i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you
#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what#allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of#the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than#to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do#im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt#take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was#mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their#mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that#explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain#direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in#arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to#engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out#theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive#a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked#picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing#sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example#for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war#is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old#wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for#steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with#especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can#look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never#treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time#but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made#feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them#accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me#yapping#diary

it's so crazy how this is the first time louis live editing of his story is so blatant. daniel found and inconsistency and unraveled the whole thing. putting words in claudia's mouth, making her hesitate, almost saying what louis could never do, that she loved lestat
this aided by louis or armand cutting the pages out of her diary so louis can tell a neater story. what happened to claudia out there with killer? if louis is implying bruce raped her why not let HER tell the story anyway? or just plain don't imply anything in the first place. daniel saying in this episode that claudia seemed like she hated louis' guts and he couldn't abide that, just like he couldn't when she left too and wouldn't listen to him calling her in one of the s2 promo videos, daniel again mentions claudia was hating paris and it's implied louis didn't. i wonder if there are cut pages there too relating to armand or a more acute and specific unhappiness with louis that drives her to seek madeleine.
it's like in louis' mind claudia's troubles and unhappiness are all related to lestat, just like his. so they leave, louis "choses" her. but claudia is not happy because it wasn't all lestat, it was louis, it was her birth, it's her. louis can't find love again when she's unhappy. so he will try to tell a story where nothing went wrong and she was happy and he was happy and in love and where he didn't find guilty as he left her behind for armand. and that's not getting into the weird dynamic where he says claudia "let" him explore and find himself in paris!!
anyway it's a good sign in s2 louis seems to be more aware of claudia as a person rather than as words in a diary and that he's trying (?) to give back the pages and her missing life for a let's say....objective retelling of her story too
it's just UGH. the editing of claudia's life drives me so crazy sometimes. i mean, there is always going to be a subjective retelling of anyone featured in louis' narration, that is memory, how we perceive others is never how they perceive themselves or how they just are but there's a double editing in claudia because you've got louis and you've got her OWN diary, part of her self, that louis (or/and armand) ALSO cuts and pastes as he sees fit because he wants to "protect" her from.....WHAT? a fictional exploitation of her character that he is giving himself anyway by telling the story anyway? just hide the diaries. he wants to tell the truth. but only in his way. what does claudia has that louis finds so unpalatable? so miserable? a mirror of his own unhappiness etched in a little girl's face?
and i mean, it's not only that this is done, it's that claudia from the beginning is a character that is robbed of her agency. she's a child with a death mother, she should die, but then is stolen for louis to make a daughter out of her, so she becomes an eternal child. and it's worse when claudia is made to be 14 and in the cusp of womanhood! it's crueler! a 5 yo claudia doesn't know what it is to be a person, but 14 yo claudia does but never will. the point of her character is that she's constantly desperately seeking agency and freedomm to be able to make decisions on her own. and she never will, not even after death because louis is still part of her cage and decides how she will be, like her mean aunt did in life and lestat and louis did in her undead one
#no spoilers.....i wrote this yesterday rewatching episode 7#SPOILERS it's also vvv interesting there's a new question mark on the truthfulness of what claudia wrote. but then again it's the same as#louis' story#it's all their personal perception and never actual reality because truth is always impossible#it makes daniel's job more difficult in a way#but having more sources for sure helps any investigator. claudia. louis. armand. the photographs.#amc interview with the vampire#interview with the vampire#claudia de pointe du lac#claudia de lioncourt#claudia iwtv#louis de pointe du lac#claudia x louis#louis x claudia#this has been a post

really though as a generally really quiet kind of person who struggles expressing themselves a lot of the time i relate to jan wayyy too much
#there's the lanuage barrier for him too which must be extra difficult#but whenever it looks like he's almost zoning out in group interviews or he takes a little while to answer questions i'm like. girl me too#also it's nice when interviewers let him have that time to find his words without making it awkward or rushed <3#idk it's nice seeing someone you relate to with something like this still have a group of people who love him so much#if he's not broken maybe i'm not either yknow#social anxiety go brrr haha 😎

