#i mostly like the science man
Text
Has anyone talked about how each member of the Genius Society represents the over reliance on the belief of intelligence but not the act of intelligence?
#like they mostly take up resources and are pseudo-celebrities more than they do useful things#They act more as villains over consuming resources that could be put to better use#If anything more people should hate them#In universe not like as characters#but just like in real life - people don't notice how awful they actually are#I think at one point it's stated that Ruan Mei turned a desert planet into a lush jungle or something?#I cannot emphasize enough -- she fucked over that ecosystem. That was fucked up of her. She killed everything.#And people praised her for it! They don't care about science. They care about the prestige. She's famous. Nous chose *her*#Herta doesn't even do her own work. Nothing would get done if it wasn't for all of her assistants.#Screwllum is god-king of his own planet. I mean he also killed a god-king but you can't go around replacing one with yourself#Which is what makes Ratio so fun. He notices and calls them out.#but also in a way where it's hard to tell if there's jealousy involved or not.#And his version of intelligence is helpful. He gives back to his community. He cares about people first even if they annoy him.#The only Society members I respect are Stephen (baby); the one philanthropist (thin ice); the spider (awesome);#and the serial killer who kills other members who I strongly suspect to be Herta but that's another conversation entirely#Anyway I just think it's odd that they're an obvious analogy for how people think there is such as thing as “intelligence”#that can be declared by some all-knowing all-seeing creature and everyone else is “worthless” by comparison#to even be said as much by a character in the game#and the audience still thinks they're supposed to be smart.#Nous was created by an egotistical man who was himself first recognized by his own biased judging algorithm#The Genius Society isn't the epitome of intelligence they are Silicon Valley#like the parody is so fucking on point there are literal jokes in game if you pay attention

being super normal about White calling Billy "a dreamer"after the events of Maybe No Go
#truly alarming amount of tags on this post don't click read more fr#the venture bros#pete white#bily quizboy#billy whalen#idk man the way they balance each other is really interesting#the things they agree on and disagree on are almost arbitrary#'you can't put mouthwash in a cookie' 'trust me' vs 'we should spend 10 mil on a motorcycle instead of housing' 'that's such a cool idea'#billy trying to pep white up about the ball#'this was your dream too' like come on dude when have pete's dreams ever worked out#when have yours#'what are we gonna do now billy?' 'we'll cross that bridge when we come to it'#baby the bridge has never been more present#ALSO white calling billy the dreamer when HE'S the one who pushes so hard for things#billy has dreams that might not be realistic but they give him hope and he works around the way the world works to make things happen#like being a self-taught surgeon and believing in a magic ball#pete has dreams IN SPITE of what is realistic and he will mold reality to be what he wants in order to make it happen#like fixing the quizshow and pretty much everything that happened in invisible hand of fate#and they both have disabilities that affect them in vastly different ways and impact their relationship with realistic goals#like billy's hydrocephalus being presented to the audience as mostly a social issue for him and the hand and eye being marks of trauma#rather than like an actual block for him beyond needing to tune the hand up every now and then#vs white's albinism making him physically unable to be in direct sunlight and making him actively fearful of doing certain things and#being certain places#to be clear i know the actual effects of hydrocephalus as well as the hand and eye but this is based on how the show presents it#like billy took these things about himself into account and went ok these are part of my reality and i will work with them#and pete took his reality and went ok i will cover it up with fake tan and wigs or sunscreen and hats and make reality what i want it to be#and that's what makes them a good team!! that's why they science together well#it's also why they argue so much#accepting reality and playing within its constraints vs hating reality and changing it to suit you#these are the hallmarks of scientific progress

I am incredibly proud of this cover I made for a project so you guys have to look at it :3
#my art#marx kirby#marx kirby fanart#kirby#my ocs#this took me like two weeks because procrastination and as much as I love making art I am the most slowest person known to man#DO NOT GIVE MY ASS A DEADLINE I WILL NOT MAKE IT!!!!!#boo mario#dry bones#waddle dee#waddle doo#Jigglypuff#Sobble#Im so lucky my science teacher lets me mostly work at my own pace#I spend years thinking about poses and looking for references to use and then picking out the right colors#I am so incredibly proud of this :3#I would have drawn Taranza and Magolor but I got too scared because I am cringe but I am not free 🥀🥀🥀🥀#also I couldn’t find out how I wanted to draw them in the amount of time I gave myself :p#hence why five of my ocs are there instead#but their symbols are still there (magolors gears and a spider web for Taranza)#also I lost my good black color pencil which was so smooth on the paper 💔

