1) i am on holiday at the folk festival we go to in devon every year. it’s nice! i am listening to folk music and watching folk dancers and i have no signal during the day! i thought oh great i can do a mild digital detox!!!
2) england (and northern ireland? but afaik not scotland or wales so just saying the UK isn’t accurate) is in the middle of a spate of race riots and fascist pogroms. having no internet during the day means i get back to the place i am staying every evening. which does have wifi, and download all the horrible news to my brain at once.
3) parent unexpectedly in hospital today, trying to get updates with no signal, while sitting down in a tent watching morris dancers. absolutely absurd.
#it’s very unmooring!!!!!!#parent will probably be fine but it’s just been a LOT#and i feel guilty for being on holiday but???? like?????

tragic actual play siblings…
#d20#fantasy high#a crown of candy#acoc#taz#taz balance#abernant sisters#rocks sisters#taaco twins#d20 spoilers#mine#dont be weird on this post. please. -_-#looking back at acoc for these screenshots... lets just say theres a pair of codependent twins here and it aint taako and lup#but like more on ruby’s side tbh bc jet does have an identity outside of her but ruby kinda doesnt#theres a post abt how jet was the most impactful death possible bc if itd been ruby it wouldve solidified jets arc#but when ruby’s the survivor she’s just left lost and unmoored bc jet really was part of her#ruby & saccharina are especially tragic to me bc if jet hadnt died ruby wouldve loved her!! she couldve had a sister!! 2 sisters!!#but jet dying was necessary for her to enter the story at all bc of the nature of the medium... she was always doomed to be an outsider#the ‘you are my heart’ line is so good so sweet i love it so much#but what lup says immediately afterward… knowing whats coming in the very next ep… one of biggest dramatic irony moments in the show for me#& it will always bother me that taako is green on the taz transcripts HE’S BLUEEE (<- his vibe NOT his skin)

every time someone mentions the way music-related algorithms work in the best interests of major labels pushing their artists for their own gain and therefore are often embedded with bias and cut off new avenues of discovery everyone comes out of the woodwork to mention "well, anecdotally to my specific circumstance, I've discovered (5) new artists with sub-one thousand regular listeners completely detached from any information or scene or cohesive idea of taste on my weekly currated playlists so therefore algorithms actually work amazing" like what are you talking about. can we be serious please.
#the actual organization of genre and optimization on spotify is actually interesting- like what artists similar people like#but daily mixes and popular playlists are functionally useless at discovery if you have any familiarity with music/genre history#like the problem with a faceless disconnected rec from an algorithm is you you lose a very human sense of context/place#like even when a friend or professional critic reccs you something you have a framework to interact with#their taste your taste and if you know them their interaction with your taste and what they know about you as well as your mutual interests#while critics are not designed to be your personal validation machines actually theyre supposed to be someone who you can calibrate a rec#from. or you can glean additional context based on whether they liked something or not#none of that happens on a random currated list of songs! you dont know what part of your taste its responding to for instance#like sure you have an aggregate of bands you've been given. but no real connective tissue. no personal connection. not even basic details!#no wonder so many people are unmoored from history. b/the classic canon or even the particularities of a subculture they supposedly are int#my posts

damn i missed you guys this has to be the first time in weeks that i've posted more than like 5 things in a day. i can't waaait for actual bayern tomorrow
#the next 4-5 months will be a delicate balancing act#and i will probably be very sporadically present#but it's important to me that you all know that your friendships mean a lot to me and i feel unmoored from parts of myself#when i can't be present/talk to you all#like obviously number 1 my individual friendships matter a lot to me#and number 2 i do feel that being on here has allowed me to be in touch with the european side of myself#without actually having to move to europe#which i always used to think i would have to do if i ever wanted to connect with that#anyway on that note i am using 'how easy would it be for me to temporarily move to germany' as a criterion for picking internships lol#so expect to see me there in 3-4 years#bella things

disco elysium is the game of all time because you can sing "where the hood where the hood where the hood at" and the very soul of the city sings with you "HAVE A BROTHER IN THE CUT. WHERE THE WOOD AT."
#disco elysium#shivers check in the rain my beloved#just. you know. harry unmoored and homeless and yet the city tells him here here you're home here#we are home to each other#even when everything is lost. amongst them his very memory#the city cradles him

the chimera ant arc to me feels like gon and killua are on evil summer break
#I’ve had time to think about it and it’s fully clicked that the chimera ant arc is about neglect and the consequences there of#more at 11#every other arc of the show they have some kind of authority figure that is there to guide and teach them#and at first in the chimera ant arc it appears like that is going to be kite!#but then kite is very suddenly gone and they are unmoored#and even though they are constantly surrounded by adults none of them ever fill that role#not even bisky who was their past teacher and is even there to give them more training!#bisky alienated herself from them! she turns herself into someone they CANT come to with a problem#gon and killua are on summer break and none of the many adults around them can afford to pay attention to them#so they’re just loose!#they can’t help each other and they can’t get help from anyone else either#and the consequences of that are catastrophic#and don’t even get me started on how the ants are similarly neglected and that’s why there like that for most of the season#hxh#hxh spoilers

anonymous opinions you say? i think you’re really cool but in the english teacher that is definitely going through a divorce way
okay i take back my enthusiasm about the ask game . because it's suddenly getting a little too real 😭
we're doing the anonymous opinion ask game
#a#hitting a cig. i do feel like an English teacher going through a divorce#it's because i'm a student who's been going through a Medical Leave Of Absence for the past month. to be honest#my professional life is very unmoored rn however i do feel that my blogging has been at an all-time high. as a result of the disasters#we're experiencing a golden age. we need to appreciate & cherish my divorced blogger time because once school starts again we're FUCKED

