the decameron isn't taking off like tumblr's new bridgerton and i'm being so brave about it
(that's a lie. i'm not. WHERE ARE THE GIFSETS!!!!!!!!)
#it's MY bridgerton okay!!!!!!!!!!!!!#except instead of swoony romance it's a bitter examination of toxic codependent attachment between the noble and servant classes#and how sometimes that's still kind of love anyway#but also it's Bad#who doesn't want to watch that?!?!?!?!#dollsome's deep thoughts#the decameron#come on guys. my lady jane is happening. we can make this happen too!!!!!!!!!!!#also if anyone is kinda missing that succession magic i feel like this show scratches a similar itch in a fun way#and also makes me want a succession au in this exact setting#i have this yearning in my heart to see all the succession characters go to a fancy house in a remote location and start dying idk#but it's also great to witness with the characters from the decameron!#am i selling it???!!!!

Siegfried Farnon is based on eccentric vet Donald Sinclair, who Peter Wright worked closely with in his early career.
"You know, Donald died unexpectedly. And that morning, I remember the phone going, Jim Wight rang me to say Donald's died. Jim said, 'It's going to be a duller world without Donald Sinclair.' By gosh, it was. It has been."
#all creatures great and small#acgas 2020#the yorkshire vet#samuel west#peter wright#donald sinclair#long post#mine#this was so much fun#and what can be a bigger compliment than hearing those who knew the guy your character is based on#tell you that it's almost like being in his presence again#i dont know sam and im sure he has his faults but he once again comes across as such a genuinely kind and good person#and it makes me so happy#and yes the beard is essential for siegfried but i love that face either way#still if he ever tries to go clean shaven on the show i hope audrey hides his razor w/ as much success as she hid his tobacco#and - understandably - it was skirted on screen but if i remember correctly donald took his own life after real-life audrey died#which i could def see happen (not that i ever wanna mind you) on the show as well given how siegfried was on the verge of going to pieces#and that was 'only' when she was about to move away

Mortal Kombat 1 Behind the Scenes AU: There are no hopeless students, only bad teachers.
Author’s note: Look, I won't lie, I low-key hate Tomas' MK1 ending for the way he and Kuai Liang see Hanzo, as this gifted student enrolled in Shirai Ryu for their "noble cause" while showing little concerns for the boy itself. I have a lot to say about that and maybe will explain once I will sit down to write my (for now) final part of "Bi-Han & Kuai Liang. Good brother? Evil brother? Nah, just different reactions to trauma" but my negative reaction comes down to this: Tomas who struggled so much to became Lin Kuei (fighter) should not look down on young students for not being "good enough" to be new members of Shirai Ruy. Kuai Liang should not either, but his intro dialogues made me think he would not be the best teacher - which frankly is more about Lin Kuei arrogance than him being a bad person, just to be clear here. So I decided to A) give more focus on Tomas and his relationship with adoptive dad and B) let him be the voice of reason to the "badass" warriors like Scorpion and Harumi. So yeah, the problem is not in student (this poor kid trying hard) but in teachers with too big expectations and too little patience.

Cant wait to see the dynamic between Charles and Lewis next year.. i feel like its either going to go well or good at the beginning and goes sour towards the end 🤷🏽♀️
i'm already stockpiling popcorn for the Absolute Scenes™ we are going to get between them
#tbh i don't even think it's going to go well at the start i think they'll be doing pr to pretend it is#but lbr they'll both be desperate to beat each other#neither one of these men has ever been happy to see a teammate beat them or anyone beat them#they are the worlds worst losers just so sour and miserable and not good enough actors to fake it#(i don't mean that as a criticism i think it's part of what makes them interesting and successful but it will still lead to bloodshed)#it's going to be great 😊#delta help desk

