bitch, you sunk my battleship!

So today I tripped. Fell flat on my face, it was awful but ultimately harmless. My service dog, however, is trained to go get an adult if I have a seizure, and he assumed this was a seizure (were training him to do more to care for me, but we didn’t learn I had epilepsy until a year after we got him)

I went after him after I had dusten off my jeans and my ego, and I found him trying to get the attention of a very annoyed woman. She was swatting him away and telling him to go away. So I feel like I need to make this heads up

If a service dog without a person approaches you, it means the person is down and in need of help

A Jumanji can be dangerous and high-stakes (to the characters), but it doesn't need to have a metaphor or lesson, it can easily just be a "Would this be fucked up or what?" situation (e.g. a lotta Goosebumps stories). If there IS a lesson/metaphor, it will be on a smaller scale like psychological issues (e.g. Magnus Archives), family/relationship issues (e.g. Zathura), or about a specific topic (e.g. Magic School Bus). Large-scale social issues may be present (after all, Everything Is Political), but they take a definite backseat.

snw season three is coming out this week and i can’t help but think about how tied to engineering uhura’s storyline has been and how important her love of engineering is - that through hemmar and their mutual love for engineering she was able to work through her trauma and heal. and how her song about finding herself was sung in the engineering bay.

Uhotty shippers, come and get your food.

but i always accepted that nothing was really gonna come out of uhotty because they weren’t a popular pair and most fans think their relationship is random. at most we’ve gotten a few crumbs in the comics (and they are very cute crumbs but crumbs nonetheless).

and then snw s3 comes, uhotty have some cute moments but uhura gets with ortegas’ brother. i decided i was fine settling for platonic uhotty. at least they have screen time together.

the following events ensued:

1. predictable lively discussion on the preparation of Wienerschnitzel, in which natives and wurstaboos are pro-puff and everybody else is like *confused dog head tilt* why wouldn’t you want the crust to stay ~attached to the thing you put it on? as with other fried foods?

2. thirty “Bad Schnitzel is my band name” jokes

3. thirty “Bad Schnitzel is my stripper name” jokes

4. one “ah yes, Bad Schnitzel! a lovely spa town” joke

5. this absolute masterpiece:
