Look maybe it's cause it's half past midnight right now but that one upgrade possibility of a hanar guy asking for some of your fish to eat made me so upset I started researching how to do textmods in me3 and tomorrow I will legit try to make a mod that replaces that flavour text so I feel less bad about it.

#is that necessary? #no #no it is not #the game doesn't even take any fish actually out of your aquarium if you take the update #but hey that should make my job easier #i do hope it won't be too hard figuring this out considering that all I want to do is replace some flavour text #i am currently assuming the most difficult part will be making an actual mod oit of it to put on Nexus #the most baseline shpuld just be replacing some text in a file #of course I also have to find that file first which is its own issue #something to figure out tomorrow #i do at leats already know the file type #and i have a baseline understanding of different mod files #gotta start somewhere

SHIT I FORGOT TO MENTION THELNEA’S PURPLE HEARTS

So for those not from the US who may not know, the Purple Heart is awarded for wounds (beyond minor scrapes and bruises) suffered as a direct result of combat (being shot, stabbed, or even struck with an especially hard unarmed blow all qualify)

Thelnea has earned 13 of them, and will happily tell the stories behind each.

She earned her first in what was also her first combat deployment, when she was pushed out the second-floor window of a building, falling 35-45 feet and suffering two broken ribs and a minor fracture to her skull.

Her second was a severe burn on her hand that she suffered picking up a grenade and throwing it back at the person who threw it.

Her third, sixth, and 13th were all pistol shots: Once to the thigh and twice in the shoulder

the fourth was for the same incident that earned her the Medal of Honor-- being stabbed in the gut with a knife that would otherwise have fatally injured a lower-ranking sailor

the fifth was a broken arm that she got simply because someone broke her arm

the seventh was being smacked in the face with a rifle

the eighth was yet another fall, this time from ship to freezing cold water, that resulted in several cuts and scrapes on her hands, knees, and forearms as she tried to climb back onboard while her hands were too cold to grip the ladder properly.

The ninth was a large cut on the side of her neck that thankfully missed anything important

the tenth was once again being shot, this time in the upper back when a sniper missed their shot

the eleventh was several rifle shots in her left arm

and the twelfth was being stabbed yet again, this time in the leg

My work boots are the most expensive shoes I’ve ever owned.

Also the most comfortable. I chose them after trying on several different brands and comparing lifespan vs usage vs comfort - I needed them for a physically demanding job, not the weekend hiking trails. I could have easily chosen cheaper boots that would have lasted long enough to be worth their low price, but I know the Sam Vimes Boot Theory and knew weaker, less comfortable boots would make my life harder in the long run.

So when the outside edge of the heel started wearing down after three years of heavy use I went to the shop I got them from and said “hey this is a common problem for me with how I walk but now it’s affecting my ankles and knees and I don’t wanna have to buy a new pair, is there a way to fix this?”

The salesman at this very fancy upscale boot store said “oh yeah, there’s a shoe repair place that can give you some heel guards - it’ll keep the rubber from wearing out.”

So at 8am this morning right after my 9hr shift ends I went to the shoe repair shop and it is the most hole-in-the-wall, is-this-a-real-business-or-a-mafia-front, am-I-gonna-get-shot tiny cinder block cube I’ve ever seen in my life. I grew up plenty poor and love me a good hole-in-the-wall business, but going from upscale store to this cash-only repair shop gave me whiplash. Wasn’t expecting this when a guy who wears three piece suits to sell boots said it’s the best place to go.

The skinny kid behind the counter looks somehow 16 and 25 at the same time, but when I tell him this place was recommended he smiles and says to hand over my boots. I hand him the vaguely warm foot-smelling boots, and stand in my socks in the 3’ square entryway surrounded by every color leather polish you could buy and watch as he turns my boots around in his hands, sizes up a crescent moon bits of plastic, and unceremoniously hammers tiny nails through them before handing them back.

The heels are perfectly level again. I can walk without almost rolling my ankles. They don’t clack loudly on the pavement or feel different. This is gonna fix my knee pain. It cost $10.

This kid had every tool he needed within arms reach, worked fast and smoothly, I was in and out the door in less than 8 minutes, and it only cost $10.

I didn’t think anything could cost only $10 anymore. I’m so used to hyperinflation prices I was spiritually thrown back to the 1400’s visiting the cobbler in town square. This kid might have been that cobbler and just decided to never die.

