Did you know? You have to post art for people to see it. Wild, we know. Anyways, we finally drew our Bau's swords, and we're going to make you decipher their extremely thick (designated south Appalachian from our American Accent Experts) accent. Also comes with bonus notes under the cut.

"Y'see, the thing with weapons is that if y'ain't careful wit'em y'can really tear up a man. Throwin' metal aroun' th'place doesn' come without consequences. It c'n take a lotta work ta master any weapon't all, an' even more work t' keep from hurtin' anyone y'wouldn't want to." "Take m'swords, for example. These're cuttin' blades, n' they're hooked't th'tip. Y'see this sorta thing fer sport, usually, but they're a bit useless fer actual fightin' cuz they don't cut shell. Y'need t'have some dexterity t'put 'em to work, 'cuz hitting shell with 'em's worse'n useless. Dulls yer blades, 'n such. Y'need ta hit b'tween th'shell, or't does nothin', 'n any actual hit'll be real likely t'kill 'r maim." "Mine've got swordbreakers in'm, cuz I don' really use'm t'cut. Bit narrow t'really club with, but I like'm narrow cuz I like t'get inta guards. Th'hook's made ta get inta joints, but't works just's well t'grab shit outta bags'r hands, n' th'extra grabbin' bits make't a bit easier t'nab that." "'f I miss, worse't happens is't some bug gets'r shell sliced, 'n tha' doesn't mean much, y'know? No major hit, 'll scab over'n a few hours'n be fine. 'f I used a crushin' weapon, though, 't might actually hurt 'em." "'n a pinch, they'll work jus' fine fer th' original purpose. Fit th' hook 'nto a limb, give'a shallow cut, 'n most people'll back off once they know y'could've ripped a limb off. Makes't harder for'm t'wield a weapon, too. If's somethin' real fussy like a velvet ant- they don' clot like other bugs, so y'can't really draw blood from'm- then'm usually stronger'n em, so disarmin' works jus' fine, 'n I can hold onto 'em if'ey still wanna pick a fight." "…'sides, carryin' aroun' two'a these makes me look real cool, don'tcha think? All fancy'n such."

Bau's specific accent for the in-universe setup rather than the "translating things" is, like. Distinctly "cricket or grasshopper who has not really made an effort to, like, get around the fact that their mouthparts aren't super made for the sorts of sounds used in bugnish" which is perceived as a Hick Accent because a lot of crickets Do tend to work around similar, like, Perceived As Hick Industries Done By Mostly Uneducated People. It takes Effort to sort of train yourself to speak in a way that will read to other bugs as More Educated, and Bau has just sort of… never bothered? Best they've got is enunciating it a bit more clearly, chief. They're not relearning how to speak a whole language to be seen as Slightly More Educated.

In terms of actual in-universe sounds that are Not translated to English they'll just sound a lot chirpier. You could probably interpret some of the words in there as adjacent to the sort of shit you hear out of birds. Might be able to unintentionally set off the fight-or-flight of bugs who used to be heavily preyed upon by small songbirds if cussing violently enough. Sometimes you accent sounds with actually making the standard cricket-chirp sound if you're trying to be sexy.

Sometimes you also do this when you are pissed off at people, This is because crickets are Like This and a lot of them will fucking fight each other for the approval of a potential mate.

Anyways, the fun part of Bau's weapons is that they are deliberately built for being showy and impressive and letting them do flashy sleight-of-hand with their opponent's belongings while also being hideously inefficient enough as actual weapons that bringing them onto the battlefield in the first place actively seems like a terrible strategic decision.

#our art #bug fables #finished #ink #bau #ocs #our ocs #we should. transfer the ask channel stuff over here. it would be a good idea #are we smart enough to do this though #anyways. we write baus accent out phonetically from our personal remembrance of the specific accent we're aiming for #and some things have been smoothed out so as to read better in text because “but't” doesn't read right #we are doing this because a lot of these words read like entirely different words in our mind when not contracted

I'm kind-of genuinely devastated that they decided to cut out the reveal of Perrin having known all along about Mon Mothma's rebel activities and was getting interrogated WEEKLY by the Empire and never cracked even once.

This would've helped answer SO MANY QUESTIONS about Mon and Perrin, and it could've easily helped answer the question of why Mon felt like she could just walk away from her family after making herself public enemy number one.

