Addiction to GeoGuessr continues.
Behold the greatest achievement.
London with no movement, no panning and no zoom allowed.
We have one talent and it is the ability to know any location in Zone 1-2 London from a single photograph.
Once, recently, it spawned us in front of a wall of black painted bricks inside a building and we worked out it was (the new South Bank location of) The London Dungeon.
We love our city almost as much as we hate our country.

Grew up in a working class area of London where one of the criminals who committed the Great Train Robbery sold flowers and was like this working class hero.
He died of (alleged) suicide in 1994 and there was a huge procession where everyone in the local community gathered to pay respects.

We were 10 when it happened so don't remember much but our dad was as moved by it as when his own father died. We were likely in that crowd.
The man was famous for committing a grand crime and just being a member of the community. I dunno what lessons I was supposed to learn from that but it made it clear that among the working class, a gangster was as beloved as royalty and mourned with as much vigor.
i have developed a much more viceral understanding of why bank robbers were widely regarded as popular heroes in the 1930s

Biggest pet peeve in fics that write a remix of Jason and Bruce meeting is when they make Jason super timid and afraid of Bruce. Girl Jason did not hesitate for a second with that tire iron:

#He was bout that action. Like that’s his first slay don’t take that away from him#To me Jason hitting Bruce in their first meeting should be a universal constant idc what the situation is#those fics also leave out the Ma Gunn thing which was his second slay#Jason Todd#dc

There's nothing Lilith loves more than a good scheme.
Previous / Next
Present day Lilith, narrating: When we made our escape, we were certain we’d never lay eyes on Forgotten Hollow again. For several years, we lived large on a stolen fortune we thought would never run out. How could we have known any better? We’d never handled our own money in our lives. Of course, our naive illusions were quickly shattered. The economy tanked. The war started. We were broke and terrified of exposure. We drifted aimlessly, staying in whatever shitty little hovel we could scrounge up the pennies for. I stalked and killed and thieved to keep us going, but the well was running dry. We finally landed in Brindleton Bay, a dreary seaside town that perpetually stank of fish, where we rented an overpriced yet barely habitable room. The situation was untenable. I began to hatch a plan.
-
Lilith: Sorry I couldn’t bring more. They have a guard posted outside the blood bank now. I… subdued him then grabbed what I could. It wouldn’t be wise to go back.
Caleb: Thank you. You don’t have to-
Lilith: But I do. You won’t accept it any other way — of course, even if you did, pickings are slim lately — and I hardly want to watch you die for your morals. [sighs wearily] I’m just so goddamn tired.
We’re both tired, Caleb. The only thing I hate more than the fact that you won’t hunt is that you can’t. It makes you too vulnerable.
Caleb: [dismissively] I’m fine.
Lilith: You’re not! I’m not! [pauses meaningfully] I think it’s time we go home.
Caleb: Home? Lilith, you know we can never-
Lilith: It’s been thirty years. Not to be crass, but Mother and Father are dead and all that money is surely going to waste.
Caleb: If we show our faces in Willow Creek looking just like the day we left, we’ll be driven out by mobs with pitchforks before sunrise.
Lilith: We’ll obviously not show up as ourselves. We’ll procure fake documents — death and birth certificates, social security numbers, that sort of thing. We can pose as our own children.
Caleb: Do you not hear how preposterous that sounds? Assuming we could even get our hands on those things, no one would believe us.
Lilith: They’d be even less likely to believe we’re vampires. People don’t like things they can’t explain. If we provide an explanation to them, no matter how flimsy, they’ll gladly take it.
Caleb: There’s still too much risk.
Lilith: What risk? We could eat all of Willow Creek alive if we wanted! It’s not up for debate, Caleb. We’re the true and rightful heirs. It’s time we claim what’s ours, and no one will stand in our way.
#ts4#sims 4#ts4 story#sims 4 story#story: hzid#lilith vatore#caleb vatore#blood tw#smoking tw#it's so important that the '20s portrait is in the background#they're so proud of it but it's also a constant reminder of the excess that got them into this situation#like “hey wouldn't it be fun to commission a portrait instead of worrying about paying rent in 20 years!!!”#totally something a couple trust fund babies who've rarely been given the responsibility of actually handling money would do#(also you can barely see it but there's another painting i stuck in for a laugh#squint at the far left of the wide shot for a second#i like to think lilith grabbed it from vlad's to be petty and then immediately defaced it)#*tbw

