i listened to a podcast that recapped and reviewed s4 and one of their chief complaints when it was said and done was that they felt lamb was a bit too soft now in comparison to prior seasons but more so in comparison to his book version. which i've no problem with—art is subjective and all opinions are valid. and i agree with them to an extent. i do think lamb was a bit softer, a bit gentler in s4. but i don't personally see it as a problem?
i think in a series of books, particularly in sort of spycraft/thriller/pulp crime novels that it makes sense for the lead to maintain a certain shape to the readers? for instance, as a kid i was really into raymond chandler's works and his crafted idol philip marlowe was virtually the same from start to finish. no matter what he came up against, it never fundamentally changed him or how he approached a case.
i understand how characters like that can be satisfying for book readers. whereas, imo, i don't think a character developed for television can every series be exactly the same and it be as equally satisfying. if that makes sense? i think lamb needs to have an arc. i also don't think that means that by the end of the show, he should be jolly father christmas. that will never happen. but i do think it's ok for him to have layers and feel drawn to other characters and have feelings about them. i think its ok if he expresses them.
idk i felt gary oldman did a lot of nuanced work in s4 and lamb imo did feel a bit different but i think it was earned? i think his relationship with standish and river in particular warrants him being slightly altered. and i hope that continues. i love his rough edges and his fear of letting people get close to him. but that only works for me and continues to be interesting if there are cracks where we get to see him trying to connect and work through that.
#slow horses#jackson lamb#also i want to be clear that i disagree with their premise that lamb isn't ever kind or soft in the books#because i can think of many instances where he is both of those things#often times he'll undercut it with a remark or a fart but the intent is there with him and its made clear to us#i think if lamb is only ever cantankerous and rude then that could be very boring and one dimensional and i don't think he's that#i don't think that's how gary oldman ever intends to play him either imo

can we get a james pov of atyd please?
sure dude let me just whip that up for u real quick it's not like the sirius pov took 6 months and hundreds of hours to write + it's not like i'm in the middle of another longass wip + it's not like i work a full time job + have other things to do with my time. you have come to the right place because i am a content-creation machine for anonymous internet strangers and all you have to do is insert a request to get the fic you want! this makes me feel great because i love knowing that others recognize that i am naught but a writing machine for their pleasure and certainly not a human being with limited time writing fic for their own personal enjoyment; clearly as a content-creation machine my first priority should be serving the wants of every stranger on the internet who says "but i'm just asking because i like your writing so much!!!" because tacking on a compliment will definitely ensure that i do not feel disrespected at all by such interactions.
😐
#in all seriousness i know. u likely don't intend to be rude#but this is rude. and it makes me feel like i am seen as a content creation machine#and not a human being#who has said MANY times on this blog that i am not and will not write for an audience#idk whats in the water lately but im sick of messages like this so. usually ignore but needed 2 snap @ someone lol#CEASE with this silliness please#ask

After seeing another anon say what they would do if they were the human in the Chain, I want to add what I would do.
I would be so passive aggressive about befriending them. Like, 'oh, Four, you like blacksmithing, but you hate humans? Watch me learn everything about blacksmithing within a week, and now if you want to learn human techniques for it, you have to get over yourself and talk to me. Or are you going to let this opportunity pass?' Purely because I possess the spite and the ability to learn everything about a topic just for this. I'd just sit there, letting them see all the opportunities they're missing out on. I'd probably be too socially anxious to say anything out loud, so I'd just lurk in a corner until I am finally approached.
I'm boutta make it genuinely impossible to hate on me by being a slightly aggressive ray of sunshine. Twilight has no problems with humans, but even if he did, he'd still be the easiest for me to switch to the 'humans good' side purely because of the amount of interests I naturally share, like horse-riding and wrestling. I'd probably wrestle most of the Chain actually, and I might have some chance of winning as a martial artist and if humans are stronger.
