for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal
before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"
and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"
#the truman show#sbs rambles#I keep thinking about how children on popular youtube channels should probably have laws to protect them#social workers assigned to them maybe#I dunno#they did not sign up to have their lives sold for profit#but here we are#tho#I guess none of us signed up for it#and our data is harvested more than ever#god#high-tech capitalism sucks turns out#OH WAIT because tumblr is bad at getting context sometimes#let me specify:#I am not saying that the movie The Truman Show is bad or that it normalizes this#like all good sci-fi (because it is kind of sci-fi) it's there to warn us of what the future could hold#and it did that in a very good way - it's a beautiful movie#I could see someone with a bad faith take assuming I meant that it was part of the problem#it absolutely wasn't. it didn't normalize this; we did#youtube did and social media#it's us that's the problem#or more specifically: big corporations and a lack of regulation#that's the origin of most modern problems

had a conversation with my mom and now i'm curious
If unsure, go grab yourself a pencil and compare to these examples:
"Correct" ways to hold a pencil:
(if you didn't know there were names for these, yea I had no idea either until I started looking stuff up lmao)
"Wrong" ways to hold a pencil:
I'm mostly curious as someone who has always held her pencil wrong. No matter what teachers/my mom ever did to try and teach me (pencil grips, elastic bands, etc) it just never worked. I wanna know how universal this experience is hdKJH
(rb for sample size, etc etc, the usual)
#clamtalk#polls#in my case it probably has to do with the joint hypermobility that my mom wasn't aware I had until too late to accommodate it#So i've always held my pencil in an index grip (or something somewhat like it; my index finger is higher up on the pencil than it should be#Also I put correct/wrong in quotes because like. While yes you could argue inherently there is a 'correct' vs. 'incorrect' way#regarding how much strain an incorrect grip can put on one's hands#I have never personally had issue with how i hold my pencil even if 'wrong.' The only problem I had was when my mom was trying#to force me to change it to hold it 'right.' Because that shit hurt my hands!#Once again probably due to the hypermobility!#So I dunno. Infinite Nuance etc

Has anyone else noticed that Ares lines in God Games mirror a lot of Eurylochus doubts throughout the earlier sagas? Especially the line about Scylla, and how it follows Aphrodite’s calling him a coward for spiting the Cyclopes. I just think it’s an interesting series of events. And it does stay tonally consistent - he’s a warrior of the mind. The important thing is looking at a situation and deciding the best course of action based on intelligence, not just killing everything in sight OR being motivated exclusively by lust/love. It’s a fun comparison between Ody/Athena and Eurylocus/Ares.
#epic the musical#odysseus#greek mythology#eurylochus#athena#ares#god games#I dunno I just think it’s interesting how they both advocate for violence#and get taken down a peg#by the idea that sometimes you have to think around the problem#bonking Scylla not an option

Thinking about possible fanfic/au idea, where Paper after the end of second season decides to leave Hotel for a while to develop his own self-identity outside of his life with OJ, and OJ, living without Paper for the first time in almost a decade, realises how codependent with him he actually became and how much of his mental state were tied to Paper being by his side. Both of them learn to live without one another and find their own separated support systems and when Paper eventually comes back (because, still, all of his friends live here, duh) we're both self-sufficient but still appreaciate each other's positive traits and now are able to form functioning healthy relationships...
Yeah I think about them a lot
#eugenedathinker#inanimate insanity#ii#ii oj#ii paper#payjay#sorry these two gay dumbasses completely consume my mind for a month now#i dunno i just love stories about couple which have to go through at least one break-up because they're mentally ill#also also#suitcase could leave hotel with paper too 'cause#a) she already feels like she's lost a track of time and everyone she knows just live without her#b) i suddenly fell in love with an idea of her and paper's friendship#but if for paper this decision to leave is his progression as a character#for suitcase it's a regression because she (just like mephone) actually starts to run from her problems and fears#instead of facing it#uhhhh it's a complicated dynamic#i might just write this fanfic after season is over

anyone else out there think severus is just a chronic pain haver. i know the dark mark pain is real, but i feel like he might be miserable in more ways than just mentally in other ways
#severus snape#hp fandom#like i could imagine him having joint problems or even anemia#also off topic but i don't rlly think he fits the gross gremlin archetype that i sometimes see#he seems sickly to me. moreover we actually dunno Why his hair is always greasy#i feel like he has some self respect at least to hold up a front to everyone#it's 3am if im speaking nonsense just sectumsempra me zzzzz

