fun fact time guys I'm a Linguistics major (language and linguistics bachelors of science if we wanna get specific), a major where we get to look at a dissection or midsagittal MRI scan and determine what sound the person was producing and ponder over whats really different between babies acquiring language and language models doing the same (hint: a main one is that if you feed a database of language to a brand spanking new toddler and freshly popped out language model, the baby can produce some sentences that are syntactically correct and some that aren't, but the language model can only produce syntactically correct sentences and if it tries to create gibberish it just creates fake words but uses them in the correct context within the syntax tree)
and while i'm in this major because i genuinely enjoy it, the REAL answer as to how i got here in the first place is much better
short answer: autism
long answer: when i was 16 or so i did a cosplay of the winter soldier from marvel, and while i was working on this cosplay i wanted to make the notebook with his trigger words in it, which are written in russian. I could've just looked them up online and copied them in writing but i thought it would also be cool if i could sat stuff like здравствустие to people while at the convention id be wearing this to, so i took to duolingo, intending to only learn enough Russian to be able to say hi to people and write (and maybe read if i was being ambitious) the trigger words in the journal. So that I did, but as the cosplay came and went i did not stop learning Russian and this escalated to me buying a Russian textbook and studying Russian obsessively in my free time to the point that i actually surpassed the required knowledge for Russian 1 and placed into Russian 2 when i started university, and i enjoyed it so much that i decided to become a Russian major. This eventually changed to a Linguistics major as I enjoyed the scientific study of the phenomenon of human language even more but I'm still taking Russian as my required language of focus.
this is all a thinly veiled excuse to dredge back up a photo of Крокодил Гена next to Shoestring (i own Крокодил Гена because i watched the cartoon Чебурашка to learn Russian when i was starting out and got a plushie from it for my birthday one year)
anywho here they are
Additional fun fact I was originally going to be a theater costume design major but then the linguistics thing happened.
#hey guys i lied this was a class assignment where we had to upload a post about ourselves to a publicly available platform#i assume to see if we had enough computer competency to post on the internet successfully#so with all that said hi Lucas#furby#furbies#russian#linguistics

Sick of "Robin wouldn't date her best friend's ex". Get ready for "haha Steve i'm fucking your ex"
#robin would actually think it's so funny that she got back at steve after he (unknowingly) ''stole'' tammy from her for years#it's something that only makes sense in her head#ronance#tbh i don't think Robin would even register it as a problem#i imagine her talking about it with Dustin and Lucas (they're all she could find)#and they're like !! no! your friend's ex is off limits!! you can't do that!#and robin is like ?? why not??#''dude think about steve!''#''what about steve?''#''he's your friend!''#''he said it didn't bother him''#''yeah duh he can't say otherwise#that will make him look like the bad guy''#''why would he say he has no problem with it if he did? i can't read his mind you know''#''dude it's obvious''#''i still don't understand what the problem is''#she wonders how come she ended up taking advice from 15yo boys anyway

