my mum keeps responding to my covid precautions with “i get it, you’re not ready yet”. like no i just don’t do them anymore. i don’t really need to eat at restaurants or go to crowded places or be in public without an n95. i can watch the movie at home. i can get take out. an n95 is just uncomfortable sometimes but doesn’t stop me from doing anything. i love not getting sick
#SOOOOOO glad i moved out#‘your sibling and i are going out to eat’ have fun! i actually have no desire to do that whatsoever#also both of them have brought covid home and I’ve clocked it every time#my mum’s was after a trip after i moved out where she didn’t wear a mask once (not even at the airport) and then spent the trip texting me#about how the rich food was giving her some stomach trouble and the jet lag was just hitting her so hard#clocked that asap. i think she gave it to everyone else too and then tested after someone else tested positive and got her positive#my sibling was when i was still at home though and they just came downstairs and sat next to me coughing and i have never moved so fast#consistently tested negative so I don’t think they gave it to me but they protested possibly having it until I made my mum test them#and lo and behold I was right! I got pcr tested by urgent care and was negative#i didn’t get the chance to be cautious from the beginning because I was a minor when covid started#but i’m now an adult and moved out and keep all my precautions and tbh I love it#i’m a college student and the only sickness I’ve ever dealt with was an ear infection from a piercing. that’s it#‘don’t you want to embrace your young adult years’ i have two cats and hobbies and love being at home im fine#I don’t want to party or go out or do much of that#coronavirus

HAS ANYONE NOTICED THIS????

(FROM THE FIRST EVER DESTIEL FIC ON AO3)

(15x18)
this is a very common phrase and i’m 99% sure it was a coincidence and nothing more BUT, if i may clown as i am fully aware of how foolish i may look,

it’s like the fanfic writing tip to take a quote from canon and put it in a completely different context to make it more meaningful, except in reverse.
and dean really was the most selfless, loving human being cas had ever known. poetic cinema.
this is not the first ever destiel fanfiction to be posted on the internet, but what an incredible way of saying that destiel would not have made it that far to becoming canon without the fandom surrounding it.
by the way, the fic ends with dean and cas going to a roadhouse in heaven. do with that what you will.
#dean winchester#castiel#supernatural#destiel#text#IM LOSING ITTTT#SOMEONE CONTACT BERENS#I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT THE FIRST FEW DESTIEL FICS ON AO3 WERE#LO AND BEHOLD THE ABO FIC POSTED ON SEPTEMBER 18TH 2008 HAS A LINE EERILY SIMILAR TO ONE UTTERED BY CASTIEL IN DESPAIR#THIS IS FUCKING HISTORY#THAT LINE HAS ALWAYS BEEN BEAUTIFUL IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE#AND THEY GOT MARRIED IN A ROADHOUSE. THE FIC ENDS WITH THEM GOING TO A ROADHOUSE. TH-#if this was intentional that is such a sweet little nod to the history of this ship i love that#the fic came true like a birthday wish#fanon is canon#15x18#spn

once again out here at 4am baffled and amazed by simcity 3000's ability to trick you to, in search of optimization, end up mimicking actual infrastructure patterns. particularly the ones they don't fucking explain in-game or even in the official guides. like. due to a combination of factors that i cannot even begin to pick apart much less imagine how to code on purpose, subways end up functioning optimally when laid out in local loops rather than in one big interconnected grid. but you *can* make a grid. you can treat subway tunnels like roads with intersections every which way and it works decently enough. it doesn't stop you or give you any direct reason to try another pattern. it doesn't say "hey that's not how subways work dumbass" and it doesn't Detect Absence Of Defined Loop and turn a dial labeled "Make Subways Worse." it just quietly back-end codes every transportation system wildly differently in a way that results in the "realistic" setup nearly always being the most reliable for each one. and that's insane. that's not how most games work anymore! not even more recent simulation games! it's wild to me that someone playing simcity to make Art and someone playing simcity to Be Good At SimCity will eventually end up with the same fucking designs. okay alright i'm going to bed but. what the hell
#was having subway troubles#for the first time. but it was also the first time i was relying somewhat heavily on it#and i *knew* there was a pattern happening regarding which areas were causing issues but i couldn't quite grasp it#consulted The Ancient Texts (archived forum posts circa 2004) and saw a few references to making loops#assumed it was a product of the more art-focused people than the gameplay-focused people but i figured i'd give it a shot#and lo and fucking behold.#spent the next hour trying to figure out all the mechanics behind it and half-succeeded at best#what a game. they truly don't make them like that anymore#simcity

