#Random Timbit

[timbrrwolfe]

I really did swear to never have a Macbook again even before I stopped using my previous Macbook. And yet here I am, about to come into possession of a Macbook again.

In fairness to past!me, the main source of consternation for me was that I had to replace the /hundred dollar/ charging cable several times (and would've had to replace it more except I just wrapped it in several feet of electric tape the last time and used it like that for ages) because it would like crumble and disintegrate. And it was only much more recently that I was talking about that and someone mentioned it sounded like there was some issue of improper voltage something or other. Which would make sense given that that Macbook had plenty of issues after I accidentally dumped a mug of hot chocolate on it.

Also I accidentally dumped a mug of hot chocolate on it. And it did die for a while. But then a few months later I did randomly decide to plug it in and it slowly came back to life after that. A clumsy, shambling half-life, but life nonetheless.

And even after that it lasted me something like a decade. Before I finally retired it for good because I got a better laptop to replace it. Well, maybe not "better" so much as "snappier." Which was, in fairness, a low bar to clear by that point considering the Macbook was stuttering trying to play 720p30 videos on youtube.

So yeah hopefully I can avoid spilling a whole sugary drink on this one this time and it can be a smoother decade of use. Especially since I've got a Steam Deck to handle most of my gaming endeavors. So the Macbook can be more of a daily driver, productivity focused device. With some media consumption and whatnot. Which is kind of a lot of horsepower for that kind of thing but I wanted build quality and battery life and Apple devices tend to do well in those arenas. Plus what I actually got was the M2 Macbook Air, and with no fans that means it's not super cut out to do really intensive work anyway, especially for a prolonged period. So it's just as well.

Hopefully it'll be useful for getting back into writing and seeing where that takes me.

it's funny to me that whenever foreign people visit canada everybody is like "omg you have to try tim hortons!!!!" because it's the closest thing we have to an actual culture. but it's literally just like Food and coffee that ppl r gonna have anyway. it's like if whenever you went to america they were all like omg you HAVE to try a mcdonalds hamburger it's a cultural staple. like Yeah I guess but is that something to be proud of?? there are other things. we have forests etc

titronto recap!! spoilers below the cut !!

before I get into I just want send the biggest good vibes to all of the Americans out there, and also everyone else feeling really discouraged about the election. ily, take care of yourselves <3

- we all did the hot to go dance together during the pre show playlist

- everyone dressed so to theme it was so crazy seeing the streets of toronto filled up with phannies it was lovely

- dan started the show by saying he was glad they were in Canada instead of America that night :,))

- phil said he was gonna be extra annoying bc he had 3 birthday cake flavoured timbits before the show

- someone threw a trans flag down from a balcony at one point it was so good

- phil accidentally slipped up and called us “phersons” at one point and they both laughed about it. we are phersons thank you 🫶

- our random talking point was “moose” but the boys weren’t sure if we actually said “goose” so the topic was “meese”

- lawyer dan wrote erotica about tim bits. at some point whoever was typing backstage changed that answer to “phim phits”

- when giving the traits of real Phil, the audience was obviously made up of Phillies and we were just clapping for him until the card that said “loves capitalism” and then it went a little silent and people started doing this 👎👎 and dan was like. “we got him boys. we got him”

- we ended up killing real dan and linguist phil

- dan verbally called out someone videoing or taking photos with their phone fhsj

- idk if he does this every show but dan said “I’m just a girl’ at one point and me and my friend went crazy

- while they were boxing and doing their trash talk and dan was like “scared?” And phil said “just scared of my life without you after I kill you” Iris and I were both like. 🫢🫢 so what do you mean by that

- stage manager cleaning up the boxing while they monologue. hey 🫶🫶 you are my hero 🫶🫶

general thoughts!!! phil is so beautiful. He is so so beautiful. every time he looked up at us me and Iris felt a little faint. dan and is also gorgeous oh my god. he’s also so kinetic and he moves around doing weird poses the whole time

their chemistry is so good!! like the comedic timing and the way they play off each other. all of it sounded very natural, I couldn’t really tell what was improv or scripted for a lot of the show

when sister daniel came out iris and i lost capability to speak. like wdym. she is so beautiful in person

@aterribleinfluence + Hayley @sisterdaniels @kettle-on it was so so nice meeting you!! and it was great handing bracelets out to people that was so cute. mwah mwah mwah

[timbit-robin-art]

good sir and master of goobers can we get the official top ten timbit robin comic book headcanons (not clickbait) (gone wrong) (shocking)

Baha, I sure hope this isn’t a “gone wrong” ask. That would be terrible. I’m also not sure how I would rank these, so they’re in no particular order. Sorry if I misunderstood the ask.

Some of these might not make sense to you guys, and that’s okay. You can probably tell I’m heavily projecting with a lot of these. If I have a problem, so do my favorite characters. It’s our problem now, fellas.

