22 - 17
You're back. It's been 17 years and you return with all the pomp and circumstance of a warrior from battle. Only not with scars and wounds but smiles and her. She looks beautiful and you look happy. Though I have not seen you in person and probably never will again, the moment I saw you in that reunion video, my chest was cut open. My wounds revealed. The pain came crashing on me like a wave in the north sea.
As I watched you hug your buddies in that video, I remembered the when we danced together at the Slackers show at the Knights of Columbus over 22 years ago. I remember the day I saw you on the corner by your house as I was riding my bike and we talked for hours. I remember our first kiss. I remember our first time together in bed. The way we snuggled on your bed. Fought about the Yankees vs the Braves watching baseball together. Our slow dancing together at the Butterfield. How we would hold hands walking around town. Watching Brasil in the world cup with your grandfather. Going to Six Flags and riding Batman over and over in the dark. Going to Warp Tour together and Ozzfest with Shakera. Watching kids play DDR at the Boardwalk. How we were hugging and kissing in the water at Sandy Hook with my grandparents watched from the beach slightly horrified. Getting caught in the act by your friends at the window. I remember how your eyes looked whenever you smiled at me. I even remember our first 'I love you'. I wonder if our initials our still carved into your locker and mine?
And yet, one day you left me high and dry. Abruptly, coldly, boldly. You left. It was the day after Thanksgiving, we were going to listen to 'Steal this Album' together. I thought we were good, I was excited to celebrate Christmas together soon. I was saving up money to get you the perfect gift. I arrived and then you said that you wanted to end it, you didn't give an exact reason why, you said that I could do better and you wanted to be alone that was it. We listened to the album in silence. I can still feel the the tears weighing on my cheeks. The songs still make me think of you.
I begged, I pleaded, I cried. You stood there cold, unmoving, stoic. You lied, we were never friends after. You never talked to me again. You never looked at me again. Never anything again. Then I heard the rumors your friends told me about how you belittled my body and called me names.
I was crushed, I was hurt but yet I still pined for you. I was in love with you. I even wanted to go to prom with you (but you didn't go). I wanted to go on a real date with you. I wanted a real relationship with you or at least actually try to be your friend again. (We were once remember?)
But what I wanted more than anything was to see you smile at me again in those confusing teenage years. But you never did. You made me nothing in your world. Everyday of silence broke my heart.
Did you know I lost my father a year before we got together? Did you know my mother didn't think my father's death was a big deal? Did you know my parents fought every night before, during, and after you? Did you know my stepfather called me ugly and told me I would never make anyone happy everyday? Did you know I was ignored by everyone at home when I came home crying over you? Did you know your friends made fun of my body based on what you said for years? I was suffering and was all alone. I just wanted someone to find value in me and show me a little kindness. Make me feel like I mattered, like my life has some purpose.
So I dated others to try to forget you, maybe hurt you. No one mattered, even if I wanted them to. No one filled the hole you left in my heart. They were all useless and made me feel worse. I couldn't move past you. They were a waste of time and I should have tried harder for you.
At graduation we walked together, I could see how much you hated it. I was happy to end the journey where I started it, with you. Even thought we said nothing to each other.
And we haven't spoken since. When you left for Brasil 17 years ago I was happy and I thought I would be free. I thought I had a chance to get out of your shadow, to live my life without my feelings for you dragging me down. For a long time, I was wrong. I was used and abused in your absence. Literally. No one loved me, or valued me. Everyone after you until the last one, tossed me aside. I was never pretty enough, I was never girly enough, I wasn't anything to them. The truth and the real issue was they weren't anything to me. I was emotionally unavailable to them. They were just company to pass the time. You were always a shadow, lurking in my heart and deep down I knew that.
So years ago I went to therapy to truly forget you and fix myself. I learned in that time that I really had were abandonment issues stemming from my father leaving and dying, my mother's alcoholism, my stepfather drug abuse, my family ignoring me, my friends putting me in the background for others, my partners cheating on me or rejecting me, but one big issue was you leaving for no reason then never speaking to me again except in insults and mockery behind my back. I realized just how much I was hurt by you and how much I thought of you. And how unhealthy it was to love you when you didn't even see me as a person. Plus, when you were truly gone half way across the world, I knew that you would never talk to me again. I realized I needed to break the habit. I burned all your photos. I wrote you a few letters but never sent them. Hell I even debated calling you a few times, clearly I never did. I knew you would call me crazy or insult me so I didn't bother. I still have your old necklace and set of old keys you left at my house all those years ago. I keep them in one of the only boxes left of my old things I have left. Did you know I lost everything else I owned twice? Alot of people have abandoned me over the years. But through it all, I kept your items safe, I still have them today.
You will leave again soon. I'm glad she is making you happy. I finally found someone as well, he values me, he loves me. He has figured out how to open my heart and make me feel again. I've created a wonderful new life and have started my process of getting whatever closure I can for things still left open in my life. You were one thus this letter.
You were my first and I was yours. If i could talk to you, (I wish I could, I wish we really did becomes friends again), all I want to know is; Why did you leave? And what were your real feelings about me? Did or do I ever cross your mind after? If so, in what way? What was lacking in me?
Even if the truth is harsh, I'd what to know.
Maybe one day you can help me resolve those mysteries of what happened to us and allow me to close this chapter completely. Help me heal a bit.
I wonder if you will ever read this? If you do, would you ever reach out and answer?

