Additional information post to go with a prior post about the Babel Bracelet because I forgot to include this detail. Whoops.
While the Babel Bracelet allows the user to speak and understand whatever language they want, it only translates spoken words. It does not translate written words. Signs and books? Try to read any of them with a Babel Bracelet on and you're not going to understand it, the same way you would if you weren't wearing one or never had one to begin with.
This is intentional, of course. A hinderance that's purposefully built into it to pressure the user into learning the language of their choice because again, it's meant to be used temporarily. It's not supposed to be a crutch, just a quick band-aid solution until the user learns enough to not need it anymore.
#//shaking my head at myself#//this is such an important detail idk how i forgot to mention it#//i say pressure but its more like this feature is intentionally left out BECAUSE its supposed to help with learning the language#//by only having them understand being spoke to and not reading it's supposed to be like a nudge into actually learning the language they-#//-want to know#//if that makes sense?#//also deeply ironic how it's not supposed to be a crutch and yet lambda relies on it to communicate with two of his friends bc he wouldn't#//-be able to understand them otherwise#//there's a reason for that but also dude! dude! sit down and actually learn! shakes him#//anyways yeah! more fun translator bracelet info! :>#hidden depths: {info}

out of all of the (many, many, many) miscommunications on dsmp, this one still makes me lose it the most. these two were never on the same page even once and this was the culmination of all of it. 2 entirely different conversations going on

THE FACT THAT AS A VIEWER WHOS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND BOTH OF THEIR MOTIVATIONS YOU *KNOW* WHAT EACH O#THEM MEANT IN THAT MOMENT. BUT THEY NEVER REALLY SAT DOWN AND *TALKED*. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN HALF-TRUTHS OR TOO SCARED TO SAY.#AND I KNOW THEY CARED ABOUT EACH OTHER OTHERWISE THIS WOULDNT HAVE HURT THEM.

She came up with a new activity
#snake#snakes#Hognose#hognoses#pets#In her defense I also didn't realize the reason she couldn't move it at the end was because her tail was no longer under the basket#So instead of sliding over her it just bumped into her and was stuck#to her credit she did listen to me and follow my directions! But neither of us realized the problem.#ah it was cute while she did it#she was going a bit before I started recording#she comes up with silly fun activities#i should let her play with the hammock again#it's funny when she found it she'd gesture to me with her head when she wanted me to lift it and put it down#and it was like a weird elevator parachute game#i think she might have been extra delighted she was able to communicate her wants to me and I did them#We both got practice with that the other day when we played climbing ball#I misunderstood a few times#she is much more patient and less easily frustrated than her sister#she was asking for climbing ball and I thought she was asking for kisses#i did eventually figure out what she actually wanted#i suppose it helps she likes kisses too#when i say kisses I'm not putting my lips on her#I let her flick her tongue at the tip of my nose and make little kiss sounds at her#she either understands this is affection or otherwise likes it#Because she will often go to my nose and I'll give her kisses like this#I don't kiss her because the bacteria and stuff in my human mouth could be dangerous for her#I know reptiles and such can also have salmonella#But I'm really not worried about that part tbh as I keep my girls pretty clean#They are princesses#And know it

Sitting outside during a storm, watching, listening; enjoying the rain and the lightning and the thunder and thinking of Lord Zeus.
Thinking about his stories; what I know and how much I know I'm oblivious to. Wondering what I can learn from him. Reminding myself to research him later.
Thanking him for the storm. For every drop, every flash; every rumble.
Thunderstorms are something we have always adored both collectively with my system and together with our family/mother. But this one was truly magical because I got to experience it with Lord Zeus in mind.
I love religion 💜.
#commentary#helpol#hellenism#hellenic worship#hellenic polytheism#hellenic polytheist#zeus#zeus deity#lord zeus#zeus worship#tagged commentary#For so long we were afraid of religion; angry at its existence.#It wasn't until fairly recently (with the last two years) that we've been able to expand our worldview.#Christianity and other Abrahamic religions may be major religions but they are also the exception.#Religion isn't supposed to be riddled with morals like everything Christians believe are expliclty sins.#Religion isn't supposed to be hateful and controlling.#Religion is beautiful and wonderful. It allows people to understand and appreciate the world around them and the things that happen to them.#It allows them to connect with supernatural beings (deities or otherwise) and find purpose and meaning and belonging in their lives.#Our religion with Aquarius saved our life (quite literally) and so will Hellenism. Like many others we thought Hellenism was dead...#Oh how wrong we were. This religion and this community and these deities are all wonderful and I am so happy to have found out about it all.#– Odysseus 👑#{{he/it}}#date — 10 August 2024

