I decided to venture on Pinterest in my search for boys in the boat content and while there is not much, this was one of the top results and IT'S LIKE A RENAISSANCE PAINTING??

The closest thing to credit I can give is that it looks like it was from a local Seattle news site but now the article itself seems to be gone (this is why Pinterest is an evil place, I want to give credit!).

Anyway. I feel very normal and am definitely not going to immediately change my profile pic to this. Great frame from the film, good job random Seattle news outlet.

I've seen so much love and positivity on my dash, it makes me really happy!

If you're sending all these lovely messages to each other, don't forget to tell yourself nice, positive things too. We're often much more harsh with ourselves than we'd ever be to someone else!

Give yourself the benefit of the doubt and some grace - we're all just learning, and when we notice something we can do better, it's a good thing because it helps us to grow.

#be kind to yourself #I'm supposed to be working #will send some messages later

Death.

No longer unfamiliar, yet no less devastating and unwelcome each time it showed its face in Callum’s life. It arrived unpredictably, like the first cold gust of autumn to shatter the warm guise of summer, merciless as a dagger. 

Before he could even remember, death had swept past him to take his birth father. Then went his mother when he was only just a child. And, of course, Harrow forcefully followed as well.

Now…

Callum squeezed his eyes shut against the thought, but it did nothing to stop the tremble that began racking his body. 

The metal in his hand felt cold, heavy, and foreign. Whereas the last time he’d held one of her blades, its lightness and warmth had made his heart rise. 

They were an extension of her, and to see them like this — covered in muck, rain, and…blood…and with her nowhere in sight — it was too much for him to bear. 

Tears cut their way down his face like shards of glass. 

He should have come after her sooner. He should have tied a tourniquet around his bleeding heart and followed her directly from the moon nexus, her letter be damned. He should have been here to protect her. 

His grip tightened and he hugged the flat of the blade closer to his chest, a sob pushing its way through his gritted teeth. How was he supposed to go on if he lost her too? How could he possibly survive this pain another time?

A hand suddenly appeared on his shoulder. “She’s still out there,” said Ezran, voice calm and steady among the dark tempest of Callum’s grief. “You know how strong she is.”

She was strong, he knew, stronger than he could have ever imagined as a fourteen-year-old kid. She was wholly responsible for guiding them through the insurmountable countless times during their trek across the continent. And that wasn’t even accounting for how fast she was — leaping from treetop to treetop like it was nothing at all.

And daring, don’t forget daring.

Callum started at her voice passing so gently but so clearly through his head, enough that his eyes involuntarily opened to see Ezran’s reassuring smile hovering over him. 

The anguish festering in his chest ebbed enough to allow a deep, shuddering breath to pass into his lungs. 

She’s brave and selfless; she does what’s right, even if it puts her own life in danger. Even if the odds seem impossible. 

Because she’s a hero.

And he owed it to her not to give up on her so easily. 

Nodding to Ezran, Callum wiped his eyes and looked back to the east, toward the trail they’d been following for the last three days.

“I’m coming, Rayla.”

Okay shut up everyone just shut up.

So Mads canonically cannot understand rhyme. We've had this confirmed, it's a major part of the Gizmoplex arc so far.

But the theme song is part of the plot? And it rhymes?? And Kinga and Max sing it??

Now look, I minored in vocal performance in college and I'm a weeb, I know full well that you can sing something without understanding it. So that's no big deal. The question now is, if the Mads don't know rhyme, and that's a known thing, where does the theme song come from?

Things to take note of:

Everything that later Mads do comes from Dr. Forrester, so we can assume that everything that has been true of MST3K since day one comes from Dr. Forrester.

Add to that that Kinga is specifically carrying on her dad's old experiment, and the existence of both the show itself and its various conceits are considered sort of fluidly canon to the show (ex. Season K is acknowledged but not fully canonized, referring to the "experiments" as "hosts," the modern nod to changing viewing habits, etc.)

Between the occasional appropriation of Joel's inventions and the Mads either half-assing inventions or trying to pass off mistakes as "inventions," we know that Joel is smarter than they are and they also know it.

Joel knows the Mads can't understand rhyme.

From all this, we can probably make the assumption that a great deal of what the Mads did, onscreen or off, was done in whole or in part by Joel, with or without his knowledge. If I were Dr. Forrester and I had a clever inventor slowly going mad on a satellite, I would 100% steal his ideas.

With all this in mind, I present my hypothesis:

Joel wrote the MST3K theme song lyrics. (Yes I know Joel Hodgson co-wrote the song, but I mean Joel Robinson wrote it.) Somewhere along the line he realized the Mads didn't understand the lyrics and had them go along with their part. The song is an SOS and a way of having the Mads admit their plan to the world without realizing it. Mike carried this on through his era.

