thinking about Piper's claiming scene in TLH but instead of her getting the stupid dress (that isn't even Greek-style it's just stupid) she gets a tear dress. cause that'd be fun.

#pjo #riordanverse #hoo #piper mclean #like. i feel like it'd just be a nice combo of things that fit well together #a.) actually appropriate and reasonable for her to wear around b.) fun acknowledgement of Piper's culture #c.) probably one of the few dresses (modest/simple/comfortable) Piper would not hate as someone who usually dislikes feminine outfits #d.) implies Aphrodite has actually paid attention to Cherokee culture and fashion which is nice #also then as a bonus you could have both funny and endearing thing of Piper going ''...can i keep this?''

Oh, wait, wait, ok, I can tell tumblr my news now.

I was accepted into the JET Program and will be moving to Japan for one year starting in late summer to teach English. : )

I don't know how many other applicants have ever had either of my specific application 'angles'. I think they were both pretty weird, but also very, very me, and I'm pleasantly surprised that they seemed to have worked, going off both by the acceptance and the very positive and warm reactions I got during the interview I had. These were:

Science/scicomm/museum background + implying mutual interest in and love of like insects and sea life could be an avenue of intercultural connection and exchange

India and Japan have always struck me as weirdly similar in ways nobody seems to discuss, especially in both being simultaneously hurtling into modernity and deeply traditional/conservative in many ways and places

So. Is this a silly idea considering most people in this program are fresh college grads, and people my age are expected to maybe be getting more settled rather than hopping continents? Is this a scary idea, considering I'll have to uproot all my shit and go exist in a foreign country whose language I really don't know beyond miniscule smatterings? I mean, hmm, yes on both counts, but I'm very excited. On count one, I'd only get older in the future and demonstrably *don't* already have a settled life and career here to disrupt (lol), and on count two...guys, I'm so so tired of letting fear and inertia make my life decisions.

Time to pack up and store most of my shit and end my lease and. Yeah. Also I haven't actually been to India in five years and will probably try to visit my relatives there in the coming months since idk if i'd had an opportunity for a prolonged visit in the future during the one year (at least) in jp. I'll also be probably selling, trading, or giving away a lot more of my hobby shit (that was sort of an ongoing project already but since I'll be unable to use most of it for a year plus it's another reason to do so), so uh, if you've ever wished I would sell any of my dolls now might be time to commit BJD Hobby Taboo and ask me lol. And, obviously, I'll be studying more Japanese, because mine is incredibly へたくそ at the moment. So much to do. But I'm really excited. And thank you to all of y'all that have been encouraging to me about anything related to this matter <3

#i don't know where they'll put me but i asked for ibaraki prefecture #during my research i became really endeared by the idea of The Prefecture Everyone Thinks is Ugly and Boring lol #seems like a good combo of 'not too far from urban things + cost of living + genuinely there ARE nice natural and cultural things there'#they could put me anywhere though lol #already one of my fandom friends from there wants to meet up ;; im so flattered #im obviously not going there to do doll and fandom bullshit but that stuff will be a nice bonus in off time #i have very little idea on what to expect specifically re japanese attitudes to south asian people and am interested to find out #and maybe be a bunch of kids' first exposure to both americans and south asians and like immigrants as a concept : 3 #keeping my expectations tempered though. It Could Suck #but it'll suck in a novel way and truly i thrive on novelty even though often i take the easy and familiar path to try to protect myself #just. aaAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaa scary but exciting im so excited

the more x-men I read and watch the more fond I get of scott. even when he's bad he's still kind of good in some way shape or form. this is also proportional with my growing dislike of wolverine

#razpost #marvel #like if he's a genuinely nice it's like yay :) hooray my friend scott :)#if he's an uptight mean bitch it's still always kinda funny i'll defend him for it #best scott is a combo of both of course #i already didnt care for wolverine and now i'm finding more and more versions of him i don't like #sourryyyy i know theres good ones i just don't generally care for his character type

Sorry, I can’t, I’m just too cute today 💕 (Patreon)

#Doodles #DDoodles #I have had a very good day today :D Lots of laughing and reading and playing and to top it off I look and feel extra cute :D #My favourite hoodie and a tank top underneath - realized recently it's a killer combo hehe #And a rainbow heart bandana my brother got my for Christmas <3 #I have been wearing it and the other one he got me camp-counselor neck-scarf style for what I think are obvious reasons (Handplates)#And technically ''normal'' pants but they're a very shiny material lol #They're not leather or squeaky or anything they're this nice sleek and heavy material #Very nice to the touch :) Just very shiny!#I've always love the look of bare shoulders and everything else covered and yup! Looks cute on me too! Haha ♪#So since I was feeling so cute I decided to make it my warmup :) Which ironically lasted longer than my intended art of the day lol #Didn't feel like it tho! :0 I felt slow the whole way through both lol practice leaves me so quickly haha #Still tho :D Rather pleased with both!#A good expression of my good day hehe ♪#First digital of 2024 off to a good start ♫#[First uploaded Jan 5th] Lol

im pretty new to actually playing yugioh and i hit diamond in master duel just now!! :)

