last year i found a wii at goodwill for 25 dollars and it came with everything except a wiimote but it was in such good condition i was like hell yeah ill take it how hard can it be to find a wiimote. the answer is it's nearly impossible to find them at thrift stores now so i've spent like 8 months looking for ones in thrift stores but there wasn't a single one and then online but i just couldn't bring myself to spend 30 dollars on one single wiimote so i waited so. patiently. and then 2 weeks ago i finally found one at goodwill for 9 dollars but it was absolutely disgusting and the battery cover was missing and the compartment was all corroded so i put it back and regretted it the whole week but then this last weekend i went to savers and there was an absolutely perfect wiimote just sitting there with no corrosion and a jacket and the wrist strap and motion plus and the nunchuck was there too and i got it all for 10 dollars so the moral of the story is that sometimes things seem right for you in the moment but you have to recognize that they aren't and leave them behind so the things that are meant for you will in fact find you when the time is right. peace and love <3

I headcannon that Superman is weak to the color green. You know how in dcxdp fics sometimes ectoplasm and kryptonite are one in the same? Or even simply when ecto affects supes? And the reasoning to that connection is because theyre both GREEN. SO what if kryptonite is just rocks painted luminescent green and no has told superman. Like if someone painted a bullet with some cheap green paint that's practically flaking off the surface and just, shoots superman, it works? No ones tried it ofc because why would they. It's a closely guarded secret by the justice league. Superman is the only one not in the know. Even the other supers know. (It typically works better when the paint is either glow in the dark or luminescent) Superman is confused why they won't let him touch the glow in the dark sticky notes (that just so happen to be green) they look so cool! He wants one too :(

A shame I wasn't able to find the motivation to finish my Halloween art in time for Halloween. Might still finish it and post it late for fun, especially since it's already lined.
Started it early and everything and I still couldn't make it. Oh well. That's what I get for getting distracted doodling silly stuff.

Chapter Seven: Little Richard, Tutti Frutti (Specialty, 1955) | Written by Little Richard and Dorothy LaBostrie
A-WOP-BOP-A-LOO-BOP-A-WOP-BAM-BOOM. Little Richard was speaking in tongues across the airwaves long before anybody knew what was happening. He took speaking in tongues right out of the sweaty canvas tent and put it on the mainstream radio, even screamed like a holy preacher-- which is what he was. Little Richard is the master of the double entendre. "Tutti Frutti" is a good example. A fruit, a male homosexual, and "tutti frutti" is "all fruit." It's also a sugary ice cream. A gal named Sue and a gal named Daisy and they're both transvestites. Did you ever see Elvis singing "Tutti Fruitt" on Ed Sullivan? Does he know what he's singing about? Do you think Ed Sullivan knows? Do you think they both know? Of all the people who sang "Tutti Frutti," Pat Boone was probably the only one who knew what he was singing about. And Pat knows about speaking in tongues as well.
There's a lot of people in Little Richard's songs. All the stereotypes. Uncle John, Long Tall Sally, Mary and Jenny, Daisy, Sue, and Melinda. They are all slipping by in the shady world of sex and dreams and giving you a run for your money.
Little Richard was anything but little. He's saying that something is happening. The world's gonna fall apart. He's a preacher. "Tutti Frutti" is sounding the alarm.
Bob Dylan, The Philosophy of Modern Song (2022)

Something about how out of all of the portraits on the wall in Neos house, the one with Roman is the biggest and in the center. Something about how that shows just how important that moment in her life, where he stood by her and made her feel more loved than her parents ever had, is to her. Something about how out of all of them, thats the one she put her current self's image into, wishing to persist there forever, with him in that moment.
