reading a book that is very interesting in its quantitative analysis but is so weird in its tone!! the place the author chooses to insert emotionality is bizarre and his treatment of mortality of the be all end all of suffering is equally so.

#i'm supposed to be coming up w questions for this reading and so far like my biggest personal question is about tone.#like how do we feel about this tone? bc i think its bizarre.#i did go looking for other reviews and other people have brought up the same thing so it is like. extremely noticeable #he is also according to him going for 'rationality' over the 'emotionality' that is kind of pervasive in the subject matter #but then that gets into like. ok. how do you write emotionality as a historian. like. what obligations do you have to the people you examin #and he's an economic historian which i think is why he's really only focusing on mortality #which to be fair. is significant. and i think he handles it fairly well and makes clear that the numbers ARE significant even though #the percentages seem small #its just like. if this is a survey of the literature. most historians do actually talk about effects other than mortality. so.#als i do kind of think he has a moral obligation to talk about effects other than mortality. in this topic.#bc to do otherwise kind of insinuates that discussions of other effects are the emotionality he doesnt like #which might be true that he thinks that. but if its true i think thats bad.#anyway #w.me

[ID: a sketch page of various drawings of Willow Park from the owl house. From left to right the drawings are: timeskip willow playing flyer derby, Willow in her season 1 casual outfit next to her in her season 3 Halloween costume, Willow as Anne in an amphibia au, young willow doing pottery with her dad Gilbert, young willow and amity holding hands/hugging and smiling, and willow looking at clover, who's perched on her finger and wearing a dress and wig made of yarn so as to resemble Willow. Willow is trying to hold back laughter while clover looks unamused. In the center is a drawing of Willow drawing a large spell circle with her staff, and the title of the sketch page reads "willow week 2023", with each drawing labeled as a specific day/prompt, such as day 3: flyer derby/fav on-screen outfit, day 1: crossover, day 2: childhood/father-daughter, or day 1: palismen bonding. Drawings 2, 6, and 7 are coloured while the rest are uncoloured. The background is a scribbly green. End ID]

hi I’m only a month or so late to it BUT! Nearly out of the mines (finals) and that means i can post the sketch page i worked on for Willow Week! Hosted by @agrebel18

So many issues regarding the quality of this drawing man #I MADE THE CANVAS TOO GOTDANG BIG!!!#im gonna draft this first and then do a quality review #anyway i wanted to do willow week back when it was actually running but like i said. Ihave been in the mines #almost out though! Just gotta get through Wednesday #still kinda going insane in my enclosure though. Idk if its a period mood swing or if imjust drinking internet pond water #and thats why I’m starting to think evil thoughts #ive just been watching jerma play simpsons hit and run #fr though I’m being digitally waterboarded i need to go to a social excursion so bad #god. I missed posting art just to vent in the tags. Exhilarating. This is my therapy #anyway hope you enjoy this aggie and all other willow enjoyers #also i missed posting abt the 2 month anniversary of the finale #im not coping <3

best part of nimona is them unwhiting those guys worst part is them removing the timeskip. where is the timeskip what happened i though you guys loved timeskips. and breakups and betrayals and letting wounds fester i though you guys loved festering wounds. and men with long hair. im am glad they arent white anymore though i just saw their book designs again and got jumpscared

#most mixed part was gloreth bc like. did he need to be her descendant. but the ultimate reveal was crazy to me.#i love when situations and people become stories and gods and legends and then you get a flashback and its like no.#no they were just kids. it was always just two kids.#to see her as a scared child repeating what her parents told her vs her statue of an adult woman with armour and a sword...#very joan of arc esque very fun.#anyway. thats my review as someone who was truly obsessed with the comic when i was younger #poison.txt #nimona

I'm so incredibly torn on how to feel about the new Garfield movie. On one hand, the animation looks great, love the stylization and you can absolutely tell the creators did their homework in taking inspiration from the earlier comics and just overall series aesthetic. ON THE OTHER HAND the story from just what I've seen from the trailers seems so generic and bland (like it could be any 3d animated kids flick) and I also don't like how they seemingly retconned Odie's origin (RIP Lyman!?!?) oh and yeah I CANNOT do fucking Chris Pratt Garfield like UH OH HOLY SHIT NO WAY I won't be able to get over that the whole ass movie

