working at a pizza place, there was a vertical rack with a bunch of trays with dough on them and the top couple ones got used so the rest needed to all shift up a couple slots and i spent a couple seconds going "this'll just take a second, I can just shift+click them and move them as a group" before withering into the fertile earth

I just want y’all to know that one time during lockdown I played a lot of Minecraft because I had nothing better to do and then later I was going to go into my room after a shower so I could go back to being a hermit but it was dark so I just thought “oop, can’t go in there, there’ll be skeletons spawning there and they’ll shoot at me”

And for LIKE FIVE WHOLE SECONDS I didn’t question it and I just turned on the lights and walked out into the living room to wait it out, just thankful I had my pajamas on already so I didn’t have to fight off the shooty skeletons in my dark closet where there might be some creepers too

And then all of a sudden I was like “Wait what the frig skeletons aren’t real” and then just went back into my room

And I think about that a lot. So if ANY OF YOU dare to think that I have any more than three and a half braincells on a really good day, just please remember this and know that you are sorely mistaken

Feels weird leaving an ask, like I’m walking up to a sage on a mountain and asking advice but that sage is likely just some guy in his pj’s eating cheese. Anyway any advice for how to be okay with being perceived? It’s hard to not feel like everything I do whilst in someone eyeline is embarrassing

I'm actually eating Pierogi in the bathtub right now so this is perfect

Okay first off, currently working my way out of the wet paper bag that is Social Anxiety that once had me agoraphobic and melting down on my way to buy groceries, just so you know what you're working with

Care about how you dress, but not in like, a fashion way. Just a "I like how I feel in this shirt" sort of way. And not so much, "I look good in these pants so I will wear them to be perceived Correctly", as, "I feel great in these house slippers and when I feel good I'm confident and when I'm confident I give less of a shit what the haters might think". Wear what feels good. Cut your hair and do your face and nails whatever way feels good. Appearance is secondary to vibes.

Lean into the funny. I waited 10 minutes in line for a coffee order that had already been set out for me this morning, and when the barista noticed, we both had a good laugh. Five years ago that would have killed me. Now I'm glad these poor workers will have a funny story over their bland ass shift. When I was in retail that would have been adorable and hilarious! And so, my goofemup is a gift. I am full of blessings

Get louder and watch as nothing bad happens. Take up more space and watch as nobody yells at you. Wear brighter or skimpier or janglier outfits and bask I the glory that is "Nobody gives a shit except the nice strangers who give me compliments". Marvel at how far you can push the envelope before anyone so much as comments on it. This will free you.

Say yes to terrifying opportunities to be Seen. Karaoke, dance, improv. And if you can't do it sincerely, embody a caricature of yourself. It's terrifying and it sucks eternally and forever and ever and ever like hellfire until suddenly it doesn't. Then have fun.

Be honest. Not unkind, but blunt if you need to. "I'm having a bad time". "This kinda sucks for me". "I know you hate this song but you can deal with these last 30 seconds because I need it to live". Mostly people will think it's a joke but respect it anyway. God bless

Please keep in mind that I am flying by the seat of my pants here and this is just stuff that's worked for me. I am still a nervous disaster crying into the void. Good luck space cowboy

i need to do more silly goofemup comics with the rest of the cast jett and melody (mostly jett) are getting too much attention from me im neglecting the others 😔

[mmoxie]

that one i couldn't remember was called the tangi virus

so maybe i missed the mark a little with my made up goofemup name while filling the memory gap

it's a little more memorable than i thought but i uh

didnt remember it, lol

[nagdabbit]

this is some goofemup shit

i’m macbeth, i’m wearing a burger king crown, but it’s not even mine. i borrowed it bc there are no burger kings in my area. also, banquo sounds like a little old southern man, and feather boas actually really hurt to be hit with.

haha ha, yknow how queer people don't really have the same chance their straight peers do to explore relationships in middle/high school, so their romantic development is years behind by default? well, get this, you're gonna love this, what if back to back global disasters and "once in a lifetime" catastrophes interfered even more? can you imagine?? dfakdf lol it'd be so funny, such a goofemup, if someone's chance at normal social development was completely ruined for them for 20 years. hahahha. so hysterical. it's like, they wouldn't really feel like a person because their opportunities for platonic and romantic love had been squandered at every turn, isn't that just gut busting?

