#but that was just one thing. no biggie

always fun whenever I bring up an anecdote from my childhood and it turns out it wasn't an anecdote, but actually recounting an apparently traumatic event. at least according to the people I tell the anecdote to.

Could I request Medic having The Mom Grip on Scout’s shoulder after the speedy moron almost let a mercenary secret slip while they weee getting groceries?

Three Europeans and two Americans walk into a grocery store in New Mexico.

I hope this is the right meme.

More silliness below.

This comic is the antithesis of the "wtf is a kilometre" joke.

The faces they make when they can't quite identify the type of brown bread in the bread aisle.

You don't know how [insert nationality here] you are until you go overseas and things are different.

Spy obviously has no problems with pretending to know how much a gallon of milk is, he just peeks into his conversion chart notes, pretending it's his shopping list.

I want to think Heavy is completely fine with having to readjust to a new unit system, he just eyeballs most practical things anyways by holding them up and mumbling about how they approximately weigh like a chicken or his kettle bell etc. He's always been living in practical ignorant bliss.

Medic has a peer reviewed meltdown the first time he realises there's no uniformity in "a cup of ____" because every object has different densities. He's diligent about memorising the conversion rates for ounces, pounds, the most common things etc., and recovers ok. He goes through the same stages of grief rage when he finds out about distances and lengths.

Just remember four inches are 10.16 cm and pray no one asks you to specify anything bigger than inches.

Everyone does a mental victory lap when they manage to guess how much Celsius the weather is because they keep forgetting it's Celsius*5/9+32=Fahrenheit, Engineer reminds them patiently.

The true victories are the correct temperature guesses we've made along the way.

One time, a friend asked me if I actually knew how much a tablespoon of flour was in gramms to convince me that metric users also make use of volume based units without thinking about them. But little did she know a heaped spoonful of 405 flour is about 15g and a level tablespoon is 10g.

They claim Oolong just tastes better when it's boiled to 80°C exactly with a Bunsen burner.

You only asked for one scene but somehow I came up with a bunch of other things. This post was drawn across 2 months so the artstyle is all over the place. Thanks for your ask!

something something "Why on earth would you believe that [I hated your violin playing]?" "Because you said literally said that to me once, dad!" something something children remember the fucked up things their parents do or say like major historic events, while parents forget them like average tuesdays...or something

Silvaze and Sontails parallels? In front of my salad??

Apparently more likely than you'd think!

something so interesting about writing a sort of pfl arc fix-it au is that a lot of the really awful characterization gets fixed by just. making south in the right and york in the wrong. and changing nothing else about the characterization. like

[under the cut since this got kinda long]

okay im always thinking about like. the version of pfl that was implied in 6-8 and the way it specifically emphasized the conflict between the freelancers. the fucked up nature of the leaderboard and the competition. "we were a competitive bunch. we had to be." theres hints of this in 9-10 but its really just carolina and south being unnecessarily uptight about the rankings and a vague suggestion of an "in group" that doesnt actually go anywhere.

but like. what if the rankings genuinely mattered and the freelancers had to fight for the right to get an ai at ALL, not just to be the first one to get one. what if there were more consequences to falling in the ranks than some light criticism. then high-ranking agent "are we the good guys?" york becomes complicit in this fucked up system designed to create the perfect soldier by any means necessary, and never-good-enough agent "i never GOT an ai" south becomes a victim of it. instead of south caring too much out of. pride? loyalty to freelancer? its a preservation instinct and york et al are like "whats HER deal" because the system works fine for them.

then naturally south would be one of the first to defect from the project because what has it done for her?? while someone like york is enjoying the perks of being a highly ranked freelancer agent with an ai and not thinking too hard about it. like. in this scenario south would never be the one defending freelancer from being raided by north - it would absolutely be the other way around. and its so much more interesting that way!

anyway. i can guess why they made the most bland character in existence the good guy and the raging bitch the enemy (ahem. misogyny). but like???? give me the weaponized indifference antagonist and violent resistance protagonist!!! that rules!!!! (well. you dont have to give it to me. im already writing it myself lmfao this is taken directly from my au)

4 and 7 for the meme!

