#40 never looked better

[anthonycrowley]

like also i think there’s something to be said about the fact that no one actually ever thought stucky was gonna go canon. that’s not why we did all that. we did that in spite of it never going canon actually.

#people voting gentlebeard will never understand the joy of looking at some dudes from the 40s in a marvel property and going #is anyone gonna smash them together like dolls? and not waiting for an answer #anyway sometimes pairings that will never go canon are better. i say this as a gentlebeard stan. the mcu that lives in my brain #is simply something people who were not on tumblr in 2014 cannot comprehend #text #my post #mobi

#its been almost 2 years im on tumblr and i still feel like im not growing #i keep looking at my art and think ooh im getting better #but it seems like public opinion is the complete opposite #meanwhile i go to another artist and they keep improving and improving and everyone supports them #and the support keeps increasing and increasing and its not stopping #and it looked so easy for them #and it never worked on me #none of this works #so now i think my art is ugly and i hate it #but i dont want to stop because i will hate myself if i choose to stop #so now i will be trudging around with this ugly art while everyone stares at me with hatred #because how could someone as ugly as me is allowed to continue #hey mass report this fag #i bet people do that #while we support other artist in front of them so they feel much worse #and the worst is when people say oh you just need to post frequently #but i did #every day #and its so humiliating seeing a post that its like #10 likes 40 rb #and those rbs are all by myself #because i keep self reblogging my art because im proud of it #while people unfollow because how dare i put these shitty art on their dashboard #and i hate every moment like this #and its happening on every single art i post #i ended up taking a break #its probably a bad idea since all of my pages are in a bad state right now #twitter shadowbanned tumblr blocked and ignored #and my patrons keep leaving bcs just this month several people joined and then left within 1-2 days maybe because i dont post everyday #but its ok i think when everyone starts leaving i can do a restart

i literally cannot wait until there is actually other life sim games like the sims that are actually publicly available to play!!! like Tiny Life is out now and i do definitely want to play it but... come 2024 we might have Life by You and perhaps Vivaland in our hands... also i am Really Really awaiting Paralives as well i am PRAYING for a release date to be announced. like i will exercise as much patience as i can but tbh ts4 is depriving me (i only have base game + my first pet stuff + desert luxe kit so i dont have 95% of the gameplay i want .) and i would love to just be able to have something else to play too??

#affie txt #lby is coming in march 2024 i think and i am EXCITED i hope it is good when it comes out... i am tempted #and i dont. know much about vivaland but MULTIPLAYER LIFE SIM??? IM INTRIGUED #finally . my friends can watch me build square houses in real time #i am still incredibly interested in Tiny Life tbh... i played the demo and its really cute 🥺 #it really is tiny life... wow... #and its moddable!!!! plus since its pixel art i could probably pretty easily mod in custom clothes and hairs and stuff #life sims being moddable is so important btw like actually. i genuinely think since like #life sims are so open-ended and customizable by design that NOT having mod support is genuinely a HUGE downside #though of course ts4 also. doesnt have official mod support or modding tools which is a bummer but i mean #ive simply accepted that the sims series just. will never have official modding support #especially with the new one supposedly being f2p 😰 #THIS IS NOT A SIMS 4 HATE POST I SWEAR its just . i really wish it was just a 40-60$ game #and all the dlc content was just INCLUDED in the base game for that price #i genuinely would be 100% okay with that price!!! sure its a bit expensive but like #COMPARED TO 1000+ USD FOR THE FULL GAME + DLC EXPERIENCE ITS . A LOT BETTER #like ill happily pay for ur game!!!! but i will Not get out a literal Loan to be able to afford it #sigh. anyways i am really looking forward to the new life sims coming out!!! #i think lby will probably come out first so im excited to get my hands on it hehe

the bear tag is so full and busy. really feel like i did my job for season one and now i can just rest and reblog.

#the bear #truth is im stuck at ep9 31:40 #its past midnight but i keep coming back to it #its the song its the bright light its #the under the table minimal space moment #its the back to back listening to e/o concerns #and carm finally wording how much syd’s coming into the restaurant #into his life #shaking his space and craft #‘made him better at this’ #and the cook talk… feeling like the most intimate shit #the eye contact and smile and complice contentment #and what if she just like completely melt and fail #he wont let you… he’ll stay by ur side #she looked for re-assurment in their partnership the whole time #and he is really.. There #the song?? god. #the light never been this warm #let me rewind

My controller's "X" button is completely trashed because of the time I was playing Rain World, last year...

