#i don't drive so idk

[minteayoongimakesmewoozi]

having fits actor au brainrot and ayame can't drive.

or, well, no, she can drive, but she's absolutely terrible. no one knows how she passed her driving test. inosuke says her dad probably bribed the instructor to give her a pass. she doesn't even have her own car - she usually borrows her dad's jeep. inosuke also says it's because a normal car wouldn't be able to handle her.

(ayame used to be a pretty cautious driver. then she got to know sanemi.

they worked on a few projects together - one on-screen acting role and a handful of voice acting projects. they're buddies, which is the worst thing to happen when ayame was in her provisional driving year. he was usually the one in the passenger seat and helped her develop allll kinds of bad habits.)

"how bad could it be?" tanjirou asks one day.

inosuke and zenitsu, who have both been in a car with ayame driving, both pale. kanao shakes her head. genya is clueless; he lives in the opposite direction of the others and has thus never carpooled.

"you should ask shinobu-san," kanao says ominously.

tanjirou asks shinobu.

shinobu smiles, looking even more like her fits character. her eyebrow twitches and her hands tighten around her mug.

"do you like feeling like you're about to die with every turn?" she asks pleasantly. "if you're a thrill seeker, ayame-chan is the perfect driver for you. just ask tomioka."

tanjirou asks giyuu.

his gaze gets far away. then, he looks down at his hands and doesn't move for a good fifteen minutes. tanjirou is visibly sweating. if he breaks giyuu before the big hashira scene, the director is going to murder him.

eventually, giyuu shakes his head and sighs.

"i got where i needed to go really fast," he intones.

yeah, tanjirou is scared now.

("i'm not that bad," ayame insists when tanjirou blurts it out. "honestly. if u guys think i'm bad, sanemi-san is even worse. seriously."

tanjirou gets into a van with sanemi at the wheel.

he can see why sanemi is worse.)

was absolutely stopped in my tracks and BLOWN away yesterday at work when a coworker called me pure; I literally haven't been called that in over a decade and there's always been something about it that rubs me the wrong way

#diary comic #there's always been a weird connotation of infantilization about it that drives me absolutely BONKERS #i also think it might be because I don't like wine so i don't social drink with my coworkers and they take it to mean that i don't drink #and it's like no no i do i just drink various liquors and do that in the comfort of my own home lmao #but my god i was shot back to being a kid when i would just act very above board at school and ppl would literally apologize for swearing #like no bestie i'm screaming every obscenity i know just not within your earshot okay #interestingly this never happened at college or grad school #like not even ONCE #so idk what THAT was lol #comic #okay rant over I just holy cow i'm sure it's like a benign comment but what a weird thing to say

shoutout to Dead Poets Society (1989) for taking the intensely British genre of boys' boarding school drama and making it unerringly American

#seriously this is like. a thing. #does anybody else feel this way? #i don't know WHAT it is - just that it's so so american #Neil in particular is such an American character? mm. sometimes he looks like he's just come out of a Norman Rockwell ad #he's very VERY all-American. Todd on the other hand I feel more ambivalent about #and he usually ends up non-American in my fics lol #yeah idk anybody else weigh in? what makes dps so American? #it can't be the high school drama that stuff doesn't weigh in very heavily at least for me. #maybe it's the carelessness + the drive? #dead poets society #dps

[mysteryboy1249]

Y'all who was going to tell me that the "Subaru" in "Okiya Subaru" is legitimately the same kanji as the car brand? And while in disguise, Akai drives a Subaru??

Imagine Akai needing to find a name after faking his death, and a la "Edogawa Conan" naming style, looks at this new car he got for his cover and is like excellent that's my name now. This headcanon now lives rent free in my head.

#silver bullet solidarity at being real fucking bad at creating fake names for themselves #I don't care the real reason he is named okiya subaru is because of the voice actor this is wayyy funnier #the amount of jokes people could make at a man named Subaru driving a Subaru #ain't no way furuya didn't make the connection and constantly bully him for it whenever he's not full of angst and rage towards him #idk why I find this so funny but it makes me cackle so much #the ghost credit imma buy a subaru vine already lives in my head rent free whenever I see a Subaru irl and now this will also pop up #detco #dcmk #akai shuichi #okiya subaru #detective conan #headcanon

Y'know the thing about writing feral/unhinged versions of Orion/Optimus, is that you can't go too far into the feral/unhinged direction to a point where OP's core character traits are lost or become too diminished. After all, in a multiple-continuity franchise like TF, part of what makes the stories make sense is that even if details change (sometimes major details), the characters are still recognizably themselves to one degree or another. (Although this isn't always the case due to executive meddling or some characters being such blank slates from their initial G1 appearances that there's basically nothing to model them off of, but I digress.)

