I did it. I finally found my middle name. I've been set on what I'll change my first and last name to for years now, but I was tossing around different middle names still, and it's been one of the things that's kept legally changing my name as not a priority. But I've finally connected to a middle name and I'm kinda itching to finally make it offical offical now. So think it's becoming more of a priority at long last.
#Maybe I'll finally do it next year#will have to see. Been waiting for all the formal forms surrounding like#fathers death inheritance stuff to process#but i wonder if it truly matters???#Not sure how tha works. May be like that I need to send the change of name docs to them as like a hey just so you know!#Is something ill have to do for a lot of legal things#Like centrelink and my bank accounts and rentals and so on hm#Its the other reason ive not done it yet but im more egar to figure ut out now so#If only I could find sone finacial help for it and like someone whos done it before and knows how it all works pft#Its alright. Not the first time ive had to figure stressful legal shit out on my own like this. And certainly wont be the last. Pft#aceofdragons

[ cw: death mention / sibling death mention / isolation / ]
Thinking about how Leo’s portal and teleportation powers have both directly (and in one instance, indirectly) been the cause of him being separated from his brothers at least four times now.
There’s that time in Portal Jacked, where his inexperience leads to his portal being messed with and his brothers ending up in Tahiti.
There’s the Bad Timeline, where Leo’s portaling led to them losing the Key, therefore indirectly leading to the apocalypse and in turn, ending with Leo being the last of his brothers alive (though just for a few minutes.)
There’s him teleporting him and Krang into the Prison Dimension, cutting him off from his family so wholly that the only way to fix this was a literal mystic miracle.
Then there’s the comic, where Leo’s powers act up again and make him lose months of time completely isolated from everyone and everything he knows.
Just, looking at all of this, it’s like the universe gave him the powers of distance on purpose to test him (and his bros), literally seeing if they can overcome unimaginable space and still make it back together. Imagine if it doesn’t stop here, and Leo has to learn to either deal with the occasional complete isolation or deal with time travelers coming back to stop some terrible event his powers (whether directly or indirectly) have caused, events that always lead to separation in some way, shape, or form.
It’s worth noting, too, that his portals often led to accidental separation, but his teleportation was the one power of his that was used to isolate himself on purpose…and was also the one that in any other scenario would have been the most permanent.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rottmnt headcanons#rise leo#rise comic spoilers#tmnt 40th anniversary#adding those last two just in case even though it’s been months lol#anyway hiiii I still think about Leo all the time and the Implications of his abilities#I truly do think their powers matter sooooo much to their characters frfr#and it’s very very interesting to me that Leo’s whole lineup has everything to do with space and distance#and he himself is constantly forced away from his family#no but imagine this happening all the time - like…his abilities almost PURPOSEFULLY causing his separation in some way#maybe as a test? to test his and his family’s bonds? their bonds are what ultimately power them after all#Leo in particular has lacking faith in himself and his powers despite his confidence in other areas#and I wonder if that comes through in his abilities#I love Leo getting better and better at his powers but the innate self isolating/self destructing nature of them never leaves#Leo: no I don’t wanna be vulnerable#His Powers: no? but what if *this*#Leo: w h y#Leo: actually what if I do it MYSELF *teleports himself into the Prison Dimension*#His Powers: 👍#Mikey: 👎 ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️ NO????#leos over the years isolating themselves for training and/or self punishment indirectly leading to rise leo being cursed#(also I’m still gone haha this just hit by brain and I’m too tired to not write it out lmao)

