Okay but my favorite GIR moments are ALWAYS the ones that imply he's just aware enough of what's going on to know that the thing he's doing will fuck up Zim's day, and he still does it anyway, possibly specifically for that purpose.

#invader zim #gir #iz posting #natterings #most times its not even malicious #or not like SPECIFICALLY malicious beyond gir being a gremlin who enjoys chaos in general #i think a lot of the time he just wants to secure zims attention and making him mad is the easiest way to do it #(+ i mean zim kind of models this strategy all the time so can he really be surprised girs learned it—) #or sometimes the terrible thing will eventually end up leading into accomplishing something useful #and its easy to say this is just fools luck and totally inadvertent on girs part #but there are rare moments that suggest he mightve a little bit done the thing on purpose and im obsessed with that #that one comics issue where he impersonates dib torments zim for days on end and then wheedles zim into praising him for it #lives rent free in my mind #BUT ANYWAY I ALSO THINK THAT MAYBE SOMETIMES IT COULD BE A LITTLE MALICIOUS #given that gir in his natural state isnt really CAPABLE of resentment or anger or even dislike #and the one time he was able to feel those things he turned on zim in less than 24 hrs #in a way that was clearly very personally motivated (note to self write meta about gir goes crazy and stuff i have so much shit to say) #which suggests to me those emotions probably are there festering on some inaccessible level and yknow #imo a little healthy sadism is a GREAT outlet for that #zim absolutely deserves it

me: yeah i didn't project too badly onto taob haha *sees a quote from taob randomly on a tiktok webweave about girlhood*

#HELLO?????? yeah zuko they girlhooded you. yeah no they transed your gender #idk if this makes sense but ur coping mechanisms are just sooo she/her #like do you have any idea how baffling this was like no tags no search no nothing it was just there by sheer luck #i saw it was a webweave about girlhood and i was like ohoughhee this will be good #got a few slides in. hello i recognise thAT FUCKING QUOTE WHAT IS HAPPENING #like it's such a niche quote and out of context like it was it could have been from ANYTHING #AND it wasn't credited which i'll get to in a second #but honestly i felt like a mother identifying her child through something incredibly niche like a single freckle or some shit #bc i was like 'this is such a nondescript quote and isnt a big enough moment for me to remember vividly and yet somehow i Just Know' #and low and behold i double checked with a cheeky ctrl+f on taob AND I WAS FUCKING RIGHT #WHAT THE FUCK #im a tad fuming there was no credit like the person used like 12 images and only 3 of them are Non-Tumblr Writing Quotes #and NONE got credited #like i get it's hard enough to get art credited but i feel with artists there's still a general conensus that you're SUPPOSED to tag them #but with writing people honestly just treat it like it's free real estate and the thing is it kinda IS especially if it's fanfic #but also..... why would you not just say who wrote that? like you clearly like it enough to put in ur little slideshow #so why not give credit where credit is due. annoying. bc now im like if this happened by pure fucking chance #then how many times has this happened when ive literally been totally unaware of it? #how many times have MY WORDS just been flung about tiktok without any acknowledgement that i wrote them? #idkkkk just how writing especially amongst tiktokers is treated as a lesser or watered down artform #that doesn't require the decency given to 'actual' art. i might just be being cynical bc i dont like tiktok tho lol #like girl (taob) what the hell are you doing at the devil's sacrament #taob

I feel like Kim and Roxie would have a cat that's an absolute fucking bitch to everyone but them and I felt like you needed to know this

(I should be revising rn and I'm thinking about this bitchass roxipine cat the brainrot is real)

Oh my god... just like my cat for real.....

(The bastard herself; I tried to find photos where she looked upset/angry but there are. So fucking many photos of her to parse through I cannot understate.)

Anyway. Y e s. I am ascribing to this.

