Guys, Tom Lehrer was an absolute legend. I stumbled upon a few of his songs, somehow not knowing it was all the same man!!!! You are telling me the man who wrote two of my favorites, That's Mathematics and The Elements, also wrote the freaking Masochism Tango, Poisoning Pigeons In The Park, and The Old Dope Peddler!?! Comedic genius, this man oml

Here's a list of his songs for anyone who graces this post to marvel at:

A serious question - other than the name, what does Las Vegas give for F1, for the fans and drivers?

The layout is legit just an upsidedown pig without ears, the weather is shit (from what I've heard) and the roads aren't really made for F1 cars. In what world is Las Vegas a good idea?

Sure, it's quite famous and a lot of people think it could attract popularity but realistically seen, it's shit for fans all over the world because it's overpriced, just because of the name!

something about being asexual is that when you learn about that Education, you suddenly dread adulthood.

when all your peers are making those kinds of jokes, you're either uncomfortable or neutral towards it (except for the total of 4 times when you made a joke yourself and everyone was shocked and then was on the ground laughing).

then you get to adulthood and you're like this sucks.

but then no one else has a problem with it.

this is why so many of us feel like outcasts. so many of us feel like there's something wrong.

WHICH IS WHY WHEN SOMEONE SAYS THEY'RE PROUD TO BE ASEXUAL, DON'T START PRAYING AT THEM, OR CLAIM TO BE ABLE TO FIX THEM, OR TRY TO FIND SOMETHING TO "HELP"

GODD I was so happy when I found out that asexuality was a thing. I finally found a label that fit. Then people started talking at me like I was broken. Like, y'all ain't gonna fix me, all you're doing is pissing me off.

This for aromantic people too. Fuckin knock it off.

If I died and was transmigrated to a novel where modern foods don't exist, do you know how unhinged I would easily get? I'm heavily picky when it comes to texture (the softness/hardness, how its cooked, how it feels on the tongue, the "bitability", the smoothness/roughness) and taste (strong/weak, seasonings, slightly burnt/perfectly cooked, etc) and when I crave something, that craving will ruin any of my plans.

I won't stop until I get what I crave or that craving takes the train and finally leaves (and these strong cravings can last up to weeks mind you).

If I was in a fantasy novel where there are no modern foods like chicken nuggets, chips, fries, ice cream, and cereal, I best find all the pasta, rice, and lettuce I can find because those are the closest things I can get from a nice crunch experience and possibly beat certain cravings.

[Not saying those are the only things I eat {ok, I would eat pasta/rice for days on end because that's the only thing that tastes good}, but those are on the list of safe/comfort cravings that are so strong that I will stop at nothing to get that food. I will move most of my schedule around having a specific food item in mind, I won't properly think about what's next until I have that food.]

All of this to say is,

HOW DOES SHEN YUAN GO ABOUT HIS NEW LIFE HAVING CRAVINGS! Does he find substitutes? Does he have a whole list with Shang Qinghua like "Foods that taste like potato chips/ we can just make it ourselves but it won't be the same".

This is a long post, bye bye

Jonathan starts out the story with a very close-knit family unit, a mother and a brother who all love each other deeply but who have already faced a lot of hardship. this leads to him having a very batten-down-the-hatches, circle-the-wagons kind of approach to life. his circle expands (minutely) as the story progresses, to include Nancy and Argyle, but he always has a limited list of people he cares for, and his goal is to protect them. he’ll make sacrifices for them, he’ll shape his life with them in mind. his whole universe shrinks to fit the few people who matter, and everything else fades away—including the possibility that those people could find happiness in the wider world. the world is a threat, something to be guarded against. you can’t take on the world and win, it’s not going to change for the better no matter what you do, you just have to keep your head down and deal with the tragedy of it. he’s seen monsters, he’s known loss. he knows all too well that the picture-perfect happy family is an illusion painted over resentment and cruelty, or even just an illusion painted over the complications that come with loving flawed people. any other outlook is naivety—this is why Jonathan has so little patience for Bob Newby, who is decent but simple, buying into all the things that Jonathan has already seen aren’t unbreakable. and this is why Jonathan walks away from Steve and Nancy kissing in the high school halls in season 2, not out of jealousy, just out of impatience with how juvenile and unrealistic it seems to him. they’re playing into the image of what teenagers are supposed to be and do, the path they’re all meant to be on, and Jonathan doesn’t have any time for that. the image is a lie. the path where you try to fit into the world and put down roots there can only destroy you. when Will feels bombarded, Jonathan doesn’t tell him that he’s going to be happy and people will come to understand him; Jonathan tells Will that he understands him. Jonathan will do absolutely anything to be there for the people he loves; the world will do nothing for them but break them. their happiness, if they find it, is going to have the quality of escape: stepping outside the stifling boundaries of what’s expected and hiding out in a Castle Byers, somewhere they can be safe with the people they love, away from everything that wants to hurt them.

