i've never seen this picture before (brian without the others standing in front of him) but now i can really appreciate the magnificent train wreck this outfit is

#it really really is #that thing looks like somebody took two completely different jackets and stitched them together #god i love 80s fashion that is utterly disgusting and i would 100% wear something that looked like that #brian may

i love pacific rim. the writers were all like:

so an apocalypse is happening via *rolls dice* an alien invasion. to save the world, humans must fight them using…*picks card out of hat* giant robots and also *throws dart at dartboard* the power of soulmates

and it was amazing

#pacific rim #it’s such a refreshing scifi action movie #it really really is #op #not the locked tomb

JTTW’s writing style is simple yet very effective when it wants to strike a chord

There’s something about it that is timeless truly. That no matter where someone is around the world, they can always relate to that kind of on-the-road storytelling. I think that is what gives it such a great advantage of a monster of the week format, that well, it is repetitive. In some instances, it’s that kind of repetitive nature that allows the characters to really shine through. It's the same monster of the week but it allows for that kind of character deep drive when a movie can just focus on a SINGLE arc and THAT is an entire movie. It gives so much room for exploration of themes and emotions!! There is so much in the novel that most tv shows can't even handle all of it!

It’s so simple yet the emotions that are being felt or still so very real and it kind of blurs that line of despite being a story with the gods and demons it still remains so human and natural about what it means to grow as a person and finding ourselves, and who we are as people. And honestly, those kinds of stories stick around forever, and I think it is real why this narrative has continued for half of millennia. Xiyouji is a grand epic quest sure but it is also full of so many comedic moments that make you laugh and feel like you are on this journey with them. You know they are going to make it to the end but you don't know how or when and it's just one thing after another!

It really can be relatable to any generation and can be so simple in a story but at the same time so complex and meaningful because it is solely character driven. The goal stays the same and honestly the villains change but the format is always clear. It gives it that gradual change where while the plot is the same the characters are the ones to be different every time. And it’s both amazing to see and lovely to analyze every time.

Truly the most human tale in the most absurd adventures...

oh my GOD my day started with one of my absolute favourite grooming clients today and he’s selling his house and we were like oh exciting good luck with the move where ya going and 🥺🥺🥺🥺 he tells us where (a small town right outside of the city i live in) and said that he almost called us before buying the new house to make sure we would still come out there for grooming. y’all i almost started crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭 i told him that we do service that town but that even if we didn’t we would make an exception for him bc we love him and his cat and it was probably the most wholesome experience of the last week

#i also had a lady buy me a gift card to a coffee shop yesterday bc i held the door open for her and let her go in front of me in line #she was having an awful day and said i turned it around and she thanked me and told me she hopes i have a good day #i was having a shit day at that point too and almost started crying in the coffee shop #it’s the little moments #it really really is #those two moments #giving my partner the mug i made for him a few days ago #i have been having a Hard Time lately and these little moments are just #So Much to me right now #and i have so much love in my heart bc of it #and i need to share it bc the world sucks #and i need more good to be in it #so i’m gonna share the good i find #anyways #personal rambles #work #cat grooming #not stargate

Christmas as a cultural icon is starting to get really dystopian in a climate sense, december has historically been a time of year in which there would be snow in a significant portion of europe and north america, and the fact that its not even icy this time of year and all the christmas songs and decorations reference a time of year that will likely never exist in the same way again in my life time is so strange.

#for reference i live in scotland so it is weird that there is no ice or snow in december anymore #shitpost #not really but its just how i find my original content #christmas #climate change

Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?

Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".

My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.

#information death of the internet etc #legit this has been SO SO helpful #shout out to mastodon infosec server for this one #before 2022 we did not really have the AI-content-farms because. the tech did not exist to the public. #and you can knock back the date if need be #obviously this does not FIX the problem but #me.txt

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

#i used to be pretty intimidated by the idea of having to describe my art but. it isnt as hard as it sounds #i just treat it like im describing an image i dont have at the time really #plus ive been told that even a simple id is better than no id #lev.txt

When I was a kid one of my moms would call her period "moon time" or "her monthlies" or shit like that and my other mom straight up stealthed it, but when I'm a dad I think I'm gonna go straight down the middle and call it Werewolf Week. Like sorry kids, dad can't roughouse right now, it's Werewolf Week

#Plus my sense of smell always goes crazy like a couple days prior #So #I feel like I could really lean into the mythos #They'll get the talk of course but Werewolf Week sounds way cooler than Lady Time or whatever the fuck

the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????

i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.

so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.

#anyway it’s still a couple years away #but man im so fucking excited for my 30s!!!!!!!!! #i made it!!! #i survived!!! #so many people never got the opportunity to be 30 #im gonna enjoy every fucking second of it! #sulley speaks #sorry my coworker said something really rude to me lol #it struck a nerve

I get a lot of entertainment thinking about how containers are used in video games sometimes.

#video games #elder scrolls #morrowind #baldur's gate 3 #skyrim #i think having to visually see how meager those 5 coins are #sitting loosely in that big old wooden chest #makes me rethink whether i really need to steal them haha #update: i fixed the egg
