God hates me so I love to write and I can’t fucking do math thank you for making me completely unemployable I hate school so fucking much but imagine if I could just be a data analyst and make like 80k after a 4 year degree! Unfortunately that’s IMPOSSIBLE

The thing about riz gukgak canon aroace being real to me is that it’s such a Brian Murphy thing to do. He’s so good with casual queer rep in naddpod and never directly saying it, and it just being a part of the world. He never says “Elzor and Syb are Non-binary and use they/them/theirs pronouns” or “Jaina is a butch lesbian and I directly portrayed that with her being a dwarf with no beard” or “erlin is a young boy being pushed into a traditionally masculine role in a religion and the same time he breaks out of that is the same day he kissed a boy” he doesn’t directly say these things bc he simply doesn’t need to. All of this is so glaringly obvious and in the same vein so is aroace riz. Additionally, it’s entirely in character for riz “I’m allergic to self reflection” gukgak to not know those words and have that vocabulary and adventuring party wasn’t around yet so there wasn’t really and out of character space to talk about it. N E ways, the gist is that riz gukgak is aroace, not just to me bc he should be to you as well, and I think it’s important we all know that

It’s hot how effortlessly I gain now. Years of slowing my metabolism and conditioning myself with the right habits has paid off.

I couldn’t stop getting fatter if I tried…

Now whose going to tell 11 year old me who was a massive Narnia fanatic that I’d eventually end up years later spending like half an hour just now watching edits of the guy who once played Mr. Tumnus and who knows how many hours in total I have in the last week

Thinking back to when I was first diagnosed with scoliosis and how the pediatric orthopedist, when I mentioned that I was having near-constant back pain, looked at me and said something about how according to the textbooks the condition isn’t painful

misc thoughts on the retcons

I can’t tell if the pacing is bad or if that’s just me getting disoriented by the past several months telling and retelling the same story.

While the fight between Flash and Sonic ended up more like the webcomic story wise, I didn’t enjoy it the same. The webcomic had a tension to it. It felt distinctly lonely and melancholy. But reading the manga redraws now, I feel kind of similar to how I did with the psychic sisters arc where it seemed like a “fixed” version of the webcomic?

Like, the story is still the same but the character dynamics are altered in a way that doesn’t make sense. They all get along a bit too well. Which would be fine if the story or enough dialogue was adjusted that it made sense, but that’s a step they skipped over.

For the retconned chapters, the emotion ONE and Murata were trying to communicate was different from the webcomic, but ultimately more successful for its place in the context of the manga. Between Flash and Sonic there was still pain and words left unspoken, just in a way that felt fitting. VS now it’s like they’re trying to communicate the webcomic tension but without any of the hard hitting moments where it felt like time slowed down that made the webcomic successful.

Anyways i know the arc isn’t done yet. There’s still time for it to pick up. I’m just feeing irritated and really don’t want to end up feeling more disappointed than I would otherwise because I have to compare whats now canon now vs what was retconned. (considering I liked the retconned version and felt it was successful to begin with 😭)

Your “my god how out of touch am I” moment of the day is: I keep getting comments on this fic I’m writing that are like “worth waiting for the update”, “this was worth the wait” and I’m so confused because I have been posting chapters… every ten days at most? what wait, that’s a fast schedule, I thought! And the chapters are between 5k and 7k words each! Each! The fifth chapter is currently sitting pretty at 10 fucking k so I’ll probably have to split it in half…

But I’m dying over this I think it is wild lol. Do people not remember what it was like to have fics that updated every six months, if that, for nearly a decade? Is this something no one else remembers? Have we gotten so into instant gratification culture that waiting a week for 5 thousand words of fanfic is a long time?

This is all so wild to me so I guess I’ll go write another 5k about it lmfao

I would bet actual money that not a single teacher at Aguefort has an education degree. Hopclap probably has a psychology degree and that’s as close as he’s gotten

My ADHD riddled ass who hasn’t finished a real book since 5th grade somehow managed to sit down and read The Autobiography of Special Agent Dale Cooper: My Life In Tapes in its entirety yesterday and in my completion of it I’d like to share excerpts of the Sleep Experiment Cooper did on himself in College:

Watching A Crown of Candy has been heartbreaking and incredible but possibly my favorite moments are those where Brennan is explaining something very serious and then throws out that the Vegetanian’s have a legend of the Jolly Giant and then just moves on like it’s nothing. This campaign contains multitudes.
