#both quality and quantity

how do you feel about the rain?

"It drowns or minces you to death if you stay out for too long... 0/10, terrible. At least I made it here in time..."

[jamiemaybeme]

made this in like year 8 (seventh grade i believe? around 12/13 years old) and it kinda slaps

BUT TELL ME WHY I CAN'T LOOK A SINGLE THING WITHOUT THINKING OF AZIRAPHALE AND CROWLEY. THE BRAINROT IS BRAINROTTING. IT WON'T STOP. SOON IT WILL BE COMPLETELY DECAYED. SEND HELP. QUICKLY, BEFORE IT GETS TOO LATE.

I don't know. I'm a Cloti; but I'm starting to believe that clerith won. Even if they make Cloti and Clerith canon in both scenarios and even if Cloti is statistically more popular worldwide, Clerith won the story and the romance and the focus. They got more romantic focus in the first game, second game, and in the AC movie. Even Nomura emphasized that it's up to the player but he thinks Cloud would be happier with Aerith(relationships wise)in that one interview after AC(Although he already clarified that he only said this because he would choose Aerith himself and later backtracked and then said he thinks Tifa is more suitable for Cloud. He probably said this cause of backlash). Even if Nojima, the writer of the game shows favoritism towards Tifa and CloTi so many devs show preference for Clerith happening in the game. The director, the Japanese fanbase, the animators, the composer, the editing team, the game developers, even the flipping translators, they ALL prefer Clerith and Aerith. So regardless of what Nojima prefers or wants(as he has written in his novels) it seems that everyone is against him and he will have no choice but to create a scenario where it looks like everyone wins, but also a scenario where Clerith gets the most focus. Thus, regardless of his intentions and his preferences, what would ultimately be factual is Clerith having the most spotlight and relevance within the story, and this is why regardless of everyone being canon in part 3, only Clerith will actually win because they are the ones who have, BOTH, the quality AND the quantity.

How many crafting hobbies ya got so far?

it's honestly easier to list the things I don't do (yet), which are uhhhhh metalworking or yarnmaking. what else. I have never made a shoe. Pre-COVID I used to volunteer at an art center thingy that let me take 4 free classes a year... I miss her.

I tend to cycle through which craft I'm doing the most depending on my current project, but my most active arts & crafts hobbies rn are:

Cosplay (big umbrella hobby! clay sculpting, foam stuff, painting, propmaking, sewing, wig stuff, photography/photo editing etc)

Sewing (normal clothing, mending/alterations, and also silly little guys/plush)

Bookbinding (and also typesetting)

Leatherworking (newest hobby! shoutout to the nice worker at the craft store who gave me a ton of scraps for FREE)

Doodling/drawing/painting

I have a ton of other hobbies I've done in the past but don't do rn due to lacking equipment/supplies/studio access (pottery and woodworking are the biggest, I've also dabbled in flameworking, flat glassworking, screenprinting, printmaking all of which require studio space I just don't have access to rn).

Then of course there is the purgatory graveyard of hobbies that I have lost interest in but sort of keep all the supplies around for bc maybe inspiration will strike someday or I can repurpose the supplies for something else (crochet, knitting, cross stitch, embroidery, felting, whittling, shrinky dink earrings), and also all the other random crafty things I've done once or twice but unsure if I can qualify it as an actual hobby (like papercraft and model making). Probably forgetting stuff but yeah

I am not necessarily good at all of these hobbies but doing art is sort of the same as being alive for me so that's kind of not the point. My biggest wishlist crafting hobby is shoemaking, because all the startup/materials and class costs for that are just really high. I REALLY want to make my own boots someday..... I think that would be a really fun and also hot thing for me to do.

Always funny when folks say "rwby isn't bad - look at how many seasons it has!" as if The Big Bang Theory didn't almost outlast the sun

Recently I was talking to another med student and shared that before my grandmother died, her heart failure had gotten so bad that her doctors couldn’t effectively diurese her and she ended up needing several thoracenteses. The other med student suggested that these procedures were too aggressive and my grandmother’s doctors should have let her die instead. And I’m confused, because these procedures were very much palliative in nature: it is painful to have a pleural effusion preventing you from breathing well. She needed surgery to address the valve issues causing her heart failure, but she was not a good candidate for surgery, so she had already foregone curative measures. Also, my grandmother did not want to die of a pleural effusion. I’m not saying her quality of life was good--it wasn’t--but she didn’t want to essentially drown to death. And I’m kind of upset at the notion that her doctors should have forced her to die that way. That’s not humanity, peace, or dignity in death. Maybe I’m misunderstanding something, but the conversation has left me unhappy.

Since loving James Lance as Trent Crimm I’ve been scouring his work on IMDB and as far as being type cast, apparently in the early 2000s all casting directors really looked at him and thought ‘yes, this man is a slut’ 😭

(Context: ‘Teachers’ season 3 and ‘Absolute Power’)

anyways if anyone remembers this post about how college students are citing Percy Jackson as their favorite I was having a conversation about my favorite movie that made me realize hey, there might be something else going on? my favorite movie, ever since I was a kid, is How To Train Your Dragon, which is, while an extremely good kids movie, still very much a movie made for children? Like, it's nowhere near the style and tone of my current favorite adult movie (The Batman), or even the best movie I've yet watched (Everything, Everywhere, All At Once), but it's my favorite, and it's been my favorite for fourteen years, give or take -- and it's stayed in that top slot because of those fourteen years.

I'd be willing to bet that the people saying Percy Jackson in response to the question "what's your favorite book?" are people who first read the series when they were, in fact, the target age (10-15-ish), and then it stayed their favorite book because it's been their favorite book for ten, twelve, fourteen years and even though they've read more adult and more complex and better-written books since then Percy Jackson has stayed nearest and dearest to their heart because they've loved it for so long.

Adding another tally mark to the list of people that have called me a Disney princess

It's actually kinda weird to be a music student when the only thing I know anything interesting about is music cause like. That's me I'm A Music Guy but then everyone else is also A Music Guy. You'd think I'd make fast friends in this environment but there's also the fact that I'm mainly interested in a sphere of music that isn't popular at all in this circle so everyone's exactly like me but also nothing like me at the same time😭🤌
