#theyre like 6 years old

[swagging-back-to]

Saying a kid is being very conservative with the frosting for gingerbread houses yesterday having to follow it up with "conservative as in you're not using a lot!"

Catch me outside today saying "don't use it liberally, meaning not a lot"

#theyre like 6 years old #but they probably have parents talking about politics #i genuinely dont give a shit im just tying to make them have some knowlege #theres some kids who genuinely cant form sentences and talk and theyre like 9 yo #it isnt because of disability they just didnt learn how and because of te no child left behind rule they DONT LEARN AT ALL #i remember being a kid with a teacher who hated me for no reason and tried to say i was autistic and misbehaving all the time in her class #when i was one of the best behaved h #kids there fr fuck you mrs johnston #and i was so scared when she threatened to keep me back #so i was glad about the no child left behind act when i was in school #but now??? it is only causing harm #the next generation will be as educated and knowledgeable as people were in the 1600s #and the teachers are trying trust me #theyre trying so hard but they cant be teaching 10yos how to spell and write their name when theyre supposed to be in prealgebra #this turned to a weird rant but i have a long work day so im preoccupied with that #also a lot of the 4&5th grade teachers are not trained in early childhood development #tey literally can't teach them these basic kindergarteden and first grade skills

the amount of fig and lou footage i have is ridiculous, especially from their very early days. i took over 500 videos in the first three months that we had them. i took so many that it dwarfed the file size of every other video saved to my phone combined. i literally had to put them on my computer because i ran out of room on my phone and i was scraping by on deleting things to get a few more minutes of recording time.

#i take less now but im never able to get my phone fast enough when theyre being funny or interesting lol #also theyre 6 months old now #we've had them since they were two months old #looking at the videos from then is legit like looking at stuff from years ago somehow. but its literally from November #sonboys allowed

the answer to the question of "is vector espio and charmys dad or older brother" is that hes basically charmys dad but to espio he is a secret third thing. some kind of in between of the two options. you cant really fit their relationship into one of the traditional family role boxes but theyre family and thats all that matters. btw.

#i love dad vector and i do think he tries to play a fatherly role to both of them since hes the only adult around #20 year old college dropout trying so hard to be a cool dad to a 16 year old and a 6 year old who are also technically his coworkers #well as far as other adults who can be parental figures go theres vanilla i guess but we dont really see her very often do we #actually has she even interacted with team chaotix outside of sonic x and that one issue of idw sonic. #ok whatever ANYWAYS. considering vector and espio are a lot closer in age than vector and charmy #i think they can be more like siblings sometimes. but other times theyre more like parent and child. #again theyre a secret third thing like i said. they dont strictly fit one label or the other

I wish the Merlin 6: kingdom come people would be more upfront about their script being fanfic and not official because I am sick and tired of seeing people bitch about the bbc "scrapping" the supposed sixth season. There was no sixth season. Merlin did not get cancelled, it just ended. Afaik the kingdom come peeps have no affiliation whatsoever with the original merlin team, other than their contacting some of them to be like "hey would you want to make our script?" and the representative being like "appreciate the offer but no thanks". The script is no more canon than any fanfic you or I might write, it just so happens that they did it in script form which seems to have confused a lot of people, and no-one seems to have corrected the massive misunderstanding for some reason

#bbc merlin #merlin 6: kingdom come #merlin #to be clear this is not hate or meant aggressively in any way #im just tired of the years-old misunderstanding #ive actually been a fan of theirs for years without realising lmao bc afaik theyre the 3 rings left gals behind it #i stumbled upon their finale reaction vid shirtly after it aired #and then a while later stumbled onto their fan songs which are very very good and captured the characters pretty well imo #i just wish they would clear up that theyre not actually the merlin writers or w/e ppl seem to believe #bc ive seen so many people actually like ANGRY at the script being 'scrapped' #and thats just not the truth of the situation at all #i assume its bc they put smthn like 'this is not just fanfiction' in the blog description for some reason #when. It Is. #you might have sent it off for serious consideration but unless it is actually produced by the same people #it is not official material for the actual show #i swear im not trying to be a dick im just tired of ppl complaining over it #ill shut up now ive said my piece

I just finished reading the most fucking devastating +100k word fic in three days and I'm nawt okay

#mine #vld #there's this one specific fic writer that i have literally followed for years since 2017 at least #and i always reread their old stuff bc its just so well written it fucks me up and the PLOT? the CHARACTERIZATION?! dear goood #but they had written a longifc more recently like 2022 and i was putting off reading their newer stuff bc theyre moving on to writing #their own novel!! and im so happy for them so reading their stuff makes me sad a bit #but i finally got around to reading this fic and dear god what are they putting in the water man everything write is a fucking banger #and DEVASTATING #like i want to cry and punch something at the same time but ITS A HAPPY ENDING LIKE #anyway ele keep rocking it i hope your fucking novel is wonderful you deserve all the success #been 6 years since that godforsaken show ended and your voltron fanfiction still slays every time #and i read them over again every year fjfkkfkfkf #voltron

Tatsumi in !! Music: Aww, look at these kids. Oh, to be young again Me: My brother in Christ, you are 18

Nagisa and Sakuma in Road to Show: Gotta be adults and let the kids enjoy themselves while we grown ups take care of the work Me: Guys, you haven't even graduated from university

Keito to Kiryu: Gotta take care of our child Souma Me: ????? He's just a grade younger than you both???

