Nobody Wants to Die 2024

#wrapped it up #it was an interesting experience #if all the cliches #if they're fun that's not bad per se #it lost cohesion after the first half #then it picked back up towards the end #hated some parts but loved the environments #story left me with so many questions #many world building technicalities left unadressed #like what even are the actual logistics of the Thing #but then there's multiple endings I guess so maybe a replay in time?#I'm not sure if it's a rec at this point #anyway it was an Experience #nobody wants to die #indiedev #critical hit games

compliments from girls go hard

#comic #the girly girls are girling girling #this one popped off on twitter and there are SOOOO many wonderful positive comments about shared experiences omg #anyway lmao this happened at a friends birthday and we spent so long trying to find out who this was #all i remembered was “petite/shorter than me / nice hair / one could define her style as ”pinterest coquette“ lmao

i didn't have "i'm broken" teenage asexual angst i had "i'm literally being the only reasonable one about this concept and the rest of you are behaving like fucking freaks" perception issues

#oh the experience of being 13 years old and seeing all my friends talking about wanting to have sex and obsessing over it #and being like 'we are all literally WAY too young to be having sex what the actual fuck are you talking about #why are you even considering it when we have much more important things to worry about. like how much middle school sucks'#you know what though. i still stand by this. that was an entirely reasonable thought to have and i WAS being normal about it #anyway #mine #asexuality

autumnal chill....featuring the girl

#my art #oc #svanhildr #furry #anthro #goat #almost typed ''featuring the girk''#my favourite girk of all time baby #this took an INORDINATE amount of time but also i was experimenting with style so maybe it's somewhat ordinate #i did the brush/texturing too small but it looks nice when you zoom in on some parts #and i finally have a decent twitter banner so small mercies #anyway summer kind of sucked this year - not much warm weather. better than last year but still pretty bad #hopefully september comes in clutch with some last minute sun. so i can appreciate the autumnal chill more when it comes #also scrumping season is coming to a close and i regret not eating more greengages when i had the chance...they rotted off so fast #apple season save me. save me apple season #illustration

#dungeon meshi #aj art #chilchuck #comic #I was thinking about it #chilchuck was not the first person to the experience of almost being used as bait #it was apparently a very common practice #and so I’m like. He definitely has known people in his community who ended up meeting this fate #who didn’t get out on time the way he did #i dont think he formed the whole union over just his own experience #Anyways shoutout to meijack #Experiencing the trauma that is seeing your father cry #beabell #Chilchuck backstory stuff #Clemjo

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"

#linguistics #gen z slang #english #as people in the reblog pointed out!#most gen z slang comes from (or was appropriated from) aave #honestly I was just excited to talk about how people in my field actually get excited about non standard uses of English #instead of ridiculing speakers #and I tagged incorrectly and didn’t point out the very real issues of language and power and appropriation inherent in modern slang #in that much of it was appropriated #and even that which experiences language change in the wider culture still originated in aave #aave is just as linguistically valid as any other English dialect because it is a proper language #and the grammar is incredible!!!#habitual be is fantastic and an excellent example of how a richer case system or a certain case can render an adverb unnecessary #and the phonology is just beautiful #anyway I’m very sorry #I fucked up

"just as I did, in 1983."

you'd never know my favourite parts of the show are the fucked up insane bits when my first instinct is to draw the cheesiest thing imaginable

#my art #interview with the vampire #iwtv amc #iwtv #armand iwtv #daniel molloy #armand #armandaniel #devils minion #drew this before the finale but idk maybe this is during the unspecified amount of time between armands divorce and daniels press tour #the titian painting doesnt fit at ALL with the timeline btw #i THOUGHT it did bc i assumed 1508 was when armand was turned into a vampire BUT upon reflection thats more likely the year he was born #and even then the painting was made in like 1510 so fuck me i guess. also im foggy on when armand was taken to rome #idk man i havent read the books and i failed art history on two separate occasions i cannot endeavor for accuracy #anyway as much as i love 70s/80s devils minion i have equal love for old man daniel #his cynicism has been tempered by time... refined like a diamond... he dont gaf and bullies his loser vampire and its hilarious #like ''sure yeah fine all these old italian renaissance guys saw ur ethereal otherworldly beauty but literally anybody can see that''#''IM the only mf who gets to experience the incandescent joy of seeing you be a messy idiot''#sidenote trying to make armand look unflattering is impossible u can blame the show for casting the worlds most beautiful man

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order #at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers #90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies”#serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent #like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries #but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate #and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited...#i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something #cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare #and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest.#it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!'#'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members...#..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)'#anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language?#maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity #and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media #and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons #and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators #instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period #anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value”#and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives #so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs)#happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world #(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills)#and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on...#...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin #oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works?#beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value #and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the #important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)

"Perhaps a lesser-known gift of Kenobi's was his ability to listen."

(AU where post-banishment Ahsoka gets zapped back to TPM, strapped with a fundamental distrust of the Jedi, an apocalyptic vision of the future, and a mandate to help Anakin Skywalker. So, in all this, it's nice to have a confidant.)

edit: link to the fic

#found myself thinking about these two lately #star wars #i return briefly to star wars for May 4th #ahsoka tano #obi-wan kenobi #although he smiles stuff #illustration #art #artists on tumblr #fanart #shout out to those who've read the fic #I went back to edit it recently #cursed experience #trying to decipher my writing is like trying to read doctor's handwriting but i gave it a crack anyway

there's something so poetic about kipperlilly copperkettle—who hated one of her classmates for daring to be better than her and having a dead dad, who refused to improve herself and instead chose to be bitter and entitled, who was so obsessed with being Special and Important like she felt she deserved that she willingly worked with a rage god, betrayed her party, and killed her friend—getting killed by fucking. Hold Person. her fancy optimal build IMMEDIATELY folding in the face of riz's cleverness and experience and applied knowledge. she spends years fixated solely on racking up EXP and getting the Best Abilities, and then when she dies, she's killed not in glorious combat but by a clever, practical application of a 2nd level spell that she NEVER would have ever thought of using because she has no creativity or adventurers' spirit, cast by the same classmate she always hated with a watch his dead dad gave him.

#so obsessed with getting as high level as possible but gets killed by a low level spell #one she never would have considered casting herself because she's level 20! she's optimized! she has the BEST skills at her disposal!#but she ultimately loses to riz who follows the proud gukgak tradition of hard work as an act of love #who has years of experience gained from a genuine desire to help people rather than a desire for attention or accolades #and who is simply fucking better at pvp #kipperlilly copperkettle #riz gukgak #fantasy high #fhjy #fantasy high junior year #dimension 20 #d20 #anyway i fucking KNEW she was evil!!!!

i lied theres no sex. were gonna sit down and watch supernatural while we analyze the way almost every character is queer coded especially dean

#supernatural #dean winchester #spn #destiel #castiel #deancas #sam winchester #theyre all queer because i said so #at this point it feels so wrong to call deans queerness a headcanon like it so soo heavily implied its literally canon #sam however......#and if i said a character who has always felt like they dont belong and something is inherently wrong with them is heavy queercoding......#like wow thats Queer Experience literally #ALSO U KNOW WHAT IM SOOOOOO UPSET ABOUT OMG #like i LOVE LOVE LOVE when in dean and cas live together and claire and kaia come over and hang out im gonna cryyyyy #and they sooo shouldve done that in the show #anyway a queer show (real) for queer people (debatable)
