#the urge of some billionaires to bring humans to inhabitale planets#when we have an ultimately perfect planet here is in every way beyond me#wanting to make humans a multiplanet species#that is the exact same bullshit elon is after#like guys did you LOOK at these planets#nothing against venus or mars#but there is literally nothing there???????

Made a FANTASTIC discovery today regarding the meaning behind Boothill's fourth eidolon, I'm so happy!!! Most of it is just cowboy references, like
Eidolon 1: Dusty Trail's Lone Star- cowboy lingo, the Lone Star of Texas
Eidolon 2: Milestonemonger- more cowboy lingo, someone who roams and wanders
Eidolon 3: Marble Orchard's Guard- yet more cowboy lingo, a term for a graveyard (a fave of mine, because for me it evokes the image of a Church Grim <333)
Eidolon 4: Cold Cuts Chef- ????
Google didn't really provide much on Eidolon 4 like for the first three. Before today I had assumed it was just another movie reference of some sort, since Boothill is like entirely based on/inspired by old Western films.
"Cold cuts" are basically lunch meat/deli meat. It's precooked meat that doesn't need any kind of preparation- you can literally just eat it cold. Since it didn't seem to be a movie reference, I thought oh, maybe it's a nod to his lifestyle? Boothill is unhoused and lives on the run from the IPC with little rest, he doesn't really have the means to cook. Precooked, easy food like that would be a godsend for someone in his circumstances.
Anyway the original Chinese text gives it an entirely different, MUCH wilder meaning fjadskljfkld
love how they chose "celebrity chef" to show his expertise and/or fame in this fjkdlsja
Because no, "cold cuts" isn't cowboy lingo for anything, but cold meat specifically is.
It's how you refer to a corpse.
"Cold Cuts Chef" is not a title talking about his cooking ability, or his life's circumstances, or anything as mundane as that, IT'S ABOUT THE FACT THAT BOOTHILL SPECIALIZES IN DEALING DEATH, THIS MAN IS EXTREMELY SKILLED, AND GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES, AND WHAT HE DOES IS MURDER!!!!!
#AND I LOVE THAT FOR HIM!!!!!!#*dreamy sigh* there is so much blood on his hands#I love morally dubious men <3#honkai star rail#hsr#honkai star rail boothill#hsr boothill#boothill#I know this eidolon's title is not a reference to any form of cannibalism. I know that.#But GOD I hope that's an in-universe rumor that spreads about him through the lower ranks of the IPC grunts JFKDLASJDKLFJ#I think he would lean into it so hard. he would have so much fun with it.#Boothill is hiding in the shadows waiting for the right moment to strike. He's listening to these two grunts gossip about him.#'Wow did you hear about that crazy cowboy. I heard they found the bodies with pieces missing.' Boothill has the biggest grin.#'I heard one time they didn't find the bodies at ALL.' 'That's terrifying!' Boothill has to bite his scarf to keep from cackling.#He keeps telling himself no no he can't reveal himself yet he's waiting for the patrol switch he has a goal today!!#'Thank the Preservation this place is safe. I wouldn't wanna be off-planet with a scary guy like that wandering around-#-especially if he really is eating people.' 'Surely that's not true though right? ...Right?'#Well. Look the point is he held out as long as he could ok.#And unable to resist the temptation any longer Boothill melts out of the shadows from behind them#right in between the two of them#and his voice is practically right in their ears as he tells them#'What'd ya think I got the teeth for?'#run boys run KFLAJKLFDJSKLFJDKLSJFDK

