Hello hello! Hope you’re recovering from the hackathon *pat pat*, I brought snacks for you! (What snacks do you like actually? Any Indo ones you particularly like? Street foods count! I rlly miss batagor, kue rangi and and… ah shoot I’m hungry now *sobs*)

I’ve been to your teahouse (blog) several times, yet for some reason I just realised smth. It’s how Zhongli greets the other customers when they first come in, the ‘My wife will be with you shortly.’ I just realised the *my* is italicized and I went hmm… someone’s possessive… I wonder how that someone would react if I were to steal you away for a bit? … I’m joking of course!

How goes your progress with the Guzheng? I like to think your partners convince you to perform at the Tea House one day. Zhongli and Wriothesley can attest to having something nice to accompany their tea, Al-Haitham would switch off his headphones to listen to you play and Neuvillette… has another dragon joined the teahouse? 👀

*is patted* thankiew... i went out to touch grass today (am still outside actually hahah) and i'm pleased to say that while i still am stressing over some things, it has really helped with the change of pace and de-stressing a bit...

snacks... ohhh i love sweet things!! i'm a sweet tooth so anything sweet with 'basic' taste (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry), i'll usually like... but if we're talking about indo-specific snacks then... molen!! lemper!!! keripik tempe (bro i love love love love fried tempe so much they're so good i can have them as lunch and dinner every day all day you can eat them with soto or pecek or pecel or rujak without/with kacang hrrrrrgghhhhhh)!!! kue Iekker (leker? idk what's the right spelling lmao)!!! hitam manis!!! 🤤

hahaha yeah!! i think most people wouldn't really catch it but that header almost always changes after an ebg or an event... the italicized version has been there since that april fool neuvillette blog revamp prank. and i'm pretty sure zhongli just goes "welcome. what would you like to order?" after that albedo ebg for a while... which implied meirin wasn't allowed to handle customers for a while *wink*

(ignore the noise in the background that's totally the teahouse's electricity generator making weird sounds, definitely not dragon growls yeah um yeah)

hakdjskdj mayhaps one day!!! i'm definitely not good enough to play a whole music by myself but one day i will! it's my target ٩( ᐛ )و

guzheng progress wise, i was finally given a score that would require two hands to play!!!!! and. i am. Struggling™️ HAHAHAH but this is good!! because it means i'm one small step closer to be able to train myself playing lovers' oath hehe ᰔᩚ i'm also learning the tremolo; i think i somewhat have the motion down (i.e. i'm using my wrist instead of my fingers as the main force for the motion) but i'm still struggling to build the strength to do it continuously and consistently. i'm struggling HARD to do it for 30 seconds. the goal is 1 whole minute so uh yeah hajdhsdj

...... and yes i don't talk about him much here, but the iudex is indeed around 👉🏻👈🏻 don't freak out if you see him at times haha

I rewatched An Unexpected Journey last night and I’ve never noticed just how entertained Elrond seems throughout the entire Rivendell section. Did he NEED to immediately surround the dwarves with his guards? No. Did he NEED to respond to insult with politeness in a language they don’t understand? No. But he is, and you can see him almost smirking about it.

And the Look™️ he sends Gandalf when he reminds him that he isn’t the only one standing guard over Middle Earth I could practically HEAR the “My mother-in-law has shown up unexpectedly and it’s your fucking fault” I had to rewatch that entire part of the movie a second time I was laughing so hard

omg same!! i recently rewatched the hobbit movies with a friend after watching rings of power and the whole dynamics changed for me!! like especially elrond and the dwarves cause like now youve got elrond who was friends (and mayhaps even more) with durin, he saved his life from a number of trolls! so ofc he would know how dwarves think and lets be real he prolly enjoys having them around! like arwen is in lothlorien, elladan and elrohir are out ranging most days and its been too long!

dude just wants to live a little! and its been too long since hes been around durin's folk, like yes they are not the same but he can see glimpses

and do not get me started on the added layer of galadriel and elrond and even if you leave the trop goggles off its still such hilarious scene, like elrond is so taken aback when gandalf says he isnt answerable to anyone like slow blink included. its giving 'i ratted you out to mom what about it' vibes

and then ofc there's saruman 'how do you do fellow teens' the white

(P.S just answer the ones you feel comfortable answering. Cause I'm really curious but like I dont wanna overstep, y-kneurr) anyways ----> 1.) who's the most relatable BSD character to you and why? 2.) You mentioned in your BSD violence analysis that you "suffer from a similar loss of truth on a daily basis" like Nikolai. Do you have OCD,if I may ask? Cause I do (symptoms) and it's a pain. 3.) Who's your fave BSD character and why? (lmao I love the vibe change) 4.) fav fiction work?

