X for the Veterans? Just like you did for the warriors, thanks ❤️

you got it nonnie! i havent uploaded anything in a while bc I Am Burnt Out from life so i hope this isnt garbage <33 i only wrote hanji, levi and erwin bc i wasnt sure if i should write like... rico, moblit, mike, the other dudes, but i can do them later if you ask?

alsoooo i have a lot of full fic drafts that i physically cannot work on bc im exhausted so you should send me letters for this hc game !!

hc game

tags: fluffy for the most part, not all romantic once again, modern au

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

levi ackerman:

ok this one is like really random but you know youtube/tiktok like asmr/aesthetic housework vlogs and videos? i feel like levi would take up making them. and all the comments would be full of people saying his house looks sterile and asking for cleaning tips lol. when he does his face reveal his follower count like triples and levi is just like "oh it must be the mopping hack i posted." and you just nod in agreement bc he was rlly proud of that one.

this is entirely me feeding into househusband levi au but he is apart of the neighborhood housewife association (even if he does work) and he is beloved by everyone in it bc he always offers to clean up and makes the best tea. even if he isnt a househusband hes still allowed to join because hes really useful even if he isnt good at socializing. like people could ask for cleaning tips and stuff and he will go really deep into details.

he doesnt like to drive. would rather take public transport, walk or ride his bike, or have you drive him everywhere. i think he has a license just in case but he avoids using it as much as possible. he gets really bad road rage and it just makes him really nervous (especially if theres other people in the car). he prefers sitting in the passenger seat next to you because its really calming and he feels sort of protected. since he cant take like the train to carry all the stuff he buys from the wholesale store for his teashop you guys block out a day of you driving him there so he can buy tea leaves and napkins. if you cant drive he gets erwin to take you both and you just end up doing the heavy lifting lol.

hanji zoe:

they are like equally the worst and best caretaker ever when you get sick. like they can tell you what you have (if its not life threatening) just by looking at you and can get you all the best home remedies and medicine but theyre really reckless. they make a mess in the kitchen when they make you soup and they hold you too close and end up catching whatever you have lol.

dont go to any sort of supermarket with them. actually dont run any errands with them. you will get so sidetracked it will be awful. but hanji doesnt realize that theyre distracting you from everything so they give you puppydog eyes when youre about to leave without them so they end up coming and by the time you get to the bank its closed because you had to stop by a stream and look at turtles. eventually you learn to just do your errands on days where theyre working.

falls asleep with their eyepatch on. you asked them why once and they said its just comfortable and they've gotten really used to it. so every morning they take it off to shower and they have red marks on their face from the elastic and they look rlly menacing lolol

erwin smith:

everyone says he is like a grandpa on social media and dont get me wrong i agree! but i think he is one of those corporate professionals that posts like really cringy motivational quotes on linkedin. connie and sasha make like burner accounts and comment stupid copypastas or troll underneath his posts in the comments and he just replies with "I'm sorry, I am a bit confused. Care to elaborate? Thank you, Erwin Smith" which makes them lose their fuckin minds they find it hilarious

good at pairing wine with certain dinners or cheeses. the man can appreciate cheeseboards. i feel like he holds fancy dinner parties or potlucks that many people only come to for good wine. when eren or jean need to take a fancy bottle for some occasion like meeting their s/o's parents or something he helps them pick something out. he also ties their ties and lends them cuff links. dad friend <3

ends up driving levi to run errands when levi's partner is not available. they hang out a lot so they kind of like coordinate times to go grocery shopping or get some new furniture together. they get mistaken for a couple a lot and when people ask if they are he just goes "No, I have a very beautiful partner who I love a lot!" and levi just rolls his eyes lol

#erwin smith x reader #levi ackerman x reader #levi ackerman x y/n #levi x reader #erwin x reader #hanji zoe x reader #aot x you #aot imagines #aot x y/n #aot x reader #snk x y/n #snk x you #snk x reader #attack on titan x you #attack on titan x reader #shingeki no kyojin x you #shingeki no kyojin x reader #hanji x reader

jojo’s and their phones headcanons,modern au!

Johnathan

samsung 7

he would have your WHOLE name but with a bunch of emojis

don’t get me started on the internet slang , someone please teach him what “period” means

yes , he has a wallet case

he holds his phone with BOTH hands , please someone teach him it’s not going anywhere

takes pictures like a facebook mom

yes he uses the back camera

also doesn’t understand memes so hearing that “he’s built different” he’d be so confused and would lose his shit

Joseph

his phone is cracked don’t talk to me

yes , yes he does have a flip phone

this man ironically uses the laughing emoji just to piss people off

uses “KFNISJDISNDKSNS” and no one knows what he’s talking about but jolyne, josuke & giorno

always spamming copypastas and chainmail

just know this mf has the most annoying RINGER OR NOTIFICATION SOUND

between him and jolyne, it only gets worse from hearing “bababooey” everytime he gets a notification

Jotaro

he signs his text messages

his contact names are everyone’s full government name WITH a period next to it

his phone is on military time

his voicemail is so deadpan, like “busy, call later - Dr. Kujo”

his phone case is just black , or he probably has an otterbox

may or may not have a picture of him and jolyne as his home screen, but his lock is probably the default apple live wallpaper

he is the type to leave people on read sksjsjsn

Josuke

all of his contact names are chaotic

example : rohan’s name is “twink who needs to shut up💅🏽”

koichi’s is “5’2 ig”

yukako’s is “i’m scared to put a diff name”

okayasu’s is “gucci gang , partner in crime 😏‼️🕺🏽”

jotaro’s is “go to THERAPY please”

joseph’s is “old ass”

yes his camera roll is full of reaction memes

he does his widgets and anyone else who asks

he has a deco-den case but he doesn’t put it on often because he doesn’t want it to break

his live wallpaper is probably a video edit

Giorno

he has the latest iphone , no doubt about it

has so MANY pictures of himself

has so many pictures of his friends also

feel like he has two phones , one for mafia business and the other is personal

yes one of them is always on dnd, so 7/10 he won’t answer lmao

he doesn’t care for widgets but would rather his phone organized

he doesn’t mind calling but he would rather texting so he can be more blunt , and voice notes are an in between

he has to have those fancy pom pom cases or just something dramatic like the phone cases with the chains in them

giorno takes a while to understand internet memes so 8/10 he responds with serious intent to whatever jolyne or joseph says to him

he leaves someone on read if he’s bored of the conversation, or would say “lol” and nothing else

his text “tone” is so confusing

Jolyne

ALSO ironically uses the laughing emoji just to piss off joot

her favorite emojis look like 😏😂🥱🗿

all her contacts have emojis next to them

ngl joot’s name was probably “sperm donor” at one point

SO MANY GAMES , someone please take her phone and clear it for her

her favorite app is probably twitter just to be messy

has most definitely sent voice notes of just her screaming

yes she teaches johnathan tiktok dances

her phone case is probably filled with stickers

——————————————————————————

rain and i thought of these at like 5am so we hope you guys like them as much as we did

That Christmas thing!