I think I would keep my martial arts a secret though, just so one day I can go 'if I win in a wrestling match, you have to stop being speciesist' and actually win, because I feel like I could pull a bet like that off.
pfft- XD
Being socially anxious and petty is one interesting combo. On the outside, I don't think it would help the rumors much because anxiety kinda makes people look sketchy by default, which is unfortunate. So I think the chain would be more incline to keep their distance while you'd fume in the background.
An aggressive ray of sunshine would be a perfect counterpoint though. It would be kinda hard for them to think much about a potential wall being pull over their eyes if you'd get along with Twilight so well.
They would probably used the excuse that Twilight is used to human anyway- but it wouldn't take long for someone to think that only gives you more credit.
Twilight works/lives/interacts with humans daily. He'd know what to look for if you were being actually sketchy.
And since you get along well enough to wrestle and joke around, you can't be all that bad.
#pinky replies#human! reader#I appreciate the attempt but if racism would end with a single bet I'm willing to suspect it would have been long gone by now.#keeping this in the notes because it sounds a bit rude#even if i don't intend it to be#but i can't currently think of a way to word it differently

I said junk food was unhealthy. Fried mcdonalds is unhealthy. And then her friends call me a hater and they just too it personally which was weird. I am never going to call fries healthy. That’s just stupid
Why is this the hill you and these girls have chosen to die on? None of this matters. Like objectively they are wrong about fries being healthy, BUT, not to sound like a cereal box infomercial, they can be part of a healthy diet even if the fries themselves are not necessarily good for you.
#the turtle gets asks#sorry if this sounds rude#i really don't feel good today (physically and emotionally) and so I'm afraid I'm coming off more abrasive than intended

starting sketching out light and like. HES 12??? like I get it- he's about to be 13- And knight is the oldest at a grand total of 15 but like-
BRO DOESNT EVEN HAVE AN ATTENTION SPAN YET???
like I know they're dumb in the manga but 😭 every 12-13 year old I've ever met is like a certified dumpster fire, which you might wanna consider in his character lmso
but I just feel like after the manga it wouldn't even matter that he saved Hyrule, he's just getting grounded until he's a legal adult 😭
like azure THATS A BABY- Aint no way he's smart enough to have even survived half the manga even with his dumb luck!
im crying please add like one year to all their ages im on my hands and knees is your goal to give this tiny child some form of PTSD because he is IN CONSTANT DANGER.children need to have a sense of safety (and their stupidity doesn't count, blue got swallowed alive and frozen, vio was lying to SAVE HIS LIFE, green was straight up about to kill vio and had to deal with attacking another knight, and couldn't bring himself to attack their own dad, and then red got chased by an angry mob and then lost all will to LIVE with blue in that one temple-) 12 is barely even conscious and self aware 😭
like I know 12 year olds have complex emotions and can handle abstract concepts and start getting into deeper moral understanding- but my human of earth the self awareness is either ONE THOUSAND OR ZERO AND THERE ISNT A BETWEEN AT THAT AGE-
im sorry if I sound rude or something btw I'm mostly just joking and I tend to overdramatize for comedic effect but I genuinely cant wrap my head around him being just 12- like at least 14??? maybe bump knight to 16 while ur at it? ?
also I'm gonna figure out some way to incorporate the different colors into his hat probably, its big so its like a bag lol since in the manga blue just shoved his whole hammer in there I'm pretty sure
smithy will be extremely small without complaint.
