my favourite writing device is having an un-Rei-liable narrator
#rei#volo#cheren#// tikposting#// character meta#the crowd booes me off the stage#forgive the pun XDDD his name is too easy to pun on#the way i write it it's not a conscious choice. it's just how the pov character (rei) experiences and contextualises the world#revealing backstory and personality and mindset through narration !!!!#not necessarily out of malice it's just. how he views things#interpreting new and foreign experiences through the lens of what came before...#conversations which read differently to different people.#in the context of rei that's stuff like unease around authority figures#always choosing his words carefully to project an image of competence (he has to be needed)#distrust and not taking things at face value but also paradoxically a fragile and nurtured sense of almost blind optimism#when it comes to friendships. like volo. (everyone turned on me when the sky turned red but it all resolved itself in the end didn't it?)#(what makes this different? / a lot of things. / i choose to believe)#volo [directly]: “i won't be stopped from my goal” rei thoughts: we can work with this!!!!#and everything with Arceus too and his divine blessings and a plan that will work out in the end#if Rei can just... figure out what part he's meant to play. interpreting events as a narrative hurtling towards some unknown conclusion#i am talking about rei here specifically but this writing device is so good in general#would be fun to try get inside volo's head. there's so much going on there i don't understand yet#quite fond of that one analysis post about how volo lacks emotional intelligence and sees relationships as transactions#not necessarily out of malice it's just how he views things. whether because of past experience or brain chemistry#also need to give a shout to cheren my guy who is an outsider pov who projects his own experiences onto new things so that he Understands#(an outsider to Hilbert and N's clash of truth and ideals. life changing experience and knowledge but felt just a little off to the left)#(the narrative repeated again with new heroes. all he can do is help them but it falls on their shoulders in the end)#(no wonder he tries to insert himself into Situations)#anyway tag ramble over feel free to also ramble to me about your takes XD#rei pokemon

Do we know the canon age of this beautiful lady? At least approximately? Asking for a friend
#jay rambles.txt#yes I'm looking at her and Nene with sparkles in my eyes#but idk how comfortable I am with it yet. haven't read the event ... didn't judge me...#I see the potential but if she's much older than Nene then I'll be sad... but I'll accept it....

Angelberga was a peculiarly prominent personality in manifold aspects of European politics [in the late 9th century. Born to the Supponid family of Italy, she married Emperor Louis II and had several opportunities to establish her position as an active and controversial player in the vicissitudes of her husband's reign]. She acted as Louis's regent, accompanied him on expansionary military campaigns in the south of the peninsula and represented him at [congresses, tribunals, and diplomatic negotiations]. Strikingly, she was also the beneficiary of a spectacular collection of charters. Almost one in seven of Louis II’s extant charters were issued in her favour. Angelberga’s conspicuous exploits in the field of charter acquisition did not diminish after the emperor’s death, and this helped her to maintain a position as a key power-broker in Italian politics, control of land [particularly monastic foundations] being a fundamental building-block of power in this period. In the interregnum following 875, during which Charles the Bald of West Francia and Karlmann of Bavaria fought to claim the succession to the heirless Louis, Angelberga herself conducted the negotiations and decided the loyalty of a major sector of the Lombard political community. She maintained this high profile until her death [having supported her son-in-law Boso's quest for power, endured a temporary exile, maintained the support of Pope John VIII, and founded the monastery of San Sisto in the city of Piacenza, where she probably ended her days sometime before 891].
-Simon MacLean, "Queenship, nunneries and royal widowhood in Carolingian Europe"
#historicwomendaily#angelberga#Louis II of Italy#Italian history#Carolingian period#9th century#my post#Angelberga is wildly fascinating to me#She's been described by numerous historians as 'the most openly powerful of the Carolingian royal wives' (Fiona M. MacFarlane)#'The first Carolingian royal woman to take a fully public role in government' (Phyllis G. Jestice) etc#In many ways this is dependent on the Carolingian paradigm of royalty which differed from its Merovingian predecessors#and which saw queens conducting their activities on a primarily domestic/spatial level#with significantly reduced indicators of autonomy and oddly obscured importance/influence in contemporary sources#(That didn't necessarily mean a reduction in importance - just a shift in what that importance actually meant and should contribute to)#In that framework Angelberga's wide-ranging public activities do seem to have been the 'exception'#It's all the more notable considering the fact that she never had a son#Which is yet another thing I find very interesting with her - how her lack of a son affected various spheres and events of her life#Predictably contemporaries and chronicles viewed her as a controversial figure who was arrogant and insolent and sexually transgressive#(shocker)#also her name has many spelling variants in sources and history books - I'm using Angelberga to make it consistent#and because it was how La Rocca (the first historian whose work of her I read) referred to her

