Apparently I've been acting so unlike myself that my colleague who is working from home tday asked if I was ok because she felt there were 'pattern changes'. 🥲

No I'm fine, I just hate everyone here and this job. But I'm good.

I woke up. Yay.

THE MAGNUS PROTOCOL IS A PODCAST

[spikershoyo]

summer in monte carlo, monaco + alexandra saint-mleux mood board

[idkmanwtfishumanityanymore]

Chat help I think I’m getting sucked into the BeetleJuice fandom-

I watched, 2 fucking animatics, by the same person, “The whole being dead thing”, and “Invisible(reprise)/on the roof & say my name”, and suddenly I’m hooked. Specifically because of how he was drawn-

I want you to look at this man, look at this stupid looking man, and you’ll understand what I mean when I say he looks like he’s going to kill me and sell my organs, but simultaneously looks like the most huggable mother fucker you’ve ever seen and I’d trust him with my life. (A horrible decision, I know.)

From what I remember abt the movie, BeetleJuice was kinda- a total creep- but from what I’ve seen of the musical (with Alex Brightman) (please god tell me I spelt that right-) he’s not nearly as “never let this man near a school”- So I’m sticking to the musical part of the fandom strictly- if anyone knows other BeetleJuice media where he’s not a creep, please inform me- I know next to nothing about this man bc the musical isn’t on YT in full.

So... you imagine DoL set in the early 2000s? ME TOO. Tell me more about that!

aaaaaaa yes I do!!!! (Sorry for the late reply haha. I kept forgetting to come back to this ask) I think I started to feel that way pretty early on, since there's hardly any electronics around in game.

You don't have access to a phone yourself (which, admittedly makes sense as an orphan) but electronics get barely mentioned in general. (I'm guessing the true reason for it, is that it would be too much of a hassle to implement electronics as a mechanic in game. bc arguably you should easily be able to buy a phone or w/e later on, if dol actually took place in our time) Named npcs often have phones to record you with (which I kinda forgot about tbh lmao) but unless in that context, phones don't get brought up at all iirc. None of the named npcs ever ask you for your phone number and Social media isn't really a topic of conversation either.

The only Computers that I remember mentioned in game are Leightons, Mickey's, Kylars and the one you can check in the police station. (I don't remember if Bailey even has one or not.) They are far and few between. They also all read as desktop computers to me and not laptops. Hell, the only gaming Console to ever be a topic of interest, is Robins. I don't think we hear of/see any handheld conosles at all. Even TV's rarely get mentioned.

Pop Culture, like manga, anime and games doesn't seem to be a big thing yet either.

All of that gives me the impression that most electronic is still pretty sparse and hard to come around and kinda reminds me of my childhood when those interests where still conisdered niche/nerdy and weird. The few characters that have desktop pc's seem to be ones that had/have enough money (like Kylar, maybe Bailey?) to foot the bill, are either in a high enough position of power to own one (like leighton) or they're involved enough in shady business that they might have the resources to have their own equipment (Mickey).

tbf a lot of my reasoning can be argued against or easily explained away, but I think dol is infinitely more interesting as a game/story when it's set during the early/mid 2000s, where most electronics were still hard to come by.

Oh and last but not least: it simply makes for easier story telling haha. I think there would be way more ""plot holes"" you'd have trouble explaining away if it was set during modern times. considering how much digital surveilance we have nowadays.

Aside from all the examples I just brought up, dol just has that 2000s grime to me. It's so grungy and dank in it's vibes that it always reminds me of that timeframe. Just has that kinda clunky/kitschy charm to it. (a more eclectic personal explanation is that the seasons in game still feel the way I remember them for my childhood. nowadays everything feels really out of wack thanks to global warming. Although I'm sure that people who are older than me would say the same haha)

to keep this already long post short(er lmao) I'm gonna go into some headcanons under the cut; Basically which Characters have electronics and why:

Avery: has an expensive af and extremely clunky looking (by todays standards) work laptop, that she sometimes lugs around. Also owned one of the first mobile phones. Those really big and blocky ones. Maybe even had one of those phones that were built into cars. However, I think shed be kinda annoyed by mobile phones*, even if she's extremely diligent in answering her calls. (the grind never stops) *based on this comic from 1919 about pocketphones: Mostly because she strikes me as someone who doesn't care to be overly accessible and also hates it when whatever shes doing at the moment gets disrupted by something else.

