Even if Kristen needed to hear what Tracker said, harassing the girl you dumped MONTHS AGO to see if she'll be okay with you posting your new girlfriend is wild energy???? And then to blow up because she wasn't what? Excited to endorse your cool new girlfriend reveal?? Not, let's be clear, that Kristen said no. In fact she distinctly reminded Tracker that this shit wasn't even necessary. She admitted that she wasn't in the headspace to be happy about it but it ultimately wasn't about her. It's the most mature thing Kristen has said potentially EVER.

Like, I cannot for the life of me figure out how Kristen saying "Hey, do what you want, it's truly not my business or main concern right now" in any way segued into Tracker listing off a bunch of Kristen's flaws and mistakes.

"Kristen needs some tough love!" Maybe not from a person who hasn't even been in the loop for the last several months? Maybe not from her ex who called for completely unrelated, selfish reasons?

#tracker o'shaughnessey #to be clear #i didn't care all that much for Tracker when they were together either #but i also didn't care about Kristen all that much last season so 🤷🏽 #HOW AND EVER #the take of “well Kristen has been avoiding all her responsibilities and thats why Tracker is so mad and deserved to say those things”?? #Tracker dumped her and promptly left the city #Kristen spent the last 3 months SAVING THE WORLD AGAIN #Maybe she didn't want to talk to the girl who broke her heart??? #i will never understand the idea that you have to be fucking besties with your ex and just go back to talking to them #and i know they talked about it in the AP but that conversation left me actively hostile #I know thematically these season is all about fairness and unfairness #and this wild delusion that the things the Bad Kids do are in any way easy #but it was such an unfair conversation to watch #You could tell Kristen was trying really hard to be chill and honest and mature #d20 fhjy #fhjy #let me die #rant #if i die #dimension 20 #thoughts #kristen applebees

riley asking shawn, "when you looks at me, does it remind you of what you can't have?" was a crazy ass moment because yes the line was about shawns intimacy issues and his inability to commit to a longterm relationship, but holy shit if that isn't the most blatant way you could confirm that shawn was in love with cory and the existence of riley was just a constant reminder that he had missed his chance and could never be with cory. what if i went insane

#boy meets world #shory #shawn x cory #i havent finished GMW because even though i like the dynamic between the kids everything abt the shaty ship tease makes me want to *** #it took me like 5 hours to get thru girl meets hurricane because i couldnt deal w the horrible way they dealt w angela #who even though i dont talk abt much is in my top 3 for BMW characters #but this one line from that one episode drove me mad like. did i die ? am i dead? #it actually took me until the end of the episode to realize what that line was supposed to mean #bc it read so explicitly to me as a confirmation of shawns feelings for cory #not to mention his ass literally LEFT THE CITY and never came back after riley was born #ignoring the continuity issues that crop up w this . its giving shawns wedding breakdown 2.0 lets discuss #i think that the take of 'shory is entirely one sided and shawns feelings for cory are unrequited' #is pretty surface level and it doesnt add up much if u take a deeper look into corys character #but GMW definitely leans into this take #what with shawn desperately trying to mirror corpanga in all of his romantic relationships (to run away from his feelings for cory) #like ​is it really in shawns character to marry a woman hes barely known a year ? #or is he just trying to mirror cory and topanga who basically rushed into marriage the second they. were legally able to #i'll let u be the judge #am i making sense idk im tired n i havent watched sn episode of GMW in months

sometimes you need to go back and listen to the music you liked when you were 13 because it's good for you. and no im not talking about like emo nostalgia in this case we have enough posts about that. im talking about dad rock. actually im just talking about barenaked ladies

