I am sorry, but Sean Bean as VA for Regis was TOP NOTCH choice. He was *PERFECT* for the role. PERFECT.

He has the gravitas, the timbre, it just suited the character SO WELL.

#Nemo babbles #FFXV #yeah I just woke up and need to get my coffee #the brain hasn't stopped bubbling since yesterday #as I said in yesterday post #at this point I just give up on my attention span #I go where the brain leads me #less stress for me

hope you feel better soon!

I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!

#ask #non mdzs #My health journey has been: Hernia -> acid reflux -> Vocal pain due to aforementioned reflux -> chest infection.#I'm terrified to know what's about to hit me next. Please let it be something kind. PLEASE.#The consequence of living with linguists is that you'll wake up with a wacked up voice -#suddenly you're sitting you down in front of a program called something like Praat having your shimmer and jitter levels calibrated.#They gave me a GRBAS of 33012. I have a fun thing called a pitch break where a whole octave just does not exist.#My vocal pain was bad enough I ended up seeing a speech pathologist and that whole experience was super neat!#I learnt a lot about voice - to be honest I might make a little comic on it after some more research. Fascinating stuff.#For example; your mental perception of our voice modulates the muscles of the vocal folds and larynx.#meaning that when you do have changes (inflammation = more mass = lower frequency)#your brain automatically attempts to correct it to what it 'should sound like'. Leading to a lot more vocal strain and damage!#And it gets really interesting for trans voice care as well - because the mental perception of one's voice isn't based on an existing sampl #So a good chunk of trans voice training is also done with the idea of finding one's voice and retraining the brain to accept it. Neat!#Parkinsonial Voice also has this perception to musculature link! The perception is that they are talking at a loud/normal volume #but the actual voice is quite breathy and weak. So vocal training works on practicing putting more effort into the voice #and retraining the brain to accept the 'loud' voice as 'normal'.#Isn't the human body fascinating?#Anyhow; Now I have vocal exercises and strategies to reduce strain and promote healing.#Which is a lot better than my previous strategy of yelling AAAH in my car until my 'voice smoothed out'.#You can imagine the horror on the speech path's face. I am an informed creature now.#I'm my own little lab rat now. I love learning and researching. Welcome to my tag lab. Class is dismissed.#I'll be back later with a few more answered asks </3 despite everything I'm still going to work and I need the extra sleep.#Thank you for the well wishes! And if you read all of that info dump; thank you for that as well!

AND YET ANOTHER PERSONAL POST even though i still need to respond to all the others i've made! but i just again wanna say THANK YOU YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME I LOVE YOU I'M HAPPY YOU'RE HERE. this has been such a very fun and gratifying few weeks of spreading the gospel of the pig 'n duck, getting to hear everyone's reactions and spread the dominos... i'm still overwhelmed and answering some birthday wishes that is INCREDIBLY SWEET WHAT ON EARTH!!!!!! and i've got some very exciting news that just reminds me like, hey, life is worth living and i do have friends and people like and appreciate me and want me around and people are not going to murder me because i'm not working on a review or haven't immediately been able to respond to a DM. my posting's definitely been more erratic lately with the pig and duck hype and i'm having to force myself back down into civilization a bit and pick up routine, but as someone who doesn't often let myself deviate from that routine i just wanted to say thank you!!! i still have a lot of asks and DMs and testimonies to catch up on, but thank you for the support and for being awesome 🙏 i genuinely have not felt this worry-free and able to just unabashedly post about my interests in years and years and years. yinz are awesome thank youuuu

#i just feel the need to express it over and over because i can't get my gratitude out enough!!#and i guess as a sort of 'wow this is real people aren't going to throw stones and tar and feather me because i'm not currently working on #review' type thing #self worth measured by productivity but productivity hindered by ADHD and OCD supercombo including not being able to tend to hobbies that #refuel you leading to less availability for productivity leading to self worth plummeting into the toilet etc etc #like even just making these personal posts is a weird exposure therapy thing where my brain feels like it's full of burning glass #because it doesnt fit 'my brand' but. consider. this is my blog i can do what i want #and i've been getitng to enjoy that 'i can do what i want' feeling the past few weeks so it's been nice! it's nice knowing that the only #person shackling you to your neuroses is yourself #i mean it's not nice but it is yknow #but omg i just got a bunch of great news that made my self esteem skyrocket and it's just like wait wow people like me my company is wanted #IT'S NICE #and just when i wanted to be productive i'm again back to vibrating with excitement mode and unable to do anything

“Okay you have any questions?”

