I’ve been thinking a lot about adulthood.

I’m 20 now, and in a little over a month- I’m going to be 21.

I remember when I was 17, in high school. The weight of the world was on my shoulders, I’d come up with stories as I stared out the bus window in the mornings. I was incredibly depressed and had no sense of identity. I’d stay after school for hours with my friends, running through the halls and hiding little memes around campus.

I felt like I knew everything. That I could do and be anything I wanted.

I also felt the crushing weight of helplessness.

And now I’m 20. I work part time, and I’m still working on my degree. I’ve been out of high school almost as long as I was in it. Time passes quicker. I feel like I know nothing. Learning never stops, and I’m more tired than I ever have been. I have good friends, we meet on the weekends and tell stories together. I got rid of a dresser I’ve had since childhood and cried for hours about it. I’m getting closer and closer to fulfilling my dreams. I feel as if I’m always overwhelmed, there’s always something to do or think about.

But ultimately, I know that I will never know everything. That my parents are aging, that everything is changing.

It’s been a process of grieving and excitement. Uncertainty and accomplishment. Failure and community. I don’t know if this is where I thought I’d be at 20. I didn’t think I’d make it this far, to be honest. It’s been a constant battle of reconnecting with who I was as a child, and yet seeing that child as a stranger. Was she ever me? And then I see a cool bug and remember that yes, she is me.

But I think that what I’m trying to say is- it’s ok to cry over a dresser. Change is difficult. We’re all just doing our best with what we can do.

Hi there! And get ready for a paranoia induced observation about things that don’t matter :)

The shampoo on the left is the older bottle that I just finished, and the one on the right is newer.

Both of the bottles are identical both in text and ingredients, but upon opening the new one- the formula looks like a champagne color, while the old one was an almost clear purple/white color.

I’m no chemist, but I figured that the two bottles with the exact same ingredients listed would have the same colors because they have the SAME ingredients

Maybe the one on the left is just older and therefore the solution sort of split? Or maybe they’re using a new formula and didn’t actually update the ingredients? Either way, something for me to think about I guess.

[red-cant-fly]

Yeah this was pretty much it

Im killing myself

[red-cant-fly]

I’m not aloof and mysterious, I just have social anxiety

[red-cant-fly]

I guess I’m 20 now

True knowledge is knowing that Todd Howard won’t be able to meet the expectations for The Elder Scrolls 6, but also knows he has a following who will pay a lot for a game like Starfield, and with this knows he can make a ton of money off of a mediocre Elder Scrolls game- and has already given up on giving us a good product.

I got my wisdom teeth taken out today! Asked my dad for details, as I didn’t remember a solid 30 minutes after waking up

I remember thinking “hey the lines on the ceiling are moving” and then I was gone. When I woke up I kept trying to get up and they kept telling me to lay down

On the drive home, apparently I was really talkative and kept trying to start conversation

Me, before surgery: “after the surgery ask me my favorite movie or something.”

Me, delirious and on the drive home:

“they kept asking me my favorite movie and I didn’t know!”

“Woah when did you get a frosty?”

Me: “I had really long dreams”

Dad: “we’re they good or bad”

Me: “neither”

*all I remember now is that Marty McFly was in it*

[red-cant-fly]

Headcanon that George McFly would constantly ask Marty to play “Love Walks In” by Van Halen. They’d bond over the funny alien rock song. I rest my case.

To back me up, we know Marty likes Van Halen from the first movie, and in the comics it shows him playing “Dance The Night Away” with the Pinheads so-

New Rick and Morty ramble brought to you by my brother, who is an enjoyer of ✨statistics✨

We were thinking about Unmortricken, again, and in his words he described Probability stasis:

“Consider a simple probability model, where you sample without replacement. Your sample size is 10, comprising of 9 red marbles and 1 blue marble. When you remove a red marble as a sample of the population, the probability of sampling the blue marble increases. As Rick combs through infinity, he is sampling without replacement, but infinity-1 is still infinity. He was sampling under the assumption that the probability of finding Rick Prime increases as he samples, however due to the fact that infinity is endless, the probability will never change, so when Evil Morty tells him to “filter for probability stasis”, he is saying “no matter how you look at it, your chances are both the same and infinitesimally small.” And as soon as this takes place, Rick starts to get closer to Rick Prime, leading to the rest of the episode’s events.”

So I’ll elaborate on this later, I’ve been meaning to make a long winded post about this with photos and evidence and whatnot but I’ll just word vomit for now

So, Rick and Morty spoilers for s7 ep5, unmortricken

I’ve had a long running theory that Evil Morty is a clone made by the citadel, he seemed to know a lot about (and was really bitter about) the cloning process on the citadel. He explains this to our protagonists during the s5 finale.

Now. In the newest episode we learn that he was originally partnered with a Rick, of which he turns into ‘Evil Rick’- a glorified puppet.

