From the people who brought you: "Android detectives can't cook!" comes the concept: "Hank has a horrible food palate!"

He's happy to try anything once.

#the rainbow shrimp skewer is from worst cooks in america #it made me laugh so hard i had to draw this #also idk how egg correlates with cheese #none of them know what anything tastes like #and hank is like ‘i mean food is food’ #he's so valid #i'm the least pickiest eater in ever and will also try anything once #one time my starbucks coworkers asked me how much money it would take for me to put the sink discard in my mouth #i said $5 tbh #BUT IN MY DEFENSE it was like idk whip cream and fruit pieces like bfd you know yolo #also i love both the idea that they are all expert 5 star chefs who feed hank WELL #and the idea that they all are riding the thin line between edible content and something resembling sumo's finest backyard creations #of course the second one resonates well with my content so #incompetent chefs it is #rk bros #rk brothers #dbh hank #dbh nines #dbh sixty #detroit become human #dbh comic #comic #also sorry for the reupload the first version's quality was HEINOUS #hopefully this is better #dbh connor

Wdym clip studio paint is dropping a version 3.0… they just dropped version 2.0… wait what do you mean version 1.0 owners would have to double pay if they want to upgrade??? they wanna neglect 1.0 so bad to get us on their stupid sub service huh 💀💀

#the new 3.0 features are okay but could use a little more to warrant a new version entirely #they should’ve stuck to upgrading 1.0 😔 #funny how it’s on the same day dreams comes out #clip studio paint #as an EX user it’s basically a thin line of either paying a shitton one time or #subbing to the yearly payment but uhhh I have no money for that. and I hate subscription services #cjj sayeth #not to mention one time payers only get the base features because #all new updates are behind the ✨subscription service✨ #fuck this actually lmao

Angel at his dark ark in season 2

Saved everyone from zombie police officers.

Gave two and a half million dollars away to charity.

And saved the whole world.

Even at his worst he's still got a good heart.

Sorry sorry sorry but I can’t stop thinking about the Laloward au where they meet at some point before That Night, and have a one (or 2 or 3) night stand, totally just an anonymous fuck type deal, but then ofc when their paths cross in Jimmy’s apartment, instead of shooting Howard it’s like [Howard and Lalo spider-man pointing meme] “What are YOU doing here?” and that moment of recognition/hesitation on Lalo’s part buys Howard enough time to ask a couple questions about what exactly is going on here, and then he goes into Lawyer Mode and essentially argues his way out of being murdered (Lalo can’t help but find him entertaining, which goes a long way in his book) by convincing Lalo that his plan sucks and Howard can help him think of a better one, and he DOES, which leads to Lalo surviving his confrontation with Gus. And then they have to get out of town, and they might as well do it together since it’s turns out they’re a good team…. ET CETERA!!

#laloward #THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT THE MORE IM LIKE…… #listen they have parallel upbringings - both rich kid nepotism babies - one in the old money corporate world and one in the cartel world #they both put on carefully constructed Human Suits which they present to the world #to hide their true emotions (or lack thereof) #they’re both very good at navigating their particular worlds - howard schmoozing with high powered lawyers and lalo with don eladio et al #they’re both particular in the kitchen #howard is fundamentally Decent and lalo is fundamentally Ruthless (using that one ‘thin bright line’ definition of the word) #and they’re just …. Potente. they’re a Pairing Moste Potente. that’s all. #bcs

Volume 18 finally arrived which means after two years or so of collecting I have them all!! Can’t wait to read them I’m so excited 😭 gonna have so many Suga pictures in my phone when I’m done fr fr

Also lined them all up on my long shelf to see them all in a nice row and it’s just. SO COOL. I’m so happy to have them all like omg 😭😭 I seriously can’t get over how cool this is to me