having another one of my job-related crises
#where are the jobs for blokes that do fuck all. where are they!!!!!!!#i am quite literally looking for jobs where you do nothing. you do not understand how much i dont want to do anything#granted my current job has a certain amount of doing nothing in that i have the time to look for jobs where i do nothing#but i want to do even more nothing. do you understand#if i lived on my own i probably would consider some weird night shift job#but its probably better i have the routine i have living during the day like a normal person#despite the drawbacks of my cursed routine#where are those jobs i see people making tiktoks about where you do fuck all in the office and send like one email a day. id kill for that#my dream is to be paid for like. mostly sitting somewhere where i can work on my needlepoint#id even do mindless data entry. PLEASE pay me for mindless data entry i love repetitive tasks. if you let me listen to music im unstoppable#ive come across a couple data entry jobs but i think they always require a college degree#and its like oops sorry i never had the time or money for that! still dont! however i can promise you my autism is qualification enough#my dad talks about the market research jobs he used to have and how for like the entry level jobs there#there was clearly so much goof off time they were playing early computer games and shit#but there were like so much more data entry jobs that i guess are obsolete now bc of technology#and its like yes technology good but theyve destroyed an important job category: jobs where you do fuck all#whenever i have one of these crises i also check out gigs n jobs on craigslist and unfortunately everything there seems so sketchy#like every 'personal assistant' job sounds either super pervy or like im going to get serial killed#i should get paid a million dollars a year for doing nothing at all i think#anyway once again my only option is my successful director dreams. would be great if theyd actually happen#<- guy that doesnt spend enough time actually working on creative works in progress#well anyway. such is my mental state today thank you for your time

Thinking about Nancy's tendency to frequently lie, terribly, and the idea of autistic masking as constant social pressure to lie about yourself. The idea of her conceptualizing interactions with others as a kind of performance with few internal differences between outright lying and being social.
#she just does it without thought#frequently and with apparently little understanding that she's not very good at it#its her go to when she is uncomfortable or stressed#idk if this makes sense#she values honesty above all else and sees honesty in others almost too much#but at the same time has had to learn like so many autistic girls#that socializing involves a great amount of acting to be successful#but she's not exactly been the most successful has she#Barb was her only friend#anyway#Nancy is so autism coded#i love her so mucb#nancy wheeler#autistic nancy wheeler#stranger things#st

WHAT TAROT CARD ARE YOU ?
JUSTICE — what would you do to ensure justice? you know full well i don’t speak of lofty ideals and courts and magistrates, dearest. what would you do to those that hurt you? if I dropped them in your lap, what would you do? what kind of pain could you possibly inflict upon them? you are right to do so. you are right to want to do so. ignore the screaming, dearest, you are the hand of justice now, and they hurt you. do not look too closely at their faces, dearest. you are within your rights. you spell out your own rights, now. are you happy about it? are you certain that this is the right person you hold by the hair? does your anger hurt less now?

The people she would perceive as innocent and people like Alicent who ? in the book viserys loved an#in the show who she herself cared for like it’s#‘ does your anger hurt less now ? ‘ no! it does not#because the price she’s paid to successfully reclaim what they stole from her is ! too! high !#the price she never wanted to have to pay which she said at the start of it was too high of a cost was paid anyway and she’s fundamentally#fucking miserable because of it#like visenya is dead luke is dead jace is dead and viserys is missing and likely dead and all she has left is joff and aegon#and like the notion of the opposition to her succession was something she expected at that point.

both versions of Louis de pointe du lac being in business professions which both dehumanize and leech off their Labour while the worker is unable to fully consent (book Louis owning a plantation and show Louis being a pimp)…….LOUIS DE POINTE DU LAC YOU WILL BURN!!!!!!!!!

He literally admits in episode one the women he#employs have no other financial options besides sex work…sure it’s not as bad as slavery but it’s rape it’s dehumanization it’s similar#I have a huge feeling this fandom won’t jump me for saying it is like that but just in case I’m scared bro I used to be on twitter man#Idk if I make sense in this post but I like that they kept this in a way!!! I like that even black Louis particates in awful horrid systems#And it’s not like no he would never do that he’s black. He lived in a bigoted era and he got successful.

