I’m glad this child has a good role model.

I was walking through the toy aisle at Target when I found this thing and had a VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE FLASHBACK to when JP first came out and they had a bunch of REALLY COOL T Rex toys that I would have sold one of my scrawny small-child limbs for but my mother wouldn’t get me one because they were “too violent and also ate people” :(

hnn I WANT IT SO BAD

on closer inspection, it makes a lot of really obnoxious noises and is also Too Expensive. BUT FEAR NOT I found this slightly smaller dude wedged in the back!

IT HAS BITE ACTION, AND THAT’S THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS

now we enter the testing phase

yup. looks good.

Extreme Chompin T-Rex says IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS

Can we take a moment to appreciate that we can use this as a rosetta stone to say “EXTREME CHOMPIN’ “ in four languages?

OH SHIT YOU’RE RIGHT, let me check the garbage to see if it’s still there! hopefully I didn’t destroy it in my excitement

*roar sound effect*

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

update update: I re-sized her collar and found a bag of toy bones at the craft store. I haven’t put this much effort into a non-school thing since my last job search, help

(secret bonus: the other side of her tag)

There’s more!

I love.

I saw that people are reblogging the thread again, so I thought I’d give you all an update on how Wexter is doing!

(just fine)

Wexter And The Case Of Her Continuing Marvelously Naughty Garden Adventures

OP and Wexter can break all my toes and I would still send a thank you card

Wexter says SHE WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING (but she might chew your ankles a little bit maybe)

so it’s come to my attention that at some point this weekend Wexter blew past 100,000 notes, and I for one think that’s very cash money of her.

So I just went with my buddy while he got a rib tattoo, and they hurt like a lot, so he’s over there grimacing and being a huge manbaby so I just reach over and grab his hand so he can squeeze it because I’m a good person who helps others

And he’s clinging to my hand like it’s a life preserver and I’m being me and talking about nonsense like Grimace from the McDonalds commercials and how R2D2 is always ready to throw hands, and whatever, and the artist keeps glancing over at me and I’m like do your tattoo bro I’ve got my buddy handled

But then I realize he’s like, looking over because he can’t tell if he’s seeing something or not, and I glance down and I see my rainbow scalemail bracelet, and how I’m talking to my buddy all fondly and I’m like stroking his arm like he’s a wounded animal, and right as it clicks in my head the tattoo artist asks in his most nonchalant voice possible, like intentionally bland, I’m just talking about the weather haha what do you mean voice:

“So, are you guys close?”

And my gay ass is over to the side internally screaming because yeah, I am gay, but like this is just me being a good bro and my buddy is COMPLETELY OBLVIOUS TO WHAT IS HAPPENING BECAUSE HE’S A GARBAGE STRAIGHT PERSON AND HE SAYS

“Yeah of course, that’s why I asked him to come”

SO NOW THE TATTOO ARTIST THINKS HE’S RIGHT AND HE HAS A GAY COUPLE GETTING A TATTOO AND MY BUDDY HAS NO IDEA AND I’M AWKWARDLY SITTING HERE LIKE SHOULD I STOP HOLDING HIS HAND??? SHOULD I CORRECT THIS TATTOO ARTIST??? SHOULD I LET MY BUDDY KNOW??? MY GAY ASS DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE BEING INCORRECTLY ACCUSED OF BEING GAY, WHAT DO YOU DO

So that tattoo artist is like “Cool man, that’s great. Good for you.”