“Yeah... can you step over a bit?”

“Why? Can’t you see everything?”

I said I’d do it, so here’s the full-proper version of that family tree Glimmer was sharing in an earlier comic. Yes this will be updated when Baby #3 gets namedropped... whoever they are.

Also I only omitted whoever else is associated with Houses Rhodes and Doyle to save my brain and canvas space, as well as Rex’s parents, and Nia’s father and sister as they do not have actual images to refer to. (Otherwise yeah I remember they exist, don’t prod me.)

feeling bad about my art lately. will probably not post for a while. but i wanted to at least dump some stuff here before i retreat into my hidey hole

#hivemind tv #hmfcu #riley savage #graydon weaver #quadeca #jane remover #eden burke #my art #2023 #fanart #doodles #furry #its like. augh. longtime fleouriarts followers are familiar with my eternal tango with posting art online #doing this since i was 11 has like rotted my brain and made me rely wayyyy too much on external validation to motivate myself #and every year or so it gets bad enough that i take a break. but the break usually only lasts a month before i miss the feeling #and come back and then the cycle repeats #its probably worse now bc this is a fandom where getting seen by the creators is not really that hard #so there have been times where im like 'well idk if i wanna draw this. but if i do maybe hivemind will rt it :-)'#NO!!! THATS NOT WHAT ART IS ABOUT!!!!! i cant keep letting myself get addicted to the numbers going up man i gotta get out of here #and i was reading a quad interview from around when idmthy got released. cus hes also brain poisoned like this. but he managed to get out #and now just kinda comes online to release music and then leave #i need to be like that. i need to take a break from art posting thats so long that i come back as a changed man odysseus style #idk. its been so long since i drew stuff that no one gets to see but me. all the art i keep to myself is just out of embarrassment #i need to relearn how to draw stuff just for the love of creation and not “maybe people online will like this one”#or “this new thing came out i need to prove my love of it by drawing it”#sometimes it leads to good art but more often than not it just makes me feel worse #whatever. if any of yall are in the hivemind jane or quadeca discord i MIGHT still post stuff there. but otherwise ill keep to myself and m #friends for a while i think #woooooo this is queued to post while im in orgo lab everyone wish me luck with my thin layer chromatography

the thing about chilshi is that i see it as super one-sided on chilchuck's part and that's some shit he's bringing to the grave with him

#random thoughts #dungeon meshi #if (somehow) senshi became aware i think he'd be flattered #in like an 'aw thanks man' way #this goes for marcille too btw but in like reverse #i could see marcille having a fledgling crush on chilchuck after he reveals his age #but before she fully internalizes he's An Adult. like an adult adult #like how she infantilizes falin? like that #and like she's honestly chilchuck's type yknow? being blonde and all #but i don't think he would date someone who views him like that #he might tolerate it from senshi for like 4.5 seconds in his fleeting daydreams #but in reality? noooo thank you #this is why i ship laios and chilchuck tbh. he's the party member who chilchuck thinks knows him the best #and he trusts him the most to lead!!!#also because i think it'd be funny if laios (26) started dating izutsumi's (17) surrogate father figure #also because i really like that comic where chilchuck's children judge him for dating someone so YOUNG. cradlerobber #this is quickly devolving into me providing my Opinion on dungeon meshi ships #might as well get into kabru and laios #i don't see it? it might be because i've only read the manga and im bad at fully comprehending those the first time through #but like. first of all kabru is a VERY minor character in my eyes #he mostly becomes relevant during the latter half which is my least favorite part #and ive seen people tote the 'i want to be your friend!!!' panel as like. fodder for the ship?#and honestly when i read that part i read it as kabru desperately grasping at straws to keep laios from going to marcille #his brain to mouth line fully shut down and he was just spouting gibberish #laios even calls him out on it #i see kabru and shuro as being in the same boat? seeing laios as insufferable but it's not his fault #marcille and falin are in lesbians with each other. gay as hell to revive someone with forbidden magicks #they are LESS gay than i was expecting though. which is a hell of a thing to say about two women who bathe together

my top song this year is the subject of ongoing legal actions predicated on the idea that it was artificially made popular by bots but no i just have hated that man for ages and have adhd