Tim Drake has the flavor of autism that makes him like rhythm games. When it’s a slow night at the cave, he’ll sometimes play a couple of songs with the sound off (and all Bruce can hear is the aggressive tapping of Tim’s thumbs; he is very confused).

Gambit isn’t a huge fan of dogs. I can see him being chased or bit by one or when he was younger, making him wary of them ever since. He also just doesn’t like how high energy they are. Or the oils their coats have (hint of autistic Gambit?).

Dick Grayson is very good at spotting neurodivergent people. I love headcanons like autistic Bruce and Wally with ADHD, so Dick hanging around them gifted him the Neurodivergent Radar(TM). He definitely knew Tim was autistic the moment they met. I’d also like to think Kori has some autistic and ADHD characteristics (as in if she was an earthling, she would 100% be diagnosed with autism/ADHD), so it’s funny to think that Dick is surrounded by autism and ADHD on all sides.

Bucky Barnes has SM (selective mutism). People used to give him grief for it when he was younger, but now that he’s the Winter Soldier, he gets away with it easier. Many people think it’s just a quirk he has post-conditioning.

Louis Lane is dyslexic (this is actually inspired by every time she’s misspelt something in her articles). I don’t think she would be diagnosed, but everyone around her 100% knows. Clark and Jimmy have been trying to find nice ways to bring it up to her.

You’ve heard of autistic Scott Summers, now get ready for ADHD Jean Grey. I’d like to think being a telepath is already a very ADHD thing to be, but Jean definitely had it before her mutation began to show. This made her telekinesis a nightmare to train, and even to this day, she’ll accidentally pick up random objects and have them float behind her while she’s trying to complete tasks around the Institute.

Jaime Reyes fidgets with everything. He has a habit of accidentally touching things without asking permission, and everyone around him has learned to watch Jaime very carefully when they’re dealing with things that shouldn’t be touched. Tim has been startled on many occasions by Jaime fiddling with his cape. But Tim has learned to adjust to it, as long as Jaime doesn’t tug or anything. Edward gave him his very first fidget cube.

Storm’s major hyper-fixation is plants. She knows everything about botany and has to keep her excitement contained whenever someone asks a plant-related question. I think people like Jean and Gambit have picked up on this, so they decide to prompt some botany discussions with her because they like how happy she looks when she subconsciously unmasks to talk about plants.

Hal Jordan can’t sit through meetings at all. Everyone initially thought he was trying to be difficult on purpose (it especially annoyed Bruce), but when Barry (someone who also has trouble with meetings) admits he has ADHD, they all kind of connected the dots with Hal. I don’t see him having it nearly as bad as Barry or Kyle, but it’s definitely there.

Peter Parker likes film cameras with the film advance lever. He likes the clicks and how the tension feels when he cranks it back. And then the click of the shutter button is a nice bonus. It’s like a fidget toy to him. He’s kind of worried he’ll one day break a camera from how often he does it, but he still catches himself doing it a lot.

So… yeah. 10 Timbit Robin headcanons for you. I’m sorry these all turned out with some sort of autism or ADHD thing, that’s just how I connect with characters. My headcanons are always either “this character listens to (band)” or “this character has (insert problem here).” I hope someone out there can see my vision.

[reallytimhortons]

would you be willing to participate in a trade? (i give you cool and random shit and you give me one coffee and timbits)

@totally-official-goodwill (< a tim hortons fan)

Ye gib cool shit I have a coffee and timbits right here

[trulybetty]

My random question is— what is your favorite Tim Hortons treat? Where I live in the states, they have taken away all the good things 😞 it may or may not be one of the reasons I’m planning a Canadian road trip for next summer lol

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ooo, good question!

That sucks - I know there was a big push to bring Tims down to the States, then for them to take away the good stuff, not a good look Tim.

They've changed a lot of stuff over the years I've been in Canada, but I'm a sucker for their steeped tea still. I'm surprised their cold brew is pretty good and I will never say no to sour cream glazed doughnut - or any Timbits 🙌

Canadian road trip in the summer? That sounds like so much fun! I've been here so long and there's still so much I want to see! It's very easy for me to forget out big Canada is 😝

[marrymepickering]

random but im gonna cry because I want timmies... but why are there none even near pittsburgh. when I go home from Thanksgiving, the first thing I'm getting is timbits

[instinct-wild-dc-irl]

@timbits-drake

@imbatman-imtired

@grayson-on-the-chandelier

Idk randomness called.

What do you think of Tim's biological parents who committed child neglect.

1/10

the one rating is cause they made Tim. w/out them Tim wouldn't be alive. so i'll give them that single point.

