I think we as young people get caught in thoughts of activities we SHOULD do and things we SHOULD like when really we’re allowed to not like them.
I never went to a high school party, like I had sleepovers but I never went to one of the classic movie parties that get framed as a universal formative experience for American teens. I just never wanted to.
So I thought I’d have that formative-partier experience in college. At a college party or the club or somewhere. “The club” whatever that means. But I never did. I don’t drink, and I got tired at 11pm because I went hiking in the morning, and none of the friends I made went to nightclubs either. At least not regularly. So in the four years I went to college I never went to a nightclub.
And I’m not sad or regretful about that AT ALL. There was a time where I thought I SHOULD be tho. I SHOULD be sad that I never went to a rager in my early twenties. But I’m not. I SHOULD be sad that I never went to a high school party. But I’m not. I look back on that time and don’t regret a single thing. Not in a “I still have time to be a partier” way (even though that’s true) but in a “I’m not a partier and I wasn’t a partier and I’m probably never going to BE a partier” way.
And that’s fine. I like the adult I’ve turned into and none of the things I like about myself were traits that would have come from getting drunk to EDM. And there aren’t any traits I wish I had that would come from it either. I might have missed some iconic experience but I am not worse off for it. And I’m not better off for it either. I just am the person that I am and I like and dislike the activities that I do and that’s okay.

When people are like Wei Wuxian was NOT suicidal it’s like. Ok sure. He just believed that his debt to the Jiangs should be paid with everything up to and including his life. And also that the moral and obvious thing to do in any situation is to put himself between anyone and harm's way. This is because he thinks he’s unkillable but he makes himself unkillable for the same reason he’ll die for a good enough reason: because it’s a way to have worth!
And then famously once everything goes to shit he does beg Lan Wangji to let him die as part of the moment where he is either destroyed by his own evil magic or lets his own evil magic tear him apart, a distinction I don't personally think matters very much at that point. Less explicitly textually, his mentally ill ass behavior after he gives up his core says to me that he wishes that he'd died honorably for Jiang Cheng when he had the chance and doesn't know what to do with himself since he hasn't.
Again I’m aware that he’s operating under a pretty specific set of culturally informed norms as a cultivator and member of a sect but like. TO ME. Everything about how Wei Wuxian conducts himself indicates that he has a box in his mind at all times that says 'in case of emergency break glass' and what’s inside the box is his own death. All the sound of mind actions of a man who has a normal and not suicidal relationship to death.

I like how Sokka x Suki is the least problematic ATLA ship in the fandom. 😭Zutara has some discourse and haters, so does Kataang and Maiko. However for Sukka everyone just agrees: “Yeah, they work, are well written, and are a good couple.”

Whoops hand slipped here’s some TADC character fanart. Apologies for the severe lack of Pomni in this one idk where she went off to…maybe she got lost on her way to find the exit. The lines are incredibly choppy & rushed, I know, but it was still fun art practice! I don’t draw these guys nearly enough anyways so this is a nice change of pace. Support indie animation :3
#you wanna know a secret? don’t like how I draw Ragatha I wish I could do her better 😔#like I don’t know if I make her hair straight or if it’s kinda wavy?? and her eye too idk how to draw it in a satisfying way :((#but that’s a normal dilemma when I’m trying to blend my artstyle with the shows artstyle#keeping the characters on model/recognizable and consistent but also my own style ya know?#making those adjustments takes time and usually I need to draw a character 7+ times before it looks good#JAX ON THE OTHER HAND—OH BOY GOODIE HE IS SO COMICALLY EASY TO DRAW HALLELUJAH LOL#I think the Puzzle toothy grin & toon eyes just automatically agree with me#then Kinger I also struggle with personally#Gangle’s mask shape is confusing at first but then you adjust fairly quickly#Caine is neutral party to me—I know how his design is but I’m not confident without reference material#and then the artstyle translation is another hurdle to juggle <<#his top hat especially like HOW U DRAW 😭 I can manage Puzzles bowler hat just fine but NOT top hats man#Zooble is lovely Zooble peace and love they did nothing wrong just pleasant to draw uwu#Jax & Zooble conflict oh noooo the bitches are fighting /j#Actually this initially started only with Caine & Zooble but I just kept adding others lol#Ragatha & Kinger we’re the very last additions#hplonesome art#tadc characters#the amazing digital circus characters#NOT GONNA PUT ANYMORE TAGS BECAUSE THEN IT’LL GET SWEPT UP AND PEOPLE WILL ASSUME I DRAW THEM ALL THE TIME 🥲#I can’t be held liable for serving TADC fanart content because that isn’t me right now sorry