Hngngng my ADP apointment isn't thorough another fortnight but I just realised what a FANTATSIC birthday present thst getting sorted would be bc the first payout would be backdated *months*
#im not entirely sure how its calculated tho so idk how much ill hypothetically get#it seems to be based entirely on perdonal response and description of difficulties#which is SO refreshing but makes me question how much they'll actually offer even for the most debilitating of disabilities#when theoretically anyone could just go in and say oh nah yeah i can never do anything without assitence#perhaps having the interviews to verify documents is a part of that? idk#im autistic and desperately scrabbling at the poverty line man getting any additional funding would be a gamechanger#im. gradually coming around to the reality that we pretty much depend on fast food in order to est consistently#and thats okay. its a lil difficult for me to accept bc i was raised on takeout being a treat#but. like. this month has been easier in part bc we *can* afford takeout a couple times a week#even if its just grabbing breakfast from greggs or something#like sure we can both cook but. adhd time blindness#keeping the kitchen clean enough#having the fucking energy to prepare a meal after work??#i manage sometimes but its a major drain and alfie basically cant#so yeah no havint extra money to buy meals means we're actually eating every day lmao#a bag of chips is better than nothing

Keith talks about his journey with loss and grief in the wake of Charlie’s passing (2023)
#this is a whole new level of heartbreaking#you can tell it hurts him so much not to have been at Charlie’s last recording session#and not to have Charlie around at all anymore#the way he talks about their inside jokes and how he’s still having a ‘very difficult’ time more than two years later…#the rolling stones#charlie watts#keith richards#old married band#video#sound on#I also have to say#I hate the way this video is edited and some of the subtitles are bad#but I really like the interviewer#it’s pretty clear he’s an ESL speaker but he treats Keith with more sensitivity and asks better questions than most of the British and#American journalists I’ve seen#(although no one rivals that German one who asked Keith if ‘playing live got you over Charlie’s death?’ right after the 60th anniv. tour#that was a whole new level of awfulness)

Autumn 07: Interview (6/8)
“Umm, well, I call Sadie my stage girlfriend, which I guess is accurate. We’re sort of an item, but only on stage. And we never actually kiss.”
“Seeing how close you get, that must be very hard.”
Sadie (*chuckling*): “No comment.”
“If you’re not together, does that mean you’re both available?”

I like the contrast/unexpected fact of Izuku being sort of freaked out at media attention VS Katsuki really liking the idea of having media spotlight. But because of Izuku’s nerves and Katsuki’s too brash personality, they both end up just being kinda bad in front of a camera.
Funny thing about this is that popularly in the fanbase, people represent Katsuki as hating media and cameras and being in front of people and then Izuku overall enjoying the experience/being neutral. However, Katsuki likes to be admired, likes to be in the spotlight, hates being ignored, and commands attention.
#Midoriya izuku#bakugo katsuki#bnha#Im on season 5 now#i get that when he and todoroki are interviewed by that lady#Hes really difficult and prickly#But she opens w a question that sets him off#Hes not in control of it#And hes forced to share air time w another person: someone he sees as a rival#Whereas with mt lady’s exercise#Its like a scoop all about them#And of course#he eats that shit up

i have to ask. why do you not like clane crawford
you MISUNDERSTAND FUNDAMENTALLY
i do not know him as a person, so i can't like him Personally, but i enjoy mr crawford very much as an actor; i think he's very good at what he does and i appreciate the unique chaotic all-in energy he brings to his baffling filmography. i am enjoying his 500 dollar indie movie era and the SECOND that the integrity of joseph chambers (or, as my dad calls it, "the honour of jonathan whatshisname") Becomes Streamable i will be streaming it in whatever legal way i can. he has good hair. cool guy
the "i can't perceive this dude" vibes are just like.....like you know how you watch someone give an interview and they've obviously got a prepared, media-appropriate headspace they've slipped into + carefully curated established barrier between Real Self and Publicly Perceived Self? customer service persona? and they'll naturally curate their energy and the things they say to come across a certain way? they're prepared? they know what they're saying and doing and what they're trying to present to you?
mr crawford does not do this
mr crawford just says words. he just says words you cannot ask him about anything he will either sound like a cop who's just discovered the concept of introspection, a man who is actively counting down the seconds until he can exit the interview, or a normal fucking Guy who has completely forgotten that he's being recorded. it's too much i can't do it
like he is SO PASSIONATE about the things he talks about he is KNOWLEDGEABLE he LOVES MOVIES but also i cannot trust that he won't just toss a That's Altogether Too Much Raw Information bomb into the centre of the convo at the drop of a hat. he says so much and i don't need to learn the things he is saying, it's not that it's Bad information it's just that i would like to know less. don't tell me this <3
i like him tho i want the best for him i hope he stops doing nfts
#that's too many words but like#a friend kept sending me interviews of this guy like ''whats wrong with your guy'' and so i have discussed this issue previously at Length#he tells u too much abt him. if the question is ''what are some good movies'' you cannot start detailing like....#your clearest early childhood memories and your difficult relationship with your biological father and how like....#the guy who introduced you to movies was very kind except you didn't really think about the structure of the story you were telling until#you reached the end and now you're contemplating the inherent ingratitude of childhood and how little you appreciated or#processed the generosity of this person and also your story doesn't have an ending. don't do that to me. go tend cows#finchtalks