“We need more morally gray characters” you guys can barely handle topaz and jade.
#yeah I said it#hsr#Honkai star rail#topaz hsr#topaz and numby#jade#jade hsr#hsr Jade#hsr topaz#like they’re not good but their not mustache twirling villains y’all#yes topaz did mess up by not telling bronya the actual success rate if she accepted the deal#but you have to remember she was indoctrinated since she was a kid that the ipc was good and that those who surrendered to its power will#succeed and thrive#hell they may have used examples like boothills home planet as warnings#of course she would think the ipc is good and will#help jarillo#her home planet was on the brink of collapse when the ipc came and it was quite literally life saving#even though it did mean robbing the future of a population to work for them topaz so grateful for the ipc and sees it as a way to pay back#you guys are forgetting that she was willing to sacrifice her position and that she was happy the planet could be independent#now we don’t know much about jade but she doesn’t go seeking out desperate people#those people come to her and accept those deals knowing full well every detail and it’s cost#she may get some pleasure from it sure but she’s just doing business with people#and yet I see people view them as villains and yet not call out aventurine with helping the ipc take control of penacony#he’s a victim yes but so is topaz when it comes to the ipc manipulating them#topaz has good Intentions and is just following what she has been taught since childhood#look I love aventurine I really do but he’s not pure and at the end of the day both him and topaz are people they are flawed#they’re not completely bad or good#sorry it was mainly about topaz we don’t know much about jade and I might change my mind on her when we do

Lost my original post of this from the other day but I genuinely don't understand how Black Butler discourse ever shifted into the does Sebastian ~really~ like Ciel or is Ciel just dinner line of conversation that is pervasive as it is because Sebastian is the one that has absorbed his whole existence into Ciel's. Sebastian's face is what Ciel wants Sebastian's whole purpose is doing things for Ciel Sebastian's every hell of a butler yes my lord speech is about how he's Ciel's and Ciel is the one going around saying shit like whatever Sebastian is just my pawn 💅
#like sjdjdkdd??????#it's not that i don't think ciel loves sebastian per se bc. well. i don't think he'd ever process it in terms like that no matter what...#...kind of relationship they have bc the most important thing to him is getting him to do tasks like a dog and proving he will over and over#which is why sebastian does it all so overkill#but the most acknowledgement you ever get that ciel likes sebastian is stuff like idk the fucking book of atlantic you did good today#or if we're feeling really crazy the you were the only demon there line#like the dynamic has gotten way skewed in fandom away from the actual text#and i know why but it's still annoying bc i am not even saying this in a shippy way bc i don't give a fuck about ships#but they're so crazy entwined and in completely incomparable inhuman situations that it literally has no merit on this story to sit and...#...definitely piece together how this relationship works with real life normie standards like it literally is going to fit into no box of...#...what we think of as friends or siblings or parents or partners bc no victorian guy on the face of the earth has a real pet demon.#it's so boring you're missing the bigger picture that they're everything to each other and completely stuck together forever#does x mean y mean z? (least problematic answer only) they're stuck together! forever!#and no one has demons in real life it's all comparable to real life nothing#other than the asthma that's real#anyway. it's like fandom has made up a version of this story in their heads that is so devoid of anything that makes the story the story#twitter is like another planet for this i am mostly talking about twitter where i have been looking for news about the anime and oh boy#i have said this before but sebastian doesn't have a grip on human relationships bc he's not one and ciel doesn't give a fuck#but like this post started with and strayed from. well. sebastian isn't even trying to act like he's indifferent. ciel actually is.#and we're all missing several funny bits from that just trying to fit everything into a box#we could have more interesting conversations if we got past the same three people have been having for 20 years#kuroshitsuji#my kuro posts

Lovw how humans and Predators actually get along fine for the most part when we aren't actively being hunted by them.
Like they are us in many ways and sometimes they're dicks but sometimes there's a third guy here who we both hate and then a human ends up w their respect because of their warrior based cultural standards. Very curious what would happen if a human got stranded on their planet for once(not in an enclosed arena for hunting season. Like actually just randomly dropped into one of their cities). We haven't really seen how the average Predator lives. Can you imagine if the only humans you meet were dictators, rich fucks who hunt giraffes in their free time, and like...idk soldiers in active war zones?
#i say predator for lack of a better term for them#i want to see the average Predator day so bad#what's it like on their planet?#is it one country on their planet that makes a habit of going out and hunting other species on other planets?#can you imagine if America went out into space but we only did it to play The Most Dangerous Game w alien civilizations#meanwhile every other country is like “dude you are making us look bad”#meanwhile I'm just here watching my little shows#not a part of any of that#idk if this guy who looked at the crash feed in Predator vs Alien back on their home planet is a dictator or not tbf#i have no idea of their government practices or their policies#I'd like to though

