I don’t even know what to say except
#I mean it doesn’t surprise me#but chee-ee guys you have a JOB to do!#can ya focus for two seconds??#sure it was good that they didn’t reveal any secrets but#come on#guys#IS that all you two think about?#I was going to say that if jug was in this scenario then they would actually be in trouble of revealing secrets#but honestly his stream of consciousness would just be about food#nobody’s innocent here#archie comics#archie andrews#veronica lodge#jughead jones#the man from r.i.v.e.r.d.a.l.e.#contrast this with gizmo in explorers of the unknown#TWICE it is clearly implied that he has a crush on wheels#but it doesn’t end up going anywhere (during the actual adventures at least)#because it’s not the POINT. the point is saving the world from supervillains.#and gizmo gets this and sets aside his crush to focus on the problem at hand#unlike red kissing at least one of the girls per issue#giz knows how to focus and prioritize and I respect him for that

#they have the same sense of humor try and tell me otherwise#tgcf#tian guan ci fu#xie lian#hua cheng#hualian#Xie Lian thinks it’s so hot when Hua cheng is evil and rude and we love him for it#same tbh#he can’t be blamed#I always laugh at that part in the donghua when they’re telling xl horror stories of hc and he’s just like#what a nice name#the funniest part of it all is hc is 100% aware of this#I think for a second before their reunion a part of him was probably worried like what if he’s scared of me or doesn’t like my attitude#and then quickly learned he’s into it#and exactly how alike they are#I mean I’m sure he knew to some extent#but they never really hung out casually until the start of book one#so I’m sure there were at least a few surprises#ramblings

one big thing I’ve learned by 29 is that the Plan, the God’s Plan of it all I mean, is bigger than me and not just bigger than me but also bigger than my understanding of narrative threads and their limitations. And it’s bigger even than just a simple paradox, turning-on-their-head thing way of being bigger. It’s just so vast. And there is so much room for surprise and possibility and hope in that reality.
#again. idk if that makes sense#but I am someone obsessed with the patterns and what the patterns are telling me#and it’s like. sometimes nothing! but also sometimes something!#there is no way to predict what will happen or what will be presented to me or what will unfold#both personally and in a more big picture way#based on what I feel or what I know or what I have already experienced#there are hundreds and millions of different possible combinations#I am making this sound more profound than the revelation is (and also more vague)#but I love to be like ‘oh being this way means THIS thing and this kind of thing always happens to this kind of person’#and actually. it just doesn’t?????? a million different things could happen and do happen every day that are unlikely and unpredictable#even when you think you’ve accounted for that by looking for the unexpected you still can’t tell#and I love that. used to hate that the future was shrouded in mystery#and I still sometimes do. but I am growing to love it#uncertainty and just the sheer not knowing feels better#and God IS surprising. life is surprising!#THAT I feel like I know#every day of my life I wake up and I pry open the blinds and I look out and say.#what is going to happen today#like I do kind of do that a little#or maybe it’s more. what has the night brought.#and you know what the world is so wide. not in terms of me being able to go anywhere travel-wise#or do anything dream-wise. but in terms of what can and DOES unfold every single day/week/month/year.#there are surprises in store! folded tucked away around the next corner#like I just.#I’m getting carried away but AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Why are people always so shocked when South Park handles a topic well?? I’ll see so many articles that are like “wow even SOUTH PARK is calling you guys out” tf you mean? They’ve BEEN doing this??
#I’ve seen fans of the show do this too#like why do people act like this show is nothing but a bunch of hateful nonsense???#I can’t help but wonder at times if some people here even LIKE the show because a lot of what I’ve seen makes me think otherwise#it’s one thing to be critical of the show (and you probably SHOULD be in all honesty)#being a fan of this show doesn’t mean you can’t acknowledge its flaws#there are a lot of things in this series that absolutely could’ve been handled better or aged poorly etc#but DAMN some of y’all I swear (mostly Twitter people)#like I once saw someone complain that the show has antisemitic jokes???#uh hello??? are you new here??#You don’t have to LIKE it I’m just saying#why are we surprised when a show known for being offensive is offensive??#I also just think people need to learn the difference between the show making poor writing choices (as they definitely have) and having#personal preferences#Not EVERY decision made in the show you don’t like means it’s bad writing#sorry I didn’t mean to go off of a tangent lmaooo#people just be getting on my nerves sometimes 😭😭😭

