lets mx it up a bit

Someone convince me to actually sit down and do an OC roundup because I have so many thoughts I want to share about them but I never actually sit down and write them up!

tell me about them!

Okay we are just going to ignore how long this took me 😅 so I have four OCs that I have developed into actual people with personalities and backstories - if anyone wants to know the CC I used to make them, feel free to ask!

Tumblr really needs a "dont ever show me this post again" option

listen this isn’t rat related but I’m going off the walls right now this is literally so fucking funny

orange bear puppet: i think tutter’s looking a little tired, don’t you?

tutter (mouse puppet): [panting and screaming]

Vote with your heart not with your pussy

i think when it comes to knowledge gaps (especially on tumblr) its easy to get insecure about not knowing everything. but the real secret is that you can get away with not knowing everything if you just dont insert yourself into conversations you dont understand with blind confidence. the internet also gives you the privilege of 1) googling/wikipediaing shit before you say it, and 2) not volunteering how little you know. you dont actually have to enter the conversation just to say how little you know. part of the stereotype of dipshit stupid american on here is that americans will say full chestedly that they dont know which continent tchad is in and then go out of their way to justify it with their lack of education. when no one asked them to say either thing. and even if someone did ask, you are never under any obligation to actually answer.

I crave to see our ‘86 flyboys in a natural disaster…

Imagine it: just another day at the beach, the guys are playing volleyball and periodically playing in the water and sand with baby Bradley as Carole sunbathes. 

When the ground suddenly trembles a bit under them… Hollywood’s a mountain Cali boy and he thinks nothing of it. He's felt some awful earthquakes in his day and that was nothing. Slider’s from the middle west and Mav’s from Kansas so unless it starts sounding like a runaway train in a green sky he isn't going to be of much help. Carole’s from Tennessee so she's in the same boat as Mav. Chipper and Sunny went up to buy lunch for everyone so they can't ask them, whereas Wolf’s from Texas and this ain't a hurricane. 

The only one who stops is Ice. 

Ice, who turns when he hears shouts from the small beach crowd a minute later and he sees the ocean start to recede. 

Everyone watches all the color drain from Ice’s face in one go and suddenly he's RUNNING. He grabs Bradley and snatches up Carole with a yelp, he's screaming at the top of his lungs at the flyboys, telling them to RUN. 

He practically throws Bradley at Mav and starts hauling the smaller pilot up the beach at full tilt, heedless of the fact that Mav’s feet are barely touching the ground at this point.

He's also screaming back at the crowd, bellowing at them to MOVE. 

Why you might ask? 

Ice is from Hawaii. 

He knows damn well what a tsunami looks like. 

So, I follow this “bad commercial interior design” Facebook page and-

Happy Birthday Big Bill!

funny you should mention that

LOU!!! LOU!! LOU!!

save: floppy disk -> up your ass

Do not the floppy disk up your ass!

MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE!!!!

PSA!!!

If you are approached by a service aircraft with no one in it it means something happened to the pilot and its trying to show you where they are!

Follow the aircraft!!! The pilot might have had money in their wallet.

It’s just crazy to me that Buck spent his twenties by himself, alone, wandering the entire western hemisphere from Montana to Peru and Maddie Han, who has been single maybe a year and a half of her adult life, wants Buck to “learn how to be alone.” If this show was more clever I think there would be a reckoning between the two of them over how Maddie seems to actively dislike that Buck may have found someone more important to him than her. Especially since it seems like she knows she holds the cards for him calling Tommy (and can feel them slipping with the way he said “I should call him” instead of “do you think I should call him”)

And I don’t want anyone thinking I dislike Maddie or anything, I say this because it’s very clear that the writing staff has designated Maddie to be the voice of Buck’s inner doubts. The show consistently uses her to suggest alternatives to reconciling with Tommy so that Buck can say he doesn’t want to do that. In 8.07 she suggests getting back out there so that Buck can say he isn’t ready for that. She suggests that he wait for someone special so he can have the open question of it that someone special was Tommy or not. She accidentally implies that the playdate with Jeeyun is a blind date so that Buck can once again say “I’m not ready to meet anyone.” In 8.11 she asks Buddie question to so that Buck can answer for the audience and she can ask “well did you tell Tommy that?” And Buck can respond with remorse over snapping and express that he did it because he was angry and didn’t really mean it. She assumes Buck means he’s going to call Eddie so that Buck can say no he means Tommy.

So all of that considered I Know that she only suggests Buck stay alone because the writers need her to, but in-universe it does come off as hypocritical and oddly unsupportive of Tommy, which comes with its own baggage when she is also saddled with the responsibility of asking if Buck is in love with Eddie and the two together seem to imply that Maddie is just straight up a Buddie shipper in a way that I don’t think was intentional on the part of the writers. My intent in making this post is to explore the possibility of further expanding this tendency for having Maddie suggest alternatives to Tommy into an actual conflict between to siblings.
