i told you to never show your face in these parts again.

“The Gretsch G5135PS Patrick Vaughn Stump Signature CVT Electric Guitar comes from the heart and soul of guitarist and frontman, Patrick Stump of the award winning, multi-platinum selling band Fall Out Boy. The vision Patrick had for the STUMP-O-MATIC Electromatic was a versatile solidbody guitar capable of discharging not only classic biting Gretsch tones but also an array of thick, fat, colorful, bombastic sonic blasts at the flick of a switch.”

man fuck Hasbro and fuck all these CEO's laying off game devs fr

also:

“In terms of the game's (bg3) indirect impact on D&D, the popular livestream Critical Role is often credited for a D&D renaissance of sorts after its meteoric rise to popularity in the mid-to-late 2010s. I can only imagine the massive success of Baldur's Gate 3 will be paying dividends for its tabletop roots for years to come. It's some of the best advertising you could possibly ask for”

The failure is at the top

if the world of a frog's origin is significant, that adds some new food for thought; but while i'm on the final frog, since it's such an important mystery that i've yet to weigh in on as far as this blog goes, my basic assumption has basically been thus. knowing that the trolls' session was a perfectly engineered performance with an intended and planned-for outcome, it seems ridiculous to think that Karkat and Kanaya really did look as hard as possible for their final frog and somehow just fail, causing something to be wrong with the universe they created.

in a similar vein, with the kids' session being the rush job that it was, it doesn't seem to track, logically, that Jade should be able to locate the frog she needed so quickly and incorporate it into her magnum opus tadpole so inconsequentially. and indeed, we know the story isn't so simple, because someone deliberately sent the frog where it would be easy to find. so the question is just who and when.

it also needs to be considered that despite all of Karkat's bellyaching about giving the universe cancer, nothing really seems to be intrinsically wrong with his creation - even calling it "his" creation is a stretch. he's being egotistically fatalistic. Karkat thinks Jack is the cancer, but we know that guy had nothing to do with him, and while we may be tempted to draw connections with the kids' "cancerous" battlefield, we know with hindsight that the involvement of a self loathing teenager isn't at all a necessary component to the growth of a game-breaking Tumor.

so the question begs to be asked; if you can create a completely functional - if a little dysfunctional - universe without this oh-so-special final frog, what is the point of the frog at all? the unique extracanonical nature of Jade's pearly white frog suggests this final piece of the puzzle was what allowed our heroes to finally break free of English's ouroboros of sex and death; but then why do Karkat and Kanaya seem to think they needed this frog, and why did it only show up when Jade needed it?

it's obvious to me that Kanaya's disappearing frog and Jade's appearing frog are one and the same; the key to the escape hatch in reality was snatched away from the trolls because escaping the cycle was never in the cards for their session, and bestowed upon the humans by an unknown but presumably sympathetic party. the question just remains, as it has for over ten years now, who exactly is this party supposed to be?

Soo did y'all know you can get a soldering iron for 8 bucks? I didn't. I do now. I'm about to burn the shit out of myself.

it's fun to run it's fun to play, it's fun to make things out of clay it's fun to fill your car with gas

it's fun to break things made of glassss

now the burning will commence

horsey

first time doing stained glass first time using a soldering iron. It looks like shit and i could not love it more

Also i think it might be permanently attached to that table, but y'all know how it is you win some and you lose some .

the horse has been unstuck from the table and i think I'm getting better at this ^^

this post is from may 3rd so i thought I'd update it a bit.

I ended up using the glass not used in the horse to make this as my first Real stained glass thing, finished may 17th:

May 19th:

and now this is what I've been picking at on and off when i have the time to do so since:

i think... there might be a theme here.

(this was finished in March 2023,)

Anyways happy birthday to me having a mania fueled sleep deprivation and pots episode in the craft store.

and some more i can't be fucked to figure out when they were made:

they desperately need shonen for girls we need it so badly. i love stupid superpowers with overblown explanations. i love characters who monologue about how they got kicked in the dick on purpose actually. i love it when characters say shit like 'if you dont try as hard as you physically can to kick my ass ill NEVER FORGIVE YOU!!!'. and i think some of those characters should get to be teen girls!!!

i mentioned soul eater in the tags because its always been billed to me as 'good shonen with a female protagonist!' but now im feeling as if i was correct to immediately fall of of trying to watch soul eater and that it had in fact been a bit overhyped to me throughout the years

Rose would be a shitty girlfriend but people really miss the flavor with exploring that when they take it as Rose not liking Kanaya as much as vice versa as opposed to her being painfully into Kanaya but not knowing how to like. Empathize with other people properly and being too self-absorbed to attend to any of Kanaya's needs, or even really notice when her own behavior is hurting her.

I think it's pretty well-established that Rose is super into her. Girl who drank her ass off before their first date bc she was nervous and constantly turmoiled over whether or not Kanaya was going to break up w her and wanting to make things better between them even leading up to her death, only people to say that she doesn't like Kanaya. If Kanaya broke up with Rose she would perish. Lines like "I never even got to tell her I love her" tell us nothing if not that Rose was painfully in love with Kanaya, but could never find it in herself to tell her. Whether this is because she was trying to protect herself on the chance that Kanaya got sick of her shit and decided to break up or because Rose was so out of it constantly she just could never get it out is up to interpretation. But Rose being a shitty girlfriend and her relationship with Kanaya being extremely important to her aren't concepts that are mutually exclusive. If anything I think they play hand in hand.

I also just think people need to give Kanaya more autonomy than they do. Don't get me wrong the power dynamic IS inbalanced. Rose is insane and constantly making mistakes and impulsive decisions and Kanaya is always left picking up the pieces when she does something crazy. Rose hurts Kanaya to an incomparable degree. Kanaya has far more patience for Rose than she probably should, but she isn't a doormat. The entire interaction Kanaya and Rose had on the meteor, where Kanaya flipped out on Rose for drinking right before they were due for a big fight, tells us so much about what their dynamic was leading up to this imo. This is a conversation they've had countless times before, Kanaya's anger is always followed up with some fearful suggestion from Rose that Kanaya is going to break up with her. Kanaya is a girl dealing with a partner deep in the throes of alcoholism, she's painfully compliant, but their interactions both leading up to them getting together and once they do both on the meteor and off of it show that the relationship anxiety is very one-sided. Rose is the only one worried about them breaking up, because she sucks and she knows that. Kanaya cares deeply for Rose but if either of them are going to be cooly cutting things off between them it's her, not Rose.

I love giving rosemary divorce particles, I can never be convinced that two girls who got together That Young could make it work between them without a ton of bumps in the road. I love that Rose is fucked up and self-centered and I like when people acknowledge this, but she DOES love Kanaya. To her own detriment. Kanaya is the one constantly disillusioned by Rose's behavior, the one who's commitment is constantly tested, not the other way around. Wish more people could acknowledge this... Rose loves Kanaya! And Kanaya loves Rose too, I think. But people really wooby her when they try to frame even the likes of pre-retcon rosemary like Kanaya is a nothing but a victim of Rose's vices, and that Rose somehow doesn't actually want to be in a relationship with her.

Pre-retcon rosemary was definitely on track to an untimely break up though. Rose wasn't going to be the one to pull that trigger though

same as it ever was