I’ve been thinking about this a lot since it’s that time of year and there are a lot more new people on my blog/in the fandom than I really anticipated. I’ve made jokes about it before like “haha the annual Christmas post” but I’m getting the sense that I have a lot of minors following me now so I want to be extremely transparent with you guys. It’s a really funny joke to me to reblog this every year to the extent that it’s become a tradition, but the last thing I want is to make people uncomfortable or to see something they didn’t want to against their will. Let me explain this the most blunt way I possibly can

You see this ornament? This is the absolute worst designed Christmas ornament known to man. Gaze upon it. For reasons unknown to pretty much everyone, the designers of this ornament thought it would be great to have Pinky throwing it back so it looks like...well you can see it lol. It’s so poorly designed it’s delightful (to me anyway. your mileage may vary on that). Now imagine if you will, a series of two pictures based on this. I will describe it to you behind the cut below in case people don’t want to read the details, but if you want to know what will be shown it’s as described.

Basically, they’re non-graphic (in my opinion as no genitals are shown, and if there were I wouldn’t put that on my blog, I promise) pornographic drawings based on the cursed Christmas ornament. What I was thinking was I could post a warning before reblogging them (and tagging at as NSFW obviously so people can block it!)? Because I don’t believe I can put a post that I’m reblogging under a cut (but if I can let me know?) But I’m definitely open to suggestions about this. I just want to stress that I DO NOT want to surprise people with highly suggestive or graphic content. It’s just been a yearly thing for a while now and normally I’ve reblogged it without a care because I’m an adult and so were the other fandom people I was interacting with as it was a pretty old fandom until now.

Sorry it’s a weird post and I’m sure people are more confused than anything! (honestly, describing this is making me feel like I’m writing a bizarre copypasta) If anyone has suggestions such as “maybe do this” or “why even post it then you idiot” (just because I do every year tbh and some people like it. like one year I was late to it and my irl friend was literally like, Mage where’s the pictures? it’s tradition!) I want to take people’s thoughts into account specifically because I don’t know the audience of my blog and I dunno. I want people to feel comfortable in fandom spaces.

So here’s what they look like. The first picture is Pinky coyly pointing at the sleigh, which has a rather festive buttplug mounted to it. The second looks like the ornament above. You definitely know what is going on in this image. No genitals are shown but you obviously know the buttplug is up this mouse’s butt idk how else to say it lol. Those are the pictures. Merry Christmas.

#pinky and the brain #idk I was just starting to feel like it was my moral responsibility to say something before I decided anything on my own #it's all in good fun and I never took it particularly seriously before #maybe I'm even overthinking it but I'd rather be on the safe side #at the very least people can get a kick out of the ornament though fr

Photo

i know these photos been posted, and i know its the dailyfail, back to their usual bullshit of recycling their cHiLdAbUsEr copypasta on every single post, but i just wanted to say its fucking amusing how the pappy following him around seems to be a wannabe fashion photographer lol. in which case i can’t fault the choice of target technically, cause lets be honest few people can dress themselves more fabulously than mf on a daily basis, and even their fuckwad writers/editors can’t help but compliment his style.

AND MY GOD DOES HE LOOK FUCKIN FIIINNEEE.

also his hair is fucking lethal when he grows it out. did i mention the scruff? fuck me. fuck us all. yes i know that is a lot of fucks for one post i swear my vocabulary isn’t usually as limited as that but LOOK at the fucking MAN. JEEBUS LORD HAVE MERCY. if i sound like my brain is broken now, that’s because it is, and it’s his fault.

#martin freeman #martin fashionman #DADDY #silver fox #dilf af #main point of this post is not the photos #just needed to get that rant off my chest #martin broke my brain with his sex godliness

Video

youtube

Happy Halloween everyone!!!

So yeah, this was meant to be my Halloween upload, but then I got a case of stage fright and mental “bleh” so that got delayed. But hey it’s still closer to Halloween than Christmas so I’m going to call that a win!

This is a reading of the wonderful short story written by @eatbreathewrite based on the concept of an old woman accidentally summoning a demon, then mistaking it for her goth-phase grandson. It was such a fun little story I was inspired to share it. BUT the video is not monetized because the author never got back to me on approving that.

(Also sorry the audio is a bit hard to listen too, my gain was a bit too high when I recorded and I couldn’t quite salvage it :< )

I have more to say, but putting it under a break thing to keep the post length reasonable lol.

Actually I think I’ll just copypasta what I put in the video description, because it’s basically everything I wanted to say here ^^;

Also sorry for disappearing for months on end...again, lol. It seems like every time I put something out I’m like “This is it! This is the comeback you’ve been waiting for!” And then it’s not. And it feels that way to me too. I guess the best way I can describe it is a mixture of stage fright and fear of the compounding disappointment that comes with having to wait so long.

Even though NONE of you have expressed anything remotely near disappointment. And I thank you for that <3 I’ve been meaning to start live streaming on Mondays since that’s my day off, but I had a case of that stupid stage fright last week. I’ll keep trying though. And keep putting out videos. The next 2 I have lined up are a reading of a fan-made Undertale story, and the first chapter of Their Wings from the Heavenfell series. And The Scientist once I get those two out, since I already have them recorded.

A few things have helped me get back on my feet, here. My new SO has been very supportive and helpful, in the gentle but firm way that apparently I need. The realization that sometimes worrying about your creative project being “perfect” isn’t as important as just getting it “done” has also been enlightening (which is why this video is pretty plain with the white backgrounds, lol). I’ve been watching a ton of Critical Role lately, and seeing such amazing creative energy from professional voice actors is really inspiring. And of course the long history of all of your gentle support as well.

So yeah, still going over here. I’ve been trying to think of a way to stay more regularly in touch that I won’t get avoidant about like I can on my tumblr. Maybe a Discord? Still adjusting to that idea. Or maybe just making sure to post something every day on Tumblr lol. So yeah, that’s where I’m at right now.

OH I guess I could stream editing all those comics I read before? I really like that idea actually. Anyway thank you THANK YOU and enjoy <3

#audiobook #short story #eatbreathewrite #halloween #writing prompt #voice acting #anette #whew what else #how do tags even work #I'm thinking I should either make a discord or force myself to post here regularly #need to stay in contact lol

@loreyrs I can’t @ you but I went to respond to your comment on that other post, and accidentally a bit of a rambly rant after writing the answer, and I didn’t want to entirely hijack @warmaster-aranaies‘s post like a butthole laskudflkg

We did get one other thing in LW4! It brought us the...frankly ENTIRELY out of left field “Darkness pays Orr a visit” poem subplot. I joined this game around the same time @commander-thiernaen did, so I got to Jahai a little later than most people, but I was playing when the episode dropped. I remember the utter confusion spread over the handful of people I’d followed at that point in time, “Wait why are they bring up Trahearne NOW of all times?” On top of that, it was a love??? poem????? Going back to Personal Story sappy soft Trahearne content out of NOWHERE and then...IMMEDIATELY dropping him again. Directly after the line is read and the Commander comments. Bam. He’s vanished again.