I have finally emptied the blue bench of all the library books I need to hand back, even though they were terribly photogenic in there, and instead have filled it with all the old children's books I've been keeping around for like fifteen years or more, even though the chances of me ever having children or even passing them on to nieces/nephews/cousins etc is vanishingly small. These are less photogenic but at least it's one way to start clearing the living room of boxes.
Currently strategising how to fit them all in but also wow this is a list of Problematic Children's Authors TM
#I mean#They're all dead and they were probably considered Problematic long before I read them as a kid and I turned out sort of ok-ish#But honestly not a great look and very much proponents of a particular early to mid twentieth century upper class moral system#On the other hand#I do fully believe that the PTSD-addled disaster teenager in a Sopwith Camel that is James Bigglesworth is appropriate reading for kids#The shelf goes 'Snotty boarding school stories; saccharine animal stories; now let's introduce the children to the concept of WW1#Shellshock and alcoholism time for the little ones; on the other hand the racist elements in quite a few of them are going to need reviewin#Not sure the 1970s approach- which was essentially to revere the same authors but delete the racist and sexist language- actually worked#Because it took out the worst words but it didn't actually do anything about the fundamental attitudes of the books#Maybe we should have asked WHY we revere a certain type of children's literature from a certain (colonial; stiff upper-lip; heroic) era#Rather than simply deleting a word here and there and repackaging them as essentially ok for the next generation#Eh#As I say I turned out fine and I think if handled properly it can teach children how to read critically#But if in some miraculous turn of events there ever Real Children in this house that shelf is going to need diversifying#I just can't seem to bring myself to throw them out yet; I know I'm not likely to ever have children so not sure why I keep them really#But I used to think I'd have them for my own kids and that's a hard idea to let go of#And not something I'm willing to unpack right now#On the other hand 'The Adventures of Robin Hood' has to stay even though the spine is falling off#It has been a favourite of two generations because we all love Robin Hood and also Marion is allowed to be kick-ass for thirty seconds#And that tiny scene got me through half my childhood#Earth and stone

what the fuck happened in shining nikki while i was gone. i stopped playing in late 2022 but even then i stopped paying attention at around the start of volume 2. so i've been trying to catch up a bit and every single thing i learn just makes me have to set my phone aside and just. think. like seriously what the fuck
#i haven't even learned that much yet#just please tell me how much lore there is outside of the main story#there was a feature where you could read old event stories right? am i making that up#i don't even know anymore#there's also infinity nikki getting new info so i'm assuming it's finally coming out this year#can't wait to kill my phone with it#i still have 114gb left i just get stressed when i see the space become less#cause i play genshin hsr pjsk sn and ln on this phone#want to download dutp again but i fear for what will happen to this phone#it's still fairly new i need to keep it safe for as long as possible#i'm assuming infinity nikki will be around 8gb on release maybe?#cause hsr was 8gb but the game will be open world so maybe around the size of genshin on release?#how much was genshin on release i didn't play at the time#my phone needs to survive at least a couple more years#my posts#shining nikki

