#those things are so expensive

[thewingedwolf]

the arryn line has died out so many times they always have a backup line ready to be the next arryn, these bitches are just sooooo bad at living. everyone’s always picking on the starks for getting nearly wiped out but damn ned & cat really hunkered down and repopulated the hell out of the family tree, like the starklings aren’t doing that bad, meanwhile you just like, sneeze too hard in the direction of the eyrie and the whole arryn line is on the brink of extinction, but it’s okay, they follow strict osha guidelines in the vale and they have a protocol for this very common scenario

#it was like 3 separate times in the history PLUS harry harding where the narrator is like ‘yeah they had to just this random cousin out #their ass because the whole line died. all the sons And the daughters And the dad had no siblings’ LIKE WHY ARE THEY INCAPABLE OF KEEPING IT #GOING OMG #rani liveblogs asoiaf #house arryn #i am waiting for my fire & blood hold to come in 💀💀 i made little notes when i was listening to the targs section about things that #interested me or that i thought could be involved in plot/prophecy stuff so i listen harder for certain stuff during fire & blood #then it’s dunk & egg. i’ve been listening to a clash of kings between all this it’s just that the series are audiobooks i own & the #other things are ones i checked out so i have to listen to those Now. esp fire & blood that hold list was so long 😭😭 but audiobooks are #expensive i can only get so many!!!! #a song of ice and fire

Catching up on the whole watcher situation because I ironically stopped watching their channel regularly because I didn’t like how expensively produced their shows were compared to Buzzfeed Unsolved’s simplicity

#i didn’t have a problem with them changing the way they did things or anything #like it made sense that they would want to have a significant departure from their Buzzfeed style after leaving Buzzfeed #i just didn’t like it as much #so i would only watch occasionally if i needed something to listen to in the background #the fact that they are now trying to put their content behind a paywall #because production is so expensive #is wild to me #like imo the production actively made the show less enjoyable #why are you spending money you don’t have on it??? #idk it just makes me sad #like i know the YouTube documentarians i watch are probably going to end up doing videos on this #usually with those videos i’m the one from the outside looking in on some drama around a person i’ve never heard about before #but i was a fan of ryan and shane since high school #I have some of their Buzzfeed unsolved merch #it’s sad that people i looked up to turned out to be so out of touch on so many levels #watcher

lollll stevens insta post is so tone def too like uhh u can smell the privilege coming off this 🧍

ohhhh... I think I'm going to hurt him

#''for those who won't be joining us'' WON'T?????? Will Not. huh hm. strange phrasing #how about. for those who can't afford to join us. god i'm rollin my eyes #WHY DOES THIS FEEL SO STANKY. so wait #does this decision have DIRECT CORRELATION to him wanting to do more of his food shows again??? #the ones where he takes his christian ass to upscale dining places in japan and italy and shit and eats the most expensive thing he can fin #bc that is SO not what ppl subbed to watcher for bro. this was NOT worth-it hype #this was ghoul boys hype #and i don't gaf about production value eitherrrRRRR #sergle answers #i know i'm not alone in liking the stuff they made that was lower production value #that's not where the Value actually lies. it isn't valuable bc it's more Produced #it's valuable bc it's funny and people like ryan and shane's personalities and the show formats

For how much Machete is described by others as off-putting, he really is a beautiful dog. Does Vasco ever tell him so? That his eyes make him look earnest, his fur the most comforting shade of white like cream, the way his ears catch light like stained glass? If someone doesn't tell him so, he'd forever think he was ugliest duckling

I think Vasco definitely tries, sincerely and often, but Machete is very reluctant to accept compliments and positive feedback. Especially if it's about something as personal and innate as his looks.