#in the photo where she's biting onto my jacket: she wasn't upset w me or anything she was just being a freak 😭 #i love sappho she's so fucking baby. she HATES strangers (especially strangers that are men) so she is a bit of an avoidant bitch to new pp #i imagine their cat would be less avoidant and more Confrontational about other people #didnt attach the photo of her i could use as reference to this but i also picture their cat liking to Loom Above for when they need to + #+ Strike Someone.... #like scott comes over for a friendly little visit and he passes by the stairs or a bookshelf or something before anyone can stop him and + #+ just. WHAM. Angry/displeased cat to the face #asks #cassmouse #ooc #txt #roxim #roxipine #kimrox #drumswords #sp comic #spvtw #spto #might throw more tags on this in a second i just realized i started answering this before i went to see which discord tag was right-- *runs #their cat would not look like mine btw. i dont think at least. i may return with the Ideal Cat #best of luck with revisions btw!! i remember you posting abt them i believe... #to new ppl*... it said the l could fit why must it lie to me #ACK. THIS SHOULD ALSO GO IN #headcanons #scott pilgrim headcanons

#bonus under the cut getting that snout facing right at the camera #camerupt #early 2000s animation cow‚ apparently. that's what someone just said about the bonus image. i honestly never understood this thing's name #i always thought it was pretty obviously a cow. but then its name implies camel. camel erupt. camerupt. is there a specific kind of #camel that just looks like a cow?? or. what. or am i just misremembering what camels look like #either way‚ i still think this pokémon is pretty cool‚ but i don't really use it ever in my own playthroughs. i don't think i *ever* have #not even in pokémon colosseum where i'm pretty sure you can get a shadow numel at some point. bc i already had a fire-type #not sure which one it was but it was definitely one of them. maybe cyndaquil? because of the dudes with the johto starters #that you fight near the beginning in pppp uuuhhh the PHENAC city i couldn't remember the name. for a second there. #i wasn't aware as a kid that their outfits corresponded to the type of the starter they had and also that you could only fight one of them #i think as a kid i was under the impression that there was only the one. for some reason i remember fighting the green one #oh wait they have the second-evos yeah. cuz he had bayleef. and the red one would've had quilava. not cyndaquil #ugh my memory is not very good evidently. i'm writing these tags after work. normally i do them right when i wake up but this time i just #do not have an excuse for not being able to remember shit. this is just on me. maybe it's amplified by the fact that i have yet to eat today #which i have a very bad habit of doing. forgetting to eat all day and not eating until like 5 and then that being my only meal for the day #i'm trynna get better about it but it is Not easy for some reason. for something that should be decidedly very simple #but my brain doesn't often let me eat until i've completed all of my silly little Tasks. so. idk. this will however post the day after i've #arrived back home from my trip which is nice. the first time future me will be sleeping in her own bed again. good luck again future me #you might need it

its past midnight and here i am planning a sweater i have neither the materials nor funds to make

#once 10:30 hits i enter a fugue state and i just start making shit #i was like making little drawings and grid patterns and looking at knitting patterns for few hours and then 10 hit- #-and i was like ohh. okay so i have to make a mockup right now #so i put on one of these really long series recap videos and just went to town with the yarn and needles i had #im not going to use these colours (maybe the same cream shade but i dont have enough rn anyways) bc i want a darker green #but idk if i will use a different weight of yarn im not sure about that yet #i think it looks really good in just standard weight (worsted or w/e) but ik it would take a v long time and strain my wrists/arms a lot :( #so idk what i will do about that. maybe ill look at the same style of sweater but w/ thicker yarn to see examples #basically i want to make one of those christmas sweaters that have the patterns at the top + bottom trim but tma style #its supposed to look like open and closed eyes if that wasnt clear #and i might do lettering in the middle if it will fit? i wanted to do the whole ''ceaseless watcher'' phrase but it would def not fit sooo #just the name is fine. i will maybe put one on each side (front + back) or if theres room for like 3+ than i could do a repeating pattern #its going to take a lot of math + planning tho so O_o wish me luck #i dont even have yarn yet lol idk what im talking about #i gotta get to bed.... #tma #the magnus archives #ceaseless watcher #my art #kinda #knitting is art

Sometimes the cringiness of Severus Snape makes my eyes water both out of love and secondhand embarrassment like bro I would die for you but why did you yell at a piece of paper and say, and I quote, "Professor Severus Snape, master of this school, commands you to yield the information you conceal!" like what was the reason? did you think that would work? do you tell everyone that you are the master of hogwarts or just errant pieces of paper?

