There is no "other" or "I like both equally!" or "I don't watch anime/kdramas/anything in a language I don't understand/etc", pick one or leave

Some Erik sketches from this morning 😊
#phantom of the opera#the phantom of the opera#erik#poto#my art#I'm bored out of my mind and it's almost 40c degrees outside#I'm tempted to start playing BG3 but also I don't want to be consumed by a game atm#I realized I haven't played any games in uuhh over 8 months?#anyway here is this lovely noseless music snob

there is no moral value in reading fast and there's also no moral value in reading slowly. people who read slowly aren't automatically/necessarily reading more thoroughly and thoughtfully than people who read quickly, and at the same time reading is not a race. some people read fast because that's how their brains work; some people read slowly because that's how THEIR brains work. some fast readers are getting deep into analysis and close reading and some slow readers are just along for the ride and not thinking too hard. these are both equally valid and valuable ways of engaging with books
and nobody should shame anybody else for reading slowly but also if i see one more post that suggests people who read quickly only read meaningless garbage (your elitism is showing btw) and lack reading comprehension, i will start blocking people. it's just bullshit, and it's weird judgy bullshit at that. some people have jobs in books where reading hundreds of books a year is part of it. some people are academics. some people are bedridden or isolated and trust me you get through a lot of books when you're stuck in your room alone for days. and some people love the books you consider garbage and they're just having fun passing the time with light fiction that isn't too brain intensive and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that either, because reading can be a form of relaxation and doesn't always have to be an ~intellectual challenge~ to be worth doing, actually
#néide has opinions about books#get to fuck with judging other people for their reading habits in general#also i hate tiktok as much as the next person but when you blanket-trash all popular books as booktok garbage#I'm beginning to think you're just a snob#this was in my drafts so i don't remember what prompted it#but it's true

"You did not,"
Atsushi stops as he's pouring tea over his rice. He sees Ryuu standing in the doorway of his room, wearing one of his larger pajama shirts and long soft pants. He doesn't like too much of his skin exposed but Atsushi observes with a pleased feeling in his gut that the hickeys stand out on the visible part of his collar bones.
"I did not what?" Atsushi asks.
"You just used my new high brand sencha for that abominable bowl that you call food." Ryuu looks very put off.
"It's tea over rice. I need tea and all your tea is high end." Atsushi points out.
Ryuu frowns.
"It's what tea is for," Atsushi continues.
"This is grounds for divorce," Ryuu says.
Atsushi stares at him.
"We're not married," Atsushi says.
"We could have been," Ryuu says. "But now, no longer."
Atsushi is in love with him. He's going to marry this stupid man.
"Get over here and eat this abominable thing that isn't food with me," Atsushi laughs.
"I will not. You have most likely made it sloppily and incorrectly. I already know you did not make the tea correctly." Ryuu crosses his arms.
"Then you should teach me how to make it correctly," Atsushi suggests.
"Why should I learn how to make food, that I don't eat, for you?" Ryuu looks confused.
"You won't?" Atsushi pouts.
"Are you a child?" Ryuu scoffs.
"You're the one that picked me," Atsushi says and watches in delight as Ryuu starts to walk into the kitchen.
"And I wonder why every day," Ryuu says, taking the teapot from Atsushi's fingers. "I can tell you burnt the tea."
"Then I should make my partner make his perfect tea for me," Atsushi smiles.
"Shut up," Ryuu puts a finger to Atsushi's lips and lifts the lid of the teapot to smell the contents. "You are correct, I would rather make tea for you than have you burn perfectly good sencha."
"Are we getting married then?" Atsushi teases.
"I'm not marrying someone who can't make decent tea," Ryuu sniffs.
"I'll have to learn then," Atsushi smiles.

Obi-Wan watching with morbid fascination as Cody puts a mug of water in the space microwave.
Obi-Wan: ...What are you doing?
Cody: I'm making tea?
Obi-Wan: Oh, dear... Do you know what temperature the water is?
Cody: Um...hot?
Obi-Wan: Oh, darling, no...
#star wars clone wars#codywan#obi-wan kenobi#commander cody#i can only imagine that obi is a loose leaf tea snob who would rather drink caf to poorly prepared tea#of course he's not judging cody for not knowing better. how could he? instant caf is the same quality no matter how you prepare it#but obi is at his best when patiently teaching and cody is an always eager student. as are all the clones i expect#starved for cultural experiences and knowledge as they surely are#obi holding a meditative tea ceremony class for his men seems like a lovely idea#where the preparation process is almost the focus and is meant to be a form of meditation in itself#okay I'm just rambling now

Maxo: I haven't received an answer. Is there no one else on the island? Is it only us and The Federation?
How are we going to find answers about this mysterious island? This island, with a challenging but beautiful landscape, has pushed us to find out what hides in its depths.
With each sunrise our hopes to find life signs beyond our little community vanish... leaving a void in our souls. This is the story of people obligated to stay on an island looking for answers and a path or the truth... in the midst of an enigma that seems endless.
As days pass by, our courage and determination are being tested by the challenges of the island revealing secrets that threaten our view of reality.
The members of the Federation, an enigmatic and almighty organization, seem to be the only ones who possess any information about this place.
But their intentions and loyalty-
[Subscriber TTS plays]
Silence!
But their intentions and loyalty are questionable. Will they guide us to the truth? Or will they guide us further into the abyss of the unknown?
#AgenteMaxo#Maximus#QSMP#QSMP Federation#MAN. MANNNNNN. MAXIMUS IS SO FRICKIN COOL YOU GUYS.#Fell in love with his character during KarmaIand and haven't looked back since. Man's got such a great understanding of storytelling#also his voice ROCKS#when he did Sapo Peta I was like ''IS THAT HIS REAL VOICE??''#then I heard his usual voice and I was like wtf that is. it's just a little bit deeper for Sapo Peta#wild#Anyways. This is a Maximus appreciation post#I did not translate nor subtitle this I yoinked this directly from the QSMP official updates account#but no one talks about Maximus on here so I'm rolling up my sleeves and doing my part#Not to sound like a Snob BUT-#[proceeds to sound like a snob]#I'm very picky about subtitles because some can be very hard to read#and one of the subtitling styles the updates accounts has been using sucks#it's way too bouncy for me#and distracting#they've dialed it down in recent weeks which I really appreciate#but I think this is my favorite format they've used thus-far#Thank you QSMP editors and updates accounts I owe you my life o7