#idk if i'd call barenaked ladies dad rock per se but every once in a while i'll hear a song and go MAN. I REMEMBER THAT #i had so many oc animatics in my head about this one.... #anyway skrunk lore moment but i had a really intense bnl phase for like 8 months in early middle school which explains a lot about 13 y/o me #in a neutral way but like. yeah. anyway go listen to box set for me. #you don't have to listen to anything else even though i still have a great fondness for a lot of it bc it's one of those things where it's #so familiar to me that i don't even know if i think it's good or not. but box set goes hard and i'll stand by that #in the car and hello city and i'll be that girl and spider in my room AND CALL ME CALMLY and blame it on me and alternative girlfriend and #the flag and when i fall and the king of bedside manor and am i the only one.... ohgh #AND YES IT'S BASIC BUT IF I HAD $1000000 IS COZY. IT'S CUTE OK #OH and it's all been done for all your immortal/reincarnation ship needs. well. a certain vibe anyway #and alcohol. and OH MY GOD I FORGOT JANE. AND INTERMITTENTLY and break your heart.... waaaaaaa #man they have way way more albums than i thought they had #i can only really speak for gordon born on a pirate ship and maybe you should drive actually but. i like those #or i Did like them. havent relistened but even looking at the titles is making me giggly like... i forgot some of these #ALSO SHOEBOX IS A FRIENDS SONG?? WHUH? #or maybe it was used in friends? idk. no thoughts on friends but they did music for just the dumbest shit. ignore that for me please #ANYWAY. going to go listen to all of that now bc im having a moment. if you listen to it and don't like it um. don't think less of me lol <3

Selection of characters for a possible story set in 1900s northeast Brasil

Mira is a jagunço, a sort of gunslinger who works as hired protection. He used to be a cangaceiro (criminal gunslinger who operated in bands and often attacked farms and small cities), but his band fell apart, and he started working for the first farmer who caught his attention: nhô Carlos.

Nhô Carlos, a rich (and single) ranch owner, and Dona Ana, last heir of a powerful family of the region, are rival farmers/land owners. The two often clash over claims on each other's territories, and each has gathered a small personal army to protect their properties.

Sôr Sérgio is Carlos's most trusted employee and boss of the cowboys/ranch hands in his property. Mira often spends his time helping sôr Sérgio with the animals instead of doing his actual job of guarding the property.

Coronel Alexandre, who is not actually a colonel, is a captain of the Guarda Nacional, the imperial and early republic equivalent of the police. He's in charge of keeping the peace in the region the story is set in, and Mira is in charge of causing trouble, so you might guess they do Not like each other very much.

#youni originals #jagunços #<- tag for all these guys and this story in general #despite only one of them actually being a jagunço #nhô/sinhô and sôr are colloquial ways of saying senhor (mister/master) they're not names or titles or anything they're just. sir #dona is the equivalent of lady #fun facts i will not include in the body of the text because there's enough text there already: #1. sor sergio is part native and that's why he has the ear thingy. cultural expression #2. the guarda nacional was composed of rich people who often bought their ranks. coronel was a popular one and many #land owners who were part of the guard bought that rank. to this day big people in small cities are often still called coronel #calling him coronel is kinda to mock him. he's a rich guy who is stuck in this fucking place. he didn't even buy his rank. #3. yes i said carlos is single. yes i gave him a gold ring. up to you to guess why #4. the metal things in sor sergio's hat and leg things are coins. it was a thing here. among cangaceiros and the likes #5. donana is gay. this is not relevant to the quick outline but it's relevant here. #she totally has a servant girl who she treats so well and takes care of like family. her beloved.

I've got two family events coming up during term time and I'm trying to decide if the trips are worth the cost by asking if my family is actually going to be attending them and my mum's response was 'I might be able to convince your dad if we know you're going :)' girl I'm not spending nearly £60 just to come down for the weekend only to then find out I'm going by myself

#+Extra #travel tag #one of my cousins has a babyshower coming up in may on a Sunday when i have class on Monday #i already know my mum isnt intending to go to that one and my aunt that lives in between me and them also isnt going so i cant go with them #its the most inconvenient of the two and i have to be home a week after so ive declined that one #but another cousin recently announced an engagement/housing warming party weekend at the end of april #and when my mum told me about it i asked if she was going so i knew whether or not to look into tickets #and she hit me with the 'might go if you do :)' girl im not risking £60 on a maybe especially cus getting there will be a nightmare #its not all the way down south with the rest of my family so its technically closer but if im travelling there i need to know #whether to come early and go all the way home so i can arrive with my family on the day or travel down the day of & get there a little late #in the day in the city where its happening and figure out how to get to the event by myself and sort out getting ready and everything #or like to not bother what so ever and theres no guarantee which day theyll go cus its both Saturday and/or Sunday #ideally id only go Saturday cus i got class first thing monday but i also dont wanna be there by myself #im not close with my cousins and my dad doesnt get along with my mums side of the family so its highly likely id be there by myself #which i absolutely do not want especially if im getting there late cus of relying on public transport #edit: itll cost between £50-£120 to travel o.o depending on how i travel #if i get the train the whole way cus its quicker and times are more convenient itll cost £120 for a return for a 3 hour trip #or i could spend £40ish to get there by train then £10 on an overnight coach back #which is cheaper than the £60ish it would cost to get coaches both ways and the travel times for coaches were ridiculous #but jesus christ 🤦‍♀️

made the decision that do wanna move into my own little apartment towards summer time but the market here in the city is very sparse and i don't have a ton of money so my plan is to tell everyone i know that i am looking for an apartment and hopefully this way i can maybe get something through like contacts yk