I’m still reeling from the whiplash, and gobsmacked at the price, and thrilled I didn’t have to go buy new, worse work boots (cuz I don’t have that kind of money for a second pair, I’m expecting these ones to last a decade) and it feels like I just experienced one of the rare little chunks of magic that floats around our world.

#shoe repair #cobbler magic #good work boots are a necessary part of life #and finding a cobbler I can take other shoes to is gonna change my life #I love craftsmen #bjurnberg

I’m so happy for them

I just think that 'animals are living intelligent creatures that have feelings and deserve to be respected' and 'when done properly farming is beneficial to both people and animals and there's nothing wrong with raising and killing animals for food, clothing, and other products' are concepts that very much can and should coexist

#i think a lot of people get too carried away in farming discourse to actually remember both of these things #some people are so aggressively anti-farming that they forget that meat and fur are necessary for some people #and that farming helps prevent overhunting of certain species #but some people are so aggressively pro-farming that they begin to think of animals as objects #that only exist to provide them with a product #animals deserve to be treated with respect and be given the best care possible while they're alive #but that doesn't mean that its a bad thing for them to die

Remember that this is not the proof that they love each other

That was a last-ditch attempt from Crowley to get Aziraphale to stay

This is the proof that they love each other

Their love wasn't just made real because they kissed

It always existed

#i will argue this point til my dying breath #they always loved each other #if you think the kiss was the only proof #then i adviae you to reexamine the relationship #the kiss wasn't romantic anyway #it was desperate and painful #it was a last ditch effort from crowley because he loves aziraphale so much #but it was not the confession #he'd already confessed his feelings #the kiss was never necessary to do that #good omens #ineffable husbands #aziracrow #crowley #aziraphale #good omens spoilers #go2 spoilers

Big fan of sun motifs in characters not necessarily being about positivity and happiness and how they're so " bright and warm" but instead being about fucking brutal they are.

Radiant. A FORCE of nature that will turn you to ash. That warmth that burns so hot it feels like ice. Piercing yellow and red and white. A character being a Sun because you cannot challenge a Sun without burning alive or taking everything down with them if victorious.

#this post is inspired by my dnd oc Beacon. whom i am workshopping again #gonna turn him into a really like....duty driven but fucking BRUTAL paladin. #The sun also being necessary for life....for structures of society and culture. like.... cmon #The sun is fucking terrifying and yall should recognize that more #ALSO THIS IS A SMALL LOVE LETTER TO HOLLOW KNIGHT'S THE RADIANCE #I LOVE YOU QUEEN!!!! YOU'RE SO SCARY!!!!!! #we need more of Her.

My wonderful spouse, who I love very much, set a phone alarm to remind him to send drunk texts to his friends this evening, and ensured that he would be appropriately drunk (0.086%, currently) by consulting a blood alcohol calculator that factored in change over time. He was worried that this level of planning was against the spirit of Drunk Texts, but I assured him it was not.

#alcohol #we both drink so rarely that he felt the math was really necessary to get the timing right

alright look, i just wanna know who is the writer that came up with the dumbass idea of replacing the line “Ever since I lost my son, I think of you as my own” with “Lu Ten would have been proud to have you as his father” in this scene for the Netflix live action series???

#atla #Avatar the Last Airbender #atlaedit #animationedit #Zuko #Uncle Iroh #*mine #GIVE ME THE NAME!!!!! #and it's funny how they chose to keep most of the lines almost verbatim in this scene but then replaced the MOST important line... #seriously who in their right f*cking mind thought that was the better line to say in this context HUH??? #the way it was originally written was such an important highlight of this scene too!! #IT LITERALLY SUMS UP IROH AND ZUKO'S ENTIRE RELATIONSHIP IN ONE SENTENCE #like i know certain dialogues can't be translated well into live action and some changes are necessary #but there was absolutely NO reason to change this particular line whatsoever in this specific scene

that 1 post that was like "if ur budgeting for weed like other expenses thats a sign youre an addict and need to stop" was so silly. like Youre only allowed to enjoy things recreationally if you dont monitor your use of them

#budgeting allows me to see spending trends and adjust my use as necessary... weed or not... #anything im regularly spending money on gets budgeted. because i keep track of how much money im spending.
