You may be cool but you'll never be as cool let alone cooler than this Sky Kid who dove into the glaring red spotlight to distract the Krill targeting another dying Sky Kid trying so hard to get away from it while rapidly losing lights, like, ever.... I can guarantee you
#WHY MUST EPIC SHIT HAPPEN WHEN I DIDN'T SCREENRECORD /WAILS WAILS WAILS/#tbf it was in Eden..... wait. did everyone collectively feel wonky enough today to go on sui--i mean martyrdom mission to Eden?#can't deny there's also a possibility it's a glitch bcs they're all faceless avatars but i saw that red crack of life then another figure#just flew towards it. and miraculously the dying sky kid survived but idk bout the other one (again: everyone was faceless avatars to me)#but i also saw the red spotlight moved from the crawling kid#it's truly a front line battlefield there i was dying as well but someone else managed to reach the kid (tho it took a while)#i survived without being rescued today hooray!!! (immediately went home once my wings recharged 2 bars lmao)#ain't dying in Eye of Eden again. once is ENOUGH.#sky: children of the light#Sky Children of The Light#scotl#Sky cotl

So this is my latest stupid thing

These came out in like 2002, you had to order them blind on the internet from Japan. Soon bootlegs showed up on eBay which always made me really nervous to buy any at all but for whatever reason lately I decided to take the risk. I think the main giveaway with the original bootlegs was that the camouflage paint in particular looked terrible and they didn’t fit together correctly or sit on their stands correctly.
These seem OK but I don’t know if someone made better fakes later or if there was a demand for such a thing. MGS2 is kind of the red headed stepchild of the series.
I have a line on almost every figure in the set; ironically the only one I’m having real trouble finding now is Raiden
#metal gear#metal gear solid#metal gear solid 2#mgs2#i think i am drawn to these at this moment because i don’t have much time to paint and these come painted#i had despaired of finding an Otacon but i managed to track that one down#it is still on the way#the problem was it came bundled with a bunch of figures from the second series that I hadn't initially planned to buy#so now I have to hunt down the rest of the figures from the 'substance' line#they billed them as MGS2 and MGS2 Substance collections#but it's closer to tanker chapter and plant chapter#this set is the tanker chapter characters plus Raiden#the second set is plant chapter characters#just out here managing depression and disappointment with stupid purchases#and nostalgia I guess#a thing I insist I hate yet here I am buying figures from when I was in jr high

went to the second hand store after work and it looked like someone gave up their entire arrow video blu ray collection, which would have been a dream come true if it didnt look like theyd all been put thru a woodchipper and a mound of sandpaper
#ash.txt#how do you fuck up a case/box that bad???????#what are these people DOING to their disks#managed to get 2 that were in good condition tho#’the burbs’ and ‘videodrome’ so. yippeee#there was a criterion collection copy of ‘freaks’ that was basically ripped in half like. HOW.

Store managers said even a few minutes overtime will be a write up
I'm calling bullshit
#i work in a fucking deli you think im getting everything i need cleaned in exactly 2 hours?#on a slow day yes bc guess what im not helping customers til 8#but on days like today where we have a sale? and are pretty busy??? fuck no#and! itd be so much easier if we could shut things down even just slightly early (even 30 min could help)#but nooooooo#wednesday when i close imma shut down one of the slicers at like fuckin. 5. (start earlier) cause thats what slows me down#after 8 when i gotta sharpen then clean them all on top of putting food away. collecting dishes. wiping down counters and scales#wiping glass. the wing bar. the whole bird case. sweep. spray the floor. scrub it. then push all the water into drains#or idk do very quick cleanings of the slicers. SOMETHING to speed it up by 8#if i somehow do get a write up im gonna call up my union rep and see if a literal few minutes overtime to finish cleaning is fine#bc its either a few minutes overtime or some shit don't get done (like my cook today didnt get to do her floors cause she was#cooking until 7 and it takes a while to clean the fryers on top of all the other dishes. machines. counters and WALLS. and the back floors!)#my coworkers have claimed the union does jack shit and maybe thats true. or. there is a chance they just werent fucking annoying about stuff#cause like. i get it the store doesnt wanna pay overtime. then it should give enough time for us to PROPERLY do our job#otherwise itll be half-assed and people will get written up for THAT instead#and id get it if theyre annoyed if youre like. 20+ minutes overtime#but fucking 5 minutes? or even just 1 (as manager warned/threatened)???? if i do get overtime for those minutes i guarantee its barely#anything considering i get paid 15.50 an hour#anyways. im pissed off. and skipping asl tomorrow even if i risk the administrative drop#im skipping the day of that deadline but my grades are decent (a B that I can turn to an A so long as I don't miss more assignments)#so im not too worried. if my professor asks i will say i was incredibly sore (true. my arm/shoulders/back/legs/feet hate me rn)#as well as exhausted (also true. i got home at 10:30 its currently 11 and im wound up so i definitely wont be getting to sleep for a while#and i dont fancy trying to do asl on like. 5 or less hours of sleep with a sleep-and-magnesium (i forgot to take the vitamin) deprived brain#anywho hope yall have a better night 👍#amber's shit you can ignore

