My two beautiful cats, and yes, they smoke weed

#For some reason I misremembered Pounce de Leon as being the size of a moose and they're fully not? They're like. Cougar sized at most #cougar as in mountain lion not the other one #my friends moved into a new apartment like a month ago and they've just decided to leave their cat tree in the middle of the living room #it kinda blocks the tv but its fine. they have cute cats #nepeta leijon #day 17 #I have no idea if I'm on the right day but I'm too tired to go back and check #furfty days of nepurrta #my art #hs #homestuck

There’s not enough discourse in the paranormal fandom about those of us who are such space cases that we could walk into the kitchen and find all the chairs stacked on top of the table in a manner that defies physics and either a) not notice, or b) notice and think, huh, I don’t remember doing that - maybe it was the cat?

#that poll reminded me of this #like good luck trying to haunt me with strange noises and shadows and so on #a shadow person could do the Macarena in my living room at 3am and it would just #blend into the background noise of golden girls on the tv #I have long wanted to write a story where a person lives in a haunted house #but they are adhd and also middle aged and tired #so they don’t notice the haunting #and the ghost who had been haunting this place for like hundreds of years #just does not know how to deal with this so they get really invested in the haunting #and the paranormal activity just steadily escalates to the point of absurdity #the main character will walk into a room and see shit like #‘get out!!’ scribbled on the walls in blood and be like #‘… uh. the fuck?’#and the ghost will be like ‘FINALLY JESUS CHRIST IVE BEEN TRYING TO GET YOUR ATTENTION FOR A YEAR AND A HALF’#and the narrator will be like ‘…. so are you gonna clean this or? bc I’m not losing my security deposit’#and the ghost is like ‘oh yeah sorry about that - the economy amirite?’#and the narrator is like ‘you have no idea’ and the ghost is like ‘yeah I do I’ve seen how you live’#anyway #this has been a quality post #paranormal #the Charlotte Lennox diaries #adhd artichoke

//ableism mention tw

ok just gonna say something really quick: i absolutely hate Abe's characterisation in the reboot of Clone High because it is nothing like how he acted in season 1 and it just. isn't funny. they've turned this good-intentioned but flawed loser kid who just wants to be like the original Abraham Lincoln but doesn't know how to, into a self-centered and arrogant asshole who literally almost said a horrible ableist slur twice in the first episode. like. i'm being serious, he almost says the R-slur twice in the same minute and i dunno about you but i really don't find it very funny when a) the only "joke" behind it is "oh look at how bad Abe is compared to the more progressive sensitivities of the new generation of clones, isn't he just terrible", and b) they felt the need to completely rewrite a pre-existing character that fans are already attached to to do something against his own morals for the sake of a shitty joke, and c) TOPHER WAS RIGHT THERE!!! isn't he supposed to be the asshole or am i missing something?? like...

i'm not saying you can't have "edgy" or "dark" comedy or whatever, but personally, i don't find it very funny when a character that actually means quite a lot to me and is one of my favourites is twisted and rewritten into an arrogant asshole in an apparent attempt to appeal to the people who hate Abe for his flaws in the original show. especially when he's rewritten to be someone who would say a slur that's literally been used against my fellow disabled peers, myself included. it just feels... wrong. it actually hurts a lot to see a character i once loved and found to be one of the funniest and most important characters in the show be turned into an arrogant dick, with barely any thought or meaning put into him. i don't like what they did with the rest of the OG cast as well (such as Joan making a complete 180 in her entire character, JFK's character assassination, the removal of Gandhi, Cleo barely being in it etc.), but to me, they did Abe the dirtiest in this season and i'm really disappointed that one of my favourite shows had to continue like this :(

#clone high #abe lincoln #rant #sorry this post is a little heavier than what i usually post on here but i just felt like i really needed to say this #abe from clone high is actually quite an important character to me and i'm still upset that he's been written so poorly in season 2 #like he's a silly parody of a teen drama protag but honestly i think his struggles in the original series are actually really meaningful #like he's a little shy and doesn't exactly know how to express his ideas in the best way but wants to help and i just think that's so real #especially as someone who struggles with that myself #he has so much pressure to live up to the OG abraham lincoln and he really wants to be like him and tries but doesn't get it #i mean he even says something like that in episode 2 when joan and gandhi come to see him in his room and that's really relatable #so to see him so horribly misinterpreted as a selfish asshole really hurts me.#they've essentially done the thing where a fandom will tear apart the neurodivergent coded character #and write them off as selfish and arrogant and completely misinterpret everything about them #not saying that Abe is written to be neurodivergent but you get my point #it's kinda like that #he's relatable to me as an autistic person and a lot of his struggles are similar to what the autistic community experiences #also i'm sad that gandhi had to get removed because he's important to me too #he's actually one of my favourite ADHD reps on tv i've seen and he's just really funny #i know he was removed because people in India got offended and they probably don't wanna cause another incident like that again #but still it's such a shame he couldn't be included because he was a great character #also slightly unrelated but i think turning characters into a moral debate it stupid and often results in stuff like this happening #ableism mention #tw ableism mention

Me normally: Let people love what they love

Me, after a Test Match Special commentator expresses their belief that the new All Creatures Great and Small is somehow "better" than the 1978 version: This is pure insanity and TMS can no longer be trusted on anything, how can they even be trusted to know about cricket, do they have no TASTE