YESYESYES MUAH ILY TY FOR ASKING OVERSTEPPING IS SCRUMPTUOUS DO IT MORE OFTEN

relatable is absolutely nikolai. I used to say dazai because of the whole double-personality, depressed but goofy bla bla bla thing (i'm not like other girlzzz😋😋), but as I mentioned, I feel like they're opposites in their emotions. I am an emotional person; I feel things strongly and get irritated at my emotions. Both I and Nikolai fall on the "understands what is right and wrong but doesn't understand right and wrong" spectrum and I crave detachement from reality because I am detached from reality. Plus I would definitely develop a strong love/hate feeling towards anyone who understood me as well as I understand me. Close second is Ranpo but we do not need to get into that :D

I have no mental illnesses officially but honestly I can't say I think I have OCD. I think I'm just goofy 😩😩😩 but fr I don't think it's that deep, nowadays society, being emotional or thinking differently is shunned and my loss of reality is just a byproduct. mayhaps??? unsure tbh but i do hope ur symptoms aren't too bad bby i'll swordfight em for you <33

FAV??? OH GOD THAT'S LOADED because I love tachihara bc he's ABSOLUTELY HEAVENLY PERFECTION, lovecraft bc he's baby, and ranpo bc ranpo,,, but I HONESTLY DK?? I do appreciate the simultaneous complexity and simplicity of Fyodor's character, plus he a stinky cutie so that'll have to be my answer !! but my vibe n mood change like the weather so don't think too much abt it lol

Don Quixote de la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes, hands down. I've read it in three languages multiple times each, in terms of fiction there are so many nice books I've read but the thing about Don Quixote is that you get it all in one. The book is long and it's got romance action philosophy humour you name it. It's from like Shakespearean era so it has some funky vocabulary but it's so so good. Plot in a nutshell is that a man spends so much time reading chivalry novels that he becomes delusional and thinks that he IS a knight and goes on adventures which have their own subplots. (lowkey I think - I'M CONVINCED - that he's the one whose ability is the Book™️ in bsd bc it makes sense this is a theory of mine that I refuse to not believe) ANYWAYS GO READ IT RN 👹👹👹

THIS IS WHY VOTING FOR BIDEN MATTERS.

I don't care if you hate his guts. I don't care if you don't think he's ideologically pure enough for you. I don't care if you think he's too old.

For the record, I ALSO think he's too old, but given the choice between "too old, but will do the best he can for the most people possible, for as long as possible" vs "actual fucking fascist who wants all minorities FUCKING DEAD and would be IMMUNE FROM ALL CRIMES"????? I'm picking "too old" every time.

If you say you care about BIPOC folks, you'll vote for Biden.

If you say you care about trans folks, you'll vote for Biden.

If you say you care about queer folks, native folks, poor folks, rural communities, gun control, school lunches, the environment, climate change, green energy, social security, workers' rights... You'll vote for Biden.

Elections aren't something you can boycott.

If you don't vote, the election still fucking happens. The votes are still counted, except your opinion wasn't taken into account.

The candidate with the highest PERCENTAGE of the count gets the Electoral votes. You "not voting" won't change that.

No one looks at your non-existent ballot and goes, "oh wow, someone Made A Statement™️ here."

You voting for a 3rd party only EVER splits the Democratic percentage and always makes it easier for the Republican candidate to take the Electoral votes. This is basic math, because the GOP never splits up. This has happened every single time, throughout our almost 250-year history.

Your ballot doesn't exist, or you "protest voted" and so you did absolutely nothing... except make it even easier for Trump to become a fucking dictator with immunity for whatever human rights violations he commits.

You know who never fucking misses an election? Republicans. They always show up. Every. Damn. Time.

