Me at the beginning of this year: I’m so gonna fix my life dude this is gonna be the year everything changes I’m not gonna let anything slip through the cracks it’s time to live
Me approaching the end of March:
I actually changed a lot this March but it turns out the process of changing feels like this image too
what people flagrantly misunderstand about culturally iconic ‘logicians’ like spock and sherlock holmes is that they are fuckinggggg annoying. like you canNOT write for nor adapt either of these characters properly without understanding that they are admirable in many ways, yes, but they are repeatedly and gleefully, ON PURPOSE, fucking massive nuisances to literally every sane individual around them, all the time. they love bothering people, they LOVE it, it makes them SO HAPPY, and THAT, not their brilliance, is what makes them the best. spocks a BITCH
lately my kids have been playing Baby Knife, which consists of somebody acting as a baby with knife hands chasing people while going “baby knife baby knife” over and over. is this a thing or are they just insane
we have a new teacher this year who has never had kindergarten before & she rounded em all up & told em No Baby Knife and No Zombies and idk how to tell her that 1. all kindergarten recess games boil down to Give Birth And Kill Each Other and 2. the absurd vaguely inappropriate games they make up are usually better than when they try to play an Actual game like soccer
Baby Knife is straightforward. theres a baby knife. baby knife chases you. thats about it. when they try to play Real Sports every single child is playing by a different set of rules unbeknownst to the others and none of them are playing by the Actual rules. everybody is mad at everybody else and running up to tell on their colleagues for cheating every 3 minutes. this doesnt happen when they play Baby Knife
if no one’s said it, it’s normal. It’s just Tag with flavor. Tag is boring so you gotta add imagination.
Our baby knife as kids was Raptor Tag. Raptors hunt in packs so the person who was “it” had to run around pretending to be a velociraptor and to tag people they had to actually tackle them and “eat” them for 5 full seconds (others could come to the rescue and save them in that time, but risked getting eaten too or instead if the raptor switched targets). Eaten players then became raptors, until the whole pack was teamwork-hunting the last wily or lucky kid. There were no winning survivors- the game was won as a group once everyone was a raptor.
My kindergarten played “wolves” where a pack of 4-12 children, usually all the girls, would try to chase down and “kill” the deer (usually me)
I was bulled extensively in elementary school, but 1. Mostly by my teachers and 2. Not during this, because we ALL had PBS Nature and as Deer, I was allowed to gouge, kick, bite, keep running even after being grabbed, or body-check the larger children into the picnic tables and other architecture.
You know, for realism.
In point of fact, I was usually The Deer because I was the best at evading/ not going down without a fight, whereas most boys would just start crying or tattle, which is no fun at all.
We were incredibly boring. We played “murder ball” which was just Capture the Flag over the whole school grounds (outdoors only) and violence was permitted using the ball.
It just occurred to me that I’ve seen Rocky II through Rocky V, but never the first one, and for the life of me I cannot recall why.
Don’t bother - it’s a confusing mess of a movie and it explains nothing about how rocky went from doing musical numbers in fishnet stockings to being a boxer.
Honestly I just can’t believe how long it took for them to add Bullwinkle to the franchise.
did session zero of a Silk and Dagger game today. cave was generated that prevents my drow from leaving her house because her fat fucking tits are bigger than the tiny tunnel connected to her front door
