honestly does anyone else think that the what:if routes are perhaps telling us that some sort of collision between subaru and reinhard is just inevitable in nearly every route
#re:zero#my game theory. i mean. light novel theory... is that somewhere somehow down the line subaru will have to face reinhard#and when that happens he will be his worst obstacle yet like in most alt routes#made worse by their relationship at this point#but also maybe perhaps UNLIKE in all the alt routes something will be different#and i dont mean that in a good way. im thinking maybe subaru could finally figure out The Trick to beating the strongest man alive#somehow.#and it might involve garfiel based on some stuff thats been foreshadowed who knows#what exactly would beating entail though? he cant die bc of the divine protection of the phoenix#but that being said if he somehow had all his divine protections taken away i mean... hed actually be relatively weak imo#his body would still probably remember how to move like a sword saint (like therisia's did in arc 5)#but like that can also be a bad thing like#would his body perhaps also forget that he has to ACTUALLY DODGE PROJECTILES bc they wont just magically miss him anymore?#will he try to walk on water only to sink like an idiot?#will he not check the label on the sugar only to find out its salt?#either way he wouldnt be the strongest man alive anymore hed just be a skilled swordsmen. julius could probably match him at that point#which im sure would be surreal to juli after years of admiration+envy+being gay about it

Reading Henry VI Part 3 is like some kind of morality test. I’ll cheer somebody on, set my book down to grab a snack or go to work or whatever and think holy shit, they’re a war criminal. I support war crimes?
#shakespeare#3 Henry VI#this is about the York torture scene#I don’t know if it’s more impressive that Margaret made herself so badass that I was completely willing to overlook the war crimes#or that York is so punchable that I still don’t really feel bad about cheering her on#fucking get his ass#grieve to make me merry York#how many lines does giving a man a handkerchief covered in his young child’s blood cross?#perhaps a lot#the wars of the roses#shakespeare’s histories

I have learnt things about Geto that I wish I could unlearn
#I think I'm getting about the same amount of spoilers as a few weeks ago except now I understand them#But like. I expected so much of him#Seeing gifs of that one scene in which Gojo gets distracted because of Geto almost made me watch this a year ago#Geto was actually my favourite character in that one JJK fanfic I read that I mention so often even if he had literally one scene#I know so much of the emotional turmoil and conflict in JJK and Gojo in particular depends on him#And you're telling me he's Thanos?#I learnt a few days ago that everything pretty much happens in one year. That there's one year between Geto's death and Gojo's#I thought it would be like ten years. Ten years of the act haunting him#But no? So it's not a broken teenager who has these ideas and is killed by another teenager to stop him?#It's a what? ~30yo man saying Light levels of stupidity? Even worse perhaps?#Goodness I hope this is not so. I hope this is better written than what I am seeing#Because goddammit I can't do it. It would kinda ruin every emotional scene from then on?#That one scene I was so looking forwards about patting Gojo's back or whatever. The one in which Gojo gets distracted. It just. I don't know#I won't be able to be moved if Geto doesn't work xD#I was fearing I wasn't going to like him a lot because my expectations were big but oh my god please not like this#This is way worse than I expected. Someone tell me he actually makes sense. What's the point of this whole political play#in which no one is fully wrong and no one is totally right otherwise? What is the point of the haunting. This feels just idiotic xD#And I don't care about the traumas and all that. That works for the teen not the ~30yo man#It would have worked if Gojo would have killed him like 1-2 years after everything not like a few months ago. Last winter#After like ten years a 30yo man should have realised this plan sucks.#Even if it's utilitarian. Who is going to make clothes? Buildings? Streets and railways? Bread??? Go have a talk with Nanami please#We have been told there are not a lot of jujutsu sorcerers. How are you going to fulfill all those needs out of nothing?#And even if it were little by little so the needs could be getting fulfilled little by little too#If you decimate humans won't that cause more curses? I guess he's thinking on the long run but still this plan seems like a mess#I hope it makes more sense than it's looking it will make because of my god this would truly be the last nail on the coffin xD#I am being more and more tempted to get to Utahime and then just drop this. This is breaking my heart xD#It could be soooo good and it always almost is#And then. AND THEN. Abfksbfndbfkan#Jen pick me up. Come solve this. I am scared xD#I talk too much

