Right but as I am writing the Wall E AU I keep finding plotholes in both the film and in my interpretation and god its driving me up the bend
Like- yk how all of earths population is living in space at that point? Thats alot of bloody ships and now I've gotta come up with an explanation for it because they dont properly explain it in the film but then I was doing some research on it and then I found out that in film canon there was a climate disaster which wiped out over half of the worlds population and thats why theres not as many ships,
BUT I CANT BLOODY WRITE THAT PLOTPOINT BECAUSE THE WALL E'S IN MY FIC ARE HUMAN SO THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN WIPED OUT TOO IF THERE WAS A CLIMATE DISASTER
godddd why've I decided to make this fic more complicated than it needs to be its literally Silly Red dwarf guys but Silly Wall E robots, I dont know why ive done this to myself wtf
Anyway I'm probably gonna try and ignore that plothole and let it sit in a corner while I continue to write lolll
#jesus christ it makes me want to rip out my hair#and I've added all these silly little plotpoints which weren't in the original film as well so its all complicated now#and every chapter i write I go - holdon does this even work#and then have to come up with a workaround#like how i had to come up with Lister getting into the ship because I couldn't just have him hanging onto the outside of it like in the fil#cause he'd die#theres so much in the film that works because they are robots#like the fucjing 'Define Dancing' scene#the most iconic one in the whole goddamn film#which I have to come up with a workaround for cause I still wanna write that scene cause I love it so much#but I cant just do it like in the film cause Wall E gets sent into space in the escape pod which he blows up (idiot <3)#and I cant just blow up Lister and then have him zoom around in space without a space suit#dude would die#Why did I do this to myself#Tip guys#dont ever write an AU with human characters based off a film with robot characters#because its a bloody nightmare#THERES A REASON THAT THEY ARE ROBOTS APPARENTLY#so they can do all this funky flying around in space stuff without worrying about goddamn dying#screaming crying throwing up#why did I have to get comitted and obsessed with THIS idea specifically omgggggg#red dwarf wall e au#red dwarf#rimster#my posts

i have this fic series i'm still working on where mihawk sort of becomes rayleigh's kid and spends ages 11-17ish on the oro jackson.
shanks and buggy imprint on him (bugs considers him a sort of older brother figure/sparring inspiration and shanks has a crush that eventually turns into full-blown love) and this is how i imagine they're like on the day mihawk sets off on his own haha.
#fic recs#dracule mihawk#akataka#mishanks#buggy#buggy the clown#shanks#akagami no shanks#red haired shanks#one piece#one piece fanart#op fanart#clearly my workaround to 'i should be working on my deadlines instead of doodling mishanks' is to finger-draw on my phone instead#on the plus side i'll never be tempted to go and fully render what was supposed to be a sketch#on the minus side i'm wondering if drawing with my finger takes up the same amount of time anyways.........#smh#anyways in this au i have this part planned where after shankd and buggy get into a fight over the chop chop#shanks comes crying to mihawk all devastated and annoyed and mihawk who is 16 and absolutely doesnt want to deal with a crying 12 year old#decides to fix things himself by showing buggy the pros of his devil fruit via forceful and incredibly harrowing sparring session LOL.#makes him see right away how much of a boon it is to never be able to get cut by a blade. it turns into an actually fun sesh#'cuz mihawk starts enjoying the challenge and the creativity and control and buggy starts wielding his knives in flying hands.#ends with mihawk berating him on how he treats his brother and how mihawk never wants to have to deal with shanks like that again#and also lowkey encouraging buggy by saying he's a resourceful kid and he's got people if he cant do things himself.#at this point in time shanks kind of wants mihawk to be his knight in shining armour so he's happy to hear what mihawk did#but mihawk is Fully Over bunking with two 12 year olds. ray please can he just set out on his own now. he's done it before. come on.#he is not a babysitter!!!!!!#tho these fics will focus mostly on hawk & ray jsyk#i digress

