#but thats not the task at hand

All the jokes about Ken and horses are good but I just wanna say it's such a good parallel to how actual young men get swept into misogyny and the patriarchy.

Like they're told to believe it means men get to be cool and manly and have this power but with that comes extremely rigid commands of what they can be as a man and a cycle of self hatred for never matching those gender roles perfectly. Patriarchy tells men that if they just do exactly what is expected of them, then they get all the "cool stuff" that comes with. That doesn't work though when there's only a small group that actually gets that power, but men will keep trying to fit into those roles in hopes that they can.

In the end there are no horses or the myth men are told, it's just endless cycles of self hatred and ingroup fighting.

my trials as possibly the one singular person who cares about the larger worldbuilding lore of the riordanverse is figuring out what the difference between harpies, sirens, and bird nymphs (from Artemis' retinue) are. what are the distinctions between these bird women.

onto the unreleased stuff. halloween was going to be "crisp air halloween". or "fresh air halloween". tbh i dont know which, because my files call it fresh air, but i thought we usually called it crisp air... basically, crank up the darkness, crank up the glowy bits, and cover the whole island in fog. i was given a moodboard and room direction by an admin. most of the island would be covered in cobbled paths, gas lanterns, and victorian architecture, but welcome room in particular was going to be a farm area with a dirt patch, full of crops and pumpkins that players would spawn in the midst of. there would be an abandoned, unenterable farmhouse on the left, with a bunch of spooky animations in the windows and such. the fountain has been drained and infested with spiders, and on the right was a barn, which would actually be quite cozy inside rather than spooky. i wasnt in charge of the lookout (second story of this building) but i put hay sticking out of the window because i wanted to suggest a cozy hay pile with a pillow fort up there

there was lots of rooms already done for this party, and they all look incredible. everyone working on rooms used those as style guides for how the rest of the rooms would look. if those end up getting posted later, ill edit this post with a link

I have finally FINALLY got up to the dream scene at the start of the last mabelcorn in kmky and everything is flowing nicely finally, and the scenes and characterisation all are smooth and make sense and I am no longer going over the same establishing scenes like a pedant trying to make them perfect. SUCCESS!

Just have to knock out these next few bits then it's onto unicorn beatdowns, funny hats, pizza parties and loophole heists!

When people write about AU's where Hawkeye did not join the military, they often have her be a school teacher or work in healthcare instead. I don't think I fully disagree. I can see it. She is caring and patient, especially with children, but she is also strict and efficient. Those are good traits for those jobs.

But on the other hand, those are very people-focused social jobs. And she is introverted and a bit socially weird. Fuery said during the flirting on the phone arc that listening in this is the most words he has ever heard her speak. She must be passable at teamwork since she is considered a good soldier, but generally, she's not very social. She also picked the lone sniper route for a career path, instead of becoming an army nurse from the start. When she is working as a sniper she's always alone, only communicating over radio.

Since she is skilled in fixing firearms she could perhaps have been a type of mechanic. I also love the idea of her growing up hunting, she could stick with that too as a job. And work comfortably alone... Who knows!

This winter (the season not the me) has been unseasonably and terrifyingly warm, like it's 10 degrees (Celsius sorry Americans) out today and I'm reminded of an article I read in the news a couple years ago about how Canada was baking at twice the rate as the rest of the world and go 👁️👄👁️. In my youth snow where I live would be probably a foot high in the lowest snow areas of snow drifts and up to my waist (in adult height) in the high parts, and every year I see less and less snow ☠️☠️☠️

On one hand despite my namesake I actually loathe the season winter, I'm extremely sensitive to the cold and getting brain freeze because the wind is blowing against the direction you're walking in sucks booty hole. But like NO snow is extremely bad. VERY bad. Do not like living out the consequences of climate change because uh. Canada just does not seem to have winters like it used to and hasn't in years. It's like watching all the corn crops stop growing like they used to because the summers are so much dryer and hotter with the exception of last summer, which was almost wet enough to kill the corn with that. But they survived and grew bushy like they used to and it was kind of terrifying to acknowledge I hadn't seen a crop that good in years.
