doodled your little guys!!! I have so many thoughts about them. As someone who lives in Italy it has been absolutely wonderful seeing your characters express the country's culture and history!!! It's not often that I see characters be based off Italian history in such an artistic manner.. But that might be me living under a rock, LOL. Anyhow, keep doing what you do, YOU ROCK!!!!
.
#aaa you're too sweet! ;_;#and the art!!#I don't know what you did but I love the way they look in your style#they seem so expressive and alive and your linework has such wonderful almost animated fluidity to it#that swooping line from the tip of Machete's ear to his cheek fluff? such a shape#their faces are priceless#Vasco's little blep and Machete's blush and squiggly mouth#thank you so much! you've warmed my heart#gift art#limelemonchi#Vasco#Machete#own characters#it genuinely means a lot to me when someone from Italy says they like my dogs#I'm Finnish so I'm never going to have the insider experience and the full picture of someone who lives there#and sometimes it really worries me like what if I get things wrong and I'm not only embarrassing myself#but also disappointing people who thought I do my research well#but I'm doing my best and I always welcome feedback and tips to make the setting more believable if you want to give them#whether it's the original canon or the modern au#I mean it when I say the history and culture of Italy are extraordinarily rich and interesting#I've been reading about them long before these two came to be#it's a meeting spot for many of my special interests some of which I've had since I was a preschooler

Do you think that Snape, after being yelled at by McGonagall for showing her attitude and somehow the fight escalating to their past when Snape was a child, and told that if he was actually traumatised by her actions, he'd be afraid of her, not rude to her, would lock himself in his room and cry, cry, cry, because despite the fact that he fought back and screamed that he IS traumatised, that she DID hurt him by not being there, that she IS responsible for him being this way, he isn't sure? Because every single person around him tells him that he's the problem. That he's rude. That it's his fault the other party was offended. Even though he didn't mean to be rude, he was just being him, but surely he's the problem if everyone's saying it? Or maybe he's surrounded by the wrong people? Or maybe he is wrong, and he is a horrible person, he is a piece of trash, he's wrong and just stubborn?
Do you think that sometimes he doesn't even know if he's right or wrong? That he doesn't even care, all he knows is that he's so, so angry, he's in so, SO much pain, he wants to scream, he wants to cry, it all hurts and no one's coming to make it better and he can never get it out, he can never truly vocalise it because the words won't come, and he looks hysterical, insane, and selfish.
He's just tired.
#severus snape#pro snape#professor severus snape#minerva mcgonagall#why minerva and not the others? lets just say that my own mother's given me my fair share of issues and im done#i dont even care if im wrong anymore if im an awful person i do not care i actually don't#because nothing i do makes me look good everything about me is just wrong so why should i care anymore?#why bother trying? I'll always have “problems”#but noooo im not autistic i dont have adhd i couldn't possibly#like hello what do you think my “attitude” is mum? me choosing to be rude to people?#im not diagnosed yet this is all from my own research and im not even sure sometimes#and sometimes i geniunely worry that maybe i AM neurotypical and just a lazy self centred human#i dunno#well guess that explains why i like snape so much and why i defend him

Damn. It's been quite the year for AouBoom announcements! Three fanmeetings/fandays! Lead roles!! New official merch!! A logo!!!!! (Did I miss anything??) And it's not even the end of April yet...
(And this isn't counting the excitement they've brought from their reels/TikToks/P10L scenes/other moments that I am too tired to collate rn but I'm sure someone elsewhere has or will)
#i feel like i maybe don't have the right to be so excited when i haven't been here that long but still!!! i'm excited!!!#aouboom#aou thanaboon#boom tharatorn#talking to myself#also i know some ppl are waiting for an announcement that they're now an official couple#but idt gmmtv does any kind of announcement for that??? it's just like... lead roles > logo > mascot from my research#and from what i've seen in the past year or so#but i could and have been wrong!#but yeah basically if there's not an announcement i'm just saying i think that's standard procedure and nothing to worry about#(and the mascots come after the logo but the timelines vary - lately* it's been toward the end of their first series as a main couple)#*exceptions being couples who came back/came to gmmtv as a pair#and the solo artists i think?? but i don't follow them that closely so idk if they lined up with anything#i probably did miss something my brain is like pudding lately#and not like a firm christmas pudding#the mushy kind

just had to give a gentle nudge about research ethics on discord. with an Essek profile pic. I'm still laughing.
#the irony was definitely lost on them but god it was not lost on me#for the record my discord pfp is the shot of him at the greek live show turning to fearne like ?!?!?! about ludinus lmao#anyway. hilarious times.#I have realized in both work and school that. my threshold for research ethics is SO high jfc#me like 'well i have like 600 examples for lit analysis it won't be totally representative but i think it'll be a good start'#normal grad students: this set of surveys from my family friends and classmates is good enough to present at conferences right#[REALLY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER NOISE]#it's fine I'm fine don't worry about it. I'm cool I'm fine#this is not related to this person to be clear it's a previous gripe#love being in research love learning about how most people do research and having to go 'do ANY of you have even COMMON SENSE'#this has gotten off topic. alas.

