#I watch it with my dad every week

[wanderingmind867]

I recently learned seasons 1 and 2 of 22 minutes are online, so I've been watching some of it. Even back in the 90s, it was a great show. I thought I'd share an episode I thought was really good:

#22 minutes #this hour has 22 minutes #It's a shame it doesn't get talked about more #22 minutes is a great show #Even when I was much younger I loved it #I watch it with my dad every week #canada #canadian tv #Youtube #funny

im obsessed with neil newbon the Just Some Guy / Fey Creature energy he has, he dresses like a genderfluid cybergoth pajama model, has the body language of a tiny cat in the form of a 6'2 very large man, the bubbly energy of a middle school girl, the athletic skill of a stuntman, will say the smartest and sweetest and most heartbreaking shit and then 10 minutes later while he's gaming he'll accidentally take off a companion characters undies and flash everybody, wildshape his character into a cat, meow intermittently for 15 minutes and ur not quite sure if he realizes he's still doing it? Then he'll spin the strangest little story flirting with himself of two characters he made up and talking in the voices the whole time, remind you his half wood-elf is VERY stupid and very pansexual, and then leave? The minute i saw his first stream i was like FUCK i guess i'm keeping this guy huh. 10/10

#the second he opened his mouth i was like oh he got the kind of adhd that i got BAD #and then his best friend is a writer of one of my favorite episodes of NBC hannibal but he has the personality of a very tired british dad #it all feels made up #text #neil newbon #tbd ? #bg3 #and ive only been watching his streams for like a WEEK btw #and so much happens every time #i am so jealous of his whimsy

What I should be thinking about: school and studying

What my brain decided to think about: Christian vs Randy Orton feud from 2011

#their cage match on smackdown Was the first ever steel cage match that i was allowed to watch on TV #changed my life fr i love watching steel cage matches #pipeline from that to all the death match stuff i watch now is real #shout out to my dad for thinking yes the most child friendly thing on tv tonight is wrestling #other kids went on vacation i was allowed to watch the a-team and smackdown every week so guess i win #christian cage #randy orton

Bought myself flowers today.

#the grocery store I go to has the prettiest little floral section #it’s right by the entrance so it tempts you every time you walk in #I’d been meaning to get some for a while and I figured today was a good day for that #I’m taking the next 3 days off of work just to get some rest after last week #and help the family with anything that needs to be done for my dad #I’ve spent the last 3 days watching and rewatching some of Jungwoo’s movies #because apparently his big sad eyes are comforting to me #can’t explain it #he just makes that face 🥺 #and it heals me a little bit

[fleshdyke]

you guys remember that time my dad killed my pet and then blamed me for it lol

#i still miss jpeg so fucking much #i remember for weeks after he died i would turn on his light in the morning and forget that he wasn’t there to greet me and it was so awful #remembering he was dead every single morning #and every few days i would put a little plant food in the tank and it was such a fucking gut punch every time #bc the cycle was disrupted now. nothing was working like how it was supposed to bc he wasn’t there anymore. those plants that lived off him #for months were the only thing i had left of him #and he told me at one point after he died ‘next time you get a betta you have to take care of it’ like FUCK YOU I DID! I FUCKING DID! #i cycled the tank and i fed him and i kept tabs on the water levels and i did all his water changes and i told my dad when he started #getting sick bc i wasn’t able to get medicine myself! and he tried to fucking gaslight me into believing that i was delusional! #bc he didn’t want to admit that he was wrong! and he refused to fucking do anything about it to the point where i was scrambling for people #i knew who could drive to take me to the fish store and get medicine #and then he fucking died! he died when i was at school and my dad just flushed him down the toilet #and he told me in the most insensitive way possible #and he tried going ‘im sorry i didnt listen to you’ or whatever like sorry’s not going to fucking cut it you killed my fucking pet #and then he went right back to blaming me for it #and then after he died my brother told me that he’d asked my dad about jpeg one time and he SAID that he was pretty much a goner #he fucking KNEW he was dying and still refused to do anythign??? for what fucking reason? bc he couldn’t admit he was ever wrong? bc he #wanted to watch me suffer? #and then for weeks i was taking care of an empty tank #bc the plants in his tank were the only thing left of him #and i couldn’t let them just sit and wither away bc that’s what i did with jpeg and i couldn’t just watch him die again #and then i moved his plants into the other 40gal and i had to look at the way the other fish ignored jpeg’s favourite anubias #and i had to take down his tank and wash all the rocks and driftwood and pack it all back up and then he was gone for real #jpeg was the first thing i was really proud of and my dad had to fucking take it from me #rambles #vent #pet death

