WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WANT "INSTRUCTIONS," I JUST GAVE THEM TO YOU
#knitting#no it's not a real pattern but I can't write one that makes sense because I have no freaking clue what any of that means#How do you make things that aren't basic rectangles#Why has every knitter I've asked for help just said 'patterns are easy; you just have to know how to read them' & then refused to teach me#Where do I even find a goat to sacrifice#How do I join the pattern cult#I am so confused#I've been knitting for almost a decade but I can only make scarves and potholders#I learned one (1) stitch by watching a YouTube video and none of my friends or family knit so I have no IRL resources#And nobody I meet seems to want to take the time to explain the rest to me#I taught myself to sew through trial and error but that doesn't really work with knitting because error is pretty much just... Unraveling?#Anyway sorry for the tag rant I'm just frustrated that I see pretty things I want to make but the instructions are in an alien language#And the gap between 'absolute novice' and 'intermediate' seems to be about 20 years of experience and formal instruction

It's a really weird feeling watching the DMC anime (I had to sit through it twice btw) and being disappointed by it because all I can notice are things it got *wrong*, meanwhile most of the people around me like it and have no problem handwaving the issues with "well it's a reimagining/it's not canon". Yet the more I think about it, the more I find myself being annoyed by even small things that weren't handled well or barely made sense, and the more I find myself disliking it.
...Especially the last episode and that fucking green day 'murica montage. Like what the actual fuck was that?
#devil may cry#dmc anime#if sparda was a “deadbeat” why does dante have rebellion...#they put more effort into the white rabbit's oh-so tragic backstory than trying to explain important shit. he got a wholeass episode#way to sideline DANTE to give the villain more context (and Lady... if you can even say that's her bc it barely is lbr)#even little shit bugged me like: why are child Dante's eyes green. Why do Agni and Rudra have that accent (and their heads?)#I was under the impression arkham was his first name... did they actually pull a fucking “dante sparda” with Lady?#I can't stand when people call them “Dante/Vergil/Nero Sparda”. Not their last name. So they did that with Lady and...#pffft John? Really? John Arkham? Like John Souls? lmao#then the “mine's bigger” line from... THAT game...#the vice president and his constant proselytizing was fucking annoying after one episode and then we got MORE of that...#I'm sorry I gotta vent here bc I can't to anybody irl really#I think the only thing I can't complain about is the music bc I liked most of it except maybe three or four songs.#speaking of why didn't they play the og bury the light that would have hit way harder than...whatever that cover was#then I hear about the shit this guy is saying on twitter and who he aligns with and I'm like yeah... no thanks#waffledog barks

You know what pisses me off??? I'm a goddamn adult and I'm scared of elevators. Like, I can ride one if I have to, but I'll be so tense and claustrophobic it's wild (which is why I try to avoid it). I even have lots of nightmares about elevators, and sometimes in the wildest settings, like the elevator kidnapping me and taking me to the underwater city of Rapture (yeah, the one from Bioshock). WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME BRAIN???
#I know it probably has to do with my fear of crowded spaces and my ptsd but come on#but that only explains the irl stuff not my nonsense nightmares#maybe I should start keeping track of my elevator nightmares so I can register how ridiculous it gets#although most of the time it's just the elevator going out of control and plummeting FOREVER at a high speed or going up just as fast#I can't explain how horrifying it is for me lol#dan is dreaming again#this post was sponsored by last night's nightmare 👍