The thing about Sylvester is the things that make him a great person make him a terrible Aub.
#ascendance of a bookworm#honzuki no gekokujou#Sylvester aub Ehrenfest#and controversially these are all traits Rozemyne has too#Myne can compartmentalize slightly better#SLIGHTLY#but she too cares too much about her ppl#but shes willing to help them in whatever they choose and not just decide for them#dont get me wrong she will still hulk out for her homies#the only thing keeping sylvester from doing the same is him being raised and socialized in yogertschmidt#also Myne has Ferdinand to keep her from doing anything too stupid#and eventually myne will understand and be able to temper her modern morals with that culture's nuance and then she'll be gucci😎#i had a whole essay written about my beloved sylvester#but this was my main point#i also think hes one of the most forward thinking nobles period#but i dont really know the others well the machine translation gremlins can tell me otherwise

Uhhh tangent of a tangent. "Hb critical fans" looove spewing bullshit, 100%, but I do understand where much of their frustration with Stella's treatment by the fandom comes from, because you've literally got people opposing the idea that maybe developing a character past being a cardboard cutout of what constitutes as a "bad person" would be good for both the plot and the main characters' conflict with them
#the thing is. you kind of have to be able to afford a character that's ''just evil and that's it. born like that. nothing else''#and hb can't. for the simple fact that if you're going to (rightly) expect people to look at the mcs and the conflicts between Them#with understanding and sympathy and nuance#then you must extend that same ''grace'' to the villains. because you run the risk of trivialising the mcs' conflict with them otherwise#you can afford a character that's ''just evil'' even less when i can clearly see in my mind's eye how when put in a certain situation#someone might say ''ykw fuck it all'' and grow up to be the biggest piece of shit that there ever was#like at that point you Have to develop them#which is the thing with stella. (and striker. but the fandom doesn't bitch about Him nearly as much)#helluva boss#stella of the ars goetia#series#mytext#like if you go there with the mcs you can't Not go there with the villains. is the thing

I have learnt things about Geto that I wish I could unlearn
#I think I'm getting about the same amount of spoilers as a few weeks ago except now I understand them#But like. I expected so much of him#Seeing gifs of that one scene in which Gojo gets distracted because of Geto almost made me watch this a year ago#Geto was actually my favourite character in that one JJK fanfic I read that I mention so often even if he had literally one scene#I know so much of the emotional turmoil and conflict in JJK and Gojo in particular depends on him#And you're telling me he's Thanos?#I learnt a few days ago that everything pretty much happens in one year. That there's one year between Geto's death and Gojo's#I thought it would be like ten years. Ten years of the act haunting him#But no? So it's not a broken teenager who has these ideas and is killed by another teenager to stop him?#It's a what? ~30yo man saying Light levels of stupidity? Even worse perhaps?#Goodness I hope this is not so. I hope this is better written than what I am seeing#Because goddammit I can't do it. It would kinda ruin every emotional scene from then on?#That one scene I was so looking forwards about patting Gojo's back or whatever. The one in which Gojo gets distracted. It just. I don't know#I won't be able to be moved if Geto doesn't work xD#I was fearing I wasn't going to like him a lot because my expectations were big but oh my god please not like this#This is way worse than I expected. Someone tell me he actually makes sense. What's the point of this whole political play#in which no one is fully wrong and no one is totally right otherwise? What is the point of the haunting. This feels just idiotic xD#And I don't care about the traumas and all that. That works for the teen not the ~30yo man#It would have worked if Gojo would have killed him like 1-2 years after everything not like a few months ago. Last winter#After like ten years a 30yo man should have realised this plan sucks.#Even if it's utilitarian. Who is going to make clothes? Buildings? Streets and railways? Bread??? Go have a talk with Nanami please#We have been told there are not a lot of jujutsu sorcerers. How are you going to fulfill all those needs out of nothing?#And even if it were little by little so the needs could be getting fulfilled little by little too#If you decimate humans won't that cause more curses? I guess he's thinking on the long run but still this plan seems like a mess#I hope it makes more sense than it's looking it will make because of my god this would truly be the last nail on the coffin xD#I am being more and more tempted to get to Utahime and then just drop this. This is breaking my heart xD#It could be soooo good and it always almost is#And then. AND THEN. Abfksbfndbfkan#Jen pick me up. Come solve this. I am scared xD#I talk too much

