Trying to get a better grip at drawing him #eddiemunson

a little fanart to end the day, that's how it all ended in s4 for me, you can't convince me otherwise

New astrology is which Mountain Goats song is on your birthday in @themountaingoats.bsky.social This Year 365 Songs, and guess what this lady got!

I’m not even trying to be a hater, phones are just one of those things that are more entertaining in real life than they are in fiction.

I took a creative writing class in college and the professor wanted us to work in vaguely modern settings. Even in 2010 literally half of everyone’s critiques were “why didn’t they just send a text message?” “A phone call could have solved this.”

I think Stranger Things is a successful show for a lot of reasons, but a big one is undoubtedly that it’s a lot easier to write a story when problems can’t be solved with a smartphone.

Defense attorney Nancy getting a call from her ex-boyfriend/sort of-friend Steve, who tells her all about this inmate in the GED class he’s teaching at the prison and how he’s like, definitely innocent, begging her to just look into it please Nance for old time’s sake-

Out benevolent overlords at the email factory are giving us FIVE DAYS OFF for Christmas and that first day back will probably kill me. I’ll get too used to the unwind, I won’t be able to handle the grind.

First day back after a long weekend is always SO ROUGH 💀 it was an objectively good/easy day and I’m still exhausted.

Reactionary cretins, 1974-2000: D&D is for satanic gays and weirdos
Reactionary cretins, 2001-2014: D&D is for nerds, gays and weirdos
Reactionary cretins, 2015-present: D&D is ruined because of woke, gays and weirdos

My stranger things ship? Oh, it's Steve/Chainsaw. I call it Chainsteve. It's literally just him being able to carry the chainsaw the entire rest of the season bc it's hot.

Robin is a happy lesbian in a Netflix show so she’s a goner I fear 😞

Finished up the first handful of episodes and I’m already plotting my “what if Eddie was there tho?” fic

there is never enough

girl who is going to be okay

I have a good irl friend who I generally think is a creative and smart guy. Playing in his campaign was terrible.

My unsolicited DnD tip is that sometimes you can be the best of friends with someone, but absolutely loathe playing ttrpgs with them, and that’s okay.

Yeah, I am a dark lipstick enjoyer but even I’ll admit they aren’t always a good choice. If the rest of the bridal party was doing a dark lip that might be different, but otherwise… you don’t want to stand out TOO MUCH yknow?

thank GOD

Definitely put something on your lips too! It doesn’t need to be anything crazy but they will look really odd in photos if you have products on the rest of your face and naked lips.
Priming/setting everything is also a good idea; being in a wedding party is A Lot and you’ll want that lasting power.

Generally speaking I think people are going to be chill. But I have had a movie spoiled for me literally 30 seconds after I asked someone to not talk about it because I hadn’t seen it yet so like. Lesson learned. Trust no one.

I might not be around much until after season 5 finishes. I’m not able to binge watch it and I don’t want anything spoiled, so I’ll be off social media until I’m caught up!

Tummy ache (not being brave about it)

At least once a week I remember Joann Fabrics is gone and I start the mourning process all over again.

Exhausted.

I snapped and yelled at him and my girlfriend had to intervene so like. Maybe my brain is trying to tell me something. Brain to Olive communication.

I’ve been thinking about taking a temporary step back from one of my irl friends, and I feel really guilty because we ARE friends and it’s not like he’s being a dick on purpose. We have different flavors of neurodivergence and he wears me tf out.
Well last night I had this dream where

We said cottagecore, they heard literal serfdom.