IM FREEEEEE
#(FROM PROJECTS)#personal#the engineering chronicles#WILL HOPEFULLY NEVER NEED TO SLEEP THREE NIGHTS ON THE FLOOR OF THE ENGINEERING BUILDING AGAIN!!!#one class the final project was to build a karaoke machine which my partner and i had planned on making look like actual speakers and#microphone but we couldn’t find the stuff in time and her mom made a joke abt singing into hairbrushes and we decided to take that and#run lol we used a pink sparkly makeup box to store our circuit and cut out holes for the speakers and decorated it with makeup and put the#hairbrush mics inside and it was very fun actually and our class voted us as one of the groups to go to project day which was pretty cool!!#project day did get canceled bc of. asnow day which was unfortunate especially considering we stayed up until 4am the night before#preparing our documents for it and trying to perfect the karaoke machine when we could have been putting that time toward project number#2 😐 but whatever we still get our extra credit and i can say i qualified for it so im happy enough#then project 2 was for another class but we’re lab partners in both (+ another guy for this project) and it was digital monster pet so we#made a dragon i was mostly on design so i hand CADed the whole thing which was living hell if i never want to lay eyes on solidworks#again but also he came out very cute after MUCH hasle putting him together with all the wires and components bc our wires from the kit are#so bad they’re constantly getting disconnected from each other which we didn’t know would happen bc the labs we usually do we don’t have to#connect them together like that since you’re not routing them thru bodies etc and they’ve worked great until now but anywya.#i did the lcd faces and the light sensor and a couple other things + a lot of the code was copy and paste from past labs and fitting it to#suit the project but for the most part it was a shit ton of hardware on my end while she and the other guy managed the rest of the code#which i really wish i could have been more involved with but oh well. as it is though he’s my baby i birthed him <3 we’re planning on#meeting up over weekends next semester to change some stuff and add other extra features that we missed we got a decent grade 85% but we#all agreed we don’t want to leave him like this we want to add the extra features we had come up with and also i think we should switch out#our motors for servos bc the motors we were required to use#instead suck they’re not strong at all compared to what a servo can do for you. also we want to make it so you can not only pet him which w#already have with light sensors but also wash him with a Hall effect sensor and magnet so like we’d stick the sensor inside and the magnet#inside a little cad brush or sponge is what im envisioning and i have an expression in mind for what we’d do then. also paint him and#redesign the platform he stands on bc it’s rlly cramped and also make a pcb bc we only have him with the microcontroller and breadboards rn#and i might mess with his face piece a bit too im not sure. oh and speakers!!! those were technically a requirement but we didn’t get them#done on time but i want to make him play music sooooo bad so definitely that. anyway want to be more involved in the software when we do#all this. pretty excited actually :]

can i just mention here, it is not show fan vs book fan, at least from me? i know a large amount of my followers came from the show and i absolutely love yall. it was never meant to be anyone against anyone, and i sincerely apologize if that happened. (well, it has, im seeing it, and it makes me absolutely sick.) i don’t know how it turned into this. i do not hate ANYONE for coming from the show. period. i don’t even know where that came from. i can’t stress enough how much i love you guys.
i dont hate any of yall, i don’t want yall to hate everyone either. everything has blown so out of control and we’ve been very misunderstood; im not going to try and explain my claim again here as that is not the purpose of this post, but we’ve been very misunderstood and that led to more misunderstanding and it’s one big spiral of pure hate that we had absolutely zero intentions of starting. i did not post online to say ‘i hate you.’ i did not message on discord to say ‘i hate you.’ because i don’t. and i never meant for you guys to think that, and if you do, im sorry.

Saying that someone not liking elements of something means they want a happy ending or are anti tragedy or anti twisted shit is mmmm a big old logical leap!! I guess some people watch yellowjackets and don’t want tragedy but uhhh idk I have yet to see them have yellowjackets obsessions (not saying it isn’t possible just! seems very much less common!)
I (and many other people who didn’t like elements of this season or it’s approach to shit) gobbled the tragedy the fuck up s1! I was actually sitting at the proverbial table banging my proverbial knife and fork with a proverbial empty plate for the first half of s2 chanting fuck it up, fuck it up, fuck it up!
People having narrative critiques of HOW they did dark shit are not automatically ANTI dark shit lmao like I actually think that the reason much of it doesn’t hit for me personally is the lack of agency/the accidental nature of the tragedies. Like. I want more fucked up shit ACTUALLY. I want tragedy that doesn’t feel corny as fuck in execution. You can very much hate the way nats death and the hunts etc etc were done BECAUSE you don’t feel like they executed the level of psychological horror s1 promised! Also you can love it! Or you can be in between! Or you can not care! But like consolidating any criticism of unhappy story lines with doesn’t like dark shit is a wild oversimplification.
I know people feel reactive and defensive of things they love!! But it’s okay to not agree with someone’s take and ignore it. It’s also okay to engage with it! But like, dismissing any criticism with a weird idk you people don’t like/understand horror/sad shit party line is the worst kind of engaging, because you’re not actually engaging you’re just going out of your way to dismiss without taking what they’re really saying into account!

I’m scared for the kids who might unknowingly buy the Harry Potter game or the books or the movies without knowing what’s going on. We need to ACTUALLY ban this franchise. Burn copies in stores. Smash your friend’s computer if you have to. I don’t know why we’re simply telling people to “read other books” and not going full scorched earth. There’s children out there who could be entrapped into this thing and not know until it’s too late…(It’s not censorship because it’s actually bad. Only minorities should be allowed to censor things because we know best.)