#Gonna be moving them back on the thin shelf eventually tho #as cool as it is to have them all lined up so perfectly I want to have the artbook with them and that only works on the thin shelf #Also in the plan I have in my head Tokyo Revengers is gonna get that shelf since a thin shelf wouldn’t fit those #Like it fits now but I’m only like halfway through collecting those lmao. And I can only fit two more volumes #Also I have a lot more Tokyo Revengers figures so they’ll look better on the big shelf than my single Noya 💀 #anyway. I’m just so excited to have them all and I can’t wait to read them as soon as I’m done watching Inuyasha #Also yes I’m bad with my money. I am aware. I shouldn’t be allowed money tbh #but I’ve now promised myself I’ll never collect a series as long as Haikyuu again that was painful 😭😭 #30 volumes is my limit unless it’s under certain circumstances #(series was ongoing and I didn’t expect it to have that many volumes‚ got really into the anime while ongoing but there was a big mess up #that I KNOW would ruin the ending‚ etc etc) #and that’s still a lot but manga series are just long most of the time so #at least the ones I read 😭 #Anyway I’m rambling a lot more than I meant to. Enjoy the very cool Haikyuu shelf I now have #haikyuu #haikyu #maddiepost

me: man, the status of my teeth is actually starting to actively scare me, with random little twinges of pain, i wonder if id be able to start just cranking out comms to get my wisdom teeth removed-- that seems like it'd be a cheap procedure considering you're SUPPOSED to get them out at some point in your life in like 80% of cases--

google: if you're uninsured, fuck you you're probably gonna need to pay like 700$ minimum PER TOOTH

me: ...GUESS I'LL LET EM ROT THEN

#cyspeaks #US healthcare is a fucking joke man #its not even like im in constant pain or anything #i just know that my bottom wisdom teeth are like growing into my jawbone and right now it's simply uncomfortable #i know it can very easily turn into something much worse tho and im skating that line super thin rn #on the one hand i want to finally get hired somewhere so i can have money and insurance so i dont have to pay that much #but on the other hand having a job sucks and having to do one while in a constant state of discomfort/pain doesnt sound appealing #so fuck me ig #just wish i could live in a fantasy world where you dont even need to worry abt general health decline other than age

👫 alois + hibiko

👫 autumn + hibiya

headcanons for our muses | @dasmondkuss

1. They have their moments of cooperation more often than not. They have to or else honestly why would Autumn still be there. Of course, their bickering is what's most notable, but they can easily be in a room with one another without threatening someone. Which is largely what makes it all the more infuriating when one of them snaps since it's so explosion.

2. Unfortunately for the prince, Autumn has been able to somewhat make his way up the ranks in being a more trusted guard for Hibiya. Never up close during important events because he's worried he'll snap at Autumn's remarks, but there is a vague level of comfort knowing if there was any actual alarm, Autumn will gladly drag Hibiya by his collar away from danger. Whereas with other knights, there might be some hesitation due to the political power imbalance between them.

3. Sometimes, more times, it's not uncommon for Autumn to purposely knock over a bottle or glass that Hibiya's drinking from to give him a hard time. Over time, it's turned into a very cruel game trying to keep Autumn on that side of the room, and the wine bottle on this side of the room!

4. Back to not eating each other alive though! The boys play very well together, it's definitely one of the times when their similarities shine and get along. Playing cards, chess, betting on horse races or hell, even skipping rocks. It allows for more flirtatious and light hearted banter when they need to kill time.

1. They aren't that different in age, but it's hard to remember that with how mature and self assured he is, and how immature and lost she is. This contrast sure as hell does not go over either of their heads.

2. Alois has saved her ass a number of times. Given tips and examples for helping her remember stuff for school, advice for dealing with specific profs and people at events, and covering up for her terrible ability to lie. She does not take this for granted, thankfully, and tries to make it up to him when she sees fit. Distracting someone who looks like they're annoying him, helping him look good, talking him up. The works, really, it's all she knows.

3. She's never read one of his magazines, and sure as never plans to. It's grotesque and weird and doesn't exactly love the idea of being reminded how easily a life could be taken. But, with how much she's online and talks with her friends, Hibiko's usually able to grasp enough from the popular stories to at least sound like she's in the know.

4. Their relationship is more like a sibling bond than anything, even if Hibiko likes to use their parents' desires for them to have a romantic interest to her advantage when she can. While there isn't much they share in common, they see enough of themselves in one another that they get along reasonably well. Hibiko truly admires his independence and how he holds himself in stressful situations, and he respects her work ethic and dedication to her parents' happiness, even if it's to a fault.

#the boys ride a thin line of play fighting and throwing real punches #hibiko and alois are so sweet though #if he wanted to he could really form her into whatever shape he wanted #dasmondkuss #v: reliving history }death do us part #im gonna think of a tag name for alois and hibiko i will #v: a different kind of uniform }old man's money

The Simpsons have always been great but the last season (34-35) they were not holding back at all. Amazing satire, all other adult animation should be taking notes.