#platinum tier 1 was weird all duels but 1 i played there #people just played cards that said your opponent is not allowed to play the game #and if they failed their lock your opponent from playing combo they just surrendered #is this normal??#I did the thing I think youre supposed to do when facing that kind of stuff frequently and altered my deck for those strategies #but I didnt have to play any yugioh to rank up to diamond which is pretty sad #I was playing snake eye #its actually pretty fun and its strategy isnt “your opponent doesnt get to do anything” so when I actually got to play games #i enjoyed both wins and losses #i just casually played some dark magician / cyber dragon games every month before snake eye it was nice to try a deck that does a bit more #amararala posting

Good morning gamers!! Hope you're all doing well! As for me, I'm thinking about this bastard again-

#pan rambles #He looks good-I MEAN HAHA DID Y'ALL HEAR SOMETHING?#Jokes aside though. Knowing what a fashion disaster S.anji can be... I'm pleasantly surprised his egghead arc outfit isn't awful #I was fully prepared to have some awful color combo but it's actually nice #Blue and Yellow... That's also my s/is color scheme ahem-#talking about anythind related to the end of Wano or anything past that makes me 👉👈 A bit #Bc Panchi/S.anji officially start dating at the end of Wano #“Panchi did it really take over 1000 chapters?-” YES IT DID #They're both stubborn idiots who struggle to put their emotions into words! especially feelings of affection!#They'd sooner take a deadly hit for the other than admit they like each other! and the fact the two are so stubborn doesn't help #They're both incredibly flawed but they both grow to the point where my s/i can finally confess-#Ahem that was long ny apologies!#Ask me about S.anji/Panchi and you'll get a whole essay and sometimes even some of my writing-#I'm so normal about these two (Lying)

Star Trek is...

The very first draft of TOS was written in 1964 and can be found here on the memory alpha wiki. Shown below is the original description for what James T. Kirk would become... and something sounds oddly familiar...

As an added bonus, here is the description of the second in command, at the time named "Number One."

The mysterious female executive officer, she was described as a slim, dark "in a Nile Valley way" and of uncertain age. She was expressionless, highly intelligent, and always cool under pressure. When Captain April left the ship, she would serve as "Acting Commander." The role was written by Roddenberry for his mistress, Majel Barrett from the very start. She appeared in the first pilot, but her mannerisms were assumed by Spock in the second pilot...

#listen im just saying some themes were there from the start alirght #also they told roddenberry that he could either have an alien on the bridge or a woman second in command but not both #so they said fuck it and gave the alien the personality and roll of the lady #a nice two in one combo #star trek #spock #kirk #tos #the original series #spirk #star trek tos #first draft proposal #roddenberry #spock does have an entry himself #they toy with him being half martian and a redder skin tone #“his only weakness is his extreme curiosity” fuckin adorable

it just set in for me that i start community college this upcoming monday literally less than a week from now and i want. to throw up

#its a combo of omg holy shit my life is progressing im healing im reforming into a human being im a real boy #and ✨academic trauma✨ reflecting on my life now vs the last 6 years and the last time i was in school #and im not handling it well. maybe i am a little cuz so far i have held back the tears but i dont think thats an acceptable bar #the tears are certainly there. and i most certainly feel like losing the little ive eaten today #ive also started seriously considering if it would be more or less strategic to skip cr today in favor of playing smth with a friend #i was like dang its important to take the time when we're both free #but also cr uploads on mondays and ive reignited my interest in watching live and i dont trust myself to fight the vod impulse on that day #i want things to be different and i want to do good and i want to feel all the progress ive made in action #so if she is available today im gonna be honest and say sorry i cant play this thing we were both excited about bc ive got a 4 hour #nerd show tonight. and im gonna feel really shitty about it.#feels shitty and stupid to choose a piece of media thatll always be there over quality friend time #but i know if i dont get this shit thats always gonna be there over with NOW itll be really hard to put off later #hhhhhhh #im a mess dude ima finish the video i was watching before i started having a crisis and then im gonna take a bath #and then maybe stardew valley. it is the game for when life is falling apart and i just deep cleaned my desk itll be so nice