HOW TO BECOME A FIGHTER PILOT
So as you may or may not know, I am writing a fanfic. Unfortunately for me, I can never do things half way, and because aviation is my passion I must do hours of research on a particular subject that I probably won't even use or reference in said fanfic. Here is a guide for how our favorite characters (probably) became fighter pilots. If there are inaccuracies let me know, I want to know :)
United States Naval Academy
The USNA is an undergraduate college that is a combination of academics and military development programs. Students who want to go into Flight School could qualify with one of a variety of different majors, but there are particular majors that obviously may provide a bit of an advantage to aspiring pilots. The USNA currently offers a variety of different majors and minors, though there are fewer than you might expect from a typical university, and overall the degrees are more tailored towards the Navy. They encourage participation in athletics in the form of a Varsity or club/intramural sport(1).
NOTE: Maverick likely attended a regular college and was a part of the Naval ROTC program at that school. He would have gotten his degree in a field relevant to aviation, likely Mechanical Engineering given his mechanical aptitude seen in Top Gun Maverick, and then attended the 13-week program called Officer Candidate School. To be honest, Maverick’s path within the Navy is a mess and impossible to follow but in the most straightforward scenario, he would go to flight school following Officer Candidate School.
Flight School
Flight School is an approximately 2-year-long program that is required for Naval Aviators to earn their wings. Primarily located at the “Cradle of Naval Aviation” aka Pensacola, FL, flight school consists of many different phases that will divide students into different specializations.
1. Naval Introductory Flight Evaluation (NIFE)
Divided into four phases, NIFE is a program that evaluates students’ aeronautical aptitude as well as screens them to ensure they’re capable of becoming aviators. Students may earn a “pink sheet” for any score below 80% or a failure of a task, requiring them to stand before a panel of instructors to explain why they failed and how they plan to improve. Too many pink sheets result in removal from the program(2).
1a. Water Survival Training Following medical clearance, students are taught and tested on their ability to swim while wearing flight gear as well as formerly instructed on various survival techniques and CPR(2).
1b. Academics A 3-week phase where students take classes and exams in five subjects. It is condensed to test a student’s ability to retain information, learn new information in a high-stress environment, and challenge their self-discipline in regard to time management and other areas(2).
1c. Introductory Flight Screening (IFS) Students are entered into a 2-week-long modified civilian flight training program where one week is dedicated to ground school courses before they must conduct a series of flights in a Cessna using Navy flight procedures during the second week. Students had to memorize and prioritize information to complete the flights, specifically in regard to conducting pre-flight briefings and emergency procedures. Overall, they’ll conduct seven flights in which they are required to complete a set of standardized maneuvers(2).
1d. Aviation Physiology A week-long training course that consists of emergency-specific training evolutions such as the hypoxia chamber, emergency first aid, and the “helo dunker.” The “helo dunker” (from what I understand) is a particular training device that consists of strapping a pilot into a cockpit-like or helicopter contraption within a pool and submerging the entire structure under the water, simulating an environment in which their aircraft has landed in the water and they need to escape from the seat(3). An image of this can be seen below(2).
The Top Gun cast had to undergo a similar training course in order to be allowed to fly in military airplanes for filming. A video of some of their training can be viewed below.
youtube
2b. Aviation Pre-Flight Indoctrination
A 6-week long program that marks the beginning of the aviation pipeline. Located in Pensacola, FL, students attend classes covering the basics of aerodynamics, weather in relation to aviation, air navigation, flight rules and regulations, and aircraft engines and systems (3).
Prior to API, those interested in becoming Radar Intercept Officers (RIO) will have expressed their interest and requested a designation as a Naval Flight Officer (NFO).
2c. Primary Flight Training
A 6-month-long program that teaches the students the basics of flying. There are two locations for Primary, one at Training Air Wing 5 at Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Pensacola, FL, or Training Air Wing 4 at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi in Corpus Christi, TX. Both Naval Air Stations (NAS) are taught the same curriculum and fly the same aircraft, the T-6 Texan II. The students learn about the instruments, flight basics, radio instrument navigation, formation flying, and aerobatics, and also conduct several solo flights. At the end of Primary, students choose which pipeline they would like. This is conducted depending on the needs of the Navy and how many spots are available(3).
Obviously, Iceman, Slider, Goose, Cougar, and everyone else got Jets, though they may not have gone through flight school at the same time.
2d. Intermediate Flight Training
Intermediate Flight Training is a 27-week program. Split into five platforms; Jet, E2/C2, Helicopter, Maritime, and E-6 TACAMO. The jet platform flight training focuses more on navigation, air traffic control, individual skills, and cooperative skills of flying jets. The intermediate flight training program for jets is located at Meridian, MS (Training Air Wing One) at either VT-7 or VT-9, and Kingsville, TX (Training Air Wing Two) at either VT-21 or VT-22, both of which teach the same curriculum. Students in the jet platform will complete 58 graded flights in the T-45C Goshawk jet trainer aircraft(3).
2e. Advanced Flight Training
Similar to Intermediate Flight Training, the program is split into five platforms but lasts 23 weeks. The students will probably have stayed with the same training squadron throughout the intermediate and advanced flight training. This stage includes learning skills specific to the chosen platform. The Advanced Flight Training program for jets is what’s called the Strike Syllabus. The Strike Syllabus includes an additional 67 graded flights in the T-45 covering air combat maneuvers, low-level navigation, tactical formation flying, and aircraft carrier qualifications. Students will then graduate from Advanced Flight Training with the Wings of Gold(3).
3. Squadron Selection
The final selection process assigns naval aviators to a particular squadron based on the needs of the service. Naval Aviators are assigned to a fleet replacement squadron or other similar training assignments for further training on their specific aircraft type. Here, RIOs and pilots must become qualified by gaining the required flight hours and meeting the proficiency standards necessary.
NOTE: It’s kind of hard to figure out when exactly the RIO training occurs. I know it takes place over the course of all the primary through advanced training occurs as well but I’m not sure if they have to attend seperate courses for it.
TOPGUN
From there, pilots and RIOs may have been moved to their first official squadron for deployment. They would have been in their first squadron for approximately one and a half years, deploying with them. Their squadron would come back from a deployment and during the stand-down time before their next deployment, their commanding officer would select them to go to TOPGUN.