Steve starts out with a couple of merely surface-level friendships and no close family; he’s an only child, he has nowhere to direct his love and devotion, and no one giving that unconditional love to him. he’s already won everything small town high school life has to offer him, reputation and good looks and unsupervised freedom. when all of that is revealed to be vanity of vanities, useless trappings laid on top of an empty cynical life, he too sees monsters and comes to know loss. but his reaction to it is different. in season two, Steve still sees some value in going to a party and wearing the costumes he and Nancy worked hard on. he sincerely misses his girlfriend after an hour, without any cynicism, without needing to appear cool. he’s thinking about getting a job with benefits, so he can be someone to rely on. and as soon as anyone steps into his peripheral vision, Steve loves them. he loves Dustin who orders him around, he loves Robin who makes fun of him, he loves the kids who don’t listen to him, he loves Nancy who broke his heart. his perfect popular ordinary life was empty—so he fills it up with real things, that are still very much real ordinary things. he gives ice cream to the kids and watches movies with Robin, he remembers the song that the carousel horse plays, and through it all he keeps on looking for love and believing in love. the more darkness Steve sees, the more fully he throws himself into the world. it’s after he’s come very near to dying that he tells Nancy his deepest wish is to have a big family and see the world with them—he wants to bring MORE little people into existence and then he wants to introduce them to the whole of the world. he wants to have adventures with them, ordinary people in an extraordinary world, forging through it all together. and then, it’s in the oppressive hell of the upside down, where darkness is literally all around him, that he confesses that the dream is still tied up with her—not some picture-perfect fantasy, but a grounded hope, rooted in his real and abiding love for her, as he really sees her. the world is dark, and wilder and more complicated than it appears. but Steve finds his hope in the most ordinary thing there is: a husband and wife and their children. he is the sane man in a mad world that G.K. Chesteron talks about: the normal boy who becomes the fairy tale hero. 

so what about Nancy? Nancy’s outlook on darkness and the world is very much “ride out and meet them”. she sees evil in the world, and chooses to face it head on, and then, as much as possible, she tries to shoot it in the face. not for nothing does she tell Jonathan in season one when he asks what they should do about the demogorgon, “I want to kill it.” she’s not just being dramatic. she means it. what Nancy most wants, from the moment she discovers the tragedy and violence of life, is to eliminate evil in the world. she wants to kill the demogorgon, she wants to root out the unprincipled men who let it loose and see them punished for the harm they caused, she wants to banish the mind flayer even if she has to chase him out with a hot poker, she wants to set vecna on fire and then pump him full of hot lead.

and so, initially, Jonathan’s perspective seems attractive to her, because he too is aware of precisely the evil that she wants to fight, whereas Steve seems to still be appreciating the shiny surface, the veneer of normalcy and happiness that has ugliness underneath it. “it’s all bullshit,” she tells him. she can’t play the role anymore, she can’t pretend everything is fine when everything that she once knew was poisoned by death. and not only is Jonathan aware of the darkness lurking under reality, his rejection of it is so total that he’s willing to reject the entire world along with it. he so hates the evil that Nancy wants to fight that he will turn away from everything else to hide away with just her and Will. that’s romantic. it is! eros loves to say “you and me against the world”, and the romanticism of that does win out in season two. Nancy picks Jonathan and the escape he offers, picks him because he sees the same world she does. but as the story progresses, we see that their worldviews don’t align perfectly. they’re not in agreement about how to deal with the world. Jonathan wants to get through his internship with a minimum of conflict and go home to his family; Nancy wants to prove herself, change people’s minds, make a lasting difference. Nancy is starting to imagine a life she can build with him, Jonathan can only see what he already has and wants to preserve.

so what we see starting to happen in season four is Steve’s perspective is becoming more and more appealing to Nancy. she’s surprised by that, and I think confused by it. it doesn’t make any sense to her, but suddenly his hopes and dreams don’t sound like bullshit anymore. the picture he paints for her of the life he wants sounds nice, especially because he knows what he’s talking about; he’s been quietly practicing for it, taking care of others younger and weaker than himself, attracting no attention and asking for no reward. it’s not bullshit, it’s not naive—it’s the dream she had before everything fell apart, and now it could be real. and why does Steve’s hope become steadily more and more attractive than Jonathan’s escape? because Jonathan can only retreat, into the safety and solitude of the Byers homestead or into a cloud of smoke. Steve can enter into the world and transform it, light it up from within. Steve can act, and Nancy is a woman of action.

ugn I've truly started to loose my patience that one of the queerest shows ever made, featuring 3 out of 4 POC main characters, there is SO MUCH attention given by the fan community-and now even some producers influenced by said community- to the generic white guy asshole side character because he's conventionally attractive.

