I'm about half an hour into the third episode, and I see a bunch of people in the chat saying that the Gods never explain themselves, which sure, could be a valid criticism. But they have said that destroying a God is different than replacing them via ascending because their mantel of power won't be upheld. The Matron killed/replaced/erased? the previous God of Death and took their place. It has been heavily implied/ basically outright stated that the Factorum Malleus (God Hammer) would not just be the end of the Gods, but the end of their domain which does NOT just affect said God, but also all mortals, who are their creations. The phrase "never have existed" has been thrown around a couple times. If the Gods never existed, with no one to take their place in the weave, guess what, neither has anyone on Exandria, ever. That's my read on the situation anyway. Cause and Effect: Gods create mortals, no Gods ever, no mortals ever. To use a pertinent quote, it's very Wibbly wobbly timey wimey.

They also said that there are things beyond our mortal comprehension that exist outside this world that would take the combined might of ALL the Gods to defeat. Now, that "beyond mortal comprehension" bit can come off as condescending for sure, but what if it's literally just the truth and they genuinely can't explain it to us more specifically than a general outline. Go back to the beginning of episode 1 of Downfall, we couldn't even comprehend their NAMES. They were/are impossible fractal patterns and balls of light and sensation and sound and thunder and fire. Imagine all the other things that we just physically cannot process.

Imagine trying to teach quantum physics to an ant. You like the ant, the ant is really cool, and charming, and fun to be around. You love the ant and think it's great. You're very proud of the ant's achievements. The ant has impressed you with its skills. You want to protect the ant and you also want to protect yourself. You aren't trying to be a dick. But it's still an ant. How ARE the Gods supposed to translate the untranslatable Eldridge Monstrosities that lurk beyond? The things that, were you to grasp a fraction of their reality, they would break your mind and leave you a drooling mess on the floor, clawing at your head with madness. Other than by saying; 'look, there are layers here you don't understand, and also threats that require all of us to combat. Shit's complicated, sorry.'

This is all in addition to the "the Gods are a fractured family and would rather put each other in jail than murder each other" thing. Which honestly, that's fair. If someone I loved went off the deep end and started killing innocent people, I too would rather put them in jail than murder them. And many things can be true at the same time. They can both long to be a family again AND have legitimate/strategic reason for not killing each other. Not wanting to kill your family doesn't automatically make you a liar or a bad person lol. The prime deities DID choose saving mortals over getting along at thanksgiving with the betrayers and a lot of people seem to be forgetting that. From what I can tell, it would have been super easy for them to be like, 'ah fuck it, fine. Have it your way bro. Smush the ants if it means that much to you.' But they didn't.

#wip #yapping below #1. sinnohtrio group pic where nothing bad has happened yet... dedicated sinnoh post coming soon #2. personalizing dawn and lyra's togekisses with different coloring and markings based on region. there's lyra's omelette :]#3. timeskip red and leaf except it's just pikachu #4. top left is all the assets i made for my cs final project! a little cherrim themed browser game #then there's sprites for my champion dawn; cool concept methinks but it's definitely a work in progress. peep the giratina hairclips #some vaugely lugia/ho-oh inspired protag ideas for a hgss sequel #anddd a bunch of background doodles. goldenrod flower shop and a very saturated mt. silver #in timeskip there shall be a proper town at mt. silver's base to officially bridge kanto and johto (and make lyra's work commute easier)#5-7 is me spitballing ideas abt pokemon biology #dratini & dragonair are forever sea snakes to me!!! though i do enjoy the amphibian interpretations #also i didn't know dragonite island was already a thing from pokeani... rip wyverse dragon master lore #i think crobat looks goofy no matter how you stylize it. silver and his big bumbling bat that insists on grooming its trainer. so unserious #there's a togekiss page too but then i remembered egg groups are a thing so i'm revising parts of it #i spent so long trying to come up with a reasonable wing-to-body ratio for togekiss and crobat. literally useless when dragonite can #apparently fly around the globe in 16 hours. are you Kidding me. dragons weren't even merging with jet planes until gen 3.#OK that is all. sorry for the lack of uploads wah #i'm like a ferret hoarding all my doodles until the quantity > quality lever switches in my brain to give the 👍 to post #i did made a spam blog but who knows if i'll actually post on there lol! probably for non-pkmn related stuff

Me messaging my boss usually: of no in sorry I haven't quite finished the 6 hour piece of work you gave me an hour ago!!!! maybe I could work late and finish it after work?

Me responding to my boss asking anything of me today, my last day and the day after they tried to discipline me for mentioning unions: do it yourself or fuck off and die lol, furthermore bosses get the guillotine

#red said #WAIT RUTH CAN YOU MAKE SURE YOU FINISH THIS BEFORE YOU GO?#1) physically no. there's like 5 hours left where i have this laptop i cannot do 50 hours of work in it #2) why would i want to? literally why? you had one piece of leverage #which was extending my notice a week. and you've already made it clear a) that you won't #and b) that you don't respect me or care about my wellbeing beyond vague lipservice #so literally why would i do more than the bare minimum today? i don't owe you shit.