She goes to finally explain it all to Perrin right before she makes the speech because dammit she might not have trust him or even like him all that much but she doesn't want him DEAD and he deserves the chance to find this out from her and get himself to safety before she turns his life upside down, and he tells her he's known all along and covered for her this whole time and never once cracked or been discovered, even when she framed him for gambling and sold off their daughter to a gangster's son. He lets her know that he doesn't need to go to safety, he's not just going to run now because that'll just make him look like he was involved in it. He can continue to cover for himself when the Empire comes to interrogate him again, and he can do it well enough to ensure Leida doesn't get implicated, either. Mon's priority is the rebellion, her priority is her work and it always has been, even to the detriment of her relationship with her family, and Perrin understood that but it meant that HIS priority had to be protecting and taking care of Leida in the absence of her mother. So Mon has to go, but Perrin has to stay because their daughter needs him now more than ever.

And it just makes the choice that Mon has made so clear, the sacrifice she chose to make for the sake of the rebellion, and she can't back out now, she can't make a different choice because she tells herself she's doing this FOR Leida, to try to make a better world for her daughter to live in, but in order to give Leida that world, she has to leave Leida behind.

But she realizes now that she CAN trust Perrin, she could've trusted him all along, so she chooses to trust him now. She trusts him with their daughter, she trusts that he can take care of himself and Leida in her absence once more.

This helps Mon's arc SO MUCH, and I honestly love it, and as Bissell says it's technically a non-canon thing now because it clearly never even made it into the script really let alone got filmed, but it's pretty easy to slot it into what we DID get to see, so as far as I'm concerned, this is my canon. This fixes so many of the problems I had with the end of this arc for Mon and makes it so much more emotional and almost tragic. Mon made her choices and you can argue that some of them were mistakes if you want, you can argue that it made her a bad mother if you wanted to, but it's so much more complicated and nuanced than that, and I love that this finally makes that so clear. Mon made her choice and her family paid the price a long time ago, long before Mon was willing to acknowledge that she'd made that choice.

#star wars #mon mothma #perrin fertha #andor #andor spoilers #andor s2 spoilers #sw andor #star wars andor #this fits in SO much better with the perrin from mask of fear actually too #and the relationship he and mon have and the choice that mon makes towards the end about keeping him in the loop or not #she doesn't KNOW for sure if she can trust him and she has to make a choice and she does #and she sticks to it #but she did know that he had strengths that she didn't have and they had been more of a team once and she did care about him #and i love the idea that mon is the one who keeps distancing herself and all perrin can do is watch #and he's smart enough and connected enough to know exactly what's happening and why and he even AGREES with it #even though he hates that she doesn't trust him and hates the way it makes leida feel #he never confronts her about it because what she's doing IS important and if she wanted to trust him to help her then he's right there #he loves mon enough to just keep his silence and take care of leida and do what has to be done to protect her #and mon loves perrin enough to try to protect him by keeping him out of it #and unfortunately all that does is tear the two of them apart because that's what secrets do #GOD it just HITS in the perfect way #this is the kind of quality development we could've gotten with fuller seasons #just let mon feel the real consequences of the choices she's made #let her get slapped in the face with the truth of what she's chosen to do #and she can't regret it or even claim that she wishes she'd done it any other way #but her actions have had consequences #much like cassian's choices have consequences even if he'd do it again if he had to because the rebellion and the cause is worth it

dude i was feeling so great before a pathetic cis man once again questioned my intelligence