the way I've been raised has shown itself in a recent awful experience I had and the realization won't leave me because I'm not sure what to do about it.
I don't like feeling anger/upset and it's rare for me to feel it anyway but it's led to me being unable to tell what's worth getting upset over anymore. If my wants upset somebody, then, well, maybe I shouldn't have them? What is so serious that I need it to go completely my way...? What desires am I allowed to have. It's not that serious, it's okay if not, you can't always get what you want....
every time I feel Upset I am later wracked with guilt because it wasn't a big deal and I was just being selfish... What IS a big deal then? How can I tell? Its admittedly never a big deal... But I keep being upset. And stepped on....
#talkys#this is what led to me Staying for as long as i did#there would be issues but if I brought them up i wld then be made to feel guilty for feeling that way#but i cant reverse that bc well!! its true like is it really a big deal? life isnt that serious I dont need to get upset...#i get upset at something my parents do and in the end i feel ungrateful and selfish#i really cant tell anymore which is why i Stayed as mentioned above#in the sense of well yeah the way im being treated doesnt make me feel good but why do i need to feel good?#isnt that selfish...isnt that asking too much...isnt that making yourself out to be Better Than...#i really dont know. i get so ready to give up my position on anything because I dont want to be selfish#and because im no better than anyone else#my mom caused some drama on my birthday wrt my sister's family and it led to me not being able to go to the duck#pond on my birthday... which is the only thing i really wanted to do on an otherwise uneventful day#i was meant to feel shame abt it because well we can always go any other day!!! relax!!!#and it is true....!#we can go any other day why did i get upset? its not that serious...nothing is that serious...i feel so guilty + spoiled + selfish#i just felt humiliated for wanting to go in the first place. and for getting upset that we couldnt go. like a toddler.#*not that i actually get Toddler Level upset...but it always Feels like i did...ykwim#i just dont understand......idk if i can Repair this....

