genuinely worries me that some of you think the biggest threat to feminism in 2024 is trans men having words to talk about their lived experience
#smells like a scapegoat#trans#transphobia#feminism#if you cannot see that cis men have privilege over cis women#but trans men do not access the same privilege EVEN IF THEY ARE STEALTH (which is a conditional privilege discounting medical discriminatio#that would vanish as soon as anyone KnewTM)#and that the vast majority of trans men are NOT stealth and many are non-passing#and are thus subjected to DOUBLE persecution#by cis men for not being 'man' enough AND women - cis and trans! - for not being 'woman' enough#or worse yet being 'failed' women/wlw or 'traitors'#just as much as trans women are discrimated against by cis and trans men and cis women alike#and nonbinary people are discriminated against on all sides and by binary trans people#and you think that transmasc people TALKING about these experiences is a genuine threat to feminism#rather than an important aspect of it that has been overlooked for too long#I think you need to sort out your priorities and address your internal transandrophobia.#morning thoughts#anyway any attempt to divide the community is in fact an attempt to conquer

i’m aware i’m 100% alone in this, but i genuinely adore ascended astarion (especially when romanced) because of how—frankly—horrific it is. it’s simultaneously so cathartic in its brutality but so unsatisfying personally while managing to be narratively satisfying (just as his other outcome is, of course).
#ophelia.txt#bg3 spoilers#the way he still has the shell of his old feelings for tav mirrored in his possessiveness of them. that alone does suggest that he’d#probably not subject them to the same overt cruelty that he suffered which makes it all far more dangerous and insidious. because what#humanity—in as much as it can be called thus—remained to him is gone. what made him HIM is gone and all that remains is an incredibly#powerful being who (if you got his scene after moonrise) hates them for letting him go through with it. he has no love left in him now.#only want and resentment and possessiveness. if he loves tav it’s the possessive and selfish love a child has for a toy. but he doesn’t#even respect them. he’s too paranoid now. too drunk on the power he has from his failure to break the cycle (which he. again. resents tav#for allowing). he said right out the gates that true vampires are never created. there’s only ever a sire and a spawn. and he views tav#letting him bite them as them degrading themselves. placing themselves as lesser than him and it’s the new baseline for how he’s going to#treat them because the man they loved is effectively gone. it makes me feel so unwell. i love ascended astarion like okay king of not#breaking the cycle 🙌🙌🙌

i absolutely cannot let myself get started on another fic until im at least onto chapter 5 of caecilian but the temptation to write something of aaravi taking miranda monster hunting and describing the entire EVERYTHING there is real
#all the care guide says is 'biomass'#miravi.txt#mostly in the duality that is#what aaravi actually does as a monster slayer and the context that it exists within both in her own life and within the world#and with the fact that miranda doesnt actually sincerely identify as a monster nor care about that divide#to her this is landfolk on landfolk problems that merfolk have absolutely no involvement in#she only gets labelled a monster by landfolk who care about this and using criteria that wasnt made with merfolk in mind#and goes with it because really shes trying to do her job and serve an ambassador role and Whatever#its the same as her picking a gender basically at random. there wasnt a none of the above option that was offered nor applied#to her aaravi is basically a mercenary and thus her feelings are the same as a mercenary#shes not meaningfully different than anyone miranda already knows through bellanda#and aaravi has. complicated feelings about it.#aaravi has complicated feelings about all of this#miranda occupies a role like aaravi herself where she fails to fit into either side of a duality#but aaravi also has a rising guilt about her involvement that she has to explain to miranda in the first place#and all of this parallels miranda's role as princess too#about how little aaravi knows about her atrocities and what shes done and what it MEANS for her to be what she is#as someone who was never subjected to it and has no context for how bad it really is#theyre very much two sides of the same coin tbh#very alike each other but in opposite contexts#which tbh is part of why they work so well#its the combination of understanding and support and yet just enough challenge to stop them from buckling down harder#theyre able to call each other out because they know personally exactly whats happening in the others mind#which is also why i dont like ships that just wholeheartedly encourage aaravis whole everything without understanding whats going on#the same as why i hate ships and endings that have the other person just joining miranda as royalty#like. no. no these are not neutral endings here. you do not get to absolve anyones involvement here.

just finished reading the witness for the dead for the first time (i think it permanently altered my brain chemistry) and celehar's dreadful mustard-yellow coat is killing me. it's given as a kindness. he doesn't want it but he needs it. the colour is terrible on him. it fits him perfectly. it doesn't suit his position at all. he takes it off at the first opportunity and leaves it at home. he wishes for it again when he's going through his ordeal. the colour is too stubborn to dye over. it's a fine coat, but it's of no use to him. he takes it to a secondhand store and it sells the first day.
