my phone was like dying, on 15% battery, for the netball game and then it had just enough life to let me call an uber and then i was home and charged the phone around 9:30pm-ish???? and a voicemail only came through from my boss now????? she called at like 10:54pm on a saturday night????? "i suppose this can wait till monday but i'm thinking about it now" AT 10:54PM ON A SATURDAY NIGHT?????????
#you know what i was thinking about at 10:54pm last night???? probably nothing#i was probably asleep#or trying to get to sleep#i was sleeping in a village family motor inn in launceston on the ground floor with a communal balcony#as in the balcony seemed to stretch across all the cabins#i dunno#my brain was like 'look this is like the set up of like every horror movie/crime show' and i don't even watch crime shows#weird#like how do i know these things??????#anyway#i didn't hear my phone ring#but also maybe it didn't ring#oh right the other thing - i was stupidly standing in the rain waiting for an uber that was 7 minutes away#like me staring at my phone in the pouring rain watching an uber creep toward the silverdome#i meanis#so yeah between my phone dealing with low battery and getting waterlogged no wonder it was like NOPE CAN'T DEAL when my boss rang#and it was in another state as well#so the phone was like I GET TAKEN OVER A BODY OF WATER AND SPENT THE DAY SHOWING MAPS OF THE MOST CONFUSING CITY THAT HAS TWO COLES.#FORCED TO GOOGLE THE MOST RANDOM THINGS LIKE 160 BUS FARES#SOAKED IN THE POURING RAIN TRYING TO HOLD ON UNTIL THE UBER ARRIVES#yeah no wonder the phone didn't even alert me that my boss rang#it's too much#till now

i think it's so interesting how different book!yassen and tv!yassen are.
first off how book!yassen sent alex to scorpia, it was a mistake because he wasn't thinking clearly. tv!yassen did it on purpose (to the best of my knowledge).
book!yassen did not want alex to kill. he tells him this twice, “killing is for grown ups.” and asking alex if he can really pull the trigger and shoot him, when alex breaks into the boat during eagle strike. going into great detail to dissuade alex from doing it, and all of me believes not just because yassen didn't want to die in this moment. this makes sense for book!yassen because he himself didn't want to kill. so he's trying to save alex from his own fate.
tv!show yassen doesn't seem to have any issues with killing. he doesn't particularly enjoy it, but it's his job and he does what he has to do so he can survive. so he's okay with encouraging alex to do it. by telling him he should view the people he's assigned to assassinate as nothing more than targets. tricking him into helping assassinate max. encouraging him to let go of his emotions. he wants alex to join him by his side.
ultimately while their methods are different, their end goals are the same. they both want to protect alex. book!yassen thinks he can achieve this by pushing alex away, and tv!show yassen thinks he can achieve this by pulling alex in closer. and both work because they're so compelling.
#i didn't phrase this very sensibly but i hope the point comes across!!!#they both love alex very much and don't want to see him die#also worth noting. i can't see tv!show yassen putting alex in a bullfighting ring. for really any reason#alex rider#yassen gregorovich#alex rider tv#alex rider books#there was another thing i wanted to mention but its completely gone from my mind. if i remember maybe ill add it in a reblog.#they're the same character but they're different. i love them both dearly they mean a lot to me.

there's sang-woo and the kid he played with there's the twins from the orphanage there's og paik sa-eon and the fake one there's also the pretty boy secretary the main kidnapper and the homophobia guy feeling like i need to make a flowchart or something
#the chaebol grandpa was apparantly a psycho too#fake sa-eon has a living (for now) father???#if i leave my trust issues on the side for a bit sang-woo probably is just a normal guy who just wants to give bad vibes for drama reasons#can fake sa-eon and lee do-jae be the twins that was my guess until i saw that he at least had a guardian before he became sa-eon#if homophobia guy was the og sa-eon they would have made new sa-eon wear lenses but they didn't#the main kidnapper is probably the og sa-eon#who's also probably the kid sang-woo played with#or maybe sang-woo is the og sa-eon but he learnt to manage his anger and so not the main kidnapper#i am just saying anything atp#anyway i trust none of you#when the phone rings#kdrama