#wrenfea.exe #they make it extremely clear its satire even for people barely paying attention #i thought by now the Simpsons would be redundant and running out of ideas but absolutely not #they tackle how big charities are just set up to keep the rich from paying taxes #and that they dont actually put resources towards helping people bc the need is what gets them paid #they also tackle how police gain money and power and no longer help people #and how they see reducing their budget by even .000001% as them being defunded #and thin blue line people dont immediately stop watching bc they use crossing guards as the example not cops #but its very clear who they are actually talking about (and they bring in the TSA #ICE and even right wing vigilantes #the Simpsons #in contrast i tried watching krapopolis and its...horrible #shitty animation cliche one sided characters #its a cool concept but absolutely horrible execution #i only was interested bc ive been on a history kick recently and the guy from wwdits voices a character

[stuckstucktrolls]

What if I just write about my fantrolls and just never mention the are fantrolls? Cuz at this point that’s all my brain wants to work with. I wonder how far I could get without people at large noticing. Don’t use troll specific terms but still 100% portray quadrants and stuff. All the social dystopian aspects that make it spicy are left in, just not the ones I dislike. Maybe don’t have them look like trolls in description but otherwise they’re just trolls.

#would this count as fanfic or original work based heavily on something else #I'm not stealing the exact words hussie used so it's not plagerism #I'm not even using the characters or plot but I would basically be in the sameor similar setting #but at best I think it would skate on a very thin line at the edge of fair use #and if I ever published the resulting thing it would be even murkier #but this really is the only thing that makes my brain buzz the right way #and I never have to publish the result and definitely not for money

[running-in-the-dark]

over the past few days I've switched from watching lots of cleaning videos (which was good because they made me want to clean - though that effect is still there for now) to sewing videos (which is very very bad because now I want to sew more and get a sewing machine that actually works right (I got mine used for like 50€ and it's very basic and a lot of things just keep breaking/not working (which is probably at least in part because I don't know enough about using it correctly)))

#I'm not good at sewing #I don't know what I'm doing at all #but it's sooo much fun (until my stupid sewing machine breaks and I have to spend the rest of the day figuring that out) #I really want to learn how to make clothes and stuff but I won't even try with this sewing machine #now to be clear it's an alright sewing machine and it mostly works fine if you just want to sew a straight line on thin non-stretchy #fabric and never change the yarn. #*thread (I keep mixing those up because they're the same word in German so it's very confusing) #but anything even slightly more complicated or anything with thicker fabric does not work. I've tried so many needles and settings and #solutions I found online #and it just never works consistently #I'm not spending money to get it fixed professionally. no matter how little it would cost it's not worth it #unfortunately I've already found a beginner computer sewing machine and it's expensive (though much less expensive than I would have #thought) and I don't know if I'll be able to get it anytime soon but I really want it 😔😔😔 #but ugh the thought of not having to thread the needle anymore and not putting the bobbin in in the front and fixing all the problems that #come with that is sooo nice #oh yeah my machine also refuses to work with thicker/stronger thread. I've figured out that it does work most of the time if it's just the #bobbin thread. #but like. I don't want to spend hours learning how to fix this stupid machine all the time! I want to learn how to use it to sew! #so yeah this isn't going to work long term. #ugh my dad's ex (the most awful person I've ever met) was a trained seamstress. damn I should have made her teach me 😔 then she would've #been good for something at least instead of just giving me a bunch of additional trauma 🙃 #(but yay at least it seems like I finally don't associate sewing with her and feel terrified just thinking about it anymore!) #personal

[akuma-homura]

tbh I get and understand that there needs to be more human / not robot / not alien / not non-human autistic/nd/aro/ace/ect. characters

there's an implication there of dehumanizing esp. autistic folk with how much that kind of coding happens

however

i continue to make my android characters and eldritch characters and such whi are definitely at least SOME flavor of neurodivergent, whether autistic or not, many who are somwhere along the ace spectrum, ect ect ect ect

because that is what I like the most and am most interested in and actually like wheezes as well as my own feelings about connecting to nonhumanity ect ect ect

though also to be fair, when it comes to if a character is nd or autistic or not, I never purposefully do it? They all just turn out that way because of My Me WHEEZES

And then it gets to a point where it's a bit undeniable. Like with Soleil.

