#yes i know i can't believe it either

[theladyyavilee]

do you ever think about how buck was able to pull and lift eddie to safety, while eddie wasn’t able to either pull or lift buck? like I know the physics were different and eddie would be able to pull and lift buck under the same circumstances that buck did it, it was just impossible to lift him up onto the ladder in contrast to doing the standing lift buck did to get him into the firetruck but still WHAT A FUCKED UP PARALLEL to incorporate both pulling and lifting again *screams into hands* (also to have both of those instances in the shooting be the only times eddie is making noises of pain, which while horrifying to hear were also indicators that eddie is still very much alive to feel it, while buck was just quiet and dead, but that’s another kind of fucked up)

#9-1-1 #buddie #nobody does parallels like 911 #yes I am still stuck on the lightning strike #and the visuals and the parallels #and eddie's desperation as he tried to pull buck up #he must have known from years and years of experience (and an innocent but intimate familiarity with buck's body) that he wouldn't #be able to pull him up like that #and yet #our base instinct is still to pull our loved ones in close because proximity does help with protecting someone #offers your own body as a last resort to shield them so OF COURSE it's instinct to pull buck close #but eddie can't #he can't even do that when buck did it for him #(also eddie screaming in pain when buck pulled him and lifted him is one of the reasons why I have trouble believing that eddie doesn't #remember it because I would imagine that that pain cut through the hazziness and confusion and burned the impressions into his memory right #next to buck's blood spattered face but aslkdfjasjkl obvs there's no proof for that) #either way I am convinced eddie knows that buck pulled him to safety and he couldn't #anyways #hello yes #I am having a parallel breakdown on this fine sunday morning

Janeway in 'Nothing Human' vs Tuvok in 'Resolutions' There's something here I know there is I can almost wrap my teeth around it.

#I can't watch Nothing Human bc the puppet really disconcerts me #but I cannot believe Janeway really came into B'Elanna's room after all that and the FIRST thing she says...her OPENER is #'Wow it smells awful in here~!' #DUDE....................TIME AND PLACE #HEHEHHE #C'MON MAN #B'Elanna: Is [putting it behind us] an order? / Janeway [normal!]: Yes. #'And what emotion is that?' C'MON MAN!!!!!! #Janeway & Tuvok #Kathryn Janeway #Tuvok #I can see why she and Tuvok are friends #'I understand you're upset but fall in line' #You can be upset but not if effects your work #<- Something which would be fine on a regular ship but is very difficult on Voyager #I think Janeway's certain coldness or ruthlessness which can be aimed at either friend or foe is an interesting #aspect of her personality #Ex: She and B'Elanna COULD have feasibly had a more touching scene together to close out the episode but they don't #I don't know if I'm explaining myself well right now I'm a bit ill and more than a bit tired #Something about uhh maybe....people under their command vehemently and emotionally disagreeing with them/their decisions?? #you can disagree with me but not if you don't follow me anyway #Voyager a ship full of contradictions #they have to all work together and they are all closer emotionally than any other starship due to their situation #but they are also still 'at work' and are expected to follow orders. It's like a 'casual' hierarchy but it's still a hierarchy #and you can't fall too far out of line bc you're someone dear to me #but you're also a valued cog in the machine #and even though you ARE valued you ARE still a cog in the machine #but you're also my dear friend. and all of these things are true at once. #all of that of course but also Janeway & Tuvok are displaying a very particular kind of shared leadership style in these moments #Janeway is obviously on the whole MUUUCH more charismatic and understanding than Tuvok but still - when push comes to shove...

more sk8. I think the cindereki stuff is extremely stupid but I am not immune to trying to conceptualize a princess gown in any setting