#It's sort of wiggly like a loose tooth. #Unparalleled usage of the jump input in Rain World honestly... #I should continue playing it at some point. #It's such a good game. #It is technically a difficult game but I am a huge fan of being punished for being alive. #I need to finish the Hunter playthrough... and Artificer. #Artificer has made me better and more confident at fighting but that doesn't make the Metropolis easier. #I didn't really talk about my Artificer playthrough but I think the worst area was Chimney Canopy. #'Groundhog Day' puts it lightly. The utter repetitions... The cycles... Hah. #CC starved me so I was always one extra den away from... Whatever zone Pebbles is in (I forget the name by now). #It isn't just not being able to hibernate but not being able to drag a Scavenger with you. #I must have replayed the same day 15 times with slight variations before I got lucky. #A cycle isn't completely random. The same creatures are likely going to follow the same paths for that day. #So you can learn to anticipate certain things... #Kill a 40 Scavs in the long tunnel that leads to 3 different zones... Then grab one with high karma and get out alive to the canopy. #Then... spend 10 minutes going between tunnels as 3 King Vultures piss about looking for you. #Then... take a risk and ascend and go right as a normal vulture follows you. #Something something profit... #I have never been so happy to see a karma gate in my life. #Artificer's bomb jump is exquisite for the ascent to that gate. #Rain World #Since I recall my last adventure so much in the tags...

i think deciding to make a sweater as my next project and then deviating from the pattern was like. the dumbest thing i could've chosen to do but im not giving up im gonna see this thru

#me.txt #crowcheting #<- no image of the project bcuz its just a cuff rn but im counting it lol #the pattern calls for single-crochet bl-only to make the cuffs #and to make it 30 rows wide #however i chose to make my life more difficult and i think slip-stitch bl-only looks better. so ive been doing that #im almost at 30 rows and its like. about three quarters to half the size it should be to be a comfortable width around #(ive been judging its width based on my wrist and the cuff of my favorite hoodie) #so its gonna be. a Lot longer. than 30 rows. probably 40-50 #idk how to adjust the pattern to meet that ive never done this before #but like. how hard could it be #IVE RESTARTED THE CUFF TWICE IM NOT RESTARTING AGAIN TO FOLLOW THE PATTERN I DONT THINK IT'D EVEN MAKE THAT BIG A DIFFERENCE #AND SINGLE-STITCH BL-ONLY RIBBING LOOKS UGLY. FIGHT ME

the perspective of looking at new jersey apartments again makes me glad im living where im at now, honestly ... ^^ ''

#i SO wish i could hop over there though ... the price of living is SOOO high and the pay doesnt match even a little #its bad everywhere .. but new jersey's got a special kind of sickness like that because of its nyc proximity #everyone lives there and commutes to the city like 1.5hrs away for the better pay . but i just lived there lol #i feel like compared to here everything in jersey's tinged an ''old'' way .. #i dont know how to describe it but EVERYTHING from the stores to the apartments has a ''grandma's house'' feel #a ''hasn't been updated in 40+ years'' feel #and austin's so new and booming. apparently. but i agree it doesnt have that old tinge to it #the apartment im living in isnt new. but it isnt old either. it doesnt have the feel to it #i thought it was just nostalgia speaking but looking at nj apartments today was like. oh wow. its nice to know im not going crazy #this same apartment in nj would be SO SO SO much more expensive. people here complain about prices (they SHOULD. its bad) #but looking at where i was and why i HAD to move elsewhere .. i remember now yknow. this place is a luxury i could never have had in nj #which doesnt mean its good. its sad. i wish things were different. i DO .. sort of .. wish i never moved out here to begin with #but im glad im here. i feel like ... you know when a hero goes on a quest and makes friends along the way and then .. doesnt return home .. #even though the quest was supposed to be a transitory period .. yknow .. maybe im just home now #atleast awhile longer. im happy calling here home awhile longer #i do kinda miss that old tinge to it. i always said everything in nj was like .. ''tinged yellow '' .. and it really is. yknow. #i just need to put some antiques and lighting into my apartment. lol. feels just like home

which fic that i’m never gonna finish should i work on today

#BRO SOMEONE REBLOGGWD A POST FROM 2022 #and i went back to read it #and almost deleted all my old fics #keeping them to look back to in my 70’s but holy shit i get embarrassed sometimes #i promise i write better now guys i’m just one petrified to post and two #never satisfied #and three writi these long ass 30k + #things that will be done in my 40’s #hei and ken and mingyu and chan are all occupying my skull horifically #ive been making playlists for them and sprinting and only fucking outlining and theyre all 20k plus what in the fuck will they end up at #jfc #tophee talks

A new picture of snoots take because I think it's been awhile since I posted one. He loves going under his water dish (it used to be snakeys but I rehomed him)

((I ended up venting in the tags about why I rahomed snakey))

