#it was like 98 degrees

[captaingeorge13]

y’all i work in construction and i was on a ledge 35 feet up being lazy lifting something in a, lets say non-OSHA compliant manner, and i swear right before i started pulling i heard brennan lee mulligan’s voice on the wind saying “are you weakest, do you feel, at the elbow or the shoulder?”

i stopped and went through correct safety procedure so damn quickly. thats what i call divine intervention.

#brennan lee mulligan #critical role #exu calamity #construction #voices on the wind #i was being so fucking dumb tbh #it was like 98 degrees #no clouds in the sky #and i risked falling 35 feet to my death instead of walking down and up 3 flights of stairs #thank you for body horror brennan

I wanted to say this before but i chickened out and had an extreme case of the self-doubt and self-consciousness BUT ANYWAY MY BRAIN CAN'T KEEP ME DOWN, vash and knives have big granny weatherwax & Lilith de tempscire (older sibling assuming the younger sibling will turn out to be the good guy and prepping to take up the natural balance role as the bad guy, then getting mad when the younger sibling leans so hard into being the good guy and doing things For The Greater Good that they actually become the bad guy, leaving the older sibling to reluctantly be the good guy and seethe over how the younger sibling is totally wasting their role by not even being self-aware that that's what they are, THEY would've done it so much better than the younger sibling-) vibes. (Tho knives is the one that actually changed his name into something edgy like Lily lmao.) And this latest chapter really just confirmed it lol.

Hey I think only one of us is cringe here and it's the woman who can't stop talking about her own fanfiction on the internet. Like it's definitely me. Nothing cringe about making the fanfic posting experience rewarding by starting discussion about it with the highly enthusiastic author :)

I've read a bit of Discworld (which in Discworld terms is like 15+ books maybe lol?) but I haven't read the Witches series! But yeah that sounds super accurate lol. I think especially in the sense of telling a bigger, grander ur-story, and the characters having their predetermined roles in the story. I mean Vash is very much the Christ figure and Knives is very much the Devil. There's something mythological about them. Which is why Trigun especially is so much fun (and so challenging) to do a roleswap for: it's always interesting to put the Devil in the role of the messiah, and to make a messiah a demon. It's a puzzle that doesn't fit right, and that irreconcilability always makes for the most interesting stories.

The big thing of the story is 'choices'. (Just like Discworld is REALLY into!) Choices are huge in Trigun itself and it handles the topic in a way more interesting and nuanced way than I did lol, but the REALLY FUN thing about roleswaps is that it lets you explore how the choices we make change us as people and change our paths in life. What I wanted for this specific story is for Vash and Knives to basically be the exact same people as they are in canon, with the exact same natures and places in mythology. Knives wasn't meant to be good, and for him it's a series of active decisions almost every second of his life. He decided who he is. A big question asked throughout the story is 'what choices is Vash making, and to what extent is he choosing to be Like That?'. Yayyy foils lol.

(I forgot I'd read 15+ Discworld books. Wow, maybe it was an influence...)

#my writing #control freak vs guy so out of touch with reality that it's up in the air to what degree he's choosing The Mass Murders #fight. I guess. #one of the weak spots of stamp I think is that Vash like did make some choices #but none of them really meant anything or changed the outcome of the narrative #knives was basically 100% in control of the entire plot and Vash was never able to create significant change #leaves Vash feeling very passive and extremely wet cat #which I guess is the point in some ways - it's hard for a guy THAT suicidal to take control of his own life #but I find that a character making impactful choices is one of the most important things in any narrative #and when that's not there the narrative's always a lot weaker #which is why manga/98 vash is so much more compelling imho

just a happy lil rant

#today I denfended my master's thesis and passed with distinction #which is a huge relief and I'm so damn happy #but what made me even happier was that so many people from both my current and previous lab teams showed up??? #it was the sweetest thing and I hadn't expected it at all #especially cause I changed topics quite drastically so this was really out of my old teams comfort zone #like I was just so damn touched and then one of my current supervisors gave me this amazing feedback! #and even asked me for my code (for some light bioinformatics) to 'learn something'!!!!!! #because he recognized how damn much I improved in my coding and it's not his main topic #but he was really interested in it! #And my main supervisor loved my presentation and just immediately got some of the more subtle design choices I made #This has given me insane amounts of anxiety and up until half an hour before I really wasn't sure whether I could bring myself to go there #and then it turned out to be a kind of lovely experience #I still have a bit of work to do but I'm like 98% done with my degree now #which feels so incredible. Like I've been through it in this time but I learned so so much #and the amount of support I got today with so many people showing up and many friends and family texting me. #I'm really really happy and touched #and also tired and hungry so I gotta take care of that soon. lol. #to delete later

you wish you were currently wearing this jumpsuit and boots combo

#yes i am going out like this. guess what band tribute im seeing and guess how miserable im going to be in the 98 degree heat #worth it for the price of glam 70s fashion

