#I’m gonna hold your hand through it don’t worry #you don’t have to know that I’m specifically referencing books 10 and 11 #though I am going to tell you #and just know I am vibrating getting to use my classics and ancient history degree #and I will talk at you about Ancient Greek conceptions of the underworld and the significance of odyesseus’ ritual on the island in book 10 #AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF TIRESEASE #my beloved #Tiresias will become important to Ed cause just look at them #don't try me cause I did a whole research project about Tiresias and I will use my knowledge for evil #OH #OR THE GAETE #I could pull in thematic references to the gaete #mwahahahaahahahahahaha #maybe #socially it would be fantastic #physically maybe too gruesome for the fic #but hey #who knows #I love ancient history :) <3 #I read Ajax last night #bad move considering everything #but also maybe great move for my streak of wanting to reference ancient tragedy in all of my fics #Ajax might show up in msf and ms #watch out #if you're reading both im sorry but it will happen again

In which Ford struggles so badly to relate to other people that he wonders if he’s really human at all. The more isolated he becomes, the harder it is to reconcile with his own humanity.

#my art #gravity falls #Stanford pines #ford pines #bill cipher #comic #eye strain #TIME TO DUMP EVERY ONE OF THE 27483949 THOUGHTS IVE HAD INTO THE TAGS BABY #OK!! SO!!!!#I feel like Ford would wonder why he and Stan (being identical twins) aren’t. yk. identical. shouldn’t Stan have polydactyly too?#as a kid he would dream about secretly being nonhuman and being whisked away to a fantastical world full of people like him #finally free of new jersey‚ finally somewhere he belongs #a lot of this disconnect from humanity came from utterly failing at social interactions while others (including stan) navigated them easily #the feeling waned after Stan was kicked out and he didn't have that direct comparison but it never left #then out in the wilderness of gravity falls‚ his isolation and immersion in Weirdness dragged it back up to the forefront #he deserves to have a breakdown over questioning his own nature. as a treat <3 #color symbolism time bc I have a problem and use it at every available moment!!! blue and yellow get more vivid #the further from humanity the subject is #bill is entirely made w pure rgb blue and yellow (+ approximately 2674835 textures/layers/blending modes. I reached 150+ layers. help)#I like the idea that he would appear to ford like pure math considering hes a geometrical motherfucker and how the rest of the mindscape wa #I tried to mostly use trigonometry and related stuff for the Math Greebling. as well as fractals i love you forever fractals #MORE SYMBOLISM:#the grid-ish diamond pattern in all of the mindscape bgs (and elsewhere) is a penrose diagram of spacetime #which shows other universes on the other sides of black holes #SOMEONE ASK ME ABOUT MY EUCLYDIA HEADCANON LATER. IVE DUMPED ENOUGH DUMB HCS IN THESE TAGS ALREADY #BUT I THINK ITS VERY FUN #anyways. fuckt up guys n their egos influencing how they view humanity. bill tells ford hes as human as they come bc he was so easily foole #ford cant reconcile with his humanity bc of a failure to perform in one area #and then the immense guilt and shame over what hes done <3 #I have So many ford characterization thoughts. no man nor god can stop me

Nathaniel Benedict/Ledroptha Curtain (TMBS) and Count Olaf (ASOUE) are proof that mentally unstable former theater kids with sad backstories make the most entertaining villains, especially when their main adversaries are genius children they lose to every episode. And one of them is canonically a literal toddler/baby.

#This has been in the drafts since 2022 #Feel like I should dump it out though I'll keep the OG tags on which are about how I could never write fic. Hahahahahahaha #Past Bods had no idea. She was a fool. A clown. I'm still a clown arguably a worse clown but the irony is not lost on me #anyway here are the OG tags:#They're both so dramatic #i REALLY want to write a female villain like this guys I have so many ideas #Too bad I can’t write original content #But oh if I could write #Sadly my creativity stops short of the good idea #or maybe I'm just tired #but seriously this would be fantastic #Back to new tags: Nerissa Benedict #And I have others as well that would be great #But we really need more silly female villains #Give the people (me) what they want #The female version of Dr. Doofenshmirtz #Just a woman with ADHD no social awareness and a dramatic backstory and evil plans that are mildly annoying at best #Tmbs #ASOUE #the mysterious benedict society

