I am supposed to have a 4 hour class this afternoon, and it's a "new" teacher. As in : it's the 1st time that he is giving us a lecture this year, but he was already here previous year. Just for some reasons the class has 2 teachers, and it's finally the turn of this man.
That class is scheduled to start at 2pm, it's currently 2'30pm and he is NOT here. We have no mail nor anything telling us that the class is canceled-
We are afraid that he forgot about us since it's his 1st week (But come on man, it's the week RIGHT AFTER the spring break, it's easy to keep in mind). I don't know at which point I need to give up...
#icare has uni troubles#i don't think that he'll come#we are currently waiting for 2 people that went to ask faculty reception#but yeah#it is long#people are giving up btw#update : he was supposed to send us an email to tell us that the lecture was canceled#he hadn't.#no thanks sir

i though it would be fun to try my hand at drawing the new ghoul cowboy character from the tv show with a retro twist! a little more in line with the older fallout style, just for fun, though this is a mishmash between a bunch of different ghoul design elements from 1 - 4. the mouth split and eye cover is pretty old school, but his facial features are more modern
i was thinking of fun ways to make him emote. eventually i landed on this, keeping his bottom lip and having the skin split as a body language supplement!
#fallout#fallout tv series#the ghoul#rochedotpng#i don't think that his left eye is permanently sealed over i think it functions like a very big eyelid#he won't have it open all the time because it will hurt but he'll use it to aim down his rifle#fun experiment! still based on walton goggins though it's a little hard to tell#looking forward to the tv show#coming closer to a good watercolour workflow for corel#fallout ghoul

I saw people talking about that scene where Yassen shot Max as a huge betrayal of Alex and it's kinda funny to me like yeah he involved Alex in a murder but also I cannot emphasise enough that Alex decided to join a criminal organisation. People have been telling him he'll need to kill for days now, Alex has watched them kill multiple people already, I get that it sucks for him but you cannot team up with a known killer and be that shocked when actually his secret extra mission was to kill
#alex rider spoilers#alex rider#yassen gregorovich#alex x yassen#alex rider tv#like hot take i guess but actually i don't think he lied to alex when alex asked him about why he was coming#he just avoided the question and said something else that's true (and is part of his underlying reason for coming)#he already told alex he wouldn't just tell him everything like mrs jones might#it's the way yassen has been working for a decade and a half. you get told the essentials and don't ask questions#not answering alex's questions and holding back info/not sharing all the details of yassen's part of the mission is not the same as lying#i mean i guess the real issue here is that alex does not want to kill or be involved in a murder#which is not something yassen and scorpia have ethical concerns about ashdflhs#and is something they have basically told him he'll need to get over already#once again i cannot stress enough that alex is literally surrounded by known killers and teamed up with them