A falling down amusement park. Watching her face on her first roller coaster. Pizza and a milkshake and the possibility of beer, though no beer.

So you're a realtor. You're making a listing for a condo. And you think, "Yes, this is the photo to use for the main pic. This will get it sold. Yes."
Actually, this has been listed by a retard because here is the actual description this realtor wrote:
"The water view from this 3rd floor condo will take your breath away!! Seller has done some work but condo is being sold strictly AS-IS with the Certificate of Occupancy the responsibility of the buyer!! If your looking for a Beachfront Property bring your imagination and this could be the one!!!! Close to all NYC transportation, shopping, boardwalk and more!!"

what are ur bobs burgers location theories...... i know it takes place in new jesery w/ some architectural inspo from san francisco but I don't know much about nj seeing as im not even american lol
Omg omg! I have so many thoughts about this.
So, for background, I’m from New Jersey. As a result, over the years, I’ve collected some theories as to towns that inspired Seymour’s Bay.
Asbury Park- yeah, like that one Springsteen album. It’s a very touristy area in the summer. There’s a boardwalk and a beach, as well as the famous Wonder Bar. I’m convinced that the Wonder Wharf is named after the Wonder Bar
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Keyport- this is a small town by the bay where you can see Manhattan straight across. I know Sam Francisco architecture was an inspiration for the buildings, but main street here looks too much like Ocean Avenue to be a coincidence, at least, to me.
Tumblr media
Red Bank- I love this town. It’s so funky and artsy. It’s not quite a beach town, but it is by a river! The architecture is also a little funky, which I think matches the vibe of the town. It’s very charming with a Seymour’s Bay type of uniqueness to it. I also think Lily is buried here, because Redburn sounds like Red Bank.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Long Branch- this one is a more affluent area, but it’s one of my favorite beach towns. There’s a boardwalk, some beautiful waterfront restaurants, and funky little shops.
Tumblr media
Atlantic City- do I even need to explain this one? AC is home to not only the longest boardwalk in the state, but in America. It’s probably the most famous spot in all of New Jersey. While I’ve personally never been, the boardwalk is iconic and I wouldn’t be surprised if it served as inspiration for Wonder Wharf.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Keansburg- okay this one is more based off of one single personal experience. Over the summer, I was at the Keansburg boardwalk with my family getting hot dogs. We leave the hot dog place and I see a guy go by in a golf cart. Naturally, I turn to my mom and go “Mr. Fischoeder?” I mean, the guy was in a jersey beach town, at the boardwalk, on a golf cart! I genuinely started to question if I live in the show that day. And then we were walking along the boardwalk and I start to notice that the set up is a little too familiar. It looked like Wonder Wharf, especially in the movie. I can’t really find photos of the amusement park setup, but you have got to trust me.
Tumblr media
Some other thoughts that I have:
I think the location is around the Long Branch area. I remember in Sauce Side Story, when the kids go to Bottom Hook, my mom and I scrambled to find the maps app. There’s this town, Sandy Hook, that we think is supposed to be Bottom Hook, and Louise was saying how far it was from their town. We looked to see what town would be the same distance from Sandy Hook, and it fell on Long Branch.
I think Linda’s hometown of Hunkataway is named in honor of Piscataway or Rahway. We have a lot of Lenape area names around here, and that’s probably in reference to that. I wouldn’t be surprised if her accent was from Jersey City, though.
I believe the Wharf Arts Center is based off of the PNC Arts Center, an amphitheater that’s also the only place big names come to perform in the area in places than aren’t Newark, NYC, or Philly.
I’ve noticed that the Belchers, or at least Bob, fold their pizza, which is such a New Jersey thing. I felt so seen there.
Kings Head Island has got to be Long Island. The spot that’s just a ferry ride away and where all the rich people live?? That’s literally just Long Island, New York.
Remember last year when that one guy dumped literally hundreds of pounds of pasta in the woods and people were saying it was Jimmy Pesto? That happened in my hometown. Granted, it was on the other side of town from me, but yeah. Jimmy Pesto dumped pasta in my hometown ig
When Tina asked Tammy for Becky’s phone number in V for Valentine-detta, she said it started with 201. That’s a New Jersey area code and, according to my mom, used to be more widespread through the state, instead of a small bit in North Jersey like it is now.
I know the name Seymour’s Bay came from a joke with the crew, but omg what if it’s also in reference to Raritan Bay?
Not a theory, but my mom is so Linda coded and I’m very Tina. Like we’re actually them. I think I made a post once about how much my mom is like Linda.
That thing in local she-ro with the local celebrity was so real bc celebrities can be cryptid there sometimes. Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi will just show up to the local ice cream shop sometimes
In conclusion, I really love bob’s burgers and how New Jersey it is. And I will talk anyone’s ear off about it, like I just did. Thank you for indulging me 🫶