#he quietly spends a lot of time and effort trying to make himself look his best so appearances aren't a trivial thing for him #he's always very clean and neat and presentable #except on those occasions when he's soaked in blood but that's totally besides the point #white fur is kind of high maintenance any tiny bit of dirt or staining becomes an eyesore and if it dries it may be hard to remove #he bathes very frequently way more than average considering the time period #some of the outfits he wears are worth more than the combined lifetime earnings of like six generations of his family #silk was outrageously expensive and the brightest red dye came from pulverized cochineal insects that had to be imported from America #which had been colonized less than a century ago so those tiny little cactus bugs were really troublesome to get and the demand was huge #he doesn't quite have the nerve to wear perfume despite it's widespread popularity at the time #but he makes sure the smell of frankincense burned during church services sticks to his fur and clothes #in general when you spend your entire life around strict emotionally congested highly religious men #you might not end up developing a very healthy self-esteem or body image #once you've internalized that sense of inferiority it's hard to unlearn it #he's so thirsty for approval and praise but when he receives some he immediately gets uncomfortable and distrustful and vaguely angry #he absolutely struggles to compliment people back as well at least on any meaningful and personal level so there's that #answered #anonymous #Machete

well, this all looks rather familiar...

#the llama or alpaca gem literally looks like one of the gems from the ice king crown #though thats interesting because I thought the ice elemental guy got it from a lava monster #also the wizard looking guys on the part about the magic beans remind me of those things shown in the cosmic imagination explained vids #those ones by paxw on youtube & other creators #im getting a bit tired pardon me if I miss on names & things im still reeling from the 7-8 episode experience; thank you to the AT crew #the next slide looks a LOT like the land of Ooo though I can't pinpoint where; im already terrible with irl geography #this man has been fixated on cursed objects since like day 1 lmao #doomed by the narrative fr #petrigrof got me crying though im ngl #im gonna miss my partner a lot when I go to finland :((( It might be a few years before I can see them in person again because travel #is very expensive 😭 thats probably partially why this hit so hard for me; I'm gonna miss our dates & adventures #mine #op #adventure time spoilers #adventure time fionna and cake #adventure time #fionna and cake #simon petrikov

this is my entire stance on the "american food is bad" discourse summed up

#there are two distinct times when american food is bad #when it's people who are well off or rich enough that all they care about is appearances and how expensive the ingredients are #bcs they don't care about taste anymore it's a status thing #and also when it's stupid gentrified gimmick restaurants basically following the Cesare from Big Top Burger formula #where it doesn't matter how it tastes #it's just about it looking cool or having a gimmick so influences will come take pictures and give you tons of free advertising #that's when american food is bad #bcs rip to y'all but I grew up dirt fucking poor around other dirt fucking poor people of all races and backgrounds #and we COULD cook y'all under the table with these things #when all you have for food is hamburger helper and canned soup well damn you learn how to make it taste good #also those two bad times are NOT unique to america AT ALL #remember the Australian fish and chips that had activated charcoal and looked like actual shit? #this ain't an american problem this is a fucking rich people problem send tweet #this is also why I can't watch chopped anymore #the way they talk about ingredients like those like they're worthless and they can't believe people would eat them #like cool glad you grew up well off enough to afford real people food #the rest of us had to learn to make velveeta taste good and you know what #I could cook your ass under the table with velveeta and all those other 'cheap' ingredients you're mocking

Workin' on a new painted grinning beast mask >:)

#ragsycon exclusive #wip #i was gonna do something ambitious with my seaglass paints on the face and leaving the teeth chrome #but masking off those teeth is an incredible enormous pain in the ass #so I'm probably going to give it some sort of neon lowlights instead #among other things #I'd love to have the means to sculpt these in clay and cast them instead of digital sculpt and 3d print #because it would be easier to add in surface detail that would make the paints more interesting #but that's an incredibly expensive endeavor that i don't have the funds for #and I'm already bad enough at advertising the things i DO have in my shop #idk idk #I've actually already nearly broken even on my shop startup costs #thanks to redbubble #the problem being that PO box renewal fees are in a few months and they are. spensive

charlie bushnell saying luke is like anakin skywalker..... SO CORRECT AND TRUE

#anakin skywalker #luke castellan #star wars #percy jackon and the olympians #ohh doing things you know are horrible and betraying those you love and causing so much pain in the name of what you believe is right #because there's a better world somewhere and this is the only way you see toward it. even if it comes at the expense of your own family #and then the whole thing turns out to be a lie. and you realize this too late and you've already ruined everything. but you can give what's #left of you. you can make a sacrifice to give the people you once called family a chance to make things right again #this parallel is making me worse as i type this

