Do you think Charlie will learn to write in the crossover?

I think if he learned how to read he would know how to write, since the majority of learning how to write is based on developing fine motor skills (and we know he has those). So once he, like, understands English as a language that should translate pretty easily to paper.

I think the bigger question is... will it stick? Will Charlie actually, properly, know how to read and write in Season 17 and beyond? Or will we get a fun moment in the crossover where, after great trial and tribulation, Charlie is able to read a picture book to the Gang, hooray.. and then in Sunny we're back to his illiteracy is screwing them over once again...

I dunno if I actually prefer one way or another? I mean, it would be crazy for Charlie to finally adapt to reading, and maybe feel strange.. but maybe it's another development for them, the Gang finally shifting from the ways they've always been stuck in...

thinking about the language of intimidation in this episode - how Kendall's ideas of intimidation fall completely flat, because drugging Matsson and bleeding him dry doesn't scare a guy who microdoses at breakfast and wastes liters of his blood on a sick prank on his ex-girlfriend. it's not just about Matsson and his team being supposed to be physically intimidating (the way he looms over them when they're on the mountaintop even when they try to get a height advantage by stepping on rocks and sitting on ledges, kendall and roman's reaction when he takes his jacket off, the way shiv describes him as broad and conventionally attractive to Tom, etc, but also the stuff with the head of comms being a ski jumper, etc), but it's also literally about the language they use. How the roys use language and violent metaphors as weapons, but that means nothing when even the very literal meaning of those threats isn't scary to Matsson. and not just that, but there's also something there about how Matsson just switches over to swedish to make fun of them right in front of their faces, making them unable to defend themselves in this verbal battle, because they don't even understand what's being said, and effectively and literally disarming them by taking away what is usually their means of attack, and in the process again asserting his dominance over them

thinking about Callum's thing with the mirror in 4x01 to 4x04 + Oedipus Rex's thing on the inevitable horror of the revelation you keep chasing + something something shared concepts of destiny and the prophet (Aaravos, Tiresias) bestowing the knowledge upon you and thereby stripping away your agency because it would've been better if you didn't know. You should've stopped chasing (but how could you, when only the truth is terrible enough that you do)

almost 2am here so rambling time but gah

i miss my literary analysis classes. i miss that writing group i was invited to years ago. i miss just going absolutely nuts over a text. i miss discussing writing, characters. i miss the feedback. i miss getting excited hearing an older lady's memoirs on soviet-era nuclear plants. i miss the exciting stories of an irish immigrant. i miss the beautifully written, soul-touching tales full of mythos from a hawaiian woman. i miss having someone listening to me reading my stories, patiently waiting for me to go through the motions, only to tell me things that they found exciting or enjoyable in my text.

above all, i just miss the sense of community. the connection. finding beauty in all sorts of art forms. being alone in a foreign country, with relatively niche interests is just.. a lot sometimes

“Kih’ori’vod.” Tenten rumbles. His voice holds all the weight of affection b’Jan’buir. There’s also a cruel sharpness that Jan’buir never showed in front of Boba. “The Kaminiise were careless. The equipment malfunctioned and all of the cells they harvested from Prime died off.”

Boba stares at him blankly, not understanding what that has to do with his staying in prison for the rest of his life.

Tenten glances over his shoulder and then crouches down so he’s at Boba’s eye level. He brushes the back of his scarred knuckles across Boba’s cheek. “They’ll try to harvest cells from us, but we’re too edited—impure. You, on the other hand, are untouched. Tsad Droten is churning through us like mulch, they will approach you soon with a plea bargain.”

“Gar’gotal ner mav’cuyi.” The words fall from Boba’s numb lips before he can take them back. “Why?”

Tenten rocks back onto his heels, plastoid bucket scraping against his thigh plate. The silence drags on forever, long enough that Boba starts to think that he isn’t going to get an answer.

Then, finally, Ten’ika says, “Gar buir ru’juri skira. N’cuyi harycne viini goyust ures kyr.”

Mini translations:

Kih’ori’vod: little big brother (different from ori’kih’vod which means tiny brother)

Gar’gotal ner mav’cuyi: roughly, you manufactured a way to free me. lit. You create my freedom (mav being free and cuyi being exist)

Gar buir ru’juri skira: roughly, your father was burdened by revenge. Lit. Your parent carried revenge.

N’cuyi harycne viini goyust ures kyr: roughly, I won’t become exhausted running a path without an end. Lit not exist (most) tired running path without end.

I think Do Han is a really interesting character because he walks the line between selfish x assertive

I saw some people arguing the he is selfish because he left Ji Han behind and went to the US. Plus he made the contract with A Jeong even when it can fuck up her life. But I never considered this selfish acts but assertive ones? It is his life and he is living a toxic family dynamics. Yeah, it sucks that JH is in this situation but the fact is that he still also has the option to leave? DH does not want this life while JH wants it. Neither of them should shackle each other. The same way DH is not dragging JH out, JH should also not drag DH back. He should not live a lie for something he does not want. Plus with AJ it was a contract, he explained the risk to her until the point he knew but in the end this is a choice they made together.

Now, he is gonna have to make a choice when he finds out about DH and AJ being in love. Since this is a romance I believe eventually he will choose to give up on his fake marriage for their sake. However, if he choose to keep the fake marriage it will be a selfish act because this is something that he has direct control over. In this case he would be the one making both of them living a lie, over something that ultimately his happiness does not depend on? I mean, yeah the fake marriage is a solution he found. But since the beginning it was temporary and there are other paths he can take, are they harder? Yes. But they don't come at the cost of two people he deeply cares about.

And idk how to explain how this things are different between each other. But I guess it is a dilemma we queer people face a lot? Some of us back up from our families that is causing us pain but also we still want to be there with everything we love them. This is such a hard balance to fight and I don't think it is exclusive to queer people but is definitely a big part of our experience.

speaking of being slow. i wish i was a faster writer. i can write and i can write well, but it takes me significantly longer than nearly everyone i know. i just cannot get words out as easily as other people seem to and it is so frustrating all the time. i am working on editing my resume right now for applications. this is the third day i have worked on it. all i have needed to do this entire time is change the format to fit grad school rather than a job and add my recent work history. this isn't even two pages long. i have been working on it for 3 and 1/2 hours tonight and it's still not done. ITS NOT EVEN 500 WORDS APPARENTLY. i want to cry

being able to read in my head really fast but severely struggling to read aloud has sucked sooooo much during my life but i think the worst part was when my sisters were at the ages where they would ask me to read to them. and i love them so so much and would do anything for them but i hated reading for them, not because of anything thats their fault, but because of how embarrassed and ashamed i feel any time i try to read anything out loud. i want to do fun voices for them, or anything i can do to make it good for them. but instead i stutter and skip words and have to go very slowly. and when they would ask me to read when it wasnt just us around i would get SO anxious. because i wasnt as embarrassed around them, but the idea of adults or other older kids listening to me struggle made me very distraught. as you can imagine any kind of class reading during school was hell for me. i loved when the teachers would let whoever they picked pick next, and then so on, because i had so few friends that i knew almost no one would pick me to read (unless they were one of the meaner kids that just wanted to pick on an easy target.) when teachers would pick randomly or draw popsicle sticks with names on them i would be nearly sick with anxiety the entire time. i dont actually know why i started making this post but guys i think i might have disorders