Atsushi's back in the game!!! ۶( ˆ o ˆ )
#And Kouyou!!!!#Also. I can say Steinbeck is kinda 👀👀👀#King of the specific category of “I forget I like him until he's on screen”#I'm seriously unlocking memories with this rewatch. Like I haven't thought about it in two years–#but I just know when I was watching the anime for the first time I was being like#“Of COURSE the villains need to spend several minutes each episode explaining in detail how their own superpowers work so that the–#protagonists can get a perfect idea of how to best counter them. Why are villains made so freaking stupid in this show” aljhvwslchvqliyqwb#But. Eh. I guess that's just bsd to you.#Alsoooooo random thought of the day: I don't really favour how Tanizaki's ability was adapted in the anime.#I very well understand they were going for this green Matrix-like illusion effect‚ but every time someone says “... Snow?”#I'm like please explain where do you live that has snow glowing green.#Aamsjgvfaskjhfv sorry this is me being very. Cranky and nitpicky and having terrible audience etiquette in refusing to–#engage in suspension of disbelief. It just bugs me akvakcvqkyb I just feel like... Green is such a non-snow color–#that quite of completely disrupts the Light Snow / Sasame Yuki aesthetic. I would have liked it much better light blue or simply white.#What else. The way the Guild just goes on at stereotypes still troubles me a lot. The “usamericans can't be touched by laws–#because they use money to corrupt anyone” “foreign criminal organization come in our country to corrupt our pure and untouched soil”#Idk. Maybe all of it is true. Can it still be deemed a stereotype when it's objectively something that's happened before–#and will probably keep happening?#I suppose I'm just not a fan of the constant hostility against any foreigner. Idk.#This situation besides is extremely ironical. If you meet me irl it probably won't take long to see me being very outspoken about–#how much I despise usa cultural colonization of all other countries. It's something that really bothers me‚ how rooted and pervasive–#their influence is. So in a lot of ways I can relate to the author's sentiment#I just feel that. If you start treating them as stereotypes and ignore the complexity of a country and the wide spectrum of causes–#that contribute to its attitude in international relations. You end up practicing precisely what you're trying to criticize.#Okay this is the last time I'm getting into the politics of the Guild arc lol#random rambles#This time I took watching the episode slow I feel a little late

I think Nana's and Maya's gazes are very similar in that they feel like a vortex.
But Maya observes like a scholar, with the expectation set and taking in details to both course-correct (if needed) and to replicate.
Nana observes like a relative, each new detail is a nice flavor of the person's core, every piece built around the immutable foundation.
#I can't explain it well but here#One very surprising thing about Maya is that despite her unshakable confidence in herself she doesn't deny others' mutability. She can be#Blindsided but as soon as she collects herself she manages to recalibrate her perception#While of course nana commits EVERYTHING to memory to the point that shifting accents is monumental work#Which is also irl byproduct of knowing someone for too long#I probably would have to reasses this later; any discussion is welcome!#shoujo kageki revue starlight#dumayu#вышедшее из под моего пера

#he's starting to become a bit of a security item... oh no...#i mean. glad to have a security item but. can't wait to explain this if i ever do have to travel out to mayo clinic with my mom lol.#i should take a photo of him. maybe when i feel less overwhelmed by irl things i can pose him at the window kjndsfkjn#��� [ my posts. ]#💭 [ my thoughts. ]

The fact that it's a trend now to say it's a red flag that someone does or does not like a particular fictional character is proof that media literacy is completely dead.
#DCB Comments#also one time I saw someone compare my other series son to Edelgard and I was like BUDDY what#they're nothing alike and their circumstances are nothing alike. but evidently it's a red flag if#you like either of them. and ofc you can't just explain to someone why it's not a red flag to enjoy a fictional character or dislike one#or they'll get super butthurt and whine and cry bc how dare you not be part of their echo chamber!!!#oh noooo how dare someone hate a portrayal of a character bc they exist to make fun of a real phobia!#how dare someone like a character who did something deemed ''bad''! there's no WAY there's more to the story!#idk how Ashnard hasn't gotten canceled by purists yet so good for him I'm rooting for you Ashy!#(fun fact: you can enjoy fictional characters. it's not a red flag about a person's entire morality or personality#saying that is saying it's a red flag to you about who that person is irl as a human being#because they enjoy a piece of fictional media or do not enjoy a piece of fictional media#if you judge someone for what they do and don't like in fictional media and think they're a ''red flag''#that's a pretty good ironic indication that YOU are the problem and the red flag#for judging a human being based on media they consume and assuming it reflects on who they are irl)

