'thats not his role in the story!' hm i wonder what the point of it is then. hm i wonder what the dead pixel scene means. hm i wonder what wrong organ are trying to say with the context of 'awesome male friendship' and 'corporate hell where the only woman onboard is constantly under ridicule, abused or forcibly forgotten yet is the catalyst' if not this. hm i wonder how curly's physical agony being a direct parallel to anya's mental agony, stripped of voice, agency, just like her, and being forced to watch what happens while not doing jack shit, just like he used to, plays a part in this. i wonder what the moral of him being the final girl says about living with the consequences of your inaction, because of sentimentality, because of status, career and social. hm i wonder whatever the fuck this game was trying to say. hm i wonder what else is on this person's blog Oh Lord there's yaoi penice.
#mouthwashing#mouthwashing spoilers#sa mention#dont go after this person but i hooooope they rethink. their view of the story.#but god im gonna squeeze lemons in my eyes soon#taking this game away from yall until you unlearn misogyny#ooooh curlys just sooo sweet poor thaaang oh my oh my youre looking sooo far into thissss haaahaaa#its all just a misunderstanding!!!! anya didnt speak clearly enough!!!! noooo its not on my beautiful blue eyed rascal hahaaa#ok look curlys an insane character i love analyzing him and i VERY MUCH dont want people to think im like villanizing the guy#the entire point is that otherwise pretty chill people can fuck up OF THEIR OWN FAULT AND BIAS and then learn. painfully. what not to do.#and by chill i also dont mean holy water pure ok. distinctions.#and id really hate people taking either side of the argument on curlys morality. esp considering his appearance (for both.)#just don't. fucking make baby ass black and white arguments#this game should be behind a childproof lock in the shape of a reading comprehension test abt crime and punishment#im super supportive of people trying to think outside the norm about art like mouthwashing and explaining their own musings#and talking with others and trying to understand how to argument their thoughts which is what the op of the post this was left on was doing#being genuinely curious and open#but brother i draw the line at so merrily denying the main fucking point of the character in the catalyst event#GOOD GOD make this game only accessible to 35+ yo's with no internet access#the contents of their blog were just the cherry on top#unblocking them in hopes they see this ig

our cat broke his hip on christmas
hi, your local guy-with-a-blog is here to dox himself so his cat can walk again!
i made posts earlier as this was happening, but now that i've heard back from enough vets to get an idea of how steep this is going to be, i can't not ask for help.
its cheesy to say, but my cats are my everything. mordred, especially, spends his days basically glued to my side. he's my little shadow, and i don't know where i'd be without him.
when he woke me up to feed him at 6am on christmas morning, he was completely fine. i went back to sleep after, and when i woke up for real at 8, he was limp on the ground. when we went to move him, he howled and thrashed like we were torturing him. he ran, and we saw he wasn't using his right back leg.
many tears and an anxiety riddled 4 hour wait for our emergency vet appointment later, we were told he had a right capital physeal fracture, which basically means he snapped the ball bit of the ball joint in his hip. the vet said the best option for him is a femoral head and neck ostectomy (FHO), which'll take the broke bit of his bone out and the scar tissue will sort of just grow in the right way to replace his missing joint (cats are so weird)
its the cheapest option, and its the one with the best success rate, which is super lucky. unfortunately, its still expensive as fuck.
weve been quoted anywhere between 3.5k and 8k by vets i've contacted so far, and most need at least half as a downpayment before they'll operate. it'd take us years to cover the full cost by ourselves. so we've got to break out the big guns - a full gofundme, which will be shared with basically everyone we know, and hopefully far past that as well. carecredit can only cover so much for us, and our immediate family can't afford to lend us much. the internet is our only hope for meeting the full cost and getting mordred better
mordred's the light of my life and i can't stand to see him in pain like this. anything helps. if youre not in a financial state where you can donate, spreading the word is just as important and just as deeply appreciated.
thank you so much for getting this far.
our gofundme is here
#ive never really been so desperate for an assistance post to take off before i dont know what to tag this as#but its breaking my heart to look at him and know im so far from being able to fix him#rbs appreciated#anything appreciated even just kind words to make me feel a little less helpless#i hate living in a HCOL area i keep seeing vets in the south wholl do it for under 2k and it makes me want to cry#if i didnt think the trip would be immensely painful for him id just do it like that

