The worst part about reading in a genre where you have low expectations (in this case, Christian historical fiction) is that when a book impresses you, you have no idea if it's actually good or if you're just overly impressed because it was a fraction of a degree better than the usual garbage.
#basically lately anytime i read a christian fiction book that isn't romance-based i find myself surprised by the quality#i do think that some christian publishers are getting better#and trying to tell stories that dig deeper into real faith and messy issues#instead of making only vapid squeaky clean prayer-filled tropefests#but i'm not sure *how much* better#because anything above the low bar feels like great literature#the most recent is 'in a far-off land' by stephanie landsem#and let me tell you setting the prodigal son in 1930s hollywood is a genius concept#i have some issues with the history and the mystery#but the characters!#it has been a long time since i cried this hard over a book#several chapters of solid waterworks#(and i also have the issue of figuring out if it's actually that moving or if i'm just hormonal/sleep-deprived)#i keep thinking about this book but also i worry about recommending because what if it's actually terrible by normal book standards?#(also the author DOES NOT understand the seal of confession and i was SHOCKED to find that she's actually catholic)#but also looking at the reviews makes it clear that if most of christian fiction is vapid garbage it's these reviewers' fault#here you have something that's digging into sin and darkness and justice and mercy and these people are just#'how can it call itself christian fiction if it only mentions god at the end?'#are we reading the same book this WHOLE THING is about god! and humanity and our fallen nature and how this breaks relationships!#your pearl-clutching anytime someone tries to get even a tiny bit realistic is destroying this genre#i'm gonna run out of tags so i'll stop now

If I were thrust into a universe full of weird sapient aliens I would probably make them so uncomfortable. Hey dude what’s that thing on your head?! Oh my god are those symbiotes or your offspring or what?!? WHOA!!! WHAT is THAT thing!?!? (technically the answer is a retail worker who’s too tired for this)

Bruhmet Pasha- Dude, just CHILL.
While it is obviously impossible (YET) to outcompete Hurrem and Mahidevran at the "being your own worst enemy" game, HOT DAMN THIS MAN TRIES.
Besides being the biggest bigot in the palace (yet?) the guy is a constant source of fun at his own expenses because of a severe case of "just can't shut up."
One actually interesting thing about his character, btw, is how he reflects on Piri Pasha.
At this point, I'm convinced that the reason why Piri tolerates him constantly bad mouthing Ibrahim in his ears DURING THE FREAKING COUNCIL SESSIONS has to be that he actually shares his prejudice, and he's just too old, loyal, smart and attached to formality to act or talk on it, so basically letting Ahmet vent to him is an outlet.
Which makes it even more hilarious that Ahmet had NOT picked up on that and risked alienating the one person that tolerates his presence by mocking his son at the engagement party (btw lamest party ever, to the point that the Sultan himself was like "aight, this sucks, I'm changing party suckers").
I said this already, but the one sympathy factor he has is that it is unclear if Suleyman has yet picked up on his hate for Ibrahim, so it looks like he just gets bullied all the time for the wrong reasons.
Note, btw- Imho he would actually be the most handsome man on the cast (up to Episode 11 at least) on par with Matrakchi (bearded) if he didn't ruin it with his utter lack of class and constantly making himself the butt of the joke.

Oh. Sad
#the rhetoric and blame shifting is already bothering me btw#like ppl saying this has nothing to do with her policies like okay#the assumption everyone has that Green Party would automatically be democratic votes if they weren’t green is unreal#I have 0 opinion accelerationists tbh bc idek what the hell the intricacies of that are#the demographics#hate to say it but latinoes really did surprise me like wow guys. crazy work#the fl 60% amendment rule is insaaane#and tbh back to the Green Party thing the idea that they’re guaranteed democrats if under other circumstances is crazy#not just bc those numbers so far wouldn’t have gotten her any state#but bc the logic doesn’t hold up bc by that logic u should still be pissed at catering to right wing policies and ideals#her stance on immigration militarism fracking etc. bc she’s catering to ppl who would STILL be right wing#like the ppl who agree with her on these stances would rather see it on a white man#hate to say it but Girlboss feminism doesn’t work when you’re black#and everyone’s tip toeing around it but yes. as a black women you DO have to go harder and set more stances that align with ur voter base#bc for everyone who’ll show up for you being u in a country like this there’s twice the ppl who won’t just bc ur u#and ppl keep tryna say this isn’t about race like it kind of was. in the sense that everyone forgot that when ur black u do have to work#harder for half the credit - which is unfortunate and frustrating that bw don’t get to be vile and get rewarded but that’s what u account#for when running. like u can’t appeal to right wingers and their ideals bc their ideals and biases mean it was never gonna be you#uhm anyways this is like. are we choosing overt or covert racism for the next 4 years and apparently overt#and idk maybe I’m naive I thought this was gonna be an eye opener#that ppl would go back review the campaign see what went wrong have real convos on what we care about as a collective#but so far ppl are saying ppl who thought politicians should earn their vote need to be on the front lines and saying leftist ideals that#fell apart the second they tokenized one of us as the possible face of the imperial core#ig It’s like. are we bracing ourselves to set back until the next panic or are we finally gonna be motivated to haul ass#yknow hopefully in the end some of y’all see what we’ve been going through the entire time#also now that we can’t say at least they’re not trump anymore are we gonna break down Harris and bidens own transphobia and Zionism#or are they useless to discuss now after y’all propped them up as ur saviors for the last few months

