Can you imagine all of Luke's new friends abroad having heard about Layton from him having this idea of an all knowing genius adventurer who swordfights on the regular and can scale a kaiju robot in a car, imagining some Indiana Jones looking dude, and then when Layton does show up it's just this cylindrical guy in a dad shirt

The job offer came on a Tuesday, delivered via email with the kind of formal letterhead that made my hands shake as I read it. Director of Marine Research, Thornfield University. Everything I'd worked toward for the past eight years, wrapped up in a salary figure that made my studio apartment rent look like pocket change.
It was perfect. Exactly what I hoped for. And it was two hundred miles inland.
I stared at my laptop screen until the words blurred, then looked up at Kira. She was curled in the window seat of our cramped beachside studio, her dark hair still damp from her morning swim, watching the waves with that particular stillness that meant she was listening to something I couldn't hear.
"The Thornfield position came through," I said.
Her shoulders tensed almost imperceptibly. "The one you interviewed for last month?"
"They want an answer by next Friday."
Kira turned from the window, and I caught the flash of something—fear? resignation?—before her expression smoothed into practiced calm. Three years together, and I was still learning to read the subtle currents of her emotions.
"It's perfect for you," she said. "You've wanted this since graduate school."
"It's inland, Kira. Really inland."
"I know." She stood, moving with the fluid grace that was so uniquely her. "We'll figure it out."
Excuse me, what's MYTH? 👀
[rubs hands together gleefully]
MYTH is an album by @narcissistcookbook that I had the absolute pleasure of doing some voice and sound design work on.
If you like what I do, then you will completely adore their work!
AWWW HELL YEAH I listened to a bit now, and I have no idea what I'm in for, but on the next sleepless night, this I shall.
at the point and click adventure club straight up unsure what to do next
Goin' up to a girl like "She doesn't want to talk to me right now. She doesn't want to- She doe- She doesn't want to talk to me right no- That's the bartender, but I think I've had enough for toni- I can't leave, the party's just getting started!"
godsdamn, why is this so funny
Are you trapped on tumblr right now?
Is there something you planned to do before you got trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?
Are you yelling at yourself to get up and do the thing, but you can’t, because you’re trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?
Consider this your save point.
Put tumblr down, stand up, stretch, and go do the thing you planned to do. Future you will be incredibly grateful.

Your TAP analysis?
Alvina Wright wasn't the only one who made the right decision. So did Arthur. So did Amelia.
I think this ridiculous show about death is actually about choosing life, over and over and over again. Not always "a new life". But just. Life.
Change is Life. Stagnation is Death.
Most of the time anyway.
(when we were finally allowed to know what patience is, well I can't say I wasn't surprised about the specifics, but the *idea* of something like that, kind of just. Made sense.)
its all life. And when they're done, not always, but more often than not, its life worth living again. (And sometimes people still die but what are you gonna do)
also I think the implications of why TIP exists are so goddamn funny. They absolutely do NOT have patience yet they go as far back as the Amelia Project. Who needs patience when you have the power of MULTIGENERATIONAL SPITE at your disposal.
A long time a go an (as of yet) inexperienced surgeon turned someone's face into something that looked like a mole rat. (Have you SEEN a naked mole rat?)
That man then thought FUCK YOU I can do that better than you. Cue the brotherhood of the immortal mole rat. (Have you SEEN....)
Fast forward through history and now they go by The Incognito Project, a name that illustrates everything that is wrong with them to a tea.
They don't know WHY the brotherhood of the phoenix rebranded itself into the Amelia Project. They don't KNOW the significance of that name, who first used it, why it matters.
They want to be like their rivals sooooo bad yet they don't understand a single thing.
.....And then Mateo comes in and tries to blackmail Amelia into giving up Kozlowski.
Oh delicious irony.
He doesn't know about the mole rat man. Of course he doesn't. OF COURSE HE DOESN'T.
the one sided feud has been going for so long that the reason why it started has been lost to time.
....and I think thats funny as hell.
He doesn't know shit!!! (and comes from a long, spiteful line of absolute dimwits who also didn't know shit. It is unclear if he even knows that.)