Not in the Mist Wardens. Not in the ‘hey we have a message from Glint!’ moment but I GUESS SNAFF HAS A REASON TO POP UP? COOL FANSERVICE NICE TO SEE HIM I GUESS? Snaff’s cool just. Like I guess it’s cuz they had fought Kralk in the past? But we had zero indication that Trahearne didn’t intend to see the dragon threat to the end. The closest I can recall to us being able to say anything about missing him or feeling guilty or sad or anything is when we find that poem, honestly.

And then back to as if he never existed at all. We have limited knowledge of the extent of Taimi and Trahearne’s interactions. No idea if they were super close, etc. If it was LW1 content then LOL FAT CHANCE AT US NEWCOMERS KNOWING THAT? Perhaps it was an optional dialog in an earlier story that I missed? But they just go “btw Taimi n Trahearne talked poetry once upon a time anyway back to Kralk,” and no elaboration. No payoff. Considering how War Eternal ended, it does seem like the theory about ‘it was gonna end here’ has at least a sliver of weight to it, and if so? They woulda dropped that with zero chance of ever paying it off, huh. I’ve been watching that

More analysis lbr it’s nitpicking under the cut

Anet seems to do...interesting and experimental things with narrative a lot. In recent years there’s been a big trend of ‘oh we have to shock and surprise the audience they can’t predict it ahead of time! bad bad bad!’ in media, and while the lead narrative folks on GW2 have talked on and on about how one cannot expect instant gratification, how people expect instant payoff, at least in the case of those ranting about, say, Almorra being (apparently?? maybe?) succeeded by Jhavi instead of the prior ESTABLISHED SUCCESSOR Laranthir, or the people ranting about Trahearne VANISHING AND REAPPEARING RANDOMLY IT SEEMS, there are a few narrative/dramatic concepts that they seem to...take really skewed opinions on?

To get my Wikipedia copypasta on:

Chekhov's gun is a dramatic principle that states that every element in a story must be necessary, and irrelevant elements should be removed; elements should not appear to make "false promises" by never coming into play. The statement is recorded in letters by Anton Chekhov several times, with some variation:

"Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there." "One must never place a loaded rifle on the stage if it isn't going to go off. It's wrong to make promises you don't mean to keep." "If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired. Otherwise don't put it there."

I’d personally count things like the Orr poem as a currently unfired gun. It’s sitting there. Drawn attention to in main story. Even has optional dialog in the Priory!

Moving onto the other point that came to mind, it’s not as if Arenanet is UNAWARE of this, right? In the company’s job postings for narrative stuff, there’s even a line “Unafraid to make tough calls, embrace the necessity of "killing your darlings", and take direction from creative leads.” So clearly they’re talking about the necessity of trimming the story of things you don’t need--

Or do they? It dawned on me a while back that I often see this context used out of context an AWFUL LOT. It doesn’t mean “kill your favorite characters in your story,” like I tend to hear people assume. Often attributed to Faulkner but apparently originating from Arthur Quiller-Couch, the full quote is actually:

If you here require a practical rule of me, I will present you with this: ‘Whenever you feel an impulse to perpetrate a piece of exceptionally fine writing, obey it—whole-heartedly—and delete it before sending your manuscript to press. Murder your darlings.

Now, I don’t want to make assumptions about writers more accomplished than myself, of course not. I don’t want to...presume. That Anet misunderstands that as a concept. I’m sure they prune the HELL out of their stuff. I love watching Guild Chat or reading their responses on Reddit/other platforms. They’re passionate as hell as a group and put a lot of effort into this. But...stuff like the points brought up in the threads today DO make me wonder at times. That plus the lead narrative fellow’s recent Twitter discussion about delayed gratification...

It really feels at times like Anet is firing...the wrong guns. Killing the wrong darlings. Such hit and miss points of focus on characters. This huge amount of clarification and emphasis on why we couldn’t ride mounts in the mines where we find Almorra...but also leaving zero mention of the aforementioned pre-designated successor. In-game or out? I can only hope that they’re aware of how disjointed a lot of these things come off to at least a chunk of the fanbase...and that my nightmares about Anet lampshading the dangling threads and then ignoring them don’t end up a reality.

-longingly stares at the carved tablet- I’ve never been so eager to see a gun fired.

I see y'all threatening legal action over the hela shit, i will say this: this shit aint gonna hold up in court

Nobody ever explicitly said for Hela to killself her. Nobody sent those copypastas on how to ''properly'' cut yourself. Nobody sent her graphic or triggering images. The one or two death threats she got weren't even from Asexy or jot that down.

Even if this shit goes to court (which it wont). We arent one person with several accounts. We're all different people and some of us in other parts of the world. Whats court gonna do, send us a big scary letter? Are they gonna pay for our flights? Pay for our stay if it's overnight? Are we gonna have to skype it if we can't afford to drop a few hundred on a fiasco?

And even if you're gonna use our memes as evidence. One, they're memes i guess we're for making a meme lol. Two, y'all are the ones promoting the use of dark humor and thats what we're doing. Using dark humor to cope with the fucking shit show this is. And for what I've seen, this is better dark humor than some of the racist, child hating shit I've seen. Three, those memes were made after the events. The memes didnt cause her to commit family bbq, they were made after the event. So we wouldn't be held responsible for her attempt. This has happened before, people make memes of others attempts or completion of suicide. Which is fucked up, in this case it's so noticeably fake it's laughable.

The original post contradicts itself its reactive. And all her so called friends sre making the situation worse. Y'all are drawing it out far longer than it needs to be. Morphing the situation into something it isnt. Keep in mind this all started because Hela was being homo/transphobic now because of our shipping discourse. Also dont forgot the cousin doesnt want to get into legal action because the family are immigrants so that would make their situation um worse!

Y'all say your Hela's friends but youre not. I know this song, I've done this dance. Once Hela comes back online and whether or not she apologizes you'll drop her. She'll become a distant memory only to be brought up whenever an anti makes u angry.

The needle cookie incident? Nope that was about shipping discourse, what do you mean that was proven to not have been about antis and was just personal beef? Nope antis did it

Zamii attempting suicide because of her abusive mother? Nope it was about antis and them becoming toxic. What do you mean Zamii's a real person that i cant bring uo only to own people? Nope she only exists if an anti is making me upset.