#*there's less than a day left* me: does this count as a prediction :33 sorry it's vague i just predict Vibes. stream sheep in wolf country #last several hours i can post this before it comes across as a Reading Comprehension Cringefail! due to the new update (premiere)#which is also to say i've rushed it in the last 24h after cc told me ''go for it''. i haven't digitally rendered like this since i was 15 #in lieu of character designs falling into my lap from above i give you wolf & sheep & wolf & sheep. also House. also fire and water concept #brought to you by (1) general excitement i've been swept up in // (2) cc; who i messaged yesterday with a sketch on a half-wet receipt #and was an enabler of this nonsense // (3) copious usage of the procreate liquify tool and eyedropping colours from the pinterest boards #(4) '' rotatable 👍 '' from cc which means that the house in water isn't beset by reflections and vague. and this work is rotatable.#bonus points if you treat both sides as a spot the difference game.#tempted to print this out as like a6 merch. lowkey. // (4) me rendering last minute on the last possible day [art proj flashbacks] //#(5) ghost story art draft 1 i did like dec last year involving a shelf; incense sticks; peeling paint; spilled cup; the whole shebang -#if you look at the water house there's incense sticks in the window. yippee! had fun with that... it never made it out of sketch.#and then i lost the paper. alas. sorry i guess that was fated to never be. here's attempt 2.0 with months of hindsight #anyways let's talk really quick about song assocs! water imagery @idk you anymore // sheep in wolf country!! pretty obv. above #there's a house & there isn't a house. much House. idk how else to put it. // also that one timeline (not a song) saying <house burns down>#incense sticks mentioned in i breathe in you breathe out // the lighting for the field of grass comes from there's a house:#'where the grass looks like fire sick with anticipation'. also in the same song: pond mentioned 💥💥 body of water moment //#also also the house in this work is like. if you took the ghost story header & the ghost story programme houses and smushed them tgt #except i was lazy to render wood that clearly. and last note here is that the smoke was kinda insp from how clouds are done in chinese art.#ghost story musical

small update

ok so um I got my number theory paper today, and the TA had cut marks for me because i left the answer at 66^2 and not 4356 (fermat's little theorem) 😔 I even wrote the full proof

my friend told me I should mail the TA about this, I got 14/20 and should be getting 17or18/20 😔

scores aside, number theory is so much fun, so much fun. the only good thing here is that I know the concepts well, and I fully knew the paper (still fucked it up, because I'm so frickin slow while writing and time). and it hurts worse because there's not enough proof that validates my knowledge. which in turn makes me question if i actually do have any.

I am, in general, a person who does well in concepts but screws up the exams (70% of the time) and I'm trying, I'm trying to get myself out of this "exam paniK" that I often spiral into, just minutes before the exam. I hope I change and grow; I hope, I hope.

#im so sorry for this meltdown once again #so sorry #and for the paper - many people got 20 #it was actually a very easy paper and yes 20 was doable #even i could've gotten a 20 had i not screwed up the way i did #and i feel so bad to even say “had i not screwed up...” the excuse sounds horrible to my ears #well what is done is done #i can only try better next time #this course might just end up being the easiest to get an A #let's hope that I don't fuck up this one too #after seeing my paper i just returned it and came back #and my friend was like “ok. why did u not ask them why you've lost so much when the concepts are all right there on your paper?”#and i was like “um so should i ask them?” she went “YES.”#but by the time i went back to the hall the TAs had left so i have to mail mine now #and im very worried that she wouldn't change the current grading #last time i missed an A in math by 1/2 marks and i don't want the same thing to happen this time 😔😔#oh god ONE good thing can help me right now please #ru's trying #JUST 1 good thing #just give me ONE #i was so out of sorts today i slept for ~5 hours during the day and missed my calc class #i deliberately missed it though bc i wasn't feeling up to mark #i regret not going but my brain simply said no we're not there atm so maybe it was for the better #once again im so so SO sorry for the meltdowns lately #it's been bad rains and cloudy days in my head for a while now #i hope for the sun soon

I did my first grandmaster quest in osrs tonight :)

#I decided to just play some runescape to chill out with after infinite wealth but this was not very chill :P #I had exactly zero doses of my healing and restore potions and was very close to using my emergancy teleport with the boss at 50 hp left #Glad I didn't cuz those potions cost way too much to restock frequently xD #Think one full inventory of 6 super restores and 20 sara brews costs around 350k #That's a good 2-3 hours of money making for me depending what I feel like doing #I also spent about 4.5million gold on getting the better trident and a mage necklace #So my cash stack is not looking very healthy right now xD #I got all the way up to the final 3 fights a few nights ago but didn't have the money to get enough supplies #I did die to the final boss 1 time tonight and nearly lost my stuff trying to get back and fell down a pit 5 times in a row xD