#sk8 the infinity #kyan reki #hasegawa langa #renga #if ur wondering yes the first gown I uh. pulled? from the brothers grimm version's idea #which I do prefer to the perrault/disney version. specifically bc there's no fairy #there are three balls happening on three consecutive nights and each night cinderella gets a gown and accessories from a tree #growing on her mom's grave #(the version I grew up with (translated to vietnamese) actually wrote it to be her dad's grave instead I literally dont know why) #and the wording is like. ''rain gold and silver on me'' or something like that? which is why all of the dangly bits in that design #(dont worry about the rest of the brothers grimms version. thats not important. dont think about it its not in the room with us) #also in this post: future!renga bc of fucking course. who do you think I am. who do you think I am #I see a character I love I immediately try to imagine a good future for them it is Simply my ways #ft. the lethal combo of being three kinds of queer + adhd + a teen #may just be bc I myself don't go to college lol. but I can't really imagine reki going to college. he'd get apprenticeship somewhere #like immediately. on sight. some uncle in nago would snatch him up a sentence in #I waffle on langa but him just getting out of the biggest shock of his life + severe depression would Not let go of his loved ones #so tbh I can't imagine him leaving okinawa either. at least right after high school #langa has the advantage of not giving a single shit about ''his potentials'' so he'll be chasing life's pleasures for a hot second thank you #also I believe in reki speaking at least passable conversational english thank you. he's trans and gay in asia #he's just also the kind of guy who has to think for a hot second to remember which way the written number 3 faces #''nailed the logic just plugged the wrong number in several times'' kind of guy #while langa's the ''doesn't understand the fundamental concept of puzzles'' kind of guy #man. this is like having two homunculi implanted in my brain. welcome boys come join leon pokemon #talk to each others while I do my job ok? thank you #that said. the comm queue should be finished up soon #(funny thing to say about three comms I know. but I will say it anyway) #and I'll take a few days break to unclench my brain and then get back into it #every day I learn new things about the dip pen. its great #okay. nap now tho. anything else can wait

listen. LISTEN. I knoooowwwwwwwww that August has never been important enough for canon to ever bother expanding upon issues like this. I know, but...

In the pilot, we KNOW that Emma is lonely. We know this because she’s sat in her apartment, alone, celebrating her birthday by herself. It’s well established that Emma had no one she considered her family and has had extreme trouble connecting with people over the years (Neal, Lily and Ingrid as fleeting exceptions).

But August? Canon gives us NOTHING. We know almost NOTHING about his past in the Land Without Magic. We’re given the name of one (1) character (Isra) that he has a connection with (someone who is clearly not THAT important to him, as she’s never mentioned again ever) and that’s IT.

Emma stays in Storybrooke to begin with because of Henry, yes. But it’s not a particularly tough decision for her because, well...she has nothing to go back to anyway. And I can’t help but wonder how true that was for August as well? Like....??? did he bother to contact ANYONE when he thought he was dying???

August is a genuinely intelligent and charismatic character (albeit, a little obnoxious). I have no doubt that he has made friends + friendly acquaintances over the years. But close friends? People he can open up to about his past with and who won’t think he’s losing his mind? HIGHLY doubtful.

I know that the show didn’t really explore their friendship very much or expand on it in any meaningful way, but Emma and August’s relationship is sooooooooooo *chef’s kiss* to me. Yeah, they have genuine chemistry and a fun dynamic, yeah the ‘I can always tell when someone is lying to me’ character interacting with a character that is literally Pinocchio is funny af and surprisingly poetic. But also!!! These are two lonely, emotionally closed off characters that were essentially orphaned by their parents for 28 years that have both had shitty childhoods and have connected so genuinely with one another and I don’t know where I was even going with this but I love both of them so much and they both deserve this friendship and WHY WASN’T AUGUST AT EMMA’S WEDDING I’M STILL MAD ABOUT THIS OKAY

#sorry I actually don't know what this is #it's because it's August tomorrow. that/s all #I'm being weird about him #ANYWAY I JUST WANT THESE TWO TO TALK ABOUT THEIR SHARED PAST EXPERIENCES #(😏 which is something that I WILL be doing later in mim but shhhhhhh) #LICHERALLY losing my mind thinking about august's past #because emma had a shitty childhood (and adulthood) yes #but august has a whole ass past in the enchanted fucking forest!!!!!!! he;s LITEREALLY pinocchio and he has memories of that #and he can't talk to ANYONE about those memories or that past because3 they straight up wouldn't believe him!!!!!!! #and so either he HAS to let it go! OR ELSE he risks pushing that person away #OR EVEN WORSE he risks people thinking he needs to be put away somewhere or given serious therapy or whatever #*(he DOES need serious therapy. but that's not what I'm talking about here) #AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #having a normal one this evening guys #august meta #(I mean. BARELY. but I still want it in that tag) #august booth #ouat

I wish I could tell my 9-year old self that no, growing up and getting excited about "boring" things like kitchen appliances isn't sad, because contrary to what people would have you think it DOESN'T tend to totally change who you are as a person and replace everything else you love - they add to what makes you happy, they don't replace a damned thing, and the excitement is VERY genuine

But since I can't do that I'll just put it out here for any younger people who need it

You grow to love "boring" things because they improve your life, not because it's the only thing you're "allowed" to get excited about once you reach a certain age

Also! That stage in life has nothing to do with numerical age; you can fall in love with something "boring" at any time and it feels exactly the same! Loving the new kitchen appliance as an adult is no different from loving the Easy-Bake oven or the first thing you learned to make your own recipes with as a kid! It's not "turning into your parents" (scary), it's bringing out new joy in YOU! It's fucking awesome!