Alex: Canonically has a phone in game. To me it's a landline phone. They don't own much electronics beside it. They have no desktop pc and no mobile phone. (canonically the own a tv and I feel like they'd have a radio, maybe even an old record player) Bailey: It would make sense for them to have a desktop computer but I can't remember if they canonically (and with that I mean in game) do have one or not. I could see it either way tbh. As they strike me as a stubborn hard ass whos paranoid about electronics and quickly gets annoyed by it) They only own burner phones aside from the official landline phone thats designated for "over the counter" orphanage business. Eden: Has an old ass radio and an extremely dusty burner phone that bailey gave them once. They don't own anything else

Harper: has a mobile phone they got from Remy, it's purely for business. I don't think they have one for personal business. They own a pager though bc of the hospital. They probably have a desktop pc too if only for hospital stuff.

Kylar: Has a Desktop pc, their parents footed the bill for that many screened monstrosity (tbf i dont know enough to remember if old pcs are even able to have several monitors connected to them or not). Probably had a mobile phone once. Whitney stole it. They own a few consoles but they prefer pc gaming (pc master race /j) Some 2000s era games (with no consideration for an exact timeframe) that I think Kylar would be into are : Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines American McGee's Alice Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 / Persona 3 Portable The Urbz: Sims in the City The Sims 2 The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Robin: No mobile phone, the only electronics they keep around (until they inevitably need to sell them for emergency money) are an old tv and a gaming console. I have no concrete headcanons regarding the exact console and games unfortunately. (They seem to like superhero related stuff and I don't remember enough games that I associate with that direction of the top of my head)

Sydney: Has access to a landline phone but thats it. they don't have a mobile phone. Maybe they got to look at/ try out a pc at Kylars house once upon a time, but I don't think Sirris has one themself. I might be off with this but I could see Sirris being the one who bought a few early nintendo consoles like the SNES and Game Cube. Maybe even a gameboy.

Whitney: I don't think Whitney or their family is particularly wealthy so all of the access to electronics that they got, is either through wealthier friends, bullying or stealing. They have a mobile phone and probably a few handheld consoles they nabbed off their victims (in secret).

At the function thinking about my ocs

[rockingtheorange]

[gaygirldoodles]

we need to talk about Alex Fierro basically being called the norse version of the t-slur more often

[dezonontmoetdemaan]

Sometimes I think how I've gotten a lot better with overthinking and overanalyzing everything I do.

Except I just found myself on the bus sitting in a seat that is not the most preferable but it will do and then we stopped and people got off the bus and should I move to a new seat now? Is it weird if I pick a new seat? Which one should I pick then? The one all the way at the front? But what if someone gets on the bus and needs a seat immediately? Maybe I should pick the ones that face the opposite direction of the driving direction. Less people like facing the wrong direction, and I don't mind. But those don't have a step up like the ones at the front. Maybe I should pick the ones at the front which are less accessible to people with mobility issues. Or maybe I should just keep my current seat which is technically the area for wheelchair users and strollers. And then I can just get up when one of those gets on. But maybe I shouldn't block those to begin with etc etc etc.

In the end I just kept my seat and overthought the whole thing so much all the other seats are taken up again. How did I even find myself here. Like just do whatever you want Alex. It's not that deep. It's a fucking bus seat. I drive myself insane sometimes.

[theenemyod]

Need to survive to Christmas. That will keep me going for two months. Then I need to survive to my next birthday. Which is about four months from now. Okay. So I think that can keep me alive for four months. Then I'll see where we go from there.

hi, i reckon i hadn't posted my face in centuries around here, so here it is (though i look tired lol)!

a shot from earlier today at the regional communications congress (part of the national congress, the biggest one in the country), where i spoke about trans history and the impact of press media in forming opinions about the community inside the capitalist system, based on two historical points, 1921 and 2021, in the state of Pernambuco, northeast Brazil (to put it simply 😅).

i'm very proud and relieved that it went well and despite my nervousness i was able to explain the steps that took me to this research, that serves as a baby step towards deeper, more intrinsic studies of gender diversity in this region. yay and let's keep going forward!
