Hey 👋🏾

I wanted to share some of my writing.

This was fun. Got outside and talked to people. Feeling good. Time to get back to reading physical books.😌

"Tumblr CEO: No More Porn" on YouTube

Oh yeah, I meant to share this before, just remembered lol

May the 4th be with y'all!

RotS gave me life. Also, I had a thought. So, since the original trilogy was made first, it looks older, more practical right? And, the prequels look more bright, technological. So, when Order 66 happened, it now looks more dystopian.

wanna hear a wild story? my brother’s history professor is closing in on 80 and basically lives at the university. one night my brother visited him for a meeting, and it came up that my brother was gonna be performing as a court jester at the castle the following day. and his professor busts out: “ah, that reminds me of my youth!”

he then proceeded to tell the tale of when he and his friends went backpacking to greece back in their early 20s. then one day they found themselves completely penniless. so they decided that the only reasonable thing to do was to set up acrobatic shows in skimpy outfits on the beach at day, and then drink up the money at night.

after a week or so they gained some traction, and a gang of young greek men walked up to them like “hey y’all are cool as hell, can we join y’all for drinks tonight?” and my brother’s professor was like “of course! y’all have to wear these revealing outfits and do somersaults with us tho” and the greek gang said “sounds dope. y’all are invited to live with us for however long y’all want.”

anyhow, they proceeded to live like this for the better part of 3 months, doing shows, drinking, and sleeping at the greek gang’s apartment. but after a while they decided enough was enough, and said thank you for everything, but we’re going back to sweden now. and the greeks said “sure! love y’all have a safe trip xx”

half a year later my brother’s professor gets contacted by the greek police. they ask him about the months they spent in greece, and then informs him that their greek friends have been convicted of serial homicide and robbery. that the group of young greek men had joined up with several tourist groups for several years “for drinks”, and then killed and robbed them all, terrorising the beach city for several years. with one exception, of course, because “this one group of swedish acrobats in slutty strongman suits were just ‘so damn nice’”.

and that’s the story of how one swedish history university professor survived sharing a flat with a group of serial killers for several months by performing acrobatics in slutty outfits on the beach. moral of the story? be kind of heart, thicc of ass.

Watch "Being Not Straight" on YouTube

So, I watched Kotaro Lives Alone...cue the tears. It was sad yet heartwarming.

Dont ignore

Hi tumblr, im not seeing any mention of this over here right now so I'd like to help spread awareness here too since this really needs to be addressed.

About 2 to 3 days ago, police brutally killed latjor tuel, a black man suffering from mental illness and was having an episode when he was killed, and then proceeded to leave his body in the streets for 8 hours.

They're trying to justify killing him, but there was no reason for his death period, he was a man having an episode with his mental illness and all he was supposedly "armed" with was a STICK.

Latjor tuel did not deserve to die like this at all, what the police did to him and the state they left him in is not justifiable whatsoever. This treatment of black people cannot go on.

PLEASE, donate to the families GFM if you can:

And help spread about this as much as possible by any means you can

Instagram

Thumbnail ✨perfection ✨ lol. But, honestly, this is a great video imo, go watch it if you want.

So, I got on a dating site, filled out the info and everything, right? Going through some guys' profiles; age preferences; who I think is cute and such. Talking to my sister @charnellecatastrophe about how it's been so far....Bruh, some of them just put "ask me later." "Ask me anything." "Text me to find out XD!" etc. And nothing else! Everything else is just left blank!

Like, the reason you fill out the info about yourself and the type of person you want to date is so you can find someone who might be compatible!

I'm really about ask the most random and uncomfortable questions just to mess with 'em

"Does Hocus Pocus make you horny?" “You ever been to jail?" "Do you know about your car's extended warranty?" "How do you feel about horse porn?" "Do you read 4th grade workbooks for fun?" "Do you like cheese on macoroni?" "Have you ever cut your sister's hair with a chainsaw?"

