Btw yeah, if you thought those Last Words things were going to be little snipits of him on his death bed? Yeah no-

Don't get me wrong, there are several timelines where he dies of old age, but that felt a bit lame for this.

He's a superhero, and he's going to go out like one. As all great heroes should.

#ooc - out of costume;#I've got a ton of ideas for these so please keep them coming #might take a bit to come out because im going to put the effort in for these but i promise it'll be worth it #taking inspiration from a ton of my favorite stories where it's a hero's final stand. not just the Spider-Man ones #though there are a good number of those

i needed to express a sentiment in the creative stylings of @dunmeshiminimumwage

#eliot posts #dunme #delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi #sorry to put toshiro in the roll of shitty job interviewer lmao #but he was the best fit for ''guy that wants me to read their mind''#laios being my internal monologue here #i was on my THIRD interview of the day i was Dying #tho since the prev two interviews i had were for similar positions and told me their salaries outright at least i could use that number #(though tbh my work persona is more of a kabru. my customer service voice is unparalleled)#(at my first job even my coworkers thought i was sooo cheerful til i got too comfy and casually made a joke abt wanting to asphyxiate on a #plastic shopping bag like a sea turtle. in front of my sweet elderly coworker. oops!)#(also this job was during quarantine and after weeks of working together i took my mask off in front of one coworker for the first time #and she called like half the department over from their registers to look at how pretty i was??? prettyboy powers unmatched ig)#(also my first interview today went SO well i charmed that interviewer so good despite my lack of qualifications)#(she even complimented my social skills and said i seemed like the type who could get along well and make good conversation with anyone!)#(which is important bc i was interviewing for an elder care position. also old people especially tend to think i am a Delightful Young Lad)#(unless i accidentally make a morbid joke around them ig lmaooo. or. well. some of them like those too. but not that one coworker lol)#(if only that skill transferred over to actually making friends irl. my autistic ass has so few close irl connections)#(i hope my exceedingly short list of character references does not prevent me from getting hired)#AND ALSO my first job asked the same wage question and i said twelve dollars #and they were like all our new employees start at 7.75 #the union insists that we pay all new employees a whopping 50 cents above min wage. (we'd pay less if we could)#like dawg why did you ask that then??? if my answer did not matter at all???

Got a weight today and I'm soo close to a bunch of round numbers: 2lbs from 260 and 5lbs from 100lbs gained since 2020 - plus I'm half an inch away from a 50in belly 👀 And like, I feel big but, uh, I can totally see why so many gainers are like "huh, X doesn't feel as big as I thought it would" because it does not feel as big as I thought it would...

But 260lbs is like... the kind of fat boy territory where somebody's almost always big enough to stimulate my kink neurons no matter their height... Idk it's just kind of a threshold to me where 250lbs still sounds like it could plausibly be a super muscular tall person, but 260 brings up the image of a fat person in my brain... And I'm... 2lbs away from that number 👀

#I'm still not like... ACTIVELY actively gaining and it's been nice to go slower but like... All those numbers are right there...#260 is wild though good thing I fetishize this stuff or I'd be in ed hell or would have dropped t a long time ago lol 🙃#I know I'm being dramatic on the gainer scale of fatness but like whatever. 260 is big no matter who you are idc

You doing ok?

hi

#i'm alive. simply being chewed upon by multiple things #work is more stressful than i'd like it to be. for instance i'm hoping that i submitted my time off notification for tomorrow correctly #because otherwise it might read as a no call no show and i would . like to continue having a job #now to be fair. i do have it on the system that i requested it at the beginning of the month and i emailed my supervisor about it last week #so even if i didn't submit it correctly i'm likely in the clear #but nonetheless. i also got a firm talking-to the other day and now i am on ✨thin ice✨ for dicking around too much #because they track ur idle time at my work (computer) and mine was Quite High so my supervisor was like man what the hell is this #but even though she was kind of baffled at me spending so much time dicking around #she couldn't even really be all that mad in the end because i'm still doing good numbers and have made no (zero) mistakes #so she was just like. it's kind of impressive that your numbers look this good when you literally have 50% idle time #so she goes imagine what you could do if you weren't wasting so much time #and yeah i can whip out some Really Good Numbrers when i put the effort in.#so the problem is not my numbers it's just that i'm not spending long enough doing my tasks for the day #but i don't want to drag out those tasks intentionally so i've just been upping my own standards/goals #as much as i hate giving any more of my brain power than is necessary to giant corporations #it's still easy to feel smug after you get Talked To and then immediately turn around and show off #like yeah i coulda been doing this good the whole time. literally pulling up by 20 points. i just didn't want to.#trying to keep everyone's expectations low but accidentally toed the line of um. not working enough to keep my job #...anyway.

