Five literally has more outfit changes in a 2min 23 sec trailer of season 3 than he did in both seasons 1&2 combined and it's beautiful.

Now let him take a nap.

#tua #the umbrella academy #let this man catch a break #He literally spent 40 years alone #Then had to work as a hitman for time police #The poor guy tried to stop the apocalypse not once but twice just to save his family in the span of like two weeks #He deserves a nap #five hargreeves #number five #aidan gallagher

Hi, anon that asked about where to watch the show here. I managed to find it.

INCREDIBLY correct meme. i'm glad you were able to find it somewhere!! please enjoy the cheesy crimefighting car show :3

#liz blogs #spiltpencilink #ask #kr #knight rider #kitt is best boy #kitt #i was at target a couple weeks ago with The Boys and i actually by complete chance found a tiny scale kitt #which was insane to me because its a 40 year old show but i guess they still make merch for it #anyway there were two actually. one for me and one for the guy that got ME to watch the show #he lives on my desk :) tucked into the corner by my glasses under my monitor #he peekin #havent bought a die cast car in eons but i needed a kitt somewhere #until i got home i'd put him in the chest pocket on my jumpsuit. he fit perfect. call that a pokitt

i feel like one day ill be 37 sitting in my studio with no ideas on what to draw and will think "hmmm. ill just draw men" and start sketching, and then when im finished ill look at the paper and dave strider will be there staring right back at me

#and thats how ill be almost 40 and get thrown STRAIGHT back into homestuck. #ill post it in my art instagram #(instagram has become a second twitter after the og got bought by the us government and mark zuckerberg decided to profit off of that) #and my thousands of fans who adore my comic (about two guys doing fuck all i hope) will ask me #''looool whos th saucy son of sobbing clown poodle'' (internet slang for the time) #and ill type in with my old decrepit 2022 internet slang ''blorbo from my webcomic dave strider hes like the supreme skrunly'' #(three people respond to it calling me a combination of old+new 2040s slur and im not sure which of them is joking) #they decide in the posts Debate Area (second comment section for discussions to prevent fights) that he is worthy of attention #and so the 4Th Homestuck Renaissance begins. in three days the hyper online fans (chronically online people but like worse) #put it on the Cool Page (trending but worse) and homestuck goes mainstream #funkopops of the characters are made within a week of this happening #and theres a new meme of putting the official dave strider resin figurine in a jar and caprioning it THROWING HIM INTO THE SHAKER. DRINKABL #someone mentions the rainbow dash jar meme and disappears misteriously #they find out homestuck is public property since hussie was murdered in 2024 and vis media quietlt shut down a few years later #and start publishing fanfic (top ship is jadevris in a surprising turn of events) #the davekat hate is still there but like worse and im one of the top creatores to get crucified (there are 56 buzzfeed articles on me) #this ruins my comic artists career and i kill myself in november 5th 2048 #txt

cons of going to a “good schoolTM”: insane workload, unbearable classmates, next to no support when you have any kind of extenuating circumstances Including literal hospitalization, etc

pros of going to a “good schoolTM”: the 9-5 lifestyle is genuinely a major improvement

#taylor.txt #the extenuating circumstances point was not me btw. i know someone who had his degree delayed an entire year because of two weeks in psych #we’re in a co-op program or else maybe it wouldve just been one semester but. lol #i hate it here…i hate it #but hey…at least i have the world’s shittiest health insurance! #some of my classmates say they dont feel like working full-time is easier than going to school full-time but it so is #for me. anyway. even when i fumbled my time management bad on the field and make no mistake i was incredibly busy plus i chose a field #notorious for Unpaid Overtime and Taking Your Work Home. even then. it was still easier than this #i would never do undergrad again. i loved everything i learned. i took interesting and awesome classes #but i would never ever do it again. miserable overworked spent most of it friendless until i got on the field #i have a friend who keeps being like idk how you did 4 physics classes this sem and im like girl we are education students…thats an average #semester for a physics major. how must THEY feel #also i have to say just you know. generally. ive worked full-time while living with my parents #AND while living alone. and 50 hours a week was incredibly manageable in the former arrangement. i even wrote and edited an entire novel #in the beginning stages of a pandemic while working 50 hours a week of retail and fast food hell. 40 hours full-time with weekends off #while living alone though? thats hard. i still managed to go to the gym almost every day #currently? i cant get out of bed in the morning. i am putting in 12 hour days and then goinng to bed unable to sleep because im so stressed #i have dreams about school. tangentially theres a really good marxist poem i read last year about this phenomenon in workers #ANYWAY. i have just 8 more days 4 exams 1 research paper and video project #i think i can pass and then thats it. my next semester is hell but just because scheduling the actual classes will be easy #and then i get to go back on the field and actually want to wake up every day. lol #and 8 days from now i will have my christmas shopping done and my apartment will be clean and i will be a fanfic writing machine #also my friends and i booked a demolition room so im sure that will be beneficial kfldjfldndks

*remembers how the comic industry operates* i dont feel so good

#sometimes i think about wood's if i had to do it all over again i would never do comics again. #sorry was going thru an artist tag and saw stuff from last year and went ohhhh lord if i had to work on two monthlies at the same time #bang out 40 pages a month 10 pages a week literally idek what i'd do. #i dont wanna hear shit sometimes for some artists like keep it to urself. if there is a noticable quality decrease take a moment to think #bc if ur on an insane schedule. man. it doesnt matter how long u've been working n how fast you get #that is a fucking insane expectation of pages. that is an insane level of work #static.soundz

makes me so mad that job be excepting you to stick around and be a ride or die but then only give you one shift a week

#me #like ive been here for two years and seen EVERYONE come and go #but my check can only fill my tank and give me something to eat afterwards 😞 #guys im fine i have another job (min wage that only lets me get 19 hrs/week so :/) but its just so annoying #like 40% of me thinks im getting let go

The way I just politely wait for Paper Girls to finish streaming in my office so I can start it all over again. Super normal. Very lacking in deranged hope.