#twftd#the witness for the dead#cemeteries of amalo#the yellow coat and the honey in the tea and pel-thenhior's honey-coloured eyes. listen to me. are you listening#not to mention his favourite black coat that got ruined by the ghoul#and his black coat of office which is too valuable to wear to the ordeal and thus cannot keep him warm#and the golden tea he drinks with pel-thenhior that's less harsh than the black tea he usually drinks#and the thing about how expects to burn out ''like a candle wick drowning in a pool of wax'' within about 5 years#celehar is so sad and so kind and so bad at accepting kindness and so covered in mud#also. god. the fucking ordeal#yeah we can't really justify poisoning you so instead we're gonna subject you to The Horrors. yeah tonight. it's for political reasons srry

Thus and Thusly
We all know thus is an adverb. It's from the Old English þus, meaning "in this way, as follows, in this manner, to this extent."
You might see a parent hit a child and say "I wouldn't treat a dog thus," meaning you wouldn't treat a dog in the way you just saw that parent treat their child.
Or you might say "I like to describe my sense of humor thus" and follow it with the manner of description you prefer.
You might even say "I am poor; thus I have no medical care," meaning that your lack of medical care follows from (i.e., is a direct result of) your poverty.
"Thus far," we might say, meaning to this extent or point, "things make sense."
Then we encounter thusly.
—
Thusly is a monstrosity. An abomination of idiocy. The -ly ending is clearly meant to turn the word thus into an adjective—but thus is already an adjective!
Here lives stupidity.
My favorite part of the 2018 research article on thus vs thusly that I ran across online was the section where a respondent older than 75 essentially called thusly a stupid word that you use if you want to sound stupid or make fun of stupid people... while a respondent younger than 25 called it an overly formal old word.
Hold onto your hats, everybody. In fifty or so years, the youngsters will be claiming that blorbo is too formal a term to use when describing a fictional character you particularly enjoy.
And they'll probably think it specifically refers to fictional characters with blue or black hair, or something silly like that.
#English language#thus#thusly#ah#the unending change in living languages!#I hate it.#Isaiah rambles#strangely enough#while you can use 'thus' as a synonym for 'therefore' in many cases#trying to do that with 'thusly' really will make you look like an idiot#'thusly' only ever means 'in this way'#if you have to use it#at least use it right#don't subject your reader to something awful like#''They were too tough. Thusly the general prepared for the worst even as her forces formed up...''#in what way did she prepare for the worst? In the ''they were too tough'' way?#I will stab you with an ink-filled quill pen like Guinan testing Q's claimed mortality.

Canon can be bent, they can be from completely different media, but I want their characterization to be plausibly them.
Hey, I wanna talk about how we do fandom! I've come to realize that I, personally, tend to differ from many others in that I highly prefer to only engage with a text as it's written, so I don't tend to really like fanon/extremely ooc characterizations and I find it hard to get invested in ships that aren't canon. My way of doing fandom isn't better or worse than anyone else's, but I am curious about how much of a minority I'm in! So:
*We've all seen ships of characters not from the same media and stuff like shipping the concept of ennui with the color blue, okay, I'm asking what you, personally, find compelling!
#and I know that's subjective!#but if I can't see it I'm noping out and that goes for genfic too depending on how central the character is to the fic#fandom#I think I ship everything#got real miffed at a Batfam Danny Phantom crossover that shipped TimDanny#because Tim killed some villains to rescue Danny#up until then it had been really interesting and then they just...toss Tim's canon characterization out the window#and I CAN read fic where Tim kills but you need to CONVINCE ME of how he got to that point#so like...being different media origins? fine#bending the canon settings or plot arcs to facilitate this? fine#bending CHARACTERIZATION past what I can find plausible? nope bye#most of the time shipping for me is VERY MUCH about the characters so that's the key#SOMETIMES it's about ''how would a relationship between these two affect the plot?'' but that's still like...#''how would a major life change affect this character and thus what they and people around them do''#polls

Bugtober Day 21: CD-i
Oh, I have been looking FORWARD to this day. Unfortunately I wasn't able to work on it as much as I'd like to over the past couple days, but I've been working on it since, like, the sixth. I really hope that you guys like it, even if it's weird on account of basically being a transcript of a YouTube Poop I came up with.
