i think alex and jonny and everyone else at RQ who kickstarted tma in the beginning and who have worked so hard so ceaselessly will always be huge inspirations to me. like. they started in a fricken apartment hallway with sleeping bags and duvets stapled to the walls. alex's entire starting investment went toward bertha, his mixing desk. they initially relied solely on word of mouth and reviews to gain traction. before they could pay voice actors, they worked with old friends and colleagues and peers. and look at them now like holy frickafrack!!!!! mad skills!!!!

the behind-the-scenes bonus content and stuff is incredibly interesting to me so i'm glad we got some of that as part of the season breaks and hiatuses and things

i understand, zombies aren’t exactly for everyone and tbh the genre of zombie apocalypses is a bit overdone now and you can either do it super correctly and interesting or really cringy. there’s no in between, so i’m pretty sure playing the game and all can be even worse if you don’t like zombies to begin with :(( i can’t say i enjoyed the game bc i didn’t play it i just watched it and stayed for the storyline. i’m not a gamer i just like to watch good stories lmao (i can barely play mario kart on a wii) but the series adaptation is neat and the next episode, the third one, is one of my favorites for real 😭🥺🫶🏻

now onto vikiNGS I AGREE OK? I AGREE NO NO LISTEN LISTEN. I do enjoy evil men and evil women in series when they are done right and i completely agree i stan him. Do I agree with him? nah but my gOd he was a good character i swear. I started the series because my grandma recommended it to me and got so hooked for real. I swear whenever my grandma recommends me something to watch i become obsessed with it and vikings was no exception. I also watched vikings valhalla too, but only the first season so far. did you watch it??

ah i did play the game sfhkasdhf but only partially... i played it on my ps5 and i just really didn't vibe with the controls 😭 or rather with having to aim and shoot with the controller, it's so frustrating to me sdjfhsadfh on top of that i am very prone to motion sickness and that game is unbelievably wobbly that it just wasn't enjoyable to play at all 😭 so i just watched a gameplay too sjdfhsajfh i'll be on the 3rd episode soon!! might continue watching tomorrow, i was really busy today so i didn't get to 🧡

HAHAHA YEAH GOOD!! finally someone with taste!!! and the actor portrayed his insanity so damn well too, not to mention... quite the good looking guy... fahlsjkfhas i still follow him on instagram and just follow his every update because i'm down bad. SDHVSJDH what else did your grandma rec to you? 👀 i don't usually watch shows, i mostly spend my time on games but i'm curious 👀 and no i have not watched valhalla! 🧡

I kind of get initially going the "Ork-0 delusionally believes he's Orko" route as like an initial character pitch, like it's not wholly accurate but it gets the general idea across to investors pretty quickly

But when you're this far in and the concept has developed beyond that to the point that Ork-0 has accepted himself as a different person, you seriously need a new, more accurate description :/

hey for everyone talking about jury nullification etc etc: it only works if you lie and say you dont know what it is. if youre chosen for jury duty and they ask you if you know what it is, you say no. here's an article going more in depth, and here's the cgp grey video about it.

like. just so we're clear, it's good to know about, but if you go into a courtroom and start talking about nullification, you could very well have voided your place on that jury. be smart about it 👍

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

also worth noting that "abusive" doesn't actually mean "irredeemable" either.

there's a lot of people that have done things in the past that were bad, because they weren't taught any better, or they were in an overall toxic situation where EVERYONE was shitty (like a cult), or they were just at an especially low point and hurt others for it.

you don't have to forgive them. you don't have to ever speak to them again. you can be angry with them until you die if you want.

but society cannot function if we don't allow them to move on. to change their behavior and fuck off somewhere else and build meaningful relationships without bothering you again. we need a path for people to change, or nothing ever will.

spock’s room decor is actually fucking bonkers. The weapons??? the big red velvet curtain??? like ok phantom of the opera go crazy.

for reference jim’s room has some photos and a plant so we can surmise this is uniquely a spock being a dramatic weirdo thing

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

one of the hottest things ever is forced orgasms. someone fighting their body for me. getting them really really close and telling them not to cum and they're like straining and clenching their muslces trying to hold it back, even though they know i'm not gonna stop in time and their orgasm is inevitable. but they'll try anyway because they want to be good for me so bad. "stopstopstop, please, i'm gonna cum" awww you can't hold it for me? just a little longer? i know you can do it baby. i know you wanna cum so bad and it feels so good and you just wanna give into the feeling, but hold it. you know i'll ruin it if you don't.

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

can't believe that skeleman has turned on us, and Halloween Prom is tomorrow.

(what a top-tier UM...we are about to be just totally obliterated in the absolute silliest way. what possible use could this power have outside of bringing us to the brink of utter holiday disaster.)