i think it’s funny how when some people talk abt alex turner’s potential drug usage it’ll either be like “he has a major drug and alcohol problem it’s so obvious!!!” or “i don’t think he’s the type to have ever even tried a hard drug” as if there isn’t a ton of middle ground between those two extremes
like the man who wrote “why’d you only ever call me when you’re high” and has been a touring musician since he was 19 has obviously fucking been high - and not just with weed - but that also doesn’t mean he’s completely off his head in every interview he’s ever done 😭😭
#a lot of the assumption that he’s always high is definitely due to his social awkwardness and (potentially neurodivergent) quirks#but that doesn’t mean he’s NEVER high either#i do think some would be surprised just how unavoidable coke is in quite literally any touring musician’s circle#and that said i do know that within the industry it’s rumoured/known that he has an off and on again coke habit#source: my father 😭#when i’ve brought him up w my dad he’s always just like ‘from what i’ve seen he’s a proper genius - vices and all’#i’ve seen ppl comment on how his performances entirely depend on how much coke he’s done and i don’t disagree that that may have an impact#but i think it’s unfair to classify him as some full-blown unfunctional addict#bc trust me when i say that there would be NO doubt that there’s a problem if there was a massive problem#anyway it’s an interesting topic and i do think it’s worth exploring but i also think it’s important to keep a balanced view on things#if we’re presenting them as fact and not fiction#alex turner#arctic monkeys#milex

shitposts but it’s just stuff my students said today:
“DID you guys KNOW there’s an entire SECOND Korea??? And they have ONE LEADER like CHINA????” <- I mean damn I’d be pretty shook too if I ever discovered an entire country hidden in plain sight
“The monkeys came back down the mountain to my other school and we all had to lock the doors and windows again.” <- As if this is a normal thing that happens everywhere?
“IT’S MY MOM’S BIRTHDAY!” <- but he says this every day???
“Sometimes I make my mom angry and she goes outside and takes a long walk.” <- love the confidence with which this was delivered, no notes
“What’s skibidi-do-dah?” <- oh no
#skibidi has made its way across the pacific in the last couple weeks too god save me#for context on the first one South Korea doesn’t have “south’’ in its Chinese name so I mean I guess I can picture the surprise#and the name for North Korea is totally different#teacherblogging

it’s funny how things have gone full circle with malenia. she was so hated when the game first came out, but then people grew to like her. then the dlc came out and now people hate her again lmao
#i mean it’s hardly surprising given what we now know#she did all that awful shit and wasn’t even charmed#like i see people talk about how stupid miquella is because of this plan to essentially trap radahn#but that also makes malenia look stupid af too#‘go to caelid and kill radahn so i can marry him’ ans she was like sure#miquella wanted the one guy in the lands between who loves war and fighting to be his consort for his age of peace and compassion…#what a genius he is.#makes me wonder why he even needs some heavy weight to keep order for him when he can just charm people into submission#was radahn just there as a ceremonial position?#oh wait i forgot miquella thinks he’s super kind so that’s why he wants him#miq learnt about the gravity magic horse thing and swooned#honestly still can’t get over how incredibly stupid the twins look after the dlc#i think people like to imagine malenia was charmed just because it makes it all look slightly better on her part#like they are just making excuses for her#but holy shit the fact she was all but willing to fucking die so miquella could bag radahn..#what a thing to die for lmao#and he was apparently present after the battle? but didn’t do anything to help either radahn nor malenia?#instead he was helping a random redmane?#he obviously knew malenia had bloomed but ultimately didn’t care i guess#kind of like ‘oh well if she’s still alive when I get back i’ll deal with it then’#honestly wish miquella had just died in that cocoon at this point#tbh he doesn’t really do much in the dlc anyway they could have made it more about messmer and marika#hell bring melina into it please that would have been more interesting at this point#we didn’t need the dubcon incest plot micheal you could have left that one in the drafts#i gotta get this out of my head it’s driving me nuts#seriously need to move on from this game for my own sanity

