contrary to the . . . uh . . . vibes timmers gives off, he actually isn't really all that (｡･･｡) when it comes to physical intimacy. i mean, it obviously has a bit to do with having to exude confidence and SwagTM while pretending to be jack for so many years, but then when he was trapped in the casino, well . . . ヽ(ヅ)ノ he and the other not crazy folks there had to find some fun somewhere, right—?

basically, he has nothing against "no strings attached" engagements of that ilk; trust me, he needs the stress relief. (and he is in fact more accustomed to flings and "friends with benefits" relationships than real romance, anyway)

where his stuttering and stumbling and fumbling and general cringe rears its head is when he actually has feelings for someone. you know how it is: emotions really do make everything way more complicated. so, like . . . if he's a disaster in the bedroom, it's probably a pretty good sign he has some hidden feelings, js ( ‾́ ◡ ‾́ )

#ミ★ « headcanon » #and by “vibes” i mean “babygirl energy” #but yeah he's honestly pretty chill and unbothered by this type of intimacy #if it doesn't really MEAN anything and is just a fun lil romp then howdy lez go #when it starts to mean something is when his disaster side bursts through #bc then he's exceptionally more concerned about literally EVERYTHING in the exchange #he's already a pretty doting lover tbh but it just AMPLIFIES when he has feelings #just wanting to make sure he's doing things right and being the best he can be for his partner u-u #but yknow -- putting that pressure on himself just #makes him crumble; hence the fumbling and losing his Cool #listen he tries :| he really do try

I don't mean to beg, but if you have any extra time this month I think we would all love to see Magical Girl Charlie again!

oh shit y'all.

i've done gotten invested in Gurren Lagann. we're like 19 episodes deep in this paint and i have been emotionally compromised by the silly mechs.

believe in the me.

#that believes in you #i was gonna say pray for me but that makes me actively uncomfortable so don't do that #but i figured the believe in me thing was fitting #gurren lagann #i don't know how deep this rabbit hole will go for me - but i have a drill so let's find out i GUESS #y'all i did not anticipate this being what happened to me in my 30s i thought i'd found all the anime i was going to be emotionally attache #to in my teens and HERE WE ARE I MISSED ONE I GUESS #i'm having a blast don't let my silly complaints fool you i like to be dramatically angry about things that delight me sometimes #the THEMES the MOTIFS the STORY IT'S TELLING #UGH #SO GOOD #i don't want to hear criticism about it because it's BEAUTIFUL and I LOVE IT #we're watching kill la kill when we get done with gurren lagann and i am SO EXCITED about that trigger knows my weaknesses #and it's goofy faces and tiddies while dealing with really deep subject matter in a ridiculous way #also apparently mechs? wasn't anticipating that one at all i am ambivalent about mechs in general #but BOY HOWDY DID I CRY WHEN DAI-GURREN HAD TO EXPLODE ITS SWORD OFF #anyway... where was i #oh yeah so anyway in case you haven't guessed yet this taking over my brain slowly but surely and i'm sure there will be at least one #attempt at fic in the future for me we'll see how it goes #in the meantime... #oh yeah fun fact #i fucking thought gurren lagann the mech was from gundam and so when i started recognizing it i went THAT'S WHERE IT'S FROM?? but in my hea #because i didn't actually watch gundam i was ambivalent about mechs as stated earlier but of the gundams that one was my favorite #AND IT'S NOT EVEN A GUNDAM I FEEL SLIGHTLY LIED TO BUT IN A GOOD WAY SOMEHOW??? #anyway we're having a super normal one over here don't mind me

[zanathan-aisling]

anyways PMMM sucks in that pernicious way that has a lotta good stuff and ideas TO it not to mention the non-(human)-character-design art direction rules (...kinda), and i've even softened on the emotional content (though not in combination with any gain of good faith in its creatorship at all), but then its just like... Oh Yeah It Also Exists To Sell Merchandise Of Girls That Are Like 13 To People Of Various Ages Who Find Them "Cute". And Its Side-Manga Spinoff Shit Was Just Like Absolute Dogshit About It At Least For A While. Like In A Bubble It'd Be Preposterous For The Spinoff To A Grand Cosmic Tragedy(ish) Melodrama About The Horrors Of Growing Up To Be, Like, "Ecchi", But Taking A Look At A Solid Chunk Of The Posters And Things Is Like 'Oh OK Its Just Like That'