Animorphs Book club book 8

My reaction can be summarised as this (yet again):

I don't have many thoughts because uh. That was depressing as hell and I need to stare at a wall.

But I DO gotta say that the subplot with the dead "wife" was so telenovela-esque that for a good minute it was more funny than depressing. Then it got depressing. But it was so jarring and so far out of the left field that for a good second my friend and I had to pause the audiobook and laugh because ????????? Unhinged to just appear, go "I am Eslin, I have a G U N. My secret wife was killed. By my boss. Now I yearn for sweet sweet revenge." and not elaborate. Like. Damn dude ok. Sorry about our wife also. Fucking killed me that he continued like "So anyway I reacted adequately by killing all of my boss' friends. Starvation style." Like ???? Jjhsgdjsdfghsjdfh what????? I mean damn I do respect the grind set but also that's such an absurd escalation out of context. Did your boss kill your wife? Kill all of his friends! And in context the most absurd part is probably the notion that Visser 3 has friends??????? Like??? Wait no Eslin. Eslin wait. I love your John Wick-esque "fridged wife" trope swag but you need to slow down. I need details. I need you to tell me HOW your boss even has friends.

In my heart I do not believe we will see that madman ever again but on god I do wish for an insane telenovela-esque sequence of him just showing up at the most random moment to do exactly one thing and that's to pull a gun on Visser 3. For no reason, I just think it would be kinda funny. Like,,,did your boss kill your wife?:

Kill all of his friends

Acquire a G U N

Attempt to make the local Andalite youth assassinate your boss for you

Pull the gun on your boss

???????

Profit (probably die)

Aside from that, I also need to say that the moment when Ax called Tobias his close friend at the end was so sweet. Also ngl kinda...concerning/harrowing how much Tobias really doesn't give a shit about not being a human. Like it doesn't seem so concerning from other points of view but the way Ax gets increasingly weirded out by Tobias not asking him about the nothlit (idk if I'm spelling that right rn) really reminds you that it IS kinda worrying. Like I get it, I mean...Tobias has no family that cares about him, he has no friends outside of the Animorphs friend group, why would he care? But it's still kinda...yeah.

Also unimaginably surprised by the amount of collective guilt present in the Andalite society. You'd think they're Catholic or something the way they keep beating themselves up and force everyone to also beat themselves up and their system itself is saturated with the guilt and shame and they teach it to kids at school from an early age. Like. Jesus Christ calm down. Stop that. As the Animorphs said at the end of the book - the Andalites made an oopsie once. It sucked, yes, it continues to have consequences that suck, yes, but it happens. Sometimes you think you're doing something kind and it turns into a disaster. That does not mean you should beat yourself up for it or, god forbid, tell other people that they should not be kind lest they make a mistake. Damn I guess we should all be cold assholes forever, huh? I'm sure that can't have any negative consequences.

Andalite society in general seems kinda unhinged. Like...do I get why it is like that? Yeah. But do I find it unhinged? Also yeah. Like ok duty and the collective being the most important things is totally sensible for a prey animal. Safety of the herd and all that. But it's still kinda unhinged that they do make everyone have duty as their number 1 priority and that they have rituals devoted to it. Not all rituals are spiritual or religious in nature, but the morning ritual is kinda...borderline religious in a way. More spiritual than religious, I suppose, but yeah.