Tbh this is more me bitching about once again wasting money on a game I probably won't be able to finish due to cripple-itus but we're going to pretend it's a serious discussion on game design.
So to preface: my vision is fucked. Irrevocably. Like get discounts on insurance levels of fucked. But games, even very difficult ones still Often very doable and fun.
One of my favorite genres is "white dot goes on a combat platforming adventure" Ie metroidvania/soulslikes that either Are hollow knight or heavily inspired by hollow knight
And I just want to compare a Good white dot, against an extremely irritating white dot.
This is yi. He is an edgy cat boy. he is a good white dot.
No matter the amount of bullshit on screen or the background color, you can always quickly find the white dot that is Yi or his lil robe.
This Bo. They are a bad white dot. they look like they'd be a Good white dot, what with the really clear silhouette of their ears and strong red markings
This is Bo in the game.
Bo breaks the number 1 rule of being a white dot: they end up the same color as the background because neat light effects which do look Great, were more important than the ability to find you're guy while doing minute long don't touch the ground style parkour sessions.
Like Hollowknight and Nine Sols, Path of the teal lotus uses a lot of forground and back ground layers to create a very nice sense of depth. However the foreground layers frequently completely cover the lower half of Bo's body. often making them a light colored dot on a noisy light colored back ground.
The fact background and play ground elements are often the same color does not help. Nor does the fact the camera is . Bad. it just is. It zooms in and out in the middle of a screen making it extremely difficult to keep track of an already hard to follow character in a setting where. losing track of your guy means getting sent back to the beginning of a tedious boss fight or a prolonged parkour session (which to be clear, would be good if you could track your player character. not the bosses though. They are. bad. they need to attack faster, have more than 2 attacks, or at least have a fraction of the HP they do. so you're not just standing around waiting for them to decide to start up another attack to open a vulnerability window.)
And I'm just going to say it, Someone on the team knew the game had this issue. Because they gave you a fix that doesn't work. You can adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation. None of these fix the issue of Bo disappearing. The game is so blown out that no combination of settings produce a result where bo is consistently visible, and also you can tell whats background and what's something you can stand on.
Anyways Demos are an accessibility feature, and when they're not available don't be lazy like I was and just pirate it. If the devs aren't going to give you a way to check if their shit is busted or not, you'll just have to find one yourself.
Anyways anyways tldr absolutely Gorgeous game, Should've been a silent animated movie instead because it's nearly unplayable and the translators either did a Really bad job, or the writers just didn't get why the jokes they're copying were funny
#elden ring is also a 'white dot goes on an adventure' game. the white dot is just the auto targeting reticle instead of Scrimbly#My horrible son who i made as white dot adjacent as i could. He doesn't get to wear hats unles theyre funny or cat heads#im having trouble finding screenshots bc i Cant Find Bo in them and so don't know if bo just. isnt there.#its like wheres waldo. But its the player character.#i shouldn't be questioning whether or noth the Guy is there in a normal screeny of your game#idk maybe im over exaggerating#also potl is the first game ive ever played where on my first play through. before ive gotten to know all the movement and combat#ive wanted to be able to speed up the game. Like Celeste lets you turn the speed down? This needs the opposite. Extremely sluggish and it's#made worse because it slows down even more Constantly#near an edge near something you can pogo on near an enemy projectile you can do the Ori redirect thing with#near an enemy#when you're pogoing#it just feels bad man.#its not even Consistent#anyways play nine sols. Its really good#I like Ji. <Anyone who knows my vibe of character and also this game just rolled their eyes#Jiequan is cool too but im still mad they didn't draw his dick. iykyk

Kim rok soo has tinnitus
Krs!cale also has tinnitus
He's setting off bombs and causing explosions too much to not have it
I will die on this hill
Sometimes it gets so loud he has no idea what people are saying to him, and he does not care enough to make them repeat themselves
In the event that he DOES need to hear what they said:
Someone: blabalabkabalabla battle update blabalbakabakabla
Cale, his ears currently serving more useful as decoration: say that again??
Someone, thinking cale is focused, forming battle plans in his head and caring about the common people blablabla legend blabalbla young master silver shield blablablavla savior of all worlds: ah! Young master cale *about to fucking cry and repeats themselves through the tears*
Cale, thinking: what the fuck is wrong with this guy,,,
#lcf#cale henituse#trash of the counts family#kim rok soo#tcf novel#trash of the count's family#lout of the count’s family#tcf#krs!cale tinnitus believer#THIS MANS EARS HAVE NOT STOPPED RINGING SINCE HE WAS A KID!! I SWEAR#Maybe og cale also had tinnitus and that's why krs didn't notice the change#krs has never experienced pure silence#no wonder he wants to sleep all of the time#tinnitus sucks#i have tinnitus and i WILL project it onto him#ah my blorbo i love you so much please keep suffering