Long story short, I imagined a Zelda CD-i YTP but with Bug Fables characters representing the Zelda characters. Characters will refer to each other with the Zelda names in dialogue but the narration and whatnot will refer to them with BF names. (So, for example, something like:
"Bianca: Zelda, where are you?"
"Vi: Here.")
Hope that's not too confusing, ha. If you read I hope you enjoy it, either way have a great time!
In the Kingdom of Bugaria (and by Bugaria I mean Hyrule), Link (and by Link I mean Kabbu) was sleeping in his comfy little bed, wearing his Octorok-patterned nightcap and cuddling with his Dodongo plushy. Morning had arrived, however, and so Kabbu's alarm went off.
Kabbu's Alarm: (As painfully loud as you can comprehend) ualuealuealeuale ualuelaelaellalea, alsualsualualauusualulus ,,,alsualsualualauusualulus Chacarron, Chacarron,-
Kabbu (Link): (Sits up) aaaAaAAAAAAaaAAAAAaAAAAaaAAaAAaAAAaAAAAAAAaaAaaaaAAAAaAAAaaAAaa Good morning, Sun!
The Sun: GO FFFFFUCK YOURSELF!!!
Kabbu: Wah!
(Crashes into Vi (Zelda) )
Kabbu: Hi Zelda! (Runs off)
Zelda:...Hey.
Kabbu: Hey, The King!
Queen Bianca (King Harkinian): Not now, Link! I'm interrogating Duke Onkled on the whereabouts of my chalupa.
Hector (Duke Onkled): But I told you, I was gaming for fourteen days straight!
Zelda: Are you alright?
In Hector's Mind: (♩ We got a number one victory royale, yeah, Fortnite, we 'bout to get down-♩ )
Hector: no
Bianca: Enough! I can't rule without something to eat first, so Duke Onkled..
Bianca: (Mutates horrifically and looms over Duke Onkled) Where...is...my... D̶̲̘͖͓̥̼̺͚͍͚̫͖͛͆̓͂́͜͜͠͠I̵̧̧͖̪͔̯͔͑̅̋̒̄͛N̴̛̛̜̻̝̩̝̰͙̬̓̀̑̓͋͑́̍̓̚̕̕͝N̸̲̈E̸̛̘̮̘͖̙̻̺̥͎̮̻̎͋̌̏͛̓̒̔͐͆̐͛̚͝R̷̛͇͎̞̞͕��̹͚̤̰̀̆̐̀̿͊̎̋̔̀̐̐̕?̵̧̟̺̠̟̙̬̤͉̦͓̞̓̄̊̌̉̍͊̾͜?̸̗̱̪͕̻̣̦̙̫̣̖̹̭̓͆͝ͅ?̸̖̫̫͇̩͆͛͝
Hector: HAVE MERCY!!!
Suddenly Leif (Gwonam) flies in through a nearby window, getting covered in sharp glass.
Leif: Your-ow-majesty, Ganon and his minions have seized the food of Koridai.
Bianca twists her head to face behind her unnaturally.
Bianca:...What about Hyrule?
Leif: That too.
Bianca: Hmmm. (Twists the rest of her body to match her head) Link-
Leif: Also it's breakfast time.
Bianca:...Link, go to Koridai and take the dinner back from Ganon.
Kabbu: Oh BOY! (Jumps out a window.)
Link: (Flapping his arms like wings to fly) Woooooooooowwwwwwwww...
Bianca: Oh, alright.
Vi: (Sighs) Gwonam, can we go to Koridai to make sure Link doesn't-
Leif: Die, yes.
Leif and Vi jump onto Leif's magic carpet, which very quickly flies into a huge series of shuttle loops.
Leif: Squadaladaladaladaladaladaladaladaladaladaladaladaladaladalada-(zips off)-LAAAAAAAH!!
Leif: Hang on, Zelda!
Vi: (Vomits like Peter Griffin).
Meanwhile, Kabbu lands right in front of the shop of Morshu (Fry).
Kabbu: Before I kick Ganon's balls, I need some ♩ W-E-A-P-O-N-R-Y, WEAPONRY!!! (Crashes through Fry(Morshu)'s door to the music) ♩
Fry: FOCK! (Shuts his laptop closed) Link, don't pull that crap!
Kabbu: Hi, Morshu! What can I get for...
Link looks in his pocket and finds nothing but his Smart Sword (It won't hurt anyone friendly! In fact, it makes them talk!) and a fake wand made of plastic.
Kabbu: (Pulls out the plastic stick) This magic wand?
Fry:...(Puts down a balloon shaped like his head) Bolloon.
Kabbu: Oh boy! Anything else?
Fry: Fuck off.
