Long, Crazy Days

I'm a writer and artist who spends far too much time online.

[meangirlnurse]

i woke up at 3:30 AM for no reason and i've never lived in the midwest but i'm considering making snickers salad because i saw a tumblr post about it

[meangirlnurse]

[meangirlnurse]

[meangirlnurse]

[meangirlnurse]

[meangirlnurse]

the dogs have woken up to stare blearily at me. they're not even begging for food they're just judging

[meangirlnurse]

thank you for your support 🫡

[meangirlnurse]

you know there’s actually something really satisfying about the meaty “thwap” sound of apple bits slapping against the apparently taut surface of some kind of unholy pudding/milk/whipt cream hybrid

[meangirlnurse]

oh kevin perjurer we’re in it now

[meangirlnurse]

critics are raving!

[meangirlnurse]

my ex was a goth influencer and once upon a time we went to salem massachusetts (of the salem witch trials) and she got recognized by multiple people off the street and like. in hindsight that's kind of charming? like yeah i guess this is the place where people would know goth microcelebrities. where else in the world. this isn't related to the snickers btw

[meangirlnurse]

@feraladoration tbh as soon as i saw the poll for which midwestern food was most disgusting i really thought snickers salad sounded kind of passable so i immediately shuffled off to target, zombie-like, in order to buy pudding and apples

this was like a couple weeks ago and ever since i've just been waiting to be activated like some kind of foreign food concoction sleeper agent

[meangirlnurse]

my cat thinks i'm making her breakfast and is now trying to climb my legs to get to the snickers salad

[meangirlnurse]

i’m not really sure what the snickers to apple ratio is supposed to be here i’m just following my heart

[meangirlnurse]

snickers salad sweep!!!!!!!!!!!!

[meangirlnurse]

update: whole bag

[meangirlnurse]

the unknowable cries of the human soul

[meangirlnurse]

[meangirlnurse]

for maximum comedic effect i just want you all to know that i haven't tried this at all while i work on it. i want it to be a surprise

[meangirlnurse]

update: poured myself a bowl, got distracted by making this post and put it down somewhere adn now i don't know where. dangerous game to play with multiple large dogs in the house

[meangirlnurse]

all right lads. its time

[meangirlnurse]

its bad

why does this have 32k notes? it’s just a picture of a knife in a ranch bottle, is there some unspoken joke that 32 thousand people share? what is going on here, i dont get it. it’s just a fucking picture of a knife in a ranch bottle. is there some spiritual connection people have to this picture? is there some ominous and mystical reasoning that this has 32 thousand notes? do people reblog this because it makes them look like some indie blogger? or is there just something funny to this? someone please explain

[diggly]

“It took two months to really hone and craft that scene, with many different writers,” Matalas reveals. “All of us contributed to it, including Patrick [Stewart] and Gates [McFadden] and Jonathan [Frakes, who directed the episode]. We rehearsed it many times. It was the most difficult scene of the season to get right. But it was important to get it right because it’s a pivotal scene for Jean-Luc and Beverly as characters, Matalas notes: “It needs to do quite a bit. You need to understand his point of view, which is, ‘My God, what have you done?’ And her point of view is, ‘What do you expect me to do?’ By the time she’s finished with the explanation, you need to truly understand why she would do that, and I think Gates’ performance is just phenomenal in that scene. It did get “emotional” on the set while filming the scene as well, Matalas recalls: “Both Patrick and Gates have strong feelings about their characters, and it’s not a traditional Star Trek: The Next Generation scene.”  — Terry Matalas, on Picard and Crusher's pivotal scene in Episode 3

So… I did a thing.

I told my sister I write fanfic.

Then I told my brother I write fanfic.

And then I told my fucking mother I write fanfic 🤦‍♀️ and she is now watching FTWS so she has context for all my stories.

Anyway, it got me thinking.

Who knows you write fanfic?

Your best mates irl

Your best mates on tumblr

Your siblings

Your parents

Your partner

Other family members

For the sake of completion let’s say all of the above

Just lemme see the results

You ask a complicated question that can only be explained in tag form

Only you and the four walls of your bedroom THANK CHRIST

I think our link is getting stronger. Maybe if we put some distance between us, that might weaken it.