Ok, I think I have a pretty good idea of why a lot of Akechi's dialogue is... like that.
So, even before his confidant truly started, I noticed that he has a real knack for directing the flow of a conversation. This is very fitting for someone who is both a detective and skilled at interviews - when there is a topic and a goal, Akechi is in his element.
All this to say, he's actually kind of controlling when it comes to conversational flow. He probes for information, or turns the conversation around to a particular topic, usually the Phantom Thieves. He manages to take a few of Joker's dialogue options and spin them so they sound mildly incriminating in the context he's placed them in - the only way to truly get around this is to pick answers that feign indifference, and even then, that's more than a bit telling. He's clearly very good at this kind of thing.
But then, we get conversations where either Joker does something he didn't expect, or else he doesn't have a particular goal in mind - and the conversation stutters. In the first instance, Joker does something (a particularly egregious example is putting his glasses on him and fluffing his hair in rank 3) which both leaves him wrong-footed and no longer in perfect control of the situation. He just kind of... freezes, for awhile. It's hilarious. He has no idea how to respond.
He picks up control again in the phone call afterwards, having chosen to play into it, turning this "fooling the crowds" into a kind of game or secret between them. Nice save.
But in instances where there isn't an obvious topic and the goal is somewhat nebulous, for instance, that one Leblanc scene, it becomes pretty apparent that Akechi doesn't have the right "script" to go off of. Again, it's particularly notable in that scene, because I'm fairly sure he didn't have any specific reason to be at Leblanc, other than him looking for a quiet spot now that public opinion has turned on him. And because there isn't anything specific he's digging for, he kind of just ends up throwing things at the wall to see what will stick. Probing for any kind of recognizable reaction that he can jump on and work with, and that just doesn't really happen in this scene.
He references Sae, a woman in a respectable position, to Sojiro, but instead of that netting a welcome, it earns his ire, given Sae's recent actions against him. He then tries to greet Joker, his... rival? friend? enemy? person who at least seems to somewhat enjoy spending time with him? But Joker's responses are somewhat short, and Akechi practically wilts. He tries to commiserate by oversharing. He tries to involve Futaba and reaches out for the only topic of interest he can think of around "young people". He compliments the coffee. He compliments Joker. He tries to invoke that connection between them. None of it is really sticking, nor does it serve as a jumping off point for him to steer the conversation, or even really start one.
So, he basically just ends up having a one-sided chat with himself and then leaves. Hilarious. Also a little sad, if I'm being honest. It's really giving "guy with no friends who only knows how to speak to adults" energy. If there's no specific purpose to the exchange, or he is not in control of its direction, he seems to be kind of out of his depth. He succeeds only in being a little awkward and confusing, more than anything.
#quick note! i still have not finished the game! please avoid spoilers also i am aware i could be very wrong here. pls be kind if i am yeah?#of course#I am going from an in-universe standpoint for fun.#I am positive it's because writers needed to shoehorn in information and it ended up making the flow of conversation awkward as a result#but i digress#i still think there's merit to this reading though because even outside of flow his word choices and some of the kind of#intense things that he'll say#really do come across as 'guy who doesn't know how to talk to people and is basically just pushing for a reaction he can work with'#anyways. just my random thoughts again#i still don't get this dude but#pretty sure he's a control freak. pretty sure he's also lonely. bad combination.#storyrambles#story plays persona 5#p5r#i think this counts as analysis. it got a bit longer than i was expecting ->#call me ace detective the way i am ace. and also a detective#analysis tag becomes kind of funny when it's about this character in particular haha#goro akechi

(and to getting it back without someone else coming along with it)
bear with me. please keep an open mind. however if you don't want aimless details of this scenario feel free to ignore, there's really not much plot just context.
in this one ame botches a manic magic portal ritual and gets decapitated by accident, and his head disappears but his body is still somewhat sentiment? its not particularly intelligent but it still functions (comically). canada takes his body to england (arthur bc this isn't nationverse anymore) to open a proper portal and him and the body then head (haha) into the unknown dimension to retrieve his head.
meanwhile ame (just a head) is found by rus who is a kind of demon entity of that dimension... they have a "humans are lame" plan to find ame another body and make him an entity too, rus claims it's so he has a friend but ame would be more of a servant by magic system rules and would not be able to return home without the other (not that he knows. rus does though). cana plans to turn ame normal. 🤦♂️...
bottom line is, cana (and ame, independently from eachother) squealing like a girl because the demon world is scary, the inherent freakiness of whatever they have going on, iykyk iydyd, ame body walking into walls and ame head carried like a lantern by the scarf and talking to rus. i also like the idea of them somehow messing something up and all three ending up back in the human dimension, except ame is still in two pieces and whatever rus touches visually starts to spiral so they have to go back and fix something. a few more episodes should come after this. ill let you know when i settle on an ending. yay!
#slop#aph russia#aph america#aph canada#rscnm#ruscaname#myart#*microphone in hand* and kalashnikovlobotomy how much did you enjoy MADK?#A LOT!#rusame secondary plan is ame thinking if he gets cool powers he'll totally find and save cana from the scary demon world and everything#will be okay.#i want to go madk mode on rusame in this. i didn't even think about it until writing this.#don't trust what google says abt madk btw there's a lot of nuance that is lost unless you read it. come to a real crazy person about it (me#decapitation cw#make no mistake that's not russia s hand on cana s shoulder that's the body! his hand is the thing waving#tee hee