Kabbu: :(
Fry: Mmm...sorry, Link. Have this. (Hands him a toy Nerf gun)
Kabbu: Wowww!...Got an uzi?
Fry: (In a voice that's clearly not his) It's Nerf, or nothing!
Link: Okay! (Grabs the stuff Morshu gave him) Lah lah lah lah lah! (Breaks out the wall)
Morshu: Ah...(Opens back up his laptop) Mmm...I can use lamp oil as l-
Five minutes later, back at the castle.
Bianca:...Dammit, I'm hungry and bored.
Hector: Wanna watch me game?
Bianca: Dude, no.
Bianca pulls out a phone and calls up her old ally Queen Elizant II (Lord Kiro), who on her phone is listed as "That guy". You know. That guy. Lord Kiro. The "Here's the traitor you're majesty!" guy. Anywho, she's in the gym lifting weights like a friggin' badass whilst listening to music on headphones.
Elizant's Headphones: ♩ It's Christmas at Ground Zero, and the missiles are on their way. What a crazy fluke, we're gonna get nuked-♩
The music is interrupted by a phone call from Bianca (Named "Sweet Cheeks" on Kiro's phone).
Elizant: (Answers the call) Yes, my liege?
Bianca: Kiro, can you come over?
Elizant: Sorry, but I'm getting gains.
Bianca: But I'm alone.
Suddenly Elizant jumps out of the gym roof and through Bianca's roof.
Elizant: Hey, what's...
Hector waves "hello" meekly.
Bianca:...With Duke Onkled.
Hector: Hello-
Elizant: Fuck you.
After flying for a while Leif stops his flying carpet, launching himself and Vi into a tavern in Koridai. Leif lands on his feet like it's nothing while Vi faceplants.
Leif: I've gAHt to sit and shit.
Vi: You'd better shit fast.
Tanjerin (Droolik the Drunk Guy): Where you headed, partner?
Zelda: We're trying to find Link.
Leif: And beat Ganon['s ç̴̡̹̳̣̲͇̝͚͌̔*̶͖͇̬͇̘̝̳͚̖̙̞̝̙̀̽͒̈̉̾̽͒̇̋̚c̶̹͓̳̔̉͊k̸̪̅̕]
Vi: What.
Tanjerin: Don't fuuuck him, feeeed him-*chomps something* mmmm-this!
Vi: What is it?
Tanjerin: Raw meat!
Vi:...
Tanjerin falls over and dies.
Vi:...
Leif: SalmonellAH! *Leaves for the bathroom.*
Vi: *Sighs*
As Leif takes a dump, Kabbu is exploring around Koridai.
Kabbu: Oh boy, I can't wait to find Ganon!...How am I gonna find Ganon?
Finds a pile of bombs
Kabbu: Oh boy! Free bombs!
Kabbu runs around Koridai throwing bombs everywhere as the sounds of screaming and also Soulja Boy's "I'm So Fresh You Can Suck My Nuts" play.
Five minutes later, back at the castle.
Bianca: Did you bring pizza?
Elizant: Nay.
Bianca: Corn?
Elizant: Nay.
Bianca: How about nougat?
a horse: Neigh.
Bianca: Dammit, do you have any food?
Elizant: At my house, yes.
Bianca: Can you bring some?
Elizant:...I live on a separate landmass.
Bianca: How'd you get here so fast then?
Elizant: Because I thought you wanted to h-ah, never mind.
Bianca: Well, I'm hungry and have nothing to do but sit and talk with Duke Onkled. And also Impa.
Chompy (Impa): (Is Asleep) HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK-SHWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-BLBLBLBLLBLBLBLBLBBLB-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK-HWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-SHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-BLBLBLLBLBLB-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-MIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMI-SHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HOOOOONKKKKK-BIDIBIDIBIDIBIDIBIDI
Elizant: I'm sorry but I guess Duke Onkled-(Sees something behind Bianca) TRAITOR!
Bianca: (Turns around) What's-OAH!
They both see Hector scarfing down a Lean Pocket that was still in the freezer (which he left open), and just stand as he turns to look back at them. He swallows the last of the Lean Pocket worriedly before looking around for something to do or say.
Hector:...Lean Pockets♩!
Bianca: (Rage slowly boiling inside of her)...fffffffffFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!
Bianca's FUUCK echoes out so loudly it even reaches Koridai, catching Vi's attention as she and Leif walk around.
Vi:...Father?
Leif: Enough of that, Zelda. We have to focus on finding Ganon.