feel free not to take my words seriously tho lol I just cant imagine a 12 year old going thru the manga, like look me in the eyes and tell me a 12 year old-
if I misunderstood anything lmk lol I am a lil stupid sometimes
HAHAHA YES HE IS IN FACT TWELVE. The Legend of Zelda is a series that's all about "yeah let's hand this child a sword and let him go nuts" (to use a popular example, BOTW Link being canonically handed a sword at age four and is said in Mipha's diary to have been able to best grown men in fights: "At the request of Hyrule's king, a group of outsiders came to greet us at the domain. One of them was a Hylian child of only about four years of age. His name was Link. He made quite a first impression. He was curious and full of energy, with a ready smile. Are all Hylian children that way? One thing that surely sets him apart is his swordsmanship, which I hear is exceptional. He has even bested adults. He must be somewhat reckless, however, as he was covered in bruises.") and I absolutely intend to lean into that as much as possible. Light's age comes mainly from comparing Akira Himekawa's designs for Links of varying ages side-by-side with each other; for example, you have Minish Cap Link, who's very obviously drawn like a young child:
You have Twilight Princess Link and Ocarina of Time Link, both drawn to look like older teenagers (and we know OOT Link's older age is 16-17 depending on who you ask):
We have Skyward Sword Prequel Link, who is a fully-fledged adult (his other panels illustrate the difference more sharply, but this is what he looks like, so):
And then we have FSA Link in the manga, who is drawn to be VERY visibly younger than OOT, TP and SS Prequel Link, but is definitely visibly older than MC Link (he's got the rounder face + eyes, the shorter stature, and it becomes even more visible when compared to the knights in the FSA manga itself):
His maturity level also does, to me, match that of an average 12-year-old nepo baby (which he really kind of is)—kid who thinks he knows everything & that he's hot shit but is kind of a giant train wreck internally.
All three Four Sword heroes prior to him were explicitly stated to be "young boys", and FSA manga Link is really no different in that regard—in the context of my own AU, he's actually the one who went on his adventure at the oldest age (with Smithy going on his around 8-9, Four going on his at 10, and Knight now going on his at 11). It's just been a shorter time since his adventure than it has been for the others ^^;
#you don't sound rude don't worry! i personally find it hilarious how young they all are and really intend to lean into it#as much as possible. a twelve year old who is already a knight of hyrule is just really fucking funny to me#and even more indicative of him being a nepo baby because his dad's the fucking captain#asks#my silly au

i do exaggerate onni's rudeness sometimes mostly for comedic effect but it is genuinely one of my favorite things about him. i feel like i see a lot of hmm. how do i put it. a lot of characters that are rude are cruel or antagonistic or egotistical or angsty or they don't mean to but not many characters i see are genuinely just uninterested in talking to people + uninterested in politeness on a personal level. i find it very charming like just look at these panels.
what a dick. ilove him so much.
#i also just really appreciate his bluntness LOL like he's definitely rude about it in a way he doesn't need to be but umm i love him.#so he's allowed.#gush:{🦉}#i don't think he really even like. intends to offend people i just also think he's not unaware that it does.#it's like. hmm.#he knows he's being rude but simply doesn't care about the other person's opinion so it doesn't matter to him LOL.#i wouldn't describe him as Mean bc the intent isn't there. he's just Rude.#AND SO CUTES!!!!!!!!!!!

honestly, completely understandable. if i may give a basic concept of my vision. consider an MMO, let's say... warcraft, because I can use it as a decent example. we take the Eastern kingdoms there, and measure it, clocks in at about 24 kilometres across. that's about the distance from my home city to the nearest one, and personally? when I hear "virtual world" that shit is way too small.
when I imagine a virtual world, I imagine it almost like an smal country in it's own, let's say for a different example, the size of florida. now consider how much server space warcraft uses, even if we estimate only a 3rd of that is the Eastern kingdoms. then we scale thar 24 Km length to... about 720 Km and you'll probably see where the sheer scale of the servers are needed. and when you've got all those servers, heat will be an issue. either one could essentially run their system through instances and try distribute the load, or you gotta find a way to deal with all that heat.
the best way I can imagine, is by reducing the energy waste of the servers, in which case my first thought was the ideal in a superconductor. if resistance is 0, efficiency is near 100% and nearly no heat is produced. alas we don't live in a perfect world, and while it's fun to think on applications for stuff like that, it's also painful to know the best we've got (in this case fibre optics and silver) isn't even close.
I can tell our visions are different, and thank you for the well wishes, I hope you can make yours a reality because like this I certainly can't.
I respect that you took what I said without hostility so I don't mind continuing this conversation.