#and then 2 days later i see his project so far and its so sad and pathetic #dude went on a trip to nyc with his coworkers and was lonely so he wrote an 8 minute song about it and out it over sad clips of nyc #so WHY DO I STILL FEEL STUPID???#this dude assumed i didn't know what secondary action in animation is #on the day of our workshop on the 12 principles of animation #for which i made the whole animation demo #after be had presumably seen the animations I'd posted in the class discord server #this dude is so lame and im letting him make me feel like shit #he's repeatedly spoken to me like he assumes I'm the stupidest person in the room #i think it's cause im so clockable #misogynist cis men who usually treat women this way also treat trans men this way if we dont pass enough #idk man that's gotta be it #cause i may be stupid but im a little smarter than average i think #im as smart as an art student with adhd (and the other one that i dont wanna name bc of recent usa events) can be #but dude he ruined my whole fucking week with that #my spirit was crushed #i even complemented his powerpoint even though it was bare bones and ripped from wikipedia #and he didn't complement my demo or even comment on it #other than during it he did it along with the other students and when i encouraged him he was all #yeah gonna see if this actually works #HUH??#buddy it's just a pendulum exercise it's not rocket science #do you doubt my ability to animate a pendulum?#fuck you dude #the way he talks to me is like those men who ask women wearing band tees to name 1 song by the band #no wonder your coworkers didn't wanna hang out with you dog you suck #when he 2nd guessed if i knew what 2ndary animation is #i like shared a glance with a classmate and she seemed just as incredulous abt that comment as i was #so at least i know im not crazy

the way i think about learning and education changed sm compared to when I was younger

#like i cared so little about school when i was younger (altough maybe now i might do a little too much)#but not just that... i thought i'm just not that person who can do well at school #i can't memorise stuff well enough and i'm probably stupid anyway but who cares about that stuff and school #and i won't need it for life anyway other skills are important in the real world anyway that's all useless #i guess i also had that idea that one day i will just come up with some grand idea or business type thing to make money #i mean that's also that kind of stuff u see all over the internet and i def saw too much of that #and sure that's possible but how often and even then is it even so great having that type of job where ur never off #and like other jobs which are achieved though education have a lot of beauty too and there are many great routes which require education #at first i didn't even want to go to uni because i was so sick of school and i believed i wouldn't belong there anyway bc of those reasons #and because i thought i was too stupid in that way to make it #i also had this weird view of looking at some smart people as know it alls or being pretentious and i didn't wanna be all that??#still don't know why i thought that?? it honestly sounds sooo stupid and i also thought i wouldn't fit in with uni students anyway...#like i'm so different... couldn't have been more wrong #i never felt more belonging than at uni like this is where i'm supposed to be - the great people i met there and friends i made #and my awesome professors #i actually admire some of them so much 🥺#like i wanna be like them - whatever path i will end up in jobwise #might become a teacher too or even a professor (dare i dream lol) or sth with media could also be a great option 🤭#but what i mean why i admire them sm they're so intelligent but also many of them such great people #like empathetic helpful and idk i just love smart people #they're so well spoken and i highly value people who really know their stuff well by now and they certainly do #but not only that also having such great general knowledge u can have such interesting conversation with such people #and many professors actually have opened my eyes to many issues of our our world and made me rethink and change some of my views #or just things i wasn't even aware of bc we all live in our little bubble at time at least i certainly did #only obsessing over my little life and sometimes turning the head away from cruelities elsewhere #and i feel being an intelligent person is actually so cool now and i wanna know important stuff on many topics but especially...#about what i then can use for my future job or whatever i do in life and nothing i learn feels pointless now or almost nth #but even then useless stuff in school it wasn't all for nothing if u had approached it the right way #just learning by itself can teach you important skills and knowledge like how to learn - how to memorise stuff the best way...#or finding out what ur capable of and growing ur self esteem it's all valuable in some way

I want to befriend Kaneki and meet with him and email him forever

#we should do everything together everything should be parallel play #and then when we go our separate ways at the end of the day I want to still email him things #like pictures of succulents and a glimpse under the amazon river #I want to email him pbs eons videos #I can show him coffee shop vlogs and ask “is this u”#in person I’d mostly let him do the talking and decide what to do #take me down the most intimidating alley on a whim after you said we were just buying lunch pls #I want to eat lunch with him so bad 😭😭😭🙏#it’d be kind of awkward though bc he wouldn’t be eating anything he’d just be sipping his coffee #being with Kaneki is the ultimate dream I wanna see his morning irritation I want to be pleasantly startled by him with his quiet footsteps #& get to ask him about what he’s reading #or how his training is going #or whatever he’s doing #I would ask him how he’d rate vacuuming out of 10 and if he gives it below a 5 will vacuum his house #I feel like he’d lie though and say he likes doing every kind of work just to stop others from doing it #unless he wasn’t in a state where he’s able to actively think about others like that #he should stop doing things and jsut relax imagine taking him on a nice tour trip up mount Fuji that would b nice #stay in a cabin make a snowman clap for him when he skis #he was so good at skiing in the TG calendar?!?? who taught him to ski #did he read “idiots guide to skiing” a day before and absorb all the knowledge like a sponge #he’s so smart. I wish I was smart. or at least smart in an applicable way #I want to try harder but I kind of can’t #or I get sort of frozen by something and can’t find a way forward unless I scurry around it (no one wants u to do this)#I love Kaneki he’s both literally and kind of metaphorically half human and I am too so if we combine we’ll have the power of one full human #we can be human if we stand close enough together #idk he might not want to stand next to me tho he has better options #kaneki time