Bianca's cry causes a rockslide nearby, where one boulder lands on Leif and reveals a door with a sign above it saying "Front Entrance to Ganon's Lair".
Vi: Great! :D
Leif: My legs...
Vi: Walk it off.
Hoaxe (Ganon) holds up a chalupa whilst sitting on a massive pile of food.
Hoaxe: You are my dinner! (Bites the chalupa before spasming in disgust.)
Hoaxe: Chalupa! You must DIE!!!
Kabbu: Hey, Ganon!
Hoaxe: Hmm?
Hoaxe looks to his left to see Kabbu standing and smiling like a tool.
Hoaxe: Link??? How'd you find me?
70% of Koridai is a smoldering crater.
Kabbu: Oops! Got carried away!
Kabbu: Now! (Pulls out the Nerf gun) Give me back Koridai and Hyrule's food or else!
Hoaxe: Or else what, butt face?
Vi: Or else we'll join in!
Hoaxe looks to his right to see Vi and Leif, standing perhaps less goofily.
Hoaxe: Zelda?! (Sees Leif) No!!! Shriveled old turd!!!
Leif: You. Must. Die.
Kabbu: You can't win, Ganon! Not with my gun!
Hoaxe: (Pulls out a gun) GOOD OLD AMERICAN MMMMMMAGNUM!
Kabbu: Oh, shoot!
Hoaxe: Okie dokie! >:3
Vi: Hey, Ganon!
Hoaxe: What?
Vi: Go long! (Throws the raw meat at Ganon)
Hoaxe: Hah! (Eats the meat whole like a dog)...(His stomach growls)...Ohhh...More food poisoning...burrrrrrrrrnns...
Leif: (Punches Hoaxe in the balls.)
Hoaxe: AIEEE!
Vi: (Grabs Hoaxe's head and starts kneeing him in the face)
Hoaxe: OW!
Kabbu: (Holds up his Smart Sword) My Smart Sword! (Stabs Hoaxe with his Smart Sword)
Hoaxe: NO!
Then Vi, Kabbu, and Hoaxe just pummel Leif all together. Eventually he stops squirming, clearly dead. Vi, Kabbu, and Leif just stand there, looking at Hoaxe's lifeless body.
Then, the balloon shaped like Fry's head inflates to colossal size and carries Hoaxe's lair into the sky, causing the stolen food to start raining all over the land. Meanwhile, the Kirby's Dream Land credits theme but sung by Morshu starts playing.
As the group floats over, Crisbee (Harbanno the Baker) and the Mayor of Defiant Root (Mayor Kravendish) are standing together talking.
Crisbee: My cakes are gone...
Mayor: (To me, the writer) This is inaccurate, you know.
A giant cake lands on the Mayor.
Mayor: Dick.
The group also float over Fry and his shop, causing a pile of bananas to land in right by it.
Fry: (Pokes his head out of the shop) Ooh! Bananas! (Grabs the pile and brings it into his shop)
They also fly over the Mushroom Kingdom, A.K.A. Hallownest, as Tiso (Mario) and Quirrel (Luigi) look up at them.
Tiso: Luigi, look!
A bundle of spaghetti falls from the sky as Quirrel goes "Spaghetti!", landing onto Tiso's face.
Quirrel: For real this time!
Vi, Kabbu, and Leif laugh cheerily as they spread the food back to everywhere it belongs.
Kabbu: I'm so happy! No one will be hungry again!
Vi: Not quite but still! Only good things are happening!
Vi completely ignores how the food they're dropping includes gigantic bagels that fall onto and destroy buildings in New York.
Leif: I cannot wait to see His Majesty's smiling face whe-
Ganon's Lair crashes down onto Hyrule Castle, obliterating it.
Bianca: Oah! How are we okay?
Elizant: (In Mario's voice) Pizza da heck outta me!
Hector: (Raises his arm weakly while on the floor) Oooohhhh...
Vi, Kabbu, and Leif flop out of the lair onto what remains of the floor.
Bianca: You pieces of shit! I-(Sees the food) You saved my dinner!!!
King Harkinian kisses Zelda on the forehead.
Vi: *Laughs*
King Harkinian kisses Link on the forehead.
Kabbu: D'awww!
King Harkinian is about to kiss Gwonam on the forehead.
Leif: Gimme some sugar!
Bianca: Later.
Leif: ( ͡° ͜ ʖ ͡° )
Elizant: HEY!
Bianca: Thank you so much! I was about to eat Duke Onkled!
Hector: (Gets up with an arm that was visibly chewed off) It's true! :3
Bianca: Now it's finally time for dinner.
