[woundedheartwithin]

Part of learning and accepting that I have adhd has been mitigating all the things I hate about things I have to do as best I can so that I can actually do them. One of those things has been changing where and how I brush my teeth. One of my biggest issues is that I think it’s fucking gross to brush my teeth in the same room I poop in, so I started brushing my teeth in the kitchen, which also has an added benefit of having a window instead of a mirror. And the best part is, now I can stand there and brush my teeth and watch my neighbor chase his horses all over their pasture because they don’t wanna be caught 😂😂😂

#she speaks #the bathroom’s clean btw it’s just the idea of it that weirds me out #the other thing I hate about brushing my teeth is I hate mint #so I started buying kids toothpaste lol #and I don’t like getting water on my arms or shirt #the kitchen helps with that but also so does using a cup instead of my hands #but I hate the disposable ones because that’s wasteful #so I use a regular one lol #like these are all things I’d been doing for my whole life cuz that’s how I was taught and I didn’t think there was any other option #you use mint toothpaste and you brush your teeth in the bathroom and you use your hands to bring water to your mouth to swish #but the thing is there are no fucking rules #and that’s one of my mantras #there are no rules and done is better than perfect #changed my fucking life fr #course all of this is possible because I am finally properly medicated lmao #this is also things I can’t post on fb cuz I’m friends with my neighbor on there lmfao #I went to school with him too that’s what’s even better #he also lives at home with his parents #millennial culture and all that I guess lmfao

Well, folks, I've successfully completed another rotation around the sun. Today begins another journey. 🎇

#It's my birthday #I need to start looking at getting older as a sign that I survived #instead of the dread of dying sooner. #I will have an existential crisis though so don't worry. #I'm a millennial. We have those on a regular basis anyway. #I'm gone through a lot of shit and I'm till here.

Every episode of Regular Show is a mini Homestuck

Our young protagonists inhabit a world with rules that constrain and frustrate them. They seek to circumvent or ignore these rules in service of their own fun. By doing this, they inevitably discover a secondary world that is more surreal or supernatural, that is governed by even more bizarre rules. The stakes intensify, and our protagonists must survive and escape their new reality.

#homestuck #regular show #okay this is just a shitpost I had to get out of my system but #there is a kind of millennial ennui these things are tapping into #and also these themes are not uncommon in fiction generally #dare I say #kafkaesque

I saw a post about tumblr user ages...

Reblogs are welcomed for that sweet, sweet increased data pool (aka getting more than 20 responses 😅)

genuinely just made a new account so i can be real, maybe even honest (i have nowhere else to rant as easy)

looking at airbnb’s in london and i have genuinely never been so mad at interior designs like why the FUCK is everything white omg like i kinda know why, but it’s like oh a victorian home, maybe there might be some type of unique interior based on the area and historical value of the age itself or smth, but naur it’s just the basic modern stuff like all white with random furniture pieces together inside like please i am BEGGING for us to have taste holy shit like one (1) accent wall will NOT kill you🙏🙏🙏late stage capitalism is gonna make me become a pyromaniac because it’s so frustrating with this specifically, and this is just me complaining after a buildup of endless disappointing zillow scrolls but if i ever get the privilege of actually owning a home i will make sure to have it seem like an actual person inhabits it at least with a poster😭🙏

#and the lighting probably all being as sterile as the walls🤢🤢🤢🤢 #this is something i will always blame millennials for as a gen z #also this is a post asking what idk regular victorian homes’ interiors used to look like before any remodeling like i’m curious if this is #actually an upgrade

[creaturebehavior]

couple years from now though it’s gonna be cool to be a millennial like it’s gonna be camp and it’s gonna be fun and it’s gonna be disgusting

#i might start saying things like ‘auditing’ and ‘doggo’ two years from now #who knows we’ll have to see #never said them before but there’s a first time for everything #i do identify as a millennial btw and i do day millennial phrases and slang against my will sometimes but i like to believe the ones in my #regular vernacular are of the more subtle brand #but maybe i do need to have my cheugy moment. which i know is a word from like five years ago but i honestly don’t know what other word #to use in this circumstance #just calling it like it is #or calling it was it is #whatever the thing is

Me: Okay but how many pop culture references can I put in this next smutshot.

OC whose codename is literally the name of a Firefly character: Yes.