things aren’t going well with peach. while i think my dad’s very right to be concerned that she hasn’t eaten anything in nearly 60 hours (obviously i am too), im becoming increasingly concerned that she hasn’t slept at all in around 36 hours and prior to that she was under anaesthetic, which isn’t exactly restful, so it’s closer to 48 hrs
like dad took her back to the vet today and we’ve got injections for her painkillers now because she’s not eating, and also injections for fluids (because she doesn’t drink; she only gets water from her food), so the not eating is Bad but also kinda under management, but if she doesn’t sleep soon i’m extremely worried. dad was like ‘if she doesn’t eat by tomorrow afternoon we’ll take her back because the injections will run out’ but like. if she doesn’t sleep tonight we have GOT to take her back first thing in the morning so they can sedate her or something
#her pain doesn’t seem to be too bad now that she’s got pain relief so idk what’s stopping her from sleeping#she won’t even lie down unless i’m sitting next to her. she just sits there staring out the window#her pupils are also taking up her entire eyes and have been all day#that’ll be a side effect of the medication and maybe the lack of sleep? but it won’t be making her feel any better#she can probably barely see at this point#like imagine you’ve been awake for 2 days after surgery and you’re in a lot of pain and haven’t eaten since before surgery#and are also on strong painkillers. and you also have no idea what’s wrong with you or why everyone’s doing things that hurt you#bruh your brain would be COOKED. there’s no way she has any idea what’s going on rn but she’s clearly feeling terrible#personal#like i think she’ll be ok in the long-term but she’s gotta somehow get through all these immediate issues#last time something like this happened she stopped drinking and never started again#not eating or sleeping don’t have workarounds as simple as putting water in her food#it really doesn’t help that there’s so much other shit going on rn#i’m doing a whole bunch of stuff with my phone and computer that’s taking a lot of work#but also my sister’s going on a long overseas trip that she’s leaving for tomorrow#so the combo of dad and sister coming and going constantly and also like 6 random deliveries for tech stuff in the last 2 days—#has the dogs really wound up. so georgie’s been howling at absolutely everything#and it’s rainy so my clothes aren’t trying and they’re hanging on a rack hooked on the hallway door so the door can’t close#which puts one less door between my room and the dogs so they’re waking me up every time anything happens#and i sleep during the day so that’s ALL THE TIME. i’ve had like 8 hrs of sleep between the last two afternoons#my sister always has so much random life stuff she wants to talk about and was getting really annoyed that i wasn’t very receptive#like ‘im about to go away for 3 months’ sorry i know its a big thing but i can’t just reschedule peach’s medical emergency

#i hate when things that should be simple end up not being simple so i get extremely disproportionately upset#its stupid bc it makes me feel like i lost against an inanimate object#googles 'how to not have a total meltdown at my desk bc i couldnt assemble something extremely simple'#to my credit its not bc i couldn't figure it out. its bc its refusing to function the way that it should#and normally i am very very very good at coming up with workarounds so it feels like salt in the wound

Next step on the journey of self-indulgent ghoul-Durge headcanons which I'm bizarrely invested in is: 'Replace Doresain as God-King of the Ghouls.'
Vel's sort of an elf, and half-murder god so that's a step closer than working from scratch. It'd be simple enough to start a cult following and get deliberately muddled up with Doresain as an identity and use that as a jumping point from which to steal his portfolio/domain...
#They even both favour the scimitar as a weapon#There's a whole new timeline opening up in my collection of timelines. This one might be canon to me#Being used to ghoul-type nonsense Durge would be able to adapt faster in theory getting past the overly feral stage#So I don't think it'd be a dealbreaker for his relationship with Astarion. Vanity and physical issues also come with workarounds.#Ghouls have very long dextrous tongues so that will pay off in some ways that make up for a lot#Take a cue from Gortash's wardrobe: gold claws#Gold claws and roast dwarf instead of raw - he will be the most cultured ghoul around#Mostly because vampires are squeamish babies and relationships come with sacrifices#babbling#/durge#edgelord hours#OCs#Vel

Nothing pisses me off more than when people talk about my friendships with mid-support needs autistics and other people with differently-wired brains as if I am descending to help them because I’ve taken them on as a charity case. That is NOT true. Oh they’re a burden because they’re neurodivergent? WELL GUESS FUCKING WHAT: SO AM I! THE REASON I HAVE SO MANY FRIENDS WITH SO MUCH SHIT WRONG WITH THEM IS BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF SHIT WRONG WITH ME. WE ATTRACT EACH OTHER! WE LIKE EACH OTHER! IT’S NOT THAT FUCKING HARD TO UNDERSTAND!
#How about I just start strangling ableists from now on?#Would THAT convince them I’m actually this person’s real friend?#Literally nothing I say to them is able to get through their dense fucking skulls—#as if it’s sooooo hard for them to believe I actually enjoy their company#Also (halfway unrelated): if I hear “It takes a special person to work with special children” one more time I am going to SCREAM#Tell me I’m calm; tell me I’m patient; tell me I’m creative— do NOT tell me I’m “special” for doing a job I LOVE#Can you imagine telling a quantum physics major “It takes a special person to solve special math problems?”#😂💀 WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. I’m gonna start saying that to people from other professions. To see how they like it.#The children are not a burden to me; the children are very enjoyable to be around#and I enjoy troubleshooting what is preventing them from learning and coming up with workarounds for them#I made a glued roll of paper for a kid who constantly peels their skin because I saw them peeling crayons#It works!#I made math problems into a Skibidi Toilet role playing game for another kid who hides under tables when it’s time to work. It works!#You know why I was able to come up with either of these inventions? Huh? You wanna fucking know?#1.) I peel my lips and mouth and palms of my hands and calluses and cuticles and scabs; and#2.) I have awful executive dysfunction and have to do weird stuff to engage myself#People talk to me like I’m one of the “normal” ones; little do they know I’m getting assessed for ADHD and score 142 on the RAADS-R#and I essentially self-destruct when I get mad so I don’t break valuable items or punch through drywall and oak doors#I give myself bruises that swell a half inch high and form hematomas under the skin#I think I’ve permanently weakened the blood vessels and a vein in my right thigh from beating it so much#because it only takes one well-placed blow on my right; but several blows to my left#And I can see the bruise pooling towards my heart along the path of that vein from day to day after the initial beating#and sometimes it just randomly aches when it’s not injured; so I have to shift my weight when the kids sit in my lap wrong#so with that and something else I did to it not super recently that I should have gone to urgent care for… I probably have nerve damage lol#so it’s gross when people say such things about other NDs to me as if I am above them#Just fuck off already