It's pretty much another reason why I love IDW1 Optimus, bc he literally is a canonical feral/unhinged Optimus who's unhinged as a direct consequence of who he is as a person and what he's been through. Like, he still has those fundamental character traits of trying his best to be moral and make good choices, trying to be a role model, etc, except after 4 million years of war and untreated depression he's basically holding onto his sense of self by his fingertips. So when he "goes feral" e.g. losing his temper and beating up/killing people or saying hurtful things, he's feral in a way that's directly tied to his normal personality and not just as a random quirk he has.

IDW OP's feral moments arise from the gaps between "Optimus' attempts to be who he thinks he needs to be" and "the reality of the world that he can't fix/seems to only make worse" that cause him to lose hope, or become cynical, or lose his temper. But in this case, the unhinged-ness makes perfect sense because it arises out of Optimus trying and failing to be the best person or to make the most morally good choices he's trying to make. Basically, the "feral/unhinged" label is just another way of me trying to say that he's not just unhinged because he's weird or because he's a bad person, but because it's an emotional reaction (more like an emotional explosion due to pent-up emotions) to the context he exists in.

I'd also say that IDW OP's personality being generally reserved/stoic and (trying to be) noble works in tandem with those moments he has of going feral because it makes him more realistic. His psyche is treated in a way where the writers are like, "Hey what if the pressure of having to be everyone's idol and be the best person in the galaxy at all times actually broke Optimus down mentally and emotionally?" It makes IDW OP far more relatable. Instead of naturally being a perfect Christ-like figure who never wavers in his morals or convictions and is just naturally a nice person who always has the wisest and best answer, being a good person is something that IDW OP has to consciously strive to be. Even when he feels like it's useless, or the cycle of violence will never stop, or any attempts he makes to help only ends up with things becoming worse.

And I feel like this does a service not only to IDW Optimus as a character, but also as a sort of moral/philosophical perspective for the reader to ponder upon? I feel like culture at large (or at least my experience of it) tends to believe that "goodness" in a person is simply an innate feature that people are born/not born with, and that being "good" means that you must be good at all times, both in your actions as well as the way you feel emotionally about yourself and the world. Like, there's a tendency for our vision of "a good person" to be good in every aspect at all times without having to try to be a good person. So I think IDW Optimus' character stands as a good example of how someone can be good at heart but still struggle to maintain those feelings of optimism and hope and justice. It's a good idea to have such a paragon of a character (in-universe and out-of-universe) be so conflicted and to even be mistaken, misguided, or make things worse because it shows that goodness is as much about "trying to behave/act in a way that is good" and not just "existing as an innately good person."

It's way more realistic for a person to want to be good, try to be good, and sometimes/often fail than it is for them to just be a good person. I enjoy the fact that IDW Optimus is both a good person at heart, but also has to strive to be a good person and live up to other people's expectations of what they see in him. I like how he wants to be a good person and change society for the better, but he also spends a good amount of time either feeling hopeless and alone or being angry at/detached from other people because of how frustrated they make him. He's realistically portrayed as someone who wants to be good and hopeful and change things for the better, but is also mentally and emotionally broken by that burden because of how impossible it is for him to Fix Everything and be the Perfect Prime/Leader/Autobot that people see him as. It's this fascinating mixture of "yes, this is who he is as a person" but also "there are things he desires to be that he could never possibly become or live up to."

This got really far off based from feral/unhinged Optimus sdklfjaslkdlfkas. The TLDR is that if people want unhinged OP, I feel like they should give IDW OP a chance because he IS unhinged but he's unhinged in a way that's a realistic/thematic representation of how being an Absolute Good is impossible. And how being a good person isn't just about Existing And You Are A Good Person, but rather goodness is a constant state of flux in which you adjust, you make mistakes, you lose your temper and feel hopeless, but then you pick yourself up and try again.

Also IDW OP really likes climbing in dangerous wilderness and jumping out of flying vehicles which I think is very feral and sexy of him to do.