I have a big google doc thing where I keep track of media and stuff (putting everything in loosely ranked categories), which is mostly just for my own reference so I know what tv shows I've already seen before, etc. and I never really look back through it, typically just a quick "okay, watched two movie in the past 8 months, need to quickly slap them somewhere in the lists. okay. done. save document. exit". But today I was actually reading through some of the old notes and there are like... MULTIPLE places where my comment is basically "It would have been good if it were about elves" or "I wish there was a fantasy show made in this same style" or "It's well made, but I just keep thinking about how I would like it more if everyone was an elf or was in old 1700s costumes" or etc like...... lol.... Most biased media ranking system on earth blatantly made by someone with an extremely hyperspecific range of narrow interests. It'd be like if a food reviewer only had 5 foods they actually liked, so they'd just go to a pizza place and be like "eh, the pizza was okay, but I just think it would be better if it was cereal instead. :/ ...2 out of 10"

#Which.. I mean... I am allowed to be biased because literally it's just for my own personal reference (or occasionall #y to send to friends or something if we're discussing the topic) so like.. nowhere am I saying 'I am the god of perfect taste and these #rankings are objectively the absolute truth and everyone should have my same opinion' or anything #BUT still.. it's funny to me sometimes #'Succession would be 100x better if it had the same cast/character quirks and shaky camera style and #acting choices/weird dialogue and general concept etc. EXCEPT it takes place within an elven noble family or something #managing the family business and everyone is in fantasy costumes now'' like.....okay...... but it's NOT that way..soo... thats not the show #''I like the acting style/general tone of Fleabag but i don't care for any of the characters or any of the subject matter and I wish it was #set in the 1800s and had vampires and was about magic instead'' okay..... again... you are making up an entirely new show in that case lol #OR my other beloved typical complaint ''The concept is good but theres too much plot and action and not enough people just sitting #around doing nothing and exposition dumping world and character lore'' ''this needs more goofy sideplots and filler episodes''#''this Drama was too dramatic I think it should be more lighthearted & people need to sit around doing nothing just being weird more often'#''the Action Movie was ok except for the action scenes - which I skipped through all of- but I liked the costumes and worldbuilding'' etc.#ERM sorry your plot has too much plot. also elves have to be included somehow. bye #BUT SERIOUSLY!!!!!! I literally genuinely believe that any show I like (or even dislike) could ALWAYS be improved greatly by #putting people in fantasy or historical costume/setting/etc... why the FUNK would I want to see bland jeans and cars and cell phones #when I could see elaborate velvet cloaks and fantastical landscapes and interior design and innovative takes on historical or #magical technology or etc. etc. etc. I LIVE in the modern day. I see it all the time!!! BORING! stinky!! boo!!!#ANYWAY... another social divide for me.. People love to bond by discussing media. which is hard when I'm like #'I literally will not watch something at all unless it fits into one of these 10 extremely specific categories which are all i care about i #the entire world''.. I say this and yet I still dislike most fantasy or historical things I've watched lol. ok TWO main criteria then!!#it must 1. be in a different world or time period. 2. be goofy silly. Nothing ever has BOTH. It's always overly serious boring drama action #fantasy/history stuff OR it's comedic lighthearted but with modern day characters... WHY.. anguish and woe and so on..#ANYWAY jhjnk... at least I can make that divide. Some people seem to project their own personal preferences and get really emotionally #defensive if you say you didn't like something - as if the fact that they DO like it is some Objective Truth or something rather than just #opinion/preference based. I can still easily say ''this is well made/well written/acted/good in a technical sense/has a lot of #points of appeal that most people would be drawn to/etc'' and admit that it's a GOOD show probably. I just PERSONALLY think its #bad because my tastes are very narrow. Some things ARE actually made badly but. things are not bad INHERENTLY just bc they dont suit ME lol #Better to recognize/accept whats odd about you and be peacefully aware of it than just being mad at everyone all the time for not fully #agreeing with you even when you're the one with the Weird opinion in that case lol.. I am right though :3 but.. lol... still. i get it

okay this is my perception of autism in ted lasso. my qualification is that i'm autistic.

