She Love Me Like a Hit and Run

Doctor Who. Firefly. Kindle. Reading. Long naps. Rainstorms. Music all around, don't care if it's hip or not. Skullcandy headphones. Still buy cds. Doing the unemployed dance. Pretending to be graphic savvy. Purses. Chocolate. Kittens and cats. Psych. Role-playing games. Too old to be on tumblr. Too young to give a fuck. SLYTHERCLAW { wear }

It's exhausting always feeling like everything you say or do or think or are is wrong and bad and stupid and messed up and broken.

I'm filing this under "things people have probably pointed out before," but on a rewatch of The Owl House, I just realized Hunter sinking in "Thanks To Them" and then dying (however briefly) was literally just Trial By Water from all the witch trials. And congrats, kid! You passed! As we know, you're not a witch! Kinda sucked you died (however briefly), but the witch hunter helped flush out another non-witch!

Seriously, I love this show, and it'll never not be infinitely rewatchable.

And I'm so excited for Knights of Guinevere coming out in September. I won't be holding it up to TOH because I know it'll be it's own thing, and I'm hyped for it. I don't know how often it'll be releasing episodes, but I'm honestly not bothered, because new Hazbin Hotel is coming out soon, as well as new Helluva Boss. But also, and maybe I'm weird, sometimes it's nice to wait? Not for forever, but it can be a lot of fun to simply get excited for the next episode to drop. However, I'm not feeling a pros and cons of serial vs streaming right now. I have a migraine, and it's not fully gone, so I'm not fully with it.

Honestly, I don't know where this post is going. See the part about migraine. Brain is all over the place. So that's gonna be it for the moment.

Doing some crocheting and enjoying a frosty from Wendy’s.

Just started on this one. I’d meant to start another book (and I will), but I picked it up from the library on the way home. I hadn’t expected it to be ready for pick up so quickly since I put in for it Thursday night. But I’m not mad. I can usually read more than one book at a time. I just haven’t in a minute or two.

I really enjoyed The Whispering Skull as well as The Screaming Staircase. I’m pretty sure I’ll want to own the rest of these books when I’m done, but I’ll hold off for now. Until I get my condo fixed and ready to be lived in again. And some new bookcases. I really need those. Even though I lost a lot of my books, I still have a lot that need to be placed in proper places. And I’m sure I’ll still get more as time goes on.

Part of me wants to be like let me write a serial analysis and all this stuff but most of me is just here to say I’m enjoying the ride. I’m enjoying the books.

[howdoioperateher]

Started book two on Friday I think it was. Left off on this one during my last read. Just as Lucy and Lockwood were meeting Flo. I’m still not a super fast reader, but I’m enjoying the read. I got this one and another book from the library this past week, so I have to be a little faster since I don’t own it. Yet. Definitely want to eventually, but I can wait for now. Wait until my place is rebuilt. I’m wanting to get some good bookcases and a proper desk. Especially since a coworker is going to see about donating books to me even though Mom is saying no more books. Psh. You can never have enough books lol

[howdoioperateher]

One of the books that made it through the flooding of my place. Mostly because I had it on me when I evacuated. I kept starting over for the read along (for different reasons, including focus), and now I’m reading it. I don’t own the others, so I’ll have to borrow the rest from the library. Eventually, I’ll get the others and have a full collection.

That said, I am not doing great for the group read lol Pretty sure the timetable has it as “whelp we’re done with book one,” but, sometimes, I do my own thing. And I’m also not usually a fast reader. But I’ll get there!

[howdoioperateher]

Basically my whole place is ruined from Milton. Bottom floor of a condo. Cant afford insurance. Basically everything is gone. Trying to be optimistic but is really hard right now.

[howdoioperateher]

I just had a thought about TUA s4 and Five. This is very haphazardly put together but I’ll hide it for some spoilers.

IS THERE A TIMELINE WHERE FIVE’S NAME IS MAX? DID HIS IRISH BUTCHER MAMMY NAME HIM MAX AND HE SOMEHOW ENDED UP IN THE SUBWAY AT THE END OF EVERYTHING AND OPEN A DELI BECAUSE IT’S WHAT HE KNOWS?????

Is this the name his mum would have given him? Did she? In a world where he wasn’t adopted but still existed? Or was it a name given to him in timelines where he was adopted? DID WE GET A NAME REVEAL?!

Fandom never surprises me. If you have to fundamentally or otherwise tear apart one ship just to promote your own and to make yours stand, that’s sad. And, for me, it’s already off to a terrible start. There’s enough room in fandoms for all ships to sail on their own merits without destroying other ships in some battle of “but mine is superior”. They’re (almost) all valid. (And only almost because some are problematic, and I won’t defend the problematic ones. We all know which ones those are in our respective fandoms.)

My car decided to give me a mildly belated birthday present by not working on a day when everything is closed. Yay. This year’s going fucking fantastic already.

[howdoioperateher]

Today’s like, “Happy birthday! Enjoy spending it alone with shallow well wishes from people who don’t want to spend time with you!”

[howdoioperateher]

I’d just like to stop crying...

[howdoioperateher]

I feel like 2021 looked at 2020 and all that happened and went "Hold my beer."

[howdoioperateher]

Another year out the door, and still I’m left wondering what’s wrong with me and why can’t I make and keep friends. It is, once again, a me issue. Maybe I try too hard. Maybe I don’t try hard enough. Maybe I speak too much. Maybe I don’t speak enough. Whatever it is, I know it’s me. So here’s to another year sucking as a human being and another year trying to be my own friend since no one around here else really is.

Pandemics didn’t help because I couldn’t go out to meet new people, but it doesn’t excuse any time before.

Just me and my books and my games and my tv shows. And it feels like that’s how it’ll always be so why even bother anymore.

Netflix needs a filter for “I wanna feel good, but I don’t wanna cry about it”.

Does anyone know where to find good quality caps of The Umbrella Academy s2 trailer? Or a good way to obtain them from say YouTube?

[artemis-in-distress-deactivated]

On desktop, full screen the video, set the quality to the highest*, hit the spacebar to pause, comma (,) key and period (.) key to go back and forth frame-by-frame (arrow keys fast-forward and rewind by 10 seconds), so you can get just the shot you want.

If you have Windows, you can use the Snipping Tool to take and save a screenshot. If you don’t have, hit the print screen (also known as prt sc, prnt scrn, etc) button on the top right of your keyboard at the end of your function keys (f11, f12). Open any image editing program like Paint and paste (ctrl+v) the screenshot.

* Click the little gear icon on the bottom right of the video and select Quality - 1080p.

I’ve taken about 50+ caps, so I can upload them if you want.

[howdoioperateher]

Thank you! I’ll have to try this soon. See if I can get it to work well with me tonight. 💜 I’m used using other programs, so this right here is new. Thank you!

If it’s easy to upload, I’d love them and credit you wherever I use them. If it’s a hassle, though, no worries!

Regardless, thank you for your reply! 💜
