obviously we all know and love the They Came Back Wrong trope, but has anybody in that situation considered killing the persons again and reanimating them for a second time? I feel like that would fix things

‘gay retelling of a classic!’ ‘feminist sapphic twist on this greek myth!’ why don’t you write a better book than that. i think we deserve better books than that

when i was in elementary school in the early aughts the boys in my class decided that they had to protect themselves against the girls so they made a "boys' team" and a "girls' team" and the girls' team was all the girls with names like kaylee and cassie who loved lip gloss and sparkly nail polish and playing house. however i was friends with these boys and so i got to be on the boys' team and wrassle with them at recess and go to sleepovers with them where we'd all sleep in big cuddle puddles and also practice kissing bc as the only girl i was the only one they were allowed to practice kissing with (it being the early aughts and us going to conservative christian school). in fifth grade all of a sudden things changed and the boys i'd been best friends with since age six turned weird and mean and hostile and i nearly got actually for real expelled from christian private school because i tackled and beat the absolute fucking piss out of one of them because he kept pinching/hurting me when i told him to stop and the teachers thought it was cute. until i was trying my hardest to bash his teeth in. then it was no longer cute or fun for them. then my friends in middle school were a group of weird outcast girls who are all now either she/they dykes or tradwives with no inbetween. unsure how to conclude this post except to say that probably all of this is unsurprising if you've followed me for a bit AND that if a kid is constantly trying to beat the absolute fucking piss out of their friends then it's PROBABLY BECAUSE THE ADULTS DIDN'T INTERVENE IN AN OBVIOUSLY BAD SITUATION BEFORE THAT POINT.

hm so I don’t know this lore but I can’t be bothered to look it up; I’ve seen suffix -ion used as ‘son of’ (uncertain if gender neutral?) and noticed telperion sort of means ‘son/child of silver’, possible laurelin means ‘daughter of gold’ where -in prefix is feminine? (In archaic Quenya mind)

long story short is it grammatically correct to call Galadriel finarfinin and can I do it anyway because it’s hilarious

Today I worked more on coding my text-based adventure game because that's what most people learning game development seem to start out with

And for two hours I was stuck trying to figure out how to make it so that if the player typed something wrong, it would print text that suggested what they typed wouldn't work, then allow them to type something valid which would continue the story where they left off.

Originally when I added the "else" section and tested it, the program would just print the text and end if I typed something invalid. I tried to make the code for the story's progression all one big method I could call back to once the player typed something invalid, which worked! Except I wanted it to print out different invalid text depending on where they were in the story.

Tried a billion confusing things on my own because I dont know enough programming vocabulary to search for the solution I was looking for, until I realized that the thing I was trying to do is covered in a C# tutorial I never finished 😭😭

like thinking abt it my favorite type of game protag for games where you can make your own guy is the one that already has some hooks built into the characterization... like either you have a backstory vaguely outlined (like kotor2 exile always blowing up malacor V, durge always being durge, bhaalspawn always coming from candlekeep and being bhaalspawn) or some recent event having a deeply personal effect on the pc (watcher getting their powers, courier 6 getting shot in the head, the pc accidentally fits the nerevarine prophecy, Areelu kidnaps the pc). Like having that little extra something elevates the story and allows for more coherence bc the writers have those hooks to draw together whatever the game is trying to say and what story it can tell. imo

FINALLY ! BEST NEWS EVER 😭

[selfinflictedgunshotwound]

having twin peaks thoughts & theories bc i just started watching the return (i know spoilers ofc) and i have literally nowhere else to put my thoughts so i'm just gonna dump them here.

obviously i don't every single thing about twin peaks was meant to just be like... One Thing and that's it. i think there's room for interpretation for a reason butttt the one thing i just keep going back to about the show is just that. like. it's about the corruption of innocence and the perversion of family. of cycles of violence and abuse. children being sexually taken advantage of by "trusted" adults. teenage prostitution rings. barely a single relationship in the town wherein people aren't cheating on someone/cheated in the past. bob being "the evil that men do" (tbf this is technically just albert's theory but i choose to believe it) and now this weird thing with judy/the experiment (are they the same thing? idk yet) being the thing that CREATED bob? there's this weird thing i get with the black lodge/waiting room like... good people can't survive there without disappearing completely (nonexistence) or being permanently changed (in the case of annie, ig)

and then ofc you have the tormented souls being trapped there (laura, maddy, caroline(tbh idk what was going on w her doppelganger being there?), leland(he was originally a victim too, i'm getting there)) because of the things that were done TO them. i was thinking like. in regards to the frogmoth that crawled into sarah's mouth (when she was a child) and everything that's going on w/ her in the return (watching insanely violent things on tv, "eating" men, etc.) ... compounded with leland's story about bob "I was just a boy. I saw him in my dreams. He said he - he wanted to play. He opened me and I invited him and he came inside me." ... mr. c's introduction song being a twisted version of "american woman" (i've heard this is also related to diane's doppelganger, as well. makes sense) w/ the stand-out lyrics (aka the backwards ones) being "all my headstrong women... don't let em put you in a corner. make em salute you like a flag on the fourth of july." and sarah palmer having a shortened and remixed version of "good man" blaring in her house that just repeats the lyrics "i'm a good man. i'm having fun." like. there's smth to this i'm not insane...

anyways to go even FURTHER... there being specific emphasis on being in the right time and the right place. opposites (giant and dwarf, young and old, black and white, etc.) and the planets jupiter and saturn.

the experiment violently killing that couple that was watching the glass box bc they were having sex? or because they were(n't) watching? or both? the experiment very obviously being the thing inside of sarah but it pulling off it's own face within sarah and revealing a smile that looks eerily similar to laura's (even if not exact... ppl are such pedants about things being exact in this show where literally everything is drenched in like 8 metaphors at any given time) AND the laura in the black lodge/waiting room removing her own face in the exact same way. it's weird that in this instance, laura's dialectical opposite or opposing force is her own mother who she claims she has so much in common with. but this goes even a step further because when the experiment spawned in the glass box, it has a gold orb (or smth like it) like the one laura's like... spirit? was born from? AND APPARENTLY there's a little clip of what sounds like sheryl lee's voice saying "gone" or "the one" or something like that while the experiment is flying towards them (not unlike an owl) to kill them... hm. not to mention the experiment has a proboscis-like knife that comes out of its mouth that it uses to kill the guy sexually harrassing sarah at the bar... and carrie page has a dead guy in her motel room that has a hole in his head... could obviously def just be a bullet-wound LMAO but idk let's have fun w it!

i do think there's a crazy connection between sarah, laura, and the experiment/judy/whatever. "the room seems different... and men are coming. something happened to me. i don't feel good..." obviously, i will be able to make more connections and add to this theory as i watch more but from what i've seen i think there's a huge connection to children and how easily it is for them to be taken advantage of (literally every member of the palmer family was taken advantage of as a child when an evil entity entered them. i mean. how more on the nose can you be!!) or for their innocence to get stolen (prostitution, drugs, murder, becoming child brides to abusive older men... the list goes on). and there's obvious themes of intense sexual violence and dreams and blahhhh. it's like 5:30am and i'm theorizing about a show that will never have an actual answer LMAO... to be fair though it's not ABOUT actually "solving" it for me. i think most media works well when you get what you want or need from it and just kind of make that The Point and, for me, twin peaks will always be about the tragedy of laura palmer before it's about anything else!

i really do like that theory that dale cooper is just like. an entity that laura dreamed up to save her originally but in the end, after she had finally escaped being laura palmer and that life and that house and her trauma, he ended up bringing her right back to it. it's like. how does that not make people insane?