We have a new hobby and it is baffling and impressing our girlfriend (@daja-the-hypnokitten) with our ability to guess any area of (zone 1-2) London from a single screenshot or Google Street View.
We hooked up on Discord to play Geoguesser and we're just doing victory laps. Managed to get one of the rounds to a 0 yard difference.
It spawned us inside buildings and we were within 50 yards easily.
We seem to have a talent.
She just sent me this image and asked me to guess.
My response "Looks like it's North West of Peckham"
This is so much fun and it is such a delight to share this with our love.
Perhaps one day, when the virus is no longer an active threat, we'll visit again.
I miss our city.

sabrina carpenter's shitty execution of satire is a marketing tactic to sell to as many people as possible. it's supposed to double down to sell sex to men and "feminism" to women. the reason why she didn't do something more uncomfortable to men is because they're a part of her consumer base.
sabrina isn't innocent or incompetent. she has been marketing herself as a sex symbol (like every former disney star) since her short n sweet album.
she doesn't want the reaction beabadoobee got when she dissed men so she's distracting them with (classic patriarchal) sexiness while still trying to lure in a (white liberal) feminist consumer base.
sabrina carpenter doesn't care about women. pop stars aren't real reflections of human beings, they are products.
this isn't some sort of "puritantical" craze. making yourself sexy *specifically* for the patriarchy is not empowering. it's also damaging to the women around you because it makes men think that women will take abuse and objectification.
(you know, like men choking women irl without consent because pornstars pretend to like it?)
this is also part of a worrying trend of famous women heavily degrading themselves sexually for the capitalistic patriarchy in order to sell products that has reared its depraved head recently with bonnie blue and sydney sweeney
#sir they hit the second text post#sabrina carpenter#feminism#white feminism#i've always hated sabrina carpenter because she's always been weirdly pedophilic#(i.e. juno sexualizing a 16 year old girl's pregnancy and her lolita photoshoot)#(and her constant I'M SO TINY XD bit)#(no matter how much she tries to make it seem ironic)#sex work is not work#anti sex work

I find this episode arrangement at the end of milo murphy season 1 very funny because first we learn that dakota has altered the timeline and sacrificed himself hundreds of times for cavendish and then three episodes later we learn that there is a version of the future where they broke up over an egg roll
#chatter#THEY'RE RIDICULOUS. although if i had to put my thinking cap on for a second#i'd say the weight of the argument came down to the fact that dakota keeping his sacrifices a secret created a constant tension#stemming from cavendish being constantly annoyed by dakota's ostensibly selfish behavior#and dakota then being frustrated that he gave up so much for someone who still views him as perpetually selfish#so theoretically cavendish finding the island in s2 retcons the entire christmas special timeline anyway. lmao.#pnf lb#milo murphy's law

#my art#hylics#somsnosa#this is like my third go at her i think i have a better take now. she's not as corpselike as wayne but looks pretty droopy in concept art#proooobably higher energy than him and less inclined toward constant substance abuse - but still chillin & addicted to bugs#at least in 1. second game sees her “taking a break” and getting into juice. but my somsnosa cant stop slapping bugs and power tripping#i really thought her poncho was checkered cause of the sprite texture for the longest time and was confused when i didnt see it in fanart 😭#idk if i like that idea anymore tho#clumps

how I look trying to convey how insane it makes me that fugo spent his entire life being adultified for being very smart- first by his parents, then by that teacher, then by Bruno (hear me out), and possibly even by himself. No one treats him like he's another kid like Giorno or Narancia or Trish. I would argue even the fandom perception of him doesn't treat him like a kid.
Why is he responsible for Narancia? Why doesn't he get the same backlash from Bruno when he joins the gang? Isn't he younger than Narancia, and just like him has no business entering a gang? I would argue that because of his intelligence even Bruno always saw him as capable of keeping up with the adults, and therefore did not offer the same resistance to him joining the gang. Either that, or Bruno simply needed his intelligence and didn't care that he , too, was a child who should have been protected from becoming part of a freaking gang. Neither of these options paint Bruno in an appealing light.
I don't know. I have feelings on this that I can't properly articulate. It just bothers me that people gloss over how it seems the only person who saw Fugo as the kid he was was probably Abbacchio (based on what little we saw of their dynamic in PHF and VA). Idk. Raaagh
#stop treating Fugo like an adult challenge#hes not magically mature enough to handle everything you throw at him just because he can learn faster than others#and I would argue he is very immature.#likely because he never really got time to grow up mentally he just had to Be There the second it was demanded of him#wouldn't you be insane too if the entire world thinks you are more capable than you are#and Im not saying he isn't capable of doing everything that's demanded of him#I am saying#however#that that being the constant expectation of him is in no way good for any young person trying to always do the right thing#it makes me so unhappy#idk#jjba#vento aureo#pannacotta fugo#bruno bucciarati#leone abbacchio#< mentioned#fugoposting on main#I hope this makes sense#jjba part 5#jojo's bizarre adventure#jojos part 5