[timbrrwolfe]

Love to recline in my chair slightly and realize that my laptop's starting to bulge up and that my timetable of retiring it went from "Eh, the problems it has are annoying but I can work around them, I'll get to it eventually" to "Ok well I don't want to deal with any fires so I guess that's good night nurse."

And it's almost funny because just a day or two ago I was considering if it would be worth it to rock a tablet in the daily driver role instead of a laptop (which could be a desktop computer instead but the way my room is laid out really isn't conducive to that, which is why my Steam Deck hooked up to the tv isn't the permanent solution, though it is an excellent stopgap). But I've used a Chromebook before and in some ways a tablet would be even more limited than /that/, and even a Chromebook I'd have to think long and hard before going back to.

Like I even still have my old Chromebook (though it too is showing its age) that I could flip Linux onto and probably replace the battery on and maybe even upgrade the storage (maybe? I'd have to look into if that's at all feasible) but there's a reason I haven't actually sat down to do that despite threatening it for years (namely, [extremely Scott Pilgrim voice] it's haaaaaaaard. Or maybe it's less that it's hard and more that I'm just very inexperienced and worried I'm gonna h*ck something up.)

I've been pondering getting an older M1 or M2 Macbook Air for the solid battery life and build quality (this time I would promise to be very careful and not pour an almost full mug of hot chocolate on it) but even one that's older like that is still 'spensive. And a Mac Mini of that ilk /would/ be a solid option but then we run into the same situation where a desktop is not the play for my current situation.

You'd think it'd be /easier/ to find a laptop to work with since I'm not looking for anything particularly powerful. AND YET.

[donuts4evry1]

music is like a TV episode where one of the main characters lose their memory-

like

One moment I’ll be playing this song I’ve known for years and then the next I straight up forget how to play ONE small part. and then to restore the memory I have to either bonk my head or uh. Look at the sheet music again.

Canada + Peter Parker

You take Peter to Canada for the first time....

he would be shocked by the amount of trees

non-stop talking about how fresh the air smells

cold, but he would like that?

he definitely wouldn't understand that while it gets VERY cold it also gets VERY hot

he would be obsessed with poutine, he would try all sorts of different flavours but still prefer the original

he would complain about poutine in the states for sure

he would probably be surprised that a good chunk of stereotypes are true

he would lose his shit over the size of a moose

he would try to pet a goose

multiple times

"maybe this one is nice!"

he would try iced tea and gag, but then go on a sugar high and fall in love with it

Tim's

he would get one of the lemonades every day and at least 20 timbits

sour cream is superior

flannel

man would go home with 25 new flannels

take him to the dollarstore

he'd fly a suitcase of stupid canada trinkets home for everyone

"why does ti feel so flat?"

"you guys really like cowboy hats"

"look, a cow!"

"another cow!"

"oh more cows!"

KETCHUP CHIPS

Coffee Crisp?

Smarties?

who needs to eat when you can try all the fun snacks

"can we come here in the winter?"

"what do you celebrate on the 4th of July?"

he would by a random hockey jersey

just for fun

"this is different in america"

"i like Canada!"

[randonauticrap]

I just drafted a whole thing for you about Tim Hortons when the app decided to just…reset all of a sudden. This won’t be as eloquent but it’s the same gist;

Tim’s is a relatively inexpensive coffee/breakfast food option. Timbits are my fave, especially the birthday cake and sour cream glazed flavors hehe. The coffee isn’t great, the toasted bagels always have too much or too little cream cheese or butter, and they sponsor a lot of youth hockey leagues. I personally like it when I’m on the road!! Nothing is really better than trying out a bunch of random things that they’ve rolled out to try and stay cool.

But I’m still a Starbucks girlie through and through sgsjzhsijz 😝

Ohhh I have heard of Tim Hortons! We don't have it where I am so I've never been, but I'd never heard it shortened to "Tim's" before. Lol

Sour cream glazed flavor?! Birthday cake? Girl you're making me hungry. I do appreciate the full honesty with the coffee, cause if I ever do get to try it, I don't want to be disappointed with bad coffee. Lol Bad coffee makes me sad.

It feels like one of those wannabe gas station restaurants from your description. 😂 And I don't mean the actual good ones that are nice inside, I mean the ones that plop a dinky lil restaurant inside the front door off to the left where you can get half a ham and cheese sandwich with one thin slice of ham for like $1.59 with tax, but the chips and popcorn are fire. 🤣🤣

[timbrrwolfe]

This post made me realize that I don't actually remember how I learned magic. Like. I remember learning that it was a thing and somehow got in touch with someone who was taking the same class as me at a higher level in high school, and he gave me a taste to see if I wanted to get more into it. But at the time I didn't because I was too socially anxious (among other things) to be willing to hang out with him and his group after school. It wasn't until years later that I ended up digging into it more on my own. But I forget the actual mechanism for learning I used during that process. Whether it was through the rulebook or something else. It certainly wasn't by mingling with other people, since I didn't actually do that until I went to Arena, at which point I already understood the basics.

