Dead Certain (1991)

[weirdlyfitting]

(Semi-spoiler for s3)

It's still mindblowing to me that brooklynn's phone continues to become one of the biggest TRIGGERS for camp fam's catastrophes?!?plus whenever that phone just showed up it'd always ruins their relationships bruh (though for the better or worse 💀)

in camp cretaceous s1 it caused :

darius and kenji's first near-death experience

cancellation of camp fam's (except for darius and kenji cuz they're grounded lol) lab tour

VAN CRASH

very first yasammy's falloff

bonus : brooklynn's anger issues & insecurities

i forgot abt s2-s5 since her phone has already gone, but i'd love to mention in s3 with brooklynn and the laptop because in a way that laptop embodied brooklynn's phone pretty well lol, it literally became the start of kenji and darius' actual SERIOUS beef with each other and also one of the crucial point of kenji's character development! one more thing is, that laptop has shown the early signs over brooklynn's reckless behavior of sacrificing herself for the greater good (prolly survivor's guilt), she was lucky that she's got her friends' back when wu captured her, or else it could've been worse bruh

EDIT : I REWATCHED S4 AND TURNS OUT THIS LITTLE PRICK OF A GADGET DID IT AGAIN LMFAOOOOO. i know it's not exactly "brooklynn's phone" to begin with, but i found it funny that brooklynn was still associated with it (she's the first one who tried to reach that thing when she and yaz sneak out to kash's workshop)

in camp cretaceous s4 it caused :

yaz and brooklynn almost getting caught by kash

unintentionally triggers yaz's ptsd over dinos

darius being conflicted (and basically questioning his morality) either if he had to leave the forced dino fight OR saving himself and the entire camp fam

darius getting caught AND GETTING SEPARATED FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON

i'll add more after i'm done watching the whole season asjkdjs

anw going into chaos theory...

in chaos theory s1 it caused :

kenlynn's break up (kenji's pov)

darius' secret crush reveal IN FRONT OF KENJI

basically the whole darius and kenji's big, BIG fight 😭

in chaos theory s2 it caused :

kenlynn's break up (brooklynn's pov)

ben drifting apart (isolating himself) from the gang

ben having anxiety-paranoia and panic attacks 24/7

ben not being able to open up as freely as he used to be

BEN AND KENJI ULTIMATE ANGST PLOT

chaos theory s3 HUGE spoiler below

NOW in s3 yaz and sammy LITERALLY ended up having another beef because of brooklynn's cut off FROM HER PHONE. But y'know what's interesting? this is SO similar to kenji and brooklynn's break up situation! each of the opposite partners had different views of understanding over the situation, sammy and brooklynn saw and knew what happened IN FRONT OF the screen while yaz and kenji decided to disagree because of what they saw BEHIND the screen.. AND THEN THE AWFUL TIMING MADE IT WORSE! both yaz and kenji had tried to give themselves more room for understanding their partners, but the more time they gave, the more mentally exhausted they went, and JUST in time when sammy and brooklynn REALLY had that moment that's able to justify their reasoning of their actions, their partners weren't able to see that and instead giving them the decision that only led to a more catastrophic situation for each of these couples

and there you go, i present to you : THE SAGA OF BROOKLYNN'S PHONE, may it continues in s4 and beyond U_U)/ ❤️

Yaz and Sammy's fight... God, that made me scream happy screams. It's like that fight or argument cleared things out between them. Because after that fight, they were back to being even more coupley and cute. Yaz's "I guess we need each other, huh?" NDBJSDBSJAJSJS

Being chronically ill a GOOD doctors appointment is like

Trainer: "you're gonna get a new pokemon for sure!"

Me: "oh boy which one"

Trainer: "well all I know is it's a water type. Because this is a water zone. Do this battle (assorted tests and appointments) and in 4 weeks to 6 months we'll know if it's a rare or regular."

Me: "what the f u c k"

Trainer: "try not to think about how the rare might change the entire trajectory of your life while we wait :)"

Me: "bro I just wanted a pickachu"

I've decided the Ratman was Chell's father. We know she probably has at least one parent who worked for Aperture Science, and it would explain why she was so important to him. Why he left her an escape route, and painted murals of her. Stubborn survival runs in the family.

You know what? Maybe I'll get through college purely for the sake of learning to write strong academic papers to prove my mom wrong about things.

arch users, is there a noticeable difference in how many programs support arch vs. debian?

(wcau) due to his patch of territory being on clan borders, house has plenty of neighboring clan enemies (plainsclan territory and his overlap but since he's an ally and codstar's close friend, he's safe to hunt there even in winter when prey is scarcer; hunting on other clan territories is not as easily overlooked)

the deputy of this other (as of yet unnamed) clan has a particular bone to pick with him. ternstorm (tritter, name may change) isn't afraid to harm a free-roaming medicine cat, nor is he worried his torment -- more than is necessary for chasing someone from clan territory -- could end in his demotion as volestar (vogler) doesn't like house either. volestar, however, doesn't sign off on house's death either, as doing so would end in war

my 'hey yes we have an all-consuming brainrot going but let's try and do something actually productive this week that I'm having off of work' project is sorting through my bookshelves, rigorously throwing things out (little miss I own over a thousand books in my one-room apartment is reaching the breaking point aka I'm finally and utterly running out of space) and i think i threw out almost a hundred books today and it's still not anywhere close for sorting shelves by genre without having to stack and put things second row. how am I supposed to live like this

Speaking of Tyrest. A lot of people forget that he treated Pharma with absolute disdain, not only using him as a test subject for a clearly painful mass murder machine, but talking to Pharma like he saw him as nothing but some henchman to order around that was nothing more than a 'diseased cripple' if Tyrest hadn't come to rescue him.

Like it really is an interesting background dynamic with some curious implications, but when you look at fandom posts from around that issue/the years after, for some reason people just saw "Pharma worked with Tyrest" and concluded Pharma is a card carrying bigot ksjfnskxkd. Like yeah Pharma didn't do anything to stop Tyrest but it seems his main beef with the Autobots was with Ratchet in particular and maybe a general disdain for his ex-comrades. As well as continuing to hate Decepticons which like, not even the "good Autobots" are immune to (even in Pharma's introduction, First Aid says in his journal something like "yeah we all hate Decepticons, but Pharma REALLY hates them"). And despite what fandom likes to construe there's really no evidence in IDW1 that Autobots and Decepticons are different "races" or "types" of Cybertronians, so Pharma hating Decepticons really isn't a bigotry/robot racism thing. And instead probably has something to do with, idk, the 4 million year long galaxy-spanning blood feud war, or maybe being blackmailed and tortured into insanity by the Biggest and Most Decepticon-y of Decepticons.

Tyrest treated Pharma like trash, the other Decepticons working for Tyrest (how come no one ever brings that up btw) also hated him, so if anything it seems that Pharma was more of a rogue element only staying with Tyrest bc he was his best option and probably had no way to even escape.

I'm glad that at least in recent years the fandom has acquired a keen reading eye and good taste to finally recognize Pharma as the (accidentally) complex character he is instead of making him some posh, racist Starscream clone SHSJDGSGDH

show tempe gang crossover with the morris islanders would actually have been the best episode of bones ever. btw

Little-known allergens that are put in/used for practically everything are so annoying. What do you mean I'm allergic to this mac n cheese. Who decided this mac n cheese needed manufactured citric acid?!