thinking about this post but also it's more than that. do you ever think about how stories starring men are allowed to be about humanity but stories starring women have to be about Womanhood
#it's just the same discourse from like the 2010s about how girls will read about boys but boys won't read about girls#and we haven't gotten anywhere#even when it's like in a feminist way!!! there's room for stories about Womanhood obviously#but believe it or not ''women'' is not the only significant trait or experience that that half of the population has#and frankly I think it's counterproductive to focus every woman-centric narrative on the Woman aspect in some kind of feminism way#especially I feel like in adaptations that get a more hashtag feminism focus! like that story was about a person that was a woman#and you made it into a story about Women. which. ok#but was it not enough for her to just be a human being#experiencing human experiences that perhaps men could relate to#but a story with a male main character is allowed to exist on its own terms#no one's like. okay the main theme of this is obviously something to do with masculinity#(unless that's actually true)#a man is still the default character to explore your ideas and adding the ''girl'' trait is seen as like this extra distortion#that you would add only if you wanted to explore Womenness#like everyone's putting a guy in situations but hey maybe your guy could be a woman#even if the specific situation doesn't call for it#did you ever think of that?#and a lot of it I think is because men are conditioned not to relate to female characters#so making a male character would work to expand your audience because female readers are still willing to invest in him but not vice versa#but that doesn't mean we should just keep perpetuating the cycle#and only making stories about women specifically for women about Womanhood#that's just cementing the problem even further#obviously this is all a generalization and there are exceptions#this also applies to things like race#like in the US if you're making a story with a nonwhite main character suddenly it has to be like About Race or something

if you draw enough monster ocs, when you go back to drawing a human character, it feels like "sameface syndrome" everytime, by virtue of their face being. human.
#toy txt post#or maybe i am just sameface syndrome#but also different face syndrome#two characters will have the same face but then the next time i draw those characters its a different face than they had last time!#i know part of it is being out of practice but also there is definitely an element of feeling constrained by human facial structure lmao#the monsters have Their Own Problems but like. no one has a face like bokrae no matter how inconsistent i am about drawing her#her features are iconic enough to her that you can tell everytime#birdie???? i faceclaimed eartha kitt for her and im still struggling cos i feel weird about faceclaiming as a concept#but even then 😭 one time i was trying to give headloose a face and someone was like wow he looks like birdie!#me 😭😭😭😭😭 what!!!!!! hes not supposed to!!!!!!!!!!!!!#i need to practice. features#you know the worst part about coming up w a bunch of fuckin Scenarios in my brain for ocs is that i have even fucking Drawn them yet#to give them like. iconic staple features and figure out what their faces look like. which feels like it would really help to have that#knowledge and muscle memory before i jump into trying to draw intense scenes with difficult poses!!#not to mention. listen. i can do the monster faces. somewhat. the bodies??????????? well for one. theyre too big everytime#im convinced i could be trying to draw bokrae on like a full ass wall size paper like a mural thing and run out of room. it just keeps#happening. i have no sense of scale for them either. by which i mean i struggle w scale already and also cant decide what i want it to be#and ive tried to handwave it away by being like ohhh uh. birdie casts spells on them to change their sizes for convenience but also#no. perhaps that explanation works for other ppl. @ myself tho its not good enough i Know Better!!!!!!#agh!!!!!!! i really need to figure out bokrae's Teeth also. like i dont. i coukd get away with it. but i should. and i want to.#anyway all this to say that i need to give these characters faces and body designs (actually the body designs for humanoid ocs is the easy#part. the faces are whats stumping me? well. i need more practice w all the body types again but like i Know what im Going For at least.#for the most part anyway. havent fully figured out heights. struggling w characters that i want to make short but give imposing tall energy#on occasion? birdie can be short all day long no problem. I want Alasdair to be short enough that he has a bunch of short boyfriends that#feel tall around him? bytte was going to be like 6ft max but then i thought about making her taller and like. what if i made her taller#headloose is not that /short/ but he is Not Tall and prolly pretty lean? twink build for sure#and of course all these short /tall distinctions come with a bias of relativity to my own height which i categorize as medium height#but short ppl call me tall and insist its not average and tall ppl call me short. (5'6) and then i have to factor in how the gender changes#the dynamic of a height like my height is Short For A Man but medium to tall for a Woman. which id argue is medium height bc mens heights#are socially held to high standards (hehe) and also i know ethnicity/race is also a factor? but im out of tags. rip. bye

