full of cringe at myself. trying to figure out tumblr. likes cute animals and eerie art. old as hell, but still honestly trying to figure my shit out and improve myself I changed my pfp for halloween and it got stuck like that I swear

[fullbodycringe]

So, I was keeping a log of my first Elementary rewatch, because I was amazed at how well it stood up over a decade later, and because it seemed like Tumblr actually had other people who had not just heard of it, but who liked it as much as I was on rewatching.

Then I hit the last four episodes of season 1. The show had been building up to them with a few well placed events, but those episodes are basically a four parter, so I wanted to review them together. Then, after all of it, I didn't know what to say.

It's good. I don't have any meta points to make about it, I was totally sucked in. I half remembered what happens, but not clearly enough to be sure, and the dramatic punches still land, the surprises still feel like a shock, the moments between characters still feel special.

This is good TV. No notes.

I guess if I'd have to make one, it's that some of the biggest moments in the show have now happened, and going into season 2 I'm not sure what I have to look forward to. Except I don't remember the show going downhill either. I'm hoping it's more that all the pieces are now on the board, so the game can really begin. Even if some of those characters don't make many more appearances.

Your Angine de Poitrine content of the day

Beautiful as always

I love how Angine de Poitrine always does their stretches on stage before the set

They spend hours getting into that makeup taking off their human disguise, so it's not like they're casually walking on stage and playing. Instead we get yoga with aliens

TEN PEOPLE YOU'D LIKE TO GET TO KNOW BETTER tag game

tagged by @sonicemp3! (i just realised your user is "so nice mp3", not "sonic mp3", pls excuse me while i rot in embarrassment lolll my b)

anyways thanks! also this is about to be so longwinded bc i am unable to be concise

last song : struggling to remember but it was probably either can't love by can't be blue & HAN (from straykids, he was the whole reason i listened in the first place and i'm in love w the song, the guitar is amazing, i will def be checking out their other music) ... or it was MARTYR by EKOH which is loud and depressing and basically sums up my music taste!

currently watching : Unforgotten Night (thai bl, rewatching it bc it's one of my faves) and any video Shawna Ripari posts on YT bc her vibes are immaculate and we love sustainability and conscious consumerism! also i am technically currently watching Doom at Your Service but i have 3 eps left bc i can't bring myself to finish it (i've had 3 eps left since nov 😭). AND i've also been following this dude on YT who just discovered stray kids and is watching through their mvs and content! his name is VyScope on YT and i love his reactions bc he genuinely appreciates their music and it's so fun to see him experience all these things for the first time!

current obsession : i actually don't think i have any current obsessions lowkey (a rarity for me) but i am always obsessed w leverage, elementary, and stray kids. a couple days ago i was scrolling tumblr and found a couple of very in-depth character analyses of elementary and i was so excited! character analysis is my fuckin' jam! also if you want my rants about bl or asian dramas in general i do that here: @yeahhabsolutely

currently reading :

1. Son of a Wanted Man by Louis L'Amour - he is my #1 favourite author and i love his books so much, i literally own all of his books, and i'm almost done reading all of them! i have like 10ish left. he was the most famous/most popular western author of the 20th century! if you want book suggestions, hmu i am always down to talk ab him and his books!

2. Sick Houses by Leila Taylor - literally such a cool book, it is about the architecture of horror-related houses and structures! i actually can't watch horror because i am a grade-a wuss, but this book combines architecture and sociology which is one of my fave combos! i am almost done it, but have been so busy that i haven't gotten around to finishing it yet. i can't recommend this book enough it is SO interesting! this is part of the book description on Libby: "Sick Houses crosses the threshold of eerie spaces to explore how different types of architecture become vessels for terror and how these spaces, meant to shelter us, instead become the source of our deepest fears."

currently working on : nothing nothing at all meep meep no thoughts (eta: i am actually working on a crocheted baby blanket for a friend! i literally remembered immediately after i posted this lol)

last google search : kinda depressing, but i looked up house fires in my city bc there were some recently and it prompted me to get renter's insurance (i moved recently and it had slipped my mind until this reminded me). 4 houses burnt down and also damaged other houses and cars on the block so that sucks 😬

tag 10: ... gonna be honest i don't really talk to/interact with very many people on here so there's not 10 - @windydayandrain, @mossterious, @kitty-muzz, @stompmesqueezeme, @fullbodycringe, @lightningbeluga (i think this is all my moots but if i forgot u i'm so sorry 💜)

bye now!

[fullbodycringe]

Yay fun!

Last song: ummm do I count the last one I chose (Tamebsz by Angine de Poitrine) the last one that I heard on streaming radio (Hair Down by Samm Henshaw) or the one stuck in my head on repeat (Magic of the Sale by Teethe).

Currently watching: Elementary (second watch), Bob's Burgers (first watch), Starfleet Academy (first watch), Colombo (first watch), Flight of the Conchords (first watch)

Currently reading: The Seven Surrenders by Ada Palmer. If "enlightenment-era hot mess sci-fi" were a genre, this would be it. Ok ok, it's a lot deeper than that, but, man, is it deliberately messy

Current obsession: I know it doesn't really fit the theme but... Pickleball? I love how I can just show up to the local public court and join a team like I'm playing fortnite fills or something, except I'm getting exercise and no one is saying the N-word. My opponent might be 12 or 75, and that's part of the fun for me.

Currently working on: learning FreeCAD because I'm reeaaally late to the party on 3d printing and I wanted to learn a tool for making designing stuff. It's hard, lol. Putting ethernet cable in my house because the walls have that kind of plaster that hates wi-fi but I'm still pretty early in that project, it might not go anywhere. "Working on" getting my ass back to a museum cause it's been a few months since I consumed high culture.

@the-nerdy-autist @geekysteven @songstarliner @18electrons @biitumen @caketopus-bleg yeah I suck at social network stuff

why is this post completely broken in every way imaginable

[cecilsrandomeverything]

Broken notes… deactivated account… removed image….

Finally, we have them all.

In addition: OP’s name is just… gone. No “[insert username]-deactivated[insert a bunch of numbers]” as is the standard for deactivated blogs.

Just the world “deactivated.” Look upon their post, ye mighty, and despair.

Metahuman with super healing powers whose entire job is that once a week they go to a nearby hospital and are put into a medically induced coma for 24 hours while all their organs and blood are harvested, and kept there until they've healed up again.

They get paid a small stipend by the Heroes Council for this, and they live off that.

No crime fighting, no obvious heroics, and they only took a Super Identity because it's technically hero's council policy. Nobody's ever seen them in a cape.

Every so often the Heroes council will release an official report to the public, and there'll be another bunch of news articles wondering how some unknown super calling themselves 'Meat Factory' somehow consistently holds the record for most lives saved across the city.

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

It is essential to my vision that they are not at all sanctimonious about this.

Like, they regularly act like they're getting away with something. They joke about how they get to earn money in their sleep. They show up to their hospital visits in deliberately ridiculous disguises, on the excuse that they need to 'protect their identity'.

Part of their employment contract is that they get served the same post-operation vanilla ice cream that they normally hand out on the childrens' ward. Also a sticker. Their overnight bag is covered in stickers.

[shinyhappygoth]

Okay, Meat Factory is awesome and hilarious, but if they're being harvested for and regenerating absolutely everything, may I suggest an alternative super name: Theseus.

[fullbodycringe]

This person would be best friends with One Punch Man

She's adjusting.

It's weird to think about mammals, animals which, if you view it from a certain angle, are named for their physical dependence on their parents, as being more precocious than another biological class.

[fullbodycringe]

Like should I be thinking of nests as external wombs? Like a marsupial's pouch?
