hmph
simply plural is hard
also I don’t like our tumblr profile picture, but I suppose that since I am not the host (and also im basically never in control) I have no control over that.
oh well. this post was mainly supposed to be about simply plural anyways. because it is hard.
#It’s actually not that hard#I’m just bad at technology#We all are to be honest#Learning new uis is hard#zi speaks!!#pluralpunk#plural stuff#plural#plurality#endogenic system#endo safe

as true as the jokes about “everyone wants to rewrite ninjago” are i feel like smthn people forget when complaining about the inconsistencies of the show is that…. it wasn’t planned? it’s not like most other animated shows lately - it didn’t start with a deeply fleshed out world or a meticulously designed pitch bible with grandiose plans for a long-term story or character arcs. the ninja don’t originally get their powers from heredity because they weren’t hereditary powers yet. the magic system doesn’t make sense bc they literally just made it up as they went! they go back and forth on stuff like whether non-elementals can learn spinjitzu bc it’s a collaborative piece of media made by people with vastly different levels of control over the story, the animation, the sets, etc. that varied over the course of the series. it’s totally understandable and exciting to see so many people reworking the early stuff with the lore and logic later seasons introduced but i personally feel that… if you’re doing that. you need to understand why the show is like that instead of writing it off as being bad and shitty. it was working with what it had. it’s only what it is now because of that awkward troubleshooting phase, not in spite of it
#ninjago#text✨#you’re 100% allowed to criticize the show but i keep seeing people complain about the inconsistencies about like. their parents giving them#their powers especially. like yeah cool that wasn’t a thing yet? they have different origins than the non-core elementals#because in the real world that idea hadn’t even crossed their minds yet! the original story was a more traditional fantasy narrative of#normal people rising to the occasion and *gaining* powers through their own feats. the fact that they changed it later doesn’t mean#it was necessarily bad to begin with or that it’s something that should be mocked#idk just. there’s a lot of hostility in some circles about this stuff and it makes me kinda sad. enjoy the complexity of production and how#series adapt over time. it’s part of why the show is so interesting to me#that essay i wrote had a whole bit juxtaposing the attitudes about technology in rebooted and prime empire and how they reflect greater#cultural trends between 2013 and 2021. it’s SUPER interesting and yet a lot of people only talk about it to make fun of how ‘bad’ it was :(#this isnt to say i don’t enjoy some of the retcons. the changes to their meetings with wu in s8 are genuinely really interesting! i love the#changes to cole’s backstory. i think his mom makes him in the early seasons even better! i’m just saying.. be respectful? nobody *tries* to#make a bad show. ages and ages of time and dedication were put into what ends up on your screens. it’s all human love and creation.#as goofy as it is#okay sry got all anthropology there but hm. been thinking about this for a while. apologies for being the local annoying early seasons fan

Ummm… so what does it mean if someone looked at over half of their family members (most of which are on one side), themselves included, and have thought “oh that sounds a lot like Tech or like something Tech would do or gives off Tech vibes”?
I’m not asking for a friend.
#it all started with my grandfather since the similarities were too hard to ignore#I mean his skills with computers and technology and chess his sense of humor and the ways he shows he cares really stood out to me#and keeping him in mind when I write really helps me to get Tech’s voice going#then I was like oh I do a lot of those things too but that’s just a coincidence we’re just both quirky#then I noticed more and more family members in our immediate circle and I was like hmm wait a minute#and then I got a front row seat to a lesson in some extended family lore…#and I was like ohhh this isn’t funny anymore this is a little weird#like I knew my immediate family resembled the bad batch a lot and other members had similar personalities#but now that I’m deeper I realize that there is a VERY disproportionate amount of fandom and canon Tech vibes being represented#but yeah#much to think about#star wars tbb#star wars the bad batch#the bad batch#tbb tech