#lpt #personal #in totally unrelated news i put a high-end blender on payment plan and it has been a godsend for my disabled ass #i will never even WANT to go to starbucks again #and this was recommended by buy-it-once groups i'll probably have it for the rest of my life #and i was afraid it would be super loud because it's so powerful but it's actually the quietest blender i've ever owned #and i've owned...a decent fucking few in the ~$15-60 range #that left huge solid chunks after several minutes of blending #and either burned out their motors or stripped their drive gears before long #and did you know that with a sufficiently powerful blender you can make hot soup? #did you know that this works BETTER for cream soups than a stove because you can't burn it to the pan? #with me staring down wrist surgery next month this is probably the best thing i could have done for myself #yes it sounds boring as hell if you havent experienced it lately #but the joy of Holy Shit My Life Just Got So Much Easier is VERY real #believe your loved ones if they say they want a vacuum for [insert major gift-giving event here] #i am as autdhd-engaged over new blender recipes as i am over some of my favorite media #not more so! just equally! #because joys in life are additive! there is no max capacity for them! #the younger you realize this i think the happier youll be

Story Blurb & Credits Below Cut

   When Duke returned to the Top Station, he found Stanley loafing outside of the sheds.

   "What's this I hear about you rough-riding down the Mountain Road?" the old engine spluttered.

   "Look Gramps," Stanley drawled, "the train arrived, didn't it? I'm afraid I can't see what all the fuss is about."

   "The fuss is that we can't afford to damage our reputation. Everywhere you go, trouble's not far behind. People are getting anxious."

   Stanley eyed Duke, the embers in his cigar flickering brightly.

   "What people?"

   "What people? The people on our line, for starters. Manager's already got his hands full at the Bridge Station - he doesn't need you damaging goods on top of that."

   "Look Gramps, I don't even know what you're talking about, but I assure you it was not my fault." Duke glared at the American Engine, frustration simmering in her eyes. He took a deep breath, and sighed.

   "Fine. But I want no more mischief. You roll so much as a sleeper out of line, you'll never hear the end of it."

   Stanley smirked, and wheeshed a puff of smoke at Duke as he puffed off. Duke huffed under his breath, muttering something about 'damn Yankees'.

   "He'll come around, Dukey." coughed a weary voice. The Duke looked up, and spotted a familiar, worn face peeking out from behind the shed.

   "He's jinxed." Duke sighed. "You know it, and so do I."

   "It's unfortunate," the generator said, "but nothing new."

   "Cheaply made, cheaply built, and if he doesn't get check himself, he'll be cheaply scrapped before long."

   "Which is why you ought to hold out for him, Dukey. Fresh metal like him, straight out of War Service, he don't know scrap about civilian life. He needs someone to be there for him, not push him away."

   "And of course it's left to me to do that. Not Bertram or Frederick or-"

   "Hey, do you know who you are? For Pete's sake, you're The Duke for crying out loud! You're The Engine for the job. If anyone can show him the ropes to make it around here, it's you."

   "Even after all my own failings? Even after I failed you?"

   Smudger coughed out a chuckle. "You can take him, Dukey. Wouldn't be saying it if I didn't believe in it."

Ah, Fishlegs just trying to make Hiccup feel better by blaming his swordfighting on the sword. My babies.

"You could be right," he said eagerly. "It felt a bit light in my hands. Perhaps I need something a bit chunkier, you know, to get some weight behind me swing." He did a few imaginary lunges in the air.

Oh Sweetie, I don't think that's how it works, but I LOVE your energy! (Seriously, I feel like Cressida breathed more life into Hiccup's animation in this one, if that makes sense.)

But man, I can see the appeal of a half-brother AU between Hiccup and Horrendous more and more. A boy is having trouble swordfighting and he wants a new and better blade? Why not ask his blacksmithing older brother?? I love it! I can just see him asking and nagging, using whatever tricks that fiendishly clever brain can think of until his older brother has no other choice but to give in.

#YES I HAVE DEFAULTED TO HORRENDOUS #i don't know what other nickname to give book!hiccup #i took snotface from snotface's actual name #and movie!hiccup isn't technically called horrendous because that is NEVER confirmed in the movieverse #the only one called horrendous is book!hiccup! #listen i thought about this one for a long time okay i feel bad too #httyd books #httyd book 2 #how to be a pirate #liveblog #hiccup horrendous haddock III #hiccup haddock #can't got for the third either because hiccup haddock III was confirmed in rtte i believe #fishlegs no-name

ok. Just to show I'm not a complete asshole all the time. I am gonna fill out a polite little ~feedback~ form but. you all have got to understand. I've been dealing with agencies and companies and state departments almost my entire goddamn life. you almost never ever ever get anywhere when you go through the polite and established channels. but the second you get even a little upset in public down at the welfare office, well, they sure can find paperwork and documents and are able to remember rules a lot better.....