I know I've been on about this for a while now and I'm being a hater but you're telling me SydCarmy was "always meant to be platonic" even though there are two seasons of writing making use of tried-and-true explicitly romantic tropes, themes and writing signals, and SydLuca is going to be romantic because...he was nice to her on screen for a few minutes?
I don't even care if people ship SydLuca, or if they just prefer it, but you can't honestly tell me that you believe Carmy was always meant to be a friend but Luca is an obvious love interest.
Just because Syd and Carmy haven't kissed or confessed their love to each other doesn't mean that isn't very obviously the direction this show is going. The Bear has already shown you who is endgame. It has shown you every episode of the show so far.
Honestly I really don't think The Bear fanbase understands this show or cares about these characters or the story being told here, which is unfortunate because this show is shockingly well-written in comparison to most shows right now, and we should be so grateful for it but all we're doing is complaining that the writers led us on by not making a ship canon fast enough. It's just. Sad.
#The Bear#SydCarmy#I was like a casual fan of this show two days ago#and now seeing how little respect this show gets from it's fanbase I'm losing my mind#I mean I shipped SydCarmy before anyway but now it means so much to me#it means so much to see such a realistic and purposefully well paced romance take place#so many shows portray romantic relationships and their beginnings in ways that just don't really happen in real life#and this show very purposefully said no. These are characters who are strangers. who are working together. Who are in a tense environment#and each of them has problems - one of them the type of problems that makes developing new relationships pretty difficult#these two would not get together right away. It would take a long time. And there would be ups and downs.#And even when that's the case. Even if when it takes a long time and doesn't go smoothly and is hard -#it can still be beautiful. It can still be romantic. It can still happen and here's how#and I'm just so inspired genuinely. It is so difficult to write romance without being cliche and so difficult to write it in a way that#could actually happen in real life and I really do hope I can write something half as good some day#and then to know so many people have no appreciation for it at all#because they prefer the shows that have characters make eye contact a few times and then confess their love for each other like#it's just fucking sad. So sad that so few people have any appreciation for good writing especially the difficult of romance writing#like I really just don't even know what to tell you. In real life these two would not have confessed to each other yet. They would not have#kissed yet. They would not have even realized they have feelings for each other yet because those feelings would still be developing#and I also want to point out that given the disparity in power between Syd and Carmy in season 1 it wouldn't have been healthy for them to#get together much sooner. He was her boss. He was also her idol. Before they can even get together that needs to be balanced out.#And then on top of that don't you see the value in Carmy realizing the dream girl he's romanticized in his head - Claire - isn't actually#what he wants? Don't you see the beauty in him being disillusioned from that? And realizing that Syd is what he wants?#Don't you see the beauty in Syd having an idealized vision of what Carmy The Great Chef is like realizing she was wrong and that he's human#and flawed and then realizing - she loves him anyway? She loves him more for not being on a pedestal and for having his flaws?#Are you telling me that even thinking about this doesn't move you? Doesn't make your heart ache a little?#And again - ship and let ship - but what is Luca? What is Luca if not just what she was hoping Carmy would be when she wen to The Beef?#What is he if not just another man who she has not seen under pressure yet? Not seen reliving trauma yet? Not been her boss yet?#It's easy to look at him and think he's better than Carmy - and that's the point. That's the point The Bear is making.#It is easy to want someone you don't know. It's hard to want to someone you do know. But that's what love requires and that's the point

son boy raccoon trash can man suffering in a dnd au as a cleric bc his warlock will not stop committing murders and he has to keep coming up with reasons murder is valid to convince the gm its fine and under control
#my characters#oops i fell in love#right is trying his best in the au to think about all the logic behind killing someone despite being a cleric SPECIFICALLY#bc he refuses to hurt anyone irl or in dnd and ok fine their warlock can have a little murder as a treat#and the body count is adding up and hes like ... so tired..... please can you not kill for five minutes im running out of excuses#fwiw he has the weird logic of the group in the base plot and the guy who is the gm here#is v open about ok but if we ask right then hell give an unhinged answer completely thought out and rationalized#and in fact asks him hey i know you refuse to hurt people but im having a debate with these two coworkers#if you had to commit a crime for aaaaaanyone on the planet who would you commit a crime for#and he doesnt even hesitate to say luca obviously to which the asker is like WHAT ABOUT MY DAUGHTER#YOU WANNA MARRY HER AND WONT COMMIT A CRIME FOR HER? but LUCA? of all people???? not even brent?#and right is just so confused because first off brent would probably be the one committing a crime for him without being forced#(brent agrees with this statement with a shrug) and second off luca has really weird coworkers and thought he was getting stalked for a bit#due to a misunderstanding with said one weird coworker so yeah obviously right would threaten the guy with a gun which is illegal and#third and final how could he face his beloved angel (the daughter mentioned above) if he was a criminal#he cant tarnish a sweet little innocent girls opinion by committing a crime IN HER NAME gosh fuck off with that attitude#he has STANDARDS thank you very much#and the three at the table are all like okay yeah that was really thought out on the fly youre right#also brent do not commit any crimes for him please and brent just nods in agreement bc ok he wont commit a crime unprompted#also hi animal crossing emotes are so fun to doodle for bye#once again i am baffled by how different the colors look on my laptop in the art program vs posting to tumblr#im going to go insane at how different they look#IM COLOR PICKING FOR MY OWN OCS AND ITS SO WRONG LOOKING IDK MAN