#Look it's fine that this show exists and people will watch it and like it and that's ok maybe it's just not for me #But that was like a statement purely designed to piss me off #There were lots of issues with the 1978 adaptation! I still vastly preferred the books any day!#And I actually initially had high hopes for the new one because they at least cast a Scot (albeit a Highlander not a Clydesider) as James #And the actors at least looked a little bit younger than Christopher Timothy and Robert Hardy #And thank god Helen actually sounds like she's a farmer's daughter and doesn't speak RP!#But from the half hour I've seen of it I've had to write off this new adaptation #For two major reasons #First of all there's Siegfried #Siegfried is one of the key central aspects of the vibe of the books and therefore key to any adaptation #Robert Hardy was too short and too old for the part but he lived and breathed the character #The twinkle in the eye bouncing off the walls and in and out of rooms followed by half a dozen dogs utterly full of life even when angry #But this new Siegfried is just sort of... Eeyore-esque; he comes into a room and you can see the flowers droop and the set turn grey #Siegfried was angry Siegfried was happy and the historical character he was based on was no stranger to melancholy #Since Donald Sinclair did commit suicide or rather self-euthanasia after Alf Wight and his own wife Audrey died #But this slow grumbly figure in the new adaptation is not Siegfried Farnon- the book character didn't grumble more often he exploded #And why did the adaptation give him a dead wife that's so weird? What could that possibly add to the source material?#And this brings me onto my second problem which is to do with women and age #Firstly I have no idea why they aged down Mrs Hall or at least made her look younger than a woman her age would have back then #But what really drove me mad was when Heriot goes out to see some old woman hill farmer in the episode I saw #And this woman is far too clean and young-looking and you can see that she's wearing 'natural' look make-up #And a perfect set of clothes that looked like they were straight out of the House of Bruar autumn collection catalogue #Say what you like about the 1978 adaptation but old women looked like old women regardless of whether or not they wore make-up #It may be that the better quality of television screens means that the 'natural look' shows up on screen more clearly than it would have #But natural look make-up was not really a thing in the 1930s and for old women Yorkshire hill farmers I doubt they'd have much on at all #They just don't seem to be capable of allowing people to look old and wrinkled and real or have bad teeth or unattractive clothes #And everything is far too tidy- everybody looks far too perfectly country and quaint #Anyway the moral of this story is of course that I always recommend reading the books because they're much better #than any tv adaptation; but if forced to choose at least the 1970s one felt real and yet didn't have to be grim either #Ok that's my rant over please do feel free to enjoy the show I just got annoyed because the opinion was expressed on TMS

Thought that is gnawing gently on my brain right now: there a star wars equivalent to the zone of death?

like. on the one hand, every planet seems to kind of have their own laws but also share laws with every other planet in their...whatever the fuck you call a conglomeration of planets that is mostly functionally akin to a county and/or group of nations at best, with every planet part of it as like, a state/member country. Coruscant and Alderaan seem to have differing laws in some ways, and they're both core republic planets - surely the difference in norms gets even wilder between like, Alderaan and Mon Cala.

So: there has to be a place where the planetary boundaries/whatever overlap weird, and sure you have to have a local judge to decide a trial under, say, republic law, but the judge has to be a valid judge as under local laws, and one system says judges can only be Judgement Droids and the other system says trials are invalid if a droid even so much as touches the evidence.

or like, there's a moon that orbits a planet, and six months of the year, the planet is within republic space -- and the moon falls under republic law -- and three months of the year it's in, say, wild space -- so it's just the planetary laws that apply -- and for two weeks at whatever time of the year the planetary orbit brings the moon -- but not the planet -- into like. hutt space. whatever, in which case..the planetary laws don't apply? hutt laws do?? hutt laws and the planetary laws (and by extension republic laws) apply???

On the other hand. Surely the zone of death is less an issue, given how much the gffa legal system seems to run on 'it's not illegal if you don't get caught' at like, a societal level.

On the third hand, gffa version of this song when??

#star wars #star wars meta #star wars meta... kinda.#coats originals #coats chats #like obviously the legal system in the gffa is uhhhhh fuckin questionable?#weird as shit??#genuinely have zero idea how you square that particular circle;#how do you even create laws to apply to both a species that lives for 3 years and a species that lives for three centuries #let alone like #anything more nuanced.#look sometimes I think about how age related restrictions in the gffa have to work if they exist at all #and then I have to go take a nap in a dark room #also as ever: not a lawyer don't even play one on TV #do have a greater than average understanding of criminal law as applicable in one (1) australian state #which is not the state I am currently living in.

why are you always up during the darkest hours of eve

what are you doing at seeing me post at 2 am island

#talk tag #ask tag #i actually have no idea what timezone you're in but real answer is like #it's the only time i can sit in the main rooms of my house without seinfeld or the tv in general playing very loudly #i can think about characters in the living room slash kitchen table in PEACE. and QUIET.#i cant really set up my tablet in my room so its the only way i can use it comfortably #without feeling like that one scene in the matilda movie where theyre making her watch its time to get STICKY with MICKEY #and only time where i can have any alone time tm

sometimes I miss watching tv with you

#tw vent #tw csa mention #tw csa implied #i miss how you would lay in my bed with me when I was little #and we would watch the old tv I had up in my room #and watch things like river monsters and stuff #and always look forward to shark week #before I was scared of you standing behind me #before I was scared of your hugs and forced to take them anyway #before the idea of laying down with or even sharing the couch with you was triggering #i still live with you #i still love you #but even so #i miss my dad. I mean not really but there aren’t really any other words for it #for what it’s worth I really do miss watching tv with you