#paper girls #save paper girls #honestly I haven’t properly sat and done a watch in a minute because it makes me feel hopeless and sad at this point #but I’ve actually watched it probably 40 times by now and streamed it at least a hundred more #like if I time it correctly I can do three full streams a day #this is math I am deeply familiar with by now #morbidly curious how many views have been notched under my account alone…and stupidly hopeful legendary is still tracking that shit #far as I know they’re still shopping it. last I heard two weeks ago cliff said he understood they believed it had potential #god I hope he was right and that shakes out #like. that’s all I want by this point. I’m so simple. save paper girls. #the rest of the media world I’ve pretty much given up on caring about until usher drops next year so… #chop chop folks. pick up my show.

I got the job :)

#it's only 4 weeks contract but it'll be good #I'll be working 40 hours in the week at the estate #then continuing my weekend entertainer job #the two are going to let me make a nice big of money #which is needed after the early year drought in entertainment and commission work #it's going to be intense and I gotta make sure I have big decompression spaces #I'm learning lately how my overstimulation gets triggered #so I'll always have my headphones and sunglasses if need be #and I'll have very easy to consume snacks on hand #and I'll make sure I have things I can drink readily there #AND- proud to say I made it clear with weekend work that I'm not doing discos until I have training #because I cannot manage those #and I am not having another panic attack if I can help it #so... yeah! #not much art will happen beyond leisure stuff #but I got some work!

[fridayyy-13th]

siiiiiigh.

#friday chats #tw vent #(in the following tags that is.) #(so. scroll if you don't wanna read this i suppose.) #anyway. gotta love the overachieving honors student experience. #haven't slept well in over two fucking weeks. i'm so exhausted! it's 11:40 pm but i STILL have multiple assignments left to do!! #part of it is definitely my own fault; i'm the one who put so many difficult classes into my schedule this year #and i'm planning to go discuss dropping a class or two tomorrow actually #bc i've been struggling to do work because of the sheer stress of it all and i'd very much like to sleep for three fucking months #maybe more. perhaps six. maybe even a year. i'm so fucking tired #God. sorry. i don't like getting vent-y on my blog but i am currently At My Limit #i miss having free time dude!! i haven't been able to dedicate time to writing since summer ended!!! #hoping that dropping the class i wanna drop will help #it's not the worst one of the bunch but it looms over my shoulder and the subject matter is miserable #(it's economics. fucking hate it. i get why it's useful but the way we're learning it is so deeply draining. that's capitalism baby!!) #but anyway. gotta hop back to work now. :/ gonna log off for the night

[cha1cedony]

Haven’t interacted with people outside of my office or family or music ensembles for like a month. Think I am going to go bonkers

#I need to talk in my Discord server it’s been MONTHS #but I don’t really share interests with them #online I mostly just talk to two or three of my closest IRLs T_T #I want to make Tumblr friends but I am SO intimidated #chalcy stuff #idk why I’m posting this here #just sitting in the parking lot procrastinating on walking into the office… another 7 hour day :’) #I would also LIKE to have new hobbies but I simply do not have time #<- taking 6 uni classes AND working 25 hours/week in an inherently busy/stress-inducing field #so rn my hobbies are just.. college choir community choir vocal lessons aaaand fanfic #none of which are really friend-making environments #since you don’t exactly get to TALK during choir #and community choir is full of people 40 years my senior :( #at least I have one friend from college in there and we go to the bathroom together during our 10 minute break lololol

people from other (warmer) countries: this is my "staying warm during the winter" outfit! a knee-length or shorter skirt with tights, a 3/4 sleeve shirt, and a long sweater or mid-weight cardigan!

me, forgetting that there are a lot of places on earth where the idea of it being -50⁰C is basically unimaginable: 😶

#jealous of people who don't know what -50 feels like 😩 #-58⁰F ftr #i suppose to be fair -50 isn't like. Normal weather here. #it just happens at least once every other year so it's normal enough that our reaction is less pure horror and more ''ughhh really'' #-40 on the other hand is normal and happens for at least a week or two every year

[dykemelon]

I beat Celeste btw

#celeste game #all it took was two years of attempts capped off by a 40 hour week of nothing but grinding #without exaggerating: this is maybe the hardest thing I’ve ever done

[pepprs]

#purrs #my life is saur fucking crazy. especially the recommendation letter + teaching thing like HOW am I supposed to do this. i just met the #person im writing this letter for last week and she’s only a few years younger than me. im about to teach a class w ppl who are my age and t #the other two instructors (very close colleagues but still) have phds and are in their literal 40s-50s and here i am barely 24 and barely ha #having earned my bachelors. Like omg why am i even doing any of this. insane insane insane. the impostor syndrome is saurrrrr real lol 😍😍😍😍😍 #*teach a class w students who are all my age. and i have to TEACH it. they are not going to take me seriously and will never truly see me as #an equal to my colleagues ♥️ which i am quite literally not so why am i sick in the head over it ♥️