As an added bonus, it would be cool if you told me your answer + your general place of residence. If you spent most of your life somewhere you currently don't live, tell me where you come from. You can be as specific as the state/province you live in or as unspecific as "eastern US."

I also encourage non-Americans to answer because I'm interested in what others feel is the better name/what they've heard Americans call it.

[usaigi]

On the subject of "People don't really like pwTrauma/Mental Illness," people's "activism" is so fucking transparent. Characters like Steven Grant are praised and coddled because his mental illness is cute and uwu look at his little bear paws aw he's so nervous vs character like Marc Spector are perceived as "bad" because he's a liar or rude or violent. Or on the other side, the "Marc has never done anything wrong, he's just a wet cat" people who attribute all of Marc's violence to Khonshu.

You can like Steven and think he's endearing and also acknowledge he called Marc a parasite and punched Marc after seeing their trauma.

You can like Marc and recognize he is a liar and is extremely guarded because of trauma. You can recognize he likely only became a mercenary because he was kicked out of the army and it was likely his only option while also acknowledging that he killed people.

Matt Murdock is a depressed man who lies and manipulates his friends and is also an earnest person who wants to protect his community.

Jessica Jones is an alcoholic to pushes everyone away but she gives a shit.

Wanda Maximoff was so hurt and lost her grief exploded and created a fantasy where she could be with her husband and have kids.

None of these characters are good or bad. They're people. And sometimes, people with trauma are assholes. People with trauma are bad friends sometimes. They can be manipulative, liars, clingy, insecure, aggressive, and violent. But guess what. Acknowledging the times they're "problematic" is not an attack on the character nor is it stigmatizing.

But, if you hate a character for exhibiting behaviors typically associated with pwmental illness, maybe you're not as good of a person as you claim to be.

[voxsanae]

I will be over the moon if the Jessica Jones in Born Again rumors are true...We got a glimpse of the Matt and Jess friendship and dynamic duo in Defenders and that deserves to be explored even more. Give Matt more platonic relationships/friendships! Right now he only has Foggy :(

[circe-rising-deactivated2023082]

Okay. Serious Poll Time. If you live in the New England area (maybe specifically within driving distance of Austin, Massachusetts) would you like to have a Grand Ol' Tumbler Meet Up™?

Yes! Sign me up to hang with the awesome NE crew!

Awww, wish I could, but a. I don't people or b. I don't live anywhere near there

I don't live there, but I would be willing to travel!

Thank @trinilikesalt for the idea 😊

Please pass it on! Who is this relevant to... @akamuffintop @julierthanyou @tessie-the-bee @emmmiiiiiii @bluegreen-marina @cattyfantastic @rothjuje @redsimple @myeyesarebrighter @brutalfulsmile @lost-in-drawers @northernmomma @reallyndacarter just in case ☺️

[circe-rising-deactivated2023082]

Hey now! I didn't want to forget about this! There are almost two dozen folks who are interested in attending a get together for the NE crew! That's a party!

This is where I'd really like the ability to manage polls @staff. Then I could start a group message directly so that we don't fill up everyone's dash with our rally cries.

So...if you replied you're interested in meeting up, umm, message me or @trinilikesalt ? Because this was his idea 😏. We could choose Boston or choose a place centrally located for the majority.

For now I am going to tag those I know of and we'll go from there. Pass it to your people.

@tessie-the-bee @akamuffintop @rothjuje @julierthanyou @brutalfulsmile @redsimple

Who wants to meet up?? Everyone I’ve met from tumblr so far has been super cool, let’s do this!

I did absolutely not expect to love the third season of Picard after only two episodes but I do.

That scene where Bev just looks at Jean Luc and then looks down and the penny truly drops for him and his pained facial expression..not a word spoken but ...dear god....:sobs heavily:

Will got there way sooner then Picard who simply could not ...would not believe what his heart surely already knew....

Riker: Why are you dancing around this?

Picard: Around what?

Riker: Are you serious?

Picard: Will, even if he is Beverly's son, then if these charges are real...

Riker: This is not what this is about, and you know that. Are you not seeing what I am seeing? Do the math, Jean-Luc.

Also , I kinda like that abrasive new captain of the Titan. He is not a complete douche and there are reasons why he acts the way he does but he is actually quite capable.

I am too emotionally invested in this damn crew...I have a feeling I will be in tears when this damn season ends.