#and like. for better or worse it feels like it blew the lid open for other grimdark fantasy stuff in anime and like. boy fucking howdy #every god damn thing i've heard about made in abyss sure makes it sound like if someone took the weaknesses of PMMM and JUICED them #at this point i think the fault of PMMM is less 'it didn't get magical girls' and more that its built on just the FAULTIEST foundations for #something with the type of message its actually attempting to have #also like its a complete utena ripoff that actually ends up WHITEWASHING the things that make utena edgy #in favor of pre-MCU hollywood superhero Serious Realism if that makes ANY sense #it wouldn't HAVE to 'get' magical girls to tell a serious story that doesn't sexualize kids or capitalize on infantile femininity #HELL. THERES 'TRUE' MAGICAL GIRL SHOWS THAT VERGE ON THAT! LMAO! #like yeah as a SATIRE it doesn't work but i think viewing it as satire rather than a story built on the skeleton of a genre generally not #viewed as appropriate for that isn't great grounds for criticism

Yall my boss is lucky I've learned self control

#well mostly #i used to be very confrontational with customers who had the decency of a mole rat #which got me many a lecture #but ive grown and ive learned to grin and bear it #like today with the asshat i was refunding 2 bucks worth of cookies for because he cant read a gd cookie display #who told me to shut up and stop running my mouth when i explained to him we didnt have the cookies he thought he had paid for and to make #sure he reads the display labels next time #then he called us rude fucking assholes which was actually called for cause i purplosely #dropped his 2.10 in change on the counter next to his outstretched hand #so yeah #howdy #people suck lmao

Me: I'm extremely traumatized to the point of literal CPTSD because I've never been good enough for anyone and the goddamn goalposts keep getting moved but if I give up I'm going to end up with bruises again so all I can do is sob and cry while I'm sprinting to catch up to a standard I'll never meet and goddammit I just want someone to love me and let me be a fucking lunatic about it as long as I'm not like genuinely being a hindrance to the relationship dynamic WHICH I'VE ALSO NEVER EXPERIENCED BECAUSE I'M SO JADED ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF LOVE THAT I REFUSE TO SETTLE FOR SOMEONE I'M ONLY PASSIVELY INTERESTED IN, BUT WHEN SOMEONE CAME ALONG THAT I GENUINELY FELL IN LOVE WITH I THREW MYSELF AT HIM AT FULL FORCE AND NOW HE HAS TO DEAL WITH MY NEUROTICISM BUT HE DOESN'T??? SEE IT AS A PROBLEM??????

Prestor: Hm, that's a lot.

Prestor: This is going to be a very interesting game for us.

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

Hey do you think ya can explain Barnaby and his illusion smoke a bit? It seems really cool and I don't remember if ya talked about it in depth before

sure! this got a bit longer than i expected!

so i was thinking that Barnaby seems like more of a hands-off kinda guy when it comes to altercations. would rather sit back and make funny commentary! so if he Had to get involved, i imagine it would be from a distance and still in an Entertaining Way!

thus - illusion magic! for this au i've been picturing that he got his paws on some illusionary herb in his early teens. for making people laugh, you know! and help out with the farm - illusions could distract animals, convince them to move on to different pastures, calm the chickens for egg-collecting, etc!

Ms. Beagle didn't really approve, since smoking is harmful, but lucky for the both of them this particular plant doesn't deal as much damage when smoked as normal smoking materials would - like tobacco! something to do with the magic properties! so Barnaby mostly used it for chores (when his mama wasn't paying attention, ofc - it's still a bad habit in her eyes) and entertainment purposes.

how it works: on its own, it doesn't do much when burned. it's not like illusions will waft out of the pipe's bowl, or that sniffing it will give someone hallucinations. in order for it to work properly, the user has to inhale properly, form the Intent of what the illusion should be / look like / behave, then purposefully blow the smoke out with that thought firmly in mind. the reach of the smoke depends on the force of Intent, and the intensity depends on the amount inhaled. those that breathe it in / are surrounded by it will see hallucinations of whatever Barnaby - or whoever the user is - wants them to! it can be literally anything! whether or not the target is fooled depends entirely on the individual, but the herb is potent enough that most are convinced that what they "see" is real (auditory hallucinations only occur if the target breathes in the smoke)

upsides: this form of magic is great for distractions, cover, deescalation, and that kind of thing. if needed, Barnaby could stop a fight with one exhale! it's a pretty powerful trick! it also means that Barnaby has built up a tolerance to illusion magic over the years, so where most of the party would be tricked, Barnaby would be unfazed. the only one with total immunity to the form of magic is Wally!