There's no way he doesn't lie awake at night unable to sleep, not because of his terrible grief or unending guilt, but because of these embarrassing, embarrassing moments like

#to be fair it was a magical piece of paper #but still there are probably no cringier ways he could have commanded that piece of paper #for those who are confused i'm talking about when he confiscated the map from harry and tried to get it to work #yes that's a real quote #had the nerve to rhyme there too #smdh #thank god lupin wasnt there to witness that #snape used all his luck in that moment #that's why the rest of the year was so ass for him #maybe he's so cringe he doesn't know how truly cringe he is #it would explain why he struts around hogwarts the way he does #maybe he meant master of the school as in belonging to the school #nah.... i gotta just face the facts..... he had a little cringey moment thats all it happens to the best of us #no seriously am i the only one laughing my ass off at the image of him yelling at a piece of paper #getting increasingly enraged by it #in front of a teenager no less #still love him #severus snape #we're all a little cringe sometimes

[seariii]

You know what? Worst case scenario that I don't finish my personal drawings for vslentines, I'll just post them a day (or a couple) later, who cares. It's cute Saori art, and she and all of the characters deserve to have some fun

#i have a really cute idea for a drawing of her with mappi but idk if i have the skills.... i could still try it... #but yeah that one's for later #seari talks #sigh... i feel like i didnt do a lot today but.. i do feel a lot better and a little more capable... so improving my mood was todays victory #i didnt do everything i had planned but the most urgent stuff is done... and as scary as it is i guess it could be fun to look aroudn... #whatever happens... its gonna be useful. we gotta do it scared heh #and after this is done and we see how everything plays out ill try to retake therapy... even if for just two sessions... #.... omg wait I'll actually be Mitsumi for real JAJAJAJAJAJA damn at least she had a goal im just trying my luck...

asian parents will literally do everything except get their kid therapy (devotion 2019)

#this is a half joke btw i have an even more coherent analysis on i'm just. processing because HOLY SHIT. #RED CANDLE GAMES. first off like with detention the visuals are one of (if not) THE strongest point of the game #in how it gets you immersed into the setting and story especially. it does an amazing job of telling a story without using too much words a #as a fan of horror this honest to god broke my heart because it not only is so tragic but it hits close to home 😭 #i have so much more to say but i can't get my thoughts together atm. it's a shame that this was taken down from steam because it's SO GOOD. #honestly i kind if cried a little (a lot) at some parts and especially at the end.. having cultural context just does that to you huh anywa #itlogthoughts #edit: yellow tulips in the context of the game's setting means hope and cheer. it is planted to bring good luck; fortune; or better times #in this essay i will- #okay but it's the fact that mei folded tulips to manage her anxiety and in the end also loved her yellow tulip plant dearly #(*and the yellow tulip referred to in the hallway scene during the ritual; the man speaking may be referring to the protagonist rather than #-his daughter. and how he sacrificed his body money and blood to keep hope that his daughter could “be rid” of her illness) #and how in one scene her room is covered from floor to ceiling in yellow tulips. i might fall ill #it's the way she even hoped to the end that she would be alright; that she would recover and her parents would watch her on tv together? #as a family? i might cry again sorry guys

what’s really embarrassing is my roommate on the phone with his mom saying “yeah i’ve been getting really sloppy i haven’t cleaned in a week it’s terrible” and my side of the room is just like that. all of the time. and i feel guilty but he also hasn’t ever said anything to my face he moved my stuff some at the beginning of the year but has never talked to me about it and i’m also so fucking ill that i just cant really handle adding that to my list while trying to also not fail school. so here i am being a terrible person i guess. did i tell you guys about turtle-person. have i showed my bracelets. i’m gonna go to sleep but in the morning i need to show my bracelets