tbt the deh days baking motif interviews like it's time for will roland cooking v'logs while someone is there to pepper in q&a moments & conversation (&/or extended tangents) starters
#or difficult to say how general/extensive his cooking knowledge is but like 4 pts of evidence abt his Meat Heat technique nowadays#and joel crump's bwaytime interview where he builds a little dish spontaneously....tell us more#(he'd slice quarter inch strips of spam & saute them; have on a nicely crusted bread; add a sweet jam; maybe pickled/fermented onions)#maybe there's been an occasion between 2017/18 & now to learn/practice/hone a skill at home....maybe#tragically one Montage where he's sharing his bacon recipe instead cuts the clips around michael park's bacon recipe lmao#like ok noted 350F in an oven for 25min but will introduced the topic & is talking abt fresh cuts & presumed stoveTop cooking. please lol#summer stock grillmaster....& i think another occasion he mentioned his Skills here#also shoutout to that deh Movie baking virtual interview where nik dodani left in the middle to buy some butter#will roland#whatever will talks abt: a banger occasion. cherished deh nhie video where so little is about deh lmao#bits in either deh baking video like little abt deh b/c there was so little they could tell + Character Questions just generally so rare#the [having a bit of room & start sharing hc's for details of jellicle cats' sexuality] gift that we need more of fr keeps on giving#the classic cats tangents of anytime prior. appreciating the summer stock dancing going off like ah#just like will saying he was just fuming about Tepid Applause in the Big Theater for cats elaborate costumed mega dance break. word#talk about dry technical whatever like hell yes engaging & i love information. pool chlorination. what of the lighting knowhow#& the realest point here is oh boy keep scattering scraps of culinary knowledge in whatever random little moments; epic. jot that down#edit that i was like ''did i say sautee; that seems unnecessary. he probably said seared'' & indeed he said sear it on both sides#sounds great i'd want this spam bread jam pickled fermented onions situation. & the bacon of the unheard recipe

As someone who wants to go into journalism specifically focused on features/profiles, it irritates me to no end how actually good and engaging questions about a subject’s work (that they are currently promoting!!) will get sacrificed for a question that’s based around a meme/doesn’t have any real connection to their work and that they have heard repeatedly.
#like please ask thoughtful questions and engage with your subject#they’re most likely tired of answering this same question over and over again. get creative!!!#you can certainly use that thing as a springboard for a deeper more thoughtful question#I also feel bad knowing that these people do these junkets and are sitting in interviews back to back for most of the day#if I ever get to the point where I’m interviewing big people I never want to make them feel like they’ve wasted their time talking to me#for my job on campus I always thank them for taking time out of their schedule to talk to me even if it was only ten minutes#I also get that what’s being asked will depend on the type of publication but still you should have some good questions#it bores me to read the same thing over and over in difficult publications from different interviews#payton goes to: college