Y'all will treat Hela the same way and it makes me sick

2017 Superlatives!

2015, 2016

Cruelest anonymous message: “I love how for someone who claims o be a liberal you jump right into the train of defending christian terrorists. Hopefully you'll be raped and killed.” The use of “christian terrorists” makes me suspect that a certain individual was behind this one.

Worst fandom: Steven Universe's streak has ended! This year goes to Sherlock and the ridiculous temper tantrum that certain segments of the fandom threw when Johnlock didn’t become canon.

Most obliviously offensive case of whitesplaining:This fiasco. I am very disappointed that this didn’t become a copypasta.

Most annoying buzzword: “emotional labor”

Most blatant misinformation: “POLICE BRUTALITY! Sure, he was driving down the highway at 88 miles per hour and was completely wasted and had an open alcohol container in his car and refused to produce his driver’s license and tried the sovereign citizen bullshit and was warned ahead of time that the window was going to be broken, but he’s a VICTIM! I shall only post the last few seconds of this video!”

Biggest lack of self-awareness: This

Most blatant hypocrisy:“I know how to insult someone without attacking their race,” says Tumblr user @shut-thefuckupwhitepeople

User whose identity was erased the most:@keyhollow, that white bitch.

Most ridiculous thing that offended somebody: Ice, Ice Baby Halloween costume

Best response:@ilikechildren--fried proves that brevity is wit. You don’t need to type a novel for the perfect response.

Most unfairly bashed celebrity among social justice circles:Gal Gadot. Again.

Most annoyingly worshipped celebrity among social justice circles: Beyonce. Again.

Most ridiculous and inaccurate cultural appropriation accusation: “Pink clown wigs emulate afros! Black women get FIRED for wearing their hair like that!“

Most ridiculous case of white guilt: “All of us white people look the same! Now I’m going to tag this with ‘i’m white btw’ so I can get my daily dose of Tumblr ass pats!”

Best analogy:Social justice assholes and Dolores Umbridge

Worst feminist moment:“This man who erected a statue I dislike was killed by a train! LOL!”

Pettiest moment:“NO MOANA COSTUMES OR PARTIES ALLOWED, WHITE GIRLS!”

Worst protesters:Portland Antifa

Biggest victim complex: Linda Sarsour

Worst college students: Evergreen State, seeing as how they actually kept hostages and drove their president to seek therapy.

Redemption award: Laci Green

Biggest fall from grace: The official Denny’s Tumblr

Biggest witch hunt: The List

Blog that deserves more love: @forumdrama

Worst Tumblr update: The whole “best posts show up on your dash first” thing. I’ll probably have to reblog this post several times in order for it to be seen.

2017 Hall of Shame Award (group): Chicago D*ke March

2017 Hall of Shame Award (individual): Linda Sarsour

The “Marginalized group that Tumblr cares about the least” award is officially being retired, because it will always be the elderly, no matter what. Other categories that are missing this year were omitted due to lack of good material and might return in the future.

This year was quite the ride. The fact that items on this list span from January to December is a testament to that.

#social justice assholes #new year #happy new year #2017 #mine

I understand getting your ask full of this kind of messages can be annoying so I promise this is the last one. (I'd also like to ask everybody else to keave you alone, too; you won't achieve anything people) However, I just gotta say I'm dissapointed you didn't even respond to the points I raised. Oh well, you are a kid, I can remember what I was like.

Alright I’ll bite. The assumption that WORDS said by STRANGERS to NO ONE in particular causes harm to EVERYONE is just ludicrous. If that was true, then everyone will be writhing in agony every single time someone said a bad word in a movie or show. Should we ban south park or the R rating then? If I met you in person and said “Hey retard”, is that hurtful and rude? Yup. Why? Because I’m singling you out in particular and whether you have a disability or not, calling you a mean thing. It’s not that case here is it? No one needs you, oh moral crusader, to defend their fair honor on the internet. Oh em gee he said a bad word. I’m clutching my pearls so hard right now. Will no one think of the CHILDREN!!!

1-“I have no idea what the context is, but Using a slur is a problem”. See point above. Also, what about historical or academic context? Should we ban old books now because they contain words that are unacceptable today? You must be one of those assholes who censored Macbeth back in my high school because there was a scene where a guard is describing a orgy they had last night.

2-”You may think that just using a word causes no harm. In reality, due to the normalisation of slurs as insults, there are negative effects on the people targeted by them.” a) Doesn’t normalisation mean that since the word is now normal and acceptable to say, it’s not a slur or that offensive anymore? b) Who really is targeting mentally disabled people anyway? Assholes? Sociopaths? Point is, it’s not socially acceptable to make fun of disabled people. In fact, it’s extremely frowned upon. This isn’t like the olden times where fair entertainment was going to the local insane asylum to make fun of the people there. I say that Americans saying ‘Holy cow’ is offensive to Indians because we worship and revere cows in our culture. Should I call on you to lead the charge? No, because I’m not a oversensitive prick like you.

3-”You do cause harm because you continue to normalise its usage.“ Same point as a) above

4-”Furthermore, you reacted immaturely.” Because I really don’t give a shit about your sanctimonious attitude

5-”Also, you displayed no concern for disabled people.” No, I displayed no concern for your moral proselytizing. And before you say “Oh he has no idea what it’s like to have mental disability”, I have OCD. And not the “Oh I like arranging things lol XD I’m sooooo OCD”. I’m talking full blown obsessive thoughts like dying or improbable scenarios that will never ever happen but you really can’t get rid of because of this shit. So please, spare me your moralizing about me not knowing how others feel like. I know exactly how bad it is. It feels like someone is nailing a nail into your head but you can’t get rid of the thought even though you know it’s never gonna happen. I just chose not to get offended over jokes about it (unlike you).

6-”All in all, you should reconsider.“ Reconsider what? The fact that I don’t care about language policing, holier-than-thou assholes like you?

7-”Also, just as an addition, I just the post where you defended yourself by saying it was a rick and morty copypasta. I do understand that shitposts are shitposts and not the word of evil, so you probably never meant any harm. However, even if it was a mistake, you do not get to avoid responsability by saying it was just a meme. It is a common tactic to do something harmful, and then defend yourself by saying “just joking”. The fact that you were “just joking” does not take the guilt away.” Guilt over what? It IS a copypasta you idiot. Here’s the link http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/to-be-fair-you-have-to-have-a-very-high-iq-to-understand-rick-and-morty How fucking petty are you, Jesus Christ. What next? You gonna get a bodyguard because I posted the Navy Seal Copypasta? Fuck off.

8-”I understand getting your ask full of this kind of messages can be annoying so I promise this is the last one.“ Not really. I just feel sorry for you that you’re so sensitive that some random blog on the internet really rustled your jimmies because he said retard.