#anyways thats my little garfield rant #hopefully it's good though #maybe I'll post a review whenever i watch it #garfield #garfposting #fuck nermal

When The Moon Hatched is an insane book. It is a fae romantasy but this author went whole hog into building a world that works completely unlike our own, and I can tell she is determined to make it consistent and make sense within her own internal set of rules. I really respect her for trying to do something new, even if the prose is the brightest shade of eggplant I've come across in a while. It's not Good -- the weakness of the prose, especially when she tries a "High Fantasy" tone, holy shit, and the stodgy romantasy beats [even with the twist you can see from a mile away] make this a squarely mediocre read -- but she was definitely ambitious and trying something that puts her work apart from the gazillion other fae romances (there's like, no humans at all in this book, which I respect a lot). She definitely has a Vision, and there's nothing I love more than works produced by self made arteurs with only middling technical skill that are obviously passion projects. Yeah, the story itself is mid and the characters pretty stock when you get down to it, but the world is genuinely interesting and probably the least derivative I've read in any contemporary romantasy. You can tell that she probably read things like Discworld and was like, "I want to do this too! I want to create my own unique planet and then set a sexy faerie romance on it and it'll be my magnum opus."

And you know what??? Good for her. I love that. Friggin large popcorn dammit because reading this feels exactly like watching one of those one-off mid-budget fantasy/sci fi movies from the mid 00s - mid 10s that are firmly mediocre, but still live in your psyche forever. This is truly the Mortal Engines or Chronicles of Riddick -- or, actually JUPITER ASCENDING!!!! -- of the faerie romance genre. I'm only about halfway through, but I'm pretty sure at the rate this is going my opinion isnt going to change much.

Also. People complain that there's tons of made up jargon and they need to consistently refer to the glossary, which I personally don't see because to me it's really quite easy to infer what things mean based on context clues ??????? Like the book never goes out of its way to overly explain what anything is since the POV character has lived in this world for her entire life, so it's all just normal to her, and I very much respect that choice not to exposit more than absolutely necessary. Like idk those 70s pulp sci fi books must have really done a number on my pattern recognition and contextual reading skills, because I'm not having any difficulty at all following and inferring the meanings of the jargon. Like. I really need some of these people who complain about fantasy slang and jargon to try picking up A Clockwork Orange one day. That book is nigh impenetrable with made up slang LOL.

#rene's impromptu book reviews #this is my new tag for these kinds of posts #also i love how fae aging and longevity is implied through the way time is measured in this one #A year is about 1000 in universe days and fae can apparently live for hundreds of years #like theyre i think considered mature at the same number of years as humans but the length of those years are much longer than ours #and we have no clue how long those days are -- theyre at least as long as ours though they could be longer #but thats a moot speculation because there are no humans in this one so everyones on the same playing field #also the way that they use scent as a primary sense differently from us is genuinely handled so subtly im actually a little impressed #like i know its a stock trait in contemporary faerie books for fae to be able to smell things a/b/o style #but i do like that it was included the way it is. not super in your face but still There #readswithrachel blasted a line because the pov character described someone as smelling like a 'freshly split stone' and went on a rant abou #how that doesnt smell like anything and im just like. hm sure but first of all these people arent human and use smell as a primary sense #(which is supported by the fact that someone asked another person what a stranger smelled like in order to get an identifying description)#so like. how do you know if they cant smell what split stone smells like. also it's just an evocative description. it could be literal but #it also could be metaphor. if scents tell you what sort of person a character is then that is an evocative description.#it is a little purple and silly sure. but this is also a fae romance book.#like idk i think a skill you need to have as an effective critic is to be able to engage with a work on its own level -- to analyze it from #both the perspective of your own tastes and from the perspective of its target audience. theres layers to it. like an onion #anyway.

well that one comic panel with baby erik activated the sleeper agent in my brain that goes feral for de-aging angst... if you had the choice between erik protecting a suddenly de-aged charles or vice versa, which would it be and how how many years are they losing?

