Every Time I Shower Im Like “yeah! I’ll Take Better Care Of Myself!! This Rules!!! Yeah!!!!” And

One interpretation of Daphne (and Fred but I’m focusing on Daphne) that I’ve never particularly liked that ofc the Velma show falls into is the idea that Daphne is super popular and therefore super bitchy. Because no she isn’t. Daphne may be “the pretty one” and not have as many book smarts as Velma, but she is still a part of this dorky amateur detective team with her three friends who stop adults dressing up like ghosts from committing property crimes or w/e. She’s kinda weird and probably would likely be a social outcast due to her hobbies despite her interests in makeup and fashion.

One interpretation I like of Daphne is, ofc, Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated. She is shown to have rich parents who are willing to practically pay for her success, and she’s shown to be really pretty and people like her and whatnot, but like she’s still not a super popular girl. Among her sisters she’s the least successful, her parents disapprove of her spending her time doing investigations with Mystery Inc. instead of trying to achieve something greater, and most of the time at school she’s seen talking to members of Mystery Inc. and not surrounded by other popular girls or w/e. She’s Daphne, so she still likes makeup and fashion, but that doesn’t default her to popular girl, and you cannot call default Mystery Incorporated Daphne “bitchy” even if she can get upset when someone bothers her.

Similar with Fred, he’s not a rich mean asshole, he’s literally the friendliest guy to the point that he sometimes doesn’t see that others wish him harm due to his own open friendliness. That damn movie where he’s a camp counselor at a summer camp that is kinda down in the dumps poor compared to another more successful rich camp nearby but he still harbors love for his smaller camp and the children attending it, dedicated to giving them a good experience, like that’s just peak Fred right there, friendly and upbeat and wholesome and cares for others. Fred is also smart, since he’s usually “the trap guy” and always coming up with complex traps to catch their villain of the week. He’s a strong leader, but not by virtue of being a dick.

Anyway HBO Velma sucks but I just wanted an excuse to talk about Scooby Doo characters and their good qualities so thx

fitting that the single most famous Hollywood landmark is literally just a sign that says HOLLYWOOD in huge obtrusive letters. of course the most self-obsessed culture on the planet is obsessed with their own name. utterly shameless, love that energy

Smashing Pots

Every now and then, people ask me if I should go to art school, and I usually say something like “Do you want to go to art school?” and if they say “Yes,” then I say “Yes,” and if they say “No,” then I say “Don’t.” This is why I am a crappy source of career advice.

However.

There is ONE class that I think nearly every writer, artist, and creative type out there would benefit from, and as it happens, it’s ceramics. Preferably with a strong wheel-throwing component.

No, really.

Back in ceramics class, in college, at the end of the year we would gather up all our dishes and pots and sculptures that we had labored over for weeks—and you really do labor for weeks, because you’re sculpting and drying and firing and glazing and firing again—and we would look at them. And what we generally realized was that we had created a lot of things that sucked. There is just a point where you hold this lumpy-ass thing in your hand and you realize that it has not added to the sum total of awesome in the universe—and that you don’t have to keep it. And then you wind up and fling it into the massive dumpster behind the ceramics studio and it smashes against the bottom and a demented exhilaration surges through you and you grab the next one and smash it and it is glorious. Now, there are people who do not smash their failed work, who cannot bear to do it, and so there was always a shelf full of sad lumpy clay things with a little “free to good home” sign on it. Some of them possibly were adopted eventually. Mostly, though, we learned to smash. Pottery, particularly wheel-throwing, is wonderful for this, incidentally. You fail over and over and you fail fast and you are creating quantity to lead to quality. You throw and throw and throw and things die on the wheel and things die when you take them off the wheel and things explode in the kiln and after you have made a dozen or two dozen or a thousand, none of them are precious any more. There is always more clay.

It breaks you of preciousness and perfectionism. You can’t fiddle for two hours with wet clay on the wheel getting it perfect. It’ll be an over-saturated lump of mud long before then. If the walls are thrown too thin, they are too thin. It’s not worth fixing. Start over. Do it again. Finish, don’t fiddle. I can’t do pottery any more because if I tried to hunch over a wheel these days, my back would go out so hard that I would never walk upright again. But I still think it was one of the most valuable classes I ever took, because it taught me to acknowledge failure, not to fear it, and then smash the hell out of it.

I need a Haikyuu!! wiki that documents what every character calls every other character. There are certain patterns (Takeda adds “kun” to their names, third years call kouhai by last names alone usually) but some characters are harder (such as Noya calling Tanaka “Ryuu” when Tanaka calls Noya “Noya-san”) I went through a few chapters and got a list started. Please feel free to add to/edit this list! It is very incomplete. Note: suffixes sometimes drop during matches.

yeah they dropped a new love language. yeah a sixth one. its biting

the cutest puppykitty 😭

I mean, even if someone was faking it, like ?

I say let them use the wheelchair, the bandages, the medical ID, etc.

Because once they see that when you can walk and be not in pain, etc. its actually much more inconvenient to use a mobility aid.

Using a wheelchair isn't easy, using a cane isn't easy, being legally underpaid because you have a disability, being belittled and talked to like a child, and paying thousands when someone calls 911,

They suck.

And if an abled-bodied person wants to roll in our wheels for attention, they may just learn a thing or two about our ableist world

he looks so good in all black 😵