#x men #everything after x2 didn't happen sue me #x men original timeline movies #also i think i'm well on my way to the pegging fic conclusion now #we're at the time of On silent wings already #meaning the no sex zone is coming #and i can squeeze in one more shot at most during the regular weathered i period #so i gotta make this and the next one count #i need booze for the weekend i think #anyway i'm having far too much fun with those pop culture references right now #i got dirty dancing and footloose and firefly #and now wash literally just called scott and katja breakfast club #because they might be late gen x and early millennials #but omg movie wise they're also such boomers #writing

[andsomemaniacgotridofthewheel]

There are a couple of things about Aziraphale that I think we, as a fandom*, focus too much on and get it slightly wrong in the process.

*= I am talking about the regular Good Omens fandom and Aziraphale fans here, not including the Aziraphale haters, who can skip this post because they wouldn't care or understand anyway.

First of all, yes, Heaven is an abusive work environment. The angels in charge are bullies, while Aziraphale is a sweet little cinnamon roll. Absolutely no question there.

And yes, Aziraphale is scared that his relationship with Crowley is discovered. Again, elementary, my dear Watson.

But he is always much more scared for Crowley, if Hell would ever find out, than he is for himself. He's terrified that something could happen to Crowley (see Edinburgh leading to the whole Holy Water blow-up). He knows, or can at least imagine, what Hell would do to Crowley, and he wouldn't even be able to get to him, much less help. Maybe not even immediately realise when it happened.

But he himself has been lying to God and Heaven from the very beginning (what he says to the Starmaker in Before the Beginning, about not wanting to get him into trouble, proves that he was always wary and filtering his words carefully). He lied directly to God's face right after Eden. And he always got away with it. We see him getting more and more comfortable with it during the millennia.

Yes, he sometimes still gets nervous when he faces a surprise or a new threat and he has to think on his feet, but he does it. Every time.

But we are tending to treat him like a little scaredy cat that lives in constant terror of Heaven, and I don't think that's the case. In later centuries he knows that he can run circles around the archangels when it comes to Earth, because he is the expert and they are absolutely clueless. Earth is his domain, where he holds all the power. (Or at least, all the knowledge, which some philosophies argue is the same.)

And while he is much more naive than his book counterpart in his belief that Heaven is good and Hell is bad, this also isn't as extreme as we sometimes make it out to be.

He knows what Sandalphon did during Sodom and Gomorrah. He knows what God did to people with the Flood. He knows what God did to Job. He was told - or is telling himself - it was just, and even that he already started to doubt. With Job, he knew it wasn't.

He hasn't, as I just read in an otherwise rather similar post, been drilled to believe that the Apocalypse is the end goal. He was taught it was inevitable. That it was Hell's end goal. That Heaven winning (what Hell would start) was inevitable - and just! And that was what made him believe that when he finds a way to make it not inevitable, the other angels would have no choice other than to support him, that God herself would want to support him, because they're supposed to be the good guys. And when he learns that that is not the case, he still immediately goes on to do it by himself. He isn't unsure, after he stepped into the circle, when the military angel tries to draft him for the war, or pondering what he should do. He spends the whole time trying to figure out how to get back to earth, and when he discovers a possibility, he doesn't even hesitate for a second.** And when he leaves Earth to take the job as the Supreme Archangel, he does so because he believes he can change it into what he still thinks it should be, knowing full well what it is.

Now I, personally, am not with the nihilistic / resigned Gen-Z crowd who seem to think that trying to change things is stupid, because only violent revolutions and total destruction of existing structures could achieve any real change, and that Aziraphale somehow has to apologise for believing otherwise and trying. (?) Maybe that's because as an elder millennial I can rest in the knowledge that I won't be around when our planet becomes uninhabitable, or maybe it's because I was actually alive to witness the collapse of the USSR, which, incidentally, was pretty much the same time at which Good Omens was written.

Which brings me to my next point.

I don't want to take anything away from fans who relate to Aziraphale because they themselves have experienced religious trauma. He is certainly a powerful metaphor for it. But Aziraphale the character does not experience religous trauma, because he doesn't experience religion.

The existence of God, of Angels, the creation of the world in 7 days, those are not beliefs for Aziraphale, they are simple facts. He has actually witnessed them, he has worked on some of them himself, he is an angel himself. He knows how everything works (or where it doesn't). He isn't a human who has free will and is supposed to have faith, who gets to interpret and re-interpret and guess at how it all works while forming self-important little groups around it and lay it down as law for anyone who wants to join (or remain). It's simply his job. (Well, job for life, and the whole reason for his own existence, but still his job.) God is literally just his boss. A largely absentee boss, but still his boss. He actually even talked to Her at least once.

