found under a beijing opera performance
i feel a sense of impending doom
#indeed it is difficult to mark where one error ends and another begins#i appreciate genshins efforts but its really not that. significant#where i am its mostly supported by gov initiatives and funding#the smaller performers have a limited audience#mostly elderly#not to mention mhy is a chinese company#if anything its just cultural representation#i also wish they added more education on the art for overseas ppl#then i wouldnt see ppl using her singing to be sinophobic#or comparing any type of chinese opera art to her#though the former is an honest mistake i understand#playing genshin doesnt make you an expert on cn culture plz...

My next-door neighbors got in a shootout through their front door and booked it out of town a day or two later, abandoned their house and left the front door swinging open. I poked through a few weeks later to see what was up and the back bedroom had sharpie all over the walls, and this line I remember was featured very prominently, next to some Hitler quotes.
#turned out they were cooking meth and the other party involved in the shootout were also meth cooks#I lived in a town of like 200 people#mostly elderly

just came off my shift as an election judge and I honestly think we should make people do this. I support abolishing the draft, and I even think that jury duty can get complicated, but everyone in the country should be forced to learn about election procedure, then have to sit around for 14 hours and practice being customer service for democracy. I think that would fix us.
#is it fascinating scintillating work that will set you on fire for political discourse? no.#in my experience it is mostly making amiable conversation with elderly citizens#and occasionally complimenting people's penmanship#are some people....strange? absolutely yes.#and I heard even WEIRDER stories from my colleagues who were pollworkers before.#not even about the voters; about other pollworkers!#but I spent 14 hours (and some change) in a too-hot room half falling apart; I set up voting booths and counted colored tags#and was polite to everyone even the people who didn't talk or needed detailed explanations of every step.#I feel like it's victory enough.#anyway. enough on this subject! onto other things.#............................................at least until november when I'll do it again.#man's unending search for freedom

I know you prefer jason and Tim's "rivalry" to be Tim thinking everything's about him while jason doesn't know who he is (and I agree it's hilarious) I think for your time skip au, jason should totally knowing beef with Tim.
not for Robin reasons but since jason doesn't get to beat up his dad he should get to beat up someone else's dad and he heard one of the robins after him is a shit dad so this counts towards his catharsis
(he still doesn't actually know Tim's name)
Jason makes it his mission that since he can't beat up his own shite elderly dad he'll just have to make do by beating up everyone else's shite dad's this just so happens to include Tim and also Dick
#ask#anon#tho maybe not dick#mostly bc when he sees his next target is Dick#he goes#oh sorry your too on the elderly side to beat up too#might accidentally break your hip#which really does more damage to dicks psyci then the actual beat down would have

society if small local thrift stores that have nice stuff at good prices were open even just one evening a week. or perhaps even normal afternoon hours
#they're all like open from 10-11 am every second weekday 2-3:30 pm on mondays and thursdays and 3:45-4:10 pm every 2nd full moon#like i get that these are mostly smaller church-owned operations that rely on the volunteer service of elderly women and the obvious#solution to this is to volunteer yourself but like. why is this the only option besides goodwill and value village (enemies of the people)

malevolent enjoyment would increase 200% for me personally if it was about lesbians. it’s alright now, but. Lesbians
#Malevolent#malevolent podcast#like it’s got some problems with sexism aside from the fact that everything’s voiced by one guy too scared to voice non-elderly women#but mostly I want fucking Jane Doe or whatever yelling and whispering and hooting and hollering#in some rando dead kid dead friend aspec but don’t know it widow’s ear