While I don't know things like Warcraft personally; I do know a good bit about how servers work and the like. I think you're really getting caught up in the weeds so to speak. By which I mean, you're concerned about problems you don't have, stopping yourself from taking the first step because you're being prevented by imaginary problems.
If you look up EVE Online's size for example you'll find a notable quote that states: "With a total area of 11,126,487.6 Astronomical Units² (AU) — or in other words, 249 sextillion km² — the playable universe of EVE Online earns its place in the halls of greatness when it comes to sheer size." Now EVE actually only runs 3 servers, but from what I understand has plenty on the back end working to keep everything running smoothly.
In other words, what you're looking for isn't nearly as big of a deal as you may think it is. You're speaking of superconductors, heat, and resistance as if any of that honestly matters, and it just doesn't.
Data centers house literally thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of servers. Most MMORPGs run parallel instances of their game worlds 10 times over per region without any issue.
Again I really don't want to come across as being rude or looking down on you or something. That couldn't be further from my intention and I do apologize if I come across that way; it's hard for me to know what kind of tone I give off but that's not an excuse for me to be an asshole.
That being said I don't think you have an understanding of this as much as you think you do. I believe you're getting caught up on a fictional problem created by a fictional situation that you're not even dealing with yet.
I can't just let someone give up on something before they even start just because they don't have a full understanding of the actual situation at hand.
Games like FFXIV, Mabinogi, or even games like Black Desert Online, and Elite Dangerous or No Man's Sky; they're all MASSIVE and yet they use tricks like instances to keep their games running smoothly while running on a singular server.
Even Warcraft, which I admittedly don't know a lot about as I don't play; can be easily looked up and you'll find that:
"Blizzard uses 20,000 systems and 1.3 petabytes of storage to power its gaming operations. WoW's infrastructure includes 13,250 server blades, 75,000 CPU cores, and 112.5 terabytes of blade RAM. The Blizzard network is managed by a staff of 68 people."
These aren't impossible numbers, but you're also not Blizzard. I'm not Blizzard. We're not dealing with numbers that large, we don't need to because we don't have the demand for it.
When developers like CCP Games (The developers behind EVE online) made the game in the first place, they had a few thousand people playing it and managing their servers became a real problem for them; but they also had the money and staff necessary since they were a company who was selling thousands of copies of their game; that they could afford to upgrade their servers.
CCP ran into more issues with modern tech keeping up with their demand but ultimately had the money to keep up with buying the latest greatest for their servers and staff to keep their game running.
They didn't stop themselves from attempting because of the need to run a game as large as EVE before they ever made it; they expanded the servers and game world over time through understanding current limitations and figuring out how to feasibly surpass them.
I don't say this all of this to put you down, rather I say these things because it really feels like you WANT there to be a problem.
It's easier to give up and not try when you feel like the only possible solution to your idea is entirely out of your hands. If it's an impossibility from the start, why bother right?
I used to be like that too, which is why I feel like it sounds familiar. Fear of trying and failing amounts to determining that it couldn't be done to begin with; because it feels like we're justified in giving up when the task is literally not possible.
When you say "I hope you can make yours a reality because like this I certainly can't." You're telling me you feel like you're not able to achieve what you want, despite the fact that it's entirely possible without all the fancy computers and stargates and sci fi shenanigans.
I'm not trying to speak for you, we don't know each other; you're an anon I'm just some random blogger on the internet. I can't claim to understand you and all that, so please take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt, it wouldn't be wrong to necessarily say I'm projecting here; because I used to very much sound just like you.
The thing is, you're right; you can't achieve what you want. Not as you are now, not when you won't try. Because until you've created anything at all, until you have a world to put out there, you can't possibly even have to face the problem of server space or thermodynamics and shit.
So worry about what's in front of you; get out there, make mistakes, learn and grow. Open Unity, or Unreal, or whatever application you prefer and just make a small map it doesn't matter if it's good just make SOMETHING.
Take the first step.