i would like to say my ideal PJO adaptation (if i was being physically forced against my will to have to pick a live action adaptation over an animated one for some reason) would be a combo like writing of the musical + casting of the show + visuals of the movies
BUT the show actually does have the playwright for the musical as one of the major writers for like three episodes and that did nothing for it. so...
#pjo#riordanverse#pjo tv crit#i do love the casting for the musical lots and lots though#it was really good#i do also have some nitpicks for show casting but they're largely inconsequential#like majority i very much enjoy and think are cast well#i only have one i'd say im actually disappointed with and that's Poseidon. idk he just feels. bland??? does that make sense?#like idk maybe it's the costuming but im not getting Sea God *or* Fishing Dad from him#like i think i kinda see what they were going for and i saw some gifs of him in another show where he plays a pirate and its like#okay. *little* bit better. but idk im just not getting Poseidon from it#in general most of the immortals in the show dont feel very Immortal(tm) but thats definitely mostly just the writing/show itself#not any reflection of the casting#my only other two are i would have liked plus sized Clarisse. i am VERY sad we didnt get that#Dior is a VERY good Clarisse though so i'm not too upset about it. i like her Clarisse energy. the yelling is fantastic.#my most controversial pjo tv take is im still meh on Walker. like he's fine. but like he's kind of Just Fine to me so far#its probably mostly the writing being bad but he hasnt grown on me as Percy yet. i can tell he has the energy though in interviews n stuff#and the main trio dynamic in interviews and stuff is *very* good. i just wish the show writing was better#because the casting IS very good but they have so little to work with. you can really tell theyre trying their best#i like to joke the show would be better if they just set the cast loose in the woods doing in-character improv#like its clear basically all of them know their characters SUPER well. id watch 8 episodes of in the woods pjo cosplay improv.

new possible explanation for why my japanese curry is gloopy in australia but not in sweden: the potatoes i use here may be more starchy
#i tried putting more water and it still glooped up#and i made it EXACTLY THE SAME over there so i really didnt think it was the water 😭😭😭#but this (suggested by my ma) makes the most sense so far....#id thought it was the oil initially cos that was the biggest conscious difference#but i tried with different types of oil and it still glooped up...#i think she was onto something with the potatoes

anyways. my very first attempt at malenia
#elden ring#my post#this starts late (?) bc i didnt want to get the cutscene in the clip but fumbled to start the recording bc she does kinda rush you#and i was not at all prepared#anyways im genuinely tempted to just write a long post dumping my thoughts on malenia and her fight and how im puzzling through it#ive reached peak intrinsic motivation elden ring#the only reason why i probably should wait to make the post is bc ive only gotten as far as first phase half health#i have another recording thats abt a minute and a half long attempt and i gave it a few tries today#its worth mentioning that the night before i decided to finally start fighting malenia i told my friend (who managed to beat her) that bc#a lot of the last few endgame bosses didnt take me too long to beat i was worried that malenia wouldnt take me very long#and he just told me she would throw me into a meat grinder. and i lasted 12 seconds against her after that intro cutscene#anyways the fact that she's a very straightforward and easy to see boss makes it very easy to break her down and figure out how she#works n why she's hard and figure out a plan and everything i really like it. no particle effects just some sparks and sword trail lines#i keep getting caught by her flurry attack n today my plan (while talking to my friend) was to figure out why i kept getting caught by#it despite it being very obviously telegraphed n then putting together why i struggle with it. its REALLY fun to think technically abt her#anyways. fun part abt me getting killed by the grab + impale is that i honestly wasnt sure if that was actually implemented in the game#bc id never seen it in gameplay and. here we go. ten seconds in there it is

It gets better
#was looking at old photos and put these side by side. wow#in the first pic i was miserable malnourished and so depressed i didnt think id make it to 2016#the second pic was a few months ago in too lazy to take w newer one today lol#im still depressed but not like i was. ive come so far and its so hard to see it from day to day sometimes#i never thought id live long enough to go on hrt. top surgery felt completely impossible#but i got to live#i got to transition#i wish i could go back and show that scared kid how far we've come#idk these pics just had me feeling really sappy#maybe one day ill make a more intentional transition timeline post#but these photos really show a lot#transgender love transgender peace transgender joy#it gets better i promise#sounds fake and shallow but it's so fucking true

bro i feel so bad for my classmates in my chinese class.... the difficulty has ramped up and boy are some of them struggling. I'm at a slight advantage since i had taken a slight bit of chinese before (slight, since covid interrupted it :/ ) and have a family member who can speak the language, but even i'm starting to be more unsure and hesitant in what i say. i have a feeling tho that our already small class is gonna get smaller... we havent hit the deadline for dropping classes yet.. so we might lose a few people :(
#josh talks#i feel bad for them since i definitely know the feeling....#and anytime someone struggles when called on i cant help but think about me being in their shoes#and how bad id feel and how my anxiety would make it so much worse#i almost want to offer help to some of them but idk how and i dont want to come across as a know it all..#plus again im not perfect at it either#we've past the point of stuff i knew from taking chinese before#in a happier note tho i think im finally making friends in this class!!#i had to ask these 2 guys who sit near me if i could join their group for a presentation we have to do#and they sounded happy to let me join and didnt hesitate in saying yes!#but yeah anyway if u didn't know i take chinese then now you know more Josh Lore#im still veerrryyy beginner#but if anyone who follows me speaks mandarin..... maybe someday later we could talk a bit..?#it really help to practice more with other speakers#谢谢! Thanks for reading this far if ur reading this#i know i tend to ramble a lot lmao