Advisor has called my thesis topic and attempt "difficult", and that I need to try and relax and enjoy the process, and that that will help me stop writing like I'm writing the publishable article that comes from synthetizing an honors thesis. He compared it with someone attempting to juggle 9 items with one hand before they have completely mastered two-hand, five-item juggling. In that sense he also said my writing might profit from my writing for myself all those simpler intermediate stages (for example, just writing summary-commentaries of the chapters I'm using from MacIntyre's work).
So, I might bore you all with posts about those.
#a kind methodology professor has allowed me to sit at the back on her thesis workshop#so I'm gonna take that environmental opportunity to do intensive writing during that hour a weel#when I mentioned struggling with imagining my target audience for my thesis#advisor first suggested I thought about it as a seminar I was to teach (something that had occurred to me before)#and then suggested I frame it as writing a first entry into MacIntyre and narrative in ethics for other college professors#as in you know “huh heard a lot about this guy it would be interesting to have a good discussion that isn't just a Wikipedia or Plato page”#ngl amusing that someone who knows me would immediately go “how can I turn this into think-of-it-as-teaching for her”#never beating the contemplata aliis tradere allegations#don't worry#as Aristotle very aptly put down in the Aristotelian Ethics#it's not a complete virtuous action the one that is done merely according to natural inclination rather than with right reason and of virtue#and I clearly cannot function well in the merely research mode#so

wrote 1000 words today :>
#yayayayayay yippeee#entropy.txt#i spent like the past few days doing a BUNCH of research into music production#just to get a vague vibe on like what would Grian's process kind of be#im really worried about getting something like this like blatantly and obviously wrong#she's got a really specific like genre of music that she does in my head#and i just i feel like producing in particular is this thing people don't tend to write about#people are all about singers and bands but the humble producer sorta gets no love in fic#so yeah music producer grian real and i hope i do her justice#im feeling a lot more confident than i was#like realistically im not even gonna go that in depth into process#because that would just highlight my blindspots#but i do just aaaa i wanna get the vibe right yknow#the broad strokes