Also I love Ax so much. 10/10 character. He has it all: an incredibly hilarious desire for cinnamon buns, the inability to act like a human being (same dude), spitting random facts at completely random times, a thirst for blood only a 13(?) years old could have, a dysfunctional obsession with duty and doing what is right that only a 13(?) years old could have (also lol yeah dude I was like that when I was 13 too. dw you'll grow out of it), he can even code. And he might even be bi (I'm joking but I' referring to the fact that he was like "Yeah so when I morph into a human form I suddenly agree that Rachel is beautiful and that Marco is cute.").

#animorphs #animorphs book club #honestly though i was starting to wonder WHEN some Yeerks would go 'fuck it i dont hate to put up with that idiots shit. i vote for mutiny.#because like...Visser 3 is...well id describe him as the empires weakest soldier. like he seems to have SOME brain cells rattling around bu #he doesnt seem to use them correctly?? like ok he is pretty paranoid and that itself is annoying. he is obsessed with Andalites enough to b #mockingly called 'half-Andalite fool' by some of his subordinates. he lacks charisma and cannot for the life of him even look like a leader #of any sort. he is deeply unpleasant to be around and nobody enjoys his company. he is half-decent at planning but only half-decent #and what he manages to plan he tends to ruin by every other aspect of himself (either he antagonises his subordinates so much that they don #tell him information or he makes an impulsive decision etc etc)#he is nearly fully incompetent and his only advantage is that everyone is afraid of him. but the problem is that theyre afraid for a #good reason and that is BAD because that means that one day theyll become too pissed to be afraid. like. ok. he has a famine on his hands.#he makes the brutal and cruel but strategically sound decision to reduce the numbers of the soldiers. he immediately fucks up big time #by killing them more or less at random instead of being strategic about it. a strategic plan would be to kill someone and find out who #all of their colleagues are and kill those too. if you dont kill a subordinates colleague because they happen to have a more important #position; of course that person will be pissed off and probably organise a group with OTHER similar people and that group WILL #attempt to murder you (probably brutally) or die trying. so basically he antagonises literally everyone around him by being personally #unpleasant; volatile; conceited and impulsively aggressive AND incapable of as much as hearing feedback or willing to change his mind #and the last point also antagonises people on a formal level. and he also kills their friends. at random. and threatens everyone constantly #hes like a if a chihuahua had a huge scorpion tail and it was absolutely deadset on asserting itself by simply slashing everything and #everyone with that tail. like genuinely he has no charisma he doesnt even pretend to care about anything that doesnt interest him he is #inflexible he cant adapt his plans half of the time because he wants them to be THAT way and not THAT way also why is he like my mother?#like the longer im typing this for the more i feel like im just talking about my mother. damn. thats depressing.#anyway. my point was yeah i would have been surprised if nobody wanted his head on a plate. i think all the Yeerks who are sick of his shit #should unionise. i just think itd be funny. like several of them are just like 'Man i dont give a shit about this war or whatever i just #want to be allowed to have emotions and to love my coworker over here and also my boss is a nightmare i hope he gets colic and dies'#like ok guys i have a solution. G U N

okay i think we need to start writing lists of hunger games theories/opinions we hold in disdain.

we do . . . here are some of mine:

gale killed prim

effie went through a spectacular character arc and came out to be a good person in the end

katniss supported coin's idea to hold one last symbolic hunger games

peeta is boring (boy is manipulative as shit hello)

finnick shouldn't have died, it should've been gale instead

the reapings were rigged to pick prim in the first book

coin is lucy gray

coin is worse than snow. also snow is worse than coin

snow truly, genuinely loved lucy gray

snow truly, genuinely cared about sejanus

gale is genuinely, truly an evil bad person

katniss should've ended up with gale

people unabashedly hating on the careers/cheering at their deaths/saying they deserved it

katniss's mother deserved more anger from katniss for the way she checked out

when people say they want to see more of the games/hope the next book has a sizable portion dedicated to it

when people make sotr about haymitch ships

when people unironically ship snowbaird or whatever-snow-and-sejuanus-is as a non-toxic, happy, loving couple and make romantic tiktoks about them

when people make any of the books about mainly the romance (they're about how romance/marketing is used to cover the less digestible aspects of the horrors of war hello)

when people say flickerman in tbosas was super funny comedic relief???? his literal point in that movie was to show how making sick, twisted jokes about children dying was used to water down the fact that, you know, children are dying. you're supposed to be sick to your stomach because he could casually banter and dumb down the severity of the hunger games, not laugh with him. if you laughed at even a single one of his jokes . . . like hello

the berries started the rebellion . . .

