#AND WHY ARE THE KNOBS LIKE THAT

santa clarita diet joel being super specific about toaster ovens is so right.

Okay so, I like that Professor Rumpel is both Rumpelstiltskin and the miller's daughter-turned-queen, and that her weapon invokes the spindlewheel from the tale, but the guessing of the name is so utterly lazy that I could chew glass

Spoilers for Before the Dawn btw

It literally comes out of nowhere. There is no buildup to the mystery of Professor Rumpel's name; she just randomly says at the start of the fight that if Fox, Neptune, or Yatsuhashi can guess her name that she'll let them go chase the Crown

It would have been so easy, too! Just have it be Rumpel's game whenever the students want something. Late to class and don't want extra homework as punishment? Guess her name and you're free. Got caught getting handsy in an inconvenient spot? Guess her name and she'll let you off with a warning. Hell, have some of the staff lean into it for comedy and comradery

This would naturally set up why Rumpel would offer an easy out to the fight and establish how steep a demand that is for our heroes. If no one's guessed her name in the many years she's been at Shade, what hope do they have of figuring it out in the next five minutes?

But, no. We get zero setup and the payoff doesn't even land! They guess her name and Rumpel attacks Neptune anyway. Right in front of the whole school, including Headmaster Theodore! In what world does that make sense? I get that she's desperate, but it feels contrived so Yastuhashi can do his thing and accidentally break the mind control

These books honestly read like a first draft of a story that really could've been something if more time and attention had been given. Rwby in a nutshell, eh?

The thing I will never understand about any fandom in general is the amount of time people waste posting about how much they hate a thing or arguing with people over how much they hate a thing. Like… okay? I don’t go looking for posts about the shows and movies I dislike to engage with them because I like having fun and engaging in posts about - this might come as a shock - things I *do* like instead.

If the landlord doesn’t want me fishing around in their shower vent and cold air returns, then they shouldn’t make them stink like rotting garbage. You painted over the screws so they’re hard to open? Cool. I’ll drill holes into them and get them out with a power tool because the town next to me is having a citywide garage sale and I’m sure there’s some Ryobi in there at a decent price. Your vents are coming off motherfucker, and if I find anything I swear to fucking god I am going to have both your vents and your bank account cleaned out.

i hate my welding teacher and theres soo much tine between my morning hvac class and the welding class at 1:30 cuz my first class is basically like. if your group finishes with a car early and theres no other cars to look at you can just leave so my group got out like an hour and a half early so im just sitting around dreading going to welding cuz the teacher is a huge dick. i understand why hes a dick and welding is very serious and if you dont take the equipment seriously and understand what you're doing it could have major consequences. but hes an asshole about it though

generations are fake and everything but like to induldge for a moment, i suppose i would be considered on the gen z-millenial cusp, add in the fact that i grew up with an older sister and absorbed a lot of stuff through her and that we were pretty poor so didn't have consistent wifi access until 2015, there's a noticeable divide sometimes between me and my mostly comfortably gen z friends

this usually doesn't come up but having to spend 10 minutes explaining to my flatmate how to use an analogue alarm clock is truly one of the most baffling experiences of my life. she had absolutely no clue how to set it to the correct time and then set an alarm