I should ride my horses today since she was last ridden Tuesday and won’t be able to ride her tomorrow. But also it’s 98 degrees so I have to wait but now that I’ve sat in the couch I really don’t want to move again. And it’s just so much time between driving and grooming and riding and cooling off it’s always at least 3 hours. And like it’s just so hot that I’m not sure it’s even worth it. Like is it really that bad if I wait till Tuesday? And she does live out in a paddock so while it’s not a ton of space to run in she’s not just stuck in a stall. And I’m so tired that I don’t know if I’d be able to even ride her well

#I am tired #and it’s so hot #it would’ve been logistically easiest to ride like two hours ago #but it was 98 degrees then #so that wouldn’t be fair to her at all #but riding Sunday evening is just so hard on my schedule in terms of meal prepping for the week and what not #ugh

broke: vash was completely right n humans r deserving of love, despite all their flaws n wrongdoings. him enduring their abuse shows his kindness n tht hes a Good Person. he fights 4 whats right n is admirable n knives is completely wrong.

broke: knives was completely right bc his entire race was being enslaved n used, so he was justified in wanting 2 eliminate them as the entire human race, regardless of if they were directly tied 2 the plant experimentation, is complicit in the abuse of his race bc they use plant power also commit many atrocities. vash is protecting the v same ppl tht fucked them over n trampled on them n killed their sisters n vash is completely wrong n stupid 4 believing in humans so much.

true: BOTH of their viewpoints r taken 2 the extremes n it's not black n white. theyre both kind of right n wrong (tho kni is a Lot more selfish n morally reprehensible), n it's Meant 2 b tht way. u can find both of them fucked up/stupid 4 some of their actions n views bc theyre both in the technical wrong. u cant fault any1 4 leaning 2ward 1 side or the other bc both sides make their points n r justified, but take it 2 far. vash shouldnt continue 2 tolerate the venom n abuse thrown his way like a complacent dog n kni doesnt want tht 4 his brother n thinks of him as insane 4 just taking the abuse n even going back 2 those who abuse him n hes also right in tht all humans benefit from the suffering of his race but cant understand tht wiping out an entire planet's worth of mostly innocent ppl, even if they passively benefit, is fucked up n wrong bc they need power 2 survive n theyre doing what they can n taking what they can get.

#note: this is abt stampede as it elevated kni's chara from 98 #ur justified 4 thinking vash is stupid n agreeing partially w knives. HOWEVER ur also correct in knowing tht Genocide Bad. #vash is a good boy. i love him. but calling out the fact hes so fucking [gestures w hand] w accepting abuse n tht thts Not A Good Nor Smart #Thing is also smth tht should b noted. his willingness 2 accept humans is admirable. hes so strong in tht regard. but its 2 a self- #destructing degree n esp in stampede they barely give us reason 2 see the humans as good guys bc they all treat vash like SHIT #delete later #dont reply

To be fair, in London the low is like 58 degrees in like August, and I would freeze to death in that during summer. Thats terrible

#its like 98-100 degrees every day in august i would DIE in england #krakens croaks #im like a reptile if it gets too cold ill just sleep

[osamusbigtits]

it's a tits out kinda day

#its 89 degrees but feels like 98 #im killing myself #i needed a hoodie and jacket just last week

[rcsegldx]

so i am starting jury service tomorrow

tomorrow is also going to be the hottest i have ever known it to be here, and instead of being in an air conditioned office i will be sat in a courthouse that apparently does not have anything of the sort

i also have a huge bruise on my arm because i passed out last week and apparently fucked my arm up on the way down

anyways i will probs be around more this week

#like don't get me wrong i am looking forward to jury service #but you know when everything just comes together to make it inconvenient??? #also the bruise is so ugly #and i don't have the right colour corrector to cover it #like when it was red/purple it was fine #but it's green now #and i don't want to wear long sleeves in 37 degree heat #(98 fahrenenfjgtfd if you don't use celcius)

living in a basement apartment sucks for a lot of reasons but it is nice that it's going to be 98 fucking degrees today and I can just hide out in my apartment about it

#was literally The Wettest Spring In 81 Years tm like there were FUNNEL CLOUDS IN NORTHERN OREGON and then suddenly its almost 100 degrees #everyone was like wow this rain is crazy but maybe this means we'll have a cool summer haha unlike last time when it was 116° outside #only for the summer heat to hit all at once #no build up no time for acclimation just it being 98 in june #gotta love climate change 😤 #ghost posts #text

I have the perfect duality of blorbos:

Toad for cuddling in the summer and spring. Nightcrawler for the fall and winter.

Cold blooded amphibian man so I can be all up on him and not over heat. Fuzzy warm blooded furnace man to combat my corpse-like low blood pressure.

#I want them to lay on me #nothing else just lay down and squish me into the mattress #like a really big weighted blanket #98 degrees outside and im cold as FUCK tho so idk #esoteric posting #blorbo x reader

[hawnks]
