There's this bullet journal YouTuber who I watch on and off (mostly off because she favours the heavily aesthetic style of bullet journaling that intimidates me) but she mentioned off-hand in a video that she includes stuff about any media she's read/watched/listened to/etc. in her reading journal, and I think that's so refreshing. To just flat out be writing little reviews of movies and TV shows and video games in your reading journal in the current reading culture war we're in where people are getting pillioried on social media for not reading enough, or only reading fic, or only reading YA, or only reading "trashy" books, or [insert thing to be snobby about here], is such a great reframing.
I don't think books are "only" entertainment, but I don't think movies and TV shows are either, and also there is nothing wrong with just reading for fun instead of for your intellectual or moral edification. Hell yeah, let's value all types of media enough to write notes to ourselves about what we thought about them!
#most people do not read books at all#fiction or non-fiction#edifying or trashy#and the world has continued to turn#books are not inherently more noble and dignified as an artform#and they are not being degraded by the existence of romance novels you think are bad#literature will be fine: don't worry#people will continue to write what you consider to be important books#it is a basic human impulse to create both art and trash#we've always done both and we will continue to do both#so maybe calm down about who gets to 'identify' as a reader for five fucking minutes

A–Aventio TGCF idea?? Wherein Civil God Veritas Ratio meets the infamous Ghost King Aventurine during his first mission cuz cuz like— The "live for me" paralels?!? The one who has all the luck partner as well?!? The villain who was actually not the Villain this whole time!?!? The loving humanity a little too much it causes their downfall !?!?!?
Rant AU in the tags proceed with caution
#Okay to put it into better words:#Veritas having once being a prince wanted to give everyone the prosperity of knowledge and became a civil god in the pursuit of it.#Sadly this backfires in people using that knowledge for their own greed and creating civil wars within it as well as unleashing far more#Destruction upon the land. And the other gods didn't help Veritas in stopping that bc see that's what happens when people overshare info!!#So the aftermath is just pure chaos plus banishment from being a civil god and thrown as this god of war and plague.#800 years passes and he is seen to just still be doing the same things but I a simple term. Teaching people to read and count.#Often times taking up mission and doing research on new pathogens to help cure the sick that can't afford and somehow during a reading#Lecture he gets ascended back to godhood and everyone is like ??? And even he is like ???#Well he doesn't care much about it and just continues to do what he's always done. Except that once in a while he has to take a detour#Mission to deal with ghosts and other malignant spirits. And upon one of those recurrences he finds himself aquaintanced with#The infamous Ghost King Aventurine. Who is mostly feared in heaven due to having beaten the strongest and wisest at their own games. Even#When the odds where fully against him.#As for Aventurine.#His life was harsh but as the prince had given a lot to the people#Not just education but also free them of diseases and sickness. One of which had struck his sister. He liked the prince and wanted to#Follow in giving and protecting the prosperity of the former kingdom. But the good things did not last and his family was struck in between#The many wars that took place. No matter how much refuge Kakavasha and his sister sought no place was ever#Safe enough for them.#He watched the entire world go up in flames yet somehow he could hate the prince-god for it. But rather the people who had started to#Create weapons in his name. The rest of his years he spent it as a warrior slave and then when death reached him he couldn't even go to#The afterlife since he still held so much vigor and wanted revenge to all the people who had turned his land into ashes and his family#Into bones. That is why he became a mourning ghost.#(I didn't want the kakavasha story to be so centered on ratio like it is in tgcf. Because I think it will be fun for the two of them to#Not recognize each other at first after 800 years and then when they do. Rather when aven does he's full on: oh shit it's the cute prince—#As for who was the cause of the upheaval in the kingdom and the maker of the weapons. Idk I was debating there being more than just one#Antagonist to have pulled their strings in verita's kingdom as well as be the reason Aven's sister died. So he's more revenge seeking for t#And the genius society as civil gods just spoke to me it for so perfectly. Ling wen as Ruan mei? Yeah exactly.#ratiorine#Aventio#Dr ratio

