... Sam? Sam how often does this happen. How often do powerful women proposition you. What do you mean 'here we go again'. Sam. Sam answer me.

I was gonna do a Meet the Artist to kick off 2023, but I realized this says infinitely more about me than any cutesy doodle + likes/dislikes list ever could

guy whose childhood drags behind him like a dead body

whatever you do don't imagine jean moreau, age 16, already broken and abandoned and now starting his first year at edgar allan, desperately clinging onto his numbness and endurance, not knowing how much worse his life is going to become not knowing how much better it will get if he can just hold on a few years longer

between willis and catherine being retconned into being abusive/neglectful, that fucking shoehorned talia romance, bruce having the character consistency of cottage cheese, and shelia's girlboss betrayal, what's really impressive is not jason coming back to life but how he seems to be holding the world reserve of shitty parents

I have my own personal and moral issues with cheating, but if someone doesn’t seduce Aaron Taylor-Johnson away from his decrepit wife, I will riot.

For 5 ask game: how about an au where zuko and aang are both the avatar

1- "how does that happen" well, Aang half died in the ice burg. The subsequent water and earth benders were noticably weaker than previous ones, though this helped the water bender hide from the fire nation, and led to the earth bender one being killed by them... Just as Ursa goes into labor for the first time. Unfortunately, Ozai wants to use his avatar son and is very disappointed when Zuko turns thirteen without a sign of airbending- the sages promised this boy was the avatar!

2- Zuko is invited to war meetings, but when he tries to speak he is silenced- when he is actually the avatar, master of elements, he will be allowed to advice, trusted, but not yet. He can sit in silence for only so long, and finally breaks to say they cannot sacrifice the children of the fire nation like that- and he is sent away to the sages, who suggest investigating the Air Temples and seeing if anything there sparks bending in him.

3- it does, the barest bit exploding when he gasped at the sight of the bodies, when he caught the glimpses of spirits in the corner of his eyes. Zuko can't stay here and orders the ship to take him to the southern water tribe instead, so he can unlock water bending. That doesn't work, (and the village says there's no water benders left) but it's marginally easier to practice fire and air bending outside of the graveyard the temple had become. He trains for years, knowing there is no point in returning home unless it's as the avatar.

4- and then one day, Katara wakes Aang up. Zuko gets close hoping the light are spirits that will help him learn water bending, and then we get to the first real problem of them both being the avatar: only one of them can be it at a time. So, when Aang starts bending, Zuko suddenly can't, unless he can overpower Aang and leave him unable to bend as well. (Which he only manages with the highest levels of anger) um, the avatar state is the opposite - if one of them goes into it, the other is dragged along.

5- Zuko is now chasing them because he wants an airbender and waterbender teacher, and also see if he can figure out from the spirits why his bending keeps vanishing. Iroh keeps asking him how he's going to actually convince them to teach him after he captures them, and Zuko says he'll just figure it out then. Katara thinks Aang is proof that awful firebending prince was only ever a mock Avatar and the bending vanishing is just a side effect of being in an ice burg for a century. Sokka thinks they're all crazy. And Aang actually figures out what's happening very early but no one believes it because "that's not how the avatar works" even though as 50% of the avatar, he should be considered an expert!

[hungerpunch]

i see even comedy that doesn't typically "punch down" has circled back around to using crackhead/crackwhore as a joke. i'm so exhausted by you all. you are so cruel, so casually callous, it's worrisome. you don't realize how easily that could be you. you think you're so superior, so pure, so intelligent as if addiction cares about how smart you are or what you do in life. as if this entire country (usamerica) is not machinated in a way to get people hooked on painkillers. as if the docuseries industry isn't busting with expositions that reveal the wide-ranging sprawl of addiction here and exactly how manipulated we have been. as if loads of people in "white collar" jobs aren't addicts. as if loads of stay at home parents aren't addicts. as if addicts can't have pearly smiles and collect a paycheck. as if there's any real merit between the person who got into a party drug as an impressionable kid then couldn't stop and the lawyer who started doing coke to stay awake for 80-hour workweeks then couldn't stop and the unsuspecting patient who was prescribed opioids by a doctor then couldn't stop. there's not. no one is better than anyone else. addiction is leveling. equalizing.

and the worst part is you are one, too, you up there on your high horse. you're addicted to something. something in this world has its claws in you, its grip on you, that you want to stop but can't, that you could not stop without support. so shut up. shut the fuck up. the people you call crackwhores, meth heads, junkies, etc. they are real fucking people. we are real fucking people just like you. we are real people who deserve your fucking respect and compassion. we are just people who are trying to exist within a system that is trying to eat us alive, just like the rest of you. it's not cute. it's not fucking cute. it's not cool. stop fucking laughing.

i! ro! ha!

Okay, finally perfected the design. The pink one was… a big wonky. Humpy back, wrong tail… but I have found a kind of satin that is up to the challenge so that’s cool. But baby rainbow isopod at the bottom has all the corrections. Now I gotta write a pattern, find a way to copyright it or something, put together a store, design a business picture thingy… I can’t remember what those are called… choose a site and start posting patterns. Yeah… piece of cake… ugh. It’s so much easier to sew plushies over and over…

But I continue. Next order of business is perfecting the roly polies so as to produce a more beginner friendly boy, with suggestions for cost reduction as well. And hopefully start on an arachnid next…

i think about that anon who said kevin makes drinks while jean cooks every day of my life. picturing kevin at his little bartending gig in the kitchen? holding the drink up to jean’s lips? no better image. i hope he is so happy

I KNOW..... there's something about kevin and i think kevjean specifically where any imagined domesticity between them is so rewarding after the mess of their lives :=) i love you kevjean cooking together but really, jean is cooking and kevin is sitting in timeout after his third attempt at eating raw bell peppers. i love you kevin making drinks and fancying himself a little joke that he's a bartender, using the shaker where jean can see it and looking up at him to see if he's laughing at his impression. i love you kevjean figuring out recipes together and staring at the dish blankly when it doesn't work out. i love you i love you i love you kevin washing the dishes and jean watching him from the counter, talking back and forth but not really saying anything of substance

if i think too much of it i get a headache i swear. kevjean i hope you get to flip pancakes together until you are old and gray. alexa fucking play teenage dream by katy perry or i'll kill myself
