has anybody ever tried a "worm au where everybody has jojo's bizarred adventure stands" type thing? it seems kind of interesting.

I suppose it would be hard due to the overlap. The two main things about jojo stands are

that they are abilities that usually seem underwhelming on paper but are dangerous (and entertaining to read) when used creatively

that they are abilities that are meant to make some aspect of the character in question's personality Literal

You will notice that these things are like the major things about worm powers. A lot of worm powers could be stands and a lot of stands could be worm powers. Like, paisley park from jjba part 8 could have been some kind of luck power so easily. i'm kind of surprised that there isn't already a stand with coil's powers already.

but it does seem like a neat thought exercise.

huh, I've never actually taken a vacation in my 2 years of working. I took long weekends a couple of times, and a week once for a conference, but never a bunch of time just to chill. feel like I was saving leave for a time I'd actually have real plans or something. like, subconsciously. I never actually planned that out; I just never thought to take it.

but now I'm just chilling at home, and it's nice!

do music reviewers have some recency bias and that's why they rate so many albums highly or what

"You are sexy in the kind of way where I would listen to you talk about taxes, that's some boring shizz but I'd just love to hear your sexy voice.."

I could wake up next to you every day for the rest of my life and hear you talk about the most mundane stuffs and still be mesmerized by you - eUë

I kinda want to make a blog just for cartoons I like or am currently watching but I feel like I already have too many neglected blogs and I don't know all the history and trivia to make any compelling material for the blog that would make it worth a follow, it'd just be a bunch of reblogs of other people's fan art and photo sets just like all my other blogs once I lose interest in doing anything original.

Also, after watching a lot of shows with a friend over discord, i've come to realize i'm stupid as hell and have no eye for analyzing the media I consume. Like I don't recognize bad writing unless it's also boring to me personally.

That, and if I shove yet another one of my interests off into another side blog, what the hell am I going to put on my main anymore? I already banished video games and virtual pets, there's not much left.

Y'all, the things I do...

I'm currently trying to read a book written in the late 1700's about beekeeping. It is, by far, the most BORING thing I have ever read... and I've read some boring shit! Jesus, this thing is even more unnecessarily wordy than Tolkien (may he rest in peace), and not even close to half as entertaining!

I really wanted to get as much info as possible on how bees were kept back in the day, but... I may just throw in the towel and fake it. Bees are boring as fuck.

Here’s my take on the whole audio books vs. reading:

Oral tradition of storytelling predates written ones by millennias, and honestly, which one you like is just a personal preference.

The actual difference is

when listening, you have no idea how to write characters’ names

when reading, you have no idea how to pronounce characters’ names

hope this helps!

Sometimes I wish we would start calling out the performative radicalism on this site for the poser bullshit it is. "Remember, it's always morally correct to kill a cop!" "Don't forget to firebomb your local government office!" "Wow, it sure would be a shame if these instructions on how to make a molotov cocktail got spread around!"

Okay. But you're not killing cops or firebombing government offices. You are posting on a dying microblogging website to a carefully-curated echo chamber that has radicalized itself into thinking that taking the absolute most extreme position on any subject is praxis but that anyone discussing the most practical way to effect actual change is your sworn enemy. You do not have the street cred OR the activist cred to be talking about killing cops, babe.

I think an underrated angle on 2x05 is something that either Jacob or Assad said in some interview somewhere, which is that in that episode Louis is addicted to heroin. Thats why he has that whole stash of drugs that he gives to Daniel, that's why he gives Daniel the drugs even though he's already got him alone. He didn't just use those 128 boys for sex he was using them to get high. Bring them home, get them to shoot up, and then drain them to get that secondhand high.

It clarifies something that's always confused me about that scene, which is why Armand saves Daniel the first time. He wouldn't save Daniel as a person, he clearly knows Daniel needs to die, but he's not seeing Daniel as a person there. Daniel is just a substance. He rips him away from Louis to stop him from using.

And i think that adds a whole other layer to the fight he and Armand have to think that this is Louis on a bender, with Armand cleaning up after him because he's not stable enough to. Louis in the bed for a week isn't just healing from the burns, he's going through withdrawal. Him at the table with Daniel giving him the "bright young reporter" speech is probably the first time he's been sober in months.

It adds another layer to Armand's desperation, that Louis has been running from both Armand and himself in this way, and of course Armand wants to erase that memory. Of course he wants to pretend that that fight never happened. Not just to protect himself but in a way to protect Louis from having said those things. When he describes the fight to Louis afterwards, he says "you said the worst things you've ever said to me." And he doesn't really know how to forgive Louis for that so he just wants to bury this rock-bottom moment and move on like it never happened. After all, Louis was high, he didn't really mean it, but if he remembers then maybe he might think that he had a point. Better to wipe the whole experience away.