Delighted to announce that my story has officially reached novella length! I truly didn't think it would get this far, and didn't think I would be able to stick with it to get it this long. According to Wikipedia, a novella is 17,500-40,000 words, and I'm currently at 17,714. And I'm going to keep writing for awhile tonight. I'm just super proud of this
#the goal was always for it to be a novella so i looked up how long a novella is#i didnt think id make it. i didnt think id get half as far as i have#but i might actually finish this#to be clear. its just a first draft. its rough and i need to polish it#and bring in more detail#work on the intricacies of the magic#change some names. i dont like my main character's name but i didnt want that to hold me up so i gave her a placeholder#and there are three other prominent characters. i just named them on the spot#for some reason it ended up being the name of my old roommate's gf. the name of my gf. and the name of a friend's crush#so i need to change that up. but mostly i didnt want to get hung up on names. i can change them later#really need to change the mc's name though. i dont like it and it doesnt fit her#and thats not even a main priority considering the magic system and the notes that are just (speaks some language. maybe latin)#or (ritual happens)#whoch is fine for a first draft. which im fairly close to being done with actually#i got the idea from the ttrpg Unknown Armies. specifically the campaign im in#as well as babylove and honeybloods by i.s. belle#and honeybloods is based off of Jennifer's Body so we're all just taking inspiration from others and making it our own#anyway im done yapping for now. gonna go see about performing another ritual that will just be written as (exorcism happens)

Listening to coinstar by the growlers and thinking about mel so hard I get nauseous
Ridiculous stream of conscious in the tags apologies but not really
#it speaks#white woman moment#its really funny bc like. its very much a her to jfk song#(everyones favorite problematic short king)#but she looks at him with uhhh#like heres this kid(hes 28) standing on the precipice o what she had been all those years ago#but he KNOWS it she didnt know she thought she had mold poisoning from her shitty apartment until she died#and she is projecting so much onto him. which is part of why she doesn't respect him at all#'im a sucker just like you'#its also funny bc like. it is Too Late for Phoenix.also its scary that theyre hungry bc as far as she knows death avatars arent supposed 2 b#but also theyre the first one shes met. and Phoenix is kind of just scary in general.#but being around those two is like. almost flashbacky(jfk also reminds her alot of her ex aroun that age tho audreys dad was Worse)#(she never met him but heard enough stories about the guy and i mean. he fed her to the hunt on purpose.#i dont think jorges dad wanted what was going to happen to happen)#part of why she texted her so fast tbh. not that they hadnt talked at all since the divorce.#i thinj they talked. not alot bc mel WAS in europe and international data rates pre smartphone age oof ouch#and also like. they did irrevocably harm eachother physically and mentally but they do both careeeeee#tho. i do not think melissa wouldve ever dropped everything to go help audrey like audrey would and did for her.#(girl who runs away from her problems x girl who is a dog)#auuughhhhhh#she really is my chew toy.#i also think alot about her sky mafia years but those r fun and sexy little secrets for me#as much as i love Basil's motw campaign i do with it was easier to unentangle her from tma lore.#bc like. normal vampire works well but it loses so much of the flavor. various sea beasts keep the flavor but loose the morality.#for pathfinder if i were to redo her id go with storm oracle and then spec into kineticist. which does work Ok I Guess.#but like. even that its still not what i want#one scene that probably would've never happened in game but i thought ahout if we ever went back to the item storage or maybe a wierd thrift#shop or something was to like. have her come across a violin and pick it up and make it scream horribly. like. really concentrate on making#it make the worst noise imaginable. shes trying to reach that wonderful horrible music avatars mention alot in the earlier seasons#and then realizes everyone else Hates That So Much and jokingly play one of the devil's riffs from tdwdg. tbh i should finally draw that