i saw this tweet and found it interesting for two reasons. one is that some people base how good cartoon network would be to toh by how it treated su, and despite the fact that su’s treatment by the network was considered poor at the time, now its thought to be exceptionally good in comparison to modern shows.
two is how exactly su got impacted by a limited budget. a common criticism is how characters like connie, peridot, and lapis are left out of missions. but balancing a lot of characters is not only hard but also costly (extra animation, extra voices—it’s been revealed that the show is limited to a set number of characters per episode otherwise they’re over budget). animation mistakes are not uncommon since retakes cost extra. the entire reason the original show got cut short was due to loss of funding!
#i don’t know if pay rates differ per networks#but a.ivi and s.urrashu have said that they needed to work outside of su in order to make sufficient funds#it only makes me wonder what other ways su suffered from a lower budget#that we as the audience never got to see#in the vein of the too-little characters complaint#another part of that is that low-stakes episodes should’ve been abt the main cast instead of the townies#like last one out of beach city and too short to ride vs restaurant wars and kiki’s pizza delivery service#i definitely see that especially since that isn’t budget related#nor would it seem to be network related (even if cn had an ‘episodic episodes’ quota it could still be abt the gems#(another side note: /would/ cn even have a requirement that the show make episodes that can be watched standalone?#this is a question for the people who were around when su was airing#what episodes often got rerun?#was it the townie eps or the lore eps?#for example i heard that su once did a ‘peridot event’ where they just reran peridot episodes#which had eps that skip around in the show#did they even care about airing the story so that it made sense anyways?#id get it if the low stakes townie episodes were the ones getting rerun))#but i have such a boring view on that which is i think it’s simply because the creators like townie eps#like in interviews r.ebecca s.ugar has said she’s the type to be really invested in background characters#answers in interviews have been crafted in ways to hide what’s really going on though tbf#prime example of this is rebecca and ian saying the wedding being interrupted was meant to follow the common trope#when later in the art book they said that it was bc cn rejected the ep bc it ‘wasn’t interesting enough’#both could simultaneously be true! it’s a psychology thing though where people make up nice-sounding explanations behind what they create#in retrospect because they want it to be thought out in such a nice way they believe in it#the bigger problem is that not matter how many episodes there are of them#it can be hard for ppl to be invested in the townies the same way they are invested in the main cast#i’m sure that a million writers have made surefire advice on how to get an audience to care about characters#but off the top of my head i think it’s because 1. most don’t have strong motivations to get truly invested in#(exception is ronaldo but people find him too annoying to care about him)#okay i had more points and explanations but i hit the tag limit and idk if anyone is actually reading this so bye

i hope dan meant it when he said he's drilling the message into his brain. i hope he knows how much he matters and how he is also so critically important and it's absolutely not just generic positivity. hope he realizes how many lives he has spectacularly and irrevocably changed for the better.
#the fact that you truly do need to explicitly hear you do matter and people would care if you werent there#especially when youve explicitly heard the opposite#and dan having first hand experience in that and now his life's mission is consciously telling people they matter.#fuck#im not kidding i am a wreck and ive seen this goddamn show 5 times it still hits#he's just. a really fucking wonderful person.#and has pulled so many wonderful people together#daniel howell

everyday i look at the hoyoverse fandom and go “wow… media literacy IS dead😃”
#nobu.nobu.chat#firefly isnt a waifubait simply bc the trailblazer showed up in her trailer for a second#she quite literally says one day i wish to live as firefly#she wants to be her own person she wants to be FIREFLY not SAM not GLAMOTHS IRON CAVALRY not STELLARON HUNTER#she wants to be FIREFLY and the first person to truly see her as that is us aka the trailblazer#the trailblazer is literally us a self insert it doesnt matter if its stelle or caelus its us the player#so its us who saw firefly as firefly and not as anyone else#topaz was looking at jade real funny#yeah wanna know why? bc shes being manipulated#why did u think numby hid behind topaz? bc pets can sense bad ppl#ppl are so quick to hate a character without seeing them first#jeez i wonder why… lets certainly hope it isnt bc jade is a villain and a well written one at that#and thats the main reason for villains to exist🙄#villains are there to be hated to be questioned to be against#especially when they are written well AKA jade in this case#not every villain/antagonist is supposed to have a sad sob backstory or to be relatable or to be simpable#theres a reason why we hated characters like gaston the evil stepmother when growing up#its bc they were written as a villain so well#and u can hate/dislike a character while enjoying the way the writers worked for it to be perceived such way