You can call me short sighted if you want but when I think about creating a virtual world my worries are not on the problems that might happen down the line; they're on whether or not I can even get there.
A poor man worrying about what to do when he wins the lottery doesn't make any sense if he can't afford to play the lottery.
A prime example of what I mean is that, for my plan to work I need some way to link worlds to each other in VRChat while keeping the linked worlds set to private so there's only one way to access them, that way being through the hub world.
The problem here is that I'm about 90% sure if a world is set to private, it cannot have a portal linking to it in a public world; it just won't work like that.
So why am I not working on a solution to that problem? That's really simple, and it's as easy to explain as; I won't even have to deal with that problem if I can't make the worlds first!
I can't let myself get tangled up in the details of things not working exactly how I imagined they would before I even have the worlds I need to link via portals in the first place.
This is a classic example of "putting the cart before the horse"
There are a thousand different ways to go about fixing a problem, but you don't need to worry about a problem you won't ever have. That's just an excuse to not try!
I'm not saying this to point a finger at you and say you're doing something wrong, I'm saying this because I want you to consider this for yourself. I want you to take a look at yourself and really think about if those server problems and the laws of thermodynamics are stopping you.
Or is it something else?
I think you'd understand this all a lot better if you actually took the steps to try.
So here, I won't hold you to it; I won't mock you if you give up or whatever. However, whether or not you take the real first step is up to you I can't force you but it sounds like you want to, so let me try to help.
Download Unity, it's free for personal use. Let's take the first step here.
Open the Unity Hub, in the upper right you'll find a button that says "New Project" click that.
Now select whether or not you want to use 2D or 3D; I'm going with 3D because I'm going to be making a world for VRChat.
You can use whichever version of Unity you prefer.
Click Create Project in the bottom right.
My screen may look a bit different than yours because I'm using the VRChat Creator Companion which has a whole suite of plugins it adds for the sake of making a VRChat world. That being said, you should be able to follow along just fine.
(If you'd like to grab the Creator Companion and make worlds for VRChat you can get it free here: https://vcc.docs.vrchat.com/)
You should have something like this, minus the Packages/Assets that VRChat's Creator Companion adds of course
We could either create Terrain through right clicking somewhere in the hierarchy and clicking the "3D Object -> Terrain" button, or we could create a world through various assets in the asset store. No worries we'll only use free stuff. For the sake of example I'm going to be using the asset store because I find it's easier for people starting out.
To access the Asset Store we're going to click the drop down for "Window" at the top, and then select Asset Store (I have mine docked but I don't believe it will be by default).
Now in the store I'm going to search for Sci-Fi Styled Modular Pack and set the price to free. You can search for anything you'd like, but this is what I will be using.
I'm just going to click the button that says Open In Unity and add it to my project by clicking the Import button in the Package Manager that should open when clicking the Open In Unity button.
Everything should be selected by default, but if it's not; go ahead and click the All button at the top left, and then the Import button in the lower right.
Now I'm going to go into the Assets -> Sci-Fi Styled Modular Pack -> Prefabs -> Corridors and just drag the Corridor_X into my Hierarchy.
Generally speaking if you don't know how, or don't wish to edit the materials, textures, or models a Prefab or Pre-Fabricated model is the way to go.
Now I'm going to repeat this for 4 Corridor_T and 4 Corridor_L.
It should look something like this:
Obviously we don't want all our corridors to be inside each other, so let's move them into position.
We could do this using the arrows, but we could also use the Transform within the Inspector on the right.
For now, I'm going to hide the other parts by selecting them all and clicking the check mark next to their name in the Inspector to the upper right. This will just make it easier to see what I'm doing.
By clicking and dragging the blue arrow after selecting Corridor_T in the Hierarchy I'm able to see that a number around Z = 12 seems to be right for the spacing, so I will go ahead and use the Transform under the Inspector to place this part at Z = 12:
Doing this for each of the Corridors I can create a complete room this way.
