Also I made it through the first ten minutes of Secret Invasion and then got so angry at the MCU that I had to go cuddle my dog for a while. Sorry hot Maria Hill I tried. Prickly MCU feelings below the cut.
(Also the more the world turns the more the idea of “present day” without acknowledging the COVID pandemic becomes more and more dissonant in media in general, and I thought this about Secret Invasion and then I remembered that “present day” in the MCU is actually I think 2026 because of the shitty math they did for the Snap and I had to go cuddle my dog some more.)
(And then I thought about how nice it was that nobody could retcon that Tony Fucking Stark cured COVID because he’s For Sure Canonically Dead and that helped a little.)
(Wait no because the dumb baby math means he COULD have cured COVID because Endgame takes place in 2023 doesn’t it I hate it hereeeeeee)
BUT THE THING IS I AM MAD BECAUSE I ACTUALLY LOVE A SECRET DOUBLE STORY.
But it’s a treasure and a gift of a trope because it relies on the viewer knowing the characters. The fun of it, the joy of it, is being able to know the characters well enough that when there’s a shift in facial expression or a choice that doesn’t feel quite right, I the viewer can guess along! The reward of being able to see the twist coming because you know these people, the satisfaction of yelling at the screen don’t listen she’s evil because you the viewer have information that the other characters don’t.
And I want to like this SO MUCH but I’m sitting here like. What depth of knowledge do I have about the inner life of Famous Actor Playing White Man In Suit Number Six. Whose motivations have been a clear and consistent thread between films such that I can follow along in that way. How can that tension and joy possibly be earned in a production where actors are only given single scenes at a time to avoid ~spoiling twists.

hello, sexiest man alive committee? yes I'd love to nominate Lou Wilson and Brian Murphy for attempting to speed-write an actual in-universe 300-word essay in 5 minutes of real time as Fabian and Riz posing as Fabian with complete earnest and a 120 percent commitment. both this effort and the incredibly smooth hand-off in the middle of it was maybe the most attractive thing i've ever seen a man do
yes it's a dungeons and dragons show. don't put me on hold. hello

oh right, technically i sell t-shirts
Tumblr media
i forgot about that
#holidays are coming up and it would make a terrible gift#that's the main selling point#anyways these exist and can be exchanged for legal tender#the cost is the listed price + the emotional expense of knowing that i am judging u#bc i am. i am judging u#why would u want this. why would u exchange currency for this#there are so many other things you could exchnage currency for instead#a grocery store shrimp platter for instance#with the nauseatingly red cocktail sauce that is SO much better than a t shirt any time#hmm chicken picatta at a local Italian Eatery perchance? i am. a big fan of anything picatta#oh oh i know! 3.6 POUNDS OF FRESH OKRA#FOR THE COST OF THIS FRIVOLOUS T SHIRT U COULD INSTEAD PURCHASE 3.6 POUNDS OF FRESH DELICIOUS OKRA#and then --hold on i have a recipe--and then what u do is#so it is basically sacrilege to suggest this but what u do is u skip the cornmeal entirely#my southern ancestors are shaking a wooden spoon at me right now but LISTEN. u skip. the gotdang. cornmeal#instead: wash chop and soak (for 10 min) the okra in a mixture of 1 egg to tblsp water#then coat in flour#THATS IT JUST FLOUR#No cornmeal. i am betraying my heritage rn but I'm RIGHT#coat in flour sprinkle liberally in S&P and FRY that suck in veg oil high heat#until crispy & brown & u hear your arteries clenching in apprehension#so. so yeah#that's what u should do instead of buying this shirt go fry the shit out of some okra#(but buy local and young & tender if u can bc the grocery store is full of old-and-therefore-super-stiff specimens#pro tip (aka grandma tip): if u can't chop okra smoothly with your normal cutting knife then it's too old and tough.#...i mean u probably CAN still fry the shit out of it I've certainly done that before it's just much less delicious#ANYWAY. anyway ANYWAY. shirt. okra. farmers market. that reminds me of a post i made back when we first started selling these dang shorts#shirts. shorts shorts. oh shit i should make a crop top option.#i. i don't Know How to make a crop top option#HUH . . . i need to lie down now and contemplate the constant and irreconcilable limitations of the human experience good night

The Mechanisms from someone who has never listened to The Mechanisms
There's an album where it's all the brothers Grimm fairy tales but now it's futuristic space fantasy and war crimes
gay space pirates
There is a sentient ship
The sentient ship and it's engineer are in a gay wlw relationship
Things keep going into the sun apperantly
Some dude forgets trans people exist, this causes problems
There's a character named like, tinker toyman or something
Everyone dies all the time
In Ulysses dies at dawn, Ulysses dies at dawn
If you have a mythology, congrats its mechanisms now
Everything is a mechanisms reference, you're gay? Mechanisms refrence
More gay people
The ship goes into the sun, everyone dies this may happen more than once I don't know
The Ship x Engineer Yuri gets broken up tragically
Seriously forgetting trans people exist causes more problems then you'd think

Y'all, I did NOT know this existed -- this is a 3D interactive/spectator mode map of the season 8 Hermitcraft server.
It's a huge map and takes a while to load, but it's SUCH a boon to anyone looking to reference something on the server real fast without having to download and run the entire world download.
Other seasons can be viewed too, in top-down Dynmap mode, if you weren't aware. I've messed around with them in the past and they're super cool. You can even get coords from wherever you click if you want to easily find and tp around to different locations.

@unexpectedyarns replied to your post “Today I worked on some hand sewn buttonholes. Here...”:
I love that you are wearing a swashbuckler shirt. There’s not a man on earth that doesn’t look amazing in a swashbuckler shirt. Nor a woman either.
​It's just a regular 18th century shirt, all my shirts are cut to more or less that same pattern, though usually in very historically inaccurate colours.

I've got a blog post about the construction, but it's from 2020 and I've improved my technique since then and have been meaning to do a better, updated tutorial.

Everyday i think about this screenboard scene that got semi-scrapped from Donnie vs Witch Town, like it just explains so much about Donnie as a character and i’m very sad we didnt get to see it entirely
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rise donnie#like it just reveals that donnie has thought his only use to the team is being usefull via his tech#and feared he might get replaced or wasnt needed anymore#and instead of talking about it he bottled it up and it turned into aggression towards magic#like god we need to use this angst potentional more#cause it explains /why/ donnie was so stoneset on using his tech instead of mystic magic and kept saying how its better#and why his tech is usually gadgets or things that help him and/or his family#he thought thats all he's good for#apologies if i keep repeating things i'm a sucker for donnie angst and this makes me go wild#listen donnie vs witch town is not a high ranked episode on the tier list for me that scene next to the fight scene was the only part#i enjoyed a lot#and i wish they kept the entire screenboard in cause it explains a lot about donnies character and gives some drama#dia rambles#edit cause this post gained way more notes then i ever had or imagined i would ever have::#i am flattered and virtually high-fiveing every one of you folk that said they liked my tags#i was unsure if i should even put the ramble there cause i wasnt sure if people were even gonna read it#so if means the world to me seeing people in the notes having the same reaction towards the screenboard and liking my ramble in the tags#HOWEVER i would greatly apprichiate everyone who copypasted my tags to at least credit me#some have given credit and i'm gratefull for y'all and i understand that maybe theres still the glitch for mobile users and you can always#edit your rb#I'm not mad or upset at anyone i would just really prefer it if people at least prev tagged me#ALSO SIDE NOTE to all the folk that said they'd maybe draw/animate/write smth with this a) i put the link to the full screenboard in a rb#and b) please tag/dm me or send me an ask to inform me cause i would LOVE to see it