One of the things that brings me sm joy is how even though Cyrus is a jerk a solid 75% of the time, whenever he’s talking about something myth related (Aquila, or the entry quests of Azteca) you can literally HEAR in the voice acting how legit passionate he is about it.
Like yea, the man clearly doesn’t have the temperament for the education field (and needs some serious post Malistaire therapy) but you can’t say he isn’t legitimately passionate about Myth, and it’s so heartwarming to see him happy about something when so much of his storylines are depressing as all hell.
#wizard101#w101#wizzy fandom#Cyrus Drake#this is me coming out as a Cyrus Drake apologist#the mean old man got to me okay-#another thing about this tho is that#after finding out that he was taught by baba yaga#so much of his everything makes sense#he comes from a very militaristic world#and then was mentored by BABA YAGA#I wouldnt be surprised if Dragonspyre Academy is where he learned his particular ‘tough love’ teaching style from#doesn’t mean it’s a g o o d teaching style but still

Okay I fundamentally understand why they did what they did w kimallura in tlovm but the reminder that Kima’s been in Emon this whole time did make me double take
#ALSO just bc I understand doesn’t mean I have to like it skdjshsh#I also admittedly don’t remember much of the first two seasons so I’m still working primarily off of the campaign canon#so it always surprises me when a detail comes up that’s different#loved their snow outfits tho v cute#also a fan of Kima w red hair! I don’t think I’ve said that before. it’s cute#candles speaks#critical rolling (take one)#tlovm spoilers#ig#idk. feels better safe than sorry

Might be a little radio silent today and tomorrow, but I'll be back soon. Gonna run off a queue & pop in and out. 💜
#i'll be okay...just not today#tw family death#it’s the day of the funeral and it’s been very difficult#I hate saying I’ve dealt with this since I was a child in my family#but it’s my husband’s grandmother who we were close with#I'm trying to distract myself the best I can and be there for him and make time for my own feelings too#but it’s shitty. the whole thing is#it wasn’t surprising but watching her slowly fade away hurt more than I imagined it would#i keep trying to tell myself i'm fine. that i can keep it together#my first funeral as a child was traumatic cause i didn't understand it and then it...just kept happening to our family#and her (my aunt) anniversary is in September#22 years and it still haunts me in the most bizarre yet beautiful ways#I’m rambling now. I know things get better and it just becomes something you deal with#it doesn’t mean it’s easy#my heart goes out to anyone who knows what I mean#I don’t even know if I know what I mean#sigh. if you read all this thank you and I love you#truly this little corner of the internet has brought me such sweet friends and i cherish you all. so much.#☆.queue

#okay but reading this Belloc essay on Austen really made something click in my mind#and it’s because of something he said#which is that women care more about what men think of them generally#(as a general rule. not all the time. etc.)#and men care more about the opinion of the one woman they care about#like women do care (as a first instinct at least) what every man she meets thinks of her#but men are mostly indifferent. until they’re NOT.#which makes women more vulnerable to a greater number of people#but men are MORE painfully vulnerable to the woman whose opinion they care about#and I don’t actually know that that vulnerability only extends to a woman they are attracted to/feel romantic feelings for#I think if they just think well of you as a person you (a woman) have a lot of power over them#which is sooooo interesting and makes so much sense!!!! and is something I’ve sort of been dancing around with teaching#like. a lot of the boys I teach come to care about what I think about them#which doesn’t mean they all have a crush on me. though that step can be super easy and super small#hence the need for the boundaries of steel etc. but it does mean that they care what I think about them!#and I’ve always felt that instinctively and felt that I had to be so gentle with them because the power to crush them is mine if I so choose#don’t let me overstate it. it doesn’t happen all the time or anything close to it. but the thing about me being a teacher is that#they are forced to know me not just in a surface-level way. simply because I spend so much time with them#and talk to them a lot!#ANYWAY. enough about me but yeah this hit me so hard and of course exceptions exist#and/or endless variations on this exist because people are unique and surprising and also everything is changing all the time#etc. etc. but there is something to this I think! and you know what#it’s so interesting because that base-level instinct for women (allowing it to be a thing I mean) can be grown out of#I have trained myself out of/maturity has helped me leave behind that immediate female instinct#of being hurt at the idea that this random waiter (for example) is indifferent towards me. I’ve come to accept it#the instinct is still there!!! because imo women are always scanning and searching and sizing up. and also we are so open to being won over#if that makes sense? which is why insta comments complaining about how only good looking men get away with things like. PLEASE.#there are so many medium-ugly men who get married. it’s the average because the average woman is prettier than the average man#(this is not an insult) women CAN be and usually are so open to being surprised. won over. moved by the simple fact that a guy likes them#and men are not like that. but my point is: men don’t grow out of caring if they care. when they care they care sooooooo much. anyways yeah

