hope you feel better soon!
I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!
#ask#non mdzs#My health journey has been: Hernia -> acid reflux -> Vocal pain due to aforementioned reflux -> chest infection.#I'm terrified to know what's about to hit me next. Please let it be something kind. PLEASE.#The consequence of living with linguists is that you'll wake up with a wacked up voice -#suddenly you're sitting you down in front of a program called something like Praat having your shimmer and jitter levels calibrated.#They gave me a GRBAS of 33012. I have a fun thing called a pitch break where a whole octave just does not exist.#My vocal pain was bad enough I ended up seeing a speech pathologist and that whole experience was super neat!#I learnt a lot about voice - to be honest I might make a little comic on it after some more research. Fascinating stuff.#For example; your mental perception of our voice modulates the muscles of the vocal folds and larynx.#meaning that when you do have changes (inflammation = more mass = lower frequency)#your brain automatically attempts to correct it to what it 'should sound like'. Leading to a lot more vocal strain and damage!#And it gets really interesting for trans voice care as well - because the mental perception of one's voice isn't based on an existing sampl#So a good chunk of trans voice training is also done with the idea of finding one's voice and retraining the brain to accept it. Neat!#Parkinsonial Voice also has this perception to musculature link! The perception is that they are talking at a loud/normal volume#but the actual voice is quite breathy and weak. So vocal training works on practicing putting more effort into the voice#and retraining the brain to accept the 'loud' voice as 'normal'.#Isn't the human body fascinating?#Anyhow; Now I have vocal exercises and strategies to reduce strain and promote healing.#Which is a lot better than my previous strategy of yelling AAAH in my car until my 'voice smoothed out'.#You can imagine the horror on the speech path's face. I am an informed creature now.#I'm my own little lab rat now. I love learning and researching. Welcome to my tag lab. Class is dismissed.#I'll be back later with a few more answered asks </3 despite everything I'm still going to work and I need the extra sleep.#Thank you for the well wishes! And if you read all of that info dump; thank you for that as well!

The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.
#also idk how to tell you this but even if it were true. wealthy children potentially sacrificing their educational careers to protest is#a good thing actually. idk how to tell you that caring about people from other nations is good#personal#“this war has nothing to do with most students cuz nobody's getting drafted” idk how to explain to you that we should be angry#that our tuitions of 10s of thousands of dollars that we pay every year for an education is being used to fund a genocidal campaign#also the implication that if you go to a uni institution you are automatically privileged by participation no matter your bg#i didn't /want/ to go to this school. i was supposed to go to a school with an art/animation program. but i realized my immigrant#parents have been working their whole lives to get me here. and turning the opportunity down would be a disservice to their sacrifice#this is getting into convos of “what 2nd gen kids owe their parents” which is different for everyone but. yeah#i just get pissed off at seeing people misrepresenting student bodies as “wealthy” and “privileged” and “elite” when it's such a blatant li#i remember a year ago a friend told me they can't fly home to hong kong for winter break because the plane tickets are too expensive#so they have to find temporary housing around the area#last quarter for a film doc class my film partner made a doc on a small group of marxist grad students from india discussing praxis#during a rally a few months ago in response to police presence the coalition invited palestinian students to speak about their experiences#and lead songs and read poems they wrote. these are STUDENTS. are they elitist too?#this is not to disregard my own personal privilege either.#this whole narrative's just to rationalize a lack of empathy to me. seeing a 19yo student get shot by a rubber bullet and your first#reaction is “HAW! HAW! bet richy rich didn't see THAT coming when she put on her terrorist hood!”#newsflash. these big uni campuses are HAUNTED by the violence of past protests and revolutions and police brutality. we know.#why do you think these coalitions have been making reinforced barricades at record speed

Okay lemme go crazy for a sec
Season 2, episode 9: Guilt
When Tron’s simulation machine malfunctions while he’s attached to it, Beck has no choice but to manually figure out what’s wrong, getting transported into Tron’s system. Time for a trip down memory lane.
As Beck travels through Tron’s system, things start to freak out, as it slowly starts trying to fit Beck into these simulations so as not to disrupt or alter them. This leads to him being put in some weird positions.
When Beck finally gets to the dream simulation that led the machine to malfunction, he finds a horrifying sight.
If Tron doesn’t stop, he’ll end up not just hurting his subconscious.
#tron#I’ve held onto this idea. FOR SO LONG. so I went a little insane#tronblr#tron uprising#tron beck#tron fanart#there’s so much I’ve written down about it hhhhghgh#the simulation of Tron fighting himself because he blames himself and never wants to be so ‘naive and hopeful’ ever again#bc that attitude led to nothing but betrayal and misery#going crazy#something something also foreshadowing for Rinzler#also also the outcome of Beck’s meddling with this harmful simulation leads to him getting hurt which is a metaphor for how programs#WILL get hurt if Tron lets his trauma fester and doesn’t ask for help in processing it#yeah#i ramble#art tag#tron 1982#tw strangling#tw strangulation#it’s not graphic at all but eh#tw eyestrain#eye strain tw#eye strain#cw: eyestrain#eyestrain