Interesting. Don’t necessarily think I’m autistic but I have more going on than just ADHD and I’m not sure what that is.
#I’m not even sure if the ADHD is actually ADHD either or if it’s just technology addiction#Gonna get a REAL neuropsych evaluation at some point out of sheer curiosity as to what the fuck is wrong with me#I relate to a lot of autistic things and I relate to a lot of ADHD things; but I don’t entirely relate to the majority of either population#and I don’t relate to people with both enough to think I have both#I’ve begun treating myself as if I am autistic just for Kicks and using things that help them and it’s helping in some ways#but I know it’s probably not autism because even though I struggle socially; it’s not because of the same reasons#I understand social cues; I was only accidentally perceived as rude as a kid (and most kids are kind of blunt)#(Mostly a moderate amount of “Stop correcting me! It’s disrespectful!” from my parents)#And nowadays because of how much psychology and acting I study; I can perceive shrimp social cues#And I’m purposefully doing all the right things but it still feels like I fail social interactions because of my lack of assertiveness#which I KNOW come from being raised in a cult#so perhaps my odd social behavior is from CPTSD from being raised in a puritan doomsday cult as an only child#Because I was NOT introverted or sensitive to others as a child#I did not have routines as a child and the ones I did have were for fun and did not distress me if I strayed from them#But now I need structure as an adult because I don’t know what else to do with myself if I have nowhere to be#But at the same time everyone feels worse when they have no routine or expectations#And is it actually inattentive ADHD or severe derealization and an itch to do as many things as possible#because I spent my childhood being raised in a boring doomsday cult by disabled older parents who couldn’t physically do much?#(And I don’t fault my parents for being disabled but I do fault them for the whole doomsday cult thing)#So I spent my whole childhood doing mentally tedious things when really I’m more wired for physically spontaneous things#Because I was not allowed to walk around the neighborhood alone until I was sixteen#And I couldn’t hang out with friends I wanted to hang out with because they were bad association#So of course I got really good at drawing even though I don’t even like drawing that much#Of course I got really good at writing even though I don’t like writing that much#Now that I don’t need to escape from anything I find I actually hate drawing and writing because it’s such a chore#they make my heart rate accelerate in a way I don’t like to feel#(I hate writing less than drawing)

i will get bug fables but I need to wait for my brother to help because we are out of space on the switch and I am too technologically illiterate to try to change the SD card and figure out how all that works. If I try it myself I will probably end up setting something on fire somehow
#technically there’s enough storage space if I offload some games but uh#my brother hates it when I do that and wants an actual solution which. is fair#I am just very impatient#be prepared for bug fables posting. probably.#will most likely yap about it unless I find it really uninteresting which I doubt#I am the opposite of the technologically savvy autistic person stereotype#I have the I Cannot Figure Technology Out And I Will Die type of autism#I know someone who’s amazing with technology meanwhile I am over here unable to find the on/off button lmao#not a pikmin post#can’t wait for the funny bug game……..#tho I will probably be very bad at it tbh I’m not very good at video games despite loving them#I still have not finished dream den in pikmin 2 🧍uhhh

family get together means i have to hear the most rage inducing white liberal talking points at every corner
#i’m gonna explode my skin off#i don’t really have a right to complain at all. very first world problem#but i’ve been here 24 hours and i’ve already heard ‘i respect biden so much he put his country before himself’#and ‘how is north korea allowed to compete in the olympics??’#and ‘if i were a north korean athlete i’d run away. also aren’t they shocked by all the technology and the rest of the world??’#and ‘omg i love kamala she’s soooo funny. omg slay queen yes’#and ‘well i don’t want men to feel bad about women saying they hate them. i know it’s hard to be a woman but i feel bad for the good men’#and i wanna tear my face off#average liberal who claims to hate this country when i say yeah i think it’s an imperialistic war machine that should be destroyed 😧#and everyone just gets so angry at me and acts like i’m stupid or violent when i try and push back even gently#mine#personal

Watching people misunderstand zoos and aquariums, I’m going to die,,,,,,,
#‘technology is so advanced we could just create this with screens and AI! and free the animals!!!’#DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT REPUTABLE ZOOS AND AQUARIUMS DO IMPORTANT CONSERVATION WORK#DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN AN ANIMAL IS RESCUED FROM BAD CONDITIONS SOMETIMES TOSSING IT BACK IN THE WILD WOULD DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD#AND THAT A ZOO OR AQUARIUM MAY BE THE SAFEST PLACE FOR THEM TO LIVE THE REST OF THEIR LIFE#SOMETIMES THEY CAN BE RETURNED TO THE WILD#BUT THE ZOO OR AQUARIUM STAY IS NECESSARY TO REHABILITATE THEM FIRST#ITS FUCKING FISH REHAB OH MY GOD#I’m fine. it’s fine. this is fine.