So then my buddy is like can I get some water, and the guy comes back with one bottle of water and my buddy takes a drink and then hands it to me, and I’m like obviously he has to lay down and needs me to hold his water so I just hold it in my hand, but turns out he was offering me water, so he turns to me and is like Colton, drink some water, and I take a drink and my garbage lizard brain is like “You’re drink sharing in front of the tattoo artist, now he KNOWS he’s right”

So we’re talking about tattoos with the artist and I mention that I’m getting a tattoo in September and my buddy is like “Yeah I’m gonna go and hold HIS hand for that one haha” and the tattoo artist FUCKING SAYS “I mean, I should hope so”

I MEAN, I SHOULD HOPE SO

I MEAN, I SHOULD HOPE SO

AND NO ONE ACTUALLY BROUGHT IT UP. I KNEW WHAT THE TATTOO ARTIST WAS THINKING BUT DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING TO CORRECT HIM. NOW WHEN MY BUDDY GOES BACK AND GETS HIS NEXT TATTOO IN THE FUTURE AND I’M NOT THERE HE’S GOING TO GO “OH WHERE’S YOUR BOYFRIEND”

genuine question: how is rose lavelle still alive after being drunk for almost 24 hours straight when she weighs like 90 pounds and can be knocked over by the lightest touch 

LIKE IS SHE OK? akdjakfjakjd

We stan

Guys now that we all had a moment to think and breathe can I just talk about Alexandra Fucking Krieger? Like for a second there, for a whole two years actually, she was done. She lost her starting spot, she stopped getting calls up, and then she lost her allocation, spent the whole of 2018 investing in her post soccer career but she kept her form and kept her positive attitude and then in the last 10 secs of 2019 wc prep she gets called up?

Like I’m not gonna lie, I was happy to see her at camp but I thought they were gonna retire her and use the games to send her off, but!!! Jillian Anne Ellis!!!! Made me go bobo the fool because she fucking put her name in the 2019 World Cup Roster and said those bullshit lines about Ali being there because of her experience and that no moment was too big for her at this point and you know what? She was right, Ali went from not playing for 2 whole years to being the #1 defensive sub of the game, the insurance against injury on the backline, out of all the players she got more minutes than Pugh, Tierna, Sonnet like who would even think that?

Certainly not me, I was fine with her having a nice trip to France for the summer with her fiancee but this absolute bitch of a player gets called up to come in and play a fucking final, because Kelley ‘i have a secret gf’ O’hara got a concussion, and she had not only the experience but the calmness to make sure the backline kept a cleansheet with only one shot on goal, like can you imagine having to put Sonnett or Tierna in that situation, against a desperate Netherlands? in a World Cup Final? 

But you know what, that wasnt even the second time she’s had to that. Alexandra Fucking Krieger, with 100 caps under her belt, went to France and got herself a fucking World Cup, her second one.

Honestly, why is everyone acting like KO did some great, progressive thing for the LGBT community when 1. Pinoe also kissed her girlfriend in the stands and 2. Abby Wambach made kissing your girl in the stands cool in 2015. 

i was going to try and find some eloquent way to put this but honestly you just fucking suck. she didn’t do a “great progressive thing”, she made a choice to exist openly in a way she hadn’t before and she did it casually knowing that people would see. which she has never done before. it meant a lot to a lot of people, it was brave in its own way, and it’s still a huge deal to see players living their lives openly and proudly. 

pinoe did kiss her girlfriend too but she’s been openly gay for years and in a very public relationship with sue bird and they’ve both meant a lot to a lot of lgbt people, especially with pinoe’s activism and courage this whole world cup. 

and abby did kiss her then wife in 2015 but that didn’t make it “cool.” imagine saying that it’s not a big deal that a woman kissed her girlfriend in public because someone else did it first. the fucking audacity to say something like that is unreal given the struggles so many gay people go through to get to feel comfortable as an out gay person. 

players used to be scared to live their authentic lives in any public capacity because it meant they could lose endorsement deals and ruin their careers. in 1999, players’ parents called up team staff to ensure that gay players wouldn’t be roomed with straight ones because they might turn them gay. so twenty years later to see pinoe, and ashlyn and ali, and kelley be open and proud of who they are after earning the highest achievement in their profession is a fucking big deal no matter how simple it may seem. 

there are two types of people in this world. those who thought kelley was straight and those who shipped her with...emily sonnett.........