cant believe when im consuming deltarune theories i have to sit through takes like "yeah I guess ANOTHER HIM sounds kinda like gasters theme but theres no proof" or "yeah people assume the intro narrator is gaster but we dont actually know"
like do yall need Toby to spell it out in big block letters for you?
OH WAIT. HE DID.
#incredibly difficult to believe that anyone whos ever deliberately listened to both songs cant tell theyre variants of each other#and man. come on. the twitter takeover of the UT account by an entity whose name was six letters long and blacked out#an entity who spoke in all caps and made direct references to entry 17 and the fact that players had been 'looking for him'#lead DIRECTLY into the intro sequence to ch1 back when it was just 'survey program'#therefore. the twitter entity is gaster. therefore. the gonermaker entity is gaster. THEREFORE. ANOTHER HIM#which is AN OBVIOUS REFERENCE to the 'Mus_st_him.ogg' filename for Gaster's Theme in undertale#and is literally a slight variation of the exact same musical motif. IS OBVIOUSLY GASTERS THEME#look i dont hold it against the average person for not connecting those dots#but people who are actually making videos on this shit and want to be taken seriously? they should do better.#excercise your brain cells my man#(except for you andrew cunningham. you never let me down)#on top of the fact that all this is actually really obvious if you look into it at even a surface level#ut/dr are not the kind of games where everything is spelled out for you#half the appeal in the first place is the way the story is told through hints and implications#and while theres room for speculation in many areas. toby is irrefutably an absolute nut for themes and motifs. so when you find them#you bet your ass it aint a coincidence#anyway rant over. im just TIRED of these takes#idk if any of this is actually coherent i havent slept#freak speak

sorry Brax casually referring to himself as Chancellor, a rank he in no way has, in a speech to the Academy students is really fucking funny when you think about it. pov a politician shows up to give a speech to a bunch of international students at Harvard and decides to introduce himself as the Vice President of the US and hopes no one will notice.
#kinda tempted to write a fic thats just all the Gallifreyan msnbc style news programs leading up to the Civil War#literally any part of early Gallifrey is absolutely hilarious if you put it in real life terms#gallifrey audios#gallifrey liveblog

HC: Damien will always use the most obscure insults on people. The type where you'll think back to what he said a year later and be absolutely SHATTERED. Freelancer keeps trying to explain to him that insults aren't as effective if you have to explain them every fucking time. He ignores them and keeps saying crap like this:
"He's such a fucking Thersites."
*when someone brags about something simple* "Oh well, hello world!"
"Have you ever considered designing children's hospitals?"
(I ran out of insults quicker than expected)
#this leads me onto my subsequent headcanon that damien is an avid tumblr user#also programming because I say so#bro collects random knowledge like pokemon cards#redacted headcanons#redacted damien#redacted audio

alien romulus (2024) is what can only be described as a love letter to the franchise, and particularly to alien (1979). the film devotes loving attention to all the horror elements of the original film that later films have left behind: the facehuggers, the gestation period of the chestburster, the acid blood, the uncertain humanity of synths, the vivid, hostile, dynamic setting, the pregnancy horror, the maternity horror, the vagina horror (with even some elements of vagina dentata), the 2001: a space odyssey (1968) callbacks, and even the slasher structure. unfortunately, they replicate the slasher structure in such a standard way that within minutes of the characters’ introduction i could accurately clock when each of them would die and more or less how. and, even more unfortunately, the film doesn’t put much more in its letter than its love for alien (1979); even the final scene is practically a 1:1 recreation of the ending of the first film, sans the cat and with the brunette lead in slightly less revealing underwear. the film is hugely effective in the exact same way that the original film is effective, and i would describe the experience of watching alien romulus (2024) as watching alien (1979) for the first time all over again, but soured by the knowledge that it surely could have been much more
#rip tough as nails asian girlfriend i’m sure somewhere out there is a world where you don’t have to be the first one to go#also casting their one black actor as the synth programmed to loyally serve and protect the white woman lead didn’t sit super great with me#it felt like there was narrative work they should have put in with that that they simply didn’t care to do#ryddles

Avengers genderbend where every member backstory or appearance is SO DRASTICALLY different due to the gender switch. except Loki who is exactly the same
#think about it#Natasha's Red Room training would've probably put her in a program closer to the winter soldier one right#Thor doesn't get with the masc cultural standard of Asgard anymore he's some hyperfeminine girlypop who wants to also slay enemies despite#steve rogers wouldn't have been expected to go to war at all but let's suppose he fought to get there and was serum selected for her heart#her stage performances would have been different for sure so the eventual combat outfit would have been different. for sure#Tony Stark being a smart woman in STEM would've had to face more pressure to prove her place in the field#probably makes her actually arrogant but more aware of the impact her work has. probably outspoken about sexist double standards#probably would come off as less reckless for decisions after creating the armour though#bet the tech bros hate her even tho she leads the field#probably seen as more of the leader of the avengers even tho normally cap is seen more that way#clint barton idk#outfit change#everyone with drastically different designs and Loki there like ‘hi’

Actually wild that I might not be able to get my dream degree because the uk is banning trans healthcare
#I am so sad it’s so fucked up#Ireland might have one or two programs but England and Scotland have the leading ones#there’s one in Madrid as well I think but I cannot handle Spanish heat#rabid posts#uk politics#trans rights#trans healthcare#transgender

Had a dream last night that they made a season 2 for Tron Uprising and the first episode started by introducing Yori why is the world so cruel.
#Don't remember much details but it showed Yori leading some kind of resistance somewhere else in The Grid#and then one of the resistance programs came up to her to show her on some holo screen the resistance starting in Argon#and then I woke up :/#tron uprising#tron#tronblr
