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.

for the past couple of days, i've been working on Boe's house in limbo and getting it to look close to how i've been picturing it in my head - here's a couple of shots so far showing off the exterior and interior, with the top screenshot being further along in progress than the other exterior shots.

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

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

I have spent two years working on getting my in-law's cat to warm up to me, and the past couple days she's been perfectly okay to get picked up and sit on my lap for a couple minutes 😌 I feel so accomplished

143. Night/Curse Of The Demon (1957)

now getting into the Niamh/Tommy aspect of the last post bc I Forgor and also it was Getting Too Fucking Long --

I think that's how and why they originally get together and why it happens so quickly, like 3-4 months of even knowing each other before getting married ass quick which is alarming for everyone who knows them considering both of their Previous Relationships.

But Niamh is also a very sappy romantic at heart who wants to be in a committed relationship even if she's now comfortable with the prospect of being alone for the rest of her life. She's always very much been the girl who truly wanted to be married and have love which is also part of why she's had such issues with guys and relationships. That need for love and companionship is very exploitable by bad actors, hence why Diarmuid was so important in keeping her out of the worst situations. Her ex-fiance was just the best manipulator and liar out of all the failed suitors that came before which is why he got so far despite her family being on the look out for fuckboys.

In the time between Diarmuid's death, her fiance leaving her and meeting Tommy she goes through a lot of very brutal introspection and reevaluation which sure, means she's better at maintaining her boundaries and not falling for the wrong guy because of her own fantasies it doesn't do anything for her mounting sense of loneliness. Which is not too far off from where Tommy is in S2, tho he hasn't yet had a catalyst for working through his heartbreak over Grace and her betrayal, he's still in an emotionally similar place.

It's the fact that they genuinely have similar desires for their personal lives and that they're both stupid saps that get them to the altar so quickly. And it's important that it's Tommy so sees and instigates the courtship because it both shows he's worked through at least some of the mistrust from Grace and that he's willing to meet Niamh where she's at, a sign he'll keep doing that when they're married which is big for her trust issues. Once they can both see how this could go in the long run, like the logistics of being a couple, there's no point in waiting because they're both such fucking saps. They'll probably be fully in love with each other by their honeymoon if it doesn't happen somewhere in all the planning lol.

It's probably very alarming to see from the outside but like... they both finally found someone who while kinda being a walking red flag for all their usual relationship issues is also a very very good match for them and like... as healthy a pick as any can be in this fucking series. What I mean by that is that like, Tommy, especially S2 and beyond Tommy, is exactly the kind of guy that Niamh was trying to avoid in NYC and had 1 or 2 interested in her. But Tommy himself, while being a gangster, is still the kind of loyal and loving man she wants in a partner so it kinda negates the red flags for her. Similarly with Tommy, her being a former spy is a red flag, she's also family orientated, intensely loyal and immensely understanding which are all things he needs and values. They're also both intensely ambitious in sectors which don't compete, in fact he can use her goals in the arts as a means of laundering his cash and boosting his image and she doesn't mind that he does, she's even willing to be his top PR guy.

joker 2 was fine. i think reactions are split in two sides: either you think there should have been more singing (correct opinion) or you dreaded every minute of it

my friend described it as an end of evangelion movie and i think he's spot on
