THE WEIRD AL-CANA - 19. THE SUN- HARDWARE STORE

---

this card is the sun for one very simple reason. it is the light of my life. hardware store is such an autistic anthem to me for the very specific reason that I honestly truly feel like this whenever I get to go to the hardware store. the earnest joy of looking at a lot of tools and doohickeys and objects. the high ceilings and organized but chaotic nature of it all. truly magical

oh yeah and its a good song too

I know nothing about you but your cat is the cutest furball I've seen today, so if you could please tell her I love her and think she's the cutest I'd be really grateful!

(I'm sorry I didn't check your blog I just saw your cute cat and had to tell you this)

I told her and she said

I think that means thank you! 💕

having a weird al moment

#i've always liked weird al. he's always been in my periphery culturally speaking #in middle school i had one of his polka medleys memorized. along with White and Nerdy #(if i give myself a minute i can still recite 90% of it) #LOVE Hardware Store #but i've never like... sat down and listened through a weird al album #until this week?? i've listened through two and will probably listen to more #a friend and i were listening to poodle hat in the car the other day and genuinely cracking up #the man's a treasure #and for whatever reason my brain has decided to fixate on him this week #it's keeping me in good spirits tbh!! #there are certainly worse ways to combat seasonal depression #also just found out about the insane biopic he made of himself in which daniel radcliffe plays him #so obviously i need to watch that at the nearest opportunity #nov 2023 #weird al #music

So you know that Percy and Howie go to Lowe's bit a posted a while ago? So, I turned it into a mini fanfic, like any sane person does. :)

This is mainly Percy centric as I really like her character and how she acts, so this is like one giant headcannon for her. Oh, howies here too.

Percy And Howie go to Lowe's- a mini fanfic-

"Percival." Howie muttered under his breath as he watched Percy mindlessly wander through the lights section of the Lowe's. It was clear Percy was intrigued with the lights, as she looked like a moth drawn to a flame. However, Howie didn't have time for her antics, he came to get two things, screws, and 2 by 4's.

Percy wasn't into construction, she was primarily architectural, the step that comes before construction, so looking at lights, lamps, doors, and Windows was what she wanted to do. So she did exactly that.

"Percy." Howie spoke a bit louder and sterner this time, seeming to grab her attention. She looked over to him from the light fixture she was currently looking at.

"Oh, it seems I have gotten distracted once more. I truely apologize Howie." Percy apologized, as she turned her body to face him. She was standing in her usual stiff way as she spoke.

Howie sighed, he knew she couldn't help it and he was willing to be patient, but he wasn't a very patient person.

"You're fine Percy. Just try not to let it happen again." He sighed, as he and Percy continued to walk through the rest of the Lowe's heading to the wood section to grab the 2x4's, which were conveniently placed close to the screws he needed to make his 💫 honeyed snacks💫.

Both were quiet as they walked through the hardware store. Nothing to talk about, both were there to get what they needed to complete the job they were working on. Besides Howie always took small talk as a waste of time. And Percy disnt mind the silence, though the large amount of people there was overstimulating her a bit. But, nothing she couldn't handle.

Soon enough, both were in the wood section, Howie looking at various 2x4s and Percy watching. Howie was very picky when it came to building materials, he tended to stick with what he knew was reliable. However, Percy was getting antsy. She knew about his pickiness, and she was usually patient when it came to stuff like this, but, the noises, people, and bright lights of the Lowe's were sending Percys brain into overstimulation.

Percy audibly sighed as she begun lightly tapping her foot against the concrete floors. Howie took this as a sign of impatience from the woman.

"I'm trying to do this as fast as possible Percy, give me a moment." Howie responded to her audible sigh and body language as he looked at her then back to the wood in the aisle.

"No, no. Take your time, Howie." She responded with her usual monotone and polite voice, as she started to look around the aisle as she waited. Wood. That's all she saw, god, she's only been in this aisle 5 minutes and she hated it.

She looked back to Howie, noticing he was completely invested in trying to find a good enough wood, that she could slip away, and hopefully find somewhere else to look that wasn't a wood aisle. She took the chance and slipped away, out of his view and continued walking through the Lowe's.

The first place she found herself in was the carpet section. One of the many places in the store she liked. Percy wandered down the aisle of carpets, feeling each sample upon the shelves, it calmed her down a bit. The feeling of carpet was one she enjoyed, and one that didn't give her that disgusting chill down her spine when she touched it.

Percy inhaled in the hardware store scent, as she exited the carpet section and moved her way along the store. She passed aisle after aisle of hardware goods, tools and many other things you would expect to find at a Lowe's. For some odd reason, Percy didn't feel as overstimulated as she did when she was in the wood aisle waiting for Howie. Why was that? She had no clue. Maybe it was the scent of the wood. Maybe it was the fact Howie was taking a long time, or maybe, Percy was self soothing by using ways she knew would calm her down. Either or, she felt more grounded than earlier.

Percy continued walking. She went from the carpet section to the paint section. She smelt the fresh paint being mixed, and saw the array of color samples that were aligned on the walls. She took a couple, some blue ones of various shades, and some yellow. Colors she thought that represented her. Comfort colors in a way.