Sigh, good morning everypony 😔 I had to get up way too early and now I'm on the bus once again headed to work.
But sometime I wanna talk about is the fact that Sportacus is actually canonically like?? CRAZY good at knitting??? 😳 ngl it honestly kind of does something to me ahdnfjfjfmg
#jane journals#self insert talk#🍎 apple of my eye 🍎#worrysport#LIKE? HOW IS HE SO PERFECT AT EVERYTHING 😭💖💖💖#idk for context i guess sportacus loses his memory in an episode#and robbie tricks him into not being a hero and serving ice cream and also sends him off with some yarn and knitting needles#to make him...sit still i guess? 😂 which is very hard for him to do tbh that man has chronic ZOOMIES#its so cute!! 🥺💖💖💖#and somehow he's immediately perfect at it and knits a super long scarf in an inhumanly short amount of time#and ngl it made me think about...knitting something 👉👈 not for me tho#but for a baby perhaps? 😭😭😭

i literally go insane thinking about drayton/johnny i cant imagine how insufferable my brain is going to be when nancy gets here
#like do u ever think about how drayton was probably the closest thing johnny had to a father.#do u think drayton always had this distain for him or was it just the pflugerville thing that pushed him over the edge#do u ever think about how they probably spend a lot of time together if they both work at the gas station#do u think grandpa liked johnny? he speaks fondly of the old man do you think he really knew him or tales from nancy made him respect him#perhaps drayton was jealous bc J was on his way to being a better killer than grandpa whilst D isnt a good killer#do you think drayton considers him Family#do you think about how no matter what the answer is he still treats him like family and cleans up his messes

“New Kids on the Block,” Spider-Woman (Vol. 8/2023), #7.
Writer: Steve Foxe; Penciler and Inker: Ig Guara; Colorist: Arif Prianto; Letterer: Joe Sabino
#Marvel#Marvel comics#Marvel 616#Spider-Woman vol. 8#Spider-Woman 2023#Moon Squire#Hellrune#Liberty#Cadet Marvel#Titan#oh my gosh they actually made Moon Squire a thing#I remember him popping up on a variant cover for Moon Knight (Vol. 9/2021) no. 28#but I had completely lost the thread on him#and I guess I was just so excited about Kaine’s first major appearance after years of being in comics limbo#that I didn’t connect the dots on who that white-cowled figure was in a single panel of Jessica Drew’s story in Web of Spider-Man 2024 haha#that and I planned to post this way sooner but instead I went on vacation#ANYWAY and perhaps most critically….do the guys know that on the opposite coast Khonshu’s roped a minor into his machinations?#(or at least that’s what the public believes)#I’m just thinking of that one panel in vol. 8 where Jake Marc and Steven all stop to think about how much they love Diatrice#like I KNOW the business with Jeff Wilde did NOT end well but…#I think MK would brave even San Francisco if he caught wind that he had a little mini-me running around#even if it was to perhaps knock some sense into the kid#(I don’t think anyone on Marvel’s staff would go for Moon Knight having a kid sidekick seeing as some people chafe even with#the Midnight Mission supporting characters…but the very small part of me that is still a sap thinks it could be sweet#if MK proper and this kid got to meet)

I have been re-attempting Enot, and I've actually managed to get to Chimney Canopy!
It is actually one of the easier places to be, as you have infinite yeeks as either food or lizard bait, though it sucks that you kinda have to use them to do anything (if you don't have a yeek you get exhausted after a single jump, which makes moving around miserable. Luckily, they spawn every time you leave a pipe. Except when they randomly don't. It is very inconsistent).
I have not managed to get to the echo tower spawn yet though. The combination of unfair creature spawns, and guaranteed pre-cycles (which forces you to move to a new shelter every cycle in the rain, in a region full of open spaces and bottomless pits. It is totally super fun.) has made consistently staying at max karma very difficult.
#yes I am actually trying to beat enot's campaign#I am either very determined or insane. Perhaps both.#I was tempted to just turn off pre-cycles but I decided not to.#This is like the Path Of Pain of rain world. Yeah it probably isn't worth it at all but I'm still gonna try.#Even if just for the sake of knowing I managed to beat it#Though I never actually did beat path of pain. it made me cry a lot. anyway.#I've started working on the Enot Soft Fuzzy Man animation thingy#So far it is just a few basic sketches but I have actually started it!#I don't know if I'll ever finish it but hopefully I will!#I really hope there aren't any super yeek fans here. I've killed like hundreds of them.#for some reason they have a habit of clipping into the floor.#like 40 percent of them have done that

