occasionally people will draw designs for Michael Distortion that look very similar to me and I just need those people to know that I’m a little bit in love with them.
I personally think the fact that Skyler was pregnant and then newly postpartum for the majority of the show gets glossed over way too often lol. Not in an "oh pregnant women and new moms are soooo emotional 🙄" way either, but moreover like how deeply deranged a lot of Walt's behavior towards her really is in that context. Like here is this woman who is pushing 40, experiencing an unplanned pregnancy and all the financial and emotional concerns that come with that, raising a son who has a disability and handling all of the unique responsibilities and challenges that are a part of that experience, coping with what was essentially sold to them as a death sentence for her husband, all while also having to get back into the workforce after an extended time at home. It's crazy how vulnerable of a position Skyler was in during the time when Walter was sneaking around behind her back, lying and engaged in illegal activities right under her nose. Walt consistently harps on the stakes of his situation but ppl seem to completely disregard the weight of Skyler's. She gave birth without Walt. Handled the sleepless nights and diaper changes and night feedings and newborn tears without him. When she desperately asks him to get diapers at bedtime, he can't even do that for her without traumatizing Jesse and going to a bar while he's out of the house. Sometimes I remember that Skyler was an aspiring writer and I just want to cry lol. Losing so much of herself in motherhood and caught up in Walter White's web of lies and abuse. that's a tragedy of Breaking Bad I seldom see discussed but it's one I think about every time I watch the show. Skyler White you will always be one of my favorites, I love you so much
I need The Mechanisms fan to know about this incredibly out of pocket fact I learned about The Toy Soldier directly from source.
She then followed it up with this, so it is a metal Toy Soldier with a wooden façade so it doesn’t look like wood.
Please do with this information as you will.
Rise April Art Challenge day 3:
Casey and Casey Jr!
No finished art today, instead I’m posting some sketches and notes for an AU/personal iteration I’m working on! That’s probably not as interesting to anyone except me, but these are some behind the scenes stuff that I normally wouldn’t post if I didn’t have a challenge to complete. I have a mini comic in the works for day 2 that I’ll post whenever I decide to finish it up.
These designs will almost certainly change, possibly a lot, but I’m reasonably happy with them. This isn’t so much an AU of any particular iteration as it is my own personal version of TMNT. I may have gone a bit overboard with the watermarks, but in my defense, these designs probably took around 5 hours total to get to how they currently are. You could say I’m a bit attached to them. The main inspiration for these was a mix of the 2012 and Rise designs, and I was probably at least somewhat influenced by fanart, as well. The actual story of the AU is mostly inspired by the 2003 Ninja Turtles.
I think I'm gonna get back into posting here but it's probably going to be a lot of tf2 related stuff, so apologies to everyone who did not follow me for that.
There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.
A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.
I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.
Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)
Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.
I guess garishly maximalist Ninja Turtles photo collages are going to be a recurring thing now.
I misread this as dessert and just kind of accepted it.
“In our far distant future, you will find yourself utterly incapable of consuming some five scrumptious grains of sand. I, on the other hand…. well, I do so nightly. And I enjoy it very much.”
You may think my desert of 5 grains of sand is pathetic now- but, in many years, it will be more than you can handle
Her name is Quarry and I love her so much even though she’s only in like 3 episodes

I show up now and then to yell my thoughts into the void and post the occasional fanart