If youre ok w sharing then i would love to hear your thoughts on lotor........ Hes such a weird guy. Dissecting him like a frog

If i get hate for this, i am blaming you/j but in all honesty i apologize if this kinda messy, as i have said it has beem awhile since i saw any of the episodes about him. Most of it is my personal interpretation and opinions of his character-

First of all i personally hate both "L0tor is evil rapist imperialist who did not have a single redeemable quality" and "L0tor is uwu poor baby who did nothing wrong", because yeah he had good intentions and he seemed to genuinely love Alura and care for Alteans but also he very much did do a lot of things Wrong. I am pretty sure a lot of his actions fall into category of Very Wrong

Lot0r to me is an absolute control freak, he has to be 10 steps ahead of everyone, he needs to be control of the situation no matter what. Whether it be through a silver tongue or by his blade (see N@rti's death, him vs White Lion). This is as much as a ruthless strategy as it is a trauma response. Being raised under Z@rkon, a father who only saw him as inferior half-bred, he had to learn survivor tactics. He will do anything to survive whether it be beg, lie, manipulate, and kill. He is a survivor of some genuinely godawful abuse he suffered for 10,000 years, combined with racism he suffered for being half altean

However this need to be in control extends to his allies and people he cares about. I am sure Lotor may have loved Alura, it doesnt change the fact that he very much abused her trust. Their entire relationship was based on a lie. He knew Alteans were still alive and not only did he not tell Alura about it he leaned into the "last survivors of Altea" for their relationship, which is why it was doomed since the beginning. And if it had not been this, then it would have been something else. Cause lying and manipulation are very much core of his character, that is how we are introduced to him

Like i see people going "Oh Lot0r could have been good if he had therapy and a hug", and i am not really not sure about it, cause like would he? Would he choose to be vulnerable and actually let his feelings out and be truthful in a an unbiased reliable way that will neither serve him in any way nor make him look better nor is a part of some machivilian scheme he cooked up because he doesnt trust the therapist he is paying? No

And thing is he does desire connection. He looks for connection in people who are similar to him. Half galran, altean survivors, Alura these are the people who he chose to get close to. He looks for similarities, people he can relate to, people who he sees as like him, people who he thinks can give him a sense of belonging. He is deeply lonely. However his desperation for control, absolute mistrust in anyone and everyone, and his inability to be actually honest dooms any relationship he'll ever have

Also this is probably just me, but for someone who is this morally complex character he has tendency to see things in black and white? Like it is His dad and empire= bad, alteans=good. He idolizes Altea to the point of seeing it as an Utopia, and this ideal was more important to him than any Alteans who are alive and with him. I also cant remember him ever caring about someone outside of the Dichotomy. Like at most i remember is after he became the emperor Lance pointing out how other planets need to be freed and he just brushed it off

Overall he gives me the "smart people dont always make good decisions, but they are good at justifying their bad ones" vibes. We dont know exactly why he decided to use alteans as batteries but i am choosing to go with my interpretation- "Lottor saw something fucked up in that future showing space whale thingy, decided the only way to solve was altean batteries except in true self fulfilling prophecy greek tragedy way it only made things worse and started a series of event that will cause the thing he saw causing real trouble a few years after his death.

