My idea of how common knowledge the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice is… wrong

#Greek mythology #Orpheus and Eurydice #I saw a production of hadestown and it was FANTASTIC #but the number of people who asked me what it was about #and I answered ‘you know the Greek myth about Orpheus and Eurydice’#and got the response ‘no’#is WAY HIGHER THAN I THOUGHT #in the last week I’ve seen like at least five poetic representations of the myth #is tumblr just the Orpheus and Eurydice site #something about the tragedy and grief and the fact that it could never be any other way just makes tumblr feral I guess #I mean me too #I go here

#jumblr #jewish politics #antisemitism tw #personal thoughts tag #brought to you by me going to shel silverstein's wikipedia page #and subsequently being disappointed by yet another article about a person starting with 'born to a jewish family'#you will not die if you say 'this person was jewish and their family was as well!' i promise #recognizing that some people you like or were famous are jews is not a bad thing #jew isn't a bad word. being a jew is not a curse and refusing to even recognize that someone is jewish sends way worse a message #but i was obsessed with shel silverstein's poetry as a kid #which it feels like everything i loved as a kid and now being jewish at a rate higher than chance was an Early Sign lmao

we're at it again🕺

#jrwi riptide #gillion tidestrider #my art #sketch #back on my bullshit woo yeah woo yeah woo yeah #genuinely a lot happier with this design than the previous ones. the lighter metal looks better on him #and this one doesn't have a lot of detail (or any detail tbh) so it looks more solid and fun i think #and you can see im trying to figure out how gill would carry his sword around #technically he should just carry it in his hands and don't have a scabbard because its a longsword and isn't supposed to be sheathed...#but like... its not practical to always carry it in his hands. especially in a day to day life. because he always has the sword on him-#but he doesn't necessarily always hold it? like. he needs hands for stuff #i think i like the back scabbard better (even if i drew the whole turnaround for the hip one) just because it doesn't mess with his tail #plus that way destiny's blade is higher up and gets to look around at stuff and i think its funny #but then like... the cape is a little awkward if it has to go above the sword...#but its not a big deal. if he has a cape and armor on he probably holds the sword in his hands anyway #am i putting too much thought into this unnecessary detail? yes #am i rambling in the tags again instead of making a separate post? also yes

Kurvitz stresses that Kim doesn't actually have a character sheet hidden in Disco Elysium's code. Imagining that Lieutenant Kitsuragi has only one natural attribute point in Motorics helps the ZA/UM team to understand the depth of his character beyond what's referenced in the game's dialogue. "We just came up with this stuff for coherency," says Kurvitz. "And because we're nerds."

"I like to think Kim has a Thought Cabinet project called Revolutionary Aerostatic Brigades that he's worked on since he was a teenager," Kurvitz says. "This raises the learning caps for his Reaction Speed and Interfacing."

Kim's high Volition skill makes him impervious to prying, Kurvitz says, as the detective can find out on occasions being met with Kim's brick-wall resolve. Kim often chastises these whims of the detective's, but will occasionally play along. The Lieutenant finds his new partner funny, says Kurvitz.

Kim is naturally shit at Motorics and thinks Harry is funny source

#THE GUY WHO SO MANY THOUGHT WAS THE MISSING MOTORICS BUILD IS BAD AT THEM #and thinks cop types are stupid <3 #the bajillion points in authority make even more sense. he probably has a lot of natural points in the purple skills?#(addition: so empathy too T_T !!!)#so this means he had to put a lot of points in composture on purpose. and had to learn how to sew and repair motorcarriages the hard way?#the interfacing learning cap is higher but he still had to put points in it to have more than 1 #his perception is abysmal and it stayed so #his hand/eye coordination is also bad. his shooting posture is horrible. I wonder how he got to 7/10 #I want to poke this nerd with a stick #disco elysium #release the kim character sheet now. what the hell is volta do mar I need to know #he must have volta do mar. h/e coordination. kinetic dressage #(and something related to authority)#they're all in the clothes in the zaum atelier

Okay, the one thing that does bother me is that Mt. Lady is the highest ranked female Pro Hero and not Miruko.

#look she's cool (mt lady) is cool and all BUT COME ON #i feel like miruko should have been higher than her #yes may be coming from bias #and even though mt lady has had been more involved in the story (debuting first)#i feel like it's unfair to miruko who is a hero who moves from place to place constantly no sidekicks #has worked with other heroes with complaining about it #does carry her own weight #don't get me started on the limbs..#people probably find mt lady more 'likeable' in the sense she's always been one for the camera #meanwhile miruko isn't really like that she doesn't come across that way to me #and maybe could something else 👀#but anyways yeah i think miruko could have at least been number 3 or 4 #just kiya's thoughts #bnha #mha #boku no hero academia #my hero academia #bnha spoilers #mha spoilers #bnha manga spoilers #bnha 431 #mha 431 #miruko #mirko #rumi usagiyama #usagiyama rumi

So I watched the THK cast reaction/interview with English subs (credit: nellyyangyang on twitter), and...

They're so desperately trying to clarify that it's a romantic comedy ya'll. The number of times they keep saying "it's easy to swallow, no need to chew" and "you can watch without thinking" and "it's really simple". I wonder if this is pre-emptive because they can see online how many people are taking the trailer the wrong way and they don't want to get the backlash of disappointed fans?