Most important thing to keep in mind today:
Focus on the things you can control, your friends, your loved ones, the community around you. Take care of yourselves, reach out for help if you need it. Be there for each other, and take care of each other.
We get through this together. We endure together.
#text post#i know its hard#but we have to keep going#the world continues to turn#and trans joy and existence will endure as it always has

does anyone know if we have to roll that rock up the hill again tomorrow
#so to recap what we all know if we're following the Angela is Sickly series#i can't eat tree nuts. i can't eat trail mix that has come in contact with tree nuts. i am uneasy about eating anything that has been in a#facility with tree nuts because i have had allergic reactions just as severe from cross-contamination as i have had from straight up#eating walnuts. the one exception to this rule is pistachios because i have yet to have an issue with them#i don't eat pecans anymore because i had a reaction. almonds are on thin ice i don't really eat them#also. also i dislike nuts. it's not a hard rule but i don't like them at all. i am not a picky eater they just happen to be one of the#foods i dislike they're a bad texture and they taste like wood. except for the beautiful pistachio#and then we have the alpha gal allergy so. it's not Nearly as severe in terms of life-threatening anaphylaptic response but#the trade-off is a week-long world ending stomachache. which is extremely not fun and also could at any point randomly turn into#a more severe allergy so i. sort of don't fuck with it. there are exceptions that i regret every time because ouch. no red meat.#similarly. we respond not too great to dairy. can't have a lot. can't be fixed by lactaid pills or anything because it's not lactose#intolerance it's an allergy. so. no tree nuts except pistachios. no red meat. light dairy. i am twenty pounds underweight.#my doctor told me to keep red meat in my diet if i couldn't maintain my weight and uh. Bad News i can't maintain weight but also it's a#massive trigger so what the fuck do i do here. to be allergic to some of the most caloric and fatty foods out there#tried to start up boosts and i will continue doing so but im getting stomachaches from them too. like the fuck do u do#im eating eggs and avocado and olive oil and peanut butter etc and im still losing weight. i don't ever have an appetite#gets to a point where im like Well we might end up in a fucking hospital because i keep losing weight and idk why#tests aren't showing anything other than alpha gal and minor inflammation we don't have a reason for#tomorrow i will fucking have egg and avocado and olive oil and butter and a boost and an antispasmodic and water and#i will get a stomachache again and be tired again. Onward!#i would feel so much better if i could gain weight and i can't. what do. im so tired all the time <3 15.8bmi <3

theyre the same image
#destiny 2#splatoon 3#splatoon#destiny#final shape#side order#spoilers#this is a continuation of my last post#idk how many folk share like the same interest#but like splatoon n destiny arent too far off#post apocalyptic world where people are esssentially born to fight#they turn it into a sport because the meaning of death has been all but erased from them#fashion is very important#beings unwillingly get turned into zombie-like shells of their former selves based off the promise of an end to suffering#oh and we both go to space to defeat the antagonist trying to imitate god#and mechanically both games r very fun shoostie simulators#now theres ward of dawn in splat 3#inkjet could be like dawnblade#a really early post of mine compared nozzlenose to crimson#i really should stop