Kabbu: Oh boy! I'm so hungry, I could eat Ganon's head!
Kabbu: (Takes out Ganon's decapitated head) OMNOMNOMNOMNOM OMNOMNOMNOM OMNOM OMNOM OMNOMNOMNOMNOM OMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM NOM NOM NOM OM OMNOMNOM NOM OMNOMNOM OMNOMNOMNOM OMNOMNOMNOM OMNOMNOMNOM NOMNOM NOM OMNOM OMNOM OMNOMNOMNOMNOM OMNOMNOMNOM OMNOMNOM OMNOMNOMOMNOMNOM OMNOMNOM OMNOM OMNOM OMNOM OMNOM OMNOMNOMNOM

Everybody Else: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Kabbu: Ha! Ha! Ha! (A bomb falls out of his pocket) Oops.

a friend shared the stats for placements from our uni (it was laughably bad; we're mainly for research, so not many go for the industry anyway. it's still bad considering how the Institute is Important to and Respected by the Country). and my friend said that the pitiful stats could be us in 5 yrs, to which I replied, “guess we just gotta plow through with Galois’ courage and spirit in our hearts, huh” and the chat went silent.
once again goes to show why I should just stick to whining on my silly little tumblr blog, I guess?
#why. why am i like this.#why do i sabotage myself#i don't want to try and socialise any more it's too exhausting and disappointing and i don't know what they expect me to say or what#is the non-weird thing to say#i don't know what to not say to avoid awkward pauses and they are *absolutely* unbearable when it's a fricking online chat dear god#was what i said actually weird?#idk#im done guys y'all are stuck with me ok#im going to hole up in my room/a corner in the library and do my math/phy/bio and go to classes and labs#and be an annoying little bitch on this silly little blog of mine#yes. solid plan#but honestly. im too scared to ask for constructive feedback to know where im going wrong.#ah. what is this fresh new hell#well. not exactly fresh but guess who thought that having 2 friends throughout middle- and highschool is enough#and no more Friend-Making attempts were required?#i am now cringing so hard i feel an internal sprain#i hope i turn out as a Normally Functioning Adult by some lightning strike#anyways i shall thus subject you all to my maddening existence mwahahaha#jkjk i love y'all too much#but it's going to be in the Annoying Way as true love is#ru rambles#might delete later

We are going through the Hbomberguy video's Queer Video Essayist List to see if anything clicks and having the fun experience of taking all of five minutes to realize "wait a minute... we already know all this stuff! this guy's just saying it in a longer format!
#we speak#for context this is the queer horror essay#we put it on while we play picross games for fun and were going through the standard “long intro about vaguely tangential things” intro#where they say things like “horror is pretty queer” and establish that Horror Is In Fact Pretty Queer (we know this but its Standard)#and then they start getting in on the body horror parts and the horror of being transgender and we're like “yeah we know this also”#and then we're halfway in like "...okay we think we might know this already but we're hoping that it goes into insight we dont already have#we continue with the puzzles while still listening to the game. the voiceover keeps going with things we are Aware Of.#surely. we think. surely we will start getting the unique insights soon#the video ends. we are forced to confront the fact that we have spent more time researching and digging into this subject than the essayist#something something “ah yes the inherent horror of having a body the thing we stick in like 99% of our works in some way or another”#very tragically our perspective is skewed too much to fully appreciate this because we've already steeped ourself in the genre#we know this stuff. we are in fact writing stories that deal with the same damn themes in extremely similar dysphoria horror ways.#we are busy doing irritated antenna flicks at phrases like “elevated horror”#its just another genre of horror bro we really dont like acting like its in any way “better” because it integrates aspects of other genres#every story will integrate its own genre expectations and little fragments of other genres and a whole load of other stuff in different way#as someone who lives in this subgenre we are begging you not to put Our Sort Of Horror on a pedestal because its slightly more. artsy?#we dont even know the word but they call it elevated horror because it deals its horror in a way thats more Artsy and thus more palatable#it's a different flavor and that flavor happens to be farther away from the guts and gore and monsters usually associated with horror#but that does not mean it is in any way better than a slasher or a monster thing or any other kind of horror it just makes it different#it might be more or less palatable to you in being what it Is but it's still not like. “better”. “elevated”. it's just a different subgenre

EDIT: if this post has made you think about whether or not you are autistic, im really glad! i hope you get some better understanding of yourself and are able to find community and support
however before you go and tell a therapist and seek an official diagnosis please read this thread and consider the points made therein:
autism is highly stigmatized. be fully informed about what you gain and what you lose from having an official diagnosis before seeking one.