Holy shit I've reached the level of knowing when the artist of a depiction of a lesbian couple IS female BUT not actively sapphic/experienced with women and is instead drawing on the male gaze influence of depicting sapphic women
#text#like I just KNEW#and lo and behold it's a straight girl whose other art consist of yaoi couples

I had the absolute displeasure of walking into a bookshop where they had both the translations from that one anglosaxon person of odyssey and iliad and I had the horrid idea of checking out page one of both and not counting that the complicated man from the odyssey is still absolutely indecent to even see on paper... I glanced at the iliad's opening and while I'd need to check more in depth to see if she made another glaring mistake at line two or if it's me remembering wrong how you take the og word.....
i am wholly not surprised that in the og text agamemnon is referred to as atreius' son and in every translation I read of that text ever he was referred to as such and ofc she just went and said agamemnon because ig everyone who picks that book up is too ignorant to know the backstory huh /s
#it's amazing that this woman manages to do the TWO things that piss me off more#when it comes to translating text or writing text#a) not stick with the actual meaning of the og word you're conveying#b) treating your audience like they're idiots#lo and behold#there's a reason why achilles' dad is mentioned in the beginning yknow but whatever#since there's the name we can keep that#but since there ISN'T agamemnon in the rest let's just add it because god forbid our readers KNOW that#ik it sounds nitpicky but idc that shit matters#anyway other fun thing i read a page and she's trying so hard to sound modern#it doesn't even feel like poetry#i'm glad calzecchi onesti died in 2011 so she couldn't witness this nonsense#hello i swear the second i'm done with a work thing i'll be back as normal

stumbles through the door. coughs. i just got out of a sudden burst of nintendogs related hyperfixated haze and my wallet is a little bit lighter now. what happened. ..
#text post#i was gonna draw some lil liek. nintendogs based ocs and use the sprites as inspo#so i went on spriters resorce and the the wiki to grab images. then looked on the wiki merch pages and went “oh i bet these are online”#lo and behold i am now going to be the proud owner of some old stuff. BUT NOT *bangs hands on table* A CERTAIN SOMETHING I RLY RLY WANTED#unless vivi can buy it for me with his awesome USA living swag ^_^ smiles so sweetly at him from the uk#pls fuel my hyperfixation bestie. im begging you ive never wanted something more than this.#anyway i bought nintendogs ds games with the stickers from the nintendo online code coupons INSIDE AND IN ALMOST PERFECT CONDITION#from CEX of all places earlier today after work which is what spurred on this sudden mania.#i about freaked it. why are they still in there. how are they still in there. theyre so olds#one box didnt have the game since theyd already sold it but it was fine cuz the darling lady gave me the box FREE...#STICKER N ALL............... the lottery

It's one thing to ask someone to replace items due to a mistake, it's another to make someone replace an expensive item that was less than a third full at its full value.
#for context I accidentally left the refrigerator open at a friend's house#and her husband has a huge bacteria phobia so he won't eat anything if it's not properly stored past four hours#I left the fridge open at 1 am and he got up at 6 am. So. Five hours.#(Keep in the mind the dude eats medium rare meat too lmao) (and also the fridge was open by like an inch)#so i was embarrassed and I'm like yeah anything that needs to be replaced ill be pay for it it's on me#well one of these things was this ridiculously expensive little bottle of omega 3 oil#And when my friend went to dump it in the sink it wasn't even half full... like a third if THAT#But as someone who doesn't use that shit I didn't think anything of it#LO AND BEHOLD i found out at the store it is close to 45 dollars#And I just buy it because I said id replace what my friend think needs to be replaced#But she knew how much it was and didn't warn me that I'd be spending that much on that bottle#Idk it feels a little... if it had been me I'd just ask for 20 bucks to replace the remaining contents BUTTTT I'm different i guess#Also while we were cleaning out the fridge she accidentally left the door open too and I could tell#She was a little embarrassed given the way she'd come off being accusatory in her initial morning text#Like yeah girl mistakes happen and you have these giant water crates where the door handle is#Kind of hard to close the fridge unless you remember to put decent force in everytime#Which i wouldn't since I just got here#Anywayyy I will no longer be buying her lunch tomorrow gjgdgdyfuihih#I'm also taking a picture of the fridge after I close it every night for the next five days#Because I am not going to pay for that shit again#venom thoughts#text post