Today I want to share the joy that Reading A Newspaper has brought me recently (yesterday).
Because you see, it's not very often that I can read a several pages long good quality feature on a band that I'm something of a fan of, considering that until last year at best, all and any musical favourites I had were next to unheard of in the, let's call it, professional music business. And said feature also gave a few mentions to the one and only fav band of all time which I'm also still not used to being able to read about in my language (because it only happened like 5 times in total so far anyway, but still). And I can buy the newspaper in my local store in this minuscule town and find Sparks inside, like wow, it really is My Sparks, in this real life physical newspaper that I just got. This was like a belated but very epic christmas gift for me and I'm not kidding.
But well yeah getting to the point now, Franz Ferdinand are starting their tour soon promoting their upcoming new album and they're stopping in Poland too, so there was this whole 14-pages long overview of their whole career, and while I was obviously interested in the whole thing I was most hyped about the fact that there would have to be something about FFS and Sparks there and this brings me to my delighful observation that wow, all of this is so, connected in a way. Like how there are these connections in inspiration and collaborations between many of my favourites that I didn't even think about probably being a thing before, but when I think about it it just makes so much sense. Like how in this interview with Alex Kapranos, the interviewer brings up Talking Heads and specifically Fear of Music, because the new Franz Ferdinand album also has this sort of overarching theme of fear. And it's funny because that's the first Talking Heads album I've ever listened to and still my favourite from them to this day and overall one of my all-time favourite albums. And I guess it shouldn't be that shocking that it'd come up here because Talking Heads were super influential and inspired thousands, but also until now I didn't think about how both these bands share the general direction of creating dance-able type of rock with lyrics that are often on the more reflective and "intellectual" side. And also that album has been recommended to me as the most TMBG-like of theirs so. Wow I wonder why I like it.
Ok there were also all these other things that I want to mention too, so, other miscellaneous points of interest:
In the debut album review, the reviewer said that during Tell Her Tonight Alex sings a lot like Russell Mael, who likes to sing in falsetto. And well I know there's also the Sparks connection in the form of FFS to come later but still, this was such a great SPARKS MENTION!!!! moment for me anyway. But also they got one thing wrong, because it's not that Russell likes singing in falsetto, Ron forced him to sing in falsetto by writing all of his songs in this crazy uper range of notes, and that's a very important detail !!!!!!
And ok I had no idea that Piss Off already existed in some form as far back as 2004!! Or I knew about this and then I forgor. Either way, fascinating piece of information
I need to know more about how these star-based ranking systems work because why would you call FFS an "excellent album" and then rate it 4 stars. Instead of, I don't know, 4 and a half or 5 maybe?? Especially since it apparently has only 2 "weak songs". And I have some major objections when it comes to this too, because we're calling Things I Won't Get a weak track now?? It's just underrated as heck, and that's a hill that I will die on
Also I could never be a music reviewer because these people can fit their whole commentary on one song within one sentence and I feel like I would have to write at least 3 paragraphs on even the least exceptional of songs on a given album before I can feel like I did it justice. I mean, this whole post itself shows how much of a problem this is for me, lol
Also guys were we all aware that FFS turns 10 next yeah. Oh god. Well I need to remember to keep my tradition and preapre a cool piece of fanart for that occasion then. Maybe they should give us FFS 2 to celebrate, I'm pretty sure there'd be lots of interest among the fandom in something like that. Anyway
Well also this wasn't the only article in this whole thing of course and CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, there was a little bit on the Harrison & Belew Remain In Light Tour, which I will also be attending!!! Lots of great stuff is cooking for the first half of 2025 for me musically I can't lie
And also CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, that a year and a half since it was supposed to be released "worldwide" and long after I already lost hope that I'd ever see it in a cinema, they're releasing Stop Making Sense in cinemas over here too. Fucking finally!!! By gods and heavens, that rare moment when you learn about something crucial through a goddamn instagram ad of all places. And then they also reminded me about this in an actual article so well wow. Can you believe this. I can't. So stocked for next saturday when i'm seeing this movie the way it was always supposed to be seen hehehe
Ok I think that's it. Thank you for reading and maybe I should really make that personal website for my rambles in the new year. I'd definitely put that thing to use.
#god this post got away from me and grew in scope very fast. i mostly just wanted to say that it made my evening#to read and learn something very interesting about bands i like and realize that there are connections between them that i didn't see befor#and how all of that might have influenced me and my musical preferences without me having any idea about it?#and ok does this go under my long posts tag? well it definitely should#goose monologues#but well yeah some obligatory sidenotes in the tags now#all in all i must say that i'm REALLY hyped for the show now. i mean both of them. (franz & remain in light)#and i've been thinking about how the new album comes out on january 10th so. very soon. and the show is next month after that#and maybe it'd be a good idea to listen to the other albums before that. because i've only listened to 3 of them in full so far ooops#i mean it's not like they have that many albums anyway it's fine.#but also i confess that i didn't know any of the other band members names besides alex until i read this article#i mean i didn't even know who else is in the band at all so.#please forgive me for my ignorance. but well what better way is there to ring in the new year#than by blasting franz ferdinand? just like that one post said#wait i should be able to find that post actually just give me one moment

