#like genuinely i have to respect this dude

[biohorror-human]

I think my main worry is: how do you know what nouns someone wants to be referred to if their pronouns are detached from any nouns? I guess it would work if you put nouns in bio as well, but nobody does that, and I've already had a run-in with someone who used any pronouns, but didn't use the male noun, and because I assumed any pronouns included he/him which refers to the male noun (not gender, only noun) I called them "dude" and got a ration of shit for not being able to guess that I was supposed to ignore the pronoun and antecedent agreement and instead be able to cosmically tell that while this person used any pronouns (which, would imply any nouns as well) was not actually the case and they had very specific nouns they wanted to be referred to as which were not listed anywhere on their profile.

I think the solution to this would be: listing nouns in bio. But something about violating the linguistic rule that literally is the reason pronouns are able to exist and be used in sentences with respect to someone's nouns feels like a bad idea. I thought the point of being able to choose your pronouns was to be able to communicate to people what your chosen nouns were? Why then tell people to ignore the cohesion that allowed people to do that?

Maybe I'm genuinely tweaking (I've always been super specific about linguistic rules for some reason. I don't know why, I'm just super calculated about sentence structure and syntax and language conventions and have been since I was really young) but I don't think it would work. not even in a "we've always done it this way, why change it?" Kind of way, but in a "detaching pronouns from nouns just makes the pronouns invalid because the information they're supposed to convey (antecedent noun) is no longer accurate" I think it ruins the functionality of having any pronouns at all.

btw you cant tell what a person's gender is based solely on their pronouns. we really gotta get out of the hole of he=boy she=girl they=nonbinary.

Good lord the localization team is telling a whole different story

[tempestaurora]

jsyk its a day later and i have changed my mind about this. i am currently rewatching the show and while i believe langdon is a little insane about robby and wants his attention and approval, i think robby does like langdon. i mean, it's in the description of the show: langdon is his right hand man. he is trusted. he is respected. robby continuously lets langdon run free in a way he doesn't with everyone else because that is his golden resident and he trusts langdon's skills and knowledge to get the job done. they have probably gotten a beer outside work. they have probably attended the same barbeque. i definitely still think langdon is more attached to robby than robby is to him, but now i think robby probably gets dinner with jake and tells him what ridiculous thing langdon said that day and thinks of the moment fondly.

idk i wrote a fic about langdon and robby being close before the shift from hell and all the ways they slipped into being family and what was lost after, and then i saw a take that was like. robby outright rejected langdon calling him a friend during the shift. he corrected him to best resident when langdon suggested best friend. and now im thinking were they ever actually that close. has langdon just been desperately seeking validation and praise and attention from robby and robby has no interest in ever giving it to him outside a work context. langdon leaves work and tries to arrange robby coming over for dinner at the weekend. robby leaves work and doesn't think about langdon until he returns to the hospital the next day.

Confessing my sins to the internet because my irl friends don't know my tumblr

I'm actually a horrible friend and I don't plan to change :)

I'll be a good friend to anyone I actually like and I usually don't associate with people who I don't like, but sometimes there will be an occasional lonely (usually annoying) kid that follows me around. (They're lonely for a reason.) I kinda hate people who are loud literally all the time but I can hold my tongue and this kinda person just doesn't leave because they're not being told directly to leave.

What do I do? I talk to them only when I need them, I make unnecessarily mean comments as a joke, I point out their obvious flaws that I know they have a hard time changing, and all while they still follow me around like I'm not kinda bullying them.

Sometimes I'll treat them like an actual friend when I'm in a good mood, but if I'm not, then the unfortunate victim becomes my emotional punching bag. (I have ways to quickly fix my mood and this is completely unnecessary and I could distance myself until I feel better like how I do with actual friends.) I think this is like. Breadcrumbing? Anyways yeah, toxic shit.

If any of your "friends" treat you like this, they don't see you as a friend. If they leave you doubting if they like you or not, leave you doubting if you're actually friends, they probably don't see you as a friend. (because that's the case for me :3 )

I'm a horrible human being and I don't feel nearly as bad as I should about it :)

wait guys wanna know a funny story from this weekend actually. so at my last job i had 2 coworkers who were #confirmed in love with me and i haven’t worked at that company for like over 6 months now and they’re still talking about me. the first one was around my age and we hung out socially as friends and one night we did make out (I WAS DRUNK) (it wasn’t a work event like we were just out as friends it was not unprofessional i swear) but anyway i didn’t like him like that so i kind of shut him down and then like a month later he got a gf. and i was like aw good he moved on. anyway that was over a year ago, like last february this all happened. anyway this weekend my friend told me he and his gf broke up and while they were at work she was texting me and he saw it and went “so… do you think there’s still a chance there” like MY GUY. keep in mind i haven’t seen him in person in like nine months and we haven’t interacted since i quit that job in like september. my impact. anyway the second coworker was a guy like a year older than me and right after i quit that job he sent me a text like asking me out and i was like ohhh im busy. and then he was persistent and i was just like oh im not rly interested and my friend told me that apparently he brought me up too recently and was like yeah she told me she wasn’t dating back then and he was hoping id change my mind. like bro please... anyway both of those are iconic to me and also just knowing my impact having literally not worked there in months and im still being discussed. #iconic

just read this part of the adventurer's bible and

do you think toshiro was originally attracted to falin (whilst still being irritated by many of her same traits in laios) because he thought his father would find her interesting???

[boimgfrog]

love when new ppl ask how me and my bf met and I have to choose whether to tell them "oh we met at a party" or the actual real unsanitized truth of "we met at a party where he got absolutely plastered and trailed after me the entire time failing to hit on me and then again at a separate party where he spent the entire time glued to my hip grabbing my waist and hitting on me until we made out in my friends closet but it's ok bcos I was into it and kinda baited him and he was respectful with it". literally have to become a PR professional trying 2 decode my target audience in any conversation. which is awful bcos its usually like the first question people ask. man I don't know you like that.

i get why people would opt to say walter was a terrible person since the beginning, but i think that's like, the most boring takeaway you can get about his character. he was already insecure and prideful from the start, and it's what would hurt him and keep hurting him. but like, being insecure and prideful are regular traits any regular person can have. the actions that he makes because of these traits, which in turn keep fueling his ego more and more, are what makes him an interesting character. and he was already pretty capable of hurting other people, but he wasn't doing it out of malice, but more because of careless selfishness at first. what makes walter terrifying is that the more he does it, the more he becomes aware of what he's doing, and the more he keeps going and keeps being more and more meticulous and deliberate about what he does that hurts people and even to the point when it was specifically to hurt people.

i think the traits were there in walter from the beginning—the pilot did a pretty good job of establishing how powerless he's felt all his life and just how susceptible he is to letting this newfound perceived power get to his head so easily. he even says this explicitly in 5x06 "Buyout" when he tells jesse "i'm not in the money business, i'm in the empire business". but saying he was this monster from the start kind of implies he didn't undergo through a character arc throughout the show when it's quite literally what he did. he got worse. so much worse. through mostly the fault of his own fragility.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENSEN!!!!!

I ended up reading The Price of the Phoenix and while it didn't make me want to bleach my eyes like Killing Time, I still didn't like it as much as I hoped I would. Don't get me wrong, the homoeroticism was intriguing to me, but the actual writing and storyline itself left me with a headache. I think I get my hopes up with these books, given all of the possibilities that the written word has for Trek, and it inevitably sets me up for disappointment lol