Another thing! I think it should have been him being the focus of Evil Altean episode instead of A//ura. I hate that episode and everything it stands for but like if there Had to be an evil alteans episode then it should be around someone who is you know? Obsessed with Altean culture? Is big on control and manipulation? Is more geared towards big picture and "greater good" over individual? Is worried about turning into just like his galran father and so desperately wants to connect to his idealized version of his altean mother? Yeah

#empty answers #This is the type of shit that used to get you sniped from both sides of the shitty discourse back in ye old days #I probably have more thoughts but i also need to rewatch vld to have a clearer picture #Also i dont get when people say it was bad writing that he turned out traitor #Like it was handled in abhorent way but also- we are literally introduced to him manipulating an entire audience #The fuck yall mean yall thought he was genuine??#I used to like him but come on man #That was the most obvious disney twist villain if i have ever seen one #and vld writers are not smart enough to do something actually subversive #Also gonna be real with you while i do have a lot of thoughts of him i kinda also dont enjoy his character??#It is-how do i put it? A bit lame #Like the eps were going on about how he is this Most Complex Character and instead we have is-#a disney twist villain and sad anime backstory that is supposed to absolve him or something #I can think of so many villains/character that had similar aspects to him but were just Way Better #A convincingly manipulative man with black and white morality who thinks he is in the right even though his actions beg to differ?#B3los is right there #Villain who uses manipulation as a defense mechanism which only drive all their friends away? Grace monr0e and Sash Waybrigt #A tragedy who just wanted peace for his people only for things to spiral so horribly they destroyed the very people they sought to protect?#M0rdred pendrag0n hnoc my beloved <33 #A hot villain who is morally reprehensible but is really hot? M3dusa G0rgon <3 #And just. I think the problem is the writers wanted him to be all of those things and he ends up being none of them #Not to mention the plot armour. You mean to tell me he is being this obvious and yet no one suspected anything??#Yeah right. Detective!Hunk for the win!#Anyway sorry this is late and so rambly #Thanks for the ask!!!!#Anyone else reading this. This is just a personal opinion ok? No fights ok??

I have new neighbors and today they were out in their yard (the youngest kid saw a cool bug) and their little dog was offleash so I got to meet neighbor dog! Neighbor dog is my new favorite

#the person behind the yarn #neighbor dog is small and has curly fur and tiny little corgi-esque legs #and her tail is so fluffy it drags on the ground when it's down #but she mostly walks around with her tail up and waving like a flag #absolutely adorable! I sat on the ground to greet her (to be less intimidating)#and once I passed the sniff check and she'd greeted my dad and brother too #she came back to me and flopped against my legs for more pets #I am delighted to meet her and hope I will see her again in the near future #and since she's an offleash dog and my yard is not really fenced between my house and my neighbor's #I'm sure I will lol #I do not understand offleash dogs? like. fundamentally don't get it #but also none of my childhood dogs were recall trained #and my main two dogs in childhood were A. a runner. wanted to run more than anything. if the door was open he'd run and run and run #not to get away he just really liked running #and B. my dear Wolfie who had the common sense of a block of concrete #we could not let that dog offleash because he would get lost inside the house #he got stuck up a tree once (only like a foot off the ground)#he was the size of a sort of large rabbit (another reason not to be offleash)#so he was offleash in our fenced in yard but only supervised #either by a human or by our other dog (who was both smart and scary enough to scare away other animals)#okay I guess I had three childhood dogs? I think we got Lilly when I was an adult though #Lilly could not be an offleash dog because she had an EXTREMELY high prey drive. she was a hunting dog #she was also Wolfie's bodyguard

The dog I've been sitting for in the haunted house is the most neurotic dog I've dealt with, which is really saying something. She's not bad but she IS completely bonkers. And she's not a rescue! Same owners her whole life. How do people fuck up an animal's brain this hard?

The only thing I've seen even close was a rescue dog adopted during covid lockdown who then didn't understand what other dogs are and had crazy separation anxiety.

#i feel like this is what it was like to deal with me after my parents failed to teach me anything about being human #like this dog ONLY exists to glom onto people and that makes me sad for her #she has no idea how to dog #and can't be out of sight of a person without losing it #idk the longer i pet sit the more i see the hows and whys of fucked up animals #and it's.......#it's always a human's fault in my experience #i guess bc im seeing dogs whose families care about them enough to get a sitter #but idk why it's assumed by americans that we magically know what's good for dogs even though most of us know very little about animals #i feel sadder and sadder for dogs with no toys #dogs who don't take walks or ONLY take walks and never get to be off leash #dogs who sit in an empty room all day with nothing to do #i understand the impulse to have a smart little animal who loves you #but shit they're too smart to be ignored all the time without going a little bonkers #i legit go and buy chews and toys w my own money when i see a client's dog is bored #and it invariably makes the dog better to deal with #IDK YALL IM STRESSED ABOUT PETS #i know they're not the same but people should get cats instead they're better at entertaining themselves