Pac: How can we live without Forever, you know? I don't know how– Like, I have already lost– I have already lost like, in a way, like Richarlyson, I have already lost like Mike, I have already lost like Walter Bob– I can't lose Forever, you know? I can't lose him.
Fit: It's gonna be ok, Pac.
#Pactw#FitMC#QSMP#Don't hate me for this. I'm going through my clips and this absolutely gutted me#:(#Me too Pac#People are talking about who's going to miss Forever most (hint: it's Richarlyson)#but I don't think people realize just how much Pac is going to miss him too#The Favela Six... now the Favela Five again :(#Forever loves QSMP though I'm sure when Stonkscraft is over he'll come back#it'll just be a while#But! I'll wait to hear from him before feeling too glum#October 10 2023#Fit#Pac

Friendly reminder that before Mr.D cured him, Chris had gotten so bad after months of being in his state that he was actively refusing to eat or drink and had become unresponsive.
Chiron literally told Percy he had "lost the will to live"
And then he just became Clarisse's ex-Kronos Army Boyfriend for a book and was dropped.
My gods why is Rick so bad at exploring side characters with severe trauma outside of who they are with their partners (eyes will/Solangelo)
#mine#pjo#percy jackon and the olympians#percy jackson and the olympians#pain rambles#chris rodriguez#botl#pjo botl#Clarisse/Chris#chrisse#clarisse la rue/chris rodriguez#Solangelo#vaguely#seriously tho#that would've been SO interesting to explore#but nope#iirc his last scene was him telling Percy and the others to continue on and that he'll stay with Clarisse#as well as getting sad about Silena#i don't think he comes up for the rest of the book?#will is bad#but at least he gets SOME character outside of Nico#every scene of Chris in tlo is supporting Clarisse and often by proxy Silena#which are cute scenes#but please Rick i want more 😭

liam: specifically makes orym a character that is actively biased and brings up his bias on a near-constant basis to goad other party members into challenging his viewpoints but has insofar failed to get anywhere outside of introspection he takes upon himself because they're all convinced he's supposed to be the moral core of the group rather than someone they need to question because he's comparatively "normal" and his problems/traumas are more grounded than theirs
matt planning on taking out orym's kneecaps with a bat come thursday:
#🍃#critical role#critrole#cr spoilers#pry open his teeny little eyes at the horrors of the world he's missing#there is SO MUCH SHIT that these people can and will get mad at them for that he's positive they'll be cool with. his hubris#like such as 'the gods are just like us!' aaaaaand you're toast#will he 180? lmao no i doubt he's coming down from thinking he's melora's specialest lil boy any time soon but!#you worry he'll never change but i say I Think Being Threatened By Multiple Heads Of State may potentially affect a man#also no i don't blame everybody else for not pushing the little guy because he's kinda going along with it