4. What are some of your rp pet peeves?

((Just... constant thread drops to the point we can't even get a relationship established cuz the threads just get dropped after three replies.. I get that maybe you lose motivation or maybe stuff is going on in your life... but idk, I love building relationships with my muses and other muses... I can't do that if a thread never goes anywhere. I'd rather have a thread take a long time to be replied to than constantly dropped...

Another pet peeve I have is untrimmed posts. If it takes me over five seconds to scroll through a post, I'm either blacklisting the url or unfollowing. I hate my dash cluttered with untrimmed posts.

Also, like GIANT icons that aren't cropped really bug me idk why... But along with that-- ITTY BITTY ICONS also bug the shit out of me.. like-- some people make them SO small I cannot see what is being expressed in the icon... and that defeats the whole purpose of USING icons.

7. Who was the very first muse you ever wrote?

((Technically speaking, Medusa was my very first muse I wrote.. but that's when I didn't know what I was doing. The very first muse I wrote on Failbook was Salim Bradley (Pride.)

Just got an ad that was formatted like: person in some big country needs organ transplant and a kid somewhere in the provinces went missing and then it followed with a clip of Milei talking about selling organs being a market too and urging people to protect their children from him. Needless to say it gave me whiplash.

How did Rotom Cyrus end up hanging out with the D/P/P kids in your AU, and is there a particular reason he's staying with them for now when he doesn't seem to want to be recognized?

SIMPLE: hes got really bad luck and well. he's level 1 rotom he doesn't really Get A Choice of who he hangs around.

Though the kids can't actually really recognize him? he can't talk to them really and at least initially can only ever look like his old self in the distortion world (giratina does it for him) at BEST they think it's funny that they found a ghost that acts similar to the guy they left in hell

thanks for reblogging spoilers to nope, really appreciated the lack of tagging :,)

I guess you're new around here, bc i've be reblogging about Nope for a whole year now. If no one comes to my inbox asking me to tag for spoilers, then I don't. From the lack of response it seemed like no one following me really cared about the movie to not want to be spoiled.

THAT BEING SAID

I understand if you're feeling a little put out bc you think i've ruined any viewing plans you might've had but lemme let you in on a little secret:

spoilers don't ruin good movies

because a good movie is an experience. And there's a difference between knowing what happens and actually watching through it and getting the full context. I didn't see A New Hope until like 2017 but I've known since I was like 5 that Vader was Luke's father (Star Wars spoiler, i guess??) Knowing the facts of the story didn't take away from my enjoyment of the Original Trilogy bc they're good movies.

So if you had any interest in seeing Nope, I would still recommend it to you. Because nothing I posted just now spoils the acting range, the incredible soundtrack and sound design, the perfectly placed humor, or the phenomenal directing. And if I'm being honest there's gotta be some kind of irony directly related to the fact that someone on anon is coming to me about spoilers for a movie ive been obsessively blogging about that deals with the nature of media consumption and audience interaction and the lack thereof but it's 7 in the morning on a Saturday so im off the clock

but just for funsies here's some no context spoilers for several other things i blog about

She's a robot

high schooler becomes king of the world then assassinated by his lover

guy beheads only man to ever love him

the queen was the manager for a fairy boy band

his old crew tricked him into getting a job in human trafficking

her boyfriend is made of feathers and is also allergic to them

the raven princess isn't actually a raven

that dude who hates fire people? yeah he's a fire person

the wise old mentor is actually toxic exes with the big bad

surprise! the guy who turned you into a demon is an angel!

I just *clenches fist* want to make my own dvd boxsets SO BAD

grimmons for mermay!! part 1/4 (hopefully)

part 2

my idea for this au is like.... the simmons family has a vacation home in hawaii or something, near where grif lives in the ocean. they both spend a lot of time near the beach to get away from their respective families and naturally become friends. so im planning to kinda explore how the 2 of them and their relationship change over the years- this one is their first meeting as kids

also, to be clear- simmons is trans. this is canon to me. i was actually inspired by @autisdicksimmons for this simmons design bc he always describes young simmons with braids and i LOVE it. anne of green gables lookin ass

i probably wont get all 4 parts done by the end of may, but june is pride month so it works out perfectly lmfao

[tedbecca]

today drained me. i’m so serious. it was not my worst day of teaching by far but it certainly felt like the longest. but i got maybe 3 hours of sleep last night which is likely the main culprit of me being at the end of my rope tbh