#snakes #snake #snoot the hognose #my pets #i do miss snakey but i was the best thing in hindsight he was draining all of the energy i had for pet care #he only ever ate live consistently and i only got a car 3 days ago #and the only place that sells snake food for a good price is a 40 minute bus ride away #and my job put me on a opposite sleep scedule to him it got to the point where i would be geting ready for bed see him awake #and feel nothing but dread and then he wouldn't even eat so i stayied up for nothing #i got him to eat frozen for like 2 years but he would never eat it in the winter but then i moved him into a 4x2x2 #because the tank snoot was in was agravating my anxiety and i figured upgradeing both of them was a good idea #but he only ever ate frozen twice in that take maybe 5 times total as i got him live so he wouldn't starve #i brought him to a localy owned reptile store and they said he looked healthy and they weren't woried about getting him to eat #i got snaky when i was 13 and had no idea what i was doing snoot kinda taught how nice it was to have a snake that would eat frozen thawed #right as i was becoming an adult that had to take more responsibility for my pets #all in all it was a good desition because i would not have had the energy to make snoots take as nice as it is now or get marcus at all let #let alone plan on makeing his life better #wow geez i just vented alot but the situation around snakey was complicated and emotional for me #and i did post a few picures a long time ago and i dont think i ever said what happed to him #also i blame petsmart for everything they told me the 13 year old that he was only eating live but not my mom #she apparently only found out when she looked at his paperwork he shouldn't have even been out where people could see him

as one indigenous mun to another? go give love to @postguilt, please. they’re putting up with some bullshit today because how dare they share their experiences and it not be centered on white voices.

#ooc #[ my family escaped to america to avoid sterilization and residential schools aka genocide ] #[ let’s call it what it was ] #[ and my mom and most of her siblings were taken away by the state of Minnesota ] #[ my mother and uncle were taken after great grandma died ] #[ my mom’s baby sister was taken when she was two under the threat of all of the remaining kids going if she wasn’t taken ] #[ they were marked as wards of the state and sent to schools where they were bolted and strapped to chairs ] #[ for most of the hours of the day ] #[ my mother was sent to a facility near the canadian border and she never would tell me what happened there ] #[ she just told me she escaped by lighting her mattress on fire and using it to escape ] #[ she never had a chance to graduate ] #[ but neither did my grandmother because my mom was probably a product of being r*ped ] #[ by like a 40+ something white man when she was 16 ] #[ which is why she never told us who he was ] #[ and I never did either ] #[ so many miles for a better life and we’re still crawling ] #[ ‘but you look white!’ yeah because it’s lie there and take it or die world for indigenous women ] #[ so thanks I guess ] #[ well this was not where I meant to go with the tags but okay dokey ]

I really miss Dragon Age 2.

#I’m not sure I can say it was the best one? technically speaking Origins probably is? but it was the one that I liked the story of most. it #hit me deepest. that messed me up but I also loved it. and it was much better designed for cause and effect #dragon age 2 #inquisition is frustrating because half the time - especially w War Room - you pick as well as you can based on all the info you /have/ at #your disposal and it goes ‘hehe you picked Lelianna’s ‘let’s be cautious and scout first’ ^u^ over Josephine’s ‘let’s ask the nobles if they #can help intel gather’ and Cullen’s ‘let’s send our soldiers to look around’. 300 people died ^u^’ #so if you want good results you either re-load or use a guide bc there’s little sense to it & you’re constantly punished not for really your #own choices but just arbitrarily. I used a guide like 3 times the entirety of DA2. I use them constantly for DAI becuase every time I go ‘im #just gonna play normally : )’ ten minutes later I tell some girl the wardens seem cool & she immediately gets brutally murdered #also they constantly have NPcs there to tell you something and die seconds later and it’s so annoying??? in every other DA game you can heal #and save NPCs you find injured but now they go ‘tell my wife…I’m sorry…’ and die and you have a quest to tell their wife ‘sorry I didn’t #give her one of the 40 health potions I was carrying’ or some idiocy. I have NOT ONCE been able to save by healing an NPC when in every #other game I had MANY chances. no heal even EXISTS as a spell in DAI when it’s a basic skill in every other game??? #also the quests are structured so badly half the time I walk into a house and kill a monster and Varric goes ‘ah the High Beam Killer dead #at last’ and I won’t know what the fuck he’s saying At All but some quest marked Spooky Mansion is marked completed and I gain exp without #ever remotely knowing what the quest was in the first place #in DA2 when I got punished I deserved it. in Act3 the Mages with Grace suspected me of turning them in bc I tricked the Templars instead of #killing Thrask and that made sense. I did pick a slightly less safe outcome to protect him. i absolutely never betrayed them but I did take #a risk that put /them/ at risk and it made sense for her to distrust me. In DAI my friends get killed because I’m Qunari no matter what I do #at the war table before or after and they just give me pointless missions about it so I have the illusion of choice and consequence #DAI is obsessed with Only Bad Outcome quests because the Devs are centrists who think there’s no right answer to fucking anything and it #deeply damages the story structure and the quest load out #(I don’t hate DAI I’m just venting. I enjoy many many parts of it. but some I want to destroy rabidly with a hammer)