[auditoretrash]

just realised that i started playing assassins creed 8 years ago almost exactly to the day........ literally a third of my life

#ezio auditore has been my favourite character for a third of my life. what the fuck #longest running blorbo of all time. my best friend my special lil guy my short king my bloodied and beaten shell of a man #first time i played ac was just before my 16th birthday- my dad was taking me to paris for the weekend and we had to set off in the middle #of the night so i figured there was no point going to sleep. so i found ac2 on his xbox and remembered watching my brother play it #when we were little #and i thought sure i'll give it a go. and played for 8hrs straight #and then i was HOOKED #every weekend when i went to my dads me and my sister would play ac for hours #i was thinking about it Non Stop i think it was my first major hyperfixation and tbh i dont think any since then has been as intense #as a reward for my gcses my mum bought me an xbox so i could play at hers too #i played almost the whole series and read pretty much every book #i even developed a love of art history- which im now thinking about studying at university- because of ac2 #anyway all this to say i turn 24 this week and i havent played ac in months but it still had such a huge impact on me #during some kinda shitty years of my life and i think it will always feel like a big part of me #which is kinda nice i think

#my dads back in ohio again so im back on my own. i still feel terrible but at least i have a plan #i have 2 weeks of this semester left. so i have to not fail my genomics exam and work on a group project plus grade a bunch #shouldnt be too hard but everything makes me so tired rn and i just feel this barrier between myself and everything else #even when my dad was here. i just dont kno how to feel happy. just varied levels of stress #but after the semester is over ill have to find a job for the summer. which super stresses me out bc i havent really had a real job outside #academia and im worried about how stressful ill find it bc im sure its gonna suck but at least i wont have to work on my project #i just think if i had a normal job that doesnt dominate every aspect of my life id feel a little less terrible. or at least i wouldnt send #myself spiralling so much. if i stay here i might not survive it #but what if ill just make myself miserable wherever i am? i dunno. but im gonna try to find a non academic job this summer with the epa or #maybe the usgs. i mean ive gota a bachelor's and a masters in environmental topics. that's gotta count for something #just get a government job. pray for a not terrible set of coworkers. and build something from there #it just sucks bc i feel like everythings falling apart and like i kno if i gave it my all i could pull thru and get my phd but im just so #tired of struggling against something everyone else can do. i just cant read at a level appropriate for what im doing #ugh. i dont wanna study for genomics. i just wanna sleep. i just wish i wasn't in this position #and now i a baby about it. i mean my sisters r in similar positions bc the youngest is currently looking for a teaching job. and my middle #sister is looking to move to new york city in the next 6 months and she'd be quitting her job for that. so we're all sorta in flux #i just wanna not be flailing. not watch my hopes and dreams collapse. be excited about anything. im just sad bc i have to make hard choices #even if i know theyre the right ones to make if i want to continue to exist. sometimes u cant have the things u wany. #and that sucks and i hate it. theme of the year: sometimes life sucks and theres nothing u can do abt it #unrelated

90s Nostalgia part ??

So that was a fairly "it was ok" episode of X-Men 97. Storm getting her powers back was by far the best part (yes, I am biased seeing as she was always my fave) and the rest was a bit *shrug* for me.