idk if there's anything in stories i get more petty about than poorly-written "main character shows up to a new place and meets everyone" character introduction scenes
#personal#they make me SO ANGRY ahglkmsfkl#it isnt just the trope of showing up and meeting everyone either#like it works for me in some things!#i think pacific rim does a really good job with characterization for example#and it's got a sequence of scenes where raleigh arrives and the audience is introduced to the shatterdome & important characters basically#my working theory until i do some more analysis is that stories that do it well leave some mystery#like in pacrim you don't find out mako's whole deal immediately upon meeting her#pentecost doesnt go ''this is mako mori. one of our brightest. her whole family was killed by a kaiju and she wants to be a pilot''#he says she's in charge of the mk 3 restoration program#and she doesn't immediately offer up her backstory because why would she. real people dont do that#the russian pilots dont show up and go ''hello we are russian''. pentecost just tells raleigh briefly who they are#etc. newt & hermann's intro scene is one of my favourite bits of characterization Ever and you don't learn that much about hermann during i#all the info you get is from newt being chatty and ridiculous and mocking hermann and putting his foot in his mouth. i.e. newt being newt#and that's what makes it good!#when chuck and herc are introduced you learn absolutely nothing about chuck. hes just there in the background#he and raleigh look at each other for a second and you kinda go ''who's that guy''#AND THATS ENOUGH TO ESTABLISH HIM AS ''PROBABLY IMPORTANT LATER''#idk idk but so many books do this kind of scene so badly that it pisses me off#so many POPULAR books too. like i either am uniquely annoyed about this or other people are way more willing to overlook it lol#as far as examples go. the house in the cerulean sea and every heart a doorway were the books where i got so annoyed i immediately DNFed#i feel like the long way to a small angry planet does it a little bit but not as bad. i cant remember for sure it's been a while#i did finish that one but i had extremely mixed feelings about it#and now im reading a big ship at the edge of the universe and. once again it is happening#aaaargh

wasn't going to share these because i was too busy being overwhelmed by 'happy to be here!!!' to look cool or composed in photos, but after some consideration i decided that's not something i need to be ashamed about actually :P
#the shame spirits in my head: um you CAN'T show anyone those because…? Idk you don’t look like a model? Anyway ew you can’t.#OBJECTION: i'm literally just some guy. actually. 👍#the shame spirits: ... sustained.#<- fighting (myself) for my life over the right to exist as a human in the world i guess. today i emerge victorious :P#very beautiful very powerful 💪#also WHAT DID I EXPECT i'm literally balancing on a rock wearing double denim. of course i look like that because that's what a photo IS!!!#it's what you look like in real life being a real life human in the real life actual world!!!!!!!#peace and love on planet earth we are being nice to ourselves in earnest now <3

hello tunglr, this week a guy I told I didn’t want to see anymore followed my Instagram
Again
#it’s giving ick#what part of ‘we don’t have the same goals in life’ makes him think I’m gonna want him back#like I’m sorry but it’s super weird that you’re telling me what you want to name your kids#when I thought I made it pretty clear that I don’t want kids#and why did he send me solangelo fan art and say ‘please’ in like the middle of the night#mf im just a guy#I look like any other trans guy on the planet#there’s gotta be one somewhere who wants to settle down with you#I’m still living my musician dreams knowing I haven’t written a song in two years#fr why is this guy so obsessed with me#it’s a massive ego boost but holy damn am I not interested#like idk man if you want me to kick my cat out of the room to literally watch a movie#it’s just not gonna work out#I come with a contract that says we have to have a cat#and if you don’t like cats#it’s not going to work out#it’s just not#neon speeks#adventures of neon