Look, it's probably just not possible for me to do any of those. Or to the extent I could do them I would probably completely and utterly burn out and have to quit. I've never held any of those jobs and there is good reason for that.
For sure waiter or other food service would not be doable. I actually tried to help out a friend at a food stall once and within an hour I fell apart had to just leave. Someone else had brought me but wasn't there, I just walked home, several miles.
Retail, perhaps I could do, at least for a time, if I didn't have to run a checkout line. I could not do checkout/cashier.
Call center/help desk is closest to something I have done, I have been tech support, but it was never call center, it was always onsite, and for internal. Yes people could call us, but it was more common to get stuff via the helpdesk web interface, email, or just people walking up. And while we might solve things over the phone or web/email, it was usually perfectly possible to go the the system having issues. And sometimes required, for hardware issues, or hardware upgrades, etc.
And that kind of tech work is very different and much much easier than a pure call center situation, and doubly so if it a call center for external customers. Internal customers there is usually a way to remote into people's machines even if you can't physically go to them. External customers, that is usually not possible. And while I *can* talk a user through just about anything, it is often vastly harder than if I can remotely or physically access the computer myself. The level of communication needed is extraordinary, and when it is verbal, it is immensely draining.
Things like server-side application support, and system admin are much better for me, I am better at setting things up, at maintenance, and at figuring out and fixing hard problems, than dealing with huge numbers of relatively simple problems like end user desktop usually is.
you cant move up and become a manager or anything either you will always be at the bottom most entry level position. however hours will be as typical for that position and you still get the 100k. basically i just want to know which of these jobs you’d be happiest doing if you didnt have to worry about anything outside of work lol
#That level of sustained human interaction is just not feasible for me#As a person on the autism spectrum#And the time crunch aspect of many of those when things get busy would break me by itself#I am not fast#And being under pressure to be fast just collapses me#Also frustrated by this question as I have been trying to get a job for ages now#Tech job markets are just really difficult now#And the whole application and interview process is a nightmare and a half

watching my coworkers fumble angry clients like hey. far be it from me to judge you if you want to pick a fight with that old guy.
#9 speaks#especially with these IT/customer support jobs the interview questions always include how you handle difficult customers#and like i always *say* 'oh it's not their fault <3 i try to hve understanding and that helps'#but the real answer is that my dad trained me to be able to take getting yelled at for 40 minutes with a straight face#so usually i just stay disgustingly cheerful until the client realizes being difficult will get them nowhere#and we either get the issue resolved or they quit the call out of frustration#but it's a strat that works bc i've only had like one client in 3 years who actually asked to speak to my manager

So I’ve posted on here at least in tags about how much I don’t like my job… and today I messaged back two recruiters on LinkedIn (shudder) that had reached out to me about different opportunities and it is scarrrryyyy. I haven’t even updated my resume yet. but I want out of public accounting and I have to start somewhere… so here’s to somewhere… and to getting brave enough to go after it for real.
#i dont know why this happens but as soon as i have the safety net of a job i already have and am good at#it’s nigh impossible to get myself to actually make a change even if the job i. have is making me miserable.#sure i’m good at it but they’re bleeding me dry and i just … i want to find a way to make it work like some of my coworkers seem to have don#but i’m so scared to talk to them about personal stuff like their feelings on working so much. like wtf. that’s so scary#am i even allowed to do that???#i get the sneaking suspicion i am actually supposed to do that#but god it’s one of my worst fears… asking a question only to find out that not knowing the answer already is a point of ridicule#or overstepping my bounds and earning scorn#which makes actually finding my place in this industry incredibly difficult because job descriptions and interviews can go well and all#but what companies actually want seem to be completely different past the year mark.#or is it just that i don’t know how to ask the right questions v#?^#i feel so timid and scared and weak about this stuff and it kills me#because i want to be fearless and unshakeable but i cannot fucking do this#simple thing… finding a different job… you’ll hear from everyone in the industry that accountants are needed#there’s jobs aplenty and you barely even have to look#and on top of that i’m competent and a quick learner and i have a great track record academically and professionally#and it’s all right on paper but i’m petrified of actually doing it and it’s the stupidest thing. why am i scared?#there’s a downside to achieving all the goals the ‘past you’ set. your gumption is spent and you’re afraid you might lose what you have#if you shoot for something different. something hopefully better.#age old tale right? i don’t know if it’ll really be better. i don’t know if i can do it.#courage… courage to try. that’s my next step. find the courage to try.