today i succeeded at a quest called Enable Your Girlfriend To Eat Dinner Before 3AM and i feel reasonably good about it
#the quest had various perils#mainly 'they forgot the tupperware of leftovers in our kitchen and i had to bring it them at work'#which i scaled handily. and even managed to find a time window for them to pick it up when they were not in a BL3 sterile suit#and therefore unable to receive texts! total success#box opener#now we work two buildings apart and i had to go in to the lab anyway. so this was not one of the great trials of the age#but i still feel useful and filled with triumph#theres something very satisfying‚ when you are a person who constantly makes minor stupid disorganization errors‚#about being able to completely rescue someone else from any consequences of a minor disorganization-based error.#you can just unhappen it! it never occurred! no mild problems to be had!!#also 🌸 is deliriously beautiful and perfect and i got to SEE THEM at an UNEXPECTED TIME#which was thrilling for me. as it always is.

actually On Your Feet gave us two good things (well. three if you like Realize which I do). Kohane's "it's frustrating" line and the great crack fic idea of Vivid Bad Squad getting cancelled online for skipping school to yell at The Kotaki Taiga as he was about to go back to America.
#no because. he went there to continue radder's dream yeah? the one about becoming world successful musicians#and they had a record label for a bit. they were definitely going to make it at least somewhat.#so we can assume taiga is at the very least a semi well known musician yeah?#one that someone about to either leave or enter japan might know about. who will see this musician they enjoy#being shouted at by a high school girl in her school uniform about how they will surpass him or something along those lines#with three other kids (in uniform from a different school) standing behind her#and then going onto sekai universe twitter to post about it and the taiga kotaki fans taking it by storm#taiga gets off the plane in america and finds he's trending and it's because people are making fun of a blurry picture of his ex pupil#meanwhile vivid bad squad just don't know because it was contained entirely on twitter and.#be honest can you see any of them having twitter because i can't. an maybe but akito doesn't have time for social media and toya is toya#and kohane is a tumblr girlie if i've ever seen one#however it does give the great concept of someone else seeing it and debating if they should say anything#because mmj definitely has an official account they could have seen it on and also there's ena shinonome and mizuki akiyama#but anyway this also means when they do put on the event to surpass rad weekend (or whatever their goal ends up being)#there will be a crowd of people looking at it and going “isn't that the group of kids that twitter made fun of ages ago?”#and then taiga kotaki stans on sekai universe twitter will be stunned because they did in fact surpass him#if it wasn't for the gcses i would write this but alas. enjoy my weird thoughts#bagel's rambles#project sekai#i am scared to main tag this one but. fuck it we ball

every time im like oh the football industry can't possibly get any stupider the ifab will kamikaze its way off a building hollering at the top of their lungs that i should never ever ever underestimate them
#i ranted about this yesterday and thought i had got it out of my system#i apparently had not#ifab is like y'know what was a great success? our var implementation. let's do something more drastic#this makes NO SENSE#if you get sent to the penalty box does that mean you get a card?#if you get a card are you required to go to the penalty box?#is this just increasing severity of punishment for yc offenses without approaching rc level#or is it adding a third level of severity between the two#what happens if a player is ejected with two minutes left in the half#why do the rules need to change! people like this sport!#var for enforcement of existing rules is one thing okay like as frustrating as it can be i get it#but why would you want to FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THE SPORT#what is the end goal here with these changes#pls i beg of you someone make it make sense#soccer

am i hoping for bad things to happen to watcher? no!!! absolutely not!!! i really hope they continue to do great and pull in more people HOWEVER do i foresee bad things happening? yeah for sure…like just on a business level this was a horrible move and i have such mixed emotions because i WANT good things for them but that just…won’t happen
#watcher i still love you and i still want you to be so successful#but on a PURELY BUSINESS LEVEL this is so dumb#like just a bad idea#like they deserve to get good money for all that they do because they make GREAT content for us#and their employees deserve good wages because again…they do a lot to make such good quality stuff#but again….this isn’t going to work out#like im in college i don’t have enough money to pay for this :(#i still use my moms netflix :(#anyway#watcher#ghoul boys#we are watcher