me: *is overwhelmed by multiple WIPs, writing assignment, essays, and newspaper articles, and-*
my brain: time to plan a new WIP!
#....yeah i'm brining back my POTC fic...#revamping and redoing it...#gonna give it a more horror edge heehee#(and also enemies to lovers romance mayhaps... delphine and capt. salazar have very bold and unwavering willpowers + trauma lol)#(and delphine isn't afraid to stare literal death in the face and talk down to him like a mongrel)#(.....even if she's fucking terrified on the inside)#also now she has a soft spot for astrology but hardly talks about it because women in science bad#but it makes her lowkey decent (not great) at navigating so she uses 'navigating' as an excuse to just look at stars lol#also sorry to literally everyone idk if anyone here is in the POTC fandom or not...but.........yeah...#i kinda am but also not really (mostly not really)#i'm literally in it only bcs of the 5th movie because mmmmm javier bardem as n ugly brooding goth ghost man mmmmmmm gimme#but yeah this fic is a lot like 'serpentine whispers' where i glance over the lore of the story and run with what the movies give us#i just turn the canon characters into my personal dolls that i hope still resemble their canon counterparts lol

Tfw @composeregg showed me a bumper sticker last night and now we're both in the glorious hell of reading scientific articles about how time is fake and how scientists are testing that
#personal;#i have literally been saying that time is a man made construct since at least high school and people mostly just think i'm weird#but it fucking is!!!! imo that's part of why time travel as we currently understand it can't work#the way my 13-15yo self was validated when i saw the first article about it 2yrs ago gave me a high unrivaled#i was so annoying (for about an hr. no one i was talking to really engaged so the rsd kicked in and i shut up)#i've been listening to the quantum mechanics episodes of The Science of Everything today and like.#my guy is not a great teacher and they're mostly not the elements of it i'm super into but it's interesting#if i could do math my life would be so so so so different#i'd be in grad school for starters

it's a testament to how much I love my friend and how strongly I feel about tumblr as an art-sharing platform that I recommended she come to tumblr to share her art even though her doing so would inevitably lead to her following me on main
#I love you more than I hate the thought of you being privy to my personal blog#that said I do feel pretty safe in the knowledge that she is probably not going to come here lol#she had asked on stream where people ARE with their art and set up a poll-- in which most people responded twitter#which like. she was asking (mostly) other artists so idk but in MY experience artists have been flooding off twitter in droves#rats from a sinking ship#scattering to the various twitter-likes or returning here to the primordial seas#all of which I did also say in chat lol#jill after the poll ended: hang on I have to say 'you were right' to my husband :')#me: bestie I love him but your science teacher husband does not know shit about fuck about the art scene on twitter dot hell#to BE fair my personal metric for 'places to share art' has nothing to do with 'good places to Build An Audience'#and everything to do with formatting and lack of algorithms#tumblr is infamously not... like... a GROWING platform or anything lol. like man I dunno. it's rough out there in general#ANYWAY. bullet dodged I guess lol no irl friends allowed in here that weren't here from the beginning thanks#about me#irl frens

thinked thoughts so hard now i gotta lie on the floor about it
#haha me fr#but also this totally isnt about how i realised something about the main design choices for my valentine aus#like how it reveals more about them but only if you know things right?#ok so red is valentine’s favourite colour#cool? cool. and Valentine-A wears mostly red-ish colours#but Valentine-C wears mostly grey. and like both versions of valentine end up mostly similar despite having kinda different backstories#and how valentine-a quit his shit job after a year or so and it didnt matter too much#so he will gladly wear as much red as possible because if he wants to then he can..fight him about it#but valentine-c spent 2 more years in the job and has this whole thing about being useful to people#so he refuses to wear ‘too much’ red because he thinks he cant be useful if he’s too busy being himself#and i just- augh i am sat here with my cork board and red string having several coherent thoughts about my silly science man#also congrats for reading that if you did lmao#pet rock's evil monologue#something something valentine post

