Barry Bluejeans spent 12 freakin years alone

The way the finale finale plays out, Barry seems to forgive Lucretia immediately, but I imagine that it goes much deeper than that. Barry is a pretty chill dude; he doesn’t want to instigate drama, so he bottles up his emotions and goes with the flow. They got their happy ending after all, right?

Deep down, Barry knows that he should talk to Lucretia, to ask her why. When Fisher’s memory erasure first happened, he thought it was a freak accident. He made it his goal to find his loved ones and ensure their safety—until he found Lucretia leading a dazed Merle to the beach, feeding him stories about a past that Barry knew was fabricated. Hell, Merle hadn’t even seen an ocean until cycle 7. Yet here he was, watching as his dear friend nodded along hazily when told he had practically been raised by the sea.

Barry’s next goal was to confront Lucretia, to demand an explanation, but he wasn’t given a chance for many months, when he finally found her hiking along the dangerous routes of The Teeth, fresh on the trail of the Gaia Sash with a small group of vagabonds. He waited until nightfall before approaching her, but was caught off guard as she yelled for the aid of her traveling companions, firing a well placed fireball at his spectral form. Outnumbered and feeling betrayed, Barry fled.

Every time Barry tried to speak with his dear friend, the only member of his family with memories intact, he was shot down. It was only on his tenth visit that Lucretia admitted to remembering his identity. The worst encounter, however, occurred while Barry was in his human form. It was one of his earliest test trials with the resurrection pod, and he had yet to adopt his magic coin for sending messages to his physical form. He was lost in the woods near Neverwinter when he came across an elderly woman, face buried in her hands, sobbing. He instinctively approached her, and was perplexed by her expression of panic when she saw his face. They soon struck up a conversation, however; Barry got a fire going while she spoke about the horrors she had just faced in a place called “Wonderland.” As the sun set and darkness fell, they cobbled together a meal to share. She knew without asking that he liked his meat well-done and preferred his coffee black. She was quick-witted and clever, and had a smile like the sun. They spoke for hours, her doing most of the talking, relaying the wild stories of her adventures as she traveled the world.

Barry had left that clearing in the woods feeling better than he had since the day the voidfish’s powers erased him from the minds of his family, feeling for the first time in months like he was truly home. The next day, his phantasmal form rose from his arrow-laden corpse, and the subsequent magical eruption was enough to completely obliterate the murderous thieves who had orchestrated his death.

When he discovered that Magnus, Merle, and Taako had been inoculated, he felt hope for the first time in nearly a decade; he could finally approach his friends. It was only then that he discovered that Lucretia had fabricated a story about an evil order of liches adorned in red robes. She had made him the enemy of the very people who he loved the most. It was then that he grew closest to losing himself; he was stabilized by memories of love and support from his family, only to have his three brothers refuse to trust him. He was hopelessly alone.

Barry Bluejeans was isolated from everyone he loved due to Lucretia’s actions, and while she had the best of intentions, it still stands that Barry spent 12 years alone and afraid. But he puts on a smile, because the past is in the past. It’s not until one cold winter’s night after tossing back a few too many drinks that he finally opens up…to Taako. Taako, the only other person who can even come close to understanding the weight of what Lucretia’s real crime was.

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

No one will know which is it

This guy inspired me to repair my own macbook. First of all, you should know that I am not… like, I have to look up HOW to look up what my computer specifications are. Tech, that ware either soft or hard, is not a subject in which I experience comfort or competence. But my puppy peed on my keyboard, and I asked the apple store, or the fucking mac cafe, or the godsdamn Computer House Chill Zone or whatever cute ass name they have for their bullshit store, and they said it would be TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE MY KEYBOARD. I’m not even exaggerating.

So I asked the internet, well how hard IS it to repair? And I saw this guy’s video, and while I am no techie, I AM fueled by spite, so I was all “oh, they do that shit on purpose specifically so they can charge me $1200 bucks or make me buy a new computer hunh? FUCK THEM” and I bought all the tools I needed for about $25 and I bought all the parts I needed for about another $25 and I watched a few tutorial videos, and I replaced my own keyboard.