#just sayin........ #I'm not against proper forms and open discussion cause I'm a massive asshole bitch #it's that it rarely if ever fuckin works #do you know how many times I've had to get a little heated in say a rite aid just to get my mom the meds she needs to be alive #you know how many times I've had to get a little rough down at the benefits office and then suddenly OH! YES! THIS PAPERWORK! WE FOUND IT! #I think the staff on this site could receive 800 feedback messages an hour telling them how shitty every decision they've made #for the last 6 months is #and they would not fuckin care #idk what the solution is. can't ever get a majority of ppl on this website to agree on ANYTHING so like a mass log out day or protest #or anything like it isn't gonna work #but I 100000% believe just sending feeback forms is not gonna get us shit either #there has to be something else to do. cause it's not like this whole ignoring the userbase is a NEW thing #just the last couple months have been nothing but users complaining. and rightfully so. but we have been ignored. #so yeah. I'm tired of ~fill out the feedback forms~ cause it feels a lot like #please sit patiently and wait for your mom's meds we don't care if she's having severe seizures we have to call her dr #and make sure the RX is current but we can't find the Dr's phoke number no you may not give it to us #like I'll come over the counter bitch #erin explains it all

I am currently reading a 1990 master's thesis analyzing the birth of the French sports press around 1850 just to be sure my depiction of Booker's life and knowledge is as historically accurate as it possibly can be.

Yep, that's right. That's the level of obsessed I've reached today.

#let's regroup tomorrow and see if I've managed to dig even deeper #no but seriously #can you believe this thesis literally breaks the ground on that topic #it had never been discussed before!! press in general yes extensively but sports press?? nothing #and I couldn't find more recent sources either #but you know what's funny? it's just something I'm gonna mention in a fic where Booker is anything but the focus ahahah #no but for real sports press is almost completely irrelevant to the main focus of the fic #it's just a thought I had and I needed to check and turns out the older the author could go back to was the 1850's #that is to say 38 years after Booker's first/last death and subsequent immortality!! #and truth is I can't fathom what it was like to live back then considering all the entertainment and knowledge that are available #to me just with a keyboard/internet reach #it's wild #anyways I love this and by this I mean spending hours reading weird things and looking for sources and info and getting lost in it #if you've ever wandered down such rabbit holes for the sake of fiction I'd love to hear about it #scribe life #talking scribe #also the thesis was obviously typed and has been digitized and there's just a teeny tiny slant just enough to drive me crazy ahah

I hate it when something is stressing me out and literally the ONLY course of action I can take is to WAIT

If there’s a problem and I’m upset or stressed about it then I want to FIX it. I want to be able to DO something. I want to exert CONTROL somehow so I can move PAST the situation.

But no, sometimes, you’re in a situation where someone ELSE has to do something and so you’re just sitting around wondering when or IF they even will and I HATE IT

#this can be about multiple things #either you're waiting for a job offer. waiting for an application for something to be approved. whatever #for the record I specifically wrote this about someone who I desperately want to talk to but they are ignoring me #and I can't do anything about that #I don't even know if they NEVER want to talk again. or if they just want like two months to themselves. #BUT THEY WON'T TELL ME EITHER WAY #so now i'm in this weird position where I have to just WAIT and maybe my waiting will be pointless because maybe they'll never ever respond! #before any of you say anything. yes I am already working on believing they will never talk to me again and trying not to think about them #i KNOW that's the appropriate course of action #and I'm working on it. but part of me still wants to hope they'll respond. I'm working on killing that part #anyway if there are any younglings following me I want to impart some wisdom on you #if you are going through a rough patch with a friend but you still want to be friends? #it's okay to ask for space BUT you have to make an appointment for after you've had time to calm down and process #if you're in an argument you can say ''let's take time to calm down and talk again in a couple hours at 4pm'' #if it's something more serious you can be like ''let's have a month to ourselves and then meet up on (date) to talk things out'' #if you ask for space but you don't make an appointment? #you're basically giving yourself a project with no deadline and you KNOW you're just going to procrastinate indefinitely #time does NOT magically fix anything. you will never wake up one day and suddenly be ready to talk things out #if you have a goal (be friends again) then you need a game plan to get there. and you need to put in the work #time will not put in any work for you #mine #just a thought mr fox #angst #stress #angry