Laois's party would see post-Shibuya Incident Tokyo as another dungeon. Tokyo Jujutsu Tech students would see the island's dungeon as a vacation.
#if i wrote fic i would its all fleshed out but heres some notes#both groups would solve each other's problems. for itadori it'd take a week. for laios it would take countless lives.#tonal whiplash so intense you'd get physical pain#marcille et al having to cope with the fact that they are also creating the horrors every waking moment#laios & senshi just think thats perfect for a self-sustaining ecosystem until one of them either gags on a curse or wakes up not quite aliv#itadori would refuse to eat a single monster unless it was absolutely fucking necessary no other options no workarounds etc#jjk cast would have a funky good time BUT not know how to process - positive or negative - the soul lingering in the body after death#pseudo death if you will.#thats breakdown time eventually but also ''oh i can finally kill you for real'' friendly teasing. and unprecedented sparring ofc#dungeon meshi party would figure out more of how curses work exactly than even tsukumo yuki but not before so many people died#jjk crew come out of it all as tragic though bc like#they just saw a world where NO ONES negative emotions spawn curses but they werent there long enough to figure it out#bi rambles#also fushiguro was MADE to be discontent in the frog suit.#edit i cant believe i forgot: falin and rika would be BESTIES

i am standing at the kitchen counter deseeding a pomegranate (my favorite fruit) and I am carefully going through every seed (because I forgot about it) (because it's started to turn) and they are dull red instead of vibrant and taut (it's started to turn). I discard almost half the pomegranate (my favorite fruit) seeds because they're mushy (I forgot about it). and I remember how every day I saw the pomegranate on the counter (I remember things when I see them) and thought that I should deseed it (because it would start to turn) and then I'd turn away and I'd forget (because I couldn't see it) (because I didn't want to remember that I was forgetting). and now all these seeds (mushy, dull red) are being discarded because I forgot (even though it's my favorite fruit). and I can remember (because I'm seeing it) (because I'm holding it) (because the juice is on my hands) that I forgot it day after day. and I wonder if my distress, the frustration will be enough (so I won't forget it next time). and I know it won't be (because I'm going to turn away when I'm done) (because I won't see it anymore) and that I am going to forget, again, to deseed the pomegranates (my favorite fruit). I will be here again (again). i discard another seed. i am standing at the kitchen counter deseeding a pomegranate
#shitpost#quil's unholy underworld#no one fucking talk to me I am SO upset#<- you can talk to me I am exaggerating#i don't know what this is#poetry?#but sometimes I /hate/ my shitty object permanence#i LOVE pomegranate. SO much#and yet I let it rot on the counter for what. a week? two?#i can't even remember#and all those seeds I had to discard would've been perfectly fine if I could just! remember! the pomegranates! on the counter!#and no one else in the house touches the pomegranates because they're mine. mom buys them specifically because I love them#so no one touches them#and I repay that by letting it rot#i know i'm not doing it intentionally#but it still. hurts#and I know it's not gonna change! i'm still gonna forget!#i can come up with systems. I can find workarounds#but at the end of the day i have to come up with systems because I am someone fighting not to let my favorite fruit#bought just for me. rot away on the counter#screams screams screams screams screams screams#anyway. deseeded the pomegranates this evening#what's up with y'all?