9-”I’d also like to ask everybody else to keave you alone, too; you won’t achieve anything people“ - Implying anyone else was petty enough and thin-skinned enough to be this offended apart from you.

10-”Oh well, you are a kid, I can remember what I was like.” I’m 25 you idiot.

Beauty of the internet is that you can turn the computer off and walk away. No one is forcing you A Clockwork Orange style to read this blog. If you’re really that offended, the unfollow button is right there. Report it too while you’re at it. We really don’t give a shit about any of this anymore.

more let’s talk about love under the cut, chapters 17-26:

chapter 17:

this is fully just a feenie and alice fight and tbh feenie is so in the wrong it’s ridiculous

“[Ryan] thinks we ditched you last night.”

“You did ditch me.” She laughed a little.

“Yeah. Well. Anyway, just call him.”

Alice couldn’t even pretend to be mad. Ryan had to be the sweetest person on the planet and besides, it had all worked out. “So you’re just not going to apologize?” she joked.

“Are you going to apologize?” Feenie shot back.

“For what?”

“For fucking leaving.”

(Ah, there it was.)

(Damn it.)

“Um, well, not to be petty, but you left me first.”

“We went upstairs. You actually left the party. That is not the same thing.” She looked Alice right in the eyes. “I’m not going to apologize for having sex with my boyfriend when you fucking jumped ship the first chance you got because you couldn’t stand being alone for thirty minutes. Miss me with that bullshit.”

WOW

dude she was ASSAULTED and could have been RAPED you do not get to be like that lmao it was unsafe for her to be there alone

so much for feenie being the good egg

chapter 18:

so she’s telling takumi about the fight and feenie and ryan and:

“Tell me about them. What do you like most?”

“Ryan is the literal light of my life. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone as considerate and driven as him. He’s all-around amazing. And Feenie, well, she’s my oldest friend and soulmate. Her word, not mine, but I believe it,” Alice said before laughing at a random memory that popped into her head. “When we were little, people used to call us Ebony and Ivory, which is kind of offensive now that I’m thinking about it.”

“But she’s dating Ryan? And you’re okay with that?” The back end of her taco fell onto her plate with a small bit of it landing on her shirt. Takumi passed her some napkins.

“Oh, it’s not like a romantic kind of soulmate,” she said, dabbing her shirt. “Feenie’s pretty hardcore, but she has her sentimental moments. Once she said if reincarnation were real, we’d meet each other in every single life because nothing can keep us apart. We’re meant to be.”

He looked confused. “If you’re soulmates, aren’t you supposed to be in love with each other? That’s how it works.”

“I suppose it could be romantic or whatever, but she has Ryan. They’re meant to be right now, but we’re meant to be forever, if that makes sense.”

He finished chewing before saying, “Not really.”

Oh Boy

omg aw he offered to let her crash at his place for a bit until it blows over

“I never lived with my best friends, but I know what it’s like when they start dating and suddenly, everything feels like them versus you and they’re all you have. You don’t have to slink around feeling terrible. If you need space, I have space.”

She wanted to kiss his cheek.

Kiss. His. Cheek.

alice is so gone. i have only liked someone enough to voluntarily kiss their cheek one (1) time. it’s a rare feeling. i guess she cheek kisses more than i do tho. she platonically cheek-kisses!

hahahahaha and so since he’s babysitting his nieces that evening guess who gets roped into it! i would probably literally kiss a stranger on the cheek before i willingly interacted with their children alone

chapter 19:

while crashed out at takumi’s alice looks at one of his photography albums:

Near the end of the album, it happened: Takumi and the girl kissing.

“Wow, you’re real fond of that whole kissing thing.”

“And you’re not?”

“I don’t dislike kissing.” Alice closed that album and picked another. “I also don’t take pictures of myself while doing it.”

alice u liar u hate kissing

haha look at her fishing around to see if it’s safe tho

“So,” Alice began, drawing out the word, “kissing is important to you?”

“Honestly expressing my feelings is important to me.” He flipped a page. There were several pictures of a bonfire at night. A Southeast-Asian guy with dewy brown skin was wrapped in a red blanket, laughing in one photo. “Sometimes that means kissing. Or spending three days editing photos and videos together for my brother. Or letting a girl I just met stay in my house and look through my pictures because she’s scared to go home.”

i cannot BELIEVE he is being so smooth when she is literally going thru pics of him & his ex...also like How Candid honestly

“I spend a lot of time trying to figure stuff out. Like, my feelings and sorting through my thoughts. I don’t think I overthink, but I like to know why things are the way they are for me and why they’re different for someone else.”

“I think everyone does that.”

“No, they don’t. At least, I don’t think they do. Not the way I do it,” she said. “So. Like. If I ask you something and it seems strange, I’m not being weird, I’m trying to understand.”

ACE MOOD like i said it’s a contemplative existence

chapter 20:

aw man alice went back to therapy after all just to talk about feenie and ryan (theyre still not speaking)

it’s not a v long chapter but anyways

chapter 21:

Ryan caved first.

THANK GOD

Feenie took longer to come around. No one mentioned anything, let alone apologized. Her simply consisted of asking Alice if Family Night for that week could be on Thursday. When she had learned Alice had been hiding at Takumi’s, she curiously had nothing to say, no questions to ask, no teasing jokes to make Alice squirm.

yikes

yk tho for real feenie is a really well written character...like alice, you want to like her, but part of you also wonder if the relation has played its course, which is heartbreaking. nice job 10/10

anyway she and ryan are hanging out and takumi called her from a bar for a ride lol he’s hammered

and ryan like...really really tried to get her to not leave again and she kissed him on the cheek again? and before i was like, aw, cute, how platonic! and now i am Wary of both ryan and feenie. like is he emotionally cheating on feenie with her...is that a thing...i don’t like it

OH SHIT back at his house he’s gotten kind of rambly and:

“If you were dating someone, and you knew they loved you with their whole heart, had absolutely no doubts about it, could you cheat on them?”

Obviously, that question sent her mind into overdrive, connecting all the dots. A roommate who moved out suddenly. A part-time job to cover his rent. Essie telling her he’s single “now.”

Takumi had a someone.

A someone who had, apparently, cheated on him.

hhhhholy shit

“Me personally?” she asked finally. “No. I mean, it’s highly unlikely.”

Cheating on someone was one of those things she was destined to never understand. Choosing to not have sex with someone else didn’t seem like that hard of a concept to grasp, and yet she had comforted more than one person who had been cheated on.

you should NOT have to be ace to understand this shit why are people Like this

So he told her.

All of it.

Everything Alice did and didn’t want to know.