So, once you are doing the actual deed, it becomes pretty obvious that they are finding creative ways to make this much harder than it has to be on purpose. On thing that stood out to me is, instead of all the tiny screws being the same size, there are about two dozen very slightly different sizes. They could easily be all the same size, or like, two sizes at most, but no.

These mother fuckers will take a panel that screws into place and they’ll use a different size screw for each corner. They are so close that you almost cannot tell them apart visually, but they each will only screw into the matching corner. Like, it’s a pretty clear “fuck you” to anyone trying to do repairs.

anyway, this guy is also fueled by spite, and doing holy work, and I have mad respect

This is awesome. Man is doing good ass deeds 24/7 because he’s giving people control.

I keep remembering the Mage Hand scene and generally just how adorable the fact is that Taako is trying to teach Angus magic at all, so I drew it out to get it out of my system.

Watching this to the end fucking obliterated me. You will not guess what company this commercial is for in a billion years. I promise.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME 

I FEEL LIKE IVE BEEN HIT IN THE FACE WITH A BAT

What. The Fuck. What the Actual Fuck.

However well a Warrior Cats movie would do with book fans and critics, you know there’d be the suburban mom who write a bad review because she didn’t look up anyting about cat watership down and took her seven and eight year old to see a cute movie about cats but instead of getting them to shut the fuck up for an our and moving on with their lives Timmy is traumatized and crying and Kaileighghlaugh has inducted all the other neighborhood kids into a cat cult

….okay, someone needs to explain Warrior Cats to me…

there are cats. a lot of cats dont like each other. some cats can see the future and other magic shit. they fight a lot over food and romance and stuff. the book series follows multiple generations of cats and different perspectives but the general theme is that the cats have different jobs and they have babies and do battle

This is a good explanation, but massively undersells the sheer scale of Death and Suffering also going on. People don’t call it Cat Game of Thrones or Cat Watership Down for no reason. Someone dies at least once a book. Kittens die far too often for my comfort, frankly. Ferncloud’s kits starving to death during the New Prophecy arc will fuck me up for life. Sometimes cats just die fuckin out of nowhere for no damn reason. No one is safe! Bam, a snake pops out of a rock and bites them. Bam, they slipped on a mountain path and plunged to their death. Bam, an eagle swooped out of fuck all nowhere and carried them off. Bam, they fell through the ice while playing on the lake. Bam, they drank fucking car battery fluid, or ate yew berries, or just walked into the wrong tunnel and were never seen again- ALL OF THESE ARE CANONICAL DEATHS. SOME OF THOSE HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. And honestly those are all fairly tame ones, more shocking because they happened suddenly when you weren’t expecting it! The really grisly ones, like the two apprentices that get mauled by dogs, or Scourge’s fight with Tigerstar, or Hawkfrost and the fox trap? Those linger. They take their time describing the viscera. If you want to know the scope of the ridiculous amount of dying that goes on in Warrior Cats, just check out the ‘Members of Starclan’ category on the fan wiki. Starclan is the cat afterlife. There are three hundred and eleven pages under the Members of Starclan category. Warrior Cats does not fuck around.

I’m 24 years old. I read these in 6th grade. And I STILL can’t unsee Scourge killing Tigerstar. Like holy shit man it was brutal.

Did anyone else only just realise that it was car battery fluid that poisoned riverclan in the new prophecy arc or just me??

Breathesdisaster on instagram ( The Allison ) and I did a quick allydia photoshoot after our last con, and I had to share the photo we did inspired by THIS beautifully sad fanart by @liabatman .

I have no words! I’m crying and choking! I am incredibly pleased to see such an amazing work inspired by my drawing !!! Thanks you! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *______________*

We’re so glad you like it. <3 The piece has been on my mind since the first time I saw it and we both absolutely had to recreate it.

Five loves his siblings more than anything else in the entire world like literally he was chill with the world dying so long as his siblings survived.

Yet at the same time he tries his very fucking hardest to not spend more than four seconds with these absolute disasters. In the long run abstract they’re all he cares about in the world. In reality one time Klaus talked about his ex for seven seconds and he literally teleported into a cab and left. This show really gets siblings, huh

everyone born in the 90s has an intense inherent desire and ability to play the sims for hours at a time

u ever see a character that’s so much Your Type it makes u genuinely mad at ur own predictability