With every "Roach is ghosts dead fiance 🥺" or "Roach sent soap for ghost 🥺" I grow stronger. And one day, I will have enough strength to write a purely vindictive fic where SOAP is ghosts dead ex fiance and ghost falls in love with ROACH.

I'm gonna pull a switcheroo on them

Anyways GhostRoachSoap for the win

#listen i'm totally chill with SoapGhost #I myself do enjoy SoapGhost #however i will never enjoy it at the expense of Roach #like genuinely it breaks my fuckin' heart #which coincidentally is why I had to write SiTO #so I could fix things and let Roach get his happy ending #gary roach sanderson #ghost x roach #ghost x soap #also this is definitely a joke I would just appreciate it if people who write those fics would tag them with Past ghost/roach #or #not even tag ghost/roach at all

I got these shoes from someone recently but thought they were way too plain looking, so I set out on a quest to customize them with some sharpies and charms and miscellaneous ribbon I had in my craft drawers. Mostly sky themed (clouds, rainbows, rain, stars, etc.) because that's my favorite aesthetic, but I had to include some cat imagery as well, of course lol.

#also honestly had NO IDEA that real converse have that star logo on the INSIDE not the outer part??? why the hell would you want it on the #inner portion where nobody can see it?? my entire life I always would have sworn it was on the outer facing portion.. #I think these would be perfect IF they were just slightly taller (top part higher above ankles instead of just weird hard material digging #right into your ankle whenever you walk) and if they were actual good platforms. they're so short. It's good that 'chunky' shoes are gettin #more popular as they've always been my favorite Look ever since I had these shoes with roller skates that pop out of thebottom (not heelys. #but like. before those. it was two whole entire roller skate wheels like a normal pair of roller skates) and the bottoms were so tall and #clunky and it made my feet look giant (because it had.. entire wheels in the bottom pockets lol). so #I've alwatys been into the aesthetic but . still I find a lot of the 'brands jumping on trend' are too short of platforms #OR they're plafrorms with a raised back/heel/wedge which to me is not aesthetically good and also makes them exceptionally uncomfortable to #wear compared to just plain completely flat chunky platform bottoms. ANYWAY.. if these shoes had a 3 or 4 inch platform I think they'd be #cooler. however for what they are it's still fine! and I like them more now that they actually have some sort of anything to them and #aren't just plain white. The weird thing is that the material it's made out of (maybe some sort of leather or something) absorbs sharpie? #the color changes over time. You draw a mark and then leave it for a few days and it either fades into being barely there or has changed #colors. so I had to go back in and redo parts. ALSO the shoe chains are so funny because I did NOT have the right tools for them #I don't have the stuff to make bracelets or open and close the little rings. they're held onto the shoe with just safety pins and the actua #little rung things that hold the charms on half of them are like broken or the metal is just jam smushed together bent and warped hhbjhjhb #I actually like the back a lot where there's the irridecent star thing hot glued on there. it's cool and shiny. and the clouds #are sparkly on the main parts of the shoe though I'm not sure how well it shows up in pictures #ANYWAY... shoegs..... If I were rich this is one of the things I would definitely custom order from craftsman #why would I spend like thousands of dollars on plain ass shoes that are just expensive because they're a Luxury Brand when I could literall #like pay people to create me custom shoes to my exact specifications?? I could have like 5 inch flat platform boots with fur andclouds #and cat shaped holes in the bottom with LEDs in them with pom pom and charms and etc. etc. etc. Like as gaudy and excessively over #decorated as I want lol.. AND they could have skates in the bottom somehow!! ghjgbhjb #this on top of all the custom wizard costumes and period clothing I would order.. Like i LOVE customizing things. I love everything in my l #life being as particualr as possible and cultivating every experience I have to meticulously meet my own specific criteria as much #as is possible. If I had the money to I would never buy something from a store again. EVERYTHING I owned from furniture to clothing #would be either made by me - or mostly - comissioned from craftsmen. custom tiles for my floors. custom bed. custom table. #even like. custom toilet. custom sinks. etc. etc. ouGGH... but yeah.. anyway... shoes..