It's truly insulting we went through so much to get to the point television people could even tell these kind of stories of EXPLICITLY queer and non-white people, and YET so called 'fans' still make it about a generic grumpy white guy cause they're so programmed to seeing white straight presenting gruff protagonists in media they automatically flock to him, and read him with so much depth that is NOT IN THE TEXT, ignoring the utter monumental achievement of the main characters.

I'm sick of this. I'm so tired because it's so painfully obvious who sees this show as something groundbreaking and monumental for representation, and who are just licking the boots of their next white man bad boy while they word vomit all their bad faith readings of the show into the tags, being outraged when others don't feel the same way. Please go find another white boy bad boy there's about another 100 shows with them on right now. I'm so sick of the constant racist HCs or homophobic HCs at this point. At least keep them out of the main tags if that's the only take away you can get from progressive media that you STILL have to make it about your gruff little white man being a victim to POC or openly queer characters.

I'm so over it.

P.S.

This is not me giving ANYONE an excuse or free pass to harass Izzy Stan’s. I don’t believe anyone should be hurt over their character opinions. I am just expressing my general exhaustion with fandom racism and white favoritism which is so blatant when a show is structured like this. But unequivocal harm in retaliation to unintentional micro aggressions does not make a community safer.

#ofmd #rant #look im just sick of them taking every little nugget from cast and crew as validation their white boy is so precious #like as a poc fan im sick of this #if your stupid projection makes the producers shift the writing that some little white guy steals time from the openly queer and poc char #i'll fully have a joker arch #my thoughts #delete later maybe #racism

sorry for the MPJ jumpscare but this is a great story about jokić and jusuf nurkić from nuggets president josh kroenke

#you mean you can get press-shy nikola jokic to open up to you #and the literal president of the denver nuggets franchise to tell you honestly why the organization decided to cut a player #and instead you're out here saying all women are crazy gold diggers and men who date trans women are gross #the fact that MPJ has this kind of pull on his podcast #but instead uses it as a platform to use antiquated slurs and spread his bible thumping bullshit and talk down to women is beyond me #sucks that most of the team follows after jokic in that they're all relatively press averse and the only guy who isn't is a bigot #sorry for the rant lol

[dramarants]

trying to come to terms with the bewildering final 10 minutes of tteotm:

first and foremost, undeniably, the technical and narrative execution this ep was choppy, weirdly paced, ambiguous (not in a cool OE way, just literally hard to follow - how are we in the tomb, why is she back in devil bride attire, where did the scale in the last shots come from, why did qingyu's fucking hair need to turn blond, pang yizhi what did you finally understand cuz I sure as hell don't??) and left a lot of loose threads. with all the build up to his sacrifice, you want some sort of twist or surprise but nothing comes. the ending is so abrupt and this is always and forever gonna leave a bitter taste in my mouth.

the last eps especially emphasized legacy and, with li susu returning as a goddess, I must assume the immortal realm learned the truth about ttj's sacrifices and believed it. ttj gets his roses.

I'm gonna pretend ttj explained the zhaoyou situation to her too

in fact if we're in imaginary land jiwu grew the fuck up and, upon realizing the depth of ttj's friendship in spite of everything, becomes riddled in guilt for a while and fiercely protects ttj's memory

a child!! literally how to carry a legacy and memories into future generations

ttj's destiny was to suffer and resent the world + give up his body and soul to carry out the devil god's will

instead, he embraced the light, learned to cherish the world, bore other's resentment in his final trial (strength that I sure as hell don't have! even saving jiwu from himself!) he remained in control of himself, choosing to sacrifice his body to stop the devil god's plans

the love was there and for once, to break a cycle of pain and sin, overcome the consequences in the mortal world, for ttj and lss, it was fucking enough!

by destroying the evil bone in his final moments he prevents the devil god from ever returning, truly the world's savior

his death was mostly on his own terms, with purpose he didn't have before

saving a part of his divine essence in the scale to continue to protect susu was a full circle moment

in fact ttj embodies mingye in a ridiculous number of ways by the end, from his actions to his values down to his clothes, yet another way to stick it to the devil god fate

he looks at peace in his last shot during the battle and in the scale

they had to cut scenes and therefore couldn't elaborate on the post all-in-distress world

or dedicate the 30s it takes to show him regrow from the scale or something lbfad style 🤧

it seems like he could hear susu when she was speaking to the kid? so he can follow his wife and daughter's lives knowing he's loved and respected until his return that I am headcanoning??