I literally never realised until today that the only difference between hurricanes typhoons and cyclones is location 🥴
#ik there are a bunch of gaps in my basic world knowledge and i have a notes doc where i keep a list of stuff to read up on later#but i have no idea how to evaluate which things are actually common knowledge that im lacking and which things are trivia#did you guys know these were all the same type of storm??#i remember finally realising that planets are round for the same reason astronauts' drink droplets go spherical in 0g#and two friends looking at me like yes duh are you dumb how did you not figure that out earlier. and i felt like a moron.#this one feels like basic knowledge i should be embarrassed for not knowing but at this point im past shame

Hey, in the prev ep of Secret Invasion, why did the skrull pretending to be the guy with the nuclear codes give a shit that Fury threatened his fake son
#my brother just asked me this#and my only response was that... maybe it's not very well written 🤷♂️#if there is a real reason then i did not comprehend it#woes of emily#mcu#secret invasion#also thinking about how stupid it makes fury look#like there are 1 million of these guys on the planet#and you had no idea ???#you're like THE guy. who's supposed to know things#i also just don't give a shit about any of it#it all feels so meaningless#sorry for main tagging hate/wank lol let me know if there's something i can tag it as lol#but also. is there anyone who likes this series uncritically

Thinking abt my dupe ocs again... Maybe Quinn does have hashtag issues actually
#rat rambles#oni posting#oc posting#theyre very well known and liked amongst all the colonies as y'know. they helped found all of them.#and theyve always been very friendly and kind and they have always taken their responsibilities incredibly seriously#and when they get time to be on a planet they relish it as they have a great deal of appreciation for the beauty of these worlds#but one thing that has always been a thing for them is that they've never rly had like. friends amongst these colonies#partially because of them having to travel constantly but even when they get time to hang out more theyve sort of unconsciously trained#themself to be a bit emotionaly detached from those around them#it also doesnt help that theyre a digger and usually one of like 2 or 3 on any given planetoid#which earlier on meant thar they rarely encountered other dupes and late on left then with little to do as most of the ongoing work was#already being managed by others specifically trained for the role#so the isolation started to get to them and they started to get rly antsy and didn't know why or how to fix it#when the printing pod went offline they were one of the ones more calm abt the matter due to them being generally more used to the unknown#and this combined with their general good reputation lead to a lot of dupes looking to them for direction and answers alongside burt#this actually made quinn feel rly good for a while since it was their excuse to actually talk to ppl regularly and in more personal ways#theyd hear out ppls anxieties and ideas and newest passions and goals and theyd actually feel like theyre hearing the words said#they liked the feeling of everyone wanting to be around them and seeking them out even on other planetoids#they'd get phone calls and people taking breaks from their work to come say hi and it made them feel real#but as time went on and their fellow dupes became more and more self reliant they began to seek them out less and less#because why bother someone so important and busy when you dont need to right?#and this lead to quinn going wait no why did you all leave me again :(#it felt like before but worse because now they actually had started considering a lot of these guys friends#and they still had no idea how to reach out themself without a work reason and as such they sorta started dissolving again#and its during this time when they start missing the pod and start to get more upset that shes gone#they end up returning to the original partially to be closer to her and partially because it feels the most like home to them#there they start to slowly learn to reach out themself as they sort of sit in a corner watching burt work while shaking like a small dog#this at first is very unwanted by burt who is stressed as hell but they end up forcing him to stick to an actual shift instead of just#working until he passes out and this allows them to hang out while they force him to have downtime with them to keep him from exploding#it becomes a nice comfort time for them both as they rly havent hung out much since the first like 100 cycles or so

ocean and cod empires....the silurians/sea devils do you see the vision????
I do see the vision anon, I’m not sure it would have much relevance in hermit who specifically because it’s s1 empires, but I do see it perfectly 20/20 vision
#hermit who#oh silurians how dirty Moffat did you#why did he have to make them sexy (said with all the sadness of someone who watches anime and the Roman cable dragons are always waifus and#not actual dragons)#silurians baby I’m so sorry Moffat did that to you#my favourite lil weird guys with a fucking third eye laser Thing#they were so much more fish back in 3s days smhhhhhhh#i think that vastra should have looked like an og Silurian and Still have been in a loving lesbian relationship#but without the yikes people eating part#that was Not in 3s era#they just wanted to take over the earth cuz technically it’s their planet we just happened to also evolve here#anyways#wait hold on did auto correct make ‘romancable’ into Roman cable up there?