Genuinely curious what all the people on my furry poll that voted No but said they 'believe in their beliefs' mean by that. Because if they mean they like anthropromorphic animals but don't engage with the fandom/have a suit/have a fursona then MAN have I got news for them

#you dont need any of that stuff. BE FREE #Judging from the responses I feel like the Yes percentage would be way higher if people knew #there were allowed to call themselves furries for whatever reason they want. you dont need to check off a huge list #*they #''I have a fursona and love the art but I don't have a suit so unfortunately I'm not a furry'' HUH. ME NEITHER DUDE #the majority of furries don't. those things are expensive as hell #also the 'needing to engage w the fandom' thing is also bs. is your dad not a true acdc fan bc he doesn't participate in the fandom??? NO! #BE FREE HAVE FUNNNNNN

sigzai hc that dazais suicide jokes make sigma rly worried and sometimes send him into a panic attack bc he doesnt want to lose dazai anf the stupid twink realizes it eventually (sigma refuses to say anything bc thats just how dazai copes and he doesnt want to somehow make it worse) and stops making as many self deprecating jokes/becomes more aware of how much he means to people . i dont even know they make me insane

i love them

#asks #autistic-ranpo #i love this headcanon very much actually #dazai is such a smart guy but he doesnt really think about how is actions might affect other people somtimes i think . #hes always thinkig in his twelves steps ahead chess mode but he neglects the little things sometimes #meanwhile sigma . he thinks TOO much about how what he does affects other people . see : the entire casino arc #he takes way too much about everyone else into consideration at his own expense #idk where im going with this but . theyre so very #i dont know how to explain it but a lot of those two are so similar yet so ridiculously far removed from each other and different . #does this make sense . probably not #arghrghrghrghh

having mommy issues be like I hate that you know me I hate that we’re related I hate that you birthed me I hate that you don’t know how to love me properly I hate that you can’t see how much you hurt me I hate that I’m expected to love you

#cy says stuff #I moved out when I was 17 for a reason #but I do still go back to visit when schools out sometimes and I regret it every single time #every time we talk I’m like damn is it time to call it quits because this is not it #I literally feel like I’m constantly on the brink of being disowned or kicked out of the house when I’m there #but it’s also for things like. bringing a single bottle of wine to a Christmas party that I did not even drink #or like. moving in with my partner of 4 years. because we are going to the 2nd most expensive city in Canada and girl I cannot pay the rent #or being upset when she reads my diary ?? or reads my credit card statements without permission and also just like behind my back?? #like do you think I’m not going to find out when you bring up information you only would’ve known if you had read those things #I can put two and two together… #also I’m literally almost done my university degree. i am fully an adult. these should not be issues ! #ahhhhh!!! #anyways I will speak to my therapist about this lol #also y’all my friends are always like oh I love my mom and it just seems to be a socially accepted thing that you should love your mom #but what if your mom sucks what then #I genuinely cannot relate to them I’m like literally what does that feel like #the first time I felt loved was when I was 15 lol there is 0 love in my family #anyways ! #it’s okay I am out of it and I have been out of it #just #always on the brink of cutting her off forever lol #some ppl just never change as much as you want them to and that is tough to accept. #it is also harder because society is telling my that I need to stay loyal to my family cause they’re blood #but if this were anyone else I would’ve blocked them so long ago 😭
