#i was in high school when it aired

[seeminglyseph]

I feel like Zuko is the embodiment of that one post like “mama may not have raised a quitter, but she did raise a fool, and it turns out that is a terrible combination.”

Which is probably why he’s one of the most relatable characters in media.

#atla zuko #I was half way to saying this about Sokka and realized technically it doesn’t quite work #but the ways in which it does inform why they make good foils #and why Zuko and Katara make good foils #and why I was a diehard zutara back when the show was airing #god that takes me back #I was in high school when atla was on tv #I bought the first season on individual DVDs… I feel a million years old #I made amvs to book one with no context #why does that feel like a million years ago???

This is niche (maybe) but please share more about ice and mav at Oshkosh!! Do they go yearly? Or just the one time? Are they part of any aviation enthusiast communities???

yes yes yes!!! going to air shows is 100% a date for both of them. i feel like: a couple things:

- they’ve both probably seen the blue angels so many times it’s not super exciting anymore, and until they retire & become private citizens it’s also too big of a Thing for them to go, so they try to go to civilian/private air shows if they can

- one exception is fleet week for obvious rzns. They both probably have to do shit for fleet week on the reg. Ice especially

- i do keep thinking it would be funny for mav to do like a two year tour with the BAs at some point but there wasn’t room for that in the narrative so it’s Schrödinger’s headcanon

- before they retire their schedules are super crazy packed & don’t always line up, even if they request certain dates (like each other’s birthdays, Xmas, thanksgiving, Oshkosh etc) off in advance, so Oshkosh specifically doesn’t become yearly until after they retire. But after they retire they do annually fly in to Oshkosh in their p-51. lots of picnic lunch breaks in Reno/Omaha/Boise etc

- theyve been to the big international air shows (farnborough, Paris, NOT dubai for security/gay people issues, etc) together a couple times when they can swing it. (Me looking for any excuse to send them back to europe on vacation) but before they retire it’s also probably a Thing. So Thing-ness (public & Navy engagement etc) has to be accounted for when they’re planning their trip. they do have a responsibility to rep the Navy as best as they can etc etc

- Thing-ness also has to be accounted for when joining aviation enthusiast groups… after they retire & get married hell yes!!! they probably have a ton of civilian aviation friends & are pretty involved. not before their marriage though. It takes a while for them to come out of the hidden little shell they’ve been living in for thirty years & make friends as a real couple. but they do eventually.

#maverick criticizing the blue angels every time they see them ‘I would’ve done it cooler’ #joint blue angels thunder birds show ‘oh my god. WHAT does the Air Force think they’re doing. such poor form #it’s such a shame to abuse a viper like that i would’ve done it 10x better’ #this one-shot is another one i haven’t read since I posted it in October #hmm. #some issues #PLANES DONT RUST THEYRE ALUMINUM (but it’s for the metaphor so it’s ok) #i think when you read my plane writing moments you can tell that i am very very enthusiastic about planes #but i don’t know the first thing about how they work or how to fly them #my boyfriend did my physics homework & took my physics tests for me in high school. i never learned even elementary physics #it was covid high school okay we all had to make do #bernouilli’s principle??? it’s all greek to me love <3 #(hungry for pussy voice) (twirling my hair) pressure differentials are like soooo interesting #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #icemav #top gun #asks #props to all you STEM people. i can’t do basic math #i keep entertaining the idea that ice & mav buy a t-38 in the late 2010s #after i saw a t-38 on sale for $800k apparently you can just buy them #that’s the dream

beginning to realise i have a type when it comes to anime characters and it's boys who can play piano.

#soul eater #soul eater evans #d gray man #allen walker #trigun stampede #vash the stampede #ouran high school host club #ohshc #tamaki suoh #ohshc tamaki #like should have realised when i had a crush on soul and tamaki as a kid #bonus points if they have pronouns and by that i mean i have looked at them and assigned them trans which is most of them #oh god i almost forgot adrien #adrien agreste #miraculous ladybug #adrien isn't technically an anime boy but he's an anime fanboy so he counts #like when ml started coming out adrien had me in a chokehold #what's really funny is i was adrien's age when ml first aired and now i'm 22 #like i remember having a crush on him and now i'm just like 'haha that's my dumbass son' #which is super weird to think about #maybe i should add this to realisations i regret #also why do all these fucks have white/blonde hair #ok i think vash's hair technically goes black towards the end of the manga but stilllll

We talk a lot about the swing set right? But do we talk about how Mike and Will would’ve been little menaces at recess? Miwi single handedly got the school to make rules for the swings. Like, no standing on the swings, no climbing to the top of it, no lying across both swings and getting pushed by someone, no swinging as high as possible and jumping off to see how far you go, no hanging onto the sides of the swing set and letting go at the same time to crash into someone else, one person per swing, no wrapping the swings around each other so you spin around as it unravels, no hanging onto the swing after you push someone so you get lifted off the ground, etc.