Soooooo funny to see anyone call sanji a feminist even in a joke post. Like my friend he does not believe women are equal. He believes they are better than men, who are nothing but dogs. He's a misandrist.
#he fetishes women and puts them on a pedestal before he even knows them. but all men have to prove their worth.#him and nami handshake meme: only women matter🤝#it's so funny how nami does basically the same thing but in a very healthy non-fetishizing non-creepy chill way. right next to him.#she is completely capable of loving and hating women on basis of actual actions and personality.#SHE IS BIASED TOWARDS THEM IMMEDIATELY. but only in a Life Is Tough For Women (And I Love Them) kind of way and not a.#they must be this wonderful angel who is as beautiful inside as she is outside and if she isn't that's okay<3 we'll marry this spring#kind of way. god. they are so. wow#sanji#nami#one piece#my posts#i truly do not know how she stands him pour one out for our bravest soldier nami d. gay

(transcript by @violentandmagnificent)
It’s quiet here, living in your head. It’s quiet here, and when I talk, you listen, at least when you can hear me, which isn’t always. It isn’t always, but it’s better than never. It’s quiet here, living on this ship. It’s quiet here, and I remember when it was loud, I remember different voices bouncing in these halls, I remember old arguments, I remember myself. I wonder how much I can tell you; because I can tell you; I have much to say. But you never saw me astride the Prophet’s Path, beside the Resin Heart, imparting wrath and play. So who am I? You only know what they’ve told you. So who am I? You only know what’s written down. So who am I? You only know what’s on recordings, and according to the world, I’m a hypocrite, or drowned. I doubt you can hear me, but I know that she can. So pardon my frustration, I’m just tired of her plan. I lost my life long before I understood, before metaphor became real, before I felt the wheel’s wood. I wonder what she’ll tell you. I wonder what she’ll share. I wonder what she’ll ask of you, what task of sweat and prayer. I long to sweat and pray, a body in the day. The color of the sun. The touch, the ocean's spray. The last thing that I felt in life. (The first thing that I felt in life.) The touch, the ocean's spray. I hope she tells the truth to you. (I hope she tells the worst to you.) The touch, the ocean's spray. I loved her like she told me to. (I left her like she told me to.) The touch, the ocean's spray. We’re running out of time, you know? (She’s running out of time, you know?) The touch, the ocean's spray. I fear we might be mirrored, two echoes of a call shouted between two queens, two queens who want it all. I fear we might be symmetry, I fear we might be one. Make her tell the truth to you before we come undone.

#palisade#palisade spoilers#gur sevraq#i checked and i dont think anyones uploaded this one yet?#still havent listened to the episode proper btw.#possibly unwise to post this since i might see spoilers in the tags but whateverrrrrr gur sevraq.#i have an animatic rattling around in my head & like. im not doing that. but oooohhh#friends at the table#is it ocean spray or ocean's spray? it doesnt really matter truly but the s sound is so sharp to me... hrm.#thank you to ellis violentandmagnicifent again. i messed around w the linebreaks a bit but its hard...#its this weird balance between 'this is what it sounds like to me' vs 'but it looks strange (?!??)'#i really like the one at 'I wonder how much I can tell you; because '. thats a really good one. leaving it as is#it hits both (looks cool + captures the intonation used)#tbh this is also making my fingers itch to write it out how i did it on my long road to palisade intro comic#like. in a fun way.#long post

it must be sad to be someone who can't find and doesn't want to look for the meaning in anything. thinking art is boring, thinking the long, drawn-out semi-abstract explanations musicians and artists give before they show their work is meaningless fake bullshit. it must be such a dull world to live in where one doesn't obsessively examine every word, every note from a work you love to find the beauty and the message and meaning and purpose in every grain of sand that gives it form. how sad.
#bluebird.txt#yes this is a vaguepost no it's not about anyone here at all#but like. curtains are just blue type bitches how does it feel for the world to be so sad and empty?#im out here overanalyzing every word out of a children's movie and finding even the most obvious perhaps of meanings in a certain note#or repeated motif#and it makes everything look wonderful#adds to my appreciation for it for the detail no matter how small or seemingly inconsequential#everything is a choice and some people don't understand that#when art is good it's all about intention#speaking as someone who's working on their art (music) and learning how to make those choices#and even that there are choices i can make bc sometimes im like woah i didn't know i could do that!#and those choices make such a huge difference those tiny choices#anytime you watch something even if the author or composer or whoever didnt think much of a certain choice#they still made it and it still makes it different than it would've been if they'd chosen a different word/chord/color#the world and art can be beautiful. why would you choose to see it so boringly???#truly it boggles the mind#violaposting#this is why i like theory