Got the actual audiobook for Dazai's Entrance Exam (rather than just getting the ebook and using text-to-speech like usual) because I saw it was narrated by Patrick Seitz, Kunikida's english VA, and that just seemed too good not to check out lol
#I don't know much about the plot aside from obviously Dazai joining the agency#but I know him and Kunikida have to work together a lot in it#AND I didn't realize it was from Kunikida's 1st person pov until I started listening to it earlier#so that makes it even better#Hearing him read Dazai's lines in a Dazai voice is so funny#I'm just imagining this is Kunikida reporting the events and he's doing a Dazai impression for accuracy's sake#He also narrates the Dark Era audiobook that's apparently already out#So i assume he'll narrate all/most of them which would be neat#I've read Dark Era so I don't plan to buy that one but like for the books i haven't read yet whenever they come out#lee speaks#bungo stray dogs

i'm not tired, i'm exhausted
#my head is full of sooo many thoughts and i'm feeling way too many emotions right now#i struggled with my thesis today again after a few months break#yesterday a guy i'm kind of getting to know asked me a question that hit home when we were talking about the effects of past events#“'last time when cuddling and i gave you a kiss you tensed up completely for a sec. was that you being shy or being uncomfortable. '#i didn't even realise it and now i'm feeling extremely anxious about my subconscious acting out when i am in fact feeling comfortable#background: he knows my history of unpleasant events concerning intimacy/sex and he's very mindful about it yet challenges me in a good way#but now i am a mixture of extreme exhaustion experiencing high levels of fondness and yet feeling extremely agitated#and having constant minor flashbacks and i really don't know what to do or how to merely exist in this moment now#not going to bother anyone with this and my thoughts as they are having a good time and that also goes for the pretty nice guy i mentioned#so i'm on my own in my own company#maybe some music crying and ice cream straight from the tub would help haha#thank you for taking your time to read this mess love you and have a nice morning day or night#literally no one cares emma

knowing that immiscible discord is coming to ensekai tomorrow is such a weird feeling to me cause like,,,, its really been a year since i started playing this game,,,, i remember seeing the mafumom sprite leaks and everyone being so excited for niigo kaito finally that it made me excited despite the fact i had like 4 days worth of game knowledge at the time
#project sekai#pjsk#i didn't really think id still be playing or at the least interested in the game still a year later#i thought i would have fallen out of it by like last November#yet here we are#my teeth are sunk into concrete as i save and wait for niigo WL#also shout out to immiscible discord for being the most stressful event ive ever read#shit was SO good it made me want to pass out from stress

I was a very sheltered kid and didn't get to consume fandom content until a few years ago, and most of the fandoms I'm in have been over for years before I watched the content. It's really weird to experience a show in real time?? Like usually I binge something and then go and obsess over fandom content for the next month (or several), but now I have to wait for said fandom content to be made?? I wanna read fanfic about the tbb finale but I also need to give creators time to write it lol 😅
I'm just so not used to being in fandoms that are still updating/just ended that it feels weird to me ig
#I'm really thankful that the need to read tbb fics hasn't arisen yet#bc idk what I'd find and I don't wanna be sad about a lack of stuff I want to read#like I know there's a lot of good stuff out there!#but usually I like multichapter stuff and I want fics that include the finale#so I gotta wait#But yeah I just never got to grow up in fandoms and certainly didn't have access to the internet lol#I discovered youtube in literal 6th grade sooo#No one told me!!#And the only channel I had access to was pbs#Which is nice but I didn't get to watch everyone's favorite childhood shows#And I feel like I missed out#But it's ok! I'm getting into fandoms now!!#I've been binging 2012 tmnt#And it's nice to watch something a lot of my friends grew up on#I will snatch back childhood experiences with tooth and claw if I have to#This was a longer rant than I was expecting to write in the tags 😅#anyways#tbb#the bad batch#fics#idk#Anyways if anyone has fic recs for the tech is Cx-2 thing that involve the events of the finale lmk#i want them

