboo on occasion. This continued into Exile, wherein Tommy would use his own (burnt and torn) clothes as practice material. c!Ranboo decided to add a heart patch to all of Tommy’s shirts because they’re cute like that. Even after Ranboo stopped visiting and Tommy stopped caring about himself, Tommy still kept up the little heart patches.

It was proof he was still alive. He was on his last life, but he was alive.

(when he gets out of prison and holes himself up in fear, Ranboo helps take care of him. They still add those little heart patches to c!Tommy’s shirts. ‘You’re alive, and you’re here with us.’ When Tommy stops having a breakdown at every hint of pain and picks up his needles again, he keeps the heart patches. When c!Ranboo dies, Tommy keeps the heart patches. In his bunker towards the end of days, high off of invisibility potions, he still keeps the heart patches. When he confronts c!Dream one last time, he wears a plain red sweater over a plain white shirt.)

#personal #dsmp #tommyinnit #ranboo #allium duo #the first time Ranboo stitched a heart onto Tommy’s clothes #Tommy embroidered a dick on the back of Ranboo’s #it took Ranboo a solid two weeks to notice it #Ranboo also adds cute shaped patches onto other people’s clothes #little cut out flowers for Tubbo and Niki #fun shapes and quilt-like patterns for Michael #it got more complicated as they got better with practice #but the simple 6-sided heart shape #that’s just for Tommy #allium duo my beloved #I have so many cute headcanons for them #I miss them

Wand IDs Commentary

The Ringer's piece about the Disney channel’s early 2000s rebrand with Express Yourself and Wand IDs had a lot of interesting details that I’ve continued to think about.

Mainly this part stood out to me:

BASICALLY A CHANNEL FOR 6 YEAR OLD GIRLS

We knew Disney needed to appeal to a broader audience when it stopped being part of premium cable (that’s mentioned in the piece), but 6 is far younger than the 8-14ish age group the channel seemed geared towards with Bug Juice, The Famous Jett Jackson, and DCOMs.

Though that does explain the Lizzie McGuire phenomenon and the slapstick humor and physical comedy that is still on the channel.

Then this:

Navy blue and dark red was a Zoog era staple. Apparently, it was OLD even in the early 2000s!

Meanwhile, these brighter colors are NOT old:

Yes, they are less appealing to us senior citizens watching pre-Even Stevens content but to first and second graders they are fash 👏 en 👏 uh 👏 bull.

On a positive note, this made me laugh:

We miss you, Michael Galeota.

And learning that Boomers boycotted Disney and petitioned against the cancellation of Vault Disney made me realize our own work to keep So Weird alive has not been the first. 

We’ve just been more fortunate to have been successful with it. To be in this fandom with our old people aesthetic means we have a lot to be grateful for.

The puppets are so cute, I'd love to see a Michael and/or Helen puppet if you can!

Why not both!

#ask #tma #the magnus archives #the muppet archives #tma distortion #tma helen #tma micheal distortion #art #my art #was surprised to see michael was described to have shoulder length ringlets #then had to google what ringlets are #in this muppetverse i like to think that they just took the michael puppet and redesigned it for helen #another idea is that normal people giving statements/guest voices just show up as people #so youd see helen as a real person and then as the puppet #also michael is naked because i imagined him to be similar to scp96 #so clothes didnt make sense to me #helen tho has a whole hotel service vibe #clairebearsparkles #phone doodles #ibis paint