#like if a friend of a friend moves out and someone tells me so we can maybe arrange that i take it over and we both save a lot of time #and trouble looking with the application process :)) #and since i live in a student city and all my coworkers are young girls i think i might have good chances if i start with them #wish me luck guys #i'm also always torn between moving into a different apartment here where i have some friends from school and my workplace that i really #like to go to or if i move to the city where my uni is in which is a 30 min train ride away #but idrk anyone there besides maybe 3 ppl from uni and it's a way bigger city and i don't know anything about it i would be going in blindl #but i would feel more comfortable moving within my current city let's see how it goes #000

[saturnsuv]

8 episodes into tlok trying to fill the atla hole in my heart again and my impression so far is that it’s aggressively mediocre. sorry

#i think it does have real potential but my main complaint so far is that the characters feel VERY flat especially in comparison to atla #all of the main group are pretty much just one type of stock character #korra is the tough tomboy girl that kicks ass mako is the brooding guy bolin is comic relief asami is rich girl subverting the prissy #allegations by being a strong and independent woman except thats the way writers subvert every rich girl character so its not even a #subversion of the character anymore thats just the character #the only ones with any dimension so far have been tenzin and lin #this one’s more of a personal taste complaint but to me the industrialization of the atla world does make sense narratively BUT it really #detracts from the appeal the original show had #apart from having absolutely incredible writing the world of atla felt very deep and immersive and creative and fantastical and for me #making it just a city but there are benders takes away some of the magic of the original show #sorry if any of my mutuals love tlok and read all this <3 #OH also the love triangle between korra mako and asami has not been working for me but thats mostly bc i automatically think the answer to #all love triangles is that they should just all date each other #sam speaks #OH ALSO my biggest question out of all this is. where did they get more air bison from if appa was the last one #air bison reproduce asexually confirmed

i have reached the tag limit writing my thoughts help. im not even done but ig ill just leave it at that AHAHSHSHSH

#since i collected all johto/kanto badges my next goal is to start grinding extra harder for red + #my decision to try to catch as much legendaries #so the first thing i did was make sure that poliwhirl and misdreavus actually evolved - so i went around to find the stones #along the way i happen to find a dawn stone - i frowned thinking like. man if only i could use this on kirlia > gallade #i went to goldenrod to buy some tms and as i left the city i accidentally walked on grass (speeding up the emulator lmao) and FOUND RALTS #i was so shocked because AYO RALTS? IN JOHTO MF #it was male even so i was so excited to grab it - i did and then later i was like “would be cool if i could get a gardevoir too” #“maybe i can breed the ralts with a ditto' #“but I don't have a ditto :[” #AND THEN I WALKED ON THE GRASS AGAIN TO FIND A DITTO RIGHT AFTER THAT AKSKSJSJSJSJDJSSK #i caught it IMMEDIATELY #i was like. wow this is too good to be true. i kept walking on grass again and then i found a female ralts. #now the ditto wont be necessary anymore but i was happy to get one #my next concern was like - 'aw man they're hella underleveled tho - oh yeah! daycare. where's that dayca- #LITERALLY JUST 3 STEPS AWAY FROM ME.

Listening to soldier poet king and trying to figure which in the Cricketsville trio (Steph, Jonah, Pynn) is which,,, and!!! They're all interchangeable I'm losing it.