kinda frustrating how we've spent the last few months acknowledging how a lot of well intentioned but guilt trippy social justice posts are like specifically designed to worm into ocd ppls brains and then now every single post abt palestine is "i dont care how bad your mental health is, i dont care how bad looking at all this makes you feel, if you don't read every single post you see on this topic in full you are a horrible person and directly contributing to their deaths. 'waaaah my mental health' well at least youre not being bombed, did you think about that??" and its like. i absolutely get where youre coming from but you dont get to complain that guilt tripping is bad then turn around and use it anyways because you think the cause youre using it for is worthwhile. like. everyone thinks the cause theyre using it for is worthwhile, thats why theyre using it. but its still a shit way to do it
#like when you make a tumblr post to your tumblr blog youre not guilt tripping people who disagree with you#youre guilt tripping your followers who if theyre still following you probably already agree with what youre saying#and esp on a topic with so much brutality involved like. yeah OBVIOUSLY theres people who have to look away#like. yall know a bunch of these posts and articles and videos show graphic injuries in them right?#like i physically cant watch news videos abt this bc i will spend days with my brain making me imagine#peoples deaths in graphic detail specifically because it knows that will upset me. and i would prefer not to do that#in fact me doing that helps palestinians exactly as much as finishing my brussel sprouts helps starving kids#by which i mean none. its just a cheap guilt trip to get you to do something you don't want to#which when it's brussel sprouts thats whatever but when its 'deliberately expose yourself to extremely triggering#things otherwise youre a bad person'. not so much#idk i feel like maybe its due to ppl feeling. agitated abt not being able to do anything abt it#like the government isnt listening and we're a world away so physically /all/ we can do really is sit and watch#so i can understand a) wanting to find someone to lash out at to alleviate that feeling#like if you cant stop the actual problem at the very least you can shout down the people supporting it right?#and b) seeing 'not watching' or even just 'not watching as closely as i am' as a transgression#bc well its all we can do so if youre not even doing that you must be bad#and its like. i really do get it. but the whole world is watching right now‚ like this is THE big news thing happening rn#so a few people choosing to avoid to subject will not make a single iota of difference#idk. i guess what im saying is if youre feeling the urge to yell at someone for not looking close enough#just donate some money to a support fund instead itll do a lot more

fansites that blur the other members faces are so funny to me. like why. we know who he's standing next to.
#the concept of following them around but being like no ONLY this one guy#the others are not worth showing !!#strange as hell#like i'd understand if a bro looked bad in the bg and you decided to do him a solid and throw a blur but otherwise#not talkin about cropping bc they want to show off their fave thats normal#i mean the ones where they just put a blur for no reason. block their faces. could have cropped but didnt.#people overdo the akgae thing nothing wrong with having a fave but there has been a few accounts on twt ive come across#that actually do pretty blatantly only like 1 member and dislike the others and its so interesting to me#bc i just cant imagine being able to enjoy skz if i disliked any of them let alone most of them or all of them bar 1#like how are you going to a fanmeet and watching them all interact if you beef with 7 of them i cant understand it#are you even having fun or are you like grrr whenver they're all playing around ? how does it work?

i think a lot of people have never been in a truly desperate situation but think they have, and this causes them to pass really harsh judgment on people who made bad choices when either irrational or having no good choices to pick instead, and i really wish people could get some fucking self-perception and work on their compassion skills and not fucking do that as much anymore
#jack facts#people be banging on about empathy this empathy that#and like sure maybe people have a measurable capacity for it but i can tell you what#that sure as fuck don't mean any fucking one of them ever bothers to make use of it when it matters lol#and i mean on the other hand it's hard to conceptualize how you would feel going through something you've never experienced before#i just wish people would be AWARE of the fact they don't know!#or like that there's a difference between ''i can't afford anything but instant ramen'' and ''i can't get any food or water''#or a difference between being freaked out by spiders and having clinical arachnophobia#or a difference between ''my loved one is sick and i'm really worried about them'' and ''my loved one is dying in front of me''#etc etc etc etc etc#anyway the longer i live the more i'm convinced that empathy is a garbage concept#and actually a more reliable way to act with true compassion is through at least some capacity for relative objectivity#the ability to say ''i don't know how that feels and i cannot understand it through comparison'' and to be able AND WILLING#to take people's self reports on their feelings thought processes or lackthereof in good faith and with sympathy#and also the ability to acknowledge that doing a bad thing for good reasons does not negate the bad thing being bad#but also should and does change what consequences are appropriate and/or most effective#and also like............... things people do in desperation or other irrational states do not represent Who They Are As A Person#or what it's like to hang out with them in a day to day situation#another thing i keep getting more and more aware of is like. if y'all can't even handle an irrational or impulsive choice that does harm#done by an otherwise ''good'' person under short term desperate situations#that they then do their best to reduce the harm of after the situation is over#i can not even imagine how absolutely unforgiving you must be of anyone who has delusions#and i mean real delusions and real psychosis not the hyperbolic babytalk version lol#like i don't think most of you even know what the fuck a delusion even is the way you act about things as simple & straightforward as like#fear. hunger. pain.#absolutely fucking exhausting