characters that i think are definitely autistic:

trent

beard

roy

barbara

sharon

dani

nate

characters that i'm like hmmm might be touched with tism but i'm not sure

ted

jamie (a lot of people seem to headcanon autistic jamie)

could be persuaded about keeley but her social abilities are quite high so hmm like she does literally work in the field of making sure people perceive you positively. but she makes a lot sexual comments that aren't really appropriate usually and seems unaware or uncaring of this. so hmmmmmm.

also autism is not statistically that common so having that many autistic people in one place is kind of unlikely but for the sake of fun and entertainment and blorbo favorite characters i'll allow it

#see my thing with ted is i always thought he was intentionally choosing to break social rules #he'd do awkward things for like. a thought about reason #not because of ignorance #like he subs out jamie to teach him about team playing #he keeps coming to rebecca's office and asking questions because he's trying to break through her shell #things like that #it didn't give off the vibe that he didn't know what he was doing just that he chose to do it anyway #but i'm not against autistic ted i can see it and that would be fantastic #i'm just explaining why i didn't think of the idea myself #ted lasso #autistic ted lasso

people leaving not glowing reviews in ao3 bookmarks my unbeloved

#went onto one of my fics to familiarise myself with interactions before continuing to tackle a planned sequel #saw someone else had bookmarked it and went :DD and got even more excited to see it had been bookmarked with a comment #buut the comment was just like 'i mean it was alright' which isn't shattering criticism but it's like #i spent 2 weeks writing and editing and tying myself in knots and worrying about the depiction of characters in that fic #it's one that i'm actually quite proud of and am putting a lot of effort into the follow-up and trying to maintain the same tone #why would someone bother to bookmark it if it just felt average -- moreover why bother to say that?#i've seen worse ones #like i understand that you're not going to like every single fic in existence but unless people ask for feedback #you don't need to leave your critical review in a comment that the author can see #and i know how i've worded it may sound conceited #but some i've seen very much carry the same vibe as being invited in to someone's house and dumping spaghetti bolognese on their carpet #like if you're not a fan either don't accept the invitation or politely leave instead of posting a pic on social media #with a caption of how much of a state the house was #it just baffles me why someone would bookmark something they didn't thoroughly enjoy #anyway #shoutout to the fantastic people who leave lovely comments on fics and in bookmarks and put a smile on fic writers' faces you're all swell #even just a !!!!!! makes my day <3 #personal #lit talks

I want to do so many things lately with friends but have had almost 0 social battery. I wish I could do things adjacent to other people, like... I wanna play a game while sitting next to someone while they play their own game, or read a book with my legs in someone's lap or vice versa!!

Parallel hobby-ing where we're both doing our own thing, but are around enough to idly comment on what we're doing without having to fully engage the entire time.

I want to do that! And maybe share tea.

#i miss having an apartment and a roommate.#admittedly i would get stressed out being in such close quarters with people 24/7 #but it would be nice to have again if we had the ''astronaut time'' policy. yk from the post?#ohhhhh i miss having floor time with my roommates actually too.#lying on the floor in quiet. occasionally SIGHING and venting whatever is stressing us. no obligation to comment. just existing.#something about floor time with a friend when stressed is really good.#the. LOL. the big sigh from one of us followed by the pat pat of silent solidarity.#i don't miss college bc a lot of it did an insane number on my mental health that i'm still working through. but.#i miss having a close social circle and independence. and the freedom to just go out if i wanted.#i could!!! ride my bike to the store!!! or walk! and i didn't have to get permission!!! it was fantastic.#anyway. ahhh. man. maybe again one day.#merri mumbles

“Danse Macabre,” Moon Knight (Vol. 9/2021), #25.