Wow dropping almost all of my classes except for one really was the best thing I could've done right now huh
Wish I could've dropped all of them tho. Or better yet just not have started college at all
#ramblings#neg#i have never felt this unmotivated to do anything in my life. nor this emotionally unstable#have a stupid midterm coming up and if its anything like the quizzes i've had to take at least 60% is gonna be shit we never go over#bc this stupid class is online and the teacher doesn't assign work or notes for shit that will actually be in the tests#either that or it's all explained in the most dumbfuck overly complicated way#the class is supposed to be abt math stuff that should apply irl but i can assure you like 90% of it is useless to me#the only thing i've actually been learning from this stupid class is how to make pretty looking excell sheets#god i just want to be done with this shit already#with how much i'm struggling with this one class i know for fucking sure i would not have been able to handle being a full time student#the only reason i'm still taking this stupid class is bc i can't drop it without paying for it#paying for school is already fucking stupid as it is but paying to stop going is even worse#hope when this class is done i never have to hear anyone even suggest i go to college ever again#or else i swear to god i will actually just punch them in the face#fuck off

okay buckos, I've sketched out a basic loaderbot.
Since this lil bingus is supposed to be found broken and fixed back up I'm gonna have to break some parts and modify them.
I was thinking about a grapple hook bc I've been swining around with the clawshot in MHW a lot recently and it's hella fun also this lil bingus is inspired by pathfinder a lot personality wise soooo ye...grapple
A nother thing I'm considering is breaking the lense and sticking asurveillance cam on top to serve as a head (inspired by the heads badassloaders have also some concept art of the more finalized lbs shows them with teeny tiny heads and I find that kinda cute lul)
Also antenna is a must, just don't know where to put it.
Feel free to give your input if you have any funky ideas for broken parts and ways a scrappy kid from promethea could have fixed it or other stuff I could add like...pff idk.. a backpack or sum stuff like that.
Like all I really have nailed down for this one is the personality and that they dream of going diving one day even tho they are not water proof. Hell I don't even have pronouns nailed down yet and am actually thinking of making this a thing in my writing wehre the guy who fixed the lil one and gigi just freestyle with pronouns until the little one finds ones they like. A pronoun of the week type situation.
Also I want the little one to pick their own name at some point, but until then I'll just refer to them by variations of "the small one" or "the child" bc they are a little baby that just popped into existence concious exploring the universe. They are literally baby.
Feel free to drop name suggestions. They can be normal human names, names with numbers, acronyms, anything.
Input of mutuals will be valued above everyone elses tho <3
#borderlands#borderlands oc#loaderbot#loaderbot oc#we did a similiar thing to the pronoun of the week situation with a trans irl friend while they were trying to pick a new name#they had a list of names that all sounded very similiar and they couldn't decide which one so we gave all of them a test run for a week lul#also I'm really terrible with naming my ocs#if there isn't some kind of pre-established naming system in game I'm basicly lost#like the only reason for why all of my ocs in ffxiv have original sounding names is bc there is a system I can work with#each species and their two sub clans have their own naming system which they explain in detail with cultural meaning and stuff#I mean we humans kinda that too but due to globalization I feel like it's getting really washed out with cultures mixing and all that#and can't forget people apropriating names from other cultures because they sound so ✧・゚: *✧ exotic ✧・゚: *✧#without knowing any of the cultural background or the meaning especially with religious names#also white american moms needing to invent new ways to spell Ashley to make it more ✧・゚: *✧unique✧・゚: *✧