snow wasn't genuinely convinced by katniss's in-love-with-peeta act

when people thirst over snow because tom blyth is hot get me out of here

snow was a genius for the third quarter quell (that was an objectively stupid move on his part and not at all smart)

katniss never wanted kids and the ending was out of character for her (i'm all for criticizing writers that make (usually female) characters who explicitly don't want to have kids have kids anyway, but uh. katniss is not that character)

snow is smart in general. he is not smart, he's just opportunistic

gale didn't deserve katniss because peeta had bread and he didn't (do not take this the wrong way people; i'm saying this is a stupid anti gale argument, not that i ship katniss and gale)

pretty much anything the movies pushed or changed (*cough* hayffie *cough*)

the hunger games isn't a tragedy

#thg #tbosas #sotr #suzanne i understand you. suzanne i'm not one of THOSE fans <- terrible thing to say but please . . . please . . .#there may be more. i'm always surprised at the sheer number of WAYS people are able to misinterpret my queen suzanne's masterpiece #i AM gatekeeping. i AM. i don't care!!!! the hunger games is a fucking reflection of real life society and was written as such #if i sound stuck-up and gatekeep-y then good #this isn't some silly entirely fictitious fantasy where you can thirst over the villain as much as you want #ANYWAY #asks #innereverblaze #feel free to add on or something. or ask me to expand this is meant to be a bulleted list so i didn't go very in-depth #and let it be known that i HATE the thg movies. those things are awful horrific terrible adaptations and i HATE them #tbosas was okay though #stria speaks #good post #anti thg movies #anti hayffie

Begging people to return to the time honored tradition of finding a slightly mean person to proof read their papers. The amount of accidental contradictions, weird grammar, missing pieces, and awkward phrasing is maddening. Every day I have to read words. At what cost?

#get someone who will actually point out the issues and not just say “yup looks good”#the number of things i have been reading lately that make no sense from start to finish #because it makes sense in the author's head. because the author can connect the dots. did not write those dots down though

Wait but there are some of us who are emotionally attatched to her as well and who love how you draw her...like me as one example lol! Also if you love a character...wouldn't you want an excuse to draw em a lot?

Also nice to meet a fellow Caramel arrow lover...I adore her too!

Dont worry, dont worry, I was only considering!

But lucky for you I'm not going to pull her off my list ^^

#its pretty rare I put a character on a “no draw” list so to speak #im glad others like how i draw her though!#as a side thought. im getting up in numbers for followers!#thank you all sooo much for being here ^^#what do you guys think i should do as a event?#it'll be a while before i really have to think about this but its good to start earlier right?#also would you guys be interested in my making Keychains/ merch to buy?#oh! thst reminds me id also love to sell the first chapter of my comic!#id post the black and white version online for anyone to read but make a colored version for those who want it ^^#waaaaa that would be a dream come trueeeee ///^^///#anywho. here i go on an unrelated topic #dreamy talks

You’re the ONLY substantially followed blog on here that still defends Keefe and honestly he DESERVES IT it’s called COMPLEXITY and you write about it so well!!!!!!!! Seriously thank you for writing about Keefe being not a bad person. Also because he had flaws (which is not a bad thing it’s a thing) but he has a lot of good moments to people seem to be ignoring entirely so besides thank you for existing

Ok I’m not the only Keefe defender here with followers lol. But aside from that point

YES anon keefe is not a bad person and I do worry that our attempts to balance the scale from the “keefe is actually perfect” era have gone a bit too far. I’d be considered pretty Keefe critical by a lot of the Pinterest fandom and a lot of younger fans who just fangirl over him, which is funny because he is fully my favorite character. However, being critical of a character’s actions is different from just… defining that ENTIRE CHARACTER by just a list of their worst moments (ok just realized like that sounded like a callout and it isn’t. This isn’t about THAT list. It’s a general thing. But actually in hindsight yeah this could also be about that list. Love you Stria) because round characters do have good AND bad moments, including keefe. Keefe didn’t get a huge fan base out of nowhere for no reason. He’s a great guy and he makes Sophie really happy. Their relationship has a lot of realistic rough patches (and I believe it needs to go through at least one more big one tbh) and he’s FAR from perfect but. yeah. Since the attitudes on keepblr are very different than other platforms, it ends up being just as unbalanced, because a lot of people who dislike keefe end up aiming most of their arguments at the keefe fans who ARE NOT here instead of the keefe fans who ARE here.