I think it's hilarious that hands down the worst way to learn magic is the actual rulebook. Please do not read that. It's just there for reference when something weird happens

Alfred F Jones -> Tumbleweed Destroyer

Hi 👋 you can call me Nether, Netherzon, or some variation thereof

This blog is for hetalia things: random thoughts & headcanons, historical stuff, shitposts, other people’s art, fanfiction (other’s and mine)

~(detailed ramblings under the cut)~

The romantic stuff I write is mostly Gerame centric rn, but I’ve dabbled in some silly NA bro stuff too

Irreverent humor is still my dominant character trait though, so please don’t take me too seriously

I put SFW and NSFW stuff on this blog

Fic Masterlist:

Apfelkuchen or Apple Pie America/Germany, Finished

Germany refers to Apfelkuchen as 'apple pie' at a G8 meeting. America is outraged, and makes it his new mission to show Germany how wrong he is. Pie-fueled nonsense ensues, but maybe there's something more there too?

I Will Reign King at Sea, America/Germany, Unfinished

After an unexpected drunken night, Ludwig and Gilbert end up "employed" on a trans-Atlantic merchant ship. When the best way of getting home seems to be piracy, Ludwig soon finds himself doing things he'd never imagined himself doing before. Pulled into treacherous games, family drama, and the whims of their captain, by the time the chance to leave presents itself, will Ludwig still want to?

The Time's Always Right to Fix What's Wrong, America/Germany, Unfinished

After losing his last close friend, Ludwig decides he’s lived through enough deaths. He knows who his soulmate is and he knows where to find him. The only reason he’s lived this long is every time Alfred sees him, he runs away, too attached to the thought of immortality. All Alfred has to do is avoid falling in love with Ludwig, and he’ll be young forever. All Ludwig has to do is get Alfred to fall in love with him…and find it in his heart to love Alfred back after everything.

Geburtstag, American Style! America/Germany, Finished

Its Ludwig's birthday, and Alfred tries really hard to get him a gift he'll like. He's just easily discouraged, doesn't know how to dream small, and is a perfectionist at the worst possible times. This leads him to seek the help of a trusted baking show host rather than lean on his brother. Things get out of hand, people say things they don't mean, but that's how it goes sometimes. They will learn how to come back from that.

Don't Ask (Cake), Nyo!America/Nyo!Germany, Finished

Amelia and Monika can both be very stubborn. Once they’ve decided something, it can be hard to change their mind. On this day, they will settle the ultimate debate: is zucchini bread ‘bread’? Also, can you make chocolate cake with sauerkraut?

Bear Jail, Gen, Unfinished

Exactly what it sounds like. Kuma gets put in Polar Bear Jail.

I Know You Don't Like Me, But... America/Germany, Finished

Ludwig can be a little mean sometimes, but they'll work it out in the end

One Time I Dreamt That I Gave My Organs Away America/Germany, Finished

Alfred and Ludwig are both a little macabre. Their humor is dark, their affection is dark, their interests are dark. So basically they’re perfect for each other. They just don't know that yet.

Hetaween Incubus Snippet America/Germany, Unfinished

The snippet is finished but the idea is not: One night, Alfred is visited in his dreams by an Incubus. Or at least that's what the guy says he is. He doesn't look like Alfred's idea of an incubus when he dresses like a modest high school English teacher, and talks like he's making a "put you to sleep" ASMR video. But perhaps there is a method to Ludwig's madness?

Nadezdha, Canada/Russia, Finished

Secret santa gift! Russia takes a vacation to the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, where he meets an old friend and makes a new one.

Glitter Bomb Gen, Unfinished

Alfred F Jones receives a glitter bomb in the mail and goes nuts with his newly acquired glitter power at the world meeting that day. His brother, Matthew Williams, is dragged along with him.

Timbits Disappearing Act Gen, Finished

Canada uses his invisibility to eat donuts at the world meeting, America takes the fall for it

Fichi secchi Gen, Finished

Felicia visits Romano in America. She tries to bring a bit of home with her, but that plan goes sideways. They make it work anyway.

In Which Eliza's Ships Sink, and Everyone Agrees its for the Best America/Japan and Canada/Netherlands, Unfinished

Abel is in love with Matthew Kiku is in love with Alfred Eliza is convinced they should be in love with each other

Hetalia World Spoons Gen, Unfinished

In Hetalia: the Beautiful World episode 2 Germany broke a spoon to get an interview with the magic club. In Hetalia World Stars episode 2 America breaks several spoons during a meeting and Germany reprimands him. This is an alternate series of events for that episode where America finds out Germany can also break spoons. Chaos ensues.