"We can get through this by working together, reach out to your friends, community is all we have, a social network will be your security in the world, now is the time to lean on others!"
I do agree, and it's scientifically sound (pretty sure there is data about how people with better social networks live longer and etc) but also....augh..... what about the severe social issues, difficulty to leave the house, physical issues which lead to like zero socialization energy a majority of the time, etc. etc. Social support can be a replacement for structural support, but.. I guess I just wish it didn't have to be. Community is extremely difficult to build, even moreso if you're someone who has issues with social cues or group conversations or even just being around others in the first place. And blah, nuance, of course I'm just complaining or maybe being too negative or maybe misunderstanding, but, I hardly have the energy to brush my hair once every 2 months.. how am I supposed to maintain a wide social network and be active in a Community and Join Groups lol... sometimes it kind of feels like "er.. well if thats my only option then...... ruh roh". It's overwhelming
#Kind of like some post I saw a long time ago talking about how even the meanest shittiest most difficult to get along with#elderly people or whaever still deserve to have some sort of systems in place to support them so they're not just relying on the#grace of relatives or etc. who may not be able to deal with them. Not saying that I'm like mean and cruel or anything#but the fact of the matter is in most social situations either I am compromising or the other person is. Not in like an ~`ouuu im so weirdd#nobody willever understand my quirky swagg hee heee~' way but like a.. Just factually the things that make me happy and comfortable#are often incompatible with people. The way I communicate and process things is different from the way other people do and that#is always a barrier. I cannot have ''easy''' interactions. Even with 'understanding' people there is nearly always a significant#amount of effort. You can't walk into a group of people and then be like ''okay you guys all have to wear#masks and you also cant play music too loud and also we should communicate turns of speaking very clearly so group conversations#arent too stressful. and also i need this and that and we have to do this and that and '' etc. etc. You CAN. And some people will#go along with that. but they will ALWAYS secretly resent you for it. You will be the one person they're relieved to not have to be around.#theyre glad when you dont show up since they can go back to doing things however they want and not masking and all these boring#annoying things. OR you can say none of that and just deal with the loud music and the talking and the unmasked people. but then#YOU'RE compromising. and no matter how nice they are it's exhausting to be around and youre just further alienated#while in the presence of people and uncofmrtoabel the whole time.#Which I'm not saying the only form of community is a group setting specificially but just giving that as an example lol#I just wish there were a better option than ''well learn to socialize normally or just suffer then'' . Which I know is not what people are#saying. I guess I just always feel a bit scared when 'community is the answer'. Since its not like 'oh im just socially anxious and need to#get out of my shell~!' or something thats really that remedy-able. It's like.. my mostly unchangeable physical health issues combined#with the mostly unchangable literal way that my brain processes sensory informationand other things means that interacting with#others in a normal and easy way is incredibly difficult and often exhausting especially to maintain in any longform fashion. So then#when it's like ''the answer to staying safe is to maintain longform social connections!! :3 just reach out!!'' then.. ermm... O_O#also I'm not even one of the cutesy shy emotional hermits that's nervous. I'm the Bad Stereotype emotionless robotic cold seeming#looms in the corner of the room type of thing so people have less pity on you in that way. -_- ANYWAY gghj#I need like.. a designated social representative or something.. When I did work in that bookshop forever ago they gave me a#person who basically was just with me to help communicate with others on my behalf and supervise me and stuff. I need that.. Some#more extraverted person I can latch onto and they can maintain the Social Support Network for me and I can just be their +1 to all#of the Social Things and community. I have helpful skills I can contribute to other people and stuff it's just like.. I cant socialize lol#I cook food or something for you.. then you keep me in contact with Community.. a deal. (but then what about when I'm too sick to#contribute? as is often the case. there's not much place for people like me in communities sometimes i fear.. sigh.) ***

Call me a boomer or whatever but I feel like fairy tales with the trope of "help elderly/disabled/homeless people because any of them might be a fairy in disguise who will bless you, but you cannot do it for the reward, it has to be out of genuine desire to do good or else the magic won't work" are very important in raising kids who are just starting to develop a sense of right and wrong and don't yet fully grasp that "you should help people because they need it"
#it's always baffled me to hear from people (mostly Americans) just how heartless people seem to be in regards to those mentioned above#when around here it seems to be almost ingrained that when you see a person struggling (especially if elderly or disabled)#you get off your ass and help#(yeah not everyone does it and I've seen a decline in the past ten years which genuinely makes me mad)#and we've talked about it with my boyfriend who's from the US#and I've mentioned how prevalent the trope above is. that the hero gets a blessing/magic/supernatural help only by helping others#and it's explicitly stated that it's ONLY if such act of help is genuine and not with the vision of a reward#and he said that he isn't aware of such culture in the US and it just got me thinking#just how much of an influence this sort of stuff has on a society#so a child's ''every struggling person i meet may be a secret test of character'' turns into#an adult's ''seeing a struggling person and coming to help is a second nature''#it's 2am and I'm just kinda rambling

*slight* tweaks have been done to Pietro's face.
[left: old right: new]
#literally just small tweaks - make the face a lil longer. cheeks a little hollow. nose a little longer. eyebrows more still.#cause i noticed my older/elderly pietro sims have these features#i was mostly thinking to myself that w/ the way i use aging/skin details now pietro would look different if i made him from scratch now

today i met my neighbours whom i've been very curious about. unfortunately i met them because our main fuse blew and we didn't know what to do or where it was and i was wearing a hawaiian shirt and booty shorts (i'd been messing around in the kitchen that's my cooking fit whatever) and my flatmate looked like she'd been chewed up by a dog (she'd been napping) and when we tried to communicate in italian the guy asked if we spoke english (WITH PERFECT ACCENTLESS ENGLISH. SIGH) and he was super helpful and nice but now i need to bake something and go over wearing normal clothes and thank them properly and introduce myself or else this interaction will haunt me forever
#i'm normal about seeking the approval of the elderly and this says nothing about me as a person#i kind of hate the idea of them thinking were horrible people because they mostly hear my roommate's friends being super loud on the balcony#or my other flatmate's loud music#or smell someone smoking#i'm nice!!! i want them to like me! which is very normal of course#veni veni#erasmus tag

have a bit of Lake™ from today's bike ride
#haven't done this tour since i was 12? 13?#it's 14km in total for the lake itself plus another 10 for the way towards and back#tourist information says it's the most difficult tour in the region#since it's infamous for the constant climbs#but other than that still quite nice#i remember the lake being more visible though#now it's mostly a forest path#in that very particular post-opencast mining reforestation forest way#pines for days#the lake is now far along the renaturation process that there's a small beach you can swim at!#that's neat to see#but it's very easy to miss#met an elderly couple halfway through the tour#and they were looking for the beach#but ended up on the opposite side of the lake#so i told them they had to go around and look for a specific spot#i do hope they found it because the roads around there can get very confusing