downsides: if Barnaby uses too much in too short of a time, it will get to him. and since he breathes in the largest amount - undiluted at that - it can fuck him up! using it sparingly / using repeated small amounts doesn't do anything. the most it will do is make him feel slightly untethered, but he has an easy time ignoring it / shaking it off.

in mild cases of the magic getting to him, it's like a bad trip. his proprioception is messed with (basically he gets uncharacteristically clumsy & off-balance), he feels like he's falling, anxiety spikes, and his vision is just... off! there are blind spots (im talking actual blind spots, not spots of black), things are moving in ways that they shouldn't, he has mild auditory hallucinations. the others can help ground him by talking to him, touching him, and confirming what's real and what isn't.

in bad cases, it's like that but 10 times worse. on top of all of the previous symptoms being worsened, he gets extremely vivid hallucinations, and they're very often not fun! it's a simultaneous feeling of dying, going insane, and not knowing what the fuck is going on. Barnaby loses sense of where he is, who's where, what's happening. he can get lost in the hallucinations - he has no way to know that they aren't real. in these terrible trips, no one can really help him. they can't get through the hallucinations, and if they do, the magic morphs Barnaby's perception of them and they end up adding to the effects. honestly the best thing for him is to let him rest somewhere with as little sensory input as possible & leave him be until he starts to come down. physical contact does help, since Barnaby understands on an instinctive level that illusions can't touch him, but it doesn't help half as much as it does w/ the mild trips. and again, the presence of someone can make the hallucinations worse.

so! suffice to say! he doesn't like using the herb all that often, and it's why he Stays Out Of It unless absolutely needed. he has two pouches of the herb - one with the strong stuff, reserved for emergencies / one with just a tiny bit of it mixed in with Barnaby's own personal blend for recreational/everyday use. (he also has an emergency tobacco stash in his pack, but that's only for when he's completely out of his usual blend <3)

extra lil scribble that didn't make it into the lil doodle post... i broke his wrist...

#the undiluted one is the blue/purple/pink smoke #while the personal blend changes color depending on his mood #and the personal blend does Not cause illusions! #the herb is included in the blend for cosmetic effects - colorful smoke! - and it has calming affects #so its. yeah its rgb weed last person nailed it on the head #rambles from the bog #wh fantasy au #the other day i was thinking about howdy's first adventure with the neighborhood #and i was like 'ok situation where barnaby has to use a tad too much of the magic' #and i amused myself imagining howdy's shock and panic when barnaby - steady graceful barnaby #staggers a little. looks up at the trees/skies. goes 'oh no' and promptly stumbles and falls on his face. and then just does not get back u #he has to go get poppy to make sure he isnt hurt / also howdy would Not be able to half-drag barn back to camp on his own #that dog is dead weight and staggering all over the place - if they can even unstick his claws from where he's anchored himself #sometimes barnaby will feel the unpleasant trip Incoming and he'll just. lie down right there and then #facedown. gripping the grass like his life depends on it - and also whoever's closest #frank always leaps out of the way when barn starts to Sway bc he does not want to sacrifice his arm for a solid few hours #usually wally is the one to sit with him and happily get his arm bones squeezed into dust <3 #a common thing is barnaby will be like 'the trees/sky is melting and the ground is turning inside-out' #what does that mean! no one knows! he cant explain it when he sobers up!

Local guy flabbergasted and confused that they are, in fact, not immune to the 2005 movie adaptation of a classic love story.

#the end scene. i hate it i hate it i hate it why was it so cuteeeeee #THE RAIN SCENE. I GET IT. I FUCKING GET IT. #nghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh #ok i am going to fight the love story; damn the love story got hands #also i really like all the nonverbal communication these two got going on. i wish they had more actual conversations. but u can't win them- #all #i do not believe that mr. darcy was truly in kove with elizabeth (at least not from what the movie showed me); attracted sure bit love love #before the rainscene? eh. after the rainscene tho? like. you could see in his face that fuck smth just happened. smth just h a p p e n e d #and i don't blame him cause boy howdy. #that might just be me tho; movie set in a diffrent time; maybe the book has them interacting more etc etc but yeah. the rain scene. #also the dance scene. where they r suddenly alone in the room bc noone else but them matters in that moment? i really liked that. #also mary. i love mary. i love her so much. #the ghost rambles #literally whats my blog this week i am just jumping around at this point

I need to write out my cyberpunk verse for Jess but yall are talking monsters on the dash and I gotta say, Jess must be a werewolf. It's what she deserves and she'd genuinely be happier than as a human.