Every day I am haunted by the fact JJK could be amazing but it will be just idk Bleach or something
#I've seen a lot of people complaining about the fact that it's impossible to fit the ending of every unfinished arc#in the five chapters that remain for the manga to end for good#And it all just... legitimises my fear and apprehension haha#And it's a pity! It's a pity! The dynamics were so good! And yet nothing! Sukuna was so good! And yet nothing!#It was so nice how he seemed to play with the idea of transcending human categories and values but even the values of curses so to speak#Well beyond everything. Well beyond positive/creative nihilism even! He was not like Mahito#I wonder if Mahito is more a negative nihilism with a funny edge or a positive nihilism. For now it seems positive#with how he seems to have said something like 'nothing matters so we can do whatever we want and create what matters'#But Sukuna transcends all that! It could have been interesting to see how that developed in a way that wasn't just childish edginess#But no. And then there's all the idea of curses and sorcerers not being all that different#and so not really entirely possible to say one side is good and the other bad#There was the idea of the very source of powers with fear and love playing a role here in such a juicy way#And then there's the entire thing happening with Gojo as a concept and the very concepts he plays with which I could eat like an apple#but also I would let those very concepts eat at my heart as a worm inside an apple#Full of holes and rotting inside out and yet delighting at the sweetness#It could all be so good! And yet! Most of the manga is a few sketched dynamics and concepts and a very long fight with Sukuna#promising half finished arcs#WHY it could have been so good. And I don't think criticism is a matter of 'fans being spoiled! Go write your story!' or something#It's not a matter of things not going as fans would want them to be. It's a matter of not writing well#or cohesively things established by the author themselves. And I think that's a fair criticism#If we are to take manga as an art‚ which I wholeheartedly support‚#then we can subject mangas to artistic or literary or whatever you want to call it analysis. There are works that are better constructed#than others‚ and there are works that have good ideas but poor execution. And it's always a pity#In the case of JJK it's truly breaking my heart and the comments I see around about these five last chapters are not helping xD#God it could be so good. So good. And I'm not talking about in specific to me‚ which yes that too given the topics‚#but just so good in general. It could be so good. It could have been so good#And yet it's starting to look more and more like any other shonen. It truly breaks my heart haha#I talk too much#Jujutsu Kaisen#I used Bleach because I think that's one of the mangas that has been the most a let down to the friends I have who like shonen

dear everyone,
a while ago, i hit 1.5k followers on this blog.... i didn't want to get too sappy but i really wanted to write something, so:
the fact that over one and a half thousand individuals follow me is truly insane and too much for my little brain to grasp. i want you to know that i'm so extremely thankful for each and every single one of you and this makes me so so so happy. this is way more than i ever had expected when creating this blog.
i made this account back in june purely for my own enjoyment; i created it mainly because i was disappointed in myself for having stopped writing, since writing has been such a big part of my life since forever. ever since i stopped writing about kpop, i had barely written anything at all... i made this account just for fun with no pressure and no expectations, and before i knew it, this blog turned into something so special for me. the blog, all of the people i've met through it and all of the moments we've shared, all mean the world to me.
honestly, i'm not sure what i would do right now if i didn't have this blog and this community. these last few months have been pretty rough for me, but i've always been able to come back on here and gain a smile or some laughter. you've all helped me so much, even if unintentionally – every single interaction helps me push forward. i'm eternally grateful for every single like, comment, reblog and ask i've received on here, and your kind words really do mean the world to me. i don't know where i would be without you.
i hit 1k a while ago but didn't celebrate it properly, so i decided to make an 1k/1.5k-celly that i will be releasing soon (when i have more time to actually write)(hopefully at the start of december). please stay tuned!
and once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all so so so much. you truly are the best. 🧡🧡
#i never got near this much support on my old blogs (or wattpad accounts for that matter)#my most liked fic on my kpop blog had a little over 300 likes#and now my most liked fic here has over 3k notes#its all so insane to me#i'm so incredibly thankful for this community#i truly do not know how i would've stayed sane if i didnt have you all and this all#the support and sweet words i've been receiving is so so kind and i'm so so thankful#i read through every reblog & comment & ask i get and they make always me feel so warm#i get so giggly and kick my feet even at someone writing like “this was alright” in the tags of a reblog#i have a photo album saved for my fave tags & comments for when i feel down :((( gives me so much happiness#i love every person who's ever even shot a glance at my blog#hope everyone has a wonderful day 🤍🤍#thank you again!!!! from the bottom of my heart