Except of course by just putting the T corridor on the other side won't position it correctly for our player to walk through it, so I'll need to use the Transform or Rotation tool. In this case I'm going to use the Rotation under the Transform:
By selecting the Rotation tool I can see that the Y (or Green) axis is the one I'll want to rotate on. So I'll go ahead and set the Y rotation to -180, and the Z Position value to -12.
Once we have all our T corridors in place we can use this same system to position our L corridors in place, resulting in a small room:
Of course this is far from a completed map, hell it's far from an interesting room. So let's use some of the other parts in the prefab folder such as decorative elements and lights to make the place look nice.
We have plenty of room to work with in here but I'm just throwing something together to give an example so let's just go with some random stuff...
Okay now we're getting somewhere.
Now thanks to the VRChat Creator Companion having a lot of built in features I can go ahead and just click play to give this a go and see how it all looks in play; for base Unity you'll likely need to grab a First Person camera or controller of some kind; they're all over the Unity Asset Shop just search for First Person Controller and set the price to free:
Then just import it into your project and drop it into your hierarchy somewhere.
Now you should be able to walk around the corridor you made:
It's really that easy, and this is beginner stuff; if you are interested in this sort of thing there's a ton of tutorials on Youtube that explain how to do Terrain, textures, materials, even 3D modeling so you can make your own unique stuff instead of using stuff from the asset store.
and you know the best part? I could upload this to VRChat right now, I could just put it live and make a world. All without having to figure out the servers, or battling with the laws of thermodynamics.
You're putting up walls for yourself, stopping yourself from learning the fundamentals of the craft. Don't let yourself be held back by your imaginary fears.
Once you understand how to make a corridor you can begin to expand it into a building, once you understand how to make a building you can put that building on terrain; once you understand how to make terrain you can make entire worlds.
No server farm, or heat problem or whatever can stop you from doing that. Only YOU are stopping yourself.
You're not going to start off perfect, it might not even be good at first!
Check it out; this is the first terrain map I ever made:
Using textures from Mabinogi mind you; I didn't even make my own textures lol. The water? It's just a plane with transparency, it didn't move or anything; you couldn't swim in it.
The mountain range just gets cut off there's nothing more there, the "sand" doesn't submerge into the water smoothly at all. It's all a mess it's pretty bad, but it's SOMETHING.
So I added a skybox because I didn't know how to do that yet;
I expanded the terrain and began working on the parts I didn't like, little by little. This is the seed of a whole world I will create; it all starts here, even though this has NOTHING to do with what I eventually want to create.
Will anyone even visit my world? Does anyone need to? Who knows!
I'm not going to get caught up on the details of server farms and shit when I don't even have a world built yet, I'm not going to hold myself back from TRYING.
now I have moving water, and more space than I know what to do with, so I gotta learn how to make some buildings and decorate the place; I'm working on a fishing system that I'm having to learn how to script in UDON for.
It's not easy, and it's daunting to look at my goals and realize how far away I am. However I'm not asking myself to do everything right this second, I'm asking myself; and I'm asking you to just take the first step towards understanding how to accomplish what you want to.
If you don't actually WANT to do it, then that's fine, it's your life. However if your only reason for not trying is because of server space and thermodynamics and shit that doesn't even matter yet; I'm going to sit here and tell you that it doesn't matter and you don't need to worry about it. Don't go making excuses for yourself, you don't need to create your ideal virtual world if you don't WANT to.
But if you DO want to, just please understand that you CAN.
I'm not saying it will be easy. I'm saying it'll be DOABLE, but only if you're actually willing to TRY, and ultimately NONE OF THIS MATTER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IT.
I'm not going to look down on you if you simply don't actually care.
It's entirely possible that I'm reading too much into this, maybe you just have this idea as some kind of fantastical concept but you have no real desire to make it a reality. Then that's fine! There's no shame in that, there's no problem with that. If that's the case and I've blown this out of proportion I am truly sorry.
However I say all of this because I know all too well what it feels like to want to create something, and to dream way too big way too fast; to think it's not possible without something you don't actually need, and to not even know where or how to start.