First gourd (and radish) I carved in my life 31 October 2019
#the drawing I class i was in in undergrad had a pumpkin carving day that year#i decided to be rebellious and buy a pumpkin to carve for the first time but when i went to the store there were no more pumpkins :')#so i got a gourd and a little skeleton for inside caude i wanted a scene#it was the first time i had carved anything for Halloween ever and i remember feeling so sinful at the time#there was this one person Maddie who was also giving tarot card readings and they were one of my major events(?) to realize i was gay#i didnt get a reading from them cause i was scared that was going too far and I would be too far gone messing with the 'occult'#and they made me nervous but i wanted more and couldnt figure out why (i chalked it up to them being 'cool' and wanting to be their friend)#anyways maddie gave me the radish cause they also didnt bring a pumpkin and had two radishes (cause they were buy 1 get 1) from Winn Dixie#i still think about maddie now and we talk sporadically i told them if they're ever in Chicago to come and visit me but they live in Canada#their art inspires me and i believe they could design a fantasy game or novel because of their work (i own a weird little dog of theirs)#i never mentioned anything to them at the time about being infatuated with them in class and i doubt i would now bc our life goals dont mesh#but i consider them to play a important role in my life and i appreciated the radish and wish i got the readings done#its wild how much growth can happen in just a few years -- i bought a mini pumpkin in September because i wanted to celebrate early#back then when i got home the gourd and radish was forcibly thrown away (and i didn't dare tell of my encounters in class with the lesbian!)#(i hold that memory in my heart & think of it fondly cause i hadnt realized yet i have much compassion for younger me who was never sinful)#now in grad school there is a new Maddie 🍈 who told me she didnt know why she keeps looking at my face in class and i think i know why#but she has yet to get there <3

Me while rereading: You should kill him
Also:
They marriages hehe ♥
#Come closer Morinaga I hold no ill will towards you lol#It's playful ribbing :) Mostly :) Lol ♪#So I may or may not have come into the ownership of the entire currently-released collection of KoiBo manga in Japanese lol#It's so nice to own ahhhh <3 <3 It's so strange to finally hold it!#Also can we talk about manga prices in Japanese vs English? I get the whole translation and publishers thing but like#581円 for one volume? That's like four dollars USD! We average $10 here! How'd that happen#I mean I still didn't pay even that much for them since they were secondhand hehe ♥#But reading them physically is such a weird experience now haha - I've spent years reading them only digitally!#Previously there was like this continuous flow from one volume into the next - no physical delineation! No hard stops!#So now re-learning where the story beats are and how that affects the timbre of storytelling - it's interesting :0#Seeing that it took three volumes - or two depending on how you count it lol - it took til the third volume anyhow#For them to start to get on the same page and actually communicate and then all the middle-amble (preamble in the middle lol)#It's interesting! It's not quite like reading it blind again - especially since I can't actually read the kanji yet lol#But it does change a bit of the feel :) I'm excited to start to be able to put events to volumes rather than chapters! :D#The little bits of English that dot around are always very charming of course haha ♪#Since they got married in the US they put English on their wedding card! That's so cute!#That is an actual picture I took while reading haha ♪#That's another thing - reading in person really lets me see the toning as intended and ahhhh it's so pretty <3#The details really pop! That aspect is like reading blind again hehe#Happy :D#Koisuru Boukun

Hell yeah!! Merklins is BACK from SUPER REAL WORLD ACTIVITIES just in time to witness. THE GRAND FINALE OF THE THING EVER. I won't be reblogging stuff yet because it JUST finished but!! Giggling and grinning at the people who did liveblog it with all of their reactions
#I HAVE BEEN BUSY...#It actually worked out perfectly that I was able to get online THE VERY MOMENT THAT THE LAST MESSAGE WAS POSTED!#All according to plan.... I'm kidding there was no plan. just a lot of hope that I didn't log on part way through the session#because there was NO WAY I was going to be back from events before it started#BUT I'M HERE NOW!! and. AND. still totally glammed up from prior events#prior events did not demand that I be glammed up nor did the finale AND YET HERE I AM LOOKING SO COOL. Exactly what this party needed#pspsps I know somebody has to be reading these tags. thoughts at me now about the thing then are VERY WELCOME#the thing then being the finale you were liveblogging