hhhgh it kind of sucks that my mother is so frugal sometimes actually

#like i get it and i kind of apprecoate that ive taken some of her frigalness with me #since i dont make a whole lot and need to have that savings #but also like. this is specifically about christams #bc she asks us every year for our christmas lists and i almost never know what to put bc. idk what i want. #but this year im like 'ya know. i DO actually really want some doc martens or converse.' #but i know that of i put those i wont get them #im sure ill get SOME shoes of i put those but. idk it would be nice to have smth name-brand for once ya know?? #like. almost nothing i have is any kind of name brand. and its a stupid thing to be upset over but. hhh. #i like the stiff i do have but its like. idk. sometimes you just want the thing thats really nice. #and its not even that she CANT afford the name brand bc she can. its just that shes. cheap. #if i put doc martens im sure id get some boots #even boots that look a lot like doc martens. #but. theyll be like /maybe/ $40 boots and rheyd probably end up falling apart if i wore them with any frequency #and ik this bc ive had to buy many boots. bc they keep falling apart. #i may try anyway. but. im just sad bc i know better than to hope i actually get them. #shh ac

m.axi thoughts. they don't stop, huh?

#okay but theyve never stopped- ive liked this guy since i was a very small ash aksjaksj #he's just so... 😳 yeah #he's so handsome and funny and cute.. and he's so strong! he's a little dumb but i love that about him too! #i've been thinking about them in the 5th game a lot #so much older now and theyve sorta sorted through everything. ash has her guy back. theyre both pretty messed up from #(gestures to the previous games) but theyre together #also you know how his aging slowed down bcs of the cursed sword? yeah ash doesnt have that shit going on #she very much looks like a woman in her 40s- the kids (l.exia x.iba and n.atsu) are all :O when she mumbles that hes actually older #i especially love thinking about them at night. their cuddles are so soft. ash has a scar on her back from a.staroth #and sometimes he just gets lost in the past seeing that scar #he thinks about everything he lost. and ash just holds him #oh but mostly theyre just the cool aunt and uncle in 5- love that for them. they had more than enough angst in the 4th game LMAO #oh okay alright real quick. story time. okay so i have a m.axi keychain on my bag (i'm gonna add my k.ilik and x.ianghua one too!) #(gotta complete the trio! s.c4 may have separated them but im better than that! muahaha!) #and this guy stops me and is like 'o shit is that maxi?' 'oh haha yeah! hes my favorite 🥰' #and the guy just looks at me for a second. then looks all disappointed. 'oh.. oh youre a m.axi main..' #yes??? so sorry if hes annoying to play against- hes so fun! anyways @that random stranger #not only do i play him #i smooch him too 🤭 #(i didnt say that part out loud) #anyways where was i #right. m.axi. what a guy am i right? #oh and dont even get me started on his voice- #we're down bad this afternoon! #i love him so much akdjqksj he really is the funky pirate guy of my dreams #ash rambles 💚 #okay yeah this one was actually a ramble LMAO

tired of seeing all this 'Clean Girl Aesthetic' nonsense??

Well boy howdy do i have the solution for you! I call it the Dirty Anti Woman and it's where i do my absolute best to look completely disheveled, ill, and greasy-looking and avoiding showers like i'll die if you touch a bar of soap to my bare skin

#clean girl #clean girl aesthetic #bullshit #i mean it's none of my business if u like skincare and it's fun for u but can u stop posting it on every goddamn corner of the universe ffs #also i resent the subtle implication that u r better than me just bc u look like a 30 year old glistening newborn #and smell like 83 exotic and expensive and subtly scented oils creams and pastes #and i look like if bellatrix lestrange got cut off from her rich family then went brunette in a fit of mental illness #and smell like stale chips and piss #istg every time i stumble across another 40 step tutorial of some white woman desperately trying to look like a glowing smooth skinned baby #gently misted like a vegetable in the produce section of martin's #i go stand outside with no sun protection and scrunch my face wildly for several minutes why because fuck you that's why #you are human you were never made to stay this clean & scentless & sterile #foaming at the mouth #you ARE human and you WILL age-- and one day even die!!!!!-- and there is nothing you can do to stop it ahahAH!!!