Knights seniors: Must protect our adorable king from the horrors of the world Me: HE'S LIKE 3 YEARS YOUNGER THAN THE OLDEST OF YOU AND HIS FAMILY HAS ASSASSINS

Kiryu @ Kanata in the anime: As Ryuseitai's mom, you should help out its dad with the kids Me: "Mom" and "Dad" are still HIGH SCHOOLERS

#the enstars experience is being reminded that everyone but 2.5 people are currently under 20 #and then reading about them Experiencing the horrors of the entertainment industry #which granted...probably would make up kids grow up faster. especially with all the traumatic things they went through BEFORE school #but also like. the biggest age gap is probably between aira (15/16) and himeru (???) #or with the current knowledge aira and rinne (20/21 <-literally the only over 20 yr old after 19/20 rei) #and thats like 6 years which IS pretty big so he does get rights to call them all children #but i stand by me having a crisis over high school students saying theyre adults compared to guys 1 or 2 years younger #ignoring the fact that i do literally the same except im mostly joking and i think theyre all dead serious #enstars #ensemble stars #stuff i say #fandom spamdom #actually to be fair being a teen in high school IS thinking that this guy a grade younger than you is basically a fresh-faced child #its more when they talk about it as if their youth is fading when 94% of the cast are still in their teen years #like boys i know youre in the idol industry but come on

i wish all addicts, in recovery or not, a life free of sorrow forever

#.vent #kinda. im not gonna delete this one though #i just. i sure am thinking about this a lot. #i listen to like. trip report videos or whatever and like. the comments section on every single one. just nasty #theres no sympathy for an addict to be seen. unless they're also an addict or are recovering #my dad is a recovered addict. hes been clean for 6 years. i love my dad and hes a wonderful person. #i obviously still have trauma from when he was actively in his mess. to deny that addicts have caused others trauma is to be reductive. #addicts can cause trauma because theyre people. and people can cause trauma all the same #but the lack of understand or care or basic respect to anyone dealing with addiction is just. appalling. #im sick and tired of hearing the same old fucking phrase that its the addicts fault cuz they decided to take the first hit. like #man how fucking cruel can you be. how heartless ya know. #like its obvious hardly anyone commenting abiut this knows anything about what being an addict is like. like. #i know i dont. ive been sober my whole life right. i do not have the same experience. #but. i have a compulsive disorder that makes me perform a task that is 1 harmful 2 almost entirely out of my control #and i cannot describe to you how difficult it is to ignore that urge. for your mind to know what youre doing is harmful. but #your body physically is not listening to you. #like. its a different thing when its addiction. but being compelled to do something you know is hurting you isnt unfamiliar to me #plus with addiction the added factor that your body becomes physically dependent on a drug and it hurts you for a long ass time to try and #stop and withdrawl can sometimes literally be lethal. its so fucking sad to see people hold not even. like an ounce of sympathy ya know #if an addict has abused you im not saying you need to forgive them. you dont. but not every addict is youre abuser #and while you do not need to be involved. every addict deserves a good life. everyone deserves a chance. #just. god. makes me mad. makes me upset. #if you are an addict especially if youre not in recovery. i hope your days go well. i hope the world gets kinder to you.

wow so great to be on a train and be afraid for your life

#unironically #idk if anyone remembers that time i posted about two of our long distance trains being on the same track from opposite directions which #resulted in 50 people most of whom were 20 year olds dying #alongside my friend's girlfriend #so ive been taking the bus instead which takes about 3h more than the train #one bc i didnt want to give them money two bc. i wanna live. #so anyway today i had to take the train bc i had to leave after work and i dont wanna get at my destination at like midnight #and accidentally i had bought the first class ticket in the first coach #for context when the clash happened last year everyone who was in the first two coaches died. in a very bad way. #i sat in the second coach tho and at some point i got up and walked around and the first two coaches are like. empty. total of 5 people. #and i was like huh the train is pretty empty anyway #and i moved down to like coach 6 and actually the train is p full just no one wants to sit in the first two coaches #and theyre right #had full on panic attack when the train started

top ten funny ford escape moments

1. that time it just completely died after a 20 minute trip out of town but was completely fine the next morning (last summer)

2. that time i woke up to find a huge dent in my car and someones shattered tail light beneath it (last winter)

3. that time it had an engine misfire and it was scary (also last winter)

4. that time the radio decided to change stations and turn its volume all the way up of its own volition (last winter and continuing, frequency of these events seems to be determined by humidity???)