that pokemon rejuvenation personality quiz really is accurate, got npcs using my they/them pronouns even tho i chose the boy option
#limon talks#nah im not saying im being misgendered#im assuming either its a bug or just written that way as a catch all#so far first impressions about 10 minutes in: funnily edgy#ik ppl want more serious plots but seeing characters threaten lives with pokemon kinda veers into dorkly territory. sorry.#also the prologue with the zorua and the pangoro just kinda screams 'cry over how angsty and tragic this is'#i guess the context of it being a bedtime story creates some dissonance#like bedtime stories are written as simple morals to read to children#didnt really get a moral out of it beyond maybe 'don't play *mean* pranks on your friends'#and ostensibly the point is to draw a clear parallel between maria and her family and pangoro and zorua#and not to make sense as a bedtime story first#but idk maybe the story could've been introduced in a different manner then#like at her school or smth#and then she comes home and gets sacrificed#dunno how id go about making pokemon convincingly intimidating#inherent limitation of the format i guess#then again gothitelle is not a strong start in terms of scary pokemon#its a little too goofy looking#maybe an alakazam? not very original but i think its a little less goofy

I can't stop thinking about Dune....
#dune part 2 my movie of the year already ????#i saw anatomy of a fall this yr as well#and i really really liked it and i feel really emotionally connected#but every year i feel like i have a movie where its like:#i need to watch this again or im going to die#they really stick in my brain and i feel an intense longing for it#ig a factor of it is bcs i didnt get to go to the theater during the pandemic obv#so ever since then i really value it a lot#like yeah i still feel attached to movies that arent currently in theaters#but theres just something about how limited it is yknow? like i can only go out to see this. i have to make that commitment#i dont think theaters were really open until the end of 2021 right???? cant remember well#but id say my movie of every year that i feel really obsessive w would be(so far):#2020: 1917. 2022: the batman. 2023: Oppenheimer. 2024: Dune Part Two.#??????? maybe??????? i dont like to be so hasty bcs its literally only march#but man i feel the longing for it 🥺#I WANNA SEE IT AGAIN 😭😭 SO BADDDDDDD#imax this time pls i beg#lmao my friend got obsessed to the same level as me and is starting to read the books#i might but god my brain is so bad for it#well anyways. i feel obsessive#idk i have like several tiers for movies#theres a difference btwn movie i really loved vs movie that has been injected into my bloodstream#its not even like its bcs i joined the fandom or anything. like i dont think i rly have too much interest in the fandom#i just feel this bone deep passionate and need for it. sorry i literally sound insane rn 😭😭#well anyways. need to watch dune 2 again#trying to convince my dad into it but hes so annoying abt these things#but i started rewatching part 1 with him and aaaaahh so much stuff is so much clearer after watching pt 2#I MISS STILGAR I WANNA SEE HIM AGAIN OKAY#catie.rambling.txt

hc that the reason ford is so terrible with earth computers despite almost certainly having encountered more recent technology + technology based on current era technology while in the multiverse is that he's gotten way too familiar with alien computers and keeps trying to make normal computers work that way
#☢️.txt#ik canon is likely that he is just Bad at comp sci since he cant use fiddlefords laptop#but like. hes presumably a high energy physicist in the 70s#he likely wouldve encountered C by that point!#SQL came out in 78! and as far as we know he was reading journals even in gravity falls#hell even a lot of his pre-fiddleford tech seems to have relied on some form of computing#my personal hc is somewhere between 'ford is doing learned incompetence on everyone bc he thinks the idea of pcs is Silly and Pointless'#and 'ford was running everything entirely by hand until fiddleford showed up and forced him to use computers because no stanford you cannot#do this by hand actually. please for the love of something just use a calculator'#but i DO think the core issue is that ford is really bad at logic (the math subfield) and thats some of the basis of his animosity#hes really good at the type of math needed in physics and hes even pretty decent at working in different bases#but he struggles with stuff like logic gates bc he. does not think like most people. smth smth ford isnt just an anomaly due to his hands#his thought processes are different enough from other people that he struggles to make sense of coding languages#i think he also (and id argue this canon) makes massive leaps in logic that are hard to translate into code#if youre always making massive connections between things and seeing patterns but you dont always realize other people didnt pick up on the#then its really hard to write code for it bc you have to tell the computer Absolutely Everything#and ford isnt exactly known for his documentation lmao#ford pines

man i want to get into tabletop gaming soo bad like it seems like such a fun thing . but thats expert level socialization and i got exited about making 3 minutes of small talk last wednesday
#were far from making tabletop friends . i think#i dont even know where tabletop people go#ok but the small talk i made was soooo successful like book style small talk#i complimented her on the scarf she thanked me asked my name i asked hers ... and then small talk while we walked thru the building#where i have my dance classes#crazy. to me. to walk up to a stranger and make conversation#and i didnt really make a conversation she did. i just said hey awesome scarf#if someone said that to me id say thank you and just stood there in silence..#ill remember that its very good small talk opportunity