there is a major difference between “this character did something out of character” and “this character did something i didn’t like” and it would really benefit everyone if people learned that
#genuinely if i see one more tiktok about how aye was out of character i’m gonna start strangling#tbh it’s not even just thinking it’s out character#it’s the amount of people i’ve seen genuinely bashing him during our skyy like guys.#he doesn’t need to ask akk what’s wrong bc he KNOWS what’s wrong. if he talked to him about it#or comforted him it would ruin the surprise!#and you can say that’s a shitty thing to do but also he’s a teenager celebrating his boyfriends birthday for the first time#not all ideas are gonna be perfect 💀 doesn’t mean he’s a bad boyfriend or even that he was acting out of character#i’ve gotten so many tiktoks with the ‘i would never say that’ audio and it’s makes me violent like i’m sick of it#liz rambles

there are games that i enjoy playing more and there are games i enjoy thinking about more. sometimes the overall story and themes and blorbos are delightful but actually playing it is a little annoying so i just rotate it in my mind instead. sometimes i get absolutely sucked into the gameplay and the world and the experience for dozens or hundreds of hours and i enjoy listening to the soundtrack but it has little to no lasting impact on me as a person bc something in the story just failed to hit and that’s ok. both are good both are beloved. obviously the ideal piece of media is one i both enjoy actively consuming and thinking about but my mindset is that if a piece of media has any single good thing in it it’s a good piece of media. give me literally anything to work with and i’ll extract joy out of it. i’ve literally never played a game i didn’t like btw
#first category includes games like skyward sword and og twewy#for the record i do love both of those games even as actual games i enjoy a diverse variety of gameplay styles#but compared to some other stuff i’ve played yeah it’s not my absolute favorite#but the THEEEEEMES. the stories of those games give me brainworms#the kh mobile games fall into this category (<- has never played them per se but knows enough about em)#(in terms of gameplay i mean)#(also it is true that watching 6 hours of cutscenes isn’t always appealing)#second category is like. hyrule warriors age of calamity and tears of the kingdom#i bet you’re surprised to hear me put those in the same place#neither of them had the best writing in my humblest opinion but MAN did i enjoy playing both of those sooooo much#i got so sucked in they’re both really fun. in completely different ways lol#this is not to say i didn’t get driven crazy by totk’s story but just compared to other games maybe not as much#and that’s ok!!#oh also neo twewy is in this category. they kinda dropped the ball on the writing (even though i do have blorbos from that game)#but it is a really fun and cool game#botw does both things for me. beloved fav game#most perfect piece of media in existence#every pokémon game i’ve played has done both for me#well idk platinum didn’t have a Blorbo so it loses story appeal to me. but it makes me smile a lot i enjoyed playing it#even if it doesn’t like Live In My Brain like the others#i uh. can’t rank most of the kh games bc i haven’t played most of em 🫠#someday…#twilight princess is hmmmm ok so like the gameplay and music and world experience were PHENOMENAL#midna HARD CARRIED the story is the thing. i didn’t generally like the writing but she alone makes up for it.#in my view it still deserves to be docked points for that but like they did pop off nonetheless#peach rambles#this is the reason i have so much joy in my life btw#it’s because i simultaneously have a very critical eye and i have the ability to put into words exactly what i do and don’t like#AND i have the ability to turn off that part of my brain and optimistically embrace everything in good faith#i give everything the benefit of the doubt and focus on the good