i feel like i’ve been WAITING for the other shoe to drop wrt people’s opinions about watcher for this very reason. not that i think the reaction is completely not understandable but the greater the parasocial relationship, the greater the fallout as soon as public opinion shifts. you don’t have a relationship with these people they’re just content creators, chill
#ready to see all the people coming out of the woodwork to say how they’ve never liked watcher/unsolved/etc#and act like it’s ‘cringe’ now that their fanbase feels ‘betrayed’#it’s great to have a fanbase but parasocial relationships will bite you in the ass every single time#it’s interesting too though because i’ve seen watcher have a LOT of support as they’ve tried to build something separate from buzzfeed#so this is the first time they’re getting real pushback about a decision they’ve made wrt shifting their platform/expanding their brand#so ig we’ll have to see how they react moving forward#but it’s soooo interesting to see how enthusiastically people dump on buzzfeed#AND how many people dump on youtube and how over the years so much of its functionality has been stripped away#how many ads you have to sit through. how much sponsored content there is now. etc#but when they try to do the same thing with youtube that they did with buzzfeed it’s like how dare you not lick their boots#because if you lick their boots and we lick their boots we can watch stuff for free#anyway.#even if you don’t any to say it’s a bad business decision. it’s not like there’s not precedent for it#1) the move away from buzzfeed was successful and 2) what about the dnd shows or whatever#don’t you guys watch those dnd shows that are ‘behind a paywall’#don’t you guys have netflix hulu disney hbo amazon etc ad nauseum that are actually owned by billion dollar corporations#don’t you guys get on your high horses about supporting independent artists all the time#it’s interesting that people will profess to be such big fans!!! and feel like they’re friends!!!!#but how dare they think their work might be worth paying for#idk. idk. it’s entitlement though#sorry for the rant i’m ALSO not trying to blindly defend a bunch of people i don’t know#but you guys are being soooo fucking annoying about it lol#anyway i’m still waiting to see what their response is going to be from here before jumping to conclusions#also to be fair i am biased to be lenient about decisions made by independent filmmakers vs big studios etc#like everybody freaking out about the ai art used in late night with the devil. who cares honestly#‘they should’ve paid a real artist!!’ idk maybe their budget didn’t cover that#i don’t want it to become the industry norm but at the end of the day i would rather see indie shit getting made then only seeing#the big studios (who don’t have equitable practices anyway!!) making shit#but that’s another conversation. just to be transparent about my viewpoint on this kind of thing#maybe controversial but also can’t we have nuance. for once.

AND ANOTHER THING i do think it’s very clear who the dance 2.0 is going to involve when adwd opens with jon, dany, and tyrion. like lol, lmao, that’s not subtle. but that doesn’t mean tyrion is ALSO a secret targaryen. instead ✨my opinion✨is that this is implying that tyrion will be the real power behind One Of The Dragons Involved…and tyrion introduces us to this whole entire insane new plot line that seems to come from nowhere about a third dragon being alive.
and then we got f&b which is just like, a lot of different people jockeying to be the power behind whatever dragon is sitting that throne and how important that close advisor is to keeping any sort of control on power, which is again, not subtle aksjd. SO YEAH, i mean whether tyrion DOES everything he’ll get accused of is probably going to be of heavy debate, but that man isn’t name dropping viserys ii every other convo just to be a targaryen all along. he’s going to be corlys, he’s going to be otto, he’s going to be septon barth, he’s going to be his father writ small - the person actually pulling the strings behind a dragon, not a dragon himself. i think his part in the dance is going to be very similar to all of theirs, which is to say, the moment he rips his own power away from whatever dragon he picks, is the moment that dragon is slated for death. it’s the moment they are SCREWED.
#and for me like if he gets the chance to BE THE PERSON that topples their monarch that’s great.#like picking a side and using them to make sure tysha & lanna get casterly rock. lann the cleve ring and stealing it out.#and then things go south and he flips sides and the person he flipped from crashes and burns? that’s cool to me.#so much more satisfying than just like. ‘oh i was a cool targaryen unlike my dumb shit family’#he’s going to be what daemon WANTS to be lmao but he’s going to be more or less successful bc he’s going to keep his head.#what i’m hoping for here is that there’s still some sort of night’s watch (i’m not sure about rebuilding the wall im fuzzy here let me cook)#and that tyrion ultimately takes the black.#but his descendants still get casterly rock.#getting on my soap box#yes i’ve started back up adwd again it’s slow going but we’re moving