Takumi and his ex-girlfriend and former almost-wife, Rena, had started dating in college when they were nineteen. And it just … worked. They had gone to the same college, lived together for two years, and then earlier this year, she cheated on him. She had always been a social butterfly (his words) and an innocent flirt (her words), but when it came to some guy named Thad (Alice’s words: “Really? That’s his name?”), that innocence fluttered. Except it wasn’t only Thad. She cheated again with someone else. And once more for good measure before they broke up.

They began talking again a few weeks ago, very tentative (his words). Tomorrow night, they were supposed to have dinner to talk about being friends again and possiblyseeing if that could lead somewhere back to being together, but he had seen her kissing some guy downtown earlier. Which was why he was so drunk. He realized that even though she might have missed him (her words), she didn’t really want to be with him anymore (his words).

Y I K E S

ohhh man this is so sweet though like he asked her for relationship advice and she totally fumbled through it because of limited experience but she honest-to-god tried her best

chapter 22:

lol alice’s mom called and is on her ass about being a lawyer again...alice was like gimme 3 weeks to come up w/ a new plan bc i cant deal w/ being a lawyer im proud of her

oh shit it’s feenie backstory time

“Marie called me yesterday.” Marie—Feenie’s mom. “She worked whatever connections she has and had my case for fighting that dude in the bar last year thrown out. Apparently, that gave her the right to interrogate me. She wanted to know when I was going back to school, why I was wasting my life, why I was embarrassing her like this.” Feenie exhaled. “I want to have a family with Ryan because that’s what’s right for me. I don’t get how me wanting to get knocked up and be a housewife affects her. She doesn’t want me to have kids, so she’s never going to see them. Even if I die, she will never see them.”

Alice knew that. She’d known it for years.

In elementary school, when they were told to be doctors and astronauts and firefighters, Feenie stood up and said she wanted to be a mom. Back then, her favorite game had been House. Feenie was always the stay-at-home mom, while Alice was the working mom, and they had seven stuffed-animal children. Feenie did all the cooking, cleaning, and made sure Alice had her newspaper when she got home from work.

She wanted to be everything Marie hadn’t been for her even then.

Their relationship ultimately died when Marie wished Feenie had never been born. She said Feenie ruined all the plans she’d had for herself.

ohhhhh honey ))): okay some of my waryness has abated no wonder she’s like that

oh nevermind feenie immediately bit her head off when she mentioned takumi feenie sucks

chapter 23:

movie night with takumi and alice!! not much to copypasta but this near the end:

She took a deep breath. “I’m not ready to share. I don’t want to tell you.”

It was his turn to fix her hood. (He knew not to touch her hair.) “Okay,” he said. “You don’t ever have to tell me anything you don’t want to.”

But part of her did want to. Her secret shouldn’t even have been one—it should have been a nonissue. Why couldn’t being asexual just be accepted?

Why did she have to spend the rest of her life coming out over and over and over…? And once she did, would people always expect her to talk about it? It would always be a huge deal, she would always be subjected to questions, and she would always have to defend herself.

Would it ever stop feeling like A Thing, a barrier, between her and everyone else?

LITERALLY! god what a mood

chapter 24:

also short, but when alice spotted feenie shopping for wedding dresses and offered to come along we had this exchange:

Feenie clicked her tongue. “Sure you can pry yourself away from Takumi long enough to spend time with me?”

Alice sighed and stood up. Feenie didn’t stop her.

ok look 1. feenie was so disappointed they didnt bang and now this?? 2. she gets to ditch alice at the party to be with her BF but alice doesn’t get to date anyone?? wow

chapter 25:

i could have honestly pasted the entire thing because it’s so goddamn cute and i can’t pick a favorite part but the tl;dr is that takumi is sick and alice went over to take care of him and he kept talking about how great she was in a slightly fever-addled way

wait no i can paste my least favorite part:

“Yeah. I haven’t heard from him in two days, but he called in sick on Saturday.”

Ryan twirled the screwdriver between his fingers, focused. “Are you sure he’s actually sick?”

“It’s either that or he’s packing and needed some time off.” Alice shrugged. “He already signed the lease for his new place.”

“Maybe he’s doing something else that doesn’t involve you.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

Ryan’s face was so open, so honest. It always told the truth before he was ready to speak.

(Basically, he couldn’t lie to save his life.)

“I just think it’s funny that you talk to him and see him every day and all of a sudden he disappears and doesn’t tell you why. I mean, you’re guessing he’s sick or packing. You don’t actually know.”

WHY are they being like this with her wow they are HORRIBLE best friends

also, theyre getting married in 6 months vs two years suddenly. feenie moved up the date :/

chapter 26:

ALICE AND FEENIE AND RYAN ARE FINALLY HAVING IT OUT:

“You spend a lot of time with him.”

“You two spend a lot of time together without me.”

“That’s different. We’re engaged.”

“So I’m just supposed to sit around and wait for you both to remember I exist?”

“Of course not, but you shouldn’t edge us out. You’re the one making it as if it has to be him or us.”

“How am I doing that? And why is this all my fault? Why do you two have a Get Out of Ditching Alice pass that I’m supposed to accept because you say so? How is that fair to me?”

“We don’t ditch you,” Ryan said.

“You do. You have for years. I just don’t say anything because I don’t want us to fight, but the second I find an actual friend on my own, you two act like this. Neither of you said anything when I spent time with Margot. Why is Takumi suddenly different?”

shit dude! she’s right! and then feenie enters:

“Maybe we minded then and didn’t say anything either.”

Alice whipped around at the sound of Feenie’s voice. Feenie leaned against the refrigerator, arms crossed.

“Maybe,” she continued, “we were really hurt, but you were too busy being happy to notice. Just like right now.”

An enraged fierceness made the edges of Alice’s vision turn red. She balled her hands into fists. “I wouldn’t even have met Margot if you hadn’t decided to move in with Ryan at the last minute. The millisecond you two started dating, he came first. You started to choose him over me every single time.” She turned that rage on Ryan. “And you have always chosen her over me.” Her phone buzzed. “Takumi’s outside.” She slung her purse strap over her shoulder while marching for the door.

man this is fucking sad i hope they make this better somehow :/

anyway she goes to hang out w/ takumi and

“You wound me, madam.” He clutched his chest, wincing. “Especially since it’s your fault. It’s hard not to have an ego when you’ve told me you love my beautiful face.”

“Shut it.”

“How beautiful are we talking here? What’s my code?”

She groaned. “Not this again.”

OMG IS SHE GONNA TELL HIM...i’m on the edge of my seat here

“Tell me and I’ll bake you cookies when I’m not sick.”

“What kind of cookies?” she asked, leaning back into his arms. “And you have to use real flour. None of that ultra-buckwheat high-fiber stuff.”

“Oatmeal chocolate chip?”

“Deal.” She stared at the ceiling. “Black. I’d like two dozen cookies, please.”

just shrieked

“Black? I thought the Cutie Code was Green to Red.”