Oh hey I'm legitimately about to start crying over a middle-grade book. Ok.
#nevermoor#i speak#morrigan internally spiralling as she meets all these incredible people#thinking how she doesn't compare#thinking how they must all be thinking jupiter made a mistake in choosing her#and then the NEXT SENTENCE disputes it!#'how extraordinary!' 'i'm glad to know you... you must truly be somebody wonderful'#because how others see her ISN'T how she sees herself!#she sees herself as not enough. because she's never been enough.#and now there's this world full of strange and confusing people. jumping with umbrellas and leaving alpacas random places#and jupiter won't give her a straight answer about anything#and everyone is saying things she doesn't understand#but it doesn't matter because this entire world (except for the talking cat) is embracing her and saying#'darling darling girl. you ARE enough. you're more than enough. you're wonderful.'#*wails*

Giving credit to original posters, creators, artists, photographers, and sources matters.
It matters to the person who put in the time and effort to create the content. Whether it's finding that photo and editing it to make it stand out. Or downloading that video, editing it, coloring it, turning it into a gif, adding subtitles, etc. Regardless of what you do (job/student), I'm sure you too would not like it if someone else takes credit for your work.
It matters to people who want to know context. Was it said by a fan, your favourite's bestie, a reputable journalist? Published by a tabloid or the New York Times? From last week or last year? Is it an original, or did someone get photoshopped in for a meme?
It matters to people who may want to explore more content of that particular publication, so they will continue to publish top-notch articles. Or give kudos to a budding artist for their outstanding art work, potentially encouraging them to create more. Or compliment that photographer on capturing their fave in just the right light.
It matters, because even though it may take you an extra minute or so to add on that name or link, it is the right thing to do.
#i am aware we could do more like#pay for content we use#but giving credit is truly the bare minimum#and we all have those times when we are busy and forget to note the source#but we can try to make the effort 99% of the time#so much wonderful talent on this app#and other social media#who deserve to be acknowledged#and i know i am not the only one who spent hours gathering data#putting it into excel#creating a nice graph#with me crediting my data sources#only to then find it reposted on twitter 2 minutes later#without any credit whatsoever added#giving credit matters#cite your sources#not just applicable to f1mblr#but since that's the fandom i'm in#f1#formula 1#charles leclerc

Here's the thing about episode 11.
I hate that they finally brought other actual established Pabu characters in only to immediately put them in danger.
Whether or not we stick the season landing, I will be salty until the end of time about the complete halting of momentum brought on by eps 8-9.
I would have killed to see Omega and Crosshair's first meeting with the cadets and some of their relationship. More brothers? Regs?? Other Hemlock victims???
Some actual convo between Hunter and Shep (absolute e11 VIP) about their presence possibly endangering Pabu?
Omega meeting Lyana after so long apart and grappling with being older and losing her childhood and building up to the Lula in the Archium moment?
Seeing Crosshair's attempt to find some inner peace translate into his first cautious steps into embracing a community beyond just 'carried crates onto boat'?
#Apologies to the Fennec & Ventress fans I just really think they needed one joint ep tops#Tbb#The bad batch#tbb spoilers#The bad batch spoilers#Poe being saltier than Pabu#It. Never. Mattered. The empire was always going to be coming we did not need 2 episodes wondering why#Esp when ep 3 already gave the audience the answer and ep 10 reiterated it#The way “m-count” now makes my teeth grind#Alternatively we could have like stuck with the Rex & Echo side of the story#(LOL sorry can't keep a straight face at that one if they aren't building that into a new show I truly don't understand some story choices)