by being in the scale, he keeps his promise to stay by her side forever and accompany her in moving forward through parenthood and the ordinary life he dreamed of

in fact ttj never has to defend himself or put up with bs again, his fight is over and he gets to watch a harmonious world that he and susu made possible

susu my girl, having faith in him and understanding everything immediately and wishing to meet him again

bearing the cross of the only living god and continuing, again, their legacy, protecting their love and the world

she was ready to die with him!! like!! fuck till death do us part I'll share your burden let's embrace and face the end together!! a sparkle bathed version of ttj trying to die with her in ep 29!!

nothing can come between them anymore they fricking ensured that

plus them in the heavenly realm, the only two gods existing, removed from the world and basking in that moment where the devil god no longer exists and it isn't a dream 😭

the tomb scene was so heartbreaking in the good way

these characters have been on such an incredible, unhinged journey and looking back, there's so much more to unpack and appreciate

ugh it's not a bad ending cuz it's sad, I mean how many of us predicted he'd die for the greater good a long time back, it's just the way it ultimately played out was... somehow disappointing

but you know what I enjoyed the path here so much and can imagine their path ahead enough to forgive it and continue loving tantai jin and li susu and tteotm overall anyway

#I wasn't gonna post this and just brain dump maybe share any nuggets ppl might feel but fuck it all I'm ready to flip tables #it's all one post and we all have feelings who fucking cares #I'll be camping in the tteotm tag for closure for many weeks to come #till the end of the moon #spoilers #ranting

Hello all,

I've decided that I might use this as a space to put any of my drawings and various nonsensical doodles that may find it's way on paper or my drawing app.

I just ask that the 2 of you following this page be kind as they are definitely a long way from perfect. A lot of my sketches end up half formed and abandoned out of frustration. If and when those end up on this page, I apologize in advance XD

If you do happen to like what you see, feel free to heart or reblog. Just make sure to give my page credit for my work wherever it ends up. Also, if you feel inclined to look at some amateur nail art by yours-truely, please feel free to visit my side blog: @nailartandsuch

Edit: While this is still a doodle blog, there are and will continue to be many reblogs on here from other more talented artists that have blown my mind. Also some posts that sparked joy in my heart or made me giggle. My interests are sporatic and multifaceted so be prepared for that! One day it may be TMA, the next it may be SPN, and then five seconds later it may be Invader Zim with cats sprinkled into the mix. This blog really has no theme except fanart, doodling and a having good time 😅

For navigational purposes, I consistently use about 3 or 4 tags:

#nugget draws for my art(whatever media)

#nugget paints for my paintings

#nugget rambles for non art related musings

#nugget reblogs for whatever I have found of interest in the Tumblr Wilds

#nugget answers for any asks that are tossed my way

Thank You for stopping by, Tumbl in peace!

#nugget #nugget introduction #my blog #my art #and also #reblog stuff #that is not my art #however you ended up here #I hope this visit spark joy #and that you enjoy your stay #nugget draws #nugget paints #nugget rambles #nugget reblogs #nugget answers #nugget rants #nugget animates

And a short rant because I'm so done with that one person (I don't think he's active on Tumblr).

So, my cousin introduced me to her friend group and the guy (I'll call him Jay for anonymity) and I met too. Jay has issues which he's open about and we started to do "therapy" - basically me listening to his problems, trying to come up with small steps to improve/solve them and him refusing everything I suggested.

Other friends from that friend group started shipping us since we used to sit on Discord pretty often and long (we both started our job training or whatever it's called in the beginning of August and had a LOT of free time) which I was always uncomfortable with because I don't even really know Jay apart from his issues.

So, I had been away for a week with my company and other trainees that I really do get along with (5 trainees, I'm the only girl) and he said "You're having fun with them instead of me? :(" and I don't know if he meant it as a joke or not. He's also really clingy and says that me not replying to him for three or four hours is ghosting him. To be fair, I tend to ignore messages when I'm at work or want some alone time, but it also happened that I haven't replied to a message for weeks and most people I know also know that.

Anyways, I'm currently distancing myself a bit from that friend group since the shipping is going TOO extreme. Apparently, I'm a futa (had been an inside joke) and impregnated Jay with a girl (let's call her Anna) who he's also in a relationship with? Jay even said "You guys ship me with everyone" even though one person made that joke ONCE to Anna and Jay.

I'm just done, I don't really know Jay, only function as a "therapy friend" and don't even get to spend time alone or with others without him being hurt... am I an ass for that?