#squiggposting #idw op love #idk if i adequately explained it in the body of the post. but i really do feel some kind of way about the idea of like #being a good person isn't about just being static. always being the same person. just naturally being good and nice all teh time #but rather being a good person will cause you to be CHALLENGED and being a good person calls you to ACT #and you WILL make mistakes. there's never a situation in which you're all wise and always have the right solution or are infinitely patient #but goodness is something you can CHOOSE something you can BECOME and you can still have negative emotions and CHOOSE to be good #like being a good person is a continuous process of self improvement. you aren't just born a good person #and i'm not trying to tear down the notion of 'goodness' or say it doesn't exist #rather i'm trying to say that it's far more comforting to hear that you don't have to be The Best Person at all times #it's comforting to know that good people aren't just Effortlessly Good because they were Just Born That Way Naturally #there certainly are some people like that but most of us aren't like that. and i just like idw op for that reason #he shows that like. you can be a fucked up mentally ill guy who despairs and loses his temper and is basically suicidal #but you also still genuinely try to be hopeful and try to help others. like you are good because you Try To Be Good #and you Try To Hold Onto Your Principles bc giving up or becoming evil isn't an option for you #but also trying to be A Good Person drives you fucking crazy bc we live in a universe where that perfect good simply isn't possible #so the result is an optimus who's at once Noble Paragon and Unhinged bc he's unhinged as a result of trying to be a paragon

as someone who is used to blurting out every single idea i have about my fics the second it occurs to me, WRITING A FIC AND KEEPING THINGS TO YOURSELF IS SO HARD I AM ONLY 4 CHAPTERS IN HOW DO PEOPLE DO THIS

#kayla rambles #mtl fic #idk how long it'll be exactly but probably in the range of 15-20 chapters? #possibly not that long because i do seem to be combining chapters from my initial outline #but i also never finished the initial outline so we shall see #and i'm still making things up as i go too... #but kjsdbfkdsbj driving me insane that people cannot grasp the full extent to which this is driving me insane #even my discord friends for the most part don't know what this is about which is WILD let me tell you #but yes this secret fic has consumed all waking thoughts for the past 5 days it's insane hehe

every time i see a post that is like "ughh why cant we have aspec characters who aren't aroace for once" I have to do a double take like "is the aroace rep in the room with us right now?" because genuinely....where is all this aroace rep y'all are complaining about? Why cant i find it yet it's apparently the only aspec rep we get?? You admit that TV never says the word aromantic so where is the aroace rep. So far I've pretty much only seen canonically asexual characters and not much else buddy.

#text #half the time i think these ppl see other aspec ppl saying that x character feels aroace and then they take it as canon rep #instead of an interpretation of the character which likely was never meant to be written as aspec at all #because majority of people don't even know what that is #this isn't me saying that we shouldn't have aroallo or alloace rep btw #this is me complaining about people throwing aroace ppl under the bus because apparently we are 'hogging' all the representation in media #and it just reads as people being aphobic towards aroace people specifically and it drives me insane #you can ask for more aroallo and alloace characters without complaining and shitting on aroace characters???? #like bro we are all on the same fucking team. we are all trying to get seen and understood. we all want to see ourselves in media #stop fighting like one of us is somehow way more privileged than the other because 'you have x rep' #we all have crumbs my guy. just because someone else is getting crumbs doesn't mean that its your crumbs being taken. #idk i see so many posts like this and it makes me feel so unwelcome in the aro and ace communities #im tired of aroace people being used as a scapegoat that you can target to pretend like you're punching up #when in reality you're just committing friendly fire against people who are on your team #i miss when the aro and ace communities used to like... work together as a big aspec community #now ppl r way too focused on separating them and acting like they have nothing in common and don't have the same goals #and both communities now tend to put a lot of blame onto aroace people because of stereotypes we never had control over in the first place #it's exhausting #like the aphobia is coming from inside the house #i didn't go through the ace discourse on tumblr to deal with this shit.

I started watching Scott Pilgrim Takes Off and then left in episode 3 and started watching The Nanny instead... ADHD am i right?

Anyway I am down bad. Here are doodles to prove it, so the judge will take my side and arrest Jason Schwartzman for all the damage he did to my mind :)

Inspo:

#like i said. i only watched 3 episodes and saw screncaps of Gideon being a pathetic wet cat of a man #so that's the force that's driving me right now #this is most likely ooc for him but i don't care cuz i can draw what i want and no one can stop me!!!! #please stop me #and please let me punch Jason Schwartzman on his face. i hate him #my art #spto #Gideon Graves #Gordon Goose #scott pilgrim takes off #next thing you know I'll be watching all of Jason's filmography #why am i like this??? #Gideon Graves x self insert #btw that's me in the spto style. forgot to mention #he'd make a good stay at home wife #if i misspelled anything.... idk it's 5am give me a break

[missycolorful]

Okay, so now that's two people (or one person and one egg) who are at the very least aware that Sunny doesn't feel comfortable around Philza, so that means that someone will talk about this with Phil eventually, so we can put an end to this one-sided conflict fueled by miscommunication that's honestly been going on for far too long, right?