#up until mmatbs kendrick's usually been on my shit anyway; he is just good at this besides #mmatbs is a helluva an album but replay appeal is Low considering how harrowing it is #oh god i'm typing a hip hop opinion on tumblr abort abort #hozier and the wombats are also on there that's more the speed here #my second song was the 16yo always where i need to be because something possessed me for about a week #need some kind of tag to put on some songs to differentiate between “listened by choice” and “listened because adhd brain worms”#and same as last year hozier might've taken more song spots except that uu has terminally long lead outs #francesca is better than too sweet but i can't put it on a repeat song loop #too sweet works fine as a loop so there it goes #i'm not usually a start to finish album listener past the first go #gimme a spotify wrapped category for “was willing to listen to this whole album together more than once”

ja'marr with a'ja, sabrina, and ceedee in paris

ja'marr being the only one NOT smiling is killing me -WAIT A DAMN MOMENT.

ok, i had to quickly double-check to confirm my suspicion -and yes! this was the same week the chiefs beat the bills 😭😭😭 no wonder ja'marr's not smiling lol. he was dreading having to watch on in despair as the chiefs win, like, their umpteenth afc championship!

#ceedee: a smile might be good!#ja'marr: ain't nothing to smile about in my life #ja'marr chase #a'ja wilson #sabrina ionescu #ceedee lamb #ig there really was a nike meet-up huh #so much pretty in one photo!!!#must've been after the kenzo event bc ja'marr's still wearing the same thing (although a'ja did change...)#some googling has told me the kenzo event (where the sabrina/ja'marr and a'ja/ja'marr pictures are from) was on the 24th #and the afcc was on the 26th #(for a few moments i did think they were on the same way and my brain was going crazy but turns out kenzo was on friday)#so ja'marr must've been /simmering/ for the whole weekend leading up to the game #dw ja'marr your arch rivals get their asses beaten in two weeks #there's other folks here too (the girl on the left is apparently a soccer player and the guy in the back is apparently a fencer)#but i'm only tagging the people i know #this actually does support my 'ja'marr crashes out in paris' headcanon oh my #if you're wondering about the progress of that fic btw #it's slow-going but it's been fun!#veering into crack-treated-seriously territory but i love it when i get a flash of inspiration for it <3 #(just struck me but he could also be upset from being in paris w/o joe and justin ☹️)

Hihi

I didn't realize until the scene I was writing yesterday for my current fic (the "filling-in-the-middle" fic of my Trojan war series), despite that I'd explicitly written about it a little earlier, but two female characters in this fic are each trying to relate to/gain some form of more male-type kleos.

Helen, of course, wanting something of what her brothers can so easily get, but she, as a woman, cannot. Helen is a demigod, Helen is at the core of why the war is being fought (which, as one of the reasons Zeus is given for starting the war by the ancient sources, does confer kleos on Helen). The other is a regular mortal young woman. She's not a peasant, but she's hardly a demigod. Her ability, methods and limits of gaining the kleos she's trying to get is both more humble, and direct, than Helen's, and has much less of a widespread effect.

They're each in one half of the story, so they'll sort of bookend/match each other, though Helen has no idea this young woman exists and while the other of course knows Helen exists (Helen is, after all, the reason she, too, is at Troy), she'll never meet her. (For a couple different reasons.)

And in a way, their same desires, tackled differently though joined in by both of them being women, kind of echoes the difference in devastation in the Iliad. Achilles, a demigod with his divine mother's ear, asks her to help him get his kleos etc back. This causes so much devastation, but it can only happen because Achilles has a divine mother. Any other mortal, even though they be a king (and even less if they were a peasant or a slave) could not cause this sort of widespread and terrible effect.

#lightart #anyway I am thanking my brain for leading me where I'm delighted to go even before I know it's a good place TO GO

I'm seriously starting to consider to not take the general story crafting 101 too seriously... and just do whatever. In the end the only criterium that's important is if I personally like my story by itself. Or even just that I was able to completely write it.

There are so many things out there that don't follow the general structures, or that aren't even a single coherent storyline at all. The only reason I want to make it structurally waterproof is because I think that's the only way to make other people maybe approve of it. MAYBE. It's because I think if I don't follow the rules I'm going to get criticized or made fun of for it. But honestly, there's no guarantee that even a single person other than myself would even read it. So why the heck am I trying to bend over backwards so much for something that probably won't even matter?! 😂 It doesn't make sense. I should treat this as an effing fanfic and do whatever feels right, have fun with it, COMPLETE IT, even if it's not coherent or this or that fundamental rule is not followed. It DOESN'T need to make sense. Really WHO.CARES?? The answer is NOBODY. A story's purpose is not to make others like the fkn author lol. I really should stop trying to treat it like that. Amirite or
