#mixed metaphor

[gabby-i-guess]

One of my colleagues (who is Brazilian and sometimes has funky English) just invented my new favourite mixed-metaphor/malaphor:

"for the love of me"

Which is "for the life of me"+"for the love of god".

"Can't for the love of me remember where I left it" has such good vibes to it. "No matter how much I love myself, I still can't remember!" is so fucking funny to me

Incorrect sayings that I use so often I’ve almost forgotten that they’re not the originals:

I have bigger fish to fight

We’ll burn that bridge when we get to it

You can lead a horse to water, but if you drown it you have to walk home

Opening a can of whales

You made your bed, now shit in it

Combining the latter two into the phrase “you opened this can of whales, now lie in it”

the problem with watching buffy the vampire slayer for the first time when you're 13 is that it will fundamentally reshape your brain chemistry to the point where literally all fiction becomes buffy the vampire slayer in different fonts. "watch another show!" you might say, and believe me i have! i promise i've watched many other shows since i was 13. but the problem is that all those other shows as well as films, books, podcasts etc. are simply deviations of buffy the vampire slayer to me. it's the holy text, the primary source. everything else is just commentary.

man i wish writing was as easy as drawing. the pictures just pop into my head fully formed à la birth of athena. the only thing standing in my way is hand eye coordination and perhaps the linear passage of time. my writing process on the other hand is some kind of infinite monkey + infinite typewriter jest. if i slam out enough words i'll eventually hit critical mass and some LUCA organism will claw it's way out of the primordial soup twitching and gasping.

remember creepy and wet? you used to love creepy and wet :(

i still love creepy and wet i just sexualise it now. it's matured in my basement like a fine wine or perhaps a cheese.

The thing about Andor is sometimes I'll get annoyed when he survives by chance again and I'll be like "oh c'mon now" but then I'll remember he's got plot armor in the same way a lobster in a restaurant tank doesn't have predators. He's unbalancing the scales, and he will pay the piper sooner rather than later.

okay here's my take

Xemnas: villain the narrative keeps adding complexities to because it accidentally got attached

Xigbar: egging the narrative on

Xaldin: narrative's chosen guy for disagreeing and being in a bad mood

Vexen: narrative's conflict generator (both his replica project in Days and his everything in CoM)

Zexion and Lexaeus: prey the narrative toyed with a little too much that gave the narrative some illness after being eaten (Zexion) and guy engineered to help the narrative's prey last longer (Lexaeus)

Axel and Saïx: narrative's favorite and guy doomed to be relevant forever due to his relationship to the narrative's favorite

Demyx: who fucking knows at this point. class clown

Luxord: "surprise tool to help us later" says the narrative

Marluxia and Larxene: weird things from the junk drawer that the narrative rediscovered and decided to use for an art project

One of the things that hurts the most about Roy smacking the fork out of Jamie’s hand at Ola’s — aside from the show wanting to play for laughs what was an incredibly jarring moment. Like, there would have been other ways to accomplish the same joke of ‘haha, Jamie doesn’t know what he’s getting into’ without resorting to as violent a gesture that Jamie — with his known history of abuse and habit of flinching away from sudden potentially violent gestures — had to flinch and protectively cover his hands against his chest, reminding us, the audience, of that history of abuse. Roy could’ve pulled the plate and the fork away. He could’ve eaten the meatball Tom Wambsgans-style. He could’ve even glared him into putting it down.

But no, what hurts the most about that scene at Ola’s isn’t Roy snacking the fork out of Jamie’s hand. Or the waitress admonishing him like making a mess and wasting food was the problem. Or Roy apologizing to the waitress and then telling Jamie to clean up the mess

What hurts the most is in the next cut to him, Jamie actually has cleaned the mess off the wall

if ive been at a restaurant cheerfully and enthusiastically waiting for the chicken parm to be served for like 5 hours, am I not allowed to be disappointed that it turned out to be salmon instead. sure salmon is really tasty to some people but what if I just don’t like salmon. why are they serving salmon in the chicken parm restaurant? “it’s such an interesting surprise that the chef brought out salmon! I can’t wait to see what’s for dess—” no. bring me my chicken parm .

anyway that’s how I feel in the miraculous ladybug fandom rn lol

Just saying - bucks mint green kitchen aid would fit rather perfectly in the diaz kitchen - it would match all Eddie’s kitchen stuff!