I have seen too many god damn illustrations of ancient indigenous American tribes wearing only loincloths (usually just plain white ones) and I am getting skeptical and kind of annoyed.
I need some indigenous fashion history sources, because 1. why would they be content to run around mostly naked but still have the christian sensitivities to cover their privates? 2. North America isn't some Elysian paradise full of soft grasses and flowers to walk on, I'm SURE most of these different people wore some kind of shoe. 3. Sunburn and bug bites are still a real thing in a lot of everywhere, I'm sure most people would want to protect their skin are you kidding me? 4. SNOW??? Hello, this would have been PRE-global warming, thanks??? 5. WHY ARE ALL THE LOINCLOTHS WHITE WHERE ARE THEY GETTING THIS BLEACHED WHITE COTTON HANES-HER-WAY WHITY-TIGHTIES????? I'm pretty sure most people before the 1700's obsession with greek white marble liked COLORFUL things? Anyways, this is me getting mad at an illustration of a Pueblo home would have been like supposedly in the 700's and they're all wearing plain white loincloths when I've NEVER seen a photograph of a Pueblo person dressed like that. I know the 700's was a long time ago but a lot of cultural history was preserved and passed on, wasn't it?
#fashion history#rant#don't worry I'm gonna do some of my own research later#I am ALSO frustrated at the lack of information on Timucua culture#they all died by the 1700's but that's still my local tribe and the cultural history of where I live and I want to know more about them

Okay I got inspired by @traitorszine and I wanted to make my version of maruki as some kind of a traitor so here you go.
Here is the white plague in his glory

And also by the way the # explains the lore of this goober being evil
They will be mentions of brainwashing and manipulating from the beginning soo yaaaahhh v
#the reason why he became like this is because of shido manipulating him and brainwashing him all because maruki wanted his research back#and he was forced to become an assassin#he doesn't use a gun or a sword He just uses his claws as a way of killing somebody if it doesn't work He uses a cane#which is on his back lol but my apologies if I didn't draw it#he uses his claws as some kind of blatant intimidation device so he can get answers from people#persona 5#maruki#dr maruki#dr. maruki#persona 5 royal maruki#persona 5 maruki#maruki takuto#takuto maruki#persona 5 royal#p5r#but don't worry it gets better the brainwashing breaks off and this MF is not the same anymore and he's so traumatize about the things#he did#so gets his revenge by messing up shido in the process and smies at him creepily#or he does not do that...but there's a chance...I guess#the reason why he's called that is because his smoke bombs hide his cover and makes a fog like density#so some people won't see him coming#And also he will probably do claw marks on the wall as a sign that he was here but he wasn't anymore#I know that he's not a phantom thief but I really want to do something that my brain was itching for me to do#so I'm doing my part lol#Apologies if the Lore is butchered this is just for pure blatant fun

#note that id have to edit barrys one a bit because it's supposed to be 2-3 minutes and i could do with less gene in the scene#but also im worried about sallys monologue being kinda iffy in terms of gender even if its probably the better one to research and perform#like do i misgender myself?? gender neutralise the script?? but then would that be taking away from the feminist themes in the monologue??#barry#barry hbo#barry berkman#barry block#sally reed#also this poll probably won't take a day ill just go by the results in either an hour or so or whenever ive gotten enough votes#mainly because i don't have time and i need to at least start my pitch for the project today

Real quick how do i kill the audience in my brain?
#lately i find myself increasingly worried about a hypothetical audience and their judgement of my work#i start making a design and i think 'oh god what if there's backlash because too many characters in this cast are X?'#i start making a different one and think 'Oh god i have to completely redo this one i just realised she's black and could be interpreted as#overly assertive; which would make people brand me as a racist'#etc etc so on and so forth#one of my friends solved this by only making characters who are like him but ngl i kinda... don't want to do that?#i try to do my research when i write characters who have different struggles than me or who are a different ethnicity than me#(eg Liliana or Liberty)#but people are people and I don't want to portray just a very specific subset of people

me: okay I can just finish my class readings and the next assignment due and then take some time to chill and perhaps write :)))
me, immediately: I need to read 7 books, 12 articles, and 3 dissertations in the next week
#such is life ig#DON'T worry about it I'm fine everything is fine and reasonable#this isn't even for my program either I'm just trying to conceptualize phd research topics#my therapist today was like 'well you don't really have to think about that yet you can focus on the other things'#here i am. twelve hours later. rip.