blasting into a discord with my 750,000 simulated dice rolls and stem background to argue about the rules of a game with the designer
#to clarify i am not doing this to be an asshole i am doing it because i had neat dice facts and strong opinions#there's a specific rule about how rolls are resolved if you don't have *anything* in your dice pool#but unfortunately in tough situations (where you'd be cutting the highest 1 or 2 results)#the roll resolution with nothing gives you better odds than mid-tier dice pools. statistically disincentivizing using your skills.#to be fair one can come up with potential narrative and mechanical workarounds as a dm#and it does require your players to either be desperate (not putting together an alternate route) or to have also run the numbers#(and to be willing to use a mechanical loophole)#but as i had neat stats information (hooray!) and one of my favorite activities is rules-lawyering i had to say *something*#anyway! dice-rolling stats are *weird* and vary *wildly* depending on how your system uses them#and a fun and easy thing you can do before playing any new ttrpg is get yourself some dice stats information#familiarize yourself with your odds of success

sdpeaking of icons i kind of want to change mine but i have nothing in mind. so joshua shall stay
#txt#samewith my url tbh#but when my current primary hyperfixation is. My Own Zero Escape Fangame. well i'm coming up a little dry on ideas#i do technically have the url for the name of the game in question (nine halls) but.#i only claimed it cause i was gonna use it to host some stuff and then tumblr didn't letme fucking use javascript without asking staff#and while i do know of css workarounds now? i don't care. neocities lets me just use the fucking javascript#idk what i'm gonna do with it but it will probably not be my url#i'll just keep this one til the next thing i get certifiably insane about comes along and i manage to get a decent url for it

I think I understand why tumblr made this change. It seems annoying and arbitrary from the front, but from the back (when creating a custom theme), oh my god...
In the old way, there would need to be custom code for every possible post configuration. That includes separate custom code in completely different locations to handle:
a photo post with only one image
a photo post with multiple images
a text post that contains an image
a text post that contains multiple images
an ask post that contains an image inside the question
an ask post that contains an image inside the answer
an ask post with a down-thread reply which contains an image
a video post that also has an image in the original post
a video post that has a down-thread reply which contains an image
and don't forget chat posts and quote posts and link posts and audio posts and oh my god this list can go on and on and on!
There are even different variations that seem to come from when tumblr silently changed something on their side, so a particular photo post from, say, 2011 is for some reason set up differently from different particular photo post from 2012, and there is no indication in the code that this post is using the 2011 arrangement and this other post is using the 2012 arrangement (they are not neatly divided by year or anything obvious like that).
And there are some posts that just seem to be flat-out broken. Something in the code got scrambled. Maybe someone posted it during the precise time when tumblr was having a horrible bug, and now the post circulates with wacked-out code forever.
So, to make a custom theme that simply wants to have every image everywhere be styled in a uniform way, we needed to come up with a load of funky workarounds to identify and differently handle all of these these needlessly different variations and all these funky corner cases. Just, tons and tons and tons of complication behind the scenes.
Instead, the posts that use the so-called "neue" post format are clearly announced within the code, and how any image(s) should be formatted within any sort of post (or rather, how images should be formatted inside a text post because they are now all secretly text posts) can be coded all in one place rather than copy-and-pasted around and needing to be maintained in like 39 different places. When we were updating the Egret theme, it was so refreshing to be able to have the code for the "neue" part be all together like that in one place.
We kept all the old code for all the funky combinations of old post types, so that even if we reblog some really old and uniquely-messed-up posts, the images should still look great in the Egret theme. But I assume that tumblr's goal is that, as time goes on, posts that use those weird funky old post formats will become relatively rarer and rarer, and then someone can make a really great tumblr theme by just handling the neue post format first and foremost, without needing to wrap their head around these 39 variations before they can even get started.
And I bet in the future Tumblr will eventually nix all those buttons that mean the same thing, but for now they are keeping it for our comfort or something.
I also imagine that in the even further future when Tumblr rolls out more changes and makes what I imagine will be called the "neueneue" Nintendo DS post format (please don't), they now have the system already in place to call out that this is the "neueneue" post format, and the themes can more easily be updated to handle both "neueneue" and "neue".
So, actually, I think this change makes it more likely for someone to make a custom tumblr theme that can make images really shine.
i'm sorry for talking about this yet again but i literally never see ANYONE mention the fact that photoposts are fucking gone when they're complaining about tumblr updates.
(in case you didn't know-- you literally cannot make photo type posts anymore, which is really frustrating for anyone who posts photo/gifsets in a custom theme)
#programming#tumblr#tumblr themes#D:#but if you are having a problem with it that I haven't considered#do share#maybe we can come up with a funky workaround for that too...

Man, I know writing a first draft is important to figure out what details you need, and you're supposed to have a shitty first draft
But sometimes, I just can't help but wonder, what's the point of writing all this if I'm going to chuck most of it out in later drafts anyway?
Which is kind of illogical, considering that later drafts cannot exist without a first draft, but the machine that is my mind occasionally jams on this one point about 'energy wastage' and that sucks
#anybody have any ideas for a workaround?#i cant quite come up with a satsifactory answer for my own dilemma#any suggestions would be greatly appreciated#writing#shitty first draft