Soon, she left the paint section, and made her way to the kitchen appliances. She took a look at the sleek silver fridges and stoves as she walked. Occasionally stopping to feel the handle, or press a button. The washers and dryers were there too. She found it strange that laundry machines and kitchen appliances were so close together, but she couldn't deny that she liked the sound the washers made when you turned the little knob.

She turned it a couple times, each time making a sorta ping noise.

Ping.

Ping.

It was a nice sound, one Percy found herself to like.

Ping.

Ping.

She smiled softly at the noise before continuing to walk. Percy made her way through the appliances and out to the registers. Faced with an annoyed looking Howie.

"Where the hell were you?" He asked with a look of irritation on his face, apparently Percy was gone longer than she realized.

"I was, here, in the store. Looking at the variety of merchandise. Why do you ask?" Percy answered his question and followed it up with her own.

"I've been waiting here for 15 minutes, Percy. 15 precious minutes." He glared at her with some sort of dissapointment on his face.

"I apologize for that. I did not realize how long I was going to be wandering. That is my fault."

"Damn right it is." Howie followed up her words with his own snide remark as he went to pay for his 2x4s and screws.

Before the two left the store, Percy took one last look back before smiling softly, she liked this store, it was a little overbearing at times, but overall it was enjoyable, she'll definitely find herself her on her day off.

Sydrichie systems slowing down. It’s the long stretch hibernation for S3. Thinking abt all the possible new content we’ll be getting by then

Heading back to my roots

#everytime I think abt the fact that there’s a scene of them checking out at the hardware store #my lungs crackle like a pringles can being put through a flattener #I needed the shots of him looking up @ the officer asking abt manslaughter charges #he looks angelic. humanely worn out but he’s got those precious moments eyes #Sydney goes without saying. every day that Ayo walks the earth I get to know we share the same ozone layer #THAT PUFFER WAS ALWAYS SO CURE I WANT ONE SO BADLY winter here I come #it’s gonna put me in debt. I’m on indeed for a night job quick someone help me lie on my resume #gold chain bracelet. bet he calls it a wrist-let. man-let. loser man I love u #the fact that he’s collecting crumpled bills. Sydney’s getting her cards out. they’re both on(in the depths of) the brink of debt #probably fought over paying despite both of them not being set #I’m gnawing on bones here I’m Unwell over them #the bear #richie jerimovich #sydney adamu #their chemistry is playing tic tac to on my neurons & producing dopamine everytime they even glance at each other #SPEAKING WITH THEIR EYES!! SPEAKING VOLUMES W/O A WORD #also… hand size difference oo

[baalzebufo]

look i just think weird al's hardware store gets it like nobody else does. nothing else has accurately captured the kind of autistic joy i experience every time we get to go to the local DIY place to pick something up for the kitchen or bathroom or whatever. i could live there in the aisle specifically dedicated to different types of door handles and be a happy man

#i love being in a BIG STORE with lots of DOOHICKEYS okay #the ceilings are so tall and the aisles are so wide and i get to look at hundreds of shades of paint #and lots of shiny metal objects and big TOOL RACKS and massive PLYWOOD SHEETS !! YES ! #someone else has to Get It right. this has to be a feeling other people get when confronted with the hardware store. Right

[dilfsuzanneyk]

i love little things put into songs so much. extra harmonies, layering of vocals, the smallest of synths. just little things, and if you took them out of the song it'd probably still work, but the song would just be Less and emptier without it. i love you additional little things in music

#this is mostly bc like. #the slow buildup of al's harmonies in hardware store during that quick bit is so. holy shit!!! #also the little synths in nin songs and bits like in terrible lie and in htda songs and #starbomb and ninja sex party and just #i love music. i love when musicians add stuff to their songs to add to the mood. good lord #vex rambles

kitty and peggy kinda have this goin on

I kind of want to try making mead or ambrosia 👀

Obviously not right now because I have Shit To Do; but maybe during the summer after I’ve moved

#alcohol mention #Apparently you can make mead out of honey and I love honey so of course I have to try it #I want to make more food from scratch so I can reduce my plastic consumption #because my ten-year goal is to convert to a completely anticapitalist zero-waste lifestyle #Just for me… I don’t put pressure on anyone to do the same unless they’re well-off and being ridiculous about their consumption #Except for maybe encouraging people to switch to reusable water bottles if they’re in an area where the tap water is potable #(like where I live) #or flaunting my canvas shopping bag that I got for 5 dollars at a hardware store whenever possible #Okay I guess I do push people a little bit #But it’s all reasonable things directed at people I know are physically mentally and financially able to do those things #or I’ll just casually mention microplastics and pollution in conversation as a “fun fact” #But I’m not ridiculous about it with anyone but myself #I hold myself to some weird standards that I don’t hold others to and I’m fine with it #Obviously it’s the corporations’ faults that everything is the way it is and no single person can make a huge difference #But if everyone does one thing to help the planet; then it might buy us some time to change the system #There is also the issue of supply and demand; if more people reduce plastic intake then less plastic will be produced #But again: it’s very hard to be ethical in this society. EVERYTHING enjoyable is packaged in plastic and it sucks #(ok not literally everything but consider: most candy is wrapped in plastic and clothes have plastic tags and chips are in plastic #sushi is in plastic containers and meat is in shrink wrap or styrofoam and most modern chewing gum is a byproduct of vinyl #toys are packaged in plastic etc. etc.)