AND THIS IS WHAT WEEKLY TV WAS LIKE! The binge model means you can blast through everything in several hours and your brain barely registers the "distinctly alright" episodes before you move on to the timeless epics or the sludge that you swear you'll never watch ever again. But watching an episode a week? We've just spent an entire seven days being unable to get episode 5 out of our heads but unfortunately that was a high bar to clear, weekly releases meant sometimes you were disappointed. However, it meant that you got to talk about the bits you did like and you still looked forward to next week regardless. Weekly release also meant you would get the episodes where it slows down a little, focuses more on individuals than the overall plot and you take a breath. Episode 6 was sort of one of those even though it was also lore building.

#x men 97 #x men 97 spoilers #i know a lot of people hate weekly releases #but to me this was normal until probably into my 20s #being patient sometimes isn't a bad thing #i remember watching stargate sg-1 every week on sky one in the late 90s-early 00s with my dad #i wouldn't have those memories with binge watching #mostly because my dad just doesn't watch tv that way!

[strangesickness]

getting a ps3 and a TV fundamentally changed me as a person. not because of all the new video games i suddenly had access to, but because of all of the movies i can now go out of my way to pick up once a week at the library that i've always had instant access to on my computer.

#okay but for real #i never ever watched movies before i got my ps3 #like i only ever watched movies socially #i think the last movie i watched by myself before i got my ps3 (a month ago) was alice in wonderland over a year ago #watching movies was only ever a social activity for me #i'd watch the same 5 will ferrell movies with my dad and i'd go to the theatre with my friend #but other than that? i had little to no interest #whereas now its like i can't get enough lol #pre-ps3 i can think of six movies that i was ever genuinely excited to watch (not for social reasons) #and those were barbie (2023) rocky horror the sonic movie IT chapter 2 frozen 2 and the batman movie #thats it. my entire life. those were the only movies i was ever genuinely excited to watch #and now its like every week i'm beyond excited to pop in a dvd and watch a movie #reminds me of being a kid and going to the video rental store with my parents #really heartbreaking to me that kids these days will never get to experience that #scrolling on netflix will never capture the same wonder as spending 20 min in the store carefully considering your options #i'm really not very old so it's weird to think that “kids these days” will have such a different childhood to me #anyways i love watching movies and have so much stuff to watch so thats cool

[shirleyjacksonesque]

once again hating my life, missing my friends, and really wishing i wasn't a mother figure to my little sister

#my life revolves around my parents work schedule. all of my friends from key coub just went to the convention together and posted about it #. my sister comes to me every time my dad gets mad at her and i have to feed her and make sure she actually eats her dinner and watch her #for like 15 hours a week #april.fuck

#so it’s late and I’m intoxicated and interested in sharing a secret that sober me would prefer I not share #but she needs to be more vulnerable and right now in this time the alcohol helps #just as a precursor- I’m a lightweight so I really haven’t had that much and I’ll be fine in the morning and also #my partner has a weird schedule and once or twice a week we like to have a drink or two and play video games or watch a show together #lately it’s been baldurs gate but tonight it’s coop stardew #anywayyyy~ #sober Becca is too shy to say that she’s struggling a lot right now #I’ve been hiding myself away for a LOT of reasons for quite a while now and focusing on being the best mother/partner/homemaker I can be #but this has been detrimental to my friendships and spiritual life #as far as friendships go I feel like since I haven’t had the capability to be a really good friend to anyone since everything happened with #happened with dad* #that I shouldn’t be allowed to have friends at ALL #because if I can’t put 100% effort into my friendships even when I’m struggling I don’t deserve friends at all #but I have 3 very little kids and I’m pouring every last ounce I have into them #so maybe I can kind of have a pass and maybe I can have a friend sometimes? #as a treat? #because I love my family very much but sometimes I don’t feel like I’m a person within the family #especially during the holidays I feel like I’m merely playing the role of ‘mother’ #idk… #this is rambly and doesn’t make a ton of sense #basically I’m wondering if I’m allowed to be lonely sometimes because being a mom is hard and lonely #or if I have to suck it up and wait until my kids are older to get to be a full person outside of them again #btw- this has nothing to do with them #my kids are my sunshine on the most cloudy day #they are so beautiful and wonderful and I am so happy I get to know them and guide them in life #it truly is a privilege #apparently I’m too long winded lol I just started talking about each of my children and what I adore about them #but it was too many tags and tumblr said no lol #oh well jsyk I’m crying rn because they are my pride and joy and even if I never have another friend again they are so so worth it