#help i have work tomorrow. i also feel sick and strange. wish me luck #the sun was around today which was incredible but also i think it gave me too much mental energy #cause for the first time in forever i had the brightness of spirit to go for a walk. but that’s not the same as having the blood flow for it #so i think i overexerted myself cause of being finally happy and mentally energized i forgot about being physically disabled #i also had to explain POTS to somebody today and she was literally like ‘oh is that the thing where you need to have salt’ and NO like #i do have a really high salt intake to cope with POTS. but that’s not the fucking thing yknow?? like no that’s not what the thing i have is #it has nothing to do with salt. salt is a fun little coincidence that it can help with water retention which in turn helps with POTS #and it raises blood pressure is i think the other reason? but anyway idk i would honestly rather she just not know about it than have like #that very particular tiktok version of it like i am so glad for internet knowledge being spread and stuff and i mean. i guess even the posts #that i’m about to complain about are good for making people feel like they’re not alone. so maybe it’s fine. but i was going to complain of #the videos that are like ‘‘that one POTS friend’’ and it’s just like. salty food. instead of like. having to sit down?? BEING FATIGUED?? #and like whatever. whatEVER but i wish it wasn’t getting conflated with one particular little way of treating it. even though i use that way #i don’t have needs-a-lot-of-salt-disease. like that’s not the point. that’s not the issue. it’s not a salt deficiency. salt just helps #and it doesn’t FIX it. it just helps. that’s all #ANYWAY EVERYTHING IS FINE. i feel sick though. but i’m gonna sleep and i’ll be fine #i miss before i had a job cause then i could sleep all day if i skipped class and it would be really nice. but now i have a job i would be #missing on my responsibilities for. and I don’t actually have accommodations. but im gonna sleep i’ll be fine #and library book cart is actually so rollator. like as far as being able to walk the library situation is such a win #anyway i’m gonna go to sleep now. but yeah idk i’m sick and a mess what else is new. but i have something whatever i’m good theres something #unrequited love for life or something like that. ok im gonna go to bed sorry for being weird and strange all the time!!!! #me. my post. mine. #delete later

Dipper is that guy who practices magic spells like really often (sometimes casts them unintentionally or impulsively). Some go well, some result in disasters and some are just hilarious.

Wirt often gets caught up on the recieving end of those spells and curses.

#pinescone #blackchrysalys #mod danger #thanks for the headcanon! #I’m personally split on this #I can imagine if magic is real in gf that dipper would find it and use it #I don’t think he would be randomly trying spells and curses on friends and family though #the closest to what you describe is I could imagine that Stan realizes he’s into magic and teaches him a ‘good luck’ or ‘protection’ spell #it’s doesn’t do anything even a little #but since it’s one of the first things dip learned he holds onto it and compulsively casts it anytime he can #v cool tho

We need better fucking care infrastructure. I should not be trusted with anyone's care ever 💛

#thing is caring for myself? I'm not GREAT at it but i can scrape by #i know my limits i know how much or little i need to survive i know that i can usually more or less bounce back after a tough time #i think if my life fell out from under me i could probably scrape it back even if i wound up doing a lot of couch surfing in the meantime #i genuinely don't know how I'll survive if i have to be fucking sole carer for someone #dad's on his way back now and he's been prescribed antibiotics and hopefully that's that #but at least a couple of times a year there's some shit like this #an awful cough or an infection or a fucking insane choice to like do some diy on the outside of the house standing on the windowsill #he fucking nearly chokes on his food once or twice a week #maybe he's just one of those cockroach type motherfuckers who'll never die no matter how the universe steps on him #but I'm fucking PISSED that he's taking that for granted and won't even sit and fucking talk to me about what happens when his luck runs out #I've been looking after mum alone for what four hours today and I'm already so tired and frustrated i wanna die #i am. a deeply impatient and unsociable creature. #i can be infinitely patient with friends! those are my fave people i chose to have them in my life I'd wait like a fucking mountain for them #mum and i were.... already sort of At Odds before all this started. #i'm the kid she never 100% really wanted and who never really 100% wanted to be here #and now we're stuck together and one day possibly sooner than any of us want it will be. just the two of us. #and i just. i don't know what that looks like. i really don't. #anyway. mental breakdown over hopefullly. #with a bit of luck dad and i actually fucking TALK before the next one #idk man. i never really knew what i wanted to do with my life but i thought I'd have time to figure it out #but maybe I'm just. the unqualified burnout with covid memory damage and a whole ass other human to care for #the exact thing i set out to avoid when i decided never to have kids #anyway. enough oversharing. #thank you anyone who's read my spiralling tag rambles in solidarity i love you #mr. bees speaks