Would love to tell this job to go fuck itself in favour of being a park ranger but unfortunately every national park that has given me an offer is somewhere where the cost of living is so egregious that the salary doesn't even begin to cover it. Maybe I should try for park warden instead
#the thing is i dont mind this jobs duties at all#i could do it all day#its all the management and work culture bs that makes it borderline unlivable#if all i did all day was screen passengers and x ray bags it would be nothing to me#i can deal with karens i used to work retail#its all the power tripping and collective punishment and treating us like children who cant be trusted to use the washroom without asking#like 3rd graders. and then making us clock in for it to time how long it takes us to piss and come back#while at the same time saying they trust us to find bombs. like which is it. you cant have it both ways#and then everyone i work with are fucking vultures#who bully anyone different than them and act like theyre better than everyone else because theyve been here 2 months longer#literally i spend like 10% of my mental energy actually doing my job and the other 90% trying to avoid getting yelled at#often in front of everybody else passengers and coworkers#work tales

i want every pokemon card in the world and a spot in my binder for each one
#except jynx#collecting these things is all fun and games until you remember how much money these individual bitches can cost#sigh...i wish rare pokemon cards costed like five bucks at most so my desire for all of them was realistic#i have to imagine the worth of my collection isn't insubstantial#especially considering i have some of the original 150#but like 1. idgaf i just want the pictures and images#and 2. i will be keeping these forever#i have a friend that's very mad that I've managed to pull 3 full art cards recently#but i think it's happening because the cards know i am pure of heart and soul#not to say my friend ISN'T of course#i just have zero expectations or desires beyond getting art i find cool or cute#dude the second u have ANY desires whatsoever when you're pulling cards it's over#she pulled a fullart TRAINER card today and was pissed. like HOW#those damn prismatic evolutions boosters...#tbf she was also mad that i got a fullart metagross and she got a trainer she didn't gaf abt. but it's bc i have a bond with the cards u see

I just had a thought about something that could be interesting and/or fun. Not something necessarily for this year, but it's still early enough that you could still do such.
But now that we all have our teams, it would be neat if there was a story that had multiple parts that were contributed by people on the same team. I know it's not a team challenge like that, but it would be kind of interesting to see.
#you don't actually want to know all the thoughts that I have about working a collective story together#it would take so much work and coordination with other people#but at the same time could lead into such an epic if there was a team crossover story#where potentially 3-6 people (1-2 from each team each doing a different genre) managed to combine/crossover their stories in some way#but also the original thought of just two people on the same team working together to create one story#it wouldn't even have to be retelling the same scene#inklings challenge#inklings brainstorming week#inklings-challenge#inklingschallenge#inklings brainstorming session

I actually fucking hate audiobooks so much. I CANNOT listen to someone sit down and drone on down the mic in the most uninspired, bored tone imaginable that gets the cadence of the sentence wrong half the time so I lose track of what's actually being said. Where's the voice acting. Where's the beautiful accompanying background music. I grew up on BBC audio-drama CDs my standards are HIGH. Listen to the Wind in the Willows on BBC sounds and try not to cry at the bittersweetness of it all. Trust me it's got Stephen Fry and everything
#i wish audiobooks had versions with BG music and voice acting id feel so much more immersed#my favourite thing as a kid was those audiodrama CDs#wind in the willows; the naughtiest girl in school; paddington#MY DOCTOR WHO ONES READ BY MATT SMITH AND DAVID TENNANT!!!!#the david tennant one had a part 2. but i never managed to find the next CD :(#ive been left on a cliffhanger to this day wondering what happens#OH AND BEATRICE POTTER tho i didnt listen to that as much#fuckkk there's definitely more im forgetting. fantastic mr fox and george'd marvellous medicine i had too#THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA HOW COULD I FORGET I LOVEDDD THE MAGICIANS APPRETICE SO MUCH#FUCK. im gonna get a new radio and start collecting audiodrama CDs#weasel words

Turns out Sonic Adventure 1 is actually fantastic and Sonic Adventure 2 is as wonderful as I remember it to be, if not more
#finally been playing some 3d sonic#sonic Adventure 2 was my first ever exposure to the franchise when i was a kid#mari plays videogames#modding sa1 is imperative if you're playing the steam version#sa2 is a bit harder to mod but i managed#also the chao garden is good and should come back#“it stops the action” stfu sega the chao garden makes me revisit the levels over and over and i get good in the process#i enjoyed the collectables in sonadow generations but they were tied to concept art#music etc#don't ask me to look for rocket parts ever again#sonic brainrotting