I just don't understand how we can have nearly four seasons of a show telling us (albeit badly) that high school drama doesn't matter, that both "jocks" AND "nerds/outsiders" have prejudices that they need to get over and somehow a vast majority of you seem to think that joining a sport is evil and only by being into nerd shit are you being truly authentic with yourself
#fandom wank#oh im sure im losing whatever followers i have left with this spiral i have barely participated in fandom lately but like i said#seeing the dustin excerpt just made me sad and mad#the three athletes are genuinely probably three of the most authentic people in the show to the point thats a part of all their character#arcs#by three athletes i mean steve lucas and robin#but yet lucas gets treated like he betrayed his friends steve is constantly portrayed like hes lying to himself#and most people forget that robin was on the soccer team bc they place her so firmly in the band nerd category

rewatching st s4 and just. lucas. love of my life he was trying so hard to do the right thing…. he’s still just the protector guy…… him and steve just…. two bisexual self sacrificing jock peas in a pod……
#d speaks#st#stranger things#stranger things s4#lucas sinclair#steve harrington#they are really. just my two babies!!!!#ep 2 and 3 w lucas knowingly and willingly putting himself into a very dangerous situation and joining unstable aggressive teens#on their literal manhunt. so he can keep an eye on them and divert their attention away from his friends however possible#when they visit band practice and jeff is like ‘lucas???’ the look lucas gives him of ‘DUDE PLEASE IM TRYING TO CONTAIN THIS SITUATION’#all the little white lies he keeps telling. the way andy gets in his face right away from the first morning#the way jason is like fr man this isn’t your fight we will still consider you a friend if you bounce now and lucas seems to genuinely think#that eddie DID kill chrissy or was wrapped up in it. and he still said no i’ll stay and protect eddie because eddie is a part of his circle#and he knows that where eddie goes dustin and mike follow and so he actively chooses to keep himself in a dangerous risky ass situation#just so that he can have intel and work to distract them from his people#also. i know it’s a separate thing but still dying over the little erica and jason at the sinclair door scene#fucking hysterical

I need to edit chapter 2 of bnb but it's not about mike so my mike-obsessed brain is convinced it's boring. which it isn't. which I would remember if i Opened the Document but how likely is that
#intermittently creative#i have discovered that i'm good at writing will but only when he isn't all 'woe is me'#mike disappeared and didn't show up where he said he'd be (the boy who cannot break a promise if his life depended on it)#but i'm sure it's fine#let's focus on the teen drama that's more important than mike's mental health#max also does this but the Teen Drama Instigator (el) has been banished so people can't make everything about mike's girlfriend#whenever they don't like what he has to say#side note remember in mike's argument with max when he turned to lucas and went 'YOUR GIRLFRIEND spied on us'#not nice being reduced to your romantic relationships is it max#i sound so bitchy lmao. i love max amatonormativity (A FEMINIST TERM BTW) just pisses me off

#i will warn you only once: tsc spoilers#literally just finished it as i am drafting this its 5am where i live#so you may be subjected to some nonsense#that all being said i have thoughts.and feelings#the kevin was lovely and tasted delicious! jean defending him at every turn even when he swears to hell and back he'll kick his ass#the kevjean was surprising i was only half expecting that#the dog metaphors i have to say i need this one cashed in. nora run me my check#im joking of course dont quote me on it#jean taking kevins promise to the end and living on it is seriously so. well.#'be careful with him' 'take kevin's name out of your ignorant mouth' 'you promised me'#also kevin getting called the court's queen had me tender and on my back oml#jean's relationship with the trojans is sweet and he is very interesting and complicated#a character with many moving parts im sure#there were a few things i did not care for#namely jeremy and the trojans felt remarkably flat to me bar lucas (by far the most interesting) and catalina on occasion#i didnt quite enjoy jeremy's pov and felt like he spent perhaps way too much time worrying over jean? if that makes sense#i wish he had some more complexity to him or really anything to catch a hook on#all we know is hes attractive and smiley and gets along terribly with his family#so much of his character is sucked out by jean he didnt feel like much more than a plot device to me#which i wouldnt mind if jeremy wasnt the literal main character alongside jean#i was living for everything jean thought but had to drag myself through jeremy's pov if im honest#uuuuh what else. neil! funny. deranged. i have to love him#andrew couldnt give less of a fuck about jean which is funny as all fuck#two bugs placed in the same habitat ignoring each other#the thing with elodie i thought was complicated. i wish we knew some more about her or that shed been mentioned a little earlier#but im assuming thats a topic to be revisited#uuuuuuuh yeah so thats most of it. i think my first thought and the one that sticked out the most to me is that the book felt remarkably#pedestrian#not necessarily in a bad way#it lacked to me one of the main appeals of aftg which were the numerous interesting side characters