Fat Man on a Beach (HTV, 1974)
"I'm going to read some more poems now. Erm. It may be that if you want to go and have a cup of tea, this would be a good time. I know that's what you masses are like. The mention of poetry and off you go."
#fat man on a beach#b.s. johnson#classic tv#documentary#htv#michael bakewell#aled vaughan#a frankly incredible and truly unique piece of television. according to Johnson's biographer‚ the novelist Jonathan Coe‚ this film was#described in tv listings at the time as a documentary about Porth Ceiriad‚ a rather beautiful beach on the Llŷn Peninsula in North Wales#it.. is not that. i can only imagine the baffled reactions of an idle audience tuning into HTV in 1974. true‚ this is entirely filmed at#Porth Ceiriad‚ but any element of travelogue (or even really of documentary) is dispelled almost immediately: the first lines heard are#those of an unseen narrator who tells us we are about to watch a film about a fat man on a beach. 'Do you really want to watch that?' he#asks incredulously. it's a challenge‚ the first of several from Johnson‚ who spends the next 40 minutes variously pottering about the sands#mugging to the camera‚ reciting poetry (his own and others; literary and dirty) and baring his soul. I've never seen anything quite like it#I'm not sure that much has been made that is quite like it tbh. Johnson was a fiercely original‚ brilliant mind; he was a novelist#a poet‚ a critic and a filmmaker. he was also‚ when this first aired on uk tv‚ dead. a few weeks after completing filming on this‚ his#final work‚ he sadly took his own life. i mention it not as a grim factoid but because it is a vital contextualisation of this film; the#play has been described before (and play is not the right word) as a sort of loose form manifesto from Johnson‚ a laying out of his own#peculiar philosophies and interests in a disjointed manner‚ peppered with asides and distractions and filming mishaps (all kept in the#final product). for me‚ the feeling was inescapable that this was like viewing a suicide note. whether Johnson had already come to some#conclusion on that front or not‚ the fact is that his own obsession with morbidity‚ with the spectre of death and of decay (it runs right#through his work‚ particularly his work in film) transforms this into something almost confessional. there's a section of the film where#the author recalls witnessing the aftermath of a traffic accident‚ a motorcyclist thrown through wire fencing and sliced like cheese#the absurdity of the comparison is lingered on‚ Johnson almost stalls and appears to lose his train of thought (briefly discussing instead#the modern mass production of cheese) but he also seems clearly affected‚ delivering the tale in a halting‚ reverent tone#not that this is all darkness and gloom; it's just as often funny‚ or surreal (the film frequently cuts away to a bunch of bananas‚ only#later explained by one of Johnson's biographical recollections) and includes visual puns‚ bad jokes and a few moments of physical comedy#the writer doesn't seem distressed. rather‚ he seems... if not at peace‚ then as though he has come to terms. confident in his own beliefs#and ideals. but perhaps that's reaching too far‚ or reading in what the viewer wishes to read in. the sad fact is that Johnson took his own#life‚ but he left us with a body of work unlike almost anything else‚ and which is still being celebrated and analysed today. rip bsj

i would like to announce that yesterday was the first time ever my parent gendered me correctly that too in public that too in two different languages. yesterday was a great day.
#oversharing on tumblr part unknown#at first i got shocked hearing ''him'' then he repeated the same sentence in hindi with ''ga'' and my face went :3#he was here for only one hour took the train back yesterday itself#either a) didnt want to make things uncomfortable because it was a brief meeting#or b) bengali man speaks different languages#perhaps the second one but still hard to believe it happened twice#yesterday was a nice day#today not so nice#yesterday's that lunch made me sick</3

guess who has a final due tomorrow and has hardly started working on it hahahaha...
#friday chats#my brain just will not stay in focus mode long enough. am i screwed? perhaps#man what happened :(( last year i was whipping out 1000-word essays that earned me decent Bs in under five hours#on the day the essays were due.#this year i've failed to turn in two essays and have struggled to complete most of my homework. esp this second semester#(not in a difficulty way in a ''i get home and i can't bring myself to do jack shit'' way)#it's like. as soon as i leave school premises my focus and energy go whoosh#obviously i've heard adults talking about senior-itis since freshman year#but they always made it sound like a laziness ''i'm almost done so idc anymore'' way#what the fuck is this then. i'm just TIRED and MISERABLE. i want to be DONE so i can REST#(and even then once school's out i'll still have fuckin' COLLEGE STUFF TO SORT OUT)#banging my head on the desk when does it END

sorry one of the worst things is the implication someone is not their gender because they’re doing it wrong especially when it’s framed in a progressive lens
#that male twitch streamer who has that extended ‘girl month’ and ppl say he’s trans or whatever. like why can’t a man dress like that and#still be a man. gender is made up and performative for everyone#and really think why a man who looks feminine isn’t perceived as a man yet a woman who dresses and looks masculine#Is still acknowledged as a woman (even if they’re joked or mistaken as a man. they’re still mainly viewed and respected as a woman)#does it perhaps stem from being seen as ‘feminine’ as lesser. And men can’t be that way unless they’re gay or actually a woman#Because ‘why would they’ otherwise?#This is western centric btw Ik ideas of gender and presentation are different culturally#also don’t twist this into some transmisogny the streamer has repeatedly said he’s a man