For angels and demons, Heaven and Hell are not religions, but simple work environments (with certain accompanying ideologies). In the book, being 30 years older than the show, the two sides are quite open references to the two sides in the cold war, and Crowley and Aziraphale are likened to spies in the field. (Pretty much the only thing remaining from that in the show are the St. James Park Bench scenes.)

And I would like people to start remembering that. Aziraphale is not a traumatized little kid who tries to escape a religious cult. He is a Secret Agent who is walking the very dangerous line of collaborating with an Enemy Secret Agent, undermining both their nations and their ideologies at the same time. (Think John Le Carré characters rather than James Bond.) He is afraid of dangers that are very real, but that he has faced and flaunted during his whole career. He knows what he's doing. Which also means he knows what's at stake. And yeah, that is terrifying, naturally. (Again, John Le Carré writes those kind of spy stories brilliantly.)

But Aziraphale is the fucking Angel of the Eastern Gate. He was issued a flaming sword that he gave away against his orders because he believed it to be the right thing to do. Who befriended his demon enemy because he liked him, more than he ever liked anyone from his own side. And who is basically using the seven deadly sins as a to-do-list. That he has a sweet little face that lights up like a christmas tree when he's happy and in love, or that he still believes in the basic goodness and justice of the world, or that he tries to be kind or at least polite whenever he can, does not take anything away from that.

And for the 2nd Coming in season 3 he will be what Crowley was for Armageddon in season 1: The Inside Man.

**= Here I would also like to add that again, as much as I was disappointed for not getting the tv evangelist scene in the show, book!Aziraphale is still much less naive and more cynical about Heaven's goodness - even while show!Aziraphale's defiance of Heaven is much more outspoken and obvious, I can't actually imagine him delivering the whole "if that's your idea of a morally acceptable time" speech.

Emoji Kitchen is really the only good thing Google has done lately. Look at these beautiful masterpieces.

Happy because I listened to my brain instead of my heart today!

Okay, listened to my heart this time but it actually gave me some realistic advice!

Wearing sunglasses over prescription glasses, never really worth the trouble tbh.

Annoyed Nerd, this is needed as a regular emoji.

"A dog jumped on me, threw me to the ground, got all my clothes dirty. I could not be happier!"

The ultimate Millennial emoji.

When your crush gets out the edgelord humor again and you're not sure how you should feel about it.

So true #society #modernlyfe #peoplesuck

If you see this, even the crystal ball can't handle how dim your future looks

"Fuck this shit, art is too annoying, I'm going back to generating big tiddie manga girls on Unstable Delusion!"

"I hate working for Boeing, this happens every third flight!"

"At least I saved my karate clothes though, that's what matters. Fuck those passengers, they were rude anyway!"

Sure, why the fuck not!

"Ohhh hehehe but there's only one bed available! But wait, wasn't Destiel exposed to sex pollen earlier..? Yes, yes, I remember! Oh no, however will this night play out for them? hehehe"

"And then, and then Billy POOPED HER PANTS in front of the class and had to go to the nurse!! And we talked about it all through recess but Miss Susan said we weren't allowed to mention it again but we still did and then she got mad but she also got nice again."

The derivatives were risky but fuckin HELL they paid off when the stock started tanking!

Lovesick :(

Sure, why not :) Amanita snowboardita!

👀 New surprise acoustic album coming up in a chapter near you~

I think we all know what spurred this surprise acoustic album this time 😂

Disenchanted - MCR, Regular | Acoustic

Stay Together For the Kids - Blink 182, Regular | Acoustic

Iris - The Goo Goo Dolls, Regular | Acoustic

How's It Going To Be - 3EB, Regular | Acoustic

All These Things That I've Done - The Killers, Regular | Acoustic

I chose these songs mostly on the regular versions, but some of them have pretty great acoustic versions ngl. I really like that Stay Together For the Kids and Disenchanted renditions, which I think use the real ripped vocals over acoustic instrumentals. And I actually prefer the Boyce Avenue version of Iris than the actual acoustic version from GGD. But for How's It Going To Be and All These Things I've Done, I really adore the originals, even if they lend themselves well to acoustic versions.