Nice try, buddy.

In regard to that poll going around: I was inspired to rewatch The Gang Gets New Wheels just to double check how I feel about it & I gotta say…. My personal assessment is that it’s good FOR SEASON 13.
the qualifier is important because I’d say out of 16 seasons, 13 is no competition no debate hands down no question the worst season of It’s always sunny in Philadelphia. I think most fans would agree on that like I don’t think that’s anything unpopular or a hot take. Like I highly doubt anyone would debate on this cause I do feel it’s generally agreed on.
But the gang gets new wheels has
*charlie & mac riding bikes (cute!) (yes they kill some children this doesn’t make them less cute)
*Frank is inadvertently besties with a high schooler. this isn’t brilliant or anything but it provides some chuckles
*I get that “times up” almost ruined the show for a lot of people me included & it did ruin the show for many which is completely fair. If I could purge that episode from existence I would. so the timing was atrocious but dees storyline DID HAVE the potential to call back to the underage drinking episode & maybe be funny if it was only well written. sorry x
*Kaitlin Olson & Danny Devito were done pretty dirty script wise but they acted their hearts out
*the ending with the gang in the Range Rover makes it all worthwhile at least in terms of season 13 episodes which are all bad on account of being part of season 13. but this was good for season 13. which I admit is setting the bar on the floor but still.

Hello hello! Just wanted to say I spotted the James Naremore minibook analyzing "Sweet Smell of Success" at the BFI shop last week and obviously had to get it because you have indoctrinated me into having this movie on permanent standby in my brain (many thanks for this). Have you read it before?
i haven’t read in depth any of naremore’s scholarship or listened to his commentary track - i’ve skimmed it enough to get the crux of his interpretations. to be fully honest, i don’t engage with most scholarship surrounding the film these days. my opinion/analysis is pretty fully formed by this point and unwavering. but i think it’s a good document to have for people who are interested!

I think ina is very family-oriented… being able to protect her family (and her community) is a really big thing for her…!!! she’s willing to stand up against a human lord and kill (prob her first kills tbh now that I think abt it ….) to save her cousin and she’s like what … 16…!!!! and she loves her family a lot and I think she feels bad that she had to leave them behind even though it wasn’t her choice. she’s doing her heroic stuff and getting recognition for it, and she’s experiencing things she would’ve never experienced if she still lived in the alienage (like being able to afford fancy clothes and proper food, etc.) and she feels bad that she can do all that stuff knowing that her family is still back in the alienage, living off of rats and whatever they could find. and even though she had that encounter with that spectral shianni in the temple of sacred ashes, she still hasn’t reconciled with the fact that she did leave them behind, and her life will continue without them. like I think throughout the origins plot she gets sooo homesick and she misses her family a lot..! like that was her whole life you know, and she’s still young despite everything that has happened. and I think tabris would’ve wanted children too — obvs not in her current age, but some day in the future she would’ve wanted her own kids and I think she would’ve grown to love nelaros too I mean I make her wear the wedding ring you can loot off of him until zev gives you his earring, but now she can’t have them bc she’s a grey warden, and she can’t even look out for her own family bc she’s a warden and she’s not supposed to have those ties anymore…. like it’s so bad for her! but she has to make her own peace with it … and I think she has enough sense of responsibility to take up that mantle of being a warden, and she’s willing to save these people (the very people who looks down on her bc she’s an elf) but it doesn’t mean she has to like it, or she’s happy about it, she just has to do it, u know…. but if such a choice was possible I think she would’ve wanted to go back home. but she can’t go home anymore so it is what it is … 😮‍💨
#I also like the idea that she treats the awakening companions like her kids lol even though she’s probably younger than all of them#like she’s very protective of her kin. and she loves her family! And anyone who she considers family. tabris has a big heart 🫰👐#so in the end of da2 I don’t kill off anders hawke just tells him to leave bc she’s washing her hands off of him#and I like the idea that in the end he goes back to tabris bc despite everything he’s still one of tabris’ stray cats even tho he’s like#a possessed terrorist bomber. I also like the idea that he gets denied the catharsis of punishment#and he has to live with hawke’s disappointment bc she’s like blue hawke so she WAS willing to help him in any way that she could#but she def doesn’t agree w his method lol. I think she’d be more willing to find a compromise even though that’s like the ‘longer’ route#but that’s usually how it is if u pick the paragon paths anyway#but some tabris thoughts 👐👐 I love ina she’s so wholesome and caring despite being brash#as opposed to shri’iia who killed her own mom so she can get noticed by her cult goddess#and is willing to do everything she can to elevate her status (bc that’s everything to them and that’s what she lacks)#like I think if shri’iia is in dragon age she’d be a city elf but she’d be selling out other city elves for her own benefit lmfao#like she don’t give a fuck 😭 she’s here to get rich eat hot chips and lie