I don't want to just sit here and let someone give up on accomplishing something they genuinely want to do; all because they're worried about problems that don't ACTUALLY matter for what they want.
Now sure I get it, you likely want to do your own server hosting, you likely want to run it all yourself. I get that; but the reality of the matter is you gotta start small and build up, no one just pops into existence with a giant project and gets millions of people playing their game or exploring their world or whatever. The average person can't just buy up the server space and memory necessary for it.
However the problems you're talking about and the solutions you're proposing to fix them feel like someone talking from a Sci-Fi RP account. They're not realistic at all. You simply don't need to worry about them, and if they're truly the things holding you back then you really shouldn't let them.
Start small, start somewhere; secure funding for your project when the users who do see your work decide it's worth funding. Move on from there, hire a team; work your way up to owning a proper game company, develop the tools to make it happen.
But none of that will happen if you don't start somewhere, you know?
There's no shame in starting small, there's nothing wrong with creating something just to create it; even if it's not your million dollar idea.
If you really have your doubts, check out Scott Cawthon. Yes, THAT Scott Cawthon. Sure you likely know about FNAF, but you may or may not be aware of his entire catalogue of other works.
The guy was making games and animations nearly 10 years before ever making the original FNAF. This list doesn't even include everything he made.
What I'm saying is, if he worried about making games like FNAF when he was making bible animations he likely wouldn't have ever made FNAF OR any of his animations or other games. He likely would have just given up because the idea of making something so big it would get movies and be something people refer to as "famous" likely would have been extremely daunting.
If you start working on stuff now, you really COULD create what you want to. You could improve over the years, get better at your craft; and find ways to make your vision into a reality.
You just have to understand where to take the first step and stop focusing on problems that don't exist for you.
Anyways I've rambled on enough that I'm probably repeating myself for the fifth time already so I'll shut up and leave it at that.
Once again, I do mean it when I say I wish you the best of luck bringing your vision to life.

don't ask me why i published that i guess i just want people not to talk to me that way
#You have. NO IDEA. how frustrating it is to have people tag your art as things it isn't meant to be#Characters who aren't there. Ships I didn't intend to draw but that people slap on anyway bc they're standing next to e/o#Did you know that's what keeps me from drawing xy and xxc solo?#I couldn't stop people tagging it that way if I tried and writing it in the post makes me feel rude#So I don't.#I don't see them that way and I don't draw it so I ask people not to tag it as such#+ I think it literally explains in my about but like WHO CARES?????#Who gives a fuck if one person doesn't like the thing you like!!!#Unless it's Song Lan :p

perspective is amazing. i am adamant that people taking their shoes off in my house is disrespectful and impolite as fuck. but the comments on that post are full of people insisting that its polite to take their shoes off when they go to somebody elses house
thats genuinely amazing and baffling to me
#yeah its polite if its what the people living in the house want#but as a default? like the idea that its just a polite thing to do inherently? insane to me#its so entitled and presumptuous to me. like ''yeah i intend to stay for a long time whether you like it or not''#''im not gonna ask before i expose my socks or bare feet to your home as if i live here''#like surely! SURELY thats impolite and disrespectful. thats how mum and i see it#also im aware that enviroment changes ones opinion on this topic#because a lot of people in the comments are bringing up mud and snow#and i'm australian... so....#but its still basic politeness to ask first. and also to wipe ur feet on the mat. like. duh. thats what its there for#i guess some people just don't have mats. or floor mats/rugs!#again. its all about perspective#anyways don't take your shoes off in my house without permission or i will resent you and your sheer audacity#besides the fact that its gross - its just rude

The Billions Showrunners Go To See Bway Bmc like lgw "the problem has always been me" and they look at each other approvingly and nod like now he's getting it :) and then the squip's deactivated and everyone's embracing the realities of being a person and rejecting the idea there can be, should be, and is a set of standards to meet to get everything you want and preclude yourself from being mistreated and they're like nooo what a powerful tragedy :(