Do you conlang? I was wondering if you had naming languages (or possibly even more developed ones) for pulling the words you use. I tried to search your blog but didn't find anything, wouldn't be surprised if the feature is just busted tho. Your worldbuilding is wonderful and I particularly enjoy the anthropological and linguistic elements.
Ok the thing is I had kind of decided I was not going to do any conlanging because I don't feel like I'm equipped to do a good job of it, like was fully like "I'm just going to do JUST enough that it doesn't fail an immediate sniff test and is more thoughtful than just keysmashing and putting in vowels". And then have kinda been conlanging anyway (though not to a very deep and serious extent. I maybe have like....an above average comprehension of how language construction works via willingness to research, but that's not saying much, also I can never remember the meanings of most linguistic terms like 'frictives' or etc off the top of my head. I'm just kinda raw dogging it with a vague conceptualization of what these things mean)
I do at least have a naming language for Wardi (and more basic rules for other established languages) but the rudimentary forms of it were devised with methods much shakier and less linguistically viable than even the most basic naming language schemes, and I only went back over it LONG after I had already made a bunch of words so there's some inconsistencies with consonant presence and usage. (This can at least be justified because it IS a language that would have a lot of loanwords and would be heavily influenced by other language groups- Burri being by far the most significant, Highland-Finnic and Yuroma-Lowlands also being large contributors)
The 'method' I used was:
-Skip basic construction elements and fully move into devising necessary name words, with at least a Vibe of what consonants are going to be common and how pronunciation works -Identify some roots out of the established words and their meanings. Establish an ongoing glossary of known roots/words. -Construct new words based in root words, or as obvious extensions/variants of established words. -Get really involved in how the literal meanings of some words might not translate properly to english, mostly use this to produce a glossary of in-universe slang. -Realize that I probably should have at least some very basic internal consistency at this point. -Google search tutorials on writing a naming language. -Reverse engineer a naming language out of established words, and ascribe all remaining inconsistencies to being loanwords or just the mysteries of life or whatever.
I do at least have some strongly established pronunciation rules and a sense of broad regional dialect/accents.
-'ai' words are almost always pronounced with a long 'aye' sound.
-There is no 'Z' or 'X' sound, a Wardi speaker pronouncing 'zebra' would go for 'tsee-brah', and would attempt 'xylophone' as 'ssye-lohp-hon'
-'V' sounds are nearly absent and occur only in loanwords, and tend to be pronounced with a 'W' sound. 'Virsum' is a Highland word (pronounced 'veer-soom') denoting ancestry, a Wardi speaker would go 'weer-sum'.
-'Ch' spellings almost always imply a soft 'chuh' sound when appearing after an E, I, or O (pelatoche= pel-ah-toh-chey), but a hard 'kh' sound after an A or U (odomache= oh-doh-mah-khe). When at the start of a word, it's usually a soft 'ch' unless followed by an 'i' sound (chin (dog) is pronounced with a hard K 'khiin', cholem (salt) is pronounced with a soft Ch 'cho-lehm')
-Western Wardin has strong Burri cultural and linguistic influence, and a distinct accent- one of the most pronounced differences is use of the ñ sound in 'nn' words. The western city of Ephennos is pronounced 'ey-fey-nyos' by most residents, the southeastern city of Erubinnos is pronounced 'eh-roo-been-nos' by most residents. Palo's surname 'Apolynnon' is pronounced 'A-puh-lee-nyon' in the Burri and western Wardi dialects (which is the 'proper' pronunciation, given that it's a Kos name), but will generally be spoken as 'Ah-poh-leen-non' in the south and east.
-R's are rolled in Highland-Finnic words. Rolling R's is common in far northern rural Wardi dialects but no others. Most urban Wardi speakers consider rolling R's sort of a hick thing, and often think it sounds stupid or at least uneducated. (Brakul's name should be pronounced with a brief rolled 'r', short 'ah' and long 'uul', but is generally being pronounced by his south-southeastern compatriots with a long unrolled 'Brah' sound).
Anyway not really a sturdy construction that will hold up to the scrutiny of someone well equipped for linguistics but not pure bullshit either.
#I actually did just make a post about this on my sideblog LOL I think in spite of my deciding not to conlang this is going to go full#full conlanging at some point#The main issue is that the narrative/dialogue is being written as an english 'translation' (IE the characters are speaking in their actual#tongues and it's being translated to english with accurate meaning but non-literal treatment)#Which you might say like 'Uh Yeah No Shit' but I think approaching it with that mindset at the forefront does have a different effect than#just fully writing in english. Like there's some mindfulness to what they actually might be saying and what literal meanings should be#retained to form a better understanding of the culture and what should be 'translated' non-literally but with accurate meaning#(And what should be not translated at all)#But yeah there's very little motivation for conlanging besides Pure Fun because VERY few Wardi words beyond animal/people/place names#will make it into the actual text. Like the only things I leave 'untranslated' are very key or untranslatable concepts that will be#better understood through implication than attempts to convey the meaning in english#Like the epithet 'ganmachen' is used to compliment positive traits associated with the ox zodiac sign or affectionately tease#negative ones. This idea can be established pretty naturally without exposition dumps because the zodiac signs are of cultural#importance and will come up frequently. The meaning can get across to the reader pretty well if properly set up.#So like leaving it as 'ganmachen' you can get 'oh this is an affectionate reference to an auspicious zodiac sign' but translating#it as the actual meaning of 'ox-faced' is inevitably going to come across as 'you look like a cow' regardless of any zodiac angle#^(pretty much retyped tags from other post)#Another aspect is there's a few characters that have Wardi as a second language and some of whom don't have a solid grasp on it#And I want to convey this in dialogue (which is being written in english) but I don't want it to just be like. Random '''broken''' english#like I want there to be an internal consistency to what parts of the language they have difficulties with (which then has implications for#how each language's grammar/conjugation/etc works). Like Brakul is fairly fluent in Wardi at the time of the story but still struggles#with some of the conjugation (which is inflectional in Wardi) especially future/preterite tense. So he'll sometimes just use the#verb unconjugated or inappropriately in present tense. Though this doesn't come across as starkly in text because it's#written in english. Like his future tense Wardi is depicted as like 'I am to talk with him later' instead of 'I'll talk with him later'#Which sounds unnatural but not like fully incorrect#But it would sound much more Off in Wardi. Spanish might be a better example like it would be like him approaching it with#'Voy a hablar con él más tarde' or maybe 'Hablo con él más tarde' instead of 'Hablaré con él más tarde'#(I THINK. I'm not a fluent spanish speaker sorry if the latter has anything wrong with it too)