oblivion character names really are peak. local man named Toot Sexting
#even funnier that they recorded dialogue saying his name#like its mot like hes just an npc where they randomly added a name to the display just via text for him#and where nobody says his name#nope. they heard the voice actor say ‘toutious sextius’ and they were like ‘EXACTLY. now say it again. and again.’#i remember the very first time i played this quest#i was like ‘okay so glarthir IS just insane because theres NO WAY that *toutius sextius* is a real guy#glarthir MUST be making him up/hallucinating him-‘#lo and behold hes very real#however nothing compares to the guy in skingrad named#‘Foul Fagus’#pronounced exactly how you think it is

so rookanis is just xiaolumi 2.0 for me huh. u have a type huh girl. so this shit was written in the stars before the game even launched. i was doomed from the start.
they're just older looking and ever so slightly taller lmfaooo
#le whiny text post#let me explain in my tags as us tumblrfolk are prone to do audience of zero who did not ask#Man who is deeply traumatized and has lived for the sole purpose of death acquires person who is Slightly Unhinged#and is his absolute Ride or Die in all his shit as he works through it#and will accompany him unquestioningly into whatever perils#and also enjoys mundane things with him so he can truly live#a simple life because despite his profession and seeming destiny his soul is soft and he is incredibly kind.#bonus points for him being misinterpreted by the fanbase and recoloured as an aggressive person#at the very least one of these fandoms doesn't absolutely hate women as the protagonist......................#(was reviewing my 2024 body of work for art summary and thought HMMMM the vibes in these xlmi things is so familiar..... I wonder why.....)#and lo and behold it's the soft/simplistic/mundane bullshit I thrive off of because they are healing. the romance and love and epicness#the object of my fascination is in the mundane and quietness of the healing#it was mostly gazing into each other's eyes and holding hands or holding onto each other for metaphorical stability and support#altho in 2023 apparently I drew them kissing quite a bit so good for them I guess#although to be fair to myself xlmi isn't actually canon whereas rkns can be

#athy texts#can i tell you something funny#over the weekend i was trying to fix the sink#and i was so#at my wits end#and my older sister said why don’t you look for the brand#and i was like OH#the brand#but where?#i am not a plumber#and she was like don’t i know it#at the base at the base#and lo and behold#there it was at the base

Check out this cool friendo living on our garage. Should I killmyself?
#I’m so mad pest control was JUST here this morning#and I told them about thinking I saw a widow last night but they didn’t really go in the garage#and I didn’t bother to open it cause idk I figured it would be back in hiding#lo and behold as soon as they leave I open the garage and it’s chillin in the same spot#so I text them like hey sorry can you come back#and they’re like yeah sure tomorrow no extra fee!#and I’m like great!#go back out there to close the garage- realizing the sun coming in might make it go hide#and it FUCKING moved somewhere else already#so I turned out all the lights and shut the garage back down#pls pray it comes back out to its web tomorrow morning and I see a confirmed kill or ill cry so much

I hate this current trend of ai shit everywhere I'll just be scrolling my feeds as normal and I'll see some art and idk what even happens there's like the divine will of some eldritch god that's just beamed into my head that just goes "That's ai" and sure enough I see some shit at the bottom like "Created with stablediffusion" or some shit and damn guess I gotta unfollow them now :/
#idk why like sometimes I gotta examine details but most of the time its just raw vibes#like I see a thing and some part of my brain's just like 'shields up for this one'#and then lo and fuckin behold#I cant even explain it it's just the vibes are off#like obviously it's not 100% accurate but it's more often than not I think#pun's text posts

I’ve got a paper due tomorrow and my brother texted me that he is in the hospital circa two hours ago and I obviously was trying to get in contact with him to find out what was going on and then after that he informed me that he “didn’t want to bother” our parents and hadn’t told them where he was yet so I just spent the past 45 minutes trying to get in touch with our parents for him (bc it’s past midnight and they were dead asleep) so like do you think that’s grounds to ask for an extension or no
#i think he’s okay?#i rly don’t know because he’s very hard to get information out of#and he’s a hypochondriac#but apparently his schools emt sent him to the er so i really don’t know what to think#and he’s alone bc he’s a freshman in college 10 hours away from home#so like#i dont know what to do about that#but he seems okay right now#just obv worried abt him#hopefully it’s all okay though#also bruh ig my parents can sleep thru anything#i must have called and facetimed and texted a hundred times#then i remembered we have a landline that can’t be put on dnd#so i called that repeatedly#and lo and behold#it worked