5. that time the drivers side door wouldnt close unless you locked the door but then the lock stopped working so i had to drive to the shop with one hand tightly gripping the door handle so it wouldnt swing open on every right turn (this winter)

6. that time i thiught i had another misfire because my car was shaking more than usual and the engine light was flashing but when i turned the car on and off again everything was apparently fine (today)

7. that time my car was actually not fine because i get back into town and discover that my car is accelerating on its own (today)

8. my car was ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN I WAS NOT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL

9. it WOULD NOT STOP and when i put it in park it made some terrifying, expensive sounding noises (cause it was still trying to fucking drive for some reason!!!!) and i immediately turned off the car fuck that fuck that fuck that

10. also my power steering fluid is leaking but all of todays car moments are somehow unrelated according to my dad and his friend who are both way more experienced woth cars than me but could not identify the other liquid that was leaking out of my poor car

#apparently theres been like 7 recalls for this car #i think 3-4 of them are related to the problems ive been having in the almost 2 years ive owned this car #anyway today was fucking terrifying i was just gonna go to my dads to hang out and eat some tacos and nachos but then halfway there #funny moment number 6 happened #and then everything else #thank fucking god i have good fucking parents oh my god #thank god theyre willing to help me out with my 20 year old car that cant keep itself together for even a few months #especially since i know fuck all about cars like what the fuck do you do when you car refuses to come to a stop #i got so fucking lucky there too cause that didnt happen until like right after a stop sign #and that was the last stopsign before you get to my dads house too #this is a warning for the ford escape 2003 fandom #ford escape 2003 #if u have one just get a new fucking car #unless ur like me and ur poor as shit #or just sentimental

I'm gonna be real I think people are a little bit weird about the way their kids smile sometimes

#like i get wanting to have a photo with a Nice smile #but sometimes i get to the stage where I'm showing people the photos and theyre like ':/ her face looks weird in all of them..' #and its like ma'am she's like 6. she has a funny cute six year old smile. also she's standing Right There with you

I've only got 4 episodes left in season 4 of ML, and I'm feeling like this show is going through a bit of an identity crisis. It started as a simple monster-of-the-week superhero show with small hints at plot here and there, but now in season 4 it really feels like they're trying to focus a LOT more on the plot aspects and it's kind of collapsing in on itself lol

I understand it's not uncommon for modern cartoons to start with a simple premise and then start building up a plot later on, but with Ladybug, it feels like they want to have a big story but aren't willing to break away from the base formula of the show. Which is kind of an issue, because the base formula includes having a character press the "revert everything to the status quo" button; aka, if anything of consequence happens, it doesn't actually matter because it'll always be fixed/reversed by the end of the episode. There's essentially little to no plot development , because the forumla literally does not allow for it.

Ladybug doesnt need to have a huge overarching storyline (I honestly enjoyed it more when they weren't so focused on the plot), but it just feels kinda lame for them to dangle all of these different plot threads in front of the audience only to immediately say "just kidding!" and then pretend they never happened. It can come off as very fanfiction-y at times (Oblivio and Chat Blanc come to mind), and they've done the identity reveal fakeout so many times now that when it actually happens, I'm not sure I'm gonna have much of a reaction other than "finally lol". Their lack of dedication to letting anything change in the status quo is SUPER obvious with Chloe.

Chloe has a full redemption arc set up in seasons 2&3 (making her sympathetic, giving her a sad backstory that explains why she is the way she is, making her have moments of lucidation where she admits she's a bad person), only to have her turn evil in the season 3 finale because... she's the mean girl. I'm not even saying Chloe HAD to be redeemed; the idea of having an antagonist try to redeem themselves, only for them to fall even farther, is super enticing to me! The problem is, the show very clearly set up a normal redemption story, and then just changed its mind last second because "she's the Mean one". It's really jarring!

Its like the show has all of these ideas for dramatic storylines, but instead of picking one plotline and focusing on that, they just decided to do all of them and have none of them matter lol

#rabbit miraculous is bullshit btw. whats the point of the snake if the bunny is infinitely better #do not send spoilers about the end of season 4 pls btw. im finishing it later today #im hoping itll make me eat my words about the lack of anything happening in the plot #WHICH B T W. im not saying NOTHING has happened in the plot #when mari told alya that she was ladybug? s tier scene. when they did that at the END of the episode and i realized it was permanent #i was like #miraculous ladybug #sorry for the long post lol. season 4 has been very weird #im almost done mieaculous posting and then we can go back to our regularly scheduled pony programming uwu #not art #i just really need to clarify that im not expecting like. super deep dark storylines from this show #but the show is really suffering from its lack of dedication to ANY of its ideas and its really weird to watch #idk anything about supposed drama around the creator of the show or whatever. im just forming my opinions on the show itself #if youve read this far: i am gonna kiss you on the lips. mwah #didnt meant to post a full essay on this show for 9 year olds but here we are #despite everything ive said here i still really enjoy the show lol. its good junkfood #ill still give the show like a 6 or 7/10 lol i dont care. i enjoy it a lot #:0!!! #every dramtic episode of the show is pretty much always reversed via time travel. theyre just making their own aus lol