“It is. Was.” The gears and wheels turning inside Alice’s head locked into place as realization sank in. Meeting Takumi had challenged everything she thought she knew about herself, made her work to find out who she was on a fundamental level. He challenged her in the best way possible, wholly unaware of the effect he had on her, pushing her so far out of her comfort zone she had to question everything. She had discovered, no, was still discovering, who she was now, who she wanted to be, what she could and could not handle. He had given her a reason to reconnect with herself.

Feenie had been right—this, he, would always be someone she would want to remember.

“You exceeded my Cutie Code,” she said. “You’re the reason why I retired it. I don’t need it anymore.”

NOOOOO she should keep her cutie code! don’t throw it away fro some boy! even a great boy! it’s too good!

“I need to tell you something.” She took a step back. “Like, whatever you’re going to say, don’t say it because I need to tell you this first.”

O H S H I T HERE IT COMES

i know this is probably a happy book and he’ll accept her but i’m still so stressed out

“So you know how some people like jogging?”

“I’m one of those people, so yes.”

“Ah, yeah, okay. That worked out.” Her breathy laugh sounded forced. “So, you see, I am not one of those people. I don’t care about jogging.”

“Mmm…” He squinted at her for a moment. “Somehow, I knew that.”

“Oh, great. Good. This is going well.” Her hands began to shake. She pressed her fingers to her lips to steel herself before continuing. “Now take the word jogging and replace it with sex.”

“You don’t like sex?”

(Wow, he asked that fast.)

“No.” She held up her hand. “No, the correct sentence is I don’t care about sex.” She took a deep breath and held it. “Because I’m not sexually attracted to anyone.”

HTAT’S A GREAT ANALOGY

that’s much better than my “i’m the way gay guys feel about girls and the way gay girls feel about guys all at the same time”

“Huh,” he said, face neutral. “I thought you were bisexual.”

“I am. Minus the sexual.” She waited, watching him process through her answer. She waited for the judgment, the questions, the confusion, the thoughtful concern followed by the inevitable interruptions. Second by second, it dawned on her that she waited in vain because he was waiting for her. “My sexuality is nope.” She laughed with relief because still, second by second, he continued to wait, to listen. So she laughed again, tiny bubbles of happy that floated out of her.

HES LISTENING TO HER I LOVE THIS NOBODY ELSE BOTHERED BUT HE’S LISTENING

“How many people have you told?”

“Explicitly? You’re number four. Feenie, Ryan, and a counselor I’m seeing.”

Takumi started to speak but closed his mouth and stood up straight, focusing on the counter. Each second he didn’t look at her made tiny seeds of dread bloom in the depths of her soul. “That’s why you’re happy,” he mumbled. He nodded as if he couldn’t stop and sighed before looking at her again. His eyes had taken on a glossy, reddened tint.

“Thank you for trusting me. Realizing that, um,” Takumi said, pausing for a moment, “that hit me kind of hard.”

“What do you mean?” Alice asked quietly.

“Four. Obviously, you’ve been keeping this a secret for a reason.”

She hadn’t been thinking about trust when she told him. Ryan and Feenie had been there when she figured it out (thank God). Dr. Burris had to pry it out of her, didn’t he? And she still couldn’t say the word properly to him. Telling Takumi had been a choice—not by chance or out of necessity. It was her decision, completely on her own.

(She trusted him.)

htis fucking book hasnt made me cry in like a dozen chapters and i thought the heavy shit was over but nooooooo

and like lol i keep saying this text is calling me out...not to get personal, Again, but literally u realize stuff about urself when you read shit like this...i always play like i’m so comfortable with everything but the truth is i put ace on my profile and let other people google it and it has nothing to do with me i never see it--i dont think i’ve ever told ANYBODY irl so like...tbh i couldn’t get it out as well as she did i bet like you go alice

“I wasn’t trying to have sex with you the other night,” he said. “And I am so, so sorry if I made you feel that way.”

He was so close and so far away, as if there was an imaginary pane of glass between them. She wanted him to hug her and make the tension go away.

“No, I didn’t think that at all. That’s not why I told you.”

“This should go without saying, but I’m going to say it anyway, partly because I want to, but also because I think you need to hear it. If knowing you’re asexual makes someone see you differently, then they don’t deserve to be in your life. My feelings for you are exactly the same as they were an hour ago. This doesn’t change anything between us.”

HEYYYYYYYYYY YEAH!!!!! i’m so happy for her!!!!!!!!!!!!! if anybody ever said anything like this to me i’d die on the spot!!!!!!!! YOU GO ALICE

gotta break this post here bc it’s getting long again, hopefully i can finish the rest of the book before dawn & in the next one

Survey...thing

Okay so this is gonna be a bit weird. I came across this copypasta survey thing and thought it looked interesting judging by the first question. Had no clue of it's true length and I've been just kinda rambling on for close to 2 hours now. This tumblr has possibly the lowest traffic in recorded history, so I shouldn't have to worry about too many eyes stumbling across this. At least I hope. Eh, oh well, whatever, here it is.

1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 3. - Good machines don't guarantee success, though, as RCA and Xerox and others had discovered. (The Soul of A New Machine, Tracy Kidder)

2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can, What can you touch? - The wall and pillows.

3. Before you started this survey, what were you doing? - Browsing the internet after pulling an all-nighter due to insomnia and painful recollections of past mistakes.

4. What is the last thing you watched on TV? - 'The West Wing' on Netflix

5. Without looking, guess what time it is: - Eight fucking A.M.

6. Now look at the clock. What is the actual time? - 8:03 AM. End me.

7. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear? - A desk fan and the faint sound of traffic

8. When did you last step outside? What were you doing? - A few days ago, to pick up an old iMac off Craigslist

9. Did you dream last night? - No.

10. Do you remember your dreams? - On average, no. Sometimes a decent one lingers, though.

11. When did you last laugh? - I honestly have no idea.

12. Do you remember why / at what? - Not at all. Probably just a passing chuckle at something I read somewhere.

13. What is on the walls of the room you are in? - Various posters, most either from Club Nintendo or Nintendo Power, along with a few more obscure ones.

14. Seen anything weird lately? - Plenty.

15. What is the last film you saw? - All the way through? I, uh, honestly couldn't say...I have a habit of just watching bits and bobs of films I like over and over again, usually to just take in detail or just to confirm a stray thought or something. If that's the case, then Star Wars w/the theatrical mono track. If an *entire* film, then probably Aliens a month or so back.

16. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? - Small suburban town a few miles out from some city in some state, preferably more northern than where I am now. Countryside of Oregon seems nice.

17. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy? - Probably just save it all and try to coast on it for the rest of my life.