EDIT OVER ENJOY THE POST
people do correctly identify that laios is autistic fairly often but a lot of the reasoning begins and ends with his special interest and social difficulties, but honestly it goes far deeper into the build of his character than just those two things
his pain tolerance is wildly inconsistent, unable to tolerate a drop of hot oil (or any heat) but able to shrug off both his leg being bitten off and it being reattached
hes sensory seeking in the extreme. he rubs the bat bones against his face, pets and fluffs the shapeshifter tail.
his desire to eat monsters comes from three very autistic places. 1) the rules for why monsters are not okay to eat but animals are are arbitrary to him so he cannot follow them easily: he cannot understand the 'feelings' argument others make. 2) this too is a sensory seeking behavior. he wants to experience these new things, new flavors and new textures. 3) it completes his knowledge of the monster in question to also have data on its edibility. because he cannot draw that arbitrary line around all monsters, he wants to evaluate them case-by-case and see if real patterns emerge. butchering and eating the monsters improves his knowledge of them greatly and highlights their importance in their ecosystem, as well as making him a part of that same ecosystem
he cannot emote the way others expect him to. he compartmentalizes his feelings (to an unhealthy degree) because he needs a pragmatic solution. so as long as there is a problem to solve, that matters far more than evaluating his emotions and allowing himself to experience them. while this is also a coping mechanism for ptsd, it is a trait found in many autistic people regardless of trauma, as we have trouble sorting the feelings we have and often need time to think about what we feel, so it becomes easier to simply not do it and pretend we dont need to. laios emotions certainly affect him, with or without his processing them, but others do not see what they expect to see and thus dismiss that he is feeling what they would feel
he is incredibly gifted with pattern recognition, observation, and analysis within realms he understands. to understand subjects that dont come easily to him, he must filter them through his established schema (his special interest--this is why they are so special! they help us sort the world). when he isnt sure about the social cues and details hes observed in the shapeshifter arc, he filters it through the lens he understands best: monsters. he was making correct observations about his friends all along, but he could not be confident in that the way he was about their behavior when it came to his interest (chilchucks caution, senshis passions, and marcilles carelessness)

I think the eight alarms thing is usually a maladaptation. You've trained your brain to ignore the eight alarms because you kept avoiding the training of willpower following the first alarm would require. I think some sleep therapy might help?
Hey so first of all fuck you, thanks.
Second: I love it when you read literature on sleep disorders, especially if it's on sleep disorders among folks with ADHD, and you see time and time again "when allowed to sleep on their preferred schedule subjects maintained healthy, normal, restorative sleep cycles" and "effects were not lasting without ongoing intervention; resetting the sleep schedule is a permanent effort."
Like, if I sleep *great* from 6am to 2pm and I wake up feeling rested and alert with no special help but I need to turn off the lights in my house and shut down all electronics at 8pm and beam a spotlight into my face starting at 5am to wake up at seven and feel exhausted all day, I think perhaps it is not actually my sleep cycle that is wrong it is perhaps society that is wrong.
BELIEVE ME, when I find the job that pays well and has decent insurance that lets me exist as a cheerful nighttime ghoul I am jumping on that with both feet. But until then I literally feel better getting six hours of sleep and occasionally sleeping so hard that i can't hear my alarms because of chronic sleep deprivation than I do turning off all the lights in my house and ceasing all activity two and a half hours after I get off of work.
Also: the eight alarms aren't all there to wake me up, it's just that sometimes I *also* sleep through the ones that are supposed to remind me to go sit at my desk and start work. One of the first three usually gets me up, but on a day when I sleep through all three of those I will be sleeping through all eight of them and usually a phone call and someone trying to shake me awake to.
ANYWAY after being treated with melatonin and light therapy and staring listlessly at the ceiling in the dark bored out of my skull with racing thoughts for sleep disorders that I didn't have for like twenty years the single most effective intervention that allowed me to get more sleep as someone with both ADHD and DSPD was to start hanging out and being active in places where it would be easy to fall asleep if the sleep caught me there instead of turning my bedroom into a dark, silent shrine of snoozing. Giving myself permission to fall asleep late instead of laying awake chewing myself up with guilt for not being asleep helped too.
Actually here's some tips for the sleepy bitches in the crowd:
1 - If you're laying down and not falling asleep in half an hour, you're not actually sleepy; read something or get up and do something because you're more likely to get sleepy faster that way than you are staring at the clock going "if I fall asleep now I'll have three hours and forty five minutes of rest when I have to go to work; If I fall asleep now I'll have three hours and twenty minutes of sleep when I have to get up, etc. etc."