Also I got my essay exam back today. Full points!!! Which was a surprise bc my 4th essay was definitely lower quality than the other three (bc I rushed it), but still good enough to get full points!!!!
Makes me wonder what that other one I spied being a 1 was like 🤔🤔🤔 bro was NOT good at writing I guess.
#speculation nation#weird grading scale. each essay was rated 0 thru 3. 0 being Real Bad or just plain wrong.#1 being Okay. 2 being Good. and 3 being Excellent. according to what my professor explained.#and all the points for all 4 essays were totaled. so since i got 3s on all 4 i got 12/12 points.#but he also said it's not like percentage based for the grades. 3s earn As 2s earn Bs and 1s earn Cs. presumably.#so even if u got a 4/12 thats not failing. still not very good tho.#i realized when i was writing that it really has been a while since ive done a proper essay. im a techie not a literature student.#i do scientific reports so much more than fucking Essays.#i tried to dust off the old skills tho and i guess i did pretty good overall. tho i wonder. it feels like he was pretty lax in grading.#bc im being honest my last essay was Not Good in structure. i was rushing bigtime. i just wanted it done.#but i guess bc i answered all the questions and was generally good at diction (creative writing Does help with this)#it was still good enough to be a 3. which makes me So Curious how bad that person did to get a 1......#i only caught a peek when i was grabbing mine. couldnt look too in depth.#ALSO THO tuesday's presenter got a 7.6 As Opposed To my 8.6!!! professor gave them a 7 (as opposed to my 8)#which makes me feel a little better about how i did. (this scale out of 9 lol). bc like. i did better than them at least!!#felt a lil bad for today's presenter. she was clearly getting kind of frazzled. it rly is hard to present for an hour.#we write out critiques for every presentation. stuff we liked and stuff we didnt. unfortunately i had criticisms to give 😔#but i try to sandwich it with good things too. so it's not All bad things. i still feel bad critiquing them#but such is the review expectations. i try to at least be fair about it.#(to clarify. grades arent announced to the class. i just sit right up front near where he puts the papers and im Nosy lol)

Finished the Clear Color RG Sazabi i got at SD Comic Con, hes absolutely beautiful. The RG Sazabi is a great kit (even if the shoulders are a little funky, as ive heard other people say, and with my own experience) And the clear plastic is a *little* brittle, but otherwise the kit is fantastic, absolutely beautiful and being able to see the innerframe is fantastic

To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods by: Molly X. Change
Published by: Random House Publication Date: 4/16/2024 Note: I’m aware that there is a discussion about 1 star reviews being considered bullying. That is not true. Now if someone leaves a bad faith 1 star review that doesn’t really critique the book and is just mean, that’s one thing. But genuine reviews with 1 star are not bullying. I also know this author has been sent death threats and was…

Queer film of the month #1: Boys don't cry
based on a true story which i didn't know until the credits. they also deadnamed brandon in the credits which is gross.
The movie felt insensitive and while it was made in the 1990s so i expected outdated language some of the language used was outdated even then and with the transphobia from the director this movie feels like a slap in the face to trans people :[
ooc: i think this was the worst movie to start this series with tbh
ooc: i wouldn't recommend it but if you do watch it: triggers warnings for rape,sexual assault, transphobia and violent hate crimes
#Abed's pride month reviews#ooc: i genuinely dont like this film or the people who made it fuck them#ooc: i tried my hardest not to be insensitive with the review while still being in character as this was based off of a real story but if#i was insensitive in any way pls tell and ill change it or delete the post !

my new layout rn is truly highlighting how the i'm just ken dance background is in trans colours
just look at how the background matches so well with the trans flag hell yea <3
#something something that post about how masculinity and femininity is both just a performance#and in a way ken was just performing masculinity based on what he saw in the real world#did he take it too far? for sure. but in the end it Was just a performance of masculinity (the toxic version but you know what i mean)#me when i watched the movie and a lot of reviews by men were absolute shit takes: YOU DONT FUCKING GET IT#anyways i didn't mean to go on a tangent in the tags whoops#the barbie movie#barbie#ken#im just ken

During my explorations of Actual Acclaimed Music before going back to my esoteric bullshit I decided to actually listen to a beatles album for once and I hate to break it to everybody but their seminal hit album 1965’s revolver is actually really good
#has ‘the Beatles were BAD actually’ era of new gen music posting ended yet like we can all be real now right like they were good#which ones you like as people or not#words of mine#WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE#listened to wish you were here too but Pink Floyd doesn’t get so much ‘they were ALL BAD’ discourse#as much as ‘is dark side of the moon bad’ discourse#which maybe idk I haven’t heard that one yet aldjfjdhdh#I’ve heard their terrible 1969 album ummagumma though! got around to that one somehow!#don’t recommend it!#I’ve heard Syd barretts the madcap laughs too…#I don’t recommend that one to normal people but I really like it#what was I talking about again#oh yeah I wonder how much current perception of the wall on the internet is based on the nostalgia critic review#and the subsequent dunking on of it#…probably a fair bit in a lot of places