ok... so Lambert x Eve...
Eve and the two Blaiddyds
Lambert and the two Fierenes
The step-siblings
@blaiddydbrokeit and I were talking, and they have now sent me down the wonderful rabbit hole that is Eve and Lambert getting married and looking after their children.
#Dimi desperately needs a good mother figure (y'know rather than his idealised image of Patricia who never really loved him and didn't pay#attention to him no matter what he says to himself (you know only having that one memory of her where she was looking out the window and ig#ring him) and then tried to murder him adn his whole family) anyway#Eve would be good for Dimi#and Lambert and Alfred and Celine would get up to all sorts of shenanigans#but also Lambert might be able to help Celine understand and overcome her fear of other's deaths#Dimitri in particular would be able to understand that fear and sympathise with her#and alfred is just having a great time with a new brother and dad because everything is awesome all the time and his old dad would have lov#d his new dad and he tells alear all about it and she's like ooh!#anyway an adorable meet the step-dad step-brother situation for the couple (you know my alflear loving heart can never resist an opportunit#anyway#other tags were originally messaged to a pal when we discussed the idea but I thought they would work under the picutres too:#crack ship or not Lambert and eve are adorable in my brain#lambert egitte blaiddyd#queen Eve#fire emblem engage#fire emblem three houses#anyway maybe in a heroes universe or something; or dimi revives Lambert using some sort of magic and then Lambert and eve meet up in a Fodl#an and Elyos meet and greet sort of ball and they become friends and then they discuss being widowed and through a long series of meet ups#realise a political marriage between them both would be good for Fodlan and Fahrgus and good for Fierene and Elyos and they're also in love#anyway they both visit each other's spouses graves on the anniversary of death#like they would both really respect their partner's deceased spouses and not be jealous at all when the other gets upset and is like#I really miss them. Because they both get it

Literally we had to call the emergency services twice in two days! Jo fell down the stairs (they thankfully didn't have to go to hospital and they're recovering at home) but then this evening I went to open my bedroom door and... it just wouldn't open. The door handle mechanism was basically fucked and we had to call the fire service who, after trying to force the door for like 10 minutes, had to saw around my door handle!!
Like I just have a hole in my door where the handle used to be!! Apparently whoever installed the door handle did it wrong and my door was a ticking time bomb??? Yes I rent thanks for asking.
#The fire service were very nice and apologised for making a mess#We did try and ring the emergency maintenance number our letting agents gave us and it went to voicemail#They didn't ring back until after we called 999 and then got arsey with us bc we called the fire service#Like answer the phone maybe!#Also the fire service came within 10 minutes#How quickly can your handyman get here