Applying for my Master's in gender studies kind of feels like shooting myself in the foot, but then again, it's not a useless discipline if it's being systematically censored and erased.
#not sure what research i could offer that has actual value#like i'm not doing scientific or health-related research. i'm not an engineer like all my relatives lol#i just like to think... and theorize..... what happened to all the theorists and philosophers?#seems like nowadays there's no point to grad school unless you're doing something stem or business related#annoying as fuck really.#i thought very hard about information technology and there's still time. i just have such a passion for gender/queer studies#too bad there aren't any programs that are just focused on queer/trans studies :)))))#and gender studies programs are at risk of being shut down. so that's awesome.#i still have some thinking to do....... because i don't want to shoot myself in the foot#like do i really want to work in higher education? do i reeeeally?#at the risk of sounding very arrogant i will say i'm not worried about my application if and when i do it#because i was easily the top student in my undergrad program and i have my current job to show for it#i've got great references and writing samples. just need a more concise idea for a research project...

baking never feels more like science to me than when i'm trying to cobble together an intricate multi step recipe together from several different recipes and tutorials online because the recipe I'm imagining doesn't exist....
#genuinely feels like a science experiment making something fancier than a frosted layer cake#have to do all kinds of volume and weight conversions because one recipe is japanese and the other is indian and the other is english lmfao#none of the recipes are probably the exact volume I need so i might have to make some minis with my extra stuff#i have to find a very precise sheet pan size tomorrow for the patterned cake i'm gonna use as the outer bit#otherwise i'll have to make my own from parchment paper??? or tin foil??? man idk.....#i had to write out all of my instructions and ingredient lists so i don't have to go between 6 different websites tomorrow/sat#i had to do research on fucking. gelatine 😭because it's impossible to find gelatine sheets here and they're used in EVERY mousse recipe#and there's apparently a huge debate on what the ACTUAL conversion of sheet gelatine to powdered gelatine is for baking#I also had to type up like an exact order to make each component because most need a significant amount of cooling time#grayson im gonna try my hardest to make you this fancy ass lemon cake and i pray i succeed this time where i failed on my own birthday#2 yrs ago but also i think this will go better bc i'm not doing a jelly insert or a candied mirror glaze#I'm also making my own candied lemons and lemon curd even though i don't have to#mostly because i wanna try doing it and the sheer power of getting to say i made the whole thing from scratch *#minus the actual cake mix because i don't have a good from scratch cake track record and box mixes are so so reliable#and i have too many moving parts to worry about finding a new cake recipe#every fucking cake recipe now is a fucking genoise sponge for SOME REASON#which is NOTORIOUSLY DIFFICULT AND A HUGE PAIN IN THE ASS BECAUSE IT USES NO RISING AGENTS#i want to throttle whoever it was that made online recipe people turn to only using variations of a genoise sponge for their cake recipes#honestly i need to maybe join the baking subreddit and ask for some good old baking/cookbooks with reliable baking recipes#ones that aren't crazy labor intensive for fucks sake i'm not a french patisserie#my stuff#it would be cool to one day have baked enough and have enough know how of how standard baking recipe components work#so i can just come up with my own recipes on my own#and just use whatever flavors i want#i feel like i would enjoy being a baker except if i had to make wedding cakes

… I WOULD LIKE TO FORMALLY APOLOGIZE FOR STARTING THE CHAIN OF EVENTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY FUCKING UP YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE.
UH.
YEAH.
I DO NOT FEEL REMORSE BUT I CANNOT HELP BUT REGRET WHAT I HAVE DONE AFTER THIS RATHER PITIFUL DISPLAY OF.. ALMOST BEING DEAD FOR SEVERAL DAYS ON END.
👋👋
🏃♂️
I have felt it before, that certainty, that death knell of the self. Knowing, because you are being warned by your own body as it barely fights to stay alive, that you could close your eyes and never open them again. Drift off as easily as falling into sleep, or perhaps easier.
That young woman I used to be, I recall her—disoriented and bloody, head wrapped in bandages, laid upon a clinic bed. Resting there in the nothingness that resides between two life-changing points, the stretch of time after the infliction of a terrible hurt but before the healing. Survival. Being struck with that profound numbness.
How dare I be put through this again?
Anyway apology acceptead i appreciate it
#HFSHGSLGKSG love you celestial spectre shuigui#sorry my favorite bit to do is have eigong write an entire long disproportionately serious response out of nowhere#i wanted to put ''how dare you put me through this again''#because that makes the punchline of her immediately going ''anyway apology accepted'' way funnier but also ARHGHHGH i don't think she would#actually say that and also then it sounds like she's accusing shuigui directly even though she just means the general you#so alas i'll sacrifice some of the comedy but just know that was my intention#well i mean. not that anything on this blog is ever anything eigong would actually say. you know what i mean though#don't worry about her she's very delirious and half conscious and embarrassed that she almost got killed by jiequan of all people#that's one of her own hospital beds by the way she probably has a few in the tiandao research institute#ask to tag