Do you ever have a ship that you prefer to look at out of the corner of your eye? Like, reading stuff focusing on them is fun, but there’s a special sort of joy that comes from seeing them do unhinged things at each other in the background of some greater narrative.
#fanfiction#look I know I have a Problem#some things are better seen in shards is all#it’s like the inverse of not describing things for Horror#Their overall narrative is unknown to me but I know SOMETHING is going on over there dangit#some of this might be appreciating the skill of the author for pulling this off correctly also I dunno#I suppose i should tag ships here but I don’t wanna be Percieved#hmmmmmmmm#dratchet#spirk#that ones kinda weird I know#edgewright#moshang#chakotay/janeway#there are more but they are also a secret <3#what’s life without its little mysteries#the real secret I think is I don’t care if they kiss in my presence as long as I can visibly see the Tension radiating off them in waves

I did the equivalent of mentally rising from my bed like a vampire rising from their coffin yesterday as I was trying to sleep as a thought struck me; There's a high chance there's a verse of the PrincessLuz AU where Belos *doesn't* kick the bucket early or pre-story start, and for Reasons Luz and Hunter has to make a run for it from the castle (Belos is about to kill Hunter and Luz gets a good hit in before they book it. Or Hunter walks in on the Nightmare Dinner Scene and they make a run for it. Many options.) and Belos proceeds to spin a heartwrenching, complete bullshit lie how the Golden Guard has lost it and abducted his beloved daughter and who knows what he will do to her. Not directly stated but highly implied that Hunter is now Kill On Sight.
Meanwhile Amity, at undecided rate of knowing Luz+Hunter well but knowing Hunter would rather break his own bones than purposefully make even a scratch on Luz, is watching this all unfold like "uuuuhhh, Doubt™". And if she has the luck of running into them, well she can't kill Hunter! For reasons. And Luz seems to really not want to go back. Maybe one of the scouts she's with is about to hit Hunter and she just- moves without thinking. Knocks the fucker out and oh that sure is a choice she can't take back. Fuck guess she's a deserter now.
At the castle we have the separate but synchronised freaking out of Darius, Raine, and Lilith, who are Losing Their Minds over them being out there and actively being hunted down to be brought back to the saw trap that is the Emperor's Castle. Possible team-up after Darius and Raine see how hard Lilith is spiralling and she lets something slip?? But also laughing over the possibility of Lilith swallowing her pride and going to Eda for help. Maybe with some pressure from Darius and Raine. Eda opening the door to three Coven Heads, one being her estranged sister and one her ex, and she wonders if the appleblood she had yesterday was spiked with something.
MMM YES YES YES EXCELLENT CONCEPTS. poor amity rapid-cycling between "luz is clearly fucking Terrified of belos and i'll be damned if i drag Anybody back to their abusive parent" and "oh titan. i just chose HUNTER over LILITH".... poor girl. im love her.
a while back there was a timeline where luz hunter and vee ran away several years pre-fic-canon... i could see events unfolding here similarly. "okay, we'll be found on the isles, we either have to sneak through the castle portal or eda clawthorne's portal so we can hide out in the human world" <-three people who don't realize Just How Out-Of-Place a group of scruffy obviously unhoused teens will be in suburban connecticut.
#can u imagine if they convince eda to give them portal access tho. and THEN lilith darius and raine show up#'ohhh THOSE dumb kids. yeah i dropped them in connecticut 💕' 'you did What' 'what. it's not my problem!!!'#enchanting.#toh#replies#princess luz au#i dunno what to call this one bc we already have runaway timeline. help.#princess luz au deserter timeline#ty no-white-dress