As a Bob Dylan fan, what are your thoughts on "A Simple Desultory Philippic" by Simon and Garfunkel? (I love it. 😂)
it's honestly one of my favourite tracks from that album because every bob dylan fan knows bob dylan is better off with a song or 2 like that one *looks at bowie's a song for bob dylan* and i can say manyyy profound things about the way i feel about it now, but i feel like what i thought about it in my most obnoxious teenage times is wayyy more interesting which is: i love this song because i too would have a song like this written about me if only my enemies were as poetic and sophisticated as s&g are so i shall imagine that my enemies are these guys my mother has an insane obsession with (and she interestingly has an insane obsession with bobby too so maybe i should ask HER about this, hers is the answer you want for this one) because that scenario could actually stylistically blend with the modern hamlet take i perceive my life as.
#i honestly think there is bob dylan and there is The Mythological American Icon Bob Dylan#and he has been there even before electric dylan controversy. it actually made electric dylan controversy HAPPEN in the first place#and this song is about that mythological bob dylan#but it's a loop anyways because that Bob Dylan (no additional remarks) is built on mythology too... so you can't really escape this#there is no real dylan. there is only being as desultory as dylan to be able to hear yourself and the world#you either hear it or you don't there is no message to decode or a leader to follow. it's like religion to me in many ways. musicianship.#i actually think bowie came the closest to understanding this concept of there being No Real Artist#and that's probably due to him being so reluctant to perform his own things and being such a... fan of things continuously and to his core#like there is the god people make out of a musician there is a god the musician thinks they're being turned into#and they god they see themselves as and then... there is the song. you know?#i am not making any sense i sound like drunk almost famous russell#i mean i did have a drink. to be fair.#HOPE I AM GETTING SOMETHING ACROSS JDKSJFKD#💌restless wind inside a letter box💌#the point is only the song is authentic. only the song is true.#and raising an eyebrow on another's song even if only as a half-joke is Authentic. to me.

there's a tower in belisaere called dolorous bastion
#g*rth n*x does things to make me specifically insane#me pulling up scherzo di notte in another tab#arghhh given the quality of his recent works I don't. want any more... but also. Wallmaker lore. blease#if I don't finish goldenhand it will continue to not be real and not hurt me#but I can try clariel again... for the world building.....#did you know bellis is part of the scientific name for a daisy#and sayre can be linked to carpenter#anyway listen. listen. lean in to Sam being a little too much like rogir for a kingdom that just returned from chaos#he's a little vain. a little reclusive. went to ancelstierre and came back... odd. deeply involved in magics no one understands#and he has no mentor. no guidance. just an unhelpful chaotic neutral cat. he's the last first & only wallmaker atm.#but he's just a moody artist ok. a total sweetheart just at turns manic and melancholic.#who is also capable of forging an executioner's blade that can imprison orannis the destroyer.#and. you know. a prince.#he should have a terrible complex about Being Like His Evil Uncle#in addition to his own shame at his perceived cowardice & failures. and his fear of Death#and his anxiety that he'll one day pour himself into the Making of something like the og wallmakers did#(and all this could. also swirl around Rogir's classique villainous queercoding. just saying.)#put a mentos in that bottle of diet coke and watch it go okay!!!#I'm sitting here shaking the narrative like If People Behaved Like People The Court Would Deeply Distrust Him#not his family obviously!!! but everyone else.#especially for facilitating a student exchange of ancelstierran soldier mages and also bringing in new citizens#who only treatied with him. not with the future queen.#and he looks and sort of behaves like his usurper murderer uncle. JUST SAYING.

i havent seen mha since i was like 13, is uraraka and blood girl yuri canon?
technically no but to me yeah it very much is but tragically
#it's complicated. so like toga is obviously in love with uraraka#and they end up over the course of the series having several complex moments that result in uraraka realizing she's just another teen girl#and she wants to save her she starts really empathizing with toga#this culminated in their part of the final war arc#wherein they're fighting and toga's upset about like. society and heroes as per#talking about how everyone just wants her dead cause of her quirk and whatnot#uraraka is telling her she wants to talk to her and that she's sorry for not understanding earlier#toga is saying it's too late and uraraka just continues telling her she wishes she knew what happened to her when she was younger#and she tells toga she has a lovely smile and then tells her she wants to give toga her blood for the rest of her life#and that she wants the two of them to talk about romance. and that she wants to touch that sadness deep inside toga#toga stabs uraraka at some point so she's bleeding pretty bad and also they're in the sky cause of uraraka's quirk#and then uraraka tells toga she's the cutest girl in the world and passes out midair#and when they hit the ground and toga can see she'll probably die she decides to drink some of uraraka's blood to turn into her#so she can give her a blood transfusion and save her life. she says smth#like “what if I had found a love that made me want to give blood sooner? I think it would've been much easier to live in this world”#and she passes out next to uraraka and says “I'm himiko toga and I lived exactly how I wanted to”#this presumably kills her. she is never found after the final battle#but you can see why I think it should count as canon and REQUITED given that uraraka verbally reciprocates#all of toga's standard ways of talking about love and romance#like. giving and taking blood IS romantic to toga. so why is uraraka offering her blood to toga🤨🤨🤨#uraraka then in the epilogue as a pro hero apparently does lots of quirk counseling work. um. crazy#alo apparently they were created and written for each other. so#blood girl yuri!!#ask#supercoolswampert#hi hanaan!