are you trying to killme. this amya very well kil me

#snap chats #sorry 1.) i have drank 2.) i just finished watching shame and the ending hit way harder than i thought it would #maybe its because of Aforementioned Drinking but i need to lay down and throw up #this isnt a shame review tho ill put my On Topic Rambles now #both hit hard for relatively the same reason. or at least foils of a reason Does That MAke Sense i dont know i cant feel ym forehead #becaue like .. charles couldve greatly benefited from having a protector in his childhood- as did erikt oo of course #like with charles he forgave his mother for not being able to do anything against his stepfather And Thats Incredibly Valid #bless his mother she did all she could and so with this scenario im led to imagine an alternartive or someting similar idk #charles is so gentle but that doesnt always work- he needed someone to kick and scream and fight for him growing up #and so im forced to imagine if the likes of erik was there to protect him as akid #similarly with erik charles being there as a caring figure and to just be like #'hey please dont let this world squander the love in you' would be so important to him #am i making sense. i dont know if im making sense im mashing my fingers on a keyboard #its a miracle i can type coherent sentences really but thats my take on thi as of right now #i dont thinka anythin with de-aging nd whatevr tbh but i can entertain a concept at least #anyway now that ive finished watchin ima go see how much doodles i can make before i pass out #ill see youuuu all then

Ok so these designs are cute as hell, the Internet is just mean

I have too many thoughts about a game I still need to watch

#goodbye volcano high #i dont have the money to buy it but god i need to watch a playthrough when i have time it's so interesting to me #like; the theme of 'yeah we're going die but that doesn't mean we can enjoy what time we have left' sounds amazing to me love that #its so funny i was actually watching a review of it that was basically 'this game sucks and here's why'#and then it just started listing off shit like- 'the characters designs are pastel they're nonbinary you die no matter what'#and then my neurons just went off and went '👁️👁️ oh! sounds amazing i want to see more'#fuck yeah pastel nonbinary dinosaurs lets go #well i think its just fang thats nonbinary and then two other trans characters #i saw a cutscene! and it was about the experiences of being an apart of a family as sec-gen immigrant and trans-#and i thought that was cool as hell dont recall ever seeing that in any of thr arts ive seen before (but there's lots of art out there!)#heard it got some glitches tho (havent looked in depth of what those glitches are) hopefully it got patched out #also im so fucking pissed i saw the gator game before i saw this 😮‍💨 (context; apparently made by people who made a fangame where they #the mc of this game a datable side character and they only have a happy ending if they detransition? which fucking yikes😬)#i saw people say 'oh but they did it empathetically' like how the fuck is taking a canon nb character and making them only happy through #detransitioning empathetic that sounds super fucking shitty and gross #i think a character that detransitions can be done and would be interesting to see- but this just reeks of people being transphobic for real #oh also purple dino has a slug or worm or something apparently! seems cute! just a lil thing #apparently its a rhythm game; listened to some of the songs and it sounded good! sadly i suck at rhythm games #but apparently failing doesn't affect the story? kinda wish it would but honestly better for me lol-#pink one and fang end up dating i believe- from what i saw pink is like- soft spoken artist? dunno if accurate but she's cute #all the characters are cute just look at them!!! awesome #also they have to just continue school like normal before they die and honestly thats so real #also saw people dislike the fact you dont see the characters actual die or the meteor #which is ??? dunno i just think some things are better left implied than shown-#anyways man i keep trying to find neat stuff about the game and all i see is people bitchin about it or praising the shit fan on instead 😔#man if i had two nickles for a time i grew to become obsessed with a media only for loads of people to hate id have two nickles #first nickle is kat elliot she's such a cool character Internet wasn't ready for her #also yes i saw obsessed i can just tell this is something ill go bonkers for #i mean god look how much text is in my tags for this already! and i still need to see the game in it's fullness!#im sure there's other cool shit

SoundCloud just released this year's 2024 wrap-ups and I was cackling at just how many different genres I managed to cram into one singular list of 50 songs

Temped to make them into a youtube playlist so I can share my top 50 on here lol

#i think i shall do that #i just submitted a paper that was due at midnight tonight that i wrote almost entirely after 11:00 (of which i knew about since august)#ok thats a bit of a stretch i couldn't actually write the paper until a week and a half ago because my topic wasnt approved until then #BUT i definitely knew about it and could've done it before... an hour ago #anyway im celebrating with a cheap premixed daiquiri and my goofy ass year-in-review playlist because YAY #only one more huge project to go