#byler #miwi #was I part of the reason my elementary school put tubes on the swing chanins #so we couldn’t do stupid- fun- stuff with them? #I guess we’ll never know #… it was actually the high school kids that somehow managed to #wrap the chains around each other and get the swing stuck on the top bar so no one could use it #but whatever #I’m pretty sure I #helped get ‘jumping off the swing in the air so it flung you’ banned though #because my joints are a bit flimsier than they should be #and it very obviously hurt me when I landed #and I think one of the supervisors noticed that and was like- don’t do that anymore #…whoops

it’s slowly dawning on me what the primary unavoidable issue with scream au is going to be & it’s embarassing but it’s honestly that scream is by definition fresh & new & in with the times & relevant & self aware & im a 90s & early 2000s girly. earlier I questioned if “computer class” was still a thing / a relevant way to reference that these high schoolers are learning computer stuff that could be helpful to ghostface. currently rewatching scream mtv & while I’m aware a lot of the language around social media & texting MUST be dated given this aired when I was in high school it all feels fresh & new to me. I can do my best but I can’t promise to actually be as modern as scream should be so sorry 🫶😂

#scream au #yeahhhh ok #scream mtv which I remember airing when I myself was in high school feels fresh & relevant #um. also the whole thing where I wasn’t quite sure how to frame the computer class part #yall. I’m doing my best but I’m old (27) 💀🤣🤣

reading A Game of Thrones... they are all so young it feels crazy

#i watched it kinda while it was airing when i was in middle school through high school #and ik in part it is because it would be hard to cast even younger kids than they already did #but they are all so young!!! ned's whole generation is in their early 30s! robb and jon are 14 then 15... daenerys turns 14... #crazy #i just think about how small these people would be lol

It’s 12:51am and I’m eating pringles, drinking a way too large strawberry margarita (the cheap gallon bottled ones you can buy in the shop that don’t taste the best but definitely get you a bit off your trolley), and crying over Lockwood & Co/Taylor Swift/Doctor Who/my cats

#this is my last weekend being unemployed!!! #and it’s a long weekend!! #and I’m angry at Netflix!!! #and I love my cats and Taylor Swift!!!! #and rewatching Doctor Who is bringing up repressed emotions from high school!!!!! #not this season I was out of college when season 9 was airing but still #personal #doctor who #Lockwood & co #Lockwood and co #Taylor swift

A certain blue-haired blowhard and his closest friend may have gotten a tad closer than usual one night during winter break. Now, he’s mentally running down the “A Pregnancy Was Just Announced To Me” FAQs list as a conversation with his long-time pal suddenly feels like the most painfully uncomfortable case of having to make small talk in the world. Ugh, I hate when that happens!

#my art #fanart #mpreg #context (?): apparently jonesy came home from his 2nd semester of college (a party school across the country) for his father’s 50th b-day #jen was living at home like i mentioned one time before and she invited jude to the party as well #so she could force-smash the two together in her room like barbie dolls so jude could make the all-important announcement #and at first when jude came out with the news jonesy frowned briefly before erupting in high-pitched laughter #🤣 #jen (scowling darkly): jonesy! why are u laughing?! #jude (raucous laughter from him cutting thru the air as well): hahahaha! i totally got you bro! ahahaha! #defending his sudden detour into “just a prank”-ville to jen later on: #i didn’t know the dude was gonna laugh… i think i was freaking him out! #so naturally the pair have to clear the air later that same day and this is where this exchange pictured here comes in #also when jonesy basically asked how far along he was jude said: #well the last time the slimy-wand-thingamabob dude said i was 7 weeks and that was like the friday before last so now i’m probably… #let’s see…subtract the one…carry the five…186 weeks or something #jonesy: boy am i glad you suck at math! #i’ve had bits and pieces of this conversation floating around in my head for ages XD