Also yes instead of talking about his feelings in a mature and calm manner, Gojo instead runs off and makes an album about it instead 😂 tbf using art as an outlet is actually a very healthy thing to do, but so is talking to your partner about your internal struggles.

But I find it very in character of him to struggle to put his own feelings into words, or rather, to express them outwardly and actually speak and vocalize them to others in a normal way, and turn to music instead. Unlike Hawks - who is more of an action guy and even in his POVs shows how he feels through his actions rather than introspective monologues - Gojo's actually your classic Tortured Poet (see what I did there lol) who has a lot of Thoughts™, even if he's horrible about expressing them and regularly ignores them. So in his own way, he's trying to communicate a lot through this album - to the whole world, but also to Hawks specifically.

Tbh this album is probably Gojo's most 'personal', or at the very least, as personal as you can get when you never wrote the songs to begin with lol. But idk, my millennial is showing here but there was always something so personal to making mixtape CDs for yourself or for others. You might not have wrote them, but it says a lot that you chose them to define yourself, you know?? Anyway I digress, moral of the story this is actually Gojo reaching out in his own way. And tbh, it's kind of a summary of his life too. A lot of times I pick songs for this fic mainly just because I like the way they sound, with no real meaning to them, and that's canon too as Gojo picks his songs for the Vibes™, but for this album noooope.

Disenchanted - Going to be crowned as the quintessential 'Dabi' song. Literally all about being a disenfranchised and disenchanted youth who sings away his angst and the chorus is 'If I'm so wrong, how can you listen all night long?' This is basically the summary of how sad teenage Dabi felt and why he turned to both music and villainy

Stay Together For The Kids - So on the nose it's not even funny, but I adore that guitar riff in the beginning. And while Gojo's parents didn't divorce in either of his lives, I still feel this resonating with him because of the way his youth was ruined by the adults who were supposed to love and care about him, in both lives. And yes, when the Endeavor reveal drops people are going to be questioning this song.

Iris - Yes, this is his pining song. First for Suguru, but then takes on a new meaning with Hawks. Yes, it turns all the Sixwings fans into a sobbing mess every time. Really though more than being a love song about either Suguru or Hawks, this is hi trying to convey his own feelings with lines like 'yeah you bleed just to know you're alive'/'when everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am'

How's It Going To Be - Known to Sixwings fans as the 'breakup/makeup' song. Like yeah it's about Sixwings breaking up, but it's also Ru-kun shouting to the world that he wants to get Hawks back. It becomes infamous for it. When No Scrubs finally goes on their massive Taylor Swift Era's-esque tour he'll play this and Iris back to back and have the whole stadium bawling. Ngl this is my favorite 3EB song, so it had to go in this fic somewhere. I love how it starts mainly soft and acoustic and at the climax the full band kicks in and Stephan Jenkins just starts belting 'I wanna get myself back into you, the soft dive of oblivion'

All These Things That I've Done - If Disenchanted is Dabi looking back on his life/past and all the anger and sadness he sees there, then the final track on the album is about coming to terms with himself and trying to accept who he is, and look towards the future. Huge theme for he next arcs/final fic in this series. I actually always thought the line was 'these changes ain't changing me, the gold-hearted boy I used to be'... but it's actually cold-hearted, which kinda totally changes my narrative for this song so I'm pretending it's gold-hearted 😂

#fic may death never stop you #mdnsy art

[roadhogsbigbelly]

this person is getting made fun of for this take, but i honestly think they're kinda right? in the sense that alot of zoomers (specifically one's that treat being "gen z" like some secret club or inherent speacial trait not just regular people in their 20's) has this extreme belief that their the "most exceptional generation" and that the generations before and after them are inherently inferior, and you can make the argument that "all generations do this" but i feel like less people are willing to callout this sort of behavior in the same they'd do with boomers or millennials cause they only thing anyone seemed to learn from these online generation wars is 'old people bad, young people good" and not "generations aren't real and aren't a great way of measuring human behavior"

It’s Not Your Imagination—Secondhand Stuff IS More Expensive Than Ever

I’ll start off by talking specifically to my fellow Millennials.

(If you don’t know if you’re a Millennial, here’s an easy test: Have you ever seen a file called “Bring Me To Life-Evanescence-FreeMP3-LinkinPark-LIVE_RARE_Porn_Facial.avi.exe” and thought “nothing ventured, nothing gained”? Congratulations! The smoking ruins of your family computer attest to your official Millennialness.)