ive decided that andoras almost always has crazy makeup and wigs on simply bcus its fun for him. and everin doesnt see him without any of it on until after the birthday party debacle and loses it slightly bcus she thought that was his real hair the whole time wdym youre BALD (hes not bald his hair is just short)
#my post#the wondrous oc tag#madineau#the lore is stored in the tags#world so beautiful. i love making shit up about my ocs#did this partly bcus i wanna include more ridiculous hairstyles in this bcus i realized that i can#and this is perfect for andoras bcus he literally doenst do anything all day anyways. so he just gets up spends half the day gettnig ready#and then spends the rest of it hanging around ev and bothering her#theres a bit of bright colors and markings like aposematism. like watch out hes toxic do not approach#like ev gives a shit though#ANDDDD ive managed to incorporate MOON SYMBOLISM. bcus god what is this story if not just the moon a thousand times over for no reason#(the reason is it was like 2 am i was delirious on sharpie fumes and got really emotional about the moon out of nowhere)#so like when hes first introduced his makeup includes a new moon. new beginnings and all that#during the birthday party hes got a 1st quarter moon. for intention. bcus thats when ev and an get a little normal about each other#and an specifically realizes oh hey. i actually liek this person. and i think she likes me too. i dont want this to ever stop.#smilesss he realizes this while theyre dancing. and ev is laughing and relaxed and SMILING for once and an wishes he could watch that smile#forever...#dreamy sigh. ive had that scene living in my head for years now#i think i came up with that after reading knifetrick. bcus i loved the party scene soooooo much <33#where was i. right moon makeup.#so in the very very very end andoras has a full moon#sealing of intention slash continuing the cycle. because its implied hes gonna overthrow the government and kill the current leaders#thats a big jump from where we just were. bear with me here a lot happens in this story#like the birthday party and that tender moment. is interrupted by the rev squad showing up and trying to convince a crowd of people to#murder ev#which more or less works pretty easily btw. they all just go 'ok bet' as if they werent attending HER party.#its fine its whatever its ok. ev doesnt think theres anyone she can truly trust but she does so anyways and just prays they dont turn on he#bcus the only people she has left in the world are her 2 advisors who hate her and her best friend who also maybe hates her

What would be your ideal endgame for Hyle Hunt?
listen….. I’m a hyle enthusiast fire and foremost but I think he’s gonna die LOL. i mean his sigil is a hanged stag and where is he now … getting hanged … life imitates art etc. but on the off chance that he ends up surviving like a cockroach I think he’s just gonna be some guy that fought in the big war and survived. maybe he’ll land himself a nice job under a lord so he becomes a guard or somethn instead of a hedge knight. I like the idea that jaime employs him though just to fuck with him but that’s kinda sus 👀🤭 bc why are you as someone who hates him giving him a job so he stays with you? trying to find a way to keep him close? are you guys gonna explore each other’s bodies next??
#but I do think hyle’s presence in bri’s story is the choice for her to refuse the quest and return to the normal world (ala hero’s journey)#like he literally asks her to marry him and go back being a highborn lady in the crossroads when she was literally#at odds on where to go next. like it’s not exactly subtle#but brienne turns down that path and chooses to continue on her quest instead so it’s like he’s done ig …#but I’d love for him to survive for the jb romcom shenanigans and you know what I think he has it in him go king!