This isn't even "the quiet part out loud" anymore. They literally wrote a 920-page manual. Highlights include:

4.3mil people lose overtime protections

40 million people lose food stamps

Protections for women/children in DV situations are erased

SNAP/EBT/WIC programs are defunded

220k+ jobs erased

Roll back civil rights protections and diversity/inclusion laws and programs in govt, healthcare, education, workforce

Criminalize abortion

Criminalize homosexuality

Overturn gay marriage

Allow discrimination against foster children

Remove govt funding for child welfare programs

Deny access to student loans if the state allows "in state" tuition for undocumented immigrants

Stop all efforts for low-cost medication and erase those that already exist

Eliminate Head Start education program

Allow legal workplace discrimination based on race, gender, sex, disability

Relax/eliminate workplace safety laws

Weaken child labor protections

Eliminate funding for Public transit projects

Cut off weather, ocean, and climate data by disbanding the NOAA (no more weather predictions, hurricane/tornado/wildfire/storm/blizzard... Putting MILLIONS in danger from nature's worst, with zero warnings or govt funding to clean up/rebuild after)

Strip funding from public schools

Remove protections for LGBTQ+ public school students

Criminalize teaching anything LGBTQ+ related

Replace all non-partisan federal employees with partisan loyalists

Call out the National Guard as a personal military against blue states/cities

This shit is terrifying, and the list doesn't end there.

Refusing to vote, or voting for anyone who is not Biden, is going to be a literal death sentence for tens of millions of people, and for life as all of us know it.

The way the Electoral College is set up, a 3rd Party candidate CANNOT fucking win.

If you don't like the EC, that's fine. Join a grassroots or statewide organization to campaign against it. But not voting or voting 3rd party will not magically make the EC go away. It won't make anyone in Washington go, "gosh, mayhaps this system is outdated, let's ignore this election and redo the entire system of government!" It just won't. They won't notice your "protest".

But queer, Black, brown, poor, disabled, trans, and native communities will notice. And you'll notice when your life gets astronomically harder and more dangerous.

I'm old enough to remember when it was legal to fire someone for being gay. When it was legal to not rent to someone because they were gay. When your whole fucking LIFE could fall apart if someone outed you.

That's what will happen if Trump is elected again. It WILL, it's not a question.

If you give a single shit about ANY marginalized community, you need to vote for Biden.

Think about his administration (which is the single most progressive administration of my lifetime, by the way). Think of his VP, which will likely be Kamala again- if he were to die partway through his second term, his VP would then have the job for the remainder of the initial term. Think of the trans protections, the workers' rights, the medical laws and protections, the infrastructure bills that Biden has quietly gone about reforming-

That's what we NEED.

Don't you fucking dare say you care about us and support the marginalized, if you can't do the bare fucking minimum and vote to keep a fascist dictator who has sworn to destroy us out of office.

Putting this as a meme so maybe y'all will actually read it.

Held: Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts.

And this is why we cannot let Trump win another term: he now has complete immunity for any acts he "officially" performs as president. You thought he was bad before? Now he will have zero fear. He will do whatever he wants. And what he wants is outlined in Project 2025.

For the uni asks - 6, 10, 14, 36, 42!

Hi! thanks for asking :)

6. What do you want to do with your degree?

 either use it to find work in the museums world (or in like culture in general) or to pursue either a second masters or a phd mayhaps.....not 100% sure yet

10. What surprised you the most about university?

how easier it felt compared to high school in certain aspects! not saying that uni is easy, but as someone who struggles with attention in class and with intense procrastination, getting to have classes that genuinely interest me made it a bit easier.

14. What is your favourite professor like?

HAHA thank you for asking me this one anon.....ok cringe time.....Fav Prof™️ teaches a lot of classes about modern and contemporary art, but his main focus is contemporary art (mostly photography). I really like his classes because he’s into topics im really into as well, and his approach is more ‘visual culture’ oriented, which i really like. he seems to really like foucault and performance theory (kin). he teaches in a relatively classic way, but always makes us write essays and Think, which is something not all my profs do. his classes brought me a lot of cool things (berlin trip last year, getting to explore cool academic niches, getting to be published and work on the exhibition, and other cool stuff to come). he’s also the first prof i came out to, and he’s always been very kind and supportive to me. he’s also, ahem, very cute. im so gay for him. he’s tall, has an adorable german accent, grey hair and blue eyes. too bad he’s married to a woman 😔

36. How did your attitude towards studying and school change between high school and university?

uhhhh.....thats a though one. ive always thought that school and uni, ‘academic success’, idk what to call it, is often held in too high regards, esp in uni educated circles. that attitude i had in high school didnt change when i got into uni.

as for the studying and school as activities, i always hated studying (i never really study anyway, i just read my notes once or twice, make lil cards if i have time, and thats it). i liked my high school when i was in it, but since ive graduated i realized how wrong a lot of things were there (it was quite an elitist school, im glad i didnt become too much of a snob after being into that kind of environment skdfdjs), and i grew more critical of the school system in general.

42. What has been your favourite thing about university so far?

getting to study what i like, definitely. not having to do maths anymore. no more pe. and all the great people ive met!!