i was gonna be brave and watch every single alien movie in this rewatch experience, but i have remembered that i'm not brave enough to watch avp: requiem again so i will not be doing that.
#i will not be doing that because it's stupid.#i don't.... actually remember resurrection or covenant so there's a chance i simply did not watch those#an experience!!!#i'm watching them in order which means that there are so many movies i care less about in between alien and avp.#we all bear our burdens or something idk#my opinions of the value of the films in the alien franchise are 'did i have fun' btw i'm not allowed to be a snob abt it

I'm reading a mediocre, rather melodramatic novel from the 1880s--family scandals, secret heirs, all that sort of thing. There's two cousins, Georgina and Lucy. Georgina is married, Lucy isn't; Lucy gets pregnant, and they pass off the baby as Georgina's, to everyone, even her husband (he was out of the country). They name him Lucius. Later Georgina has a child of her own. They name him George. I don't think these people are very good at keeping secrets.
#and this is exactly why I'm reading mediocre novels from the 1880s#I can easily see how to improve them. this is not Beetle levels of bad but it's bad in several important ways (artistic and moral)#the only character I care much about so far is a female Jewish painter who was introduced for two lines for the purpose of being sneered at#and what I want for her is to be in a different book by somebody else (she cannot even meaningfully be said to be in this one tbh)#I take that back. I care about Lucy a bit#she's being written as a Bad Woman but none of the good women have much personality#...she's pretty much Dracula Adaptations Lucy tbh. except with no vampires. at least not yet#she's an appalling snob - awful to servants - and I *think* this is being criticized but it's not quite clear

Headcanon: Daniil has a good singing voice. He's taken lessons, too. He's a tenor.
#pathologic#daniil dankovsky#he's also a total snob about it too#like you know that one Aristocats clip where Marie is on top of the piano saying “I'm ready Maestro”?#yeah that's him in the theater every time

This is going to sound so stupid but I only today realised that a significant number of people like....look down on retail & service industry work.
#Nothing like happened i'm just listening to Debt by David Graeber & thinking about things#Remembering when my coworkers wife was working in a cafe while she finished her masters#And I was like - ah I like that cafe! Does she like the work?#& he scathingly said#'well. its cafe work'#I feel stupid! This should be obvious!! I know people treat service industry workers like shit!#I guess my mammy - who raised me on her wages from 5 jobs at a time including everything from#Cross border peace development work to cleaning bedrooms in a b&b -#Simply did too good a job teaching me that any job worth doing is worth doing well. Has inherent dignity. Etc.#Also I have many friends who prefer being baristas to like. High paid lab work#Also i'm from a rural area where farm work is considered the Real Work& everything else is just filling in the gaps#And I grew up surrounded by teachers & civil servants & nurses who would pull a few shifts at a bar or hotel to make ends meet#So. I never really computed that some of this work is considered lesser.#tthat the people who do it are consdjered lesser by some.#And not just by outrageous snobs. By like. Average ppl with jobs that they can sit down in#This is blowing my mind I need a minute#Me Fein

You're an incredible fic writer and I wish I could write you something that you would enjoy.
Thank you!
Here's the thing. Write. Write write write, and then write some more. Every reader is going to enjoy different things. I will admit I'm a fucking snob when it comes to style, so even a lot of published stuff gets five paragraphs out of me before I decide whether to keep going. But writing is a muscle you can hone however you want. You wanna be verbose and dig into details? Lift some weight reading prose you enjoy. Are you aiming for brevity? Read some lyrics, some poetry, dig in there and really see what parts stand out to you that make 20 words feel like a novel.
Write shit that makes you so incandescently angry you title it GARBAGE HEAP DO NOT LOOK. (In five years go back to it and see how much is salvageable)
Write something that makes you weep, or laugh, or even just smile to yourself because you know, you KNOW it's gonna hit someone right in the solar plexus.
Use your own hobbies as jumping off points. Use your interests as heavy handed metaphor.
All I can say for sure is if you wanna write, you gotta... actually write. Sometimes I heed this advice myself, sometimes not. Sometimes I think something in particular is gonna hit and it doesn't. Sometimes I do something I don't even realize that has people pounding on my metaphorical door to yell at me.
Write for you, first and foremost, and then go from there.
♥️
tell me something on anon you'd never say off anon
#i know i'm a goddamn snob about anything i read#i'm blaming it on my stupid third grade teacher telling my mother i read at a college level#and my mother for taking that as the go ahead to just let me pick whatever book from the library caught my fancy#librarians looked at eleven year old me with my stack of goosebumps/james patterson/steven king and just scanned