[BG3 spoilers below]
I was really hoping the Shar stuff in this game would have more nuance to it with one of your companions being a Shar worshipper. But so far it feels like the same old “darkness = evil, light = good” with a nice smattering of “Satanists Sharrans are coming to kidnap your children and groom them into their evil cult!!”
I acknowledge that most of this is rooted in D&D itself and that the writers of BG3 were probably limited in what they could do with these licensed characters and world. But it still sucks and is so boring. Feels like a high fantasy version of a every old Satanic Panic horror movie out there
#no further spoilers please I’m not done with the game yet#but like#the whole entire game I was going Please don’t let this be SH’s backstory. please something other than that.#and let out the world’s longest groan when it of course turned out to be that#after the Thaniel thing i thought the most interesting backstory for SH would have been that she was a shadow half of someone else#so Shar *literally* would have been her mother like SH calls her. and if you care about SH you’d have to accept that she was born from-#-the shadow curse youre trying to eliminate. and I thought maybe the Sharrans found her & recognized that she was born from their goddess.#so they rescued and cared for her because she was sort of holy in a way.#what we got by comparison is so boring to me 😩#Yugioh continues to be the only franchise I’m into that has a novel take on this stuff with The Gentle Darkness & The Light of Destruction

reblogged a post with this line (from marie howe's "the teacher") in february 2023 and said it was probably the question of the year...interesting to think back on now after feeling like some things have really settled into the best possible place w the 23 year old in the last week. i've been going back and forth on some things all year - what does it feel like to be in love vs not, does it matter, what are my motivations for doing x y or z, how do i feel about this or that, what does it mean to be happy and am i capable of actually feeling it, what does it mean to meet someone and have so many pieces of your life begin to revolve around them so quickly, and is that codependence or some kind of substitute for something, etc etc etc. basically just analyzed things to death and back over and over again every week of every month for nearly a year. weird bad times in a lot of ways, and i do feel kind of insane for it, but i finally concluded the other day that the semantics of all of it don't matter that much to me, and that some relationships and circumstances have multiple ways of being fulfilling, and the important thing is to pick a way and stop waffling and worrying about the others...
anyway i think this is probably the question of 2024 too, because i still haven't really answered it, but it feels much less fraught than it did a year ago. the feelings are separate from the actions, and the actions feel righter than ever.
#had a couple intense talks sunday that absolutely wouldn't have been possible a year ago and it was good but also my reaction monday was#that we need to go like. play air hockey and not almost cry in front of each other for like a month or two.#but it did actually like...idk. turns out some things actually fundamentally changed#the tone of this probably doesn't come across but i do feel really joyful reflecting on everything right now#a shift away from continually reblogging that lispector line about how painful love feels like happiness or whatever.#it's just good. we're important to each other and having that affirmed and finally getting that it's a level unlopsided importance has been#really...like the world shifted a little. i didn't really get it before#a tag

Other interpretations that confuse me - Raglan saying to Daniel that other people have tried what he's doing but are now dead or turned. To me, that clearly meant other journalists have tried to investigate or interview vampires in general over the years but didn't survive the process.
I4's worldbuilding - an explanation about why vampires have never been discovered, why nobody's ever manage to publish even an exposé that was dismissed as fiction before Daniel. It's isn't that nobody's ever caught on to the existence of vampires, it's that humans who get too close to them end up dead or undead.
I do not think they meant to say Louis and Armand specifically have done multiple interviews with other journalists, who they ended up killing or turning.
#again context clues - daniel has been wondering how vampires have remained a secret#which reflects the natural skepticism audiences have when viewing any media involving a secret paranormal underworld#the show had to address it at some point to keep the suspension of disbelief alive#it gives us the scene between daniel and armand where the camera continually cuts to the voice recorder#and armand's smile after daniel calls him out on just telling a story and not answering how vampires hide from tech#(armand did answer - there's a point where the recorder simply does not pick up armand voice)#and they gave us raglan saying humans who try to reveal the secret to the world tend to die#but there is zero indication outside of this single comment that louis ever reached out to another journalist#much less that he turned some of them#amc iwtv