how do y’all imagine wyll reclasses after losing his warlock abilities if he breaks his pact with mizora? i can imagine the blade of avernus, for example, being an oath of vengeance paladin.
#i think depending on how u follow tht quest to its conclusion it makes sense#bc potentially he’s lost his father as well as having been cursed and maybe even had to watch Karlach die bc of zariel’s treachery#so a vengeance oath wouldn’t be surprising#even in my playthrough where his father lives and he and karlach go to avernus together#he still says his main goal is to kill mizora#and Justice can so easily turn to vengeance anyway#esp for someone like wyll bc he’s very unmoored by the end of the game#and has to reckon with a lot of repressed feelings#just realized this won’t appear in the fuckin. main tags#whatever#wyll ravengard#bg3#bg3 spoilers

maybe we'd live in a different world if someone had sat the creative team of this is us down, held their hands and say. hey. hey. you know you don't have to write kevin and sophie together if you don't want to, right?
#i have never in my life seen an endgame ship/love interest written like this#and I've seen some cases where it was clear the writers were reluctant at best and hostile at worst but#even then there seemed to be some... spark somewhere. in the character if not the ship? and if there wasn't the pairing crumbled anyway#but not this one lol#like. i just finished rewatching s5 and this time I'll actually try to watch s6#so it might do something different in s6 (if it does it'll be very minor)#bur for now i can categorically say that sophie went FIVE SEASONS without having a plot with a character other than kevin#the only other love interest of kevin who had that honour is the Other Girl in season 1#and ig sophia bush as the hall pass lady lmao#and both actually had more sparkling personalities than sophie but ymmv#like. this show looooooves The Interactions TM#you can tell how significant a secondary character is by how many pearsons they talk to outside their assigned one lmfao#we're TOLD sophie was once Kate's best friend and they haven't shown that ONCE so far#kophie is completely disconnected from the rest of the story. unmoored. this is noooot a good thing lmao#it really doesn't help that the actress has about negative charisma#the good thing about this rewatch is that idc much about kevin's fate so. eh#talking to the void#my thoughts#tiu thoughts#this is us#antikophie for ts

when you happen to bend a joint you've happened to be exercising more regularly and the skin creases someplace it didn't before the increased exercise
#rosie babbles#THIS POST IS ABOUT 'HOOHOO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE FOR BIKE PRACTICE BEING NICE ACTUALLY' ALONG THE SAME LINES AS THAT ONE POST ABT LIKE#'THE WORLD MAY BE COLD AND UNFEELING BUT I JUST MADE A FUZZY SOCK OUT OF STRING'#wheels :)#so much stuff abt exercise that gets plastered all over tends to be like. 'here is how to make yourself Look Hot#(with wildly different crazy regimens for each binary gender)'#and i'm just sitting here like#'i want to Go Places Under My Own Physical Power and Regain The Ability To Yeet My Youngest Brother (Now Larger Than Me)'#but like. look at that! there really is the very beginning of a physical consequence to this Thing that i have begun to Do!#i'm not just unmoored from reality 24/7!

Look, I'm not saying that the entirety of the Galvan race would be gamers. That would be ludicrous. I'm simply saying that if they found out about the existence of video games as well as how to program them,
Damn if only they didn't have tadpole children otherwise they'd totally have iPad toddlers smh smh- no doubt on Galvan Prime (or whatever edition of planet they're on if you don't retcon it's destruction in the Highbreed arc) they'd already found an interest in many variations of video games, even if predominantly it's not socially acceptable in most galvan cultures to be an adult in full pursuit of a gamer, not that there isn't a market for it because expectations breeds exceptions.
Because of the majority of galvan intellects steer towards the sciences, galvan video game developers probably tend to target younger fresh-out-of-the-pond adolescents with educational games, a combination of fun and learning. But these are galvans we're talking about, so no Mario Teaches Typing or Leap Frog levels of baby smarts games, more like Brain Training and significantly more difficult than what you get here. It's not to say 'fun for fun's sake' games don't exist, just that these are really the only games that early learning galvan really get until they have control over their own financial responsibilities.
I'm not saying that galvan who prefer more entertaining games later in life are unintelligent, but I am saying that Blukic and Driba seem the type to game for fun-
#ask#anonymous#galvan#blukic#driba#ben 10#xenotechnology#headcanon#something something 'the ability to learn anything given enough time' yada yada when unmoored from society you can do whatever you enjoy#am i making blukic and driba gamers? sure. am i joking or being serious? yes#i like blukic and driba because they are unlike any galvan that we have seen and it's just marvelous variety#more adult targetted galvan games would be a lot more varied than games for younger demographics#galvan parents may tend to steer away from 'fun for fun's sake' games or never catch their child dead with an 'adult game'#which has different connotations in galvan culture as far as general audiences go#very heavy study culture- not a lot of room for adolescents to have unnecessary fun#make education fun so they don't dip out but it's still education#there are 'cool parents' that let their kid play much more entertaining games#games that aren't just exams in gaming form#maybe they'd have a rating system that's probably more represented through school year and graduation status#'mum can i get this?' 'oh dear- this is rated graduated- maybe when you've completed uni and got a job you can play this'#heh- i love world building