#[ ;text ] #i do feel i'm... on a thin line there bc i'm not like. actually diagnosed with anything #was kind of ignored about it when younger #and now that i'm older and read and see peoples experiences and researched it i'm like ' #OH........' #but i'm poor and no money to get evaluated so. #i mean mate i don't even have health insurance #i'm like 98% sure i'm autistic /and/ adhd though #the remaining 2% is more if it IS both or just one #but the more i look and actually realize how i am the more i'm. yeah gfdgGFDSFVBG #the post and tags veered off into two only tangetially related directions whoops

I'm in a weird place clothing-wise, and I'm honestly overwhelmed when I try to think about how to deal with it

Basically, when I was still living with my mother & in the years after that when I was working in the service industry, I spent a lot of money on wearable stuff because I love fashion and had mad disposable income. I have /a lot/ of clothing & accessories, but once I started working in a museum I had to really focus on officewear rather than street clothes when making new purchases. Couple that with a serious decrease in my income (non-art museums pay you nothing) FOLLOWED BY my weight dropping 40 lbs, I spent what clothing money I had on fast-fashion basics just to be able to wear things that actually fit me.

Now, 5 years later, my extensive closet can be broken into 4 groups:

- high fashion/formal/outright costume pieces that fit and are in good condition, but are only suitable for niche situations

- older clothing that's from before my weight loss and is in good shape, but needs extensive tailoring before I can wear it without feeling like I look a mess (smallest of the groups, but contains nearly all of my pants)

- informal clothes that are comfortable and good for daily wear, but are are stained/damaged/just plain wearing out (concerningly large group that contains most of my shirts, shorts, and underwear)

- clothes that fit and are in good shape, but this group is comprised predominantly of office wear and casual dresses. Since a lot of it isn't great for stuff like going to class/running around, I rely on the casual pieces A LOT which is causing them to wear out VERY RAPIDLY.

It's a stressful situation that has been getting worse with time, and I know it's vain but my mental well-being depends pretty heavily on looking good in public. Also I feel like a zoo animal with no enrichment when I have to wear the same "boring" staple clothes again and again, and I hate ittttttt.

I like the way I look, and I like dressing like a fancy tropical bird, and I know I know it's stupid and entitled but it drags my self-confidence down when I have to repeat the same outfits week after week after week. Either a substantial amount of money OR a substantial amount of energy and a smaller amount of money (I can sew decently well, and own all the supplies needed to make clothing) would allow me to fix this whole problem, but. My monthly income is literally $0 at the moment, and all my energy is going into the struggle of being an adult living alone while trying to keep my life moving forward.

This is mostly a vent post because i'm so frustrated about a situation that has lots of solutions, all of which seem to be out of reach right now OTL

#ohkotalks #longpost #inb4 any well meaning person suggests thrift shopping or discount stores #i am a master deal finder and haven't paid full price for 90% of my clothes since high school #hunting for good clothes like that takes up a ton of time though if you are looking for specific things #also companies have realized people like me exist and started cheaper more poorly made lines of clothing that flood stores like TJ Maxx etc #so well made basics like tshirts and pants are becoming harder and harder to find #you can have a million thin polyester tshirts for very little money but then you have the discworld boots problem

“It’s literally impossible to be a woman.

You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow, we're always doing it wrong?

You have to be thin, but not too thin, and you can never say you wanna be thin. You have to say you wanna be healthy, but also, you have to BE THIN.

You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass.

You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean.

You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas.

You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time.

You have to be a career woman, but also, always be looking out for other people.

You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is INSANE, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining!

You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood, but ALWAYS STAND OUT and ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL. But never forget that the system is rigged, so find a way to acknowledge that but ALSO, always be grateful!

You have to never get old. Never be rude. Never show off. Never be selfish. Never fall down. Never fail. Never show fear. Never get OUT OF LINE. It's too hard! It's too contradictory, and nobody gives you a medal or says 'thank you!' And it turns out, in fact, that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also, everything is your fault.

I'm just so tired of watching myself, and every single other woman tie herself into knots, so that people will like us.

And if all of that, is also true for a doll just representing a woman, then I don't even know." -Gloria the barbie movie

this is it. this is exactly it oh my god.

Just got told by a coworker that he isn't sure if I'm supposed to be homeless or a hipster in my outfit today.

His words 'I want to give you some change but you look like you'd spend it on overpriced coffee.

#kinda proud #finally someone who gets it #I'm walking the thin line between hipster and homeless man #also I'm between both because I do not have the money to actually afford my rent so I'm in debt now