and I didn't even cry at the vet's office

#personal #I'm not generally a tearful person #but when you are 9 months pregnant and facing the fact that your most stalwart support system will die within 3 or 4 years max #it's a little difficult not to cry #anyway she's old and falling apart but not in any imminent dramatic way #she's deaf #she's got a heart murmur that could develop into heart failure but might not #her holding in pee muscles have atrophied such that she just can't hold it for long anymore #she's got some lipomas #she's got nuclear sclerosis (foggy eyes) #no idea why her appetite is whack but she won't starve herself indefinitely so we'll just leave it alone #with any luck this medication will help her hold it better so she won't have accidents in the house #if not I guess I'll have to train her to pee pads and get used to that

guys i have my trial shift tomorrow and ive never had it before when im actually bothered about the job in a specific way like in the past it's always been about GETTING a job and not really giving a toss where im working so long as im working but this is a place i actually really really want to work and will bummed if i dont get. like it's right by the river and it's a really upmarket bar kind of scene so hopefully i might even get proper training in that area and it'll be my first non-minimum wage job AND i'll get tips (every other job i've had i dont even SEE my tips bc the managers take it even if it's given directly to me) and the hours will be super good and it's fast-paced and yeah. im not actually stressed so much bc a trial shift is a trial shift and yeah it's hard getting used to a new place but i can waitress in my sleep but i just reallyyyyyyyy want the job

#do NOT get me started on the tip thing my god #because basically one thing about me is that my customer service is IMPECCABLE #idk what it is idk if it's just bc my mum comes from a waitressing background and basically trained me up behind the scenes #or if im just naturally good at it but i can really switch it on for customers #the only time i start slipping is when customers are rude but luckily the jobs ive had so far kind of let me get away with that #bc they hated rude customers as much as me and kinda used my temper as their own buffer to get the customers to fuck off lol #but when customers are behaving i absolute SHINE like im being so arrogant about this bc i know for a fact im good at it #like they used to purposely put me on till/front of house bc i had the best customer service out of all of them #including the middle-aged workers who'd been there longer #and my fave barista once told me that he did a little experiment and compared how many tips we got when i was working #vs when i was away at uni and it was actually RIDICULOUS how much more tips i got us #and you know what? my boss would split the tips every few months (whenever he remembered) and he'd weight them #depending on who did what jobs. despite tips being PURELY bc of customer service and nothing to do with jobs #so the chef who could barely grunt at people would get a bigger share of the tips i almost singlehandedly earnt us than i did #so yeah i know for a fact this place does it differently bc they're a lot more professional #and also ive been going there for years now it's just genuinely a really nice place #wish me luck besties #hella slaves to capitalism

I need to make a call today, in at least an hour. I am so scared so much right now. I need to make a call. It may be very helpful (oh, please let it work out). I need to make this call. My stomach is consuming itself. I will make this call.

I saw a post the other day asking when people became anxious, when they lost the carefreeness of childhood. I have always been afraid. I have no memory free from the disorder. I have always lived with: be afraid, and do it anyway.

and i am scared.

#Anxiety #Send good luck or vibes or whathaveyou #I could very much use this call going well and leading to what i need #What is it like to not be afraid all the time? #I had a reprieve where it wasn’t so suffocating for a little bit #That ended a while ago

pretty neat of them.