2 - Allow yourself to be ambushed by sleep. Fall asleep on your cozy couch. Fall asleep in the comfy chair. Let yourself sleep where you fall asleep instead of dragging yourself to where you're 'supposed' to sleep if doing so will wake you up.
3 - The mythbusters thing. If you just lay down and close your eyes and pretend to rest you will feel more rested when you get up than when you laid down. Laying down to rest is better than nothing, it literally causes cognitive improvements similar to sleep in tests, and knowing that can help take off some of the pressure of not being able to fall asleep and can thus help you fall asleep.
4 - It's okay to "hang out" in the area where you're going to sleep. Read in bed. Play games on your cellphone in bed. If you want to go to sleep put on comfy clothes and bring a chill activity and hang out in your bed to do it so that all you have to do when you start getting sleepy is close your eyes.
5 - It's better to get some sleep than no sleep. Sometimes you look at the clock and it's six AM and whoops, fuck it. Okay, time for bed, don't stress that you're only going to get a few hours, a few hours is better than nothing. Lay down to pretend to rest at least and you'll probably feel okay.
6 - This one sounds silly and might not work for a bunch of people for a bunch of reasons but apparently there's some research suggesting that "well-rested" is a state of mind? I've had a reasonable amount of success with just telling myself "Yeah, I actually feel pretty good," and pushing through the day on a couple of hours of sleep. I don't *recommend* that and you should try to get as much sleep as possible, but yeah the next time you're low on sleep see what happens if you just try to decide to not be tired. It sounded like bullshit to me when I first heard it but I've found some success with it.
7 - This shit is cumulative. If you're doing a couple nights a week on low sleep that's not ideal but you're probably going to be pretty functional and you can work on it. If you overbook and overextend yourself for too long - I'm looking at you college students and new parents - it's going to add up. Try as much as possible to at least keep your sleep deficit nights spread out. (This message brought to you by writing 60k words of fiction in october and completely frying my brain because i wasn't getting enough sleep).

I'm sorry Neil, although I love your writing and agree with your opinions on most subjects I have to disagree with you on the writers' strike. No-one should have a more privileged life as a result of being clever and creative. I worked from the age of 15 to the age of 65 in low-paid jobs, taking 1 year off to go to drama school and 3 years off to get a fine art degree. I worked in terrible but necessary jobs, labouring, stacking boxes, unloading trucks, running errands, filing, going to work on a bicycle at all hours of the day and night on shift work in all kinds of weather. Even when I was a student I was still working in part-time cleani8ng jobs and even during periods of unemployment I worked in volunteer jobs for charities and social services.
According to Mensa I have an IQ of 160 and according to Plymouth University I have a BA hons in Fine Art but I cannot accept the idea that writers and other creative people should avoid normal jobs like driving an "Uber" or working in an office/shop/factory/construction site. To accept that idea would be to create a new aristocratic class when we should abolishing the old princes and aristocrats.
What we need, I feel sure, is a redistribution of labour so that everybody who can do so would spend some time each year in blue collar work and everybody who can would get higher education and a chance to make art of one sort or another.
The idea of doing other jobs to supplement writing or drawing shouldn't be seen as a terrible thing, a punishment or a suffering. Sharing the jobs around should be seen as normal.
I mean, I've done my half century of sweat labour and it didn't hurt me too much. I'm retired now and still making art of various kinds and I've never asked anyone to pay me for any art piece I've made. making art, writing, drawing etc. is the fun stuff which we get to do in exchange for the blue collar stuff which puts food on the table.
The worst pop song ever written was Sting/Dire Straits song "Money for Nothing" which ridicules the working class from a position of educational privilege.
So what's my question? My question is: What's wrong with a writer doing other jobs to make ends meet? Sounds perfectly fine to me.
Nothing's wrong with a writer doing other jobs to make ends meet. Writers and artists have been doing that since the dawn of time. Actors too.
But by the same token, there's nothing right about assuming that writing isn't a blue-collar job, or that writers and other people who make art can only make it for love and that thus they need other jobs to subsidise their craft.
I like living in a world in which the people who make the things that make the world worth living in get paid for their work. For me, that includes the people who make films and TV, books, art and music and comics.
Having spent a lot of time on film and TV sets, it's a blue-collar world on set, and everyone is working long and hard to make the shows you love. I'm never going to suggest that the riggers or the gaffers or the make-up team or the focus-pullers should drive ubers in order to have the privilege of being on the set and working there.
Or to put it another way, from the most blue-collar writer I ever knew...