I'm still not completely onboard with the term (and the little existing theory around) "transandrophobia" and I'm hesitant about discourse surrounding it. I've spent a while now just combing through discourse about it, and specifically I never see people engage with the actual points he (the coiner) makes about what transandrophobia is and isn't. Or at least that one specific post I come back to, I dunno. I've searched "transandrodorks" even for it and I've never seen a comprehensive rebuttal that these things don't specifically impact trans men and transmasculine people.
But one thing I see a lot about is how people don't like the term because it implies "androphobia." But doesn't that indisputably exist? Like the term in of itself, the literal meaning you could take out of it. Fear of men/masculinity.
Granted, I believe the literal definition is that a phobia is irrational, but I don't necessarily believe that of "androphobia." I think someone could be completely justified in their fear. But having that fear even in a completely rational and reasonable way doesn't change the fact that it can manifest in ways that harm people.
Also, even if "androphobia" implies that men are/masculinity is oppressed (i.e. how homophobia relates to homosexuality, homophobia not always being caused by literal fear), would cisgender men really adopt a term used by transgender men and transmasculine people like this? Am I not conceptualizing the doom that would be upon us if "transandrophobia" were even a little bit known? I don't know.
I'm still reading about transmisogyny and just the idea of transmasculinity at all, so this is not my #1 concern right now. But everytime I see a post about trans male and transmasculine specific oppression, I often feel it's written in bad faith. Could this be my own transmisogyny and unwillingness to give transfeminists the benefit of the doubt? Am I tone policing in my head? I don't know.
I'm not incredibly knowledgeable about theory at all. This topic has only been on my radar since I started following twitter discourse but I think it started on Tumblr.
#transandrophobia#discourse#anti transmasculinity#i hate the term transmisandry honestly#it's so loaded#like actual crypto twerfs and transmisogynists have a field day with it#The last paragraph isn't to argue that transandrophobia proponents have been uniquely kind or anything#or uniquely in good faith#transmisogyny is still a huge issue in these spaces#but the person who coined it specifically doesn't seem to have this problem#and the posts by transandrophobia posters#i don't expect them to change my opinion generally#when i read ones by people arguing against transandrophobia as a concept#im consciously trying to be unconvinced#like transandrophobia posters on twitter are annoying and often problematic as all hell#do i feel attached to the concept and am therefore more unwilling to be “unconvinced” of it because i want it to be real#I LIKED ST-DIONYSUS' POST ABOUT IT#i dunno#textpost#my post

i'll ask here cause i think yall will give me the answer but-
I'm considering upgrading Clip Studio to the 2.0 version. I was looking around, and it said that you're required to have internet to use the program. Tbh I didn't trust the answer cause it was from reddit and going to the clip studio website I was still confused cause idk if they meant the app clip studio where you download assets and such or the art program itself. So i just wanted some clarification on that
#i have the last 1.0 version and it tends to freeze on me at times#doubt its my laptop its less than a year old so i dunno!#unless if someone can help me fix that problem I'm fine#i dont urgently need the upgrade im just getting frustrated that the program freezes on me at times#txt

"Zira" "Azi" "Az" SIGHHHHHH
is anybody else irritated at the widespread fandom nicknaming of Aziraphale and fucking nobody else? is that just me? because it really feels like a "oooh [wince-hisses through teeth], no, that's too long and weird. that's too hard. i'm gonna call you This instead" situation, and i do not care for it. it pissed me off when i was writing good omens fanfic thirteen years ago and it pisses me off now. you care enough about everyone else to get their names right, all the unusual demon and angel monikers, but oh no, Aziraphale, oh that's ten whole letters, that's way too long. oh you're not gonna bother to type all that, no, his name is just Zira now.
and like, he's not real, so this super duper does not matter and isn't deeply and incredibly shitty the way it is when it's directed at real people. but it still rubs me the wrong way every time i see it. that's not his name! why is his name not good enough for you to take the time to type out the way you do for everyone else! ugh.
#i dunno. i dunno.#i am hoping posting this gets it off my chest and helps me stop being quite as fucking annoyed about it#this isn't directed at any one person#this is widespread#i haven't seen nicknaming to this degree in ANY other fandom#which is why i can't just tell myself it's a friendly nickname because he's likeable and familiar or whatever#it's definitely a Me Problem but there's so many good posts i haven't reblogged#or have sighed while reblogging or just straight up have stopped reading because of this#i do realize that for a lot of folks#it's probably just that they've seen other people doing it and figured it's just part of the good omens fandom culture#i don't care :/#NOBODY ELSE gets nicknamed like this#aziraphale#good omens#good omens meta#dal is a rage demon#it's been long enough that i think i can add these tags now without it hitting the top of the tag as a 'hate tag'