I’ve got a required class that I don’t particularly feel happy doing, but at the end I’ll have the ability to make edits so. The promise of being able to cause myself psychic damage at the end of this will get me through the psychic damage I’ll sustain while doing it.
#I am not the best at technology because the way people have explained stuff to me in my life#usually makes me feel stupid#because it’s like why don’t you know how to click this thing! it’s literally this button right here!#and how would I know that#like yeah I know logically how this should happen but none of these symbols make any sense#and when I hover on some of them they don’t give me the helpful little description#and it’s terrible#there’s always the comments about how your generation was raised on this! why don’t you know how to make a file folder#sorry I was like 14 and had literally no need to before this ma’am#anyways this class isn’t like that but my prior experience with being taught this stuff is bad#not a great place to start learning how to use photoshop#I don’t care that it can do literally everything#that means nothing if it fails to convey how to do anything at all#if you want me to learn a language you have to give me people speaking it first#throwing grammar and verb conjugations just isn’t enough#I’m just going to cry about it for a while and then I’ll be okay again#actually what I really think could fix this is if they taught a theory of computer science course#without any math or stupid shit in it#so I personally could figure out how it goes from a circuit board to YouTube#I don’t need to know how to make a computer or a website#I just need to know how it works#like I can’t do scientific experiments but I know how the immune system operates well enough to be okay with it#better yet explain it to me using Minecraft red stone#and old pixelated video games#can’t promise that this will be the end of me comparing about this#because I’ve got stuff due tomorrow and I need to make myself do it#sorry in advance for the person I may or may not become tonight

I know ai art is overwhelmingly used for evil but as someone with aphantasia it’s actually so useful to be able to ask my computer what my ocs look like
#like can we please stop saying technologies are fundamentally evil#and acknowledge that every technology has both good and bad uses#I’m probably going to be crucified for this post#people will be telling me I’m personally shooting starving artists in the head#by refusing to keep a team of artists on my personal staff to visualize everything most people can just imagine

I’m just a bitch, at my silly little work from home job, begging my silly little boss to understand that if she doesn’t tell me how to get into her damn squarespace account, I can’t possibly tell her if she has the plan she needs so I can insert custom HTML or if I’m going to have to make an interactive jpeg and hope like fuck it just embeds correctly.
So anyway, guess who just dramatically closed slack and is now writing fanfiction on the clock while I wait for her to figure out what her password is because it somehow wasn’t one of the three variations of the same password she uses for everything?
#it’s me#i’m that bitch#and it’s going about as well for me as you’d expect#work from home#working from home means nobody but my cat and my poor neighbors can hear me scream#she’s not even that bad#the woman is just physically incapable of understanding or using technology of any sort

Fuck Microsoft.
#god I can’t uninstall add ons on Skyrim because I play on the xbox 360 & I don’t want to shell out $600 on a new game console/controllers#etc#it’s bad enough that I need to buy a desktop and a new monitor and all the shit that is needed for THAT set up#just so I can endure the dread of college for the 7th time with functional technology#except Microsoft is a piece of shit and apple is like slightly better but not for a majority of gaming#so like now I’m stuck playing a game with content that essentially makes it harder and less enjoyable to play#but I’ve got like 6 games for Xbox 360 and this is the only open world one#I hate planned obsolescence#I hate how garbage Microsoft is#I hate ceos that value money over functionality and programmers that want to look cool#rather than building something functional that doesn’t install fucking malware that tracks/endangers me#I really really hate technology#I hate gaming these days#I hate technology 9/10 too and you can never just be proficient in tech#bc it’s constantly changing by essentially getting fucking WORSE#and in the process of trying to connect to the internet to remove the add-ons I dropped the controller and now#one of the buttons is permanently stuck and it’s driving me NUTS#this has been one of the shittiest weeks in my life and it just keeps getting worse and worse honestly#personal