So when Kinga was assembling her dad's research, she found this song, had no idea what it said, and handed it off to a band to do a new version to have it ready for Jonah. Because the theme song is important. Now in the Gizmoplex era, Servo is jumping in to spill more tea about these "stolen specs," and Kinga and Max are just happy to be involved.

(Remember, the lyrics said to "just relax" about science. This is not science, it's storytelling, and I refuse to relax.)

“Chance of Thunder”

Tony loves rain. Which is a surprise after Afghanistan and the whole waterboarding thing. Or after he almost drowned in the Pacific, buried under the rubble of his own place. But yeah, Tony loves rain and the way it offers little bits of happiness. A rainbow. A flash of pretty lightening bolt. A relief after a hot day. A free shower (don't laugh). A free wash service for the armor (do NOT laugh).

So when they're all stuck in the middle of nowhere, inside a dusty old safehouse and it starts to pour down on the place, he is amused to see the others so disgruntled at the weather. In a fit of childish wanting, he steps out into the porch, just to show them up and smiles when stray droplets hit his face. When Romanoff asks, a bit of smile hinting at her voice (they're friends now, who would've thought) he tells her ", I just like rain". He doesn't tell her the petty side of the story. How in the worst days of his life he could've used some.

It was snowing when his parents were buried. Rain would've been great during his wandering through the desert. And the sky was just so clear blue when he carried the nuke to the wormhole.

So... Rain. Yes.

Everyone is pouting when he steps outside. Steve, always the motherhen, squawks ", Stark, come back inside, you'll catch pneumonia this way". Tony just laughs and yells ", free shower", before smiling at the sky. The rain slows to a gentler beat and feeling the God's eyes on him, he turns to see him grinning.

It becomes a thing.

Thor would announce his presence with thunder and rain. And Tony would wait for him at the deck or anywhere outside. The days he would feel terrible, it would rain and lightening would streak across the sky, basking everything in bright, electric blue or purple.

They all pretend it doesn't happen for him. But it does.

Tony still loves the rain.

Only now, he loves the God who would make it happen just to see him smile.

Not sure if it'll make it in my fic, but I think it'd be funny to have a scene where Don and Bobby are caught being coupley but get away with it because of heteronormativity.

Like maybe they're in Don's room, studying together (not a euphemism, actually studying because they are in college after all), and they're alone and on the small twin bed together, so they might as well cuddle. Don resting against the headboard, Bobby in his arms, his back against his chest. Maybe Don's chin is resting on Bobby's shoulder as they look at the same book, cheeks pressed together.

Then whoever Don's roommate is comes in without knocking first (let's say Chuck for a namesake).

Bobby and Don freeze, staring at him, waiting for the ball to drop, for him to react dramatically.

Maybe Chuck's tired and he just stands there for a moment. "What are you guys doing?" His tone is casual.

A pause.

"Studying?" Bobby tries hesitantly.

"Oh. Yeah, I just came to grab my books actually," Chuck says. They watch as he grabs his bag and leaves the room, no further remarks, completely unfazed.

Bobby looks over his shoulder at Don. They both burst into laughter, Don hugging Bobby closer.

The world's greatest hero meets the world's greatest ninja.

I'll admit, it's a rush job, but I just HAD to get @angelpuns DTIYS out of my system otherwise I would not be alright. These two make me so emotional and knowing that Big Leo is someway somehow going to make an appearance in Kid Leo AU has me stupid excited. I have no idea if this is how their interaction will go necessarily, but let me dream, ok?

most of the time pet sitting is routine but somethings there are interesting incidents.... you sometimes forget bc usually it's just basic, feeding and exercising pets.

Like the one time I went to meet a client at her house and she offers for me to stay and drink some wine. I drank a glass and she kept offering more.

You do realize I need to drive home!

Good thing I said no despite her pressuring. It did affect me a little. Now that I think about it I shouldn't have haha but my decision making was impaired.... she thought it was ok so it must be. (Hm. This is a big problem for me this automatic compliance... I hate it and it's one reason why I don't interact with people if possible. I don't want to be crushed by their larger personalities) I did get home fine. Idk what else i was supposed to do. Call someone to get me? It wasn't that bad, just had to make myself be alert and aware of possible impairment like the many times I'm tired but have to drive

#Pet sitting #Wine #1 glass or half isnt too bad..... #But. #Why. #Was she telling me this #Now im impaired by caffeine #I'm supposed to be working #That was weird.. #I stayed several hours #She did have a rather forceful personality #She had a cat that needed a bubble on its head #Or it would overgroom #It was so hard to put it on ..... I'm scared I pulled the cats hair but i couldn't leave it off