Yall ever just KNOW what you wouldve been like in a different life. I know in an alternate life where im either less smart, the us government is better (ha), or i was raised conservative i would have joined the military. Its just too easy they pay for your college come on

#when i was a teenager the propoganda in captain marvel was so good i looked up the us air force college #a girl in my high school went to one of their free colleges and the military man came and gave her a big paper check for how much #the inaginary tuition would have cost her if they did charge #now im looking for jobs and its like: biological scientist... on a us air force base

you ever have a dream that's so strange but like still sort of realistic that you wake up slightly disoriented and struggling to connect with reality

#i had a dream that i showed up at my old high school #because for some reason i had come home for the weekend on a friday #and i rode into my school on the train (there is not a train not even close to my school) #and i went in and my whole school was like remodeled and i was like wtf #and then i talked to a staff member and like the way kids learned changed #so they played like this stupid video game or something and if they got enough points they learned a fun fact #and that was what school was #i literally looked this teacher in the face and said “that is fucked up i am going to the band room” #so i went and hugged my band director and aired my grievances which is pretty normal #and there were like 10 kids in the band class #and the dream ended with all of them going into the band closet #because they seemed shocked when i informed them there was some percussion equipment in there #bc the drum kit in the band room only had a bass drum and a floor tom for some reason

I wish Spotify put half as much effort into not recommending me artists I told it to never play as it does in telling me something is old.

Sure this My Darkest Days album is from 2010, I was there when it came out, but I still do not want to listen to FUCKING SKILLET.

Ever.

#want to watch me dissolve into a fit of rage with unintelligible essays that band will do it #'but you like rock' yeah and jesus freak music is not rock fuck right off #so many of my friends in high school loved bc it went well with youth group and them wanting to pretend they were badass #without growing the spine to own it #friends is in air quotes bc they were awful humans in the end #theres a reason why i fucked all their significant others. revenge is a dish best served kinky #and then i really pissed them off when i got with Hubs. damn right im a man stealer. #those cunts couldnt appreciate a good man if he gave them the world #the witch speaks

okay i have my fan going fast enough it sounds like it’s going to fly off the ceiling and kill me maybe i still have a chance at life

#basically my friend and i were literally talking the other day about how I’m not a particularly high maintenance traveller #but one thing I will not budge on (if I’m booking it myself) is that there has to be A/C #and I was saying yeah it’s not even that I necessarily need it like super cold or anything #it’s just that when I overheat it’s like one sensory thing too much with all my other symptoms #and fuck if that hasn’t been true since moving into my dorm #because of course i agreed to move back into the non air conditioned dorms because like genuinely it’s usually so nice all you need is a fan #but ig cause it’s August or cause my health or whatever it’s just been fucking hot as balls #and today especially since I’ve been mostly in bed with my period kicking my ass #it’s just been driving me insane #like i can mostly handle the pain but I just can’t handle the heat like I finally moved my boxes to be out of the way #cause I finally admitted to myself I’m not unpacking them in my current state #and I shed tears over how hot it was just moving boxes like four feet #and like please let it be clear I don’t live somewhere actually hot like im not doxxing myself #but like it’s nice outside but for some reason inside is just gross and on top of my fucking pain it’s too much #i also just I fucking hate move in so much #and I hate that i’m gonna have to text or call my mom and be like yeah im not coming to visit you this coming weekend cause im already dying #and the school year hasn’t started? #like I just tried so hard when I got here to be like ‘yes this is my year for real everything’s gonna be great’ and I just #i’m like one day into being in pain and i’ve lost my mind I can’t even think straight #i KNOW it’s my period I know it’ll last at most a week but it’s so scary everytime that it’s going to last forever cause it used to #im so scared about being an adult I don’t even feel like I can get through this school year but at least this is like. a specific task. what #the fuck am I supposed to do after that when it’s nonspecific #why does everything hurt #why do my arms hurt like that’s not a thing #my fucking throat?! #my legs are obviously killing me cause that’s a near constant these days #my headache isn’t terrible but it’s not great #and my fucking stomach #i think move in should be illegal and chronic pain should be outlawed and I think my parents should call me because what the fuck #boom’s bad days