This generation grew up in the late 80s through the early 00s—er, aughts, which was an era of breakneck consumerism. Relative to the economic stagnation of the 70s, regular middle class people suddenly had a lot of money. The United States was operating at a budget surplus, a thing we haven’t seen since. It coincided with globalization, which made the stuff we like to buy ridiculously affordable.

Venture Bros.: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart commentary and extras.

This is what I gathered during my first watch. Hopefully, I'll be able to upload the audio bits like I did for seasons 1-7 eventually! I'll catch all the little details then 💛

Let me get this out of the way. They did not answer the most important question of all.

In the past, Doc and Jackson have said that what they say in the commentary isn't necessarily canon. What is canon is what's in the actual show, not what they explore outside of the show because they're always changing their minds. Sometimes they disagreed while answering questions. Take that as you'd like.

Jonas didn’t abandon The Monarch after the plane crash intentionally. He assumed he died or he ran away before he got there. They hinted that Jonas downed the plane himself.

When asked if Jonas loved Rusty they say he’s a bad person, the villain of the show, and a monster. Jackson thinks he might have been a boy adventurer himself. They compare him to baby boomers forcing their children to live the lives they wanted themselves.

Does Rusty have the other twin killed when only one dies? Jackson says only when they witness the death. He referenced Ice Station Impossible. Brock has done it before.

Ritchie Valens refused to join The Guild and Red Mantle and Dragoon’s (Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper) initiation was to kill him so he wouldn’t tattle.

Doc says the second sons are the ones who succeed in The Guild, not the first sons, because they’re most likely to become evil and that’s why Dean was chosen as The Guild’s successor.

Doc described two episodes he would like to do: 1. "Heads in the water." Which is the heads of characters bobbing in the water after a crash for the entire episode. An all dialog bottle episode. 2. An episode that starts off like a regular Venture Bros episode. Then a henchman dies and everything pivots. 21 calls his wife and says “Real sorry but your husband died in service” (Doc put on his 21 voice here). We then see the wife and daughter (from another marriage) and follow them in their lives.

What is The Monarch's favorite ABBA song? Doc thinks Waterloo and Jackson thinks Take a Chance. They riff as Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend for a few seconds.

Gary's a big Sneaker Pimps fan.

Rusty doesn't have a middle name. If you ask Rusty he'll say the S stands for sexy or science or SUPER science. Rusty’s favorite musical is Starlight Express or RENT (Jackson disagreed). He's never actually watched them but he likes the advertisements.

Brock Frog is the guy that "brings in bagels". A 3rd generation Italian American from "bricklayer stock." He fell out with his dad because he wanted to bring bricks into the future. He teamed up with Professor Vigo Dale, who screwed him out of half of the company after Brick Frog gave him all of his brick ideas.

Mantilla has the ability to make things invisible by touching them but claimed it was teleportation. “It’s all bullshit…and she had money from her past”

Mantilla has been "garbage picking" from The Monarch’s trash, such as Dr. Mrs.'s costume ideas in season 3 that she had thrown away and their wedding invitation.

The guys in the warehouse with Jefferson were all roommates in the 90s.

We would have had a full episode of Force Majeure and Jonas Venture's rivalry.

We would have had another episode of Billy and Colonel Gentleman "John Wicking" after Mischa was found dead right before a doggy costume contest.

Matt Berry was supposed to voice Force Majeure.

Why does The Monarch hate Doc so much? Jackson says “Obviously it (the thought that Debra left him for Rusty) bothers him a little more than he said.”

They called Gary's hair “the popular millennial cut” and made him "half Glen Danzig half Wolverine."

Doc has drunk his own urine multiple times because they pee in bottles in the Astrobase. "Recently".

During the last scene in the movie when everyone is talking, Gary and Hatred were talking about a loofah. Hatred asked Gary "Ah...you use a loofah?". Dr. O was talking about intermittent fasting.

24 made a guest appearance in the "Fan Questions" extra for a few seconds.

They refused to answer the questions about Scare Bear and what Rusty and Billy were doing in the time machine in case they're able to continue the story.

They made a joke about telling people just enough in the commentary to get them excited and want more. (A “joke” haha)

During Prom, Pete and Billy would have studied the Push It video extensively. Pete would’ve entered the dance floor and “boxed it out” to make space. Billy would’ve walked in the circle nonchalantly. Then they would have recreated the entire dance.