Maybe the colours and aesthetic of the trailer is making people think it'll be serious? But like... ok has anyone else seen the 1996 Leonardo DiCaprio movie Romeo + Juliet? I feel like this is in the same vein where its simultaneously shot incredibly seriously with a very specific aesthetic and vibe, but also completely irreverent and satirical, but like earnestly so. (Which, ngl, if it IS that would be SO awesome; Romeo + Juliet is iconic for being so unhinged in the best way.)

#the heart killers #i don't have twitter but tqsm to @nellyangyang for the translation!#i'm very lucky that everything so far is pointing to exactly the kind of show i love to watch #like idk -- i get that the setting could be gritty and serious but i'm so excited at the thought of a romantic comedy #being set in something other than a university/high school/office #like it sets the stakes higher purely in the setting in a way that i'm very much looking forward to #whilst still hoping it stays true to the genre #there's other shows for the people who want something more serious and dramatic (eg. everything i've heard of Manner of Death?)#please let us happily enjoy this romantic comedy about a murder brother duo and their flirty detective/mechanic boyfriends #first kanaphan #khaotung thanawat #joong archen #dunk natachai #thk interviews

i think about this part often maybe a bit too much

#i mean its just till getting choked #but 𝓮𝓻𝓸𝓽𝓲𝓬𝓪𝓵𝓵𝔂 #you catch my drift?#also the way ivan is just like hard staring through him bro is higher than the clouds #it looked like he was playing kahoot in his brain deciding what to do next after realizing the face sucking wasnt doing anything but he had #taken this kahoot quiz b4 so he just went for the green option instantly #(thought really hard about this for like 2 seconds or in this case had used all the other options)#like he was just fucking around no clear plan #and just Till's general expression of 🫨#he looked like he saw jesus for a second also his eye bags are more apparent #and now im just noticing the skin folds around the neck #so im afraid ivan did actually go for the juggler and genuinely tried strangling till #with intent to kill or not im unsure #im getting tears on my screen let me stop here #alien stage #alnst till #alnst ivan #alien stage till #alnst #alien stage ivan #ivantill

So let's talk height.

(Image taken from gamibuzz.com)

So the average human height in our world is a little difficult to ascertain, but in 1996 was thought to be 5'7" for men, and 5'3" for women. Now, I don't think that the devs have coded in the gendered height difference to Veilguard, so let's just average that out to 5'5" and apply that to this image. (Very Scientific I know, I've not even accounted for the fact that human heights have increased over the last 200 years on average.) Assuming that all these characters are set to 50% in the character creator (very scientific) that means the human man here is 5'5". After doing a little screen measuring and maths, that means that the average height of a qunari is 6'2", elf average is 4'11", and dwarf average is 4'2". Obviously, these are averages, so there will be taller/shorter people. Also, I'm doing a lot of rounding and conversion because I hate the imperial system, so I may be a little off. What's the range of heights available in the character creator, though? Not sure, I'd need to be able to measure the difference. Expect a more accurate update when I get ahold of the character creator!

#dragon age #datv #dragon age the veilguard #unnecessary math #elves and dwarves worked out way shorter than I thought! although that's probably because of the average I decided to work from #if you were to work from the human male average 5'7“ they work out at 5'0.5” 6'4“ and 4'3.5”#why did i do this? I'm supposed to be working?#i would guess that ancient elves have a similar height average to humans but honestly who knows #only thing we know is that they are taller than modern elves #my 4'11“ lavellan craning her neck back to look at unnecessarily tall Solas #seriously I'm going to update this with higher accuracy once the game is finally downloaded onto my pc #and that's the last you'll ever hear from me

Is there a more specific term than "agnostic" for me cause I feel like that implies "I believe in a deity/deities/spiritual relationship, I just don't exactly know which one or how"

My belief is less "I don't know" and more "I think there's the possibility of something out there it's just that it's none of my business." Like if we found out Zeus, Jesus Christ, and Ra are actually best buddies and go to trivia every Thursday and that the Rapture was supposed to happen 50 years ago and got cancelled or some shit and it's like..I answer phone calls at a front desk man idk what you want me to do with that info

#this probably is just 'agnostic' Id just like to feel special <3 #I make minimum wage and you want me to worry about if there's a heaven or hell???#bro I don't care about purgatory I'm on the phone with my health insurance #It is flat out None Of My Business what's going on outside of this physical plane and I do not plan on changing that #It's the same way I feel about ghosts #Were my childhood homes haunted? Probably!#Am I gonna fuck around and find out? Absolutely fucking not!#What they get up to is none of my business. I'm gonna keep acting like they aren't there unless they need help and make it obvious #and even then I'm not doing more shit than like opening a window #I'm not gonna fuck around and accidentally anger some higher power or ghost cause I'm scared of uncertainty #I've got an exam due today like idk man what freaky shit higher powers do is their business I'm not tryna intrude on shit #Im also into the idea that the belief in a higher power creates them #Like even if there's no physical manifestation they've influenced your train of thought so much they might as well be #ex christian #religious trauma