it sucks to have no one to talk about the big emotions to because they're either too close to you or too far away... i simply don't know how to cope with real life and i don't know how people do
#my guess is everyone fakes it until they die and they don't center their entire lives on negative emotions and thought patterns but that's#just a guess LMAO#i think i lost the genetic lottery and not bc i'm ugly or anything like that like i could care less whether i'm seen as ugly or pretty atp#but just like. mentally. i wasn't given a great hand... which sucks because otherwise i think my family is fine but we all wind each other#up in the worst ways and i know all that it would take to change my current horrible ugly thought patterns is to slowly change my life#likeeee trust me... i'm trying... but it's so so hard when you feel grief for every little change#which is why i think i'm not equipped for real life. imagine what'll happen when the ppl i love the most leave me. bc i always imagine it#which is stupid because i know it's because they're all i have! my life is so small the only thing that exists within it is my loved ones!#they would suffocate under the weight of my love for them if i was able to show it better lmao :/ probably good that i can't bc i'd be in#tears near-constantly if so. and i hate crying in front of people#i mean i hate crying period which is totally great for my emotional regulation i assure you#idk... i know the world isn't 'supposed' to be easy#that's a concept our entire universe doesn't understand#the only things that are real are life and death and how you get from one to the other#but. still. i just wish i didn't have such a hard to being alive#ik i complain abt this shit everyday LMAO but it's hard not to when you have nothing else to think about#tbh i get why people work and have families and stuff now. when you have all that practical stuff to think about#you don't have time to be constantly in your head about every horrible possibility. unless of course you're me who couldn't get out#of my own head even when i had a full-time job... is there any actual way to get better? sometimes i feel like it's a myth

would've been 6 straight months of princess drawings if btg had had a normal response to hea criticism 😔
#Again its not even the fact that they blocked people in the first place like i understand the chapter is close to their hearts#so theyre obviously gonna take criticism of it harder than other chapters but like#its that they were blocking people on the Official Account. not their personal accounts#if abby howard had blocked me for hating the chapter id be fine with that because well its her account#id be a little Sad bc i wouldnt be able to rb princess posts from her anymore but id be fine with it#but its the official account that gets me like. excluding people who otherwise very vocally loved Every Other Aspect of the game#from any announcements about progress updates or stream announcements or anything like that its just#Man. that sucks#and its not like any of them were in like the inbox of the account saying that shit it was just a post or two on their blog about#how they wished the chapter was more satisfying. its just. Not Great

i think this is what happens when leftists avoid conservative beliefs and talking points as much as possible- to the point where they can't even recognize it when it's in their own spaces. you have to familiarize yourself with the enemies arguments to be able to actually have convictions you can defend. if a conservative brought up their fear of hormone blockers and the best argument you have is "well trans people deserve to exist and be happy", then you're not able to defend your beliefs, then your beliefs easily crumble when someone gives a more convincing counter argument to yours, and you could very well be convinced that person is right if you don't know better. learn their beliefs, educate yourself on the material, come back and correct them bc 9 times out of 10 conservatives are always making some shit up, its actually really satisfying to catch them on that and give them the correct information. but if you don't know how to do that you're no better than the average person who doesn't know what dogwhistles are and doesn't get what the big deal is about tolerating capitalism
#ignorance is bliss for you but suffering for everyone else#thinking x minority deserves x rights doesnt mean you know WHY they need those rights or how it even got this way#or what arguments the people against giving those rights are making to be able to counter them#theres a difference between passively accepting everyone bc you dont care about controlling ppl and understanding why you should#accept people and understand why they havent been and understand why its an injustice#its not that the first thing is bad- its good to not care what other people do- but its not enough to call yourself an activist.#educating yourself and being able to defend your beliefs are what makes you an activist.#i mean- whats the point otherwise if you're not changing minds? you're just a hippie who doesnt care. which is like. fine#but you're not an activist bc you dont care what ppl do. use yer feckin voice