You said I could ask anything 🤔

@charnellecatastrophe also pointed out how sometimes, it's the reverse: you fill out the info and some don't even read it! Like, say I put that I dislike horror movies. Cue, the meet up and you're buying two tickets for Paranormal Activity 87. Why? Cause, you didn't read my info or look at my interests. Another thing I thought of was safety. Like, what if you're deathly allergic to peanuts, flowers, etc, and I bring Reese's peanut butter cups, or a rose as a meetup gift. Now, you're dying, because you didn't mention that at all.

So, I watched "The Man In The Iron Mask". And I liked it. I was invested as soon as I saw Leo! So, here are some of my thoughts and things I like/dislike about it.

- Philippe was so sweet! Freaking loved him Those parts where he stares at the moon were just.... 😭. Him and Athos practicing etiquette was nice. I wish the montage was longer and really showed their father-son bond.

-I was rooting for Raoul even when I realized he wasn't going to make it! I felt bad for Christine. I wish she found out about Philippe. Like, when I watched the trailer, I assumed the switcheroo would happen and Philippe would also end up liking Christine.

-Bruh, Louis was awful (Good job Leo!). When he told Christine she was going to hell, I was like 'damn, Louis savage.' Matter of fact, his whole thing with Christine was messed up. I was here for the switcheroo plot!

-I liked Queen Anne well enough. She didn't get a lot of screen time but, I thought her interaction with Philippe was so nice b/c you know she knows who he is. Someone mentioned her and D'artagnan having an affair, and rethinking helped me see it. Like, I liked their love story just fine. It adds an extra layer of drama.

-I loved when a heartbroken and pissed Athos shows up at the castle, ready and willing to cut b*tches down.

-I thought D'artagnan was interesting. His whole thing with Queen Anne was sweet with implied drama. I mostly liked how his morals are conflicted b/c he's aware that Louis isn't such a great king, but he swore allegiance to the crown.

-I loved the masquerade ball scene.

-The backhand from Louis to Philippe was entertaining and immaculate! (Stop hitting yourself Leo😆)

-The All For One, One For All gunfire charge was ✨perfection ✨.

-Louis getting throat punched was hilarious.

-The opening narration was great. And, I want to learn it

-I kinda wish they did more flashbacks. Like when Philippe talks about being arrested or when the King dies and mentions Philippe, I wish there was a flashback or soundbites to show memories/nightmares/frantic thoughts.

Watched Encanto...it was so GOOD! Bruno was my favorite. Which reminds me, I saw and have seen so much content for this movie. And, have a few headcanons

_I don't think anyone has mentioned Delores's room. I feel like it has windchimes or built-in soundproofing so she can sleep.

_I at one point, imagined Bruno saying Anakin's lines about sand from Episode II

_But, I also feel like Bruno actually liked his room when he got his gift. Like, since the rooms reflect them and their gifts, Bruno actually liked the tower and giant sand floor because if he wants to be alone, it wouldn't be super hard for him to get through his own room. But, Pepa could make it rain, and they make sandcastles and have picnics with Julieta's cooking.

_Ooh, what if Pepa's room had the 4 seasons, simultaneously.

_Julieta's room is a mix between Tiana's Place and an infirmary.

I'm pretty sure my first anime was No. 6

Everyone’s starter anime is death note.

I don’t count sailor moon or dbz cuz you watched those as a kid and assumed they were cartoons.

I mean when you got “into” anime fully aware of what it was and actually became immmmmmersed in this bizarre weeb culture.

It’s usually death note.

What’s happening on Twitter? 😂

do you guys wanna see how bs ‘’’bmi’’’ is?

let’s start with a few pictures of my body shall we

(please ignore messy room i’m in the process of packing)

okay so that’s the body of someone that eats healthy, literally my fave food is broccoli, and i work out 5 days a week, you’d think i’m at ‘’’healthy weight’’’’ right?????

BITCH NOPE

that bitch telling me to eat 1500 - 1900 calories a day are you fucking joking??? that’s fucking starving myself and i’m not doing that. fuck you.

Gotta remember this when I write another story 🤣

Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

Edit: People, I’m an English and creative writing double major in college; I understand that there’s nothing wrong with simply using “said.” This was just for fun, and it comes in handy when I need to add pizzazz. 

