The fact that the richest 1% are responsible for such a massive amount of greenhouse emissions makes me so angry. How much of a selfish, careless, despicable human being does one have to be to literally actively support the extinction of (our) species and destruction of the planet. How can you look at yourself in the mirror? How can you look your children in the eyes?Have you no morals? Have you ever just for a single second thought about how maybe, just maybe, there are much more important things than yet another billion dollars made? The greed of the filthy rich is literally killing all of us.

One of the many reasons why I enjoy reading classics is because I don’t have to be afraid of randomly coming across the word “cock” on a page. So many books I would love to read plot wise are ruined for me because of “spice”. To be clear, I don’t have anything against books that include very explicit sexual content, but as an aspec person with sexual trauma who’s generally rather sex repulsed unless it’s in my own relationship, it’s not something I enjoy or feel comfortable engaging with.
If this isn’t a joke, someone asking whether Dostoevsky books are explicitly sexual is hilarious though.
still reeling from this gem
literally screaming.

i know dave k said to not read into the song choices in the playlists BUT HE PUT ÁGUAS DE MARÇO IN THE HODGSON PLAYLIST SO I’M GONNA READ A LITTLE INTO IT
anyway, águas de março in the hodgson playlist. why am i freaking out? besides that fact that it’s a brazil mention, of course. well, you see, águas de março (waters of march, as translated by tom jobim himself) is a song from the point of view of someone tired, hopeful about what’s to come.
the lyricism is very calm and repetitive, overall, but most of all, it is filled with mentions of things at their ends, the rest, death. until you get to the chorus, where there’s hope, hope that this will end and good things are coming.
in the og/port version, it’s about the waters of march ending summer (‘são as águas de março fechando o verão’, or ‘it’s the waters of march closing the summer’, literal translation), and in the translated/english version, it’s about talks of the waters of march (‘and the riverbank talks of the waters of march’), but in both versions these lines are followed by hope of good things to come (‘é a promessa de vida no teu coração’ in the og, and ‘it's the promise of life, it's the joy in your heart’ in the translation, almost identical). (side note, tom jobim wrote a portuguese and english version of águas de março, so if you’d like to listen to it, there’s many english covers and they’re all very good, so highly recommend it!)
what you get is (sorry for being a broken record, but this is what the song is about!) a tired man hoping for better times. which, great description of the franklin expedition, stuck in arctic, hoping for better times.
but what really gets me going is that waters of march is in hodgson’s playlist. i keep thinking about hodgson’s ‘i’m hungry and i want to live’, and recontextualizing the song to that line, to hodgson’s persoective, and reviewing hodgson’s words with what i know of the song.
at the end, it leads me to see hodgson, his words and his acts, especially when in the mutiny camp, as (once again, with feeling) a tired but somehow still hopeful man. this is horrible, actual hell, but maybe, if he survives this, things will get better. it’s the promise of life, in your heart. i’m hungry and i want to live.
#the terror#george hodgson#trr: hodgson#edu.txt#this is short and simple and mostly me talking about águas de março#but i freaked out a little seeing it in the hodgson playlist#just many thoughts!#oh dave k how i wish i could ask you about it#anyway love that he chose a version that is both eng and port!#ALSO there’s a cover with david byrne and marisa monte ?????????????? didn’t expect this duo but i loved it#ANYWAY again if you’d like to listen to this song and understand what’s being said without needing to translate it there’s many eng covers#i think the art garfunkel is one of the more popular ones#but tbh i bet most if not all of them are very good so feel free to listen to any of them#and maybe even the og tom jobim and maybe maybe even the jobim & elis regina version#this is a good song and all the dozens of ppl who have sung it did it very well so there’s no missing here

