I suck at writing (because I never do it)

[writing-everyday]

The apocalypse is supposed to be this big grand finale. There'll be fire, destruction, chaos, and maybe hordes of the undead (if we're lucky).

I had an old coworker who was looking forward to it. He would talk about how he'd survive in different scenarios, and in which ones he'd prefer to just die immediately. His survival plans would get more elaborate every time he'd talk about it.

I guess I kind of saw the appeal. After all, we wouldn't have to go into work anymore (and the job really sucked). I even remember watching a Japanese zombie movie a couple years ago where the plot was about a businessman who was thrilled that society had collapsed, it meant no more overtime!

I think at this point, everyone assumes the apocalypse would be manmade. Most likely through weapons of mass destruction, like nukes or bioweapons that we end up using on each other for whatever reasons we come up with to warrant our total mutual destruction.

But I don't think humanity will go out with a bang. I think the "apocalypse" has already started, if it's right to call it that. We already know the world is dying. We know people are dying. We know things aren't right. But what else does humanity do except what we've always done?

We'll just ignore the problems until there's no one left to ignore them for us.

But hey, maybe nuclear warfare is still on the table?

The Shores of the Verosee pt. 1

The king’s son fled on a darkened path Desperate to escape his father’s wrath No moon shone, no shadows cast Unarmed, he left behind his royal past

He was young boy, not yet grown Cursed with a fate now well known The Faumere had declared when he was three He’d kill his father on the shores of the Verosee

For years his father had begged and pleaded Yet the prophecy’s words he finally heeded Knowing his son would someday cause him harm, How much could the boy do with just one arm?

His soldiers performed the mutilation The Faumere watched in silent jubilation But later they whispered, “He’s still too free,” “He’ll kill you on the shores of the Verosee.”

The news of the king’s actions quickly spread But his people cared not for what it was the Faumere said They demanded relief, as they were hungry, sick, and cold Yet the king was busy pruning his son before he got too bold

The prince himself well knew that the die had been cast That the loss of his sword arm would not be his last The only thing left for him to do was flee And so he ran to the shores of the Verosee

Sometimes I hear about you Through other people They talk about how you’re doing

Where you’ve been What you’ve done Who you’ve become

And I realized that I don’t really think about you Very much anymore

But I guess I’m thinking about you now And I wonder if You ever think about me

I wonder if you ever think fondly of me Maybe I hope you do

But I don't think that about you.

a worse stranger things ending

Everyone is talking about how bad the ending for Stranger Things is. Some people were in denial that it was the end. Many are even rewriting it to be better. I will rewrite it to be worse:

The events of season 5 are exactly the same up until the final episode. The main cast has just made their way into the Abyss. Will and Mike are talking.

Mike: Wow, this place sure is strange.

Will: We've seen stranger things.

As soon as the words leave his mouth he immediately gasps and starts convulsing. The screen fades to black. In the next scene he wakes up to find himself sitting face to face with Henry, dressed like Mr. Whatsit. It is revealed that he's Will's psychiatrist and the entire events of the show were the result of bad 80's hypnotism therapy to help Will overcome the trauma of having been kidnapped in season 1.

This goes on for way longer than it should with Will going home and none of his friends knowing what he's talking about, questioning who Eleven is, and asking him if he's okay because he's acting erratically. He finally accepts that it was all in his head and montages through the following days only for him and friends to go to a 7/11 (which existed) causing him to think about Eleven. He talks about her again, in kind of a "haha isn't that so weird," kind of way.

Mike: You say some strange things.

Will: I've said stranger things--

And at that moment, the prophecy is fulfilled, the one that had been mentioned off screen earlier in the season. Eleven suddenly appears in the 7/11 in a burst of light.

El: You did it, Will! You've freed yourself from the hivemind!

There is no explanation for how this happened. The fans will come up with a reason for it later.

Mike and everyone else in the 7/11 suddenly remember who Eleven is, and they all hug. The power of friendship tears a hole in the space-time continuum, and they all go in a cool tunnel that shows all of Vecna's memories like in that episode of My Little Pony where Twilight Sparkle gets wings.

Everyone is in the magic memory tunnel. The entire cast of people we're supposed to like. Even the 12 kids are there for some reason.

Except the teacher guy (he's there too) and Dustin realize that these aren't memories at all! They're actually time portals and they discovered time travel somehow. This isn't explained. The fans will do so later.

They all find the memory/time of baby Vecna Henry in the mines. Eleven punches him in the face before he can grab the funky rock but after he already has gone pyscho on the guy who shot him. Since he's a kid, the punch knocks him out. She grabs the rock instead and using her super-duper magic powers, destroys it. This means that she'd never have powers to begin with, causing a paradox that makes the time tunnel implode. Oh no, reality has been destroyed! There's a fakeout ending where the credits start to roll.

But then it cuts back to the main cast, who are all waking up in their respective beds on whatever the day Vecna was supposed to destroy the world like nothing ever happened because it didn't. Only the people in the time tunnel remember anything about the Upside Down or anything else. Everyone hugs, except Eleven isn't there because since Henry never got powers, she never needed to be an experiment, so she's living as Jane wherever she was from prior to being a lab baby. Mike declares he'll find her again since he knows she's out there, and Hopper agrees to help. He and Joyce still get married and all the respective couples end up together.

Dustin reunites with Eddie too I guess, since he wouldn't have died. Everyone else who died due to stranger things shenanigans are also not dead, except Max's jerk brother died in a car wreck in this timeline so he doesn't come back.

It ends with a dance party at senior prom next year, with Hopper and Joyce chaperoning. Max and Lucas slow dance. Eleven/Jane came as Mike's date. Will dances with a guy character no one has seen before and will never see again.

Everyone does the macarena and the show ends forever. Fans immediately question why they did the macarena when the show is set in the 80s and the song didn't come out till the 90s. Other fans answer that it must be due to the timey wimey stuff from them changing the past. The Duffer Brothers shrug and don't say anything for once.

The end.

It's important to note that my sister and I have constantly been saying "You did it, Will, you defeated the hivemind!" in the exact same way Tails says, "You can do it Sonic, you can beat the Totino's!"

they say a picture is worth a thousand words. you'd think that would mean that a thousand pictures would be a million words, but you'd be wrong. a group of pictures is called an album, and that's just one word. and if those thousand pictures are slightly different images that when shown rapidly one after another make a moving image, then that's an animation, which is also just one word. the more pictures, the shorter the word, because then it's called a movie. but movies usually have a lot of words in them, right? you would think that this means a thousand pictures could have a million words. but this is also off, because a typical animated movie usually only has about 15-20k words total, which would only be 15-20 pictures, and movies have way more pictures than that. like a lot more. if a movie is animated at 24 fps (frames per second), then a 90-minute movie would have a total of 129,600 pictures. we'll round up to 130,000 for simplicity. so, by the above logic, the movie would be worth 130 million words, which we know isn't true. dividing number of pictures by number of words gives us 130k/20k = 6.5. this means a picture is actually worth about six and a half words. so whenever you post a picture and I comment something like, "that's pretty cool. thanks for sharing, bro," I've perfectly encapsulated the entire image, and there's no need for more commentary.

I don’t wanna take my lights down I like the way they look I like coming home after work, seeing them on Makes the early darkness a little more bearable Wish I could keep them all winter But “that’s just not how things are done” The holidays are over. The decorations must be, too Pack it up, put it away or else your neighbors will ask what's wrong with you.