18. Tell me something about you that most people don’t know. - the fuck is this copypasta quiz? Er, well, nobody really *knows* me so just any facet of trivia about my life would do, I guess. I'm really, *really* obsessed with EPCOT even though I've never been and I haven't even visited Disney World since 2002. I genuinely have a copy of every pavilion and attraction's soundtrack from Future World burned to CDs sitting in my car right now, and if I had to pick favorites, Horizons and Communicore get the most play time.

19. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do? - Give everyone some common sense and a better sense of care towards others. That would ((hopefully)) end a majority of conflict out there.

20. Do you like to dance? - Not really. Haven't danced since my sister's wedding back in '09. Yep, even missed prom, not that I really care.

21. Would you ever consider living abroad? - Maybe if it's like Japan or somewhere with similar power standards...I couldn't make it a month in Europe and it's 240v mains standard. My life hinges too much on tech.

22. Does your name make any interesting anagrams? - Never really thought of it. Probably not.

23. Who made the last incoming call on your phone? - ...my mother, a few days ago. I only have my immediate family's numbers saved. Not like anyone would ever really want to call me.

24. What is the last thing you downloaded onto your computer? - Some shitty (what I presume) in-ride recording of Horizons I wanted to play around with in an audio editor to get a decent loop or two out of...before I realized YouTube had better resources for that.

25. Last time you swam in a pool? - Years. I used to love swimming all the time when I was younger (weather permitting; my skin goes from moonlight pale to lobster red faster than it takes to boil an egg on the sun). Heck, I don't think I still have any trunks that fit anymore...

26. Type of music you like most? - Normally I'd say 70s/80s rock/pop, but I haven't listened to much outside of, er, soundtracks the past few months.

27. Type of music you dislike most? - Either country or EDM/dubstep/whatever. I can't stand singers in country, it's so painfully obvious they're forcing their voices to have this bogus accent, and dubstep/electro whatever is just screeching garbage that sounds worse than playing a data cassette through a walkman.

28. Are you listening to music right now? - No, I was trying to go to sleep earlier, now I'm just laying with a laptop sitting 2 feet from my face listening to the fan whir.

29. What color is your bedroom carpet? - Beige

30. If you could change something about your home, without worry about expense or mess, what would you do? - Expand the floorspace somehow. If where was an extra bedroom, a lot of storage problems would be solved. (lot of books and furniture. Takes up a lot of space.)

31. What was the last thing you bought? - iMac G3 off craigslist.

32. Have you ever ridden on a motorbike? - nope

33. Would you go bungee jumping or sky diving? - I tried zip-lining once. Nearly broke my hands and fell 30+ feet into a ~40 degree lake. High-flying stunts ain't my thing.

34. Do you have a garden? - No, but I (as in my family) used to years ago. It was nice.

35. Do you really know all the words to your national anthem? - Yes, thanks 4kids /s

36. What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning? - why am I still here

37. If you could eat lunch with one famous person, who would it be? - Steve Wozniak, but my brain's so fried from exhaustion so often I'd probably royally fuck that lunch up.

38. Who sent the last text message you received? - My sister a few days ago. By mistake. Wrong "Andrew".

39. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card? - If I had one and if I was stupid enough to max one out, definitely 100% my local game store, The Video Game Cavern.

40. What time is bed time? - My life is in such shambles that a bed time isn't even a functioning concept in my life. It's whenever I pass out.

41. Have you ever been in a beauty pageant? - I'm a guy, so, no.

42. How many tattoos do you have? - None. I'm a total square.

43. If you don’t have any, have you ever thought of getting one? - Nah. Being broke + being a bear = never even a passing thought.

44. What did you do for your last birthday? - Nothing iirc. Had classes (then), didn't have that fancy a dinner, and just crashed that night.

45. Do you carry a donor card? - Can't be due to [insert some crap about bad bloodline]

46. Who was the last person you ate dinner with? - Ha. Ha. ha...

47. Is the glass half empty or half full? - depends on how the water got into the cup.

48. What’s the farthest-away place you’ve been? - Ohio. eh

49. When’s the last time you ate a homegrown tomato? - Not a fan of tomatoes. I think my dad still grows some during the summer (not a full garden, just like 3 veggie plants he tends in the flower beds)

50. Have you ever won a trophy? - Not really

51. Are you a good cook? - Well I haven't burned anything or cut myself yet so maybe.

52. Do you know how to pump your own gas? - Yes

53. If you could meet any one person whose deceased, who would it be? - You know, I never really thought about something like this. Honestly, not as much 'meet' but more of just have a good long talk with, my grandfather. He passed when I was 8, so I never got to really *know* him that well. I've learned more about him from his service papers than being around him a lot when I was young. So yeah, that.

54. Have you ever had to wear a uniform to school? - Lol yep in middle school, uniform and enforced dress code. Everyone hated it back then, however since it was a small school in a massive district I never kept up with anyone afterwards so I can't speak for them, but I actually adopted practices from that dress code. Belt and polo not so much, but always wearing a nice shirt and keeping it tucked in, yeah. I've dressed that way every single day since then.

55. Do you touch-type? - Yep, but I'm weird and don't use the normal home-row hand layout thing. I can type proficiently, it just looks sloppy af

56. What’s under your bed? - A lot of junk. Binder of Gen 1 Pokemon cards, a case of cassettes, stack of old model railroading magazines, old busted up laptop, some blank paper.

57. Do you believe in love at first sight? - HA. Ha. ha......

58. Think fast, what do you like right now? - warmth. seriously, it's cold and my blanket is doing nothing.

My sister and brother-in-law used to take me camping all the time years ago...but they've since settled down, had kids, and haven't done anything like that in a while.

63. Is there anything going on this weekend? - Not really. Just working on that iMac I keep mentioning

79. What are your best characteristics? - oh god. Well, guess you can say I'm determined. Like how I keep on with this survey even though I only thought it was like 20 questions long, not 100 or so. Also you could probably punch me in the face and I'd be the one apologizing.

89. What are some of the different jobs that you have had in your life? - (Re: 72, 73)

96. What is your favorite movie? - Oh jesus christ. I just have a slew of movies I enjoy above average, I'll be damned if I could ever properly rank them. In no particular order: Jurassic Park, Short Circuit, Blade Runner, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture

Wait, seriously, only 98 questions? Thought this thing would've rounded off too 100, then again, I thought it wouldn't be longer than 20 when I started and have just kinda been dragged through this whole thing. Well, it did feel kinda nice I guess. I'm debating if I should post this or not....eh, screw it, I'll throw it on my tandem tumblr. (Which it's short for TAND-EM, I was a retard and got the Tandy emulator confused for DeskMate, the proprietary Tandy OS shell. Nothing to do with bikes, but I guess the latin [at length] humorously applies as well.) I should probably write a header for this...oh, regarding the time questions, that was genuinely the time as of answering those questions. It's currently 9:46 AM. That's how long I've been at this. This...can't be healthy...