I feel like I should make this clear.
Yes Junjie was the dark slinger for 20 years old making him in years being Alive 36
And Eli being 16 means I shouldn’t be shipping them.
But how I perceive it. Junjie didn’t age mentally or physically and the Goon controlled him for those 20 years. Junjie showed no way of fight to gain control (unlike Eli) so I believe he was in a limbo state. Not aging.
So to me Junjie is still a child. I get why people don’t ship it especially because Junjie seems more “mature” (main reasoning) but have a look at Junjie‘s culture growing up. He was destined and trained since he was young to be the Eastern Champion taking on the trope of “growing up to fast” and not really getting to be a child
“He’s a mentor to Eli, it’s predatory”
I get where some of you interpret this idea, but Junjie at 16 (before the attack on the eastern caverns) he was a mentor towards the younger kids of the east, as he matured faster then the rest of the gang would of have to. Taking on more responsibilities when Eli had only been living in Slugterra for a year.
I’m not saying you don’t have to change your view, but look at it from a different angle
#slugterra#ao3#writing#eli shane#eli#ao3 author#junjie#author#eli x junjie#I’m looking at this for ideas of different kinds of fics I can create#I have so many thoughts on these twos relationships and I don’t want it to be watered down#and it’s ao3 it’s meant for content NOT to be censored#so just think about it#random thoughts#spilled thoughts#ao3 things#english#favorite pairings#pronto geronimole#trixie sting#character study#overthink just once about a character

The poll is done but I like this question because I don’t immediately know the answer. I‘d say the little things. Autistic joy. But most of all because I’m used to it. I keep going because I do things the same every day. I keep going because that’s what I always do. Because it’s routine. It doesn’t matter that I don’t feel excited about life most days because my obsessive compulsive tendencies and autism make me stick to my routines. It’s not really a choice I guess. I mean partly it is, I enjoy my routines because they make me feel in control and make life predictable and I like that. But I don’t really have something that drives me except for this. So maybe I’d say addiction because that’s the closest thing to obsessively sticking to routines without really having a say in it.

'oh I cannot say horrible things because of the Woke' well boo hoo, I cannot say mean things about bands I dislike because they love my show and will beat me up if I slag them off
#is this autobiographical? Is this about somebody else? You tell me#for starts this is actually true about being on radio. I cannot openly shit on certain bands for things like. Never getting my name right#because they listen to and love my show#but also#this is about Dave Masterman quickly cutting in with 'members of the 1975 listen to this show' when Elis and John were about to spout off#about Matty Healy (and presumably Dave was giving them warning daggers with his eyes)#this is about Coldplay's agent phoning up Noel Fielding to say he's too mean about them#this is about whatever the fuck Simon Amstell was on half the time#this is about all the bands Bob Mortimer hates LMAO#this is about James Acaster having to watch his mouth because he has Too Many thoughts about music and half of said music either#loves him or has been interviewed by him about his book on 2016 music#(this is also about the fact that I think our local superstar producer's daughter's music is way overhyped lol.#I can't say that on air; she's my guest next week! But if you like 70s tinged funky bedroom pop I guess...)#Don't breathe a word.

you are absolute right about the death note and vicious parallels. Another piece of media that goes right along with these two is nbc's Hannibal if you ever want to check it out. Also its just fascinating to wonder if light's deathnote works on eli. I think it wouldn't. Both eli and light have this specific flavor of 'perfect model student who has crafted a mask for society which hides their homicidal tendencies and god complexes' which is awesome.
I've heard that Hannibal fits well for both of them, I want to watch it eventually but I have to finish Vengeful first and also be in the headspace to start it because it's hard for me to start new things lolol. Also that's a super interesting idea, I don't think it would work because Eli's body would heal itself, but what if it would keep trying until he died? Because the Death Note is made to kill people, and he never dies, so what if he has the experience over and over again? Or maybe it would consider him to be dead already, because he's an EO? Much to think about with that. Light and Eli reminded me of eachother a lot because of what you said [an interesting contrast between them is that Light thinks he is the god and Eli thinks he is carrying out god's will] and because of L and Victor seeing through that facade and glaring at what's underneath, wanting to pick it apart and see it for themselves [also they want eachother dead]. They're so interesting and I am so normal about them.
#noodle talks#not art#ask#villains duology#vicious ve schwab#death note#thank you for the ask by the way :) im glad theres other people who like both lol#i need to pick apart their brains#random thought: imagine a yotsuba-like situation with evervale. Eli doesn't remember killing EOs OR their conflict#he thinks everything is normal and doesnt understand. I dont have many thoughts about this#i think victor would be a little pissed#all of that time and effort and Eli suddenly doesnt remember his actions? doesnt know the pain hes caused or why its happening? oh no no no#i dont have many thoughts about this it just came to me and i had to share