my body doesn’t Hate me, per se. It just Loves being an annoying little shit
#my post#i feel a little bad about complaining about it sometimes#because it’s not like i have super serious afflictions#and we’ve gotten some handled through this or that#but. i’ve just got. such an extensive collection of#‘‘bodily things that would be fine individually albeit annoying; but i’ve got all of them so it makes for a frustrating existence’’#subacute eczema. the worst of the bunch. only on my hands but very itchy and still eczema#scapular winging or whatever they call it when you can pop out your scapulas at will.#not very bad at all. the least offensive. just aches sometimes and makes me worry#some tinnitus. a tad annoying. i hear it most when it’s quiet or i’m inside. sometimes it flares but not often. tuning it out isn’t too har#chronic rhinitis. i got some surgery(?) for this one. lotta nose sprays.#my nose is almost always congested and runny and going anywhere without tissues is dangerous.#dry lips. also not altogether that bad it’s just annoying and it gets cracked and sometimes painful to open my mouth too wide ig.#we manage that one well with whatever lip products my sister gave me. it’s not very bad#dandruff? maybe? is it dandruff or just scalp skin? i got no clue man#and you’re like. ‘‘okay you’re right those are all quite annoying. but is it really that bad?’’#and i’m like ‘‘No. but have you Considered that i have to deal with them all at Once?’’#BUT THAT. ISN’T EVEN IT. ‘CAUSE IT’D BE ONE THING IF MY BODY WAS JUST BUILT LIKE THAT. BUT MY BRAIN HATES ME TOO.#BOOM. dermatillomania!! i pick at my acne a little. under my nails. the hard skin under my nails.#my scalp! until it’s itchy and there’s a little bit of blood! i gently pull at my eyelashes a little bit and rub my eyes.#and. get this. dry and flaky bits of skin. GUESS WHERE I HAVE FLAKY BITS OF SKIN. OH THAT’S RIGHT: THE SUBACUTE ECZEMA ON MY HANDS.#it’s better now it really is but i have spent hours picking at it after i’m already all set for bed. 2-3 hrs over a trash can picking at it#‘‘yeah okay that’s bad. but-’’ BOOM. ADHD or at least fidgeting. i fidget most by picking at idk All of the aforementioned.#‘‘oof yeah that does actually suck-’’ BOOM. OCD!!! now that one is the REAL kicker that one fucking hates me#just take all of the above and assume i have some vaguely annoying compulsion tied to it.#and it wouldn’t be so annoying sometimes if it weren’t for the fact that i deal with it all every day kind of#so correction: my body doesn't necessarily hate me it’s just that my body has shaken hands made deals about which exact disorders and bodil#irritations i need to collectively make living incredibly annoying.#thank you for coming to my TED talk. cue the world’s smallest violin or whatever

Unfortunately as someone who needs to take trains in england i cannot be a dedicated máv hater and am in fact a máv defender. A máv lover, if you will. Yes in hungary trains are old shit gross unreliablr unpleasant crowded & lame. But they are old shit gross unreliable unpleasant crowded & lame for 2000 huf a journey. In the UK the trains are slightly less old but equally shit gross unrealiable unpelasant crowded & lame & it's for £50 a trip. For 2000 huf the máv ellenőr could beat me up with a stick and i'd still say thank you for your service king i love you. Also máv has a discount for people 18-25 greater than what is offered in the UK and in the UK you have to buy the railcard for £30/yr to access it too.
#dad calls me insane for this one#but that's because he's enough of an anglophile to swear alleigance to the crown for a citizenship and mean it#stars textpost#one time i bought a return to and from newcastle (im a freak southerner) & it cost £200 w/ railcard to go to an event which they cancelled#& they told me i needed to mail them my ticket to refund me. but when i went to collect my ticket it said it had alr been partially redeemed#bbygirl the train has left and im not on it what are you SMOKING#that was so much money 😭#on god it would genuinely have been cheaper to fly domestically from london to newcastle instead. unfortunately id have had to take the#train to london#huge L on that one#1 time i had to take a 3 leg journey and they fully cancelled all trains on leg 2 when my foot was half onboard the train for leg 1#wisely forseeing that this was a predicament i got a cab.#just in time to be inform that the train on leg 3 would be stopping at every station except the airport#i was going to the airport#i did manage to get that one refunded tho lmaoo

A Not-So-Great Start to a Not So Great Reign: Part 1
Sven: (on the video) You may have won this round, Triple Threat...
Sven: But the Toppat Clan will be coming for you personally! Two at a time! In even intervals!
Burt: Sir, that puts us at a tactical disadvantage.
Sven: Oh.
Sven: Well then ignore my threat, but FEAR it.
Burt: Okay, I'm hanging up the call now.
-
Inspired by Sgt Frog Abridged episode 19
The start of Sven Svensson's reign as the Toppat Chief could have gone a little better.
#fanart#thsc#the henry stickmin collection#henry stickmin#ellie rose#charles calvin#sven svensson#burt curtis#sgt frog abridged#there will be a part 2!#eventually#I've got it drawn I just need to color it#but I'll give you time to digest this one#in a world where the toppats managed to escape the triple threat#triple threat#the toppat's days are numbered with sven in charge#poor sven#he's trying so hard#burt is very supportive