Writer: Jed MacKay; Pencilers and Inkers: Alessandro Cappuccio, Alessandro Vitti, and Partha Pratim; Colorist: Rachelle Rosenberg; Letterer: Cory Petit

#Marvel #Marvel comics #Marvel 616 #Moon Knight vol. 9 #Moon Knight 2021 #Moon Knight comics #latest release #Moon Knight #Marc Spector #ayyyyy Waxman!!!#What an absolutely fantastic microcosm analogy for Marc’s past morally grey decisions coming back to haunt him #although some could argue…would it have been more prudent for Marc to have instead found a more…permanent solution #as opposed to just leaving him encased forever?#and would that even have been more morally objectionable than the fate arguably worse than death Marc had planned for Waxman?#so it could be an interesting debate whether this is a punishment for being ‘too lenient when violent action was necessary’ or #if it’s ‘retribution for doling out a cruel and an unusual punishment’#and then there’s varying levels of morality #like what would bring about the most social good overall and which decision would allow Marc to feel like he’s not backsliding #into behavior he’d rather leave behind #would make for a rousing discussion possibly #oh and gosh do I adore the art here

The Last of Us: Here, have a great romantic and heart breaking storyline.

People: But I wanted the teenage girl to find a gay porn magazine and joke about it 😠

#I do not get it honestly #also I saw a video of the ''fantastic banter'' we missed out on that some people would rather have than the story we got #and like... it wasn't that fantastic not if we have to choose between that and what we got #what we got was a story of love growing despite the world around them #it was also sad to see a queer man not being able to be himself and be happy until the whole world burned #but it was also a fantastic bit of social commentary because of that #Nicole watches stuff

well, I am officially on to season 2 of "Miss Scarlet and the Duke", and based on the first episode at least, the writing does seem to have improved a bit?? this may be a case of First Episode of the Season Syndrome (added nuance and subtlety to kick the season off but immediately dropping back down to mediocre levels until the finale), but I'm hopeful that many of my complaints about the first season won't be as present going forwards!

but also, oww. the end... that was... yikes. my heart hurts now. 😧

#the whole final scene of this episode was fantastically done tho #the acting direction pacing lighting... all of it was //great// and really compounded the emotions of that last bit #and the metaphor of the door between them... both walking towards it and wanting to step through to the other but neither quite able to #and then eventually both backing off and choosing to walk away in the end #it's a great visual symbol for their relationship at this point #and how what they ultimately need is to figure out a way to meet in the middle #but it's going to take both of them committing at the same time and to the same purpose for that to happen #and that is going to be /hard/ for these two to do #despite how much they want to be part of each other's lives #but also!! kudos to Eliza for being so open and honest about her feelings and boundaries!! that was really cool!!#and then leaving the ball in his court and not getting angry and starting an argument when he chose the course he did #(yet. I'm sure there's going to be lots of emotional fall-out to this over the course of the rest of the season.)#both of these people really need to learn some lessons about respect and loyalty and sacrifice for the people you care about tho lol #which I do think is the whole point.#William would see it as demeaning and belittling for her to override his authority or refuse to take orders from him.#Eliza Will Not be caged or dictated to and she wants to be allowed to make her own decisions and follow her own intuitions at whatever cost #she needs to be more careful to consider how her decisions will make him feel (if not how they will make him look)#and he needs to attempt to respect her and understand that her pushing back against him isn't to be taken as an attack #but that he should lean into it and allow her the space to make her own decisions. it's complicated because of the social situation #but yeah. respect is ultimately the thing here. and they both need to learn some more of it lol.#miss scarlet and the duke #gurt says stuff #oh also both of these people are FANTASTIC face actors and it's incredibly fun to watch until it's not anymore #and it's just making my heart hurt because of how much yearning they're both exuding but are both entirely unable to express openly #hhghsghhsghgshgsd

This is a great take!