one day when i am not busy dying on the inside and out i will write an honest-to-god essay about how people are, for the lack of a better descriptor but simultaneously for the lack of a more perfect one, too edgy about five.
#like yeah five is an edgy game and the darkest in the series and gloomier than all of its predecessors but. i lack the words for it now but#there are important little moments in five where light shines through the carpet haphazardly thrown over a pile of garbage that oft get#ignored in favor of pushing the agenda that everyone in five is filth down to the core and that's just not true#i just- deeeeeeep sigh. people are so shallow sometimes man#this is how we get those characters that do not resemble the original in the slightest that either take one trait of the given character an#then bloat and exagerrate it until the character is a caricature of themselves OR projections of what the people would like these character#to BE in order to... be able to wrap their heads around them and their motivations more easily‚ i guess??#i don't know it feels to me like people just don't want to bother with the intricacies of complex characters and that's how the wood plank#versions of characters get created and then passed around ad infinitum#sweet grouchy baby boy who never did anything wrong ever. man who is either an innocent little big guy or satan himself. guy who is#objectively one of the most flawed individuals in the series being worshipped as a hero (griffith syndrome). guy who is either depicted as#an obnoxious playboy who only cares about getting laid and having as much skin exposed as possible at all times or the most vile man on#planet earth while being neither. the fucking. masochist cyborg thing. i'm gonna explode#oh and if you point out that there needs to be depth to any analysis of these characters if you are to do them justice you end up with a#gaggle of people saying oh yeah of course everyone in here is awful and they all have pig hearts#and i'm just wondering why this is the default conclusion most come to and not‚ you know‚ the thought that complexity does not inherently#imply rottenness but rather that even in the most horrible of situations you can find something good#i'm not the happiest or the most fortunate of individuals but i still refuse to believe in the idea of inherent evil that's being sold for#cheaper than a copy paper pack these days#but that has nothing to do with this my point is if you're trying to do media analysis you've got to look beyond... i don't have a word for#this... i guess you could call them fanmade stereotypes? no that's not it‚ my point is that people need to open their eyes to how complex#motivations and circumstances and human connection are and face that complexity head on instead of rubbing the story with sandpaper until#it's satisfiable to them#logs

I’m feeling really proud about the things I did this weekend at work for my favorite of our events/duties. And if I’m being honest the stuff I put together and the way I briefed my coworkers on what to do and my public interaction + the things I’m envisioning for the future… I keep thinking about when my coworker told me “if anyone is going to take over for [museum] paul and match his level of enthusiasm, it’s going to be you”
like modesty aside I feel really good about what I did/will do and I just really feel like I’m channeling MP a lot and that’s just so super.. 2me
#mp#I actually just found a video of him doing a short 2min public program from a few years ago#and 💕💕#that guys incredible#there is no one like him on the planet#I’m so so grateful I met him and had the opportunity to learn from him#just a wonderful human being#and educator#I miss him#I love the event we did too it’s just full of people I really love doing things I really care about and I feel so welcome by them it’s nice#it’s nice I can just be grateful to him and have love for him and be proud of myself ..all by myself#I know I don’t need him which is good but i still just miss him.#it would just be nice to be able to communicate with him about any of this#I miss working with him and making myself and work better through his constructive criticism and ideas and advice and example#and I miss him telling me he’s proud of me and praising me#and I miss when he didn’t need to say anything and did that cheeky ‘oh just look at you’ smile#and I miss watching a master at work#and I miss being around him as a person