I have a personal theory that Yenna (Eli's daughter) would probably be part of fourth gen then the third gen.
First is actualy her age. Right now, during the 2nd gen, she is 3 years old. In 3rd gen, she would be a teenager and there might be the beginning of her training, so in 4th gen she might actually being in that era.
Secondly, Yenna might starts to fight with other gangs in late 3rd gen and early 4th gen. Most likely she would be considered to be part of 3.5 gen (between 3rd and 4th gens).
#lookism#i never thought of that before until recently#many people would think that she would be part of 3rd gen but i disagree#because if she is in 3rd gen; yenna is in pre-teenage period#so i like to this that eli's daughter would be in 4th gen#this is just a theory

Anyone have any good horror youtubers who critically talk about horror media and use at least 2 brain cells when talking about harmful tropes in horror? I just started watching a new channel that seemed interesting but then one of the video shifted to "disabled bodies scary" and "addicts scary". It's esp pissing me off cause they even address that people have mentioned that, big shocker, disabled people are people and that their bodies aren't a horror to marvel at or be repulsed by. And then they just ignored that. I'd like to watch someone who knows what they're talking about with horror media and can approach it in constructive ways. Any type of horror content is fine, I'm open to exploring more genres and sub-genres.
#Ableism#Ask To Tag#(is there a tag I can use for discrimination against addicts?)#Eli Speaks#Horror Tag#Horror#Goddess Bunny/Sandie Crisp deserved better than fucking obedecer a la morsa#it took an expression of her art and a moment of joy in her life and turned it into 'disabled person moves weird and it's freaky'#theres so many horror youtubers who fall into this shit#i really wanna find someone who can think for one moment and realize how harmful this shit is#anyone know any good disabled horror youtubers? id love to hear their perspective on stuff like this#same going for ND youtubers talking about asylum/scary mentally ill person horror tropes#love to hear a thoughtful deconstruction of that stuff

Okay soooo fun and sex and crying and love and being nerdy? Kind of makes sense though the order is off. More like being nerdy, love, fun, crying and sex. That’s pretty much my life.
your first column of emojis describes your personality! what’s yours?

I imagine Eli did tell Zander his deadname at some point because Zander is one of the people he considers cool enough to know and not long afterwards he’d be like “hey Zander, what’s my deadname?” And Zander would just stare at him and Eli would think it’s funny at first and then he’d be like “Alright man it’s not a fucking slur, you can say it, you’ve already proved you’re a good ally and shit you don’t need to pretend you forgot” and Zander would just keep staring at him and Eli would realize oh he. Actually forgot it.
#stupid shit#Zander filed that under ‘not important’ in his brain which sent it straight to the metaphorical shredder#trans eli#when I start thinking too much about my own name I also start thinking about Eli’s attitude towards his name#sleep posting#that my new tag for when I schedule these to post when I’m asleep#sometimes I get self conscious that I’m posting too much dumb shit but also it’s my blog and I have so many dumb thoughts I want to share#or I worry I’m being too self indulgent or fixating on one character or ship too much.#so I post them while I sleep so I don’t have to think about it till I wake up#sleep posting.

You know it Magnusson gets significantly more love than hate on that poll he doesn’t go to the next round right? Lol
this isnt about winning this about LOVING arne magnusson as he DESERVES #pridemonth
#asks#arne magnusson#umbreonpost#i like to keep it silly but here i'll leave my genuine thoughts#i will forever be a magnusson supporter and i think more people should like him#i don't want him to win the poll because i dont want people to hate him#especially since a lot of traits.people dislike about him tend to be npdcoded#soo#yeah#and just in universe i think so many people overlook how much work hes done for the resistance#the magnusson devices for one#and directing white forest for an even bigger one#isaac eli arne all stand TOGETHER as very important resistance members. i wish arne wasnt excluded so often

I’ve found that there’s few to no reference pictures of non flat top surgery online, and I’ve been really wanting to figure out how I would like my chest to look like, and even just be able to provide reference pictures of what I’m aiming for to my surgeon. I’m sharing this as there’s probably some people in the same position who don’t want to have to look at porn just to get a picture of how different sizes look. There may not be many pictures of radical reductions/non flat top surgery, but there are tons of reference photos of patients pre (and post) breast enlargement/augmentation by different surgeons. And while these people of course don’t have scars in their pre-op photos, I’ve still found these resources incredibly useful to decide what size and shape I’d like to aim for.