#was talking about sex with a friend and I came up with the perfect way to explain how I think about sex.#I was like “it's like if sex had redstone mechanics” and I think he got it but no one else I've told has understood.#anyway. I just. idk. the mechanics. the dynamics. the input versus the outcome. you can do it efficiently or you can make it fun.#there's so many ways this metaphor works. ugh. we vibe though and I'm glad I got the chance to see him again.#holding hands while lying on the shed roof talking about personal shit as the sun sets. peak vibes#literally the one person irl who really gets me when I go off about how we need more platonic intimacy.#friends were designed to cuddle on the bed and stroke each other's hair and hold hands and kiss each other. platonic intimacy you get me?#idk. I guess not everyone has a decoupled relationship with sex and romance. but like. ughhhh#why can't I just promise to love and support and die for someone without it needing to be romantic.#why can't I have the closest most intimate relationship possible with someone without it being romantic.#in this moment I would die for you but we won't speak again for three months.#why can't things just make sense like they do when the sun bleeds orange across the clouds and you rest your head in his lap

i don't feel like studying any of the subjects from The Plan rn but everything else is so boring that i also don't want to waste time on like watching content or something and i would rather switch subjects then give up on studying for the day and by old me standards ive already done enough but new me i still feel like i can do more but i don't know what ughhhhh this is torture
#okay so The Plan is#i mean not that anyone would care or understand but i like writing on tumblr like a diary#The Plan is to finish law in one month so i can give the online test and this js non negotiable because there's two#online tests and i have to do ATLEAST one before this year ends or it will be too much#and then to finish my backlog of direct tax till like 10th so i can give that test and be caught up with the rest of the class#and there's about 35 more 2 hr lectures to go (rip me)#oh also i haven't touched audit in ages and backlog is getting to the i can't breathe under this burden levels and classes resume on like#10th 11th something and i want to rejoin with them#the plan is to have all this done by november so in December#i can focus on catching the fuck up with fr and afm because like ive attented SOME classes like sparingly#and i know it but very upar upar se so i have to do it properly once or ill die#yeah that's it that's The Plan#it's doable i think i calculated hours days wise and everything#but like. theory subjects are fucking hard to do constantly because either they're boring asf (like law and audit)#or they're complicated and make me cry from frustration (like direct tax)#mann.#now that im actually studying#i feel so irrationally scared for how chill and like. blaise attitude i had towards inter exam#i had absolutely no idea everyone else was studying so deeply like tax syllabus first half is the exact same as inter#just a little advanced and sir keeps saying ye toh aapne inter mein padha hi tha and im like hain??? bhai itna sab tha????? i had no clue😭#like how tf did i pass my dad says not to tell anyone that i didn't really study for it cause ppl will think#aise hi farzi ca finalist ban gayi but like tunblr so wtvr#but yeah how tf??? could i pass???????#like i actually start to panic when i think about how less i had studied which makes no sense since it's not like they can#take away the result or reverse it or anything it doesn't matter now#but like just woah. like i can't even explain#i remember for tax all i watchef was marathon and usme bhi i got bored (THE DAY BEFORE EXAM!!!) so i skipped#the main topics that had crazy weightage and just did a number of tiny topics and studied only enough#to get passing#dt irl is VAST i can't believe these people learn such specific things that if iss date se iss date mein hai toh section 54 ka exemption

I really want to finish the AU this summer. I don't think I can go another year writing two chapters and then reaching the end of the semester and realizing that most of my scenes were good in piecemeal, but actually it needs to be overhauled and completely rewritten for it to make sense.
Plus, I wanted to write all those non-fiction things and read- and I'm doing research. I... fuck man.
#Like I'm just looking at my outline and the chapters are relatively short. if I focus I can probably make it. But because I'll be#on vacation for a while in the middle of the summer I'm suddenly doubting.#At least I'm doing what I want though. On my schedule. That's the saving grace. And I want this bad enough I don't care.#Although it's funny. I'm so dedicated to the AU when I can't even talk about it to people irl. How do you explain you're a writer#but also it's a fanfic and for a very obscure browser game AND an RPG you played for 2 years. But it's given you The Brainrot.#Same with Ellenville tbh; although that's at least a little easier. I think people just think I read and don't do anything else tbh.#I feel so guilty too. I've made an active decision to prioritize writing in my life and now I don't game anymore; I don't get out much#I know Brando Sando-Mando-Lando says to carve out time from each day and that kind of works but you also have to pretend to be#a normal person who watches shows and talks to people and pretend you're not putting punctuation in the conversation the whole time.