#then the nyt critic listens in on their conversation like Jot That Down Jot That Down ''jeremy deserved to stay In Crisis & bullied''#it'll be a lingering irritation with billions just like w/any other work that is supposed to earnestly engage w/anything But Then#is ultimately / reverts to being about Vibes instead when it was in fact not meant to be a work ultimately about vibes#like good news i in turn earnestly engaged with your work. that's why it's on sight#winston billions#bmc#was gonna say obviously don't know if anyone from billions went to bmc but No....daniel k isaac confirmedly did lol iconique#can't fathom the thoughts the showrunners would really have lmao#just like i have to assume their thoughts abt will as jared was the typical/superficial ''wow guy we find bothersome rude & undeserving!''#maybe it wasn't maybe it wasn't....but they did only give him a would've been one time bit part whose job was to be so rude & undeserving#like jk save for tossing in an inadvertent? misgendering of taylor for good measure quant kid 2 was wholly in the right#having him be an object to be crumpled up & thrown into the trash was Their intended bookend. but really it's that wags should die#and that winnie n tay was everything. the way quant kid 2 wasn't meant to be a character in 3x03#winston was barely handled as a preexisting character in 7x03 besides the [object to be crushed] & [computers?] angles#Except the flickers of specific interaction w/taylor; totaling like 3s overall fr; were what was most like ''yeah he's someone specific''#anyway again ''you were purporting to make something about anything but ran over that w/your Vibes Based approach in the end'' annoyance#couldn't lose in s4....yearning to be able to film winston more; which would've been him being [winston: __ everyone: get his ass]#but b/c he wasn't very available winston is presumed locked in a supply closet somewhere not invited to meetings or gatherings. works too#k&l surprised at ppl not picking up on an intended Literal Death Exception to think not Everything the main epic winner does is epic win#like well yeah sure but your show was then in fact about how all that really matters in the end was being in the superior Winner class#whereupon it's then not about your actions & their consequences so much as it's about your feelings & intentions#and it's not so much about That (relevant specifics expire 6 eps later or by the end of the season) as it is abt being that Winner#then thinking losers Could get organic aba (abuse forcing compliance) like well yeah of course!#the classic excuse about a hypothetical Conversion into winnerdom/correctness to uno reverse blame/responsibility#anyways like i said it's on sight; a testiment to that attentive & earnest enough engagement w/your work out here lmao#everything Else abt billions making it more & more incredible they had Taylor in the midst of it all#but by in fact going ''this character is supposed to Contrast w/usual 'winner' traits'' you Do disrupt that Vibes Based approach#and ofc can't consider some kind of ''oh nooo they've become fr thee Typical winner'' b/c failed step one they stay nonbinary#casting winston just as serendipitously more than billions deserved or could handle#will roland acting it tf up right away even w/quant kid 2 in a way the writing would never step up to lmfao. beautiful

Elementary!Holmes talking about his somewhat abrasive personality / social skills using phrasing that could have been pulled Directly from popular autism acceptance essays, like ok man. i see you.
#N posts stuff#specifically the line:#'there is not a warmer kinder me waiting to be coaxed out into the light'#that's basically a paraphrased Quote from that one Jim Sinclair essay hello#it IS worth noting that these sentences come immediately off the heels of Sherlock saying that he Does intend to be more polite#/ courteous to the people they work with BUT he is clear that his Intentions can only go so far since these are skills he has to#Manually interface with - there are going to be times where impulse carries out over the effort of masking#and also times where he simply won't consider masking worth the effort it takes to maintain#and it's. as someone who can Often be accidentally rude / discourteous to others' feelings without meaning to be#it does mean a lot to see holmes so steady in his own acceptance of himself - 'i'm neither proud of this nor ashamed of it - it simply is'#it's the same sentiment as that d20 rapunzel quote - 'i'm Sorry if i come across as unnerving and I don't mean to be. but sometimes I#Just Will Be Unnerving and i hope you'll have patience with me wrt that' just like.