I am sorry. I have so much work, and I am very pregnant so I just don't have time to respond to stuff on here as much (or draw, really.) Hoping I can get into a schedule soon which allows me to paint and chat more :(

#i have so little free time #i worked 12 hours today #im just tired #technically i could have been painting the last 2 hours of relaxation #but tbh i am falling asleep #i think it will calm down soon tho #ill do work work in the morning do a class then hopefully have enough left in me for cooking chores and painting/chatting #whew #idk how im going to do this with a kid #trying.... not to think about that actually #wait. no.#frustrating thing: there's no preschool around here for us #preschool in our area is only available if your family is extremely impoverished #there are for-profit daycares and they cost about $2000-$4000 a month #girl i cannot swing that lmao #sigh #i hate being in the US #everybody wants you to have kids but no one wants to do anything with them #like be fr rn no one has the fucking money for $2500/month childcare #im glad people way under the poverty line have good school opportunities but also.. why #the school mentioned many times that they can barely afford to stay open #man #so many people call them and are willing to pay #i understand why they must prioritize people that cant or theyd get pushed out #but theres obviously 1) not enough funding for that school 2) a real threat to lower income families to be able to get in if higher income #families decide to elbow them out and 3) not enough schools here #they are building another preschool which will be available to families who work at certain local businesses #but lmao.... get this... there are only 20 spots available for their preschool. 20. girl what. and it costs $2k/month.#my mom called me the other day after i texted about all this and said she could watch our kid. for $25/hour #feeling a bit cornered here. it's going to be a long 5 or 6 years until kindergarten

who hates operación triunfo more edgelords who thing they're above a silly music contest or fans of operación triunfo

#vivitalksot #quién se apunta para bombardear gestmusic #no but #this isn't about 'oh they won't sing amapolas my ship oh nawr'#this is about how the goddamn program has already treated paul and alvaro (and also bea now that we're on topic) like shit #i shan't speak about gala 8 but #you know what happened there #in interviews when asked about which songs they would like on tour #they both said they wanted amapolas #they even fucking repeated it in the weird ass video statement they released an hour ago #saying that they would've liked to sing it but it didn't depend on them #it's the only ship song to not be sung on tour in the history of ot btw #which is already insane #once again it's a good song a good duo and numerically it just makes sense. it just made sense #as we know now. it looks like paul is going to sing fewer songs than people like chiara #PAUL IS THE RUNNER UP #during tour the better your position in the contest the more songs you're allowed to sing #it doesn't look like paul will sing more than two duets and two solos #and even if he sung another duet #the ones that are left are 1) el encuentro with chiara which i enjoy but i wouldn't say it's tour - worthy #also it would make chiara have like 5/6 songs so. lol #2) little green bag. also a cool performance but. martin has so many songs already #3) bad habits. no ❤️#and there's also the trio he could do which is the worst trio in the contest so. lovely #i'm so tired

the eternal question: is scheduling w friends as an adult That Hard or am I just bad at it

#4 different people have left me on read today; 1 cancelled our plans 4 hours before we were due to meet #I've been sitting home alone for 2 days going insane. looking forward to One (1) coffee date & that fell through #idk why I'm taking it so hard this time I'm usually fine!! but I find myself wishing I didn't have the day off I wish I did have work :(#like it's tiring yeah but it beats sitting here not knowing what to do w myself #& I'm working all weekend & only leaving the house to see the doctor. oh joy #I've been productive ironing writing fixing the car. that's not the problem #I had 4 social plans this month. that's it #that's like seeing each friend once a month!! I can't keep this up!!#is this the norm for adulthood? :(#& on one level I don't want to bother people or be clingy #but on another level I'm baffled that they don't get lonely too #the news has not shut up abt the Loneliness Epidemic since 2021 #but if it's true why do so many people take so long to reply when I reach out? if they reply at all #I'm not going anywhere w this. idk #just one of those days #everything so fuck everybody suck :(#boomers got it right w the whole showing up unannounced at people's houses for a social call with a pound cake #now I have to go through 5 layers of bureaucratic bullshit to see a friend #assuming they don't cancel the day of ofc (((((:#I just wanna be like hello knock knock I am here. tell me abt yr life today & listen to mine & eat this cake #& the worst is when people are like 'I'm cancelling bc I'm tired xx'#OK A) u knew we had these plans for two weeks #but B) I'm tired too! I still love u ur still my friend! let us be tired together!#'I won't be social today I'm tired' my love we could watch movies in silence we could knit we could ball yr socks. idc #'I have to do the big shop today sorry' so do I!!! let us do the groceries together!!!#every time I've pushed someone to come out when they felt depressed or to let me accompany them when they were doing chores #they were like u know what I'm so glad u did this. thank u. this is way better than how I had planned this night to go #& I'm like any time!! I love u!!#& then it just happens all over again next time oh sorry I'm cancelling I'm busy I'm tired #like did u forget what a nice time we had last time? what changed? :(