and they were singin', bye-bye Miss American Pie // american oldie i think kuwabara unironically listens to
(low effort lyric edit im queueing here in May cos im probably gonna forget it exists otherwise)
#qeued post#for June cos hey pride#the idea of kuwa seeing his friends in a holy almost godly light namely yusuke#and having them all leave unexpectedly#cos before that night at Genkai's i feel like it was solidified in kuwa's brain DESPITE the sidekick complex#DESPITE the fact that he's human and the least powerful member they are still decidedly a team#A team he has a place on. But then all suddenly springing this... YUSUKE springing this departure on him. shatters that belief#yusuke says he'll be back and it seems to make things better but even so kuwabara's face still looks so solemn when he leaves#Likely cos he knows yusuke is just saying shit and doesn't even know if it's possible to come back#this wasn't supposed to be a kuwameshi post it's really not but there's always that undertone when i talk about them so#He just admires them all so much yusuke above all others only to be left behind and that's gotta fuckin hurt#The way we don't see the resolution to this feeling. The lack of belonging the abandonment#next time we see him he's just supposed to be over it but we don't really know if it actually happened#So I like to play with the idea of like . Did he really like healthily accept things or#did he just repress it and deal. Cos like eng dub he tells yusuke ''forget all that stuff I said'' immediately taking back#his harsh words bc it's either stay mad stay upset or quickly forgive and move on cos this could be the last time. or even the jdub#where he doesn't even allow the vulnerability to show enough to trail off he just spouts the normal shit bc it's what they DO he immediatel#tries to get back to the normal dynamic and push himself to being fine with it right now bc he doesn't have the luxury of being upset#when it doesn't matter cos yusuke's leaving. the last thing he hears from him shouldnt be reckless shit he was saying when he lashed out#aka i dont think kuwa's feelings get seriously addressed enough and this episode haunts me cos of that very fact#Im not making any sense. Nico as my witness I swear I was more eloquent yapping to him about it#kuwabara kazuma#yu yu hakusho#kuwameshi