He gets me

#me crying to my dad about this stupid sport he does not care about every week #I know he just woke up too😭 #he watches the highlights for me he’s so cute #we go through Pierre then Charles then Lewis #and now he is telling me about Yuki! #and now I feel better about this stupid sport #ok see you all at Baku bye!

[htonl-writes]

proud to announce that i finally rewatched s2e5, which was the only barrier between me and the next chapter of grogu and the beroya >:3c

#htonl speaks #i got excited about it too! i'm Inspired Once Again #well okay a decent amount of that was alternately being pissed off about ahsoka's montrals and lekku #and wondering about the logistics of Huge Headpiece #BUT I ALSO GOT EXCITED ABOUT GROGU'S POV so it's cool #hey did u know that some medications make u so so sleepy. and the drs can just prescribe them to u #i've gotten used to it now but other things taking up my writing time include: i live close to my family now #my dad had his cancer surgery! we're watching movies together every weekend bc he's frustrated with not being able to move #he was literally biking 16 miles per outing until the week b4 the surgery #he's 100% fine the biopsy said like 90% chance the cancer hadn't spread beyond the removed organ #but surgery hurts and recovery takes a minute so he's grumpy #before i moved back here i wanted to move closer to lake michigan but i really love being able to hang out with my dad so much...... #maybe i will try to find an apartment with a view of a more local lake? #altho if it's not a great lake it's practically a pond >:T

rly wish male athletes would stop treating their wives and children as props for the sole benefit of their own well-being and sports career. like idk how to phrase this well but in that six nations show the sheer number of guys crediting their wives and kids for making them behave better/ have a more holistic view on life, “my children love me no matter how bad I play” like. smth abt banking on the unconditional love of children while you’re being an absent father bc of your job is crazy 😭😭😭

#tbf j should take male athletes out of this and just say lots of men … bc it’s so prominent #like even before my parents divorced my dad was like this 🤣 maybe that’s why the approach annoys me #like allll these guys leaving their wives at home to look after the kids most of the time #and only talk abt their families as a device to use to destress or WHATEVER #idk I’m probs reading too much into it but the fact that literally every guy interviewed who had a partner or kids said that like #idk maybe example of poor mens mental health if were being generous and an insular upbringing with only sport as the focus #but that interview of Owen not even knowing where his kids were 😭😭 while his dad (equally involved with the match that week as a coach) was #traipsing the kids around his opposing teams training ground? 😭 #clearly a product of an approach which is like ‘no kids on game weekends’ #like if the poor kids were gonna be on a training ground anyway that weekend 😭😭 #oh and LITERALLY treating the kids as props when parading them around before and after matches idk man #the kids I knew who’s dads played pro rugby didn’t much enjoy being scared their dad could get permanent brain damage every week #the second they were old enough they mostly stopped going to watch matches ..

[nevermindthedarkness]

lmaoo I can't believe I called it

#chenford #I missed the word 'food' in there but it's fine #hard to watch the show and write coherent thoughts at the same time #not a fan of this new schedule ngl I had a whole schedule for sundays #my dad goes to the store on saturdays and gets fancy sandwiches and I used to eat one every time I watched the rookie #for YEARS #and now I can't anymore bc he can't go during the week :(