Thank you for existing too anon <3

#kotlc #keeper of the lost cities #keefe sencen #the biggest thing actually is ppl responding to keefe fans who aren’t on this app #like I get it. you’re annoyed that people think keefe is perfect. those people are not in the room with us #please address the arguments actually being made #<- not responding to anything particularly recent btw #like I am thinking of a thing from a while ago but it was not big thing #anyway thanks anon. good opinions #there’s actually a number of good pro-keefe blogs though. sorry if mine is the only one you found but there are LOTS!#search through the keefe tag ;)

Damn, I guess we only get 4 weeks now (instead of 6) to find our lost/overdue library items before we get charged replacement fees.

#(this is a good policy actually. i'm just so mad at myself because i don't know HOW i lost it!)#possibly i could have gotten an extension if I'd called to report it lost instead of looking lazy #but i have not seen this damn dvd since february and i was TIRED and had pretty much figured i was gonna have to replace it anyway #wanted to get it over with. i WAS counting on having one more weekend to look before the clock ran out but c'est la vie #though i must say: paying $30 for a dvd I didn't watch and don't want to and legit only checked out for circulation numbers to prove #that people definitely want dvds of shows on streaming services so yes please keep buying them! ... is a bitch #(if i was gonna lose one of those could it not at least have been Blood & Treasure??? 😭)#(on 2nd thought I think it is possible that if I find and return it soonish i can get the charges reversed or at least lowered #but I also can't check anything new out while those charges are outstanding. so. 🙃

so it was officially my crush’s last day at work 🥲

#we hugged #he smelled good #i’m probably never gonna see him again 😔#i’m upset with how everything turned out #i ruined everything by asking him about those stupid rumors it’s just been downhill since then..#of course he didn’t ask for my number he didn’t show any interest in staying in touch with me 😔💔#like it’s fine that nothing happened between the two of us i would’ve loved to just get to know him better as a person and become friends #but he clearly wasn’t interested in that #he actually couldn’t have made it more obvious that he had no interest in me at all #i just wish i knew the reason… like does he have a gf or hoes he just genuinely not care about me or maybe even dislike me?!#the not knowing is truly what drives me insane the most and these what ifs will probably haunt me for a long time #like what if i didn’t ask him about the rumors and didn’t annoy him maybe we would’ve gotten closer after all??#ughhh idk and i’ll never know and that’s what bothers me the most 😩#i just have to accept that i won’t get any closure and that it wasn’t meant to be whatever the reason may be #it’s just such a shame bc i haven’t liked anyone so much in like 12 years??? so who knows when i’ll genuinely like someone again :(#and we got along so well before i ruined everything with approaching him about the rumors 😭#it’s my own fault really even though i didn’t have any ill intentions 😔#i guess with time it’ll get easier but he’ll probably always be the one who got away for me 🥲#☁️

How DARE Brennan bring 12 Brooks back to hurt us! At least the Great Bullfrog wasn't killed but OOF this whole scene is Bad Vibes, and that Wizard Keen Eursolon was talking to gives me the heebie-jeebies.

#worlds beyond number #the wizard the witch and the wild one #gotta listen to the new episode and then i think it's time for at LEAST a relisten of the night vale valentine's aftermath episode #but also i am SO behind on the show itself that i don't even remember basic plot points so i might just start over #those first few seasons i have listened to several times and they still hit so so so good #(though the political stuff and big corporations jokes are....horrifyingly relevant and not jokes anymore 😬)#oooooh and maybe i'll add some night vale merch to my rewards list!