But that doesn’t necessarily mean that he WASN’T a clone, he said the citadel made Morty clones to help supply meet demand, so his rick could have just as easily gotten Evil Morty from the cloning market. Which sounds so wrong lol-

To back this up, we see evil Morty delete information about himself off of a database specifically about Mortys, with no clear dimension number. He didn’t bother to delete his Ricks data.

Ok so IK this is two BTTF reblogs in one day but I need to talk about this- I’m so happy I’m not the only one with this thought process.

So- when Marty alters the past and goes back to the future he technically created an alternate timeline, for convenience I’ll refer to this new timeline as the “Lone Pines” timeline.

So- he seems super excited at first. He’s got his dream car, his mom approves of his girlfriend and doesn’t seem to drink, his dad is making more money and pursued his creative outlook- on top of finally standing up for himself. Biff is no longer an issue for them. His brother has got a good office job, and his sister is finally able to date who she wants and works in a boutique.

BUT

Don’t you think, after some time, Marty would realize he didn’t have the same experiences or memories as the rest of the family? Since they’re so drastically different, maybe they’ve taken vacations or had experiences together that Marty just *wouldn’t know about* because he’s not from *this timeline.*

Maybe our Marty may even be different from the Marty who grew up in the new timeline, and it could possibly even lead to his family feeling like he changed overnight.

Maybe he’d feel incredibly isolated after some time because all that he knew just doesn’t exist anymore. His dad was a coward sure, but that’s what he grew up with- it’s what he was used to. His mother was stuck in an unhappy marriage and lived in the past to try and keep it together, seemingly with alcohol. But it’s what he was used to. Although the new timeline may have seemed like a dream come true initially..

We don’t get to see the rest.

same as it never was.

I am once again pondering the fact that Marty McFly is just such a fantastic character. Like, especially when you look at other male protagonists in the 80s, they all follow a similar trend. A lot are uber cool and suave, with the added side effect of also being a jerk. Many are popular jocks or whatever. Big flirts. Edgy and troubled or sleazy, etc.

And Marty is sort of in his own category entirely. He's cool, but he's not? He skateboards and kills it on guitar but has 2 whole friends--his girlfriend and a disgraced scientist--and crippling self-doubt and can't go a day without falling down or tripping over his own feet or nearly being killed by a car.

He's polite. He's respectful. Won't let anyone mess with the people he loves and doesn't let a moment pass by where he can thank somebody or apologize for a wrongdoing. (seriously, Marty has beautiful manners. Like, it is quite noticeable how often he says, "please," "thank you," "excuse me," or "sorry".)

His emotions are all SO BIG and he doesn't hold back on them. He gets all animated when he's excited and yells when he's scared and cries when he's sad and pulls his friend into big ol' hugs.

He literally never knows what is going on. Marty exists in the constant state of confusion. Between asking Doc to "wait a minute" every other sentence and his ever-changing, scattered thoughts, Marty is just out there trying to survive. Just slow it down, alright? He's a smart guy, but he's also got elevator music playing in his head. Really really fast elevator music.

Time means nothing to him. His watch is broken. He's racking up tardies like it's nobody's business. Stopping by the garage to look for Doc and play some guitar when he should be at school. He's got to get out of that stupid suit RIGHT THIS INSTANT even though he's got one shot at the lightning strike at the clock tower.

Marty just. Does things. There is zero impulse control. A synapse fires and Marty's brain goes "!!!" and that's that. Punch the bully who's twice your size, buy that sports almanac, just Walk Away while Doc is talking to you. Buy that sweet leather jacket. Ignore ALL instructions you're given! Marty, you need constant supervision and I love you for that.

He's just. Marty is the most character. Look at him.

They really knocked it out of the park with this guy.

—Story time!—

I’d just finished watching The Secret of my Success (1987) to bond with my dad and I go back to my room and there’s this **massive** spider- like BIG.

And he’s gone upstairs but I don’t wanna move because I knew as soon as I did the spider would do some voodoo *bullshit* and disappear so I called him, asked him to come downstairs to help, and I just kept my eyes on it

And this Mf comes in with this robot arm grabber toy- and just C L A M P S it around the spider and smooshes it-

And I just stare at him, absolutely gobsmacked. Like ***holy shit*** that’s so smart- I’ve literally never thought of doing that

(Apparently he hadn’t either and it was a stroke of genius)

I’m now the current holder of the #1 spider killing toy

(Also happy anniversary Dad, glad I was born lol)

Does anybody know where Evil Morty was during the rickshank redemption I think about this way too often and wonder if people have theories 😭

[red-cant-fly]

On todays episode of “quenching my autistic urges by finally watching BTTF 3 for the first time, which my dad notably dislikes.”

An interaction between my sibling and I

“Five bucks that dad didn’t like BTTF 3 because of the age gap between Clara and Doc.”

Sibling: “I don’t have $5”

Me: “ok- $1?”

Him: “not that either.”

Me: “a *quarter???*”

Him: “sure”

*a while later I return and hand sibling a quarter.*

Me: ”he didn’t think it did justice to the old west, thought Marty was smart enough to not go back in that first outfit (even if doc made him wear it), and hated the time train at the end.”
