Competitive Sports Are Not My Thing At All But Holy Fuck I Love Bot Fights- Killing Machines With Googly

sometime i have fully gotten over an childhood interest to the point of almost forgetting it and then i see something completely innocuous related to it one day and then the Obsession™ returns, like a basketball to the face with the only warning being someone far away hollering "heads!" mere seconds before it hits

i have never been hungover bc im built different but this morning i woke up with a very sharp headache and a general awfulness in my body which feels very reminiscent of how people describe hangovers however i did not drink yesterday, i dressed up as hatsune miku in a silly christmas outfit and hung out in a big room of nerds

everyday it is me vs the devious inescapable joint pain. i call this piece "joint pain is kicking my ass" and i had to stand up and walk to scanner to post it but i just want everyone to know that i was very strong and didn't cry even a little bit. i have the knees and ankles of an elderly man.

sometimes i'll read smut but every time i do it is for purely anthropological reasons and im stroking my chin in fascination the whole time and occasionally saying "hmm yes..yes.." and scribbling done some notes

catcallers need to get better at annunciation

[twirls my hair and sighs longingly] i want a sparring partner

i just died and was reborn anew and yet no christians have approached me and welcomed me as their new lord and savior which is honestly good as i do not want to be a lord and savior however the hypocrisy bothers me

forgot to eat bc i was too busy contacting nasa to get them to fix a mistake i noticed on their website

may i put forth the blue-black grassquit? they are finches and i think they fit his whole celestial aesthetic thing. also they look just black in certain light and most black birds are associated with bad luck

it would be an easy pull to say that if eugene were a bird he’d be a crow or raven (or some variety of finch) BUT i think he’s a common loon due to his mysterious and enigmatic nature and the fact that if any bird could talk to ghosts it would be a common loon (their calls are used in horror movies all the time bc of how creepy they are) and also it kind of suits his general color scheme, plus they have a very “spooky and elegant and beautiful but also dumb as rocks” vibe.

if you were dead set on keeping it in family corvidae (and who could blame you!) i’d say a eurasian magpie due to both the aforementioned color scheme consideration and the fact that magpies seem to display above average levels of both intelligence and empathy and are seen as good or bad luck by various cultures (which i think suits eugene yknow he’s complicated!) and often associated with witchcraft.

if you REALLY want it to be a crow (respectable this isn’t a crow hate page EVER do NOT take that away from this post) i’d go with a hooded crow bc he wears a cloak. thank you all for your time pictures of birds below the cut

"ohhh this strange beast drains the blood of it's victims and looks like a big cat" listen im just down to believe in cryptids as the next guy, more even, but thats the description of so many "strange beasts that couldn't be any known species" at this point and not enough people are addressing the fact that BIG CATS TEND TO GO FOR THROATS, WHEN YOU PEIRCE A THROAT IT TENDS TO DRAIN BLOOD VERY FAST!!!!

^!!!!!!!

also unrelated but i love the word exsanguination, one of my favourite words of all time, along with chutzpah and pizzazz