So, I bought a charcoal set. And, I looked up the differences between graphite pencils (I love research) and time to work on drawing people and landscapes.

Ooh wait, “we're already dating, and I want (need) to get you the perfect gift for Christmas.”

Rejoice, “let’s fake a relationship for Christmas” fanfic season is upon us.

Ok, so, I mentioned this to my sister @charnellecatastrophe a while ago. People talk about Spiderman 3 and how it sucks; but, we like it. So, we ended talking about Harry. And I said something like : “I'm kinda surprised Harry showed up.”

First movie: Harry believes Spiderman killed his dad, so now he's angry at Spiderman. Also, Norman bonded with Peter, which might've caused some jealousy. And they both like MJ.

Second movie: Harry's still angry at Spiderman, then he finds out that Peter is Spiderman; so now he believes his best friend killed his dad (Peter didn't say shit in defense, but he's more focused on MJ being in danger Also, 'Peter, don't tell Harry'). Then, he finds the secret lab behind the mirror. Goblin Jr.

Third movie: Harry gets amnesia. Ok, so now him and Peter are cool. Hanging out, BFFs. MJ and him have a whole moment, while she's mad at Peter. Then, Harry touches that damn mirror! (I'm pretty sure their penthouse is haunted, or at least that mirror is tbh.) So, now he remembers EVERYTHING! He remembers all his anger, plus the 1-2 months that he hung out with Peter, who he believes killed his dad. Probably felt like a betrayal of the highest degree. So, he threatens MJ. Eats pie. Then, Peter shows up ( Harry is hospitable and offers up a drink) they fight (just f#cking up the penthouse) and then Harry gets two-faced by a pumpkin bomb.

Then, Bernard FINALLY says something after he built up these angry walls.

I've seen some great Banana Fish content. So I just like to throw in some thoughts about this great/sad anime:

1) Cain was great. I feel like he didn't get a lot of credit. Love his character design. He came through when needed and cared about his gang.

2) Shorter was my favorite. 😔😭

3) When Ash screamed Eiji's name, I wasn't ready...nah, this whole scene had me about to act up! Yut-Lung, you bastard! But, seriously, I was invested in their potential future. 😭😭😭😭

4) On a happier note, this right here:

This made/makes me happy. It's just nice. 😢😣😔😊

Okay, so, thinking about this, doesn't this basically say “f#ck the Chosen One!” as a trope ? Oh wait, would a solid prophecy trump unionization?

Hm, I was pondering about the recent-ish trope of Adventuring Guilds (effectively trade unions for protagonists in fantasy rpg-inspired settings, which I’m sure I’ve seen in a bunch of things but the main example that springs to mind is Goblin Slayer to my annoyance but the Hero Association in One Punch Man has a similar albeit superhero-slanted deal), and how mechanically in the setting they exist to ensure x reward is provided for x amount of work/danger involved but in a meta sense are there so the characters don’t have to go looking for heroing gigs on ye olde Craigs Lyst or something.

It’s an interesting idea, similar in a manner to the many fantasy trope-tinged guilds in the Discworld novels of the late great Terry Pratchett, although an amusing idea occurred to me with the idea of trade unions for fantasy heroes.

Like, if there are unions to ensure employment and fair pay for folks clearing out dungeons, getting gnolls out the cabbage patch, stopping gnomes from going through your bins, and so on, then, logically, there much exist fantasy hero scab workers as well.

Folks that the local king or something brings in for lower pay on more dangerous jobs. Folks who are, say, completely new to the setting, out of their depth, and are thrust into a dangerous situation by a seemingly benevolent authority figure because said authority figure is too cheap to hire someone who understands the risks involved and asks more suitable wages for the role…

Y’know…

Hey y'all, guess who's birthday it is? If you want to send something here are my links.

It's been fun, sad, and everything in-between for 21.

Time for 22! 🥳

Goosebumps has a musical! ...And I'm interested

something very comforting abt knowing that this is how everyone reacts to listening to mcr for the first time