#They're all kings in their own right argh #Steph is the main character so he feels entitled and very child king-esque at times #it's the only way he's ever known so you can't even really blame him. he doesn't even realize he is this way #and then #theres Jonah who is intrinsically tied to the story #in a way neither he or anyone else ever understands but somehow it seems this is all for him #it feels like it should all tie back to him. like this is his birthright. but there's no concrete reason for this. The world just favors hi #it hates him and loves him and always always favors him #so he should be king in that sense #BUT THEN THERE'S PYNN #who takes control not even because she wants it but because she deserves it #it's HER birthright by the definition given to her. and if it isn't then WHAT WAS IT ALL FOR?? #it HAS to all be for her or she was created just to serve and suffer and bite and bleed #she must be king because otherwise she's just a girl #... #what a horrible little royal family they are <3 #DON'T GET ME STARTED ON HOW JONAH AND PYNN ARE FIGHTING FOR THE SOLDIER VERSE #both would burn down the city but for different reasons #cricketsville #Steph Chesterwood #Jonah Faust #Pynn Birdwright

Also. The weird girl in school feeling of both intense jealousy and violent repulsion towards "normal" girls.

#this post brought to you by: the normaler girls i follow on insta and the stories they post #like these three girls. two of them from the same university as me. the other one also french. all in the same city as me #all exchange students at the same uni in england! #but they're going on day trips to london and living their best year abroad #and i'm - what. staying at home and making soup? sleeping and failing to buy postcards? #the warring impulses of jealousy and repulsion. #because. i want to be normal too. i want my life to be simple and nice and easy. #i want to be a pretty girl who's doing it right. i want to have my life together (somewhat) (for my age and status) #i want girlfriends in the straight way who i can have daytrips with. #i long for the simplicity of asking out cute boys and aesthetic study sessions that actually pay off #i am so blindingly jealous of them. they're so much more normal than me. they're doing Girlhood and Womanhood correctly. #but at the same time i would rather die than change so much i'd be that girl #because i am simply not that person. this is not who i am at my core #i do not want to buy startbucks. i don't want relationship drama. i don't want to put all my personal data on instagram #i do not actually want to force myself to fit into the restrictive mold of what normal and socially acceptable girlhood and womanhood are #so i feel both 1) left behind and inadequate like i'm back in middle school #2) but also at peace with the fact that you can't get along with everyone and i'm old enough to find my people now #i mean my housemates are really cool and i have other friends that are also the kind of nerdy weirdo people i hang out with #AND 3) inadequate for general 'i'm a fucking child' reasons #they're independent. they're spontaneous. they're just doing things. they're on the way to adulthood. they're in their early 20s. #what am i then but a child. i don't go out much i don't drink i have this huge aura of no romance #i need structure and plans and i have a lot of inertia #and i thought the adult thing was going well! i'm feeding myself all on my own! i'm planning my days! #i'm doing laundry and cleaning up messes! look at the adult! #she's not done baking but i was expecting much much worse honestly. i was braced for a total crumble #but no we're good. i felt proud of myself #and here i see people having the normal typical year abroad experience. and i'm not #i'm being childish and i'm wasting money doing the exact same thing i'd be doing at home but in england #anyway. 2:30. sleep time. good night #wow i have a ramble tag now

So like technically I’m not dating her but yeah I think I do in fact have a girlfriend

#very fun airport date today #we flew out on the same flight and she didn’t have anyone sitting next to her so I moved to sit with her #and then we got to hang out for a couple hours bc we both had a layover and we got dinner #it’ll be weird not having dinner with her. like. we spent practically every day of the last month together #many of nights we made dinner together #or went out to eat #oh and the fact that I stay at her apartment on weekends #and help her study. which actually has almost made me make time for studying #she definitely had me making time for food tho bc tell u what I straight up barely ate before she and I got close #also. she’s like I mean we’re practically dating #i wouldn’t mind at all. in fact it would be nice to not keep calling her my mug friend. mug friend is now code for whatever she and I are #i would date her so fast but my girl is a little afraid I think of the pressure of that. which I don’t mind. I’m perfectly content #man it’s gonna suck not seeing her all break. Jan 5th! cannot come soon enough #she managed to deal with all of my weird quirks and isms never once made me feel bad about them and just overall has been so very patient #bc our first encounter was us making out and I was like god why does anyone do that ever it feels so weird and bad #well it turns out I am incredibly lacking in the physical affection department and I can’t stand anything I’m remotely unfamiliar with #slow and steady wins the race with me I guess and now I understand why people make out and I have a hickey collection on my neck very often #I’m boutta be so very touch starved this break. i wanna go back to college :/ #i literally just got to my house. get me out. i will say it’s nice to be back in the part of the Midwest where people will gladly #hit you with their car if you get a little too in their way. I’m back in the city <3 I prefer when people drive like it’s a blood sport #soup talks

Am I aroace or have I just been awake too long?