Now I'm not saying I'm making a dst roleswap au. But I am saying that I thought of an idea for a sort of take of Walter as Wanda and it's making me spin him a bit in my mind
#rat rambles#puts ur lil guy in a timeloop where he repeatedly inevitably succomes to the same curse (cutely)#and ok maybe I do have a few other ideas but whos to say if Ill act on them#on the one hand; wanda walter and wagstaff webber#on the other hand: you could not pay me to have a single idea abt wolfgang Im sorry#Id say wortox to but I already have the perfect plan to get him out of the picture and wilba in#sends him to hamlet land never to be seen again anyways wormwood and wurt swap also#oh and if I do elaborate on this this wont necesarily mean wanda is walter idk how Id make that work lol#Id probably do like a triangle sitch that allows her to keep some light elements of her og character#Im mostly thinking maybe abby can be the third character there? she gets to be the lil trail mix guy wanda gets to be haunted by her past#and future but literally this time and walter gets to experience the horrors#and wendy is probably like dead or smth lol#not necesarily tho if I can find another place for him#wait#wait wait wait#Id probably have to pull some real bullshit to make this work but what if wendy as wx#but ya this au is very theoretical rn as for it to rly become anything Id need to figure out wholl be charlie and maxwell and idk man#like what are my options like I could put wx there but then whos the other person fucking wagstaff?? no I didnt think so#idk itd be like. funny to make them maxwell and wilson charlie but idk if Id be satisfied with that#Im just imagining wx doing freak science and wilson being the kid they hand the unplugged controller to (metaphorically)#they have him there as an ego booster but then they get attatched and theyre just like fuck. ythink I can send him back or is it too late#but also then wilson would have to be charlie. and ppl might think I ship them. all in all not ideal#anyways I need to sleep gn

Barry is a dinosaur no matter how much the timeline floats around. He basically doesn’t have any social media other than Facebook and LinkedIn
#barry allen#anyway bear with me#this was floating around in my head for a while.#a social media fluent Barry I just. sorry . sorry I can’t work with that#like he can be AWARE. he doesn’t have to be comically out of his depth. and I like seeing those fake jl twitters.#but Barry is an old man at heart he’s always been behind the times and like. he’s mostly private.#even the LinkedIn is a stretch does he need it. he has never been anything but some sort of police science guy

the career advisor basically summed up and asked me if i wanna be an inventor? which us such a vague term idk what that even entails but yeah it does sound super cool afkldhl
#but i also kinda have like this thing where when sb else asks me if i want smth really enthusiastically.. i will enthusiastically agree#so like i have to think on that sjldhl#it seemed to me like she expected that I really wanna involve my chemistry education in what i do in the future#and idk how much i want that#like i think I'd want that to be a part of it in some way#but why does everyone expect me to like come up with something completely new#maybe it's the image i come up with myself tho#but sometimes i feel like ppl expect so much and i can really gove them so little..#sometimes ppl have a very mystical idea of science as well#new discoveries are mostly luck but also skill#like i did say that since i was young i was interested in the materials that packaging is made of#and i would like to invent a durable biodegradable alternative to plastic and stuff#but man it's really not as easy as you might imagine agpfdnofj#like ppl are STRUGGLING to invent a completely biodegradable plastic#some decay into microplastics instead#and another problem is they'd just dissolve#sometimes i do wonder if it's even worth the effort to try?#the thing is. i just wanna do something that would like let me see results .#every day at work#and research is just so long winded i don't have the mental energy for it?#well this was my daily diary entry

Thinking about the fact that I'm really bad about showing emotions. Through text/questions/irl, most of the time it doesn't show properly. My voice comes on as flat and doesn't properly intonate (esp when I'm tired). Questions I want to ask nicely doesn't show proper niceness...
#content#etalks#maybe that's why i relate more to donnie yknow#i like science and facts and logic#now i think I'm a emotional mess lol#mostly cause i had to look at what i want as a person#and being with life sounds scary now#not sad but not happy#sometimes i think it might be better to be like that#but now i know I'm lying to myself.#man. why am i having a crisis LOL#rant

i also just don't understand the neurochemical theory for ADHD i guess. i mean, as far as i can tell, stimulants have genuinely helped me a lot, especially with sensory overload and being able to activate focus at will more often. but they haven't changed the core part of me that just goes too fast, if that makes sense. when i was a kid, most of the adults around me were convinced that (and it sounds fucking stupid, sorry, i promise i am not making this up) i was like... so smart that i had excess neurons that fired so much it caused literally every symptom of ADHD you can imagine. sensory overload was because i had like, heightened senses and took in too much data, talking fast and on a train of thought was because i just thought faster than other people, stuff like that. it's definitely a lot better than being told i'm stupid and defective (though i got a fair bit of that too, depending on the adult), but pretty obviously pseudoscientific and also the reason i didn't get diagnosed till age 16 despite the extremely obvious flags i was throwing up. regardless, that explanation that my brain was simply structured differently, that i basically took in too much data too fast, always spoke to me a lot more than the idea that it's caused by my dopamine receptors only. i just don't generally link most of my symptoms to my emotions or adrenaline levels most of the time. certainly it plays a part, but the way i talk, the sensory stuff, and the way i learn and process new information seems to be largely unexplainable with dopamine levels.
#i suppose i am kind of also just describing autism#and it's entirely possible that i just have comorbidity going on#but psychiatry is far from an exact science and i can't help but wonder if there's more to it than brain chemicals and maybe its more to do#with electrical signals. god that sounds dumb i need to learn neuroscience#i hate gifted kid shit man it's so stupid. i had a good teacher for most of it that mostly just had us do like#typical stuff for autistic kids tbh. different puzzles and logic games some sensory stuff#she did a lot of cool stuff with different tests she had us take about learning styles and whatnot#but it's stuff most other kids could've benefited from so there was no real need to have it be its own program#also you got in on an iq test but got kicked out if your grades dropped which is dumb and kinda defeats the purpose#they probably should've given everyone iq tests at the beginning of each year and based it on that#...scientific legitimacy of iq aside#i do think there is some merit to the sort of horseshoe theory of intelligence they used#it was basically an ese class for high functioning adhd and autistic kids#and maybe high intelligence does cause neurodivergent symptoms but ive yet to find valid data to prove it#i mean i think most of the other kids wouldve found it boring but only with that one teacher#later teachers that my siblings had just had kids do projects and research stuff#i do think i would've acted out a lot more without that as an outlet for the ole noodle. also helped w executive dysfunction a ton#it just. could have been a regular ese class for kids w/o intellectual disabilities. the gifted label is dumb