#➵ ooc: it straight up smells like spiders in here #now what kind of werewolf? there's an argument to be made in favor of being born that way #because inheriting her father's poor anger management can be taken to a whole new level :) #and her mother situating herself as the gothic heroine trapped in the big spooky castle surrounded by monsters!! #her repeated pattern of humiliating jess and trying to maker her feel subhuman only so she can be the one to console her later on and hold #that against her -- 'you were a monster but *i* took you in my arms. *i* accepted you. *i* loved you. who else would do that for you?' etc. #and god. her obsession with jess' hair. literally using hair brushing as punishment. also takes a whole new meaning when jess is a #feral furry little creatchur #HOWEVER #the angle that it was something born out of her rage. a 'curse' but one that she takes in stride and even comes to see as a gift #born of immesurable anger and abuse and trauma and helplessness #but then! she'll show them. she'll show them all #living her best carrie life #and maybe the werewolf is metaphorical maybe that's already what happened to her :) #boy howdy i sure do like talking in the tags #if you've made it this far yeah you can fuck her but she might eat you afterwards it's 50/50 really

[felidthing]

oh my gaaawd yesterday was my second appointment with this new therapist n part way through she mentioned "so it says here you have an autism diagnosis?" just as like. a next step in learning about me but i Do Not Have An Autism Diagnosis so i was like ????????? and it turns out that on whatever intake form my dad filled out (in addition to the form i filled out) i guess he checked off autism as one of the things i was seeking help for. which isnt WRONG but it was JARRING

#so i got to explain my ''ambiguously neurodivergent'' thing to her #but also after the appointment sat down and made notes of all the Symptoms i had so that i can remember everything for the next appt #posts #boy howdy staring at a list of autism traits and asking your friends to tell you any you migyt not have been aware of sure is an experience #i learned that on the rare occasions i do make eye contact with people i blink a ton afterwards. WHAT #also i have the same vibe as my autistic mom. which makes me mean/offputting #honestly that one is a bonus because i DONT LIKE INTERACTING WITH PEOPLE #AS I HAVE SAID MANY A TIME HERE WITH MY WHOLE ''DO NOT ASK TO BE MY FRIEND'' THING #but yeah i have had multiple people tell me they were intimidated by me when we first met. which again is a huge win #bc those were all situations where i was at a gay/trans event and like. im perfectly happy to hang out with a few people for the duration #of an event. but i never try to keep in touch afterwards #even ppl at the trans group i went to every week. i would follow them on social media but never talk to them outside of group #its just how i operate. i rarely hung out with my school friends over summer

mojo dojo casa house

Howdy folks! Sorry for the delay, I was, uhhhh covering the Tour de France. Anyway, I'm back in Chicago which means this blog has returned to the Chicago suburbs. I'm sure you've all seen Barbie at this point so this 2019 not-so-dream house will come as a pleasant (?) surprise.

Yeah. So this $2.4 million, 7 bed, 8.5+ bath house is over 15,000 square feet and let me be frank: that square footage is not allocated in any kind of efficient or rational manner. It's just kind of there, like a suburban Ramada Inn banquet hall. You think that by reading this you are prepared for this, but no, you are not.

Scale (especially the human one) is unfathomable to the people who built this house. They must have some kind of rare spatial reasoning problem where they perceive themselves to be the size of at least a sedan, maybe a small aircraft. Also as you can see they only know of the existence of a single color.

Ok, but if you were eating a single bowl of cereal alone where would you sit? Personally I am a head of the table type person but I understand that others might be more discreet.

It is undeniable that they put the "great" in great room. You could race bicycles in here. Do roller derby. If you gave this space to three anarchists you would have a functioning bookshop and small press in about a week.

The island bit is so funny. It's literally so far away it's hard to get them in the same image. It is the most functionally useless space ever. You need to walk half a mile to get from the island to the sink or stove.

Of course, every McMansion has a room just for television (if not more than one room) and yet this house fails even to execute that in a way that matters. Honestly impressive.

The rug placement here is physical comedy. Like, they know they messed up.

Bling had a weird second incarnation in the 2010s HomeGoods scene. Few talk about this.

Honestly I think they should have scrapped all of this and built a bowling alley or maybe a hockey rink. Basketball court. A space this grand is wasted on sports of the table variety.

You would also think that seeing the rear exterior of this house would help to rationalize how it's planned but:

Not really.

Anyways, thanks for coming along for another edition of McMansion Hell. I'll be back to regular posting schedule now that the summer is over so keep your eyes peeled for more of the greatest houses to ever exist. Be sure to check the Patreon for today's bonus posts.

Also P.S. - I'm the architecture critic for The Nation now, so check that out, too!