Me when I have plans but my head looks like a trashcan on fire and like 3 separate "mes" are arguing with me about said plans

#like ok. guys we made plans. please.#like genuinely i have no idea how other people just exist like whenever i want to do something there is at least one part of me that very #passionately wants to do the exact opposite even though it wasnt there just a second ago #like is nobody elses head a car filled with people going on a road trip or what?#because i kinda assume that that is the default state of being but nobody else seems to have as many problems with it #because i do feel like my head is a car full of people going on a road trip.#and hey from the outside it looks so united; right? it looks like just one car and it looks like it must be calm inside but it isnt #because theres a driver and a navigator in the passenger seat and several family members in the back seats and theyre shouting #something at the driver and the driver is getting really irritated and someone is sleeping in the trunk of the car #and if the driver gets pissed off enough theyll shout 'OK! Do it yourself if youre so smart!'#and lets go of the wheel and crawls into the back to sleep #and then someone else takes the wheel and theyre driving the car #and sometimes that exchange of the wheel is calm because only one person wants the wheel #but sometimes its loud and chaotic and painful because everyone wants the wheel and theyre all fighting and trying to take it #and sometimes two people are driving at once #and sometimes nobody actually wants the wheel they just like to complain. so nobody is driving and the car is speeding down the high way an #it might just drive off a cliff because nobody wants to go ahead and take the wheel #and sometimes the driver is really really really really tired and would LOVE #for someone to take the wheel for a bit but nobody wants to take it. and sometimes the driver kinda wants to keep driving #but someone goes 'Actually I'm taking the wheel; this looks like a job for me. Sod off.' and yeets the driver to the back #or to the passenger seat #and i assume that this is how it works for everyone.#which is why i assume that i am VERY bad at handling it

i hate them so much / i don’t like them / i don’t trust them / they annoy me / they’re weird / I’m indifferent / meh / they seem alright / they’re growing on me / truce / I think I like them / I like them / I’m not sure if I trust them / I trust them / they’re cool / they’re genuine / I think we’re going to get along / I really like them / I think I’m in love / oh fuck they’re hot / I love them.

BABY WATCH 2024!

First 24 hours with the new kitten. Thought it was a she, but did a closer inspection earlier and I’m leaning towards a he.

Anyway, the good stuff: he is the sweetest, most well behaved kitten I have ever seen. He’s an angel. He spent most of last night sleeping on my chest. I haven’t had such an actively affectionate cat in ages. The two I have now are sweet, but they don’t really cuddle. This little dude does. This little dude is awesome. He follows me around, doesn’t get into things he’s not supposed to, and instantly knew how to use a litter box. If he wasn’t so young, I’d think he was an abandoned indoor cat. But he’s baby. My baby. Still needs a name, though.

The not so good stuff: I DO NOT need another cat! I live in a small apartment with two other adult cats and a small dog. New cats are also expensive! He’s gonna need shots and to get fixed and, to be painfully honest, I really don’t know if I can afford that now. Shit, I’m basically out of (human) food until I can get some cash on friday. It’s rough. I’m really anxious. I love this little guy. I didn’t just pick a random kitten. I’d seen him outside a couple of times and I just… I hated the idea of this way too trusting little guy trying to survive out in the world. He just kept crying out at me and following me. There are other stray cats around, but this one is so small and so sweet and he followed me home and he loves me so much I literally started crying while holding him bc I didn’t want him to ever have to fight just to survive out there. I hate it. I mean, I love him, but it does make me feel kind of sick inside bc I know it’s not exactly a smart decision to take in a stray right now. Life sucks. He’s curled up next to me in bed now and if he wasn’t so tiny and sweet and wonderful, I might be okay not keeping him & letting him stay outside with his friends. I’m glad he’s not a human baby or I’d really be freaking out right now.

Anyway, I’d die for him now so it’s a done deal. My baby now.