something about when el went into void and found billy, she saw him on the beach surrounded by sunshine and love and truly fucking actually happy. something about how when she turned around and saw the storm, she put her hands out and felt the ash falling from the sky, and then saw neil abusing billy and abusing his wife. something about how even in the monstrous world from another entire dimension, neil's still the fucking monster in the story
#idk how the upsidedown and the void and possession work and at this point i dont fucking care#actually something about how she said she saw a someone pretty and then saw a boy#and didnt even click it could be billy until she heard his name get called out#like i guess she wouldn't know what he looked like as a kid and all that#but like.... they knew billy was possessed by this stage like?#and when she was like 'im at the beach' and lucas was like '??? hawkins has no beaches???'#max was like 'tell us what else u see' so pretty sure she was picking up what was getting thrown down#whatever none if this matters!!! i was just clipping up that scene for gifs today and decided to not mute it for once#and was like oh this is actually like genuinely fucking sad#like????? the fact billys hiding out in his memories??? except he cant actually live in just his happiest memory#cos even in his happiest memory#he asks to stay at the beach just a little longer#and his mum hesitates before giving in but still says if they're late then neil'll be mad#also the fact even his happiest memory is still surrounded by some of his most heart wrenching memories#like he can't remember the good without the bad#like his mind physically cant think about the one day on the beach were he caught a 7 foot wave#without remembering the fact that his mum fucking left#cant do this rn sorry guys im fucking emo#m#text

can't believe we're doing this for the second time in less than six months but. you see any Key content being reblogged during the next few weeks (whether recent creations or over the past comebacks) that's the queue talking. someone needs to take that man back to church and pray for him what is he doing
#shinee#kibum#key#kim kibum#first the Minho colorism debacle now whatever the f*ck you want to call this sh*t over the past week or so#this is what. strike two out of three for me?????? for personal reasons the McDonalds ambassador drama + the KeyLand#Lucas shoutout are being grouped together for me to keep track but what is he doing. what's happening. i don't do legal speak so#i don't know how easy it is to get out of huge contracts like that especially if they were renewed months in advance but i do agree#the all in promo is not. it's not giving it feels super icky. in these times it's not a good look that's all i'll say about that.#but Lucas?????? tf?????? who let him out of the cellar after the sh*t that went down for him to even be there the public needs to know#if this is Key's quarter-life crisis era can he keep that offline pls. can he not embarrass himself by speaking on sh*t he does not#need to speak on. can he keep quiet and go back to vibing with Kany is that too much to ask#i'm not going to speak on his relationship with Kany either bc i'm not qualified to speculate + they look like they really do get along#genuinely well and as a shawol of color i'm generally happy for her. that being said tho#Jinki come back ily you need to be healthy yet pls note we're entering the danger zone rn

#I've been a huge trekkie for years but I have the attention span of a gnat#the only one I'm not excited abt is discovery and that's Solely bc it triggered me so bad it makes me ill#which whshaja is not the shows fault I'd just liked luca so when they said#surprise! actually he's awful and groomed his daughter figure!#I got really upset bc I'd liked him lol#which was the point it just unfortunately hit a trauma point#so I gotta. be in the right headspace when I finally watch it shshsh#AM I going in order? no#rn I'm watching all of voyager again bc it's been ages#then I think I'll go back to tos and then maybe enterprise since I've never seen ent

