I'm Nobody! Who Are You?

I feel it is only fair to warn you that I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.

May you trust your own gut over the collective roar of everyone else's expectations. You are the only one who has to live inside your life. Make sure the choices you make are ones you can sleep with at night.

mutuals if you were a video game character I would do every step of your questline and get your good ending

[reallycoolsoup]

What would you do with non mutuals? Cause speedrunners are always killing me for my crystal scythe before doing my quest

[amygdalae]

Well now that I know you have a crystal scythe I'm definitely killing you for your crystal scythe

If you ever, and I mean EVER think that you fucked something up royally, remember that the organizers of the 1904 Olympic marathon:

- Had zero stations for water on the 26 mile (42 km) course

- Accidentally gave North American competitor Tom Hicks a cocktail made of egg whites, brandy, and actual fucking rat poison

- Had a guy come into the race late wearing a beret and cutoff slacks, sneak into an apple orchard during the race because no food had been given to him for 40 hours, eat rotten apples, projectile vomit onto the track, fall asleep for hours, and finish in fourth place OVERALL because most of the other runners collapsed of exhaustion or injuries

- Conducted the race on a dusty road, which caused so much dust to be kicked into the air that an American runner somehow inhaled enough to tear his STOMACH LINING open

- Accidentally released feral dogs onto the track

- Fucked the other competitors up SO BADLY that Tom Hicks—the guy who ate RAT POISON and was HALLUCINATING the entire run—came in first place

Unsurprisingly, this phenomenal display of incompetence (and stupidity) was put together by a racist for racist reasons. The whole event surrounding the marathon was intended to- to quote the article I read- “showcase white American excellence”, and included what the article calls “nonwhite performers” (so… presumably not athletes?) competing in events they had never done before “to flaunt their athletic inferiority to the world”.

Soooo yeah. Outside of rather outdated ideas such as drinking during exercise being bad (some people are saying the drink with rat poison was on purpose because they believed it would make the competitor run better, some people are saying it was an experiment and I don’t know if either point is true) the absolute incompetence on display is because the priority was… well… racism, rather than. You know. Competence. So. Through that lens it becomes less shocking.

Hollywood truly does always take the wrong lesson from its success stories

[vicholas]

I love thinking about “lost episode” creepypastas from a production pipeline POV. I wanna be the guy who gets handed a script about a main character brutally dying with no actual plot and is like “Yeah sure. Greenlighted.”

[vicholas]

“Everyone who watches this cursed Simpsons episode dies immediately afterwards” The storyboarder died on the spot right after they finished their work. Every single animator dies after they finish their cut, the studio just has to keep hiring new animators to replace the dead ones. They lost too much money already they HAVE to finish the episode that kills people.

Still wrapping my head around the fact the phrase "Hold Your Horses" is a play on the word Stable...

To be stable.

simon just following grace around like a lost puppy

[maroonracoon]

[masterofnone379]

Someone's gotta write (or point me in the direction of) a bloodymary fic where Simon (once he realizes/accepts that he is actually safe now) gets really clingy and Grace is lowkey annoyed by it at first.

Not that I don't like touch starved Grace yearning for connection, I'm just basing this on when Rocky first came onto the Hail Mary. Like imagine Simon just following him around, not wanting to be alone now that he's around another person who's kind to him again (after being in prison for however long and, you know, being sent to die in a blood ocean) and meanwhile Grace is like hey, I'm glad you're not panicking anymore but can you let me work please. Just has to deal with the same shit all over again after Rocky's entrance but this time it's weird in a new and original way because this guy is human.

Also idk maybe Simon not just being around him but being kind of touchy as well, like using touch as a way to remind himself that this is actually real and Grace doesn't mind necessarily but after being isolated for so long (and not being super social even when he was around other humans) with the only other person around being unable to physically touch him it would probably be a lot.

I'd just like Grace to be a bit more irritated in these scenarios, like he's kind and soft but he's also a bitch. This is very important to me. And I think it'd be interesting to have him like struggling not to snap at Simon, especially over small things like these, cause he doesn't want to undo the progress they've made but he also needs his space and all that.

"he would not fucking say that" but about injuries. he would not fucking recover that quickly. those scars would not fucking heal like that. he would not be fucking able bodied after that. he would not be fully lucid after that.

How is it that you can a music library of like 1,200+ absolute bangers but as soon as you put it on shuffle in a group setting it's like. anime opening you added in 2010. homestuck parody song. musical artist who was cancelled last year for kidnapping and eating children in his basement. Hamilton

[bumblebeebats]

I can't believe some people are actually reblogging this like "Tch. Omg, so embarrassing OP, I can't believe you would ever admit to liking Hamilton 😏 " like ok, first of all congratulations for hatching as a fully formed adult in 2022 from the pure white egg of a virgin swan i guess. Raised in a cave on a diet consisting solely of nuts and berries and leftist twitter clapbacks. "ooooooh, I've never had a complicated relationship with a piece of art that was phenomenally well-received at the time but aged like milk as later reflection revealed the fundamental flaws in its premise that were in fact present from its inception but which I didn't notice because I was 17 and hadn't heard of neoliberalism yet" Should we throw a party? Should we invite Anthony Fantano? Anyway second of all. you draw the line at Lin Manuel Miranda but you're fine with basement guy?