#baby watch 2024 #I love him!!!!!#im also really anxious and sad about how I’m going to afford/live with another cat #this is why I can’t look at the adoptable cats at pet stores. it will 100% ruin my day.#absolute unobtainable dream would be to one day own a large piece of land and adopt/foster as many strays as possible #blegh… stressful #but he’s a little angel so it’s okay #it’ll work out in the end #the juice is worth the squeeze as they say #a baby #I should say I do have a ton of experience with raising kittens #things were kinda… out of control when I was a kid #at one point my family had almost two dozen cats in the house which sounds terrible I know #hoarders level terrible #there were a few stray cats we fed and then took in #and then they turned out to be pregnant and had babies everywhere #so yeah we had a ton of kittens #we managed to get most of them adopted though so it wasn’t like we were living with a horde of cats everywhere #just long enough for them to ween off milk and be adopted #it was a very rough time #so this past day I’ve been having a lot of flashbacks to taking care of kittens #skipping school to take care of them. in like 5th grade. stressful. not smart life decisions.#what can I say I’m dumb as hell #this isn’t important #you can ignore this #text #mine

It's strangely gender-affirming when my mom gets defensive and accuses me of mansplaining

#she didn't say that exact word this time but she has before lol #i'm just Speaking. she does not like it when i use ''academic'' words.#this is also actually interesting though! it's something i've started to pay close attention to.#i talk a lot in class anyway but as my peers are starting to see me more as male their perceptions of me are going to change.#so me talking a lot goes from 'wow she's so smart she should get her phd!' --#-- to possibly feeling condescended.#but i'm being generous here lol. i don't think ANY of my peers at school see me as male.#'her pronouns are they-slash-them' yeah fuck you actually. and they're not.#but on seeing me as male:#apparently my friends do and they have straight up never questioned it or thought of me any other way #which boggles my mind. i am not a tall or big person. i have a deep-ish voice for a female but it's not enough.#it's not enough.#last thoughts: you can't argue with my mother when she does her whole 'i just wish everyone was equal so we wouldn't need all these ---#--- categories and labels' thing. maybe i am mansplaining when i tell her why identity politics are necessary right now.#maybe she should develop a more critical consciousness instead of accidentally associating w the 'i don't see colour' crowd.

Aaand here it is. The "I'm not being productive and creative at all" blues.

#I better start working on that new AU already #I told myself I would do it this summer #no idea what kind of AU it's gonna be though but well #we shall see #I feel so damn useless like this #I should also keep writing my Bernard Black fanfiction #I miss writing and creating stuff but I don't feel motivated enough I guess and the weather doesn't help at all #I think I know why this is happening though #also I know that not being productive shouldn't make me feel like THIS but I cannot help it #I wanna create a new AU for Arthur and Eames :(#no #I NEED to do so #... which reminds me that I still didn't finish writing my AE fanfiction #*insert Lin-Manuel Miranda's 'c'mon brain think of things c'mon brain be so smart' video here*#I hate my brain right now #*sighs*#what the fuck am I even doing #eisy speaks

"Sure, I can fill you in." And with that, Zenkichi starts explaining the details and peculiarities of the case. People vanishing without rhyme or reason, showing up again in places they shouldn't have been able to reach, rambling about strange delusions and forgetting everything within a few days... well, some have reappeared, at least. There are still those who haven't, which is why the police is so worried to begin with.

The ramblings he's heard haven't sounded like people have wandered into a Jail, or anything that obvious, but there's something still a little familiar about the way they talk that makes him hesitant to dismiss them.

The explanation takes a while, but when he's done, Zenkichi shoots Naoto another question.

"So, any initial thoughts? I'm not gonna lie, it all feels a bit out of my pay grade." And he's in a pretty well-respected position.

@chibitantei ( continued from here! )

#ic #chibitantei #v. zenkichi; tag tbd.#ONE YEAR LATER. AND HERE I FINALLY AM. REPLYING TO THIS THREAD i am so sorry otl #if you'd prefer to drop it since it's been so long that's cool; i totally get it!#but i thought i'd go ahead and reply even if it's ridiculously late in case you were still interested #since i'm really enjoying this thread so far tbh!#i skipped a lot of zenkichi's briefing here since i am not smart or creative enough to figure out the details of a case #so apologies for that too; but i'm sure we can wing it lol #( if you want to plot anything though; i'm happy to do that too! )