List of my curses:
• Cassandra
• straight boys keep happening to me
#IM NOT EVEN INTO STRAIGHT GUYS. LIKE BY EXTENSION IM NOT ATTRACTED TO GUYS WHO ARE SUPER STRAIGHT ACTING OR WHATEVER LIKE SOME PEOPLE ARE#past two years I have had a number of crushes and I will grant that two of them? probably a little wishful thinking but not unjustified#BUT THIS GUY. THE CURRENT GUY. OH MY GOD#this guy wears ACTUAL LITERAL PRIDE SHOES. BECAUSE HE LIKES RAINBOWS.#on top of that he acts like a queer guy has mostly queer friends dresses way too nice bc he thinks straight man clothes are boring#doesn’t correct people when they assume he’s queer bc he gets this a lot! he’s literally just the coolest straight guy alive and it’s insane#i did not read this wrong at ALL he’s just insane and oh my god I love him. it’s fine I am so happy just being friends bc he’s great#like out of the five significant crushes of the past two years. we have had:#1. guy who also had rainbow stick tape. Everyone thought was gay. incredibly friendly and way too good at texting. EVERYONE THOUGHT WAS GAY#2. guy who I hadn’t talked to a whole lot but Kept talking to me and AGREED TO GO ON A DATE. AND THEN MADE IT DINNER.#because he thought it would be funny! actual complete prick but again not really a misread on my part!#3. guy who again mostly has friends who are queer. wore a dress to an event completely unprompted. again did not Act like a straight guy#4. probably the ONE time which was mostly me Hoping but I figured it out quickly enough after talking more to him. was just chill+long hair#5. TYPE OF GUY PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN TO SCIENCE WHO WEARS PRIDE SHOES DESPITE BEING STRAIGHT#homosexuality does not begin to explain the things going on here#BUT LIKE HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING IM REALLY NOT INTO STRAIGHT MEN#it sounds bad when I say yeah I keep having crushes on straight guys bc like come on man self respect BUT ITS NOT MY FAULT I SWEAR#apparently my type is incredibly chill straight guy who has gone past homophobia and come out the other end#some of them should try homosexuality instead I swear. like this is equally incredibly funny and so frustrating#gotta start checking guys’ gay cards as a requirement to talk to me#luke.txt

i really like tea but i havent been able to drink much in a bajillion years because as ive gotten a little bit older i've gotten even worse with hot drinks than i used to be and i dont have the time to wait for them to cool down OTL i mean i was always bad with hot things (i drink coffee with like half of the cup as cold milk to cool it down faster <3 ) but like now if a drink is like a degree too warm i die in real life
#when i was younger and i first heard the japanese phrase nekojita i was like#man thats wild it would suck to be bad with hot things huh#not realizing. that i am that. i am actively really bad with hot drinks JKFSHJHKFDS i can never buy coffee out because its too hot#i only ever buy iced coffee if its not coffee i made at home. even in the winter. king of iced coffee in the winter#people always go on about optimal drinking temperatures and im like NO i'll die. i will really die#steeping temps i get thats just the science of it but that also involves more wait time for me. if it steeps or brews at a high temp#im gonna have to wait like half an hour to drink it orz. TOO HOT too too hot. im just not good with hot drinks#FOOD im find with mostly i love hot food. not soup tho im bad with hot soup i need it to be like less hot. its about the liquids#brewster hates my ass. he has all my life