cerrit "my friends call me pinch" argupnin. who gets called pinch once in the entire series. by his coworker. and not at ALL by any of his best friends.
makes me crazy.
#joanne talks#exu calamity#is there a good reason for it above the table? for sure. maybe they forgot. who knows.#is there a good reason for it in canon? absolutely! shit starts going down IMMEDIATELY and cerrit's relationship with the group frays#more than probably any other tie that binds. but THAT. THAT IS IT. and that's why it makes me crazy.#i have no doubt that the ring of brass all genuinely loved and respected each other. and were real friends. but none of them call him pinch#and he leaves#and it's just. it's such a stupid throwaway thing. it's a nickname! who cares! but i keep thinking about travis in the wrap up#saying how fucking TELLING it was that cerrit didn't call out nydas when he KNEW he was lying#it kills me#critrole#also if you saw this post on my sideblog no you didn't

i downloaded the free character creator for the veilguard but after reading so many reviews im like .... maybe i don't play this one actually
i rmr getting all the exclusive shit for DAI (like the big black box of physical items) and then being kinda really disappointed with the game itself ? and i just don't want to waste money on bioware and get burned again lol
still just chasing that dao / da2 high honestly. god i miss the character writing from da2 so bad.
#whiny baby post#idkidk it's on sale rn which also kind of makes me think it didn't get the reviews it was hoping for ???#and after they fired so many lead writers .... it seems like maybe if i hadn't played any other da games it could be alright#plus all i play now is elden ring and im DETERMINED to beat it and the dlc bc i did get that early for xmas

Did Thee remove Tanthai’s watch for him? And his rings? He placed them so carefully on the nightstand. And left Tanthai a glass of water. He just wants to take care of Tanthai and make sure he’s safe and happy. How many times has he had to do this? How many times has he driven a drunk Tanthai home? How many times has he carried Tanthai out of a bar? How many nights has he lost sleep, so he can keep watch outside Tanthai’s window all night? And Tanthai answers his call right away and looks almost concerned. And he doesn't want to worry him, so he doesn't mention his nightmare. There's so much love there 😭
#laws of attraction#laws of attraction the series#tanthai x thee#thee x tanthai#tanthai x methee#i'm reading this as romantic as possible#sure tanthai could've woken up when they got to the house#but unless shown otherwise#thee carried him from that car#and removed his shoes and watch and rings#and poured him a glass of water#and sure maybe tanthai didn't say anything about the nightmare because he didn't want to seem weak#but to me it's because he doesn't want thee to worry about him#also the lighting on thee and way his head is tilted up to look at tanthai's window looks so romantic to me#also also the statue on Tanthai's bed of a person with their head in their hand looking sad and defeated#very much fits tanthai#:(#and tanthai did look concerned to me when he picked up#i wonder if it's not normal for thee to call him in the middle of the night#like thee's crush is getting harder to control

Been a lot of big changes, things to plan for, scary things we've been worrying about re: the state of the world as of the last week or so, but
One really good thing has happened within that time:
Next March, we'll be signing the license and likely having a little ceremony at one of the first beaches Housemate ever took me to (bc we're keeping it small and chill; we don't need to pay for a venue lmao)! I'm so happy and excited 💚🧡!!!!!!!
#text and photo post#like. this is something i didn't think I'd get in life#someone i care abt so strongly and would kill and die for#who has patience for all of my baggage and wants to help and see me grow#(and i want to do the same for Housemate of course!)#my life has been so utterly beautifully wonderfully changed by coming out here#but it never would have happened had i not met Housemate on here & clicked so well#and created a strong and gorgeous friendship that's led us here#I'm marrying my best friend and the person i want with me to face anything we might go thru#bc it'll always be easier if we're getting thru it together#this is v sentimental and maybe silly but genuinely i am. the happiest I've been in my entire life#despite Everything ongoing there's this pocket of happiness and contentment and safety#and I'm so grateful for it and for everything i have#anyway my ring got here yesterday and i keep looking at it on my finger and getting all happy and giggly akdnfkgngn#it's a replica of an 18th century poesy ring and it's perfect bc it has little details that are important to me#that also remind me of Housemate#also the poem engraved on the inside is lovely and fits perfectly with everything