I can’t wait any longer. I have to share him with you all. The sketch for my newest character. Please welcome Dino! Info on him below. ♥ I’m in love with him and can’t wait to add the color. Details below.
Backstory: Dino’s real name was Daniel, and his family called him Danny. He grew up in Keansburg, New Jersey. He didn’t know his father, but his mother was very religious and taught her children to be the same way. One day, his twin sister winds up kidnapped by Raiders and is killed before he could get to her as he was unexperienced and young then. In a rage, he killed the two Raiders that took her. His sister’s prayer beads were clutched in her fingers, so he took them home with him. When he got home and told his mother what happened, she mourned her daughter but wasn’t grateful for him enacting revenge. Instead, she turned her back on him and said, “There is no Heaven for you, for Heaven does not accept killers.” He left home and picked up everything he now knows while traveling on the road. Ironically, killing people was what he turned out to be good at. He settled down with the Atom Cats for a while, but they didn’t like his profession. Dino was a “specialized mercenary that only took hit jobs,” as he called it, which was his way of beating around the bush that he was an assassin. The name “Dino” was the name the Atom Cats picked for him, and the name stuck even after he left.
One day, he gets a request from some Gunners to kill someone in Goodneighbor -- a rival mercenary that recently left their employ and set up shop there. His attack on one of their operating posts and the murder of Winlock and Barnes was enough to merit his assassination. They claimed they couldn’t kill this mercenary without starting a war with Goodneighbor, a war they knew they wouldn’t win. However, if a third party were to remove him from the picture, they just might have been able to pull it off. Dino takes the contract and goes to Goodneighbor to find his target only to find out that the mercenary he was contracted to kill -- Robert Joseph MacCready -- struck his fancy in more ways than one. 
Fun fact: his gun is inspired by the Fallout: New Vegas sniper rifles because I like them a lot.
He’s often been told that his style as well as his passion for cooking is odd, but he doesn’t mind. He has always considered himself an oddity. He likes to collect pins and has a bunch on his bomber jacket now. He prefers summer months and midriffs with cuffed jeans. Fucking loves cats. Favorite food: stuffed tatoes with fresh, seasoned razorgrain bread slices.

Are you opening your gas or electric dryer door and finding a little bit of puddling water inside? We have received several phone calls regarding this but unfortunately it is due to the excessive heat and humidity that we have received lately. The humidity is finding it's way in through dryer vents that are not fully sealed and mixing with the colder more conditioned air inside your home.

Schoenbrun began work on the script for I Saw the TV Glow three months after they had begun undergoing hormone replacement therapy, amid what they described as “overwhelming calamity” following having come out as transgender. In featuring the transgender themes, Schoenbrun deliberately avoided making transitioning or coming out explicitly central to the plot, opting instead to write the story as an allegory so as to distinguish it from other films on the topic.[8]
In 2021, the script caught the attention of Emma Stone and her husband Dave McCary, who, according to Schoenbrun, “fell in love with the script immediately.” The script was shopped around to six potential production partners.[8] In October 2021, the film was announced as an A24 production, with Schoenbrun directing and Stone and McCary producing under their production company Fruit Tree.[14] In August 2022, it was announced Justice Smith, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Helena Howard, Danielle Deadwyler, Amber Benson, Ian Foreman, Michael Maronna, Conner O’Malley, Emma Portner, Danny Tamberelli, Phoebe Bridgers, Lindsey Jordan, Fred Durst, Haley Dahl, Jonathan Chacko, and Kristina Esfandiari had joined the cast.[15][16]
Principal photography took place in New Jersey from July to August 2022.[17][18][19] Shooting took place at Verona High School, Cedar Grove High School and Keansburg Amusement Park. Other notable locations were the music venue The Saint and Camp Lewis.[19]
