I am literally one of the laziest people with making backgrounds - either manually or looking for a good image, so I looked online for some generators and thought I would share them here!

to do list? done! (well had to push some stuff but the important stuff)
wildly dancing to: family ties - bastille
"The painter"
The interviewer was struggling to fish out a comment worthy of the painter's praise but he coudn't.
In the end he decided to ask a question instead.
"Why hang the amataur attempts on wall rather than completed beauties?"
The painter smiled,"I want my walls to hold meaning rther than beauty and my struggles hold meaning to me."
The interviewer merely blinked stunned by the painter's preferences and they both slowly trudged ahead.......

THE INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE ; AMC productions.
The look on lestat's face! Like he is angry that he's doing this when he wants to give louis attitude for being a mean bitch to him hours ago, but then he hears her and is a little, if not a lot, intrigued about her.
Now that they're playing daddies to little Claudia, they're are absolutely going to discuss the clothes, ah yes, the joy of parents.
This was probably the funniest part of the episode😂😂, lestat being his usual sarcastic self.
He really has been away from children for too long😂
No comment, teen problems😂
This fight! They act so much like a family now, parents fighting over their teenage vampire daughter. Despite the fact that lestat is overly annoyed most of the times about Claudia's antics he doesn't entirely hate the concept.
This scene is almost a depiction of the possible consequences, –although the argument here subsides–, of Claudia's curiousity.
Louis told Claudia to be careful when digging around and troubling lestat with questions because as knew all to well, that past troubles some people.
This was a beautiful scene. Louis introducing Claudia to the idea that love works the same for all –objective in basics and free for subjective interpretations of the nuances. He answered her questions with just a few words but did so gently, not rebuking her, not confusing her more, just telling what it really is. This scene says so much about Louis and his acceptance of his sexuality throughout his years with lestat.
He's embraces that part of his identity.
This show!!! I mean the way they've portrayed Anne Rice's vampires on-screen, as eternal beings with having subtle shades of humanity. Of being murderers, almost like apex predators in their own habitat but still having the similar concerns of failure as a parent, of hurting their loved ones. And sometimes, of hunting the wrong prey, which is clearly the humane side of them bothering.
EPISODE 4, S1
I'm myopic. So I need my glasses everytime I want to experience how a person with normal eyesight sees things. So, the situation is that to experience equality in terms of sight or vision, I NEED my glasses. It's not an advantage, it's a necessity. But to my father, it doesn't seem that way. He thinks I just need to wear glasses when I'm studying. To him, it looks like a tool to help me do something better rather than something that I need to do things normally all the the time.
I think people with any disability are misunderstood the same way and it's a shameful understanding society keeps about their issues. If only these nuances are understood more precisely, maybe we wouldn't question laws made for people with disabilities, so that they can experience equal participation and rights like any normal citizen, and maybe this world would be a slightly better place.
May study challenge Day 2
So, today right after work I came back to my GitHub. I figured out how to pull/push repo on Mac. But most of my time was consumed by the attempt of changing the indicated programming language of the project. For example, my basically R script was detected by GitHub as JavaScript because one of the libraries I use is written in js.
I got to know that in one week I will be present my interactive maps at a department meeting!
Also, in three weeks we will have a hackathon in our company. And... in the application form I chose to program in Python. Despite that R is my main tool so far, I've learnt some algorithms exactly in Python. Though never used it in practice. It seems like I am gaining a growing mindset.
Also, today my colleague has forwarded my cv to his past company.
Finally, a bit of a nighttime was dedicated to German.
Before anything else, I am dead set on talking about the character development or say the bond development between Steven and khonshu, from both sides.
From "the stupid pigeon" to finally a respectful khonshu. And from "you fool" and "worm" to finally Steven. Gotta say, they've worked hard enough.
The scene where Oscar Issac transformed from Marc to Steven in front of the screen for the first time, in complete concious and view to the viewers. IT WAS BLOODY BRILLIANT. HE'S AMAZING.
The visual motion was....amazing. Oscar Issac is so winning the series💫
Then we come to the part of how we finally have a third alter in the picture. But then, we always had him. Remeber the scene from the first episode where Steven suddenly went off and then returned to his body holding a scarab in a bloody fist with people and bloodshed all around.
We've seen in this episode how Marc actually fights and straight up killing is not his style obviously so, oh boy, who dat at the door peekin' ? I feel like Marc's the real one, right so. Maybe Steven is the alter that let's Marc live a normal life he couldn't being a mercenary and the alter 3 is the bloody-thirstier alter that does things too gruesome to Marc's liking. And, and, and where was the baby alter 3 going- riding like that to the airport? Besides that, it's an alter that obviously has no mercenary knowledge like Marc (except for the killing part- which is shinier than Marc) because he didn't know any Arabic (like Marc does for his travel and 'MI6 bonkers' stuff) as the driver accused him that he was being a foreigner who didn't know Arabic.
And the pain on Marc's face. When he saw the kid cut off his scarf and die. Trauma list keeps gettin' longer, eh?
He's devastated. I mean even in the beginning when he first started on the roof with the fight. He hesitated right before he slapped the kid to the side instead of a proper punch when he realised he was fighting off just a kid. And then, that very kid is dead and of course he believes it's all his fault, which it is but not entirely, technically it's all harrow- for brainwashing people like that.
Oh I probably will write again about episode 3.... These are just the "hit me right as I watched" ones.
When i first joined Tumblr i would read things here and think, " wow, all this is so funny. These people here are weirdly awesome."
After a few months of into it i finally realised how morally questionable and mentally deranged the audience here is and i was a little startled. Then I realised further that to enjoy their humour i would've to be equally fucked. Then I fainted.
Now? Now I party with vampires and dry hump wolves and throw cats into fire when I dream of jungles the night before to appease to satan and also now I wait outside everybody's rooms to suck little parts of their soul whenever they walk past me and the ultimate goal is to be immortal.
