Welcome to the Hovel

@greygilberti / greygilberti.tumblr.com

Dem. Pan. 32. ♎ AO3: Jeannyboy I've always kept this super simple, but I feel like I need to warn visitors that this blog is just all over the place. A veritable goblin hovel of THINGS. I hope you enjoy your stay. Don't hesitate to reach out, I love making friends (but please, if I ghost you, I'm sorry, my brain gets too full sometimes, and I must abscond from all stimulation)

affirmations for the bus:

- it’s ok to be on-time

- you’re allowed to be at the stop at the time you’re meant to be there

- people won’t be upset if, when you get to the bus stop, you stop and let them onto the bus instead of making direct eye contact and driving away without stopping at the bus stop

- please

when you’ve honed the fine art of perfectly-timed reblogging of something aimed at one specific mutual and they immediately like it

Tags from @krawdad because i thought this was very cool from a puppeteering perspective

[ID: Image one is a Sesame Street gif of Big Bird throwing a frisbee to Cookie Monster, who promptly takes a bite of it. Image two is a set of tags that read: “#i want to appreciate how wacky a stunt tossing a frizbee to cookie monster is from a practical standpoint #guy inside the bird cannot see out of it. he gets a feed of what the camera sees. #he actually catches the thing the bird actually threw

#and the only reason i can tell they didnt fake it is because cookie monster doesn’t look at the frizbee when he catches it #because the puppeteer was focused on catching the dang thing at all #how many takes must this have taken to pull off #usually you achieve that with a cut #it’s so much easier to just cut to the other character catching a prop #i appreciate the effort #and i want others to notice it #it is also a left handed catch #on a right handed performer #someone else is doing the right hand.” End ID]

It’s also a left-handed throw because the puppeteer’s right hand controls Big Bird’s mouth

this is a really cool puppet stunt o-o

And again they didn’t even have to do this, the audience absolutely would have accepted a shot of big bird throwing followed by a shot of cookie catching, but they did it anyway, for love of the game

I know some fic writers get stressed about writing tropes they think are too popular or overdone, and I need you all to know that I just spent 4 hours reading every iteration of the same exact fic plot I could find, and they all brought me an indescribable amount of joy. Listen. Listen. Sometimes you want cakes of many flavours and sometimes you want Nine Carrot Cakes

hey bro, can you give yourself some grace? cut yourself some slack? maybe treat yourself with the same patience and love you offer to your peers?

Hey.

Don't post online about what protests you plan to attend.

Be safe. Be smart. Don't fall for the weird pressure to liveblog political actions when we live in a surveillance state.

And for fuck's sake, stop posting unredacted pictures of people at protests. It's not a fucking party. It's a political action and you could get someone killed. I have a personal friend who was doxxed and harassed for MONTHS in 2020 after their photo at a protest got passed around by neonazis. Do not be a part of that happening to someone.

the thing about body horror is that there's nothing you can come up with that can compete with what the human body will do to itself under a sufficient amount of stress

EXCEPT ‼️ radiation poisoning. that shit is fuuuuuucked.

fighting for my fucking life in the work gc because nobody else has curly hair. freaky ted why have you done this to me.

Freaky Ted is living up to his name.