i don't like season three when viewing it as a continuation of seasons one and two, but i do very much like season three when viewing it as the prequel to seasons four and five... hmmmmm.
#rewatching it bc i wanted to make another foreshadowing compilation post for myself regarding what will's actions will#likely be in season five re: vecna and lmao. so many things are just... it's like. it makes me laugh how In Your Face it is now#that we know all that we know. so many direct parallels both with dialogue and actions. mike/will/lucas/el foreshadowing their s4 roles.#the flaying of the holloways and the creels. the dormancy / activation shit. the building shit. the natural progression of their arcs.#the different ways that their characters approach problem solving and how we see tht reinforced by s4. it's so fascinating#genuinely i think idk it was just such a big culture shock i guess u could say from 1 and 2 that it was hard to digest on its own for me#but now that 4 is in the same vein it's like Oh. Okay. Yeah no. I get it now. That's cool. I'm forever bitter but I get it and respect it.#3 4 and 5 are a package deal considering they also said 4 was like part 1 of 5.#it also makes sense bc the point of 3 was that everyone was changing and building themselves in a new way and that#includes vecna so. just so fascinating how they link everything and how their vision is so consistent with certain plots and characters#like. the lucas max mike n will + el involvement is right there. the idea that they have to kill vecna and not just his puppets is right#there. that 2nd point starts in season two but three is where it really turns into an ''the end justifies the means'' situation#(especially for will which i think is something a lot of people overlook but—)#s3 is painful when considering their personal character arcs but fucking delicious when considering the overarching supernatural vecna plot#bc thts also when he starts his ''there is no stopping this'' shtick and actually enters the story#and he's fucking slimy lol. which i Love#anyway. omg first i defended mike in the rain fight and now i'm saying i kind of like season three who the FUCK am i!!!!!#crazy what feeling the need to defend a white boy's honor will do to you 😳

the villainess flips the script is a really fun manhwa with gorgeous art and my wonderful son luca who is a little bitch who i love so much BUT i will say. the family tree situation as the story has gone on makes my head hurt
#luca buddy im sorry ur family tree has at least one circle in it#somehow the most. ethical? incest? his parents were unknowing um. second cousins? hold on i need to work this out#are they second cousins or are they first cousins once removed. i need to consult charts#I THINK they were second cousins. lets go with that. okay so they were second cousins who didnt know they were second cousins#accidentally having a drunken one night stand and thats how luca came to be. no personal relation and apparently risk of like#genetic issues goes down with second cousins. so i guess its like. the most um. 'ethical'? it could possible be. but still :(#but also luca love interest is his second cousin too maybe? the kid of his blond great uncle???? i dont know man#all so the main character can turn out to be secretly royalty orz TOO COMPLICATED too complicated#although i guess this is how a lot of historical royal and noble families were tho. a bit circular.#that is something i would change tho if i wrote this. first of all i would make judith his bio mom instead of pretending#because i think a fl who had a drunken one night stand the dead playboy brother of her LI is just really interesting LOL#but also i would just like. remove her relation to the royal family entirely#but thats me personally. i find the main character finding out about secret royal blood trope suuuuper boring LOL#but it is common in stories like this so i deal. but in this case i would absolute strike out that plotline. maybe give it to#luca instead like make him look oddly like his great grandma and make the former king obsess over him instead#we'd still get a lot of the same plot beats because of judiths relation to him but just without the loopy family tree JKSDJHDKs#ALSO also i would make lucas relationship with rudiger stronger. NOT SAPPIER like the original in universe novel i like the difference#but i would make them closer in like a shitty uncle who sucks that you hang out with anyway and the shitty nephew u lovingly bully#sort of way. if that makes sense. one problem i have with a lot of villianess stories that have a kid in it is when the love interest like#doesn't have much of a relationship with the kid. i think its lame. i want them to be CLOSE not just like mild coworkers#but thats just me. thats just me#despite all i just said i still really like it. rudiger is cute luca is my baby boy who i love so much and judith is so silly and i love he#great characters even if i would personally alter their relationships

rewatching st for the first time since s4 (making my dad watch it for the first time) and steve/nancy and mike/el… 😬
#i need to know why people who watched the show believe mike’s love at first sight claim#?#s01e02 is literally proof that it’s not#love at first sight isn’t even a good trope but IF it were to be in a show they’d portray it like anthony/kate in bridgerton#not whatever this was#and don’t even get me started on stancy#WHY WOULD YOU WANT THEM BACK TOGETHER#THEYRE THE SHOWS WORST PAIRING#BLEGH#they’ve grown SO MUCH since their break up and they’re NOT built for the second chances trope#like even if nancy doesn’t end up with jonathan she really shouldn’t end up with steve#also mike calling el his cousin….#el asking mike if he is gonna be like her brother#i can’t believe i shipped them in 2016 but i was also a kid back then so…#that being said#i missed mike and el and lucas and dustin from s1 tho#AND JOYCE. she was at her prime that season#unbeatable#and i also miss how important will was to the plot. i refuse to believe that it’s been three years since in s4 and mike treats him like that#for no reason at all. like that’s just not mike#actually it’s strange that everyone. literally EVERYONE barely cares about will in s4. almost too weird.#and missing his bday too#there’s something happening#thoughts#stranger things