[isogenderskitty]

me: hmm... maybe i shouldnt ship phan anymore... idk maybe people are right when they say irl people shipping is gross and bad regardless of circumstance.......... what if the boys r faking the goofs and they actually are uncomfy w/ it.................

i will say that after paying the 50+ hr mark and switching to speed mode i Am setting more.. not glitches really but slips. sonic boosts into a wall corner and gets flown upward. sonic runs up a wall at an angle and instead of falling hes thrown backward slowly, rotating. like physics goofemups. more flinging myself into level geometry too, though he hasn't gotten stuck yet

Id definitely recommend just playing attack mode instead of speed mode. unfortunate a whole game mode isnt physically optimized 😔 but oh well, its easy to switch! really i think the reason to play speed mode is just to make him go SO fast u can bypass normal physics

you ever think about how that one western union wire transfer fraud case so obliterated the concept of remote banking in the US that most everywhere else in the world we just direct transfer between different peoples' bank accounts but in the US you have to use third party platforms to do so and now people have to put their SSNs into tumblr if they wanna get 69 cents thrown at them for their goofemups and also elon musk gets to make cars and also laws

my girl, georgie barker?

First impression- jon has friends???!?

Impression now- could stand to take some of her own advice and go to therapy, and get better at letting people live their own lives even when she doesn't like their choices (that's not just about Jon, her cutting him out is a bit different imo. she's just a real ultimatum kinda gal generally). otherwise a Delight and the most sensible non-evil person on the show

Favorite moment- her just ????ing at Oliver so hard

Idea for a story- so, my mom's first year out of college (aka first time living away from home) she and her friend did the classic "we don't have dish detergent for the dishwasher, surely regular Dawn will do" goofemup, and were terrified that their (several years older) roommates would hate them for the mess. Roommates ended up helping clean up- after instigating a bubble fight. Anyway, that's Jon and Georgie when they move in together in uni. I'm not sure who put the soap in the washer, but it's v good for Georgie's "getting back her emotions" journey

Unpopular opinion- she's not always right! but on the flip she lets jon get away with a looooot of stuff. personally i find her choice of line in the sand weird, after the "fugitive from justice" thing, and sh'es p harsh and judgy about jon staying at the institute and refuses to let ppl correct her idea of what the situation is, but she's not being totally unfair to jon.

Favorite relationship- georgie/melanie and georgie/jon are tied but in different contexts. precanon jongeorgie is just too delicious, but any time post uni it's melanie all the way. until i figure out how to contrive another tma lady into her vicinity... (look i just think georgie/sasha has potential, even if it's even more embarrassing "girl you have a TYPE" material than dating melanie)

Favorite headcanon- she was like. Super serious about starting What the Ghost. No ambient-noise computer mic phase for HER show, she didn't start until she had at least an ok mic and some kind of soundproofing (even if it was a duvet lol)

Speaking of the everyone can cook

EVERYONE CAN!!

 it takes some practice and sometimes the learning curve is VERY steep or not steep at all. But I’ve cooked since I was fairly little and my parents even before they divorced were okay with me learning to feed myself (I was a fussy eater so it wasn’t like I was eating entire boxes of hot dogs or cereal. But if I wanted a sandwich I could make it myself). Plus both of my parents worked and I’d be left with my brother who wasn’t the best baby sitter. And then later I was in charge of taking care of me and my sister. So at the LEAST I had to know how to make mac and cheese or spaghetti. (Mostly sandwiches bc sometimes mom didn’t have enough food so ....mayo sandwiches)

But that doesn’t mean AT ALL that I don’’t fuck up cooking all the time or that things can be extremely daunting.

Start by learning the absolute basics like:

How to cook rice. How to boil pasta. How to cook a potato (lots of ways all super easy). How to cook a piece of chicken on the stove. How to cut an onion. How to boil an egg. How to fry an egg. How to make a grilled cheese. 

Then you take what you learn from the basics and adapt on that. 

I’d say about half the time I cook rice correctly. (Luckily. The good shit rice I bought from Mitsuwa is VERY forgiving). 

I was helping at my friend’s bridal shower and the regular cooking skills were fine (Chopping, frying, grilling) totally fine. COULD DO NO PROBLEM.

But then I was asked to make some scones. FROM A RECIPE

WITH TWO INSTRUCTIONS.

 PUT WATER. ON THE MIX. 

MIX. 

And I kept looking at the instructions like they were suddenly going to change at some point. So that’s even with over 20 years of cooking under my belt.

I still look up how to hard boil an egg. So like....you should never feel ashamed for not knowing how to cook or starting off bad at cooking. Even professionals fuck up every now and then. Before we knew what we knew about BA that was one of their more charming points was the goofemups. 

(I’m still terrible at baking lol)

My proposal for TAZ: G

It’ll be called TAZ: Goofemups (goof em ups)

It’s a western where all of the players are trying to be the lead cowboy of this town, and compete in daily showdowns to determine who is the current leader.

The catch? It’s not guns they’re shooting, it’s goofs. And the damage is psychological.