o my god my baby boy is SO HANDSOME!!!!!!!!
I dropped him off to board with his handler for a week while our foster girl recovered from her spay surgery and so his handler has been blessing me with photo and video updates.
She sent me this pic, which DID have more pinks in it from her camera and I wanted to keep those pinks but when I went to edit it... I really like this photo.
The leash he was on has been edited out by me so don't worry yourself thinking he was off leash in a strange place. The person boarding him is one of the only people I would ever trust to drop him off for a full week.
Look at my little man and his sunset photo 😍🥰😍🥰😍 SO handsome, SO demure
#cane corso#scoops#scoops troop#my pets#god just look at him#Sarah - the woman watching him - has also just inflated my pride in this boy because while she DID show him for me#she never spent a lot of time with him just one on one#but now that she's boarding him she was like 'Scoops is welcome in my home whenever you need to board him - he's a really great dog'#I told her I was just waiting for his 'aggression' to come in and she was like 'nah - I don't think he'll ever be aggressive without reason#that was like ... not a knife to the heart in a BAD sense but a knife to the heart in the sense that I feel validated and relieved#Scoops is truly a dog that will succeed and excel in ANYTHING I ask him to do - he's so on board for whatever comes his way#but he's also just.. he's SUCH a lover#and while he's shown his guardian chops by barking/defending me... he's also very good at calmly observing potential threats#and not just barking at any person that walks on our sidewalk(Cossima did not differentiate)#what? Are you telling me I miss my dog? Nonsense!!! I don't miss him at all.........

bodyguard aki... whew.... he's always at your side and you know he's strong enough to protect you, yet still he's stern to everyone else, and the absolute sweetest to you... so kind, always looking out for you more than his job requires, willing to listen to your personal matters or be a shoulder for you to cry on. he opens doors for you, holds your hand as you step out of your limo, extends his arm for you to hold onto when there's a crowd... you trust him more than anyone in the world...
#and thinking of u secretly crushing on him when you know you shouldn't#eventually things escalate and you're making excuses#saying you don't feel comfortable in your home so you'd like aki to come and stay the night#asking him to help you take off your heels and unzip the back of your dress and take off your necklace#and then asking if he'll stay with you in your bedroom#haaanndddsoommeee........ gah#saw some bodyguard aki fanart now I can't stop thinking#aki <3

pitched battle inside my brain between the part of me that's desperately shaking myself by the shoulders going "YOU HAVE GOT TO ACTUALLY LIVE THE KIND OF LIFE YOU IMAGINE INSTEAD OF JUST SITTING AROUND IMAGINING IT UNTIL YOU DIE!!" and the part of me that's clutching my face going "is this allowed? is this allowed?? is this allowed???"

I am begging people giving U.S. politics commentary to have, just, a basic, basic, 6th grade citizenship class level of understanding of the relationship between the branches of government. Please. You will not get icky electoralism cooties if you learn that "Whoever is the president right now is responsible for decisions the supreme court hands down right now" is nonsense.
#not only did you not pay attention in school#you obviously didn't pay attention in church camp#when they diligently instructed a bunch of kids who couldn't vote yet#that when we COULD vote we had to vote for antiabortion presidential and senate candidates#because the president appoints federal judges and the senate confirms them#draw the little chart#and if we all work very hard to elect antiabortion presidents and senators#Roe would be overturned in a few decades#and indeed#a couple of decades later#who could have FORESEEN?#your right-wing uncle who thinks the government is making the frogs gay#and that gay immigrants are coming to take his guns and his women#has a better understanding of the relationship between the presidency and the federal judiciary than you do#because this is fucking emphasized in right wing circles!#while y'all are like#“well actually Dobbs happened under BIDEN I am very clever”#“ha ha what do you mean if reelected he'll restore Roe he's elected right now ha ha”#Biden is waiting for the current justices to die Brenda#I don't even like Biden! I'm voting for him very reluctantly!#you people's piss poor civics understanding is making me defend Joseph Robinette Biden!