What I'd give for one of the Cinderella remakes to go into how when you're in an isolated and abusive situation, sometimes you need to be saved and you're not weak if you can't escape by yourself

I've never been a fan of bad faith reinterpretations of fairy tales, especially ones which flatten the originals into "princesses is saved by a prince and nothing else", to then go #girlboss. The princess can save herself because she's a strong female character! (Implying if you're in a bad situation, it's because you're not strong enough to get out)

#disney #cinderella #princess #prince charming #disney princess #art #this isn't my best art but i wanted to get these sketches out #cinderella has so many good possibilities for a modern socially-relevant film #so many people lack agency in their lives and try to find moments to feel freer #and the prince could be a good example of how to use wealth/influence #i want my film with the prince figuring out this stranger's in a bad situation and doing what he can to get her out #and doing it mostly platonically #and then having the chance to fall in love after #that is such a fantastic idea!#i would watch the heck out of that!!!#fav art

The thing about my best friend’s family is that they’re perfectly nice people for the most part but talking to them makes me feel like I’m negotiating for my life in a hostage situation

#i’m ngl a lot of social interactions feel like this when you have like 3 different types of anxiety plus panic disorder #but her brother and her niece in particular are something else #her sister doesn’t stress me out as much because i already know she doesn’t like me so i don’t feel any pressure to impress her #i also know she dislikes me for valid reasons (aged 21 i disrupted their boxing day party by getting alcohol poisoning)#so really i just try not to annoy her any more than i naturally will by existing #her mum is okay. her child is basically my favourite person in the world but my god is she a lot #the last time i was there she drew on my face #who else is there.. the other niece is okay. the nephew sucks but he mostly ignores me #the significant others of all of these people generally look shell shocked so i try not to stress them out further #the dogs are all fantastic. chef’s fucking kiss no notes. i would adopt ruby today if asked #personal

It is almost like you have a certain interest in how I father.

#baby I get triplets all over the place #I get visions in smoke and sun visions where I stare at the electric corona #and I have had a few visions of us fucking too #I somehow poured my own equal amount of will into the first driver of the house #and man it is super annoying sometimes #do I love her? oh yes too much.....#oh you know sitting in a room watching the most asinine musical ever in a foreign language that U understand not a word #look I let him do his thing because.... I just feel like it's the right thing to do #just tell her to you know give him something to do #probably a lot of her if I had to guess #he DEFINITELY likes girls yet he won't bite on any....even the girl from elementary school was still lookiing him up #good luck finding him on social media he is a ghost #I bet that shit he reads is fucking fantastic writing though...I have played with that #and if he had a hand in helping daddy get his shit back together....start to anyway then cool #my kids were awesome I would depression sleep and they would make a mess of course but they were alright.

neocities guide - why you should build your own html website

do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again? try neocities!!

what is neocities?

neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."

why should I make my own website?

web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

what would I even put on a website?

the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !! here are some cool example sites to inspire you: recently updated neocities sites | it can be fun to just look through these and browse people's content! space bar | local interstellar dive bar creature feature | halloween & monsters big gulp supreme peanutbuttaz | personal site dragodiluna linwood | personal site patho grove | personal site

getting started: neocities/html guide

sound interesting? here are some guides to help you get started, especially if you aren't familiar with html/css sadgrl.online webmastery | a fantastic resource for getting started with html & web revival. also has a layout builder that you can use to start with in case starting from scratch is too intimidating web design in 4 minutes | good for learning coding basics w3schools | html tutorials templaterr | demo & html for basic web elements eggramen test pages | css page templates to get started with sadgrl background tiles | bg tiles rivendell background tiles | more free bg tiles

fun stuff to add to your site

web revival manifestos & communities

also, there's actually a pretty cool community of people out there who want to bring joy back to the web! melonland project | web project/community celebrating individual & joyful online experiences. Also has an online forum melonland intro to web revival | what is web revival? melonking manifesto | status cafe | share your current status nightfall city | online community onio.cafe | leave a message and enjoy the ambiance sadgrl internet manifesto | yesterweb internet manifesto | sadly defunct, still a great resource reclaiming online social spaces | great manifesto on cultivating your online experience

in conclusion

i want everyone to make a neocities site because it's fun af and i love seeing everyone's weird personal sites that they made outside of the control of capitalism :) say hi to me on neocities