#rav speaks #its 2am and im listening to a mix of twice aqourus and J-metal girl bands while questioning everything in my life #anyway do people actually feel the way they describe in romance songs?? #like idk ive had like 3 crushes in my life but like i dont think i could actually see myself in a relationship? #so either im aro or like I just have trouble imagining a relationship becuase ive been single my whole life #its like how sex is pretty interesting to me and id be down for it in theory but i cant see myself actually doing it #interesting in a im curious if its really all that people make it out to be #cuz it seems prettyyyy boring to me lol #specially since lesbo sex apparently takes agessss and i know for a fact i would not let a dick get anywhere close to me #anyway off topic #im trying to figure out if the way i feel about romantic relationships is the same way i feel about sex #like in theory id love to have a gf and like do datey things but like it seems like so much effort to get to that stage #got a dating app and im barely on it because ive realised i dont really want to actually talk to anyone #and like i was meant to meet up with someone today who when i first started talking to on said app i was like kicking my feet and blushing #but i noticed that im starting all the convos and decided i was just like fed up of that whats the point of trying to get to know someone #if they arent interested yknow. like they were meant to get a bus to my city and i was hoping they would just like tell me a bus time #and we'd go from there but nothing. so im just like. over it #and i feel like thsts probably not really how crushes really work? #its like i had a bit of a crush on a girl in my classes but once exam season hot and i stopped seeing her so regaually i just kinda forgot #i think she might be in 1 or w of my classes this term so maybe talking to her again will relight that but im prettyyyy sure shes staight #so prpbs better to loose the feels anyway #this is just a rambling mess now i really need to sleep #Maybe I'll figure myself out eventually but for now im gonna stick with grey aro cuz i think thst makes the most sense? #unless there are other micro aro lables i dont knoe of (very likely) #at least i know I'll always be an asexual lesbian even if i dont know if ill ever actually date girls #honestly life would be so much easier if i jsut loved my bestfriend it wojld be so cool if we could be in romantic feeling together but #alas we tried dating for lkke a week and i avoided her the whole time cuz i felt a deep deep sence of wrongness lol #its like again in theory i could see us as a great gf duo like if i was watching our lives as a show id be shipping us #but in practice its njst wrong #if anyone actually reads all of this you get a reward of uhh 🦎 goodnight!!

T’Pel and Tuvok as kiddos...T’Pel dressed herself but Tuvok’s clothes were picked out by his parents and it shows.

#girls who get mistaken for boys v boys who get mistaken for girls - unbreakable bond #not by Vulcans but by like humans and other aliens v_v #T'Pel has a snake in her portable terarium thing bc it looked sick and she wants to nurse it to health #they didn't know each other back then but I'm imagining T'Pel trying to show Tuvok a snake and Tuvok trying not to scream #Tuvok hides behind his dad a lot as a small kid....father pleaseplease don't let her get me (T'Pel is racing at him full of determination) #Tuvok's dad looking at T'Pel like ohmygod...whose child /is/ this????? #T'Pel's parents thinks that if T'Pel is old enough to dress herself she's old enough to chose what she wears #Tuvok's parents think Tuvok should look presentable (and that he's adorable all dressed up) #I think when they're actually married T'Pel is sure Tuvok thinks she looks rather plain (she doesn't feel any particular way about this - #it's just a fact that she dresses and looks much plainer than people from the city his family's from) #plus Tuvok's mother is constantly gifting her new clothing in a gesture that teeters SO carefully between generous and insulting #(T'Pel donates these) #and Tuvok doesn't look at her for very long...always averting his eyes (which annoys her) #so one day she says something like she knows she's plain but she doesn't think she's so awful to look at that she repels his eye #and Tuvok is confused but hurriedly says no not at all (so why do you refuse to look at me?) Tuvok looks away as she moves closer #She looks at him for awhile then sighs and moves to leave but he grabs her wrist and looks at her and she realizes from his expression and #through their bond that it's just the opposite...it's because he finds her so beautiful that he can't look at her for long...it stirs up too #much emotion in him...he likes her a /lot/ and that's EMBARRASSING #She thanks him for his honestly and then rushes off and they're both so flustered by the encounter that they avoid each other for a few days #but T'Pel is.....quite pleased <3 #Tuvok is screaming at himself though #bea art tag #Tuvok art #T'Pel art #st voyager art