Right? Please? :D

#qsmp neg #sorry it's one of my least favorite tropes EVER. i hate miscommunication being the driving force of any conflict it makes the story drag #and the longer the miscommunication goes the harder it is to stay invested and so the story just feels stale #esp when it's clear that one side is completely unaware and the other is not communicating for one reason or another #respect to the admin obviously sunny's a well-rounded kid who's allowed to do/feel whatever she wants go off queen #I just don't like when a conflict's resolution can be made w/ something as simple as A Conversation #idk i'd rather phil actually have beef with a child willingly as opposed to this i'd get a kick outta that shit lmaooo

...Something that's been lurking in my brain, so I'm inflicting it on everyone else: Considering that illithid Durge is also viable for the feral ending, there's a whole brand new shiny level of monster fucking going on in there.

Illithid are oviparous. The many things Bhaal is playing mad scientist breeding games with are not.

"New creatures will be grafted... such is the power of the Divine Essence." "Think me not a slave to mere nature: the children will be most beautiful."

They're sure going to be something, yes.

#Getting the ability to talk to beasts is a bit odd though: Gnolls can speak common and I'm pretty sure Worgs can too #I... don't even think illithid HAVE sex drives so sending one into a hypersexual nightmare sure is something #Or maybe they're just in the mood for it three times in their life - or are the eggs are fertilised externally? idk #The books don't seem to like lingering on mind flayer sex. #edgelord hours #/durge #babbling

being able to drive really will improve my life tons I need to get on that. Living here wouldn't be so hurts if I could take day trips out of town by myself every once in a while

#talkys #i. dont know if ive decided on doing this yet #but maybe if im able to drive to the point of driving out of town #ill make hrt appt (all clinics are like 2 hrs away) and start T while living here. #it will be very scary and risky. #but i don't think itd be smart to make my life 10000x harder by trying to move out solely so i can go on T. #my biggest fear rn is my parents are always looking for something to be wrong with me so i fear theyd find #a way to get the medical info out of me. and theyd obviously notice the changes. but idk. idk #im not going to be able to move out anytime soon. and im so tired. im only getting older. i dont want to be older w.o it.

[femmeidiot]

I need 2 be braver about enforcing my pronouns with people

#But I always exist in a weird limbo space because I've never even come out to my parents as an adult #that doesn't mean I didn't try to when I was a kid or that they didn't read my journal one time and find out about my first girlfriend #And then my dad took me on a weird hour long drive to tell me about how I was an evil sinner and then bought me kfc biscuits so I lied and #told my parents I was straight now #but anyway no one in my family besides my sister actually KNOWS anything about my gender or sexuality #and so idk I'm good at just like keeping it to myself in general I know I look feminine and and I'm not bothered by most feminine terms #but idk it does make me sad that most people still don't see me fully #anyway idk there's some trauma bye

One of the things I really love about Pat's character is the way that in both the episodes that centre him (1x3 - Happy Death Day and 4x7 - It's Behind You) focus on the way that Pat is honoured and loved through Daley and the rest of his family. We see a lot of instances throughout the show of that being a father is a core part of Pat's personality, and by putting an emphasis on the ways that Pat lives on through his family the show further highlights this. Daley seems to show this the most, which is not that surprising given Carol was cheating on Pat for most of the marriage. The fact that they all visit Button House on Pat's death day and the way Daley mimics his dad in the home video is genuinely so heartwrenchingly beautiful, and I love it so much. It is so fitting for the character, and a really beautiful way to explore Pat's past!

#cat.txt #bbc ghosts #bbc ghosts spoilers #I love the christmas special so much it is genuinely my favourite episode #or at least really high up there #I love how Pat the family man is continuously honoured by his family #also carol being slightly unhappy about pat filming everything was kinda sad #like their marriage was a collosal failure in retrospect and while Pat wasn't the most attentive husband and did drive her away with his #rigidity she was the one who cheated on him and therefore the worse offender and seeing her be like 'don't film me' idk it just makes me sa #because it reminds me of how there marriage was kinda bad (as much as Pat loves Carol still) #anyway i have so many feelings about Pat he is such an amazing character #pat my beloved #pat butcher
