If I go quiet for a while, I'm just taking a minor break from my socials. I've been so stressed these past 24 hours and I'm worried that my socials have been aiding that stress. Tumblr is a safe space, of course, but I'm trying to limit my internet access so I'm not as overwhelmed.

Just a heads up. I know I've already been super quiet lately so it won't be much of a change, but I just wanted to give everyone a heads up💙🩵

holy shit ok

ok so i went to a used toys/collectables store yesterday and bought someone's old pokemon card binder for like 20 dolalrs (but the price is beside the point)

I ended up deciding to transfer all my pokemon cards into that binder AND organize them not by type like i used to but by pokedex number.

It took almost until 12 last night and even then i had to stop halfway through because i was getting tired.

BECAUSE MY CARDS WERE A FUCKING MESS AFTER TAKING THEM OUT OF MY OLD CARD BINDER

I finally just finished now after restarting at like 9am when i woke up.

ONLY TO CHECK BACK AT TUMBLR TO SEE THAT LIKE 20 PORN BOTS FOLLOWED ME (spread through my different sideblogs)

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

I find it unfathomable and astounding that Tumblr isn't more obsessed with Sam Reich. You're telling me there exists out there a man who was born into the aristocracy of our country—with every privilege of modern society at his fingertips—who didn't complete high school (due to his mental health) and instead chose to devote his life to making strangers laugh and raising awareness on mental health. A full-bearded short king who is so committed to being the change he wants to see in the world that he decided to take the company he worked for into his own hands so that he could make sure all the people who worked under him could keep their livelihoods.

How many other CEOs are out here being as honest and transparent with their target audience/market as Sam Reich is? How many of them acknowledge when they fumble and continuously strive to be better than they were? How many of them actually seem like they respect their talent, both in the cast and crew? Sam Reich is the standard we should be holding other CEOs to.

But forget about all that (I could talk for a long time about the respect I have for Sam Reich)—ignore just how respectable he is as a businessman and a person. Ignore all the wholesome reasons for obsessing over Sam Dalton Reich.

The man is a stone-cold fox.

He's a little chaos gremlin and an absolute evil mastermind all rolled into one classy suit and well-groomed beard. Whenever Sam is on the set, you can guarantee he is going to make you crack a smile. And for someone with such natural authority, he's never afraid to be the butt of a joke and show himself being embarrassed. Go ahead, watch any clip of him trying to improvise in No Laugh Newsroom and just try to resist that blush.

You're sleeping on a goldmine of a man, here, damnit! And I will NOT let this go ignored any longer!

2. an image of spock doing the hand salute with the text "live fast and get fucked or whatever" at the bottom. /end ID]

the fact that eric kripke isn't even christian really adds something to the way christianity is depicted on supernatural. because its really not about being christian at all, but about living in america, a country dominated by christianity, and having to decide for yourself how to handle that. faith is huge in supernatural, and the mythology of the show is very bible-centric, but notably, christ is never there. even sam, who starts out revering the angels, who once said he prays every night, doesn't actually call himself a christian or imply that he believes in jesus--the show is steeped in christianity and biblical lore and yet neither sam nor dean are christians. in fact, over and over again the church itself is depicted as a haunted house that sam and dean will only ever enter as strangers, as outsiders. priests, preachers, faith healers, chapels, crypts, etc. are all just iconography that create an intense sense of unease that sam and dean respond to instantly. as a jew, its very relatable. an essential part of living in america when you're not christian is that exact sense of unease, of knowing that the culture of your country has ensured that you'll get knocked over by christianity no matter where you go, that you'll see hundreds of people truly believing they're good people while doing awful things in the name of their god, and you have no choice but to confront that. kripke gets it

My step-grandpa has the same name as a character in the third The Walking Dead game installment. Not gonna say who, but it's the same as one of the main characters. So when I was playing the game in front of him and they kept saying the character's name he just turned to me and said "Oh, his name is [insert name], too?" And I said yes. He's a cool dude, I feel bad for him. He's so nice to me, even when I just seclude myself from everyone in the apartment and I never spend time with anyone.

Just started playing Disco Elysium. First off: Excellent voices. Second: Kim is designed for you to immediately fall in love with him - right?! The tender feelings I have for this man can't be described by coincidence

I wanted to do some fnv drawing. Got to doing it. Got that far. Then my hand just:

But then again, playing over 6 hours of Mario Kart in one day without much of a break between cups will do that. Don't make my mistake. Is bad. 0/10 Do NOT recommend.

Of Tiny Tots, Mistaken Identities, and Reunions

Seventeen year old Damian Wayne is dragged to a business deal outside of Gotham (along with his father and Drake), mostly to keep up appearances that the family does work outside of Gotham, networking, and because Damian does need to learn the ropes of the company, he decides to head outside the meeting with the Manson family to get a breather (mainly cause the Manson's were annoying him fully, it was like they were trying to suck up towards Damian and trying to push their daughter on him but at the same time he caught them almost insulting and hostile towards him before they would stop and correct themselves) when out of the blue a three year old toddler with black hair comes running over with a cheerful "Daddy!" and latches onto his leg.

Damian is stunned in place but feels frozen when he hears a voice, older and almost identical to his own but he can detect a familiarity in it, a voice he only hears in his dreams nowadays say.

"Ellie, no! That's not me Starlight! I'm so sorry dude-"

When Damian turned his head towards the voice he's meet with an near identical face, granted there were some minor differences, but very, very familiar pair of striking blue eyes staring at him. Eyes that were somehow full of life, which shouldn't be possible because the last time he saw those eyes they had been dim and milked over years ago. The speaker had become startled at the his sudden turn and the words that he had been saying had quickly died out when he too took in Damian's features.

"D...Damian?..." the name came out so soft and small that Damian almost didn't hear it but he did.

And before Damian could stop himself, he spoke a name he hadn't dared utter in years.

"Danyal."

His twin looked like he had just seen a ghost, and Damian was sure he looked the same. And given the last time they had last saw each other it was no wonder they both looked like death warmed over them for a moment.

After all... Damian had failed to protect his brother, Danyal al Ghul all those years ago on a botched mission.

His bother who... wasn't dead.

His brother who was looking like he wanted to run but was keeping himself rooted in his spot.

His brother whose eyes were glancing downwards and seemed so nervous.

His brother who knew the little girl, Ellie, still hugging his legs.

His brother who had... responded and corrected her mix up when she had called Damian 'Daddy.'

And oh, she's looking up at him and making grabby hands wanting to be picked up and she has Danyal's eyes and his nose and-

Oh... Damian.... Damian's an uncle it seems.
