I'm slightly obsessed with gen z Crystal Palace looking right at a very dead boy and going "you'd be a fun addition to my body count" babygirl he's already a part of a body count and it's not yours. He's a murder victim!
#dead boy detectives#also how long has body count had a double meaning#?#my impression is it's fairly recent but I'm also not an English speaker by birth so I may have only noticed recently#certainly is a choice of words though but I'm surprised Charles knows it

tolkien (a studied linguist) and me (has taken their fair share of linguistic classes) staring at each other after the narrator casually drops that the hobbits just 'forgot' their languages and simply adopted the common speech as if that is a normal thing that happens out of the blue and isn't connected to at best cultural assimilation and at worst colonialism, imperialism, and oppression
#personal#lotr newsletter#lotr lb#love that you always find new stuff to think about with these books#like this is very easy to read over and simply accept bc it's such a small paragraph and also it's not presented as something super bad?#like i'm not saying the dunedain violently oppressed the hobbits and forced them to learn a new language or smth#but girl the implications...#like there certainly had to have been some kind of hierarchy so that the common speech had more prestige than whatever the hobbits spoke#bc they were multiple languages they were speaking!#like idk what it means rn but it's a fascinating choice to me that they forgot their languages except for a few words.#lmao maybe i'm also thinking too radically about this maybe it's not that deep. but it certainly caught me off guard reading hahaha#*closes the tabs on language death i had opened*

Sometimes I wonder what Tolkien would think about the fact that his books have been popular for so long that some of the words in it have started to change meaning
#this actually isn't even because of all the queers and the gays in the text (although i certainly giggle at those way more than i should)#this time i'm thinking abt this because of that bit in gandalf's letter to frodo. where he says something about how if butterbur#doesn't send the letter forward in a timely fashion gandalf 'shall roast him'#and just. i'm intelligent enough to figure out the general gist of what that's supposed to mean from the context (plus i've read the book#in finnish more times than i've read it in english and the finnish word choice hasn't changed meaning in the same way in the last 50 years)#but also despite that i just. can't help the mental image of the 'roasting' in the figurative sense of the word that i'm more familiar with#lotr#lord of the rings#middle earth#tolkien

Okay, why in the hell in both resolutions of the questlines related to the ASSASSINS GUILD you have an ASSASSIN CHARACTER being like "You know what, by right I should kill you for what you did but I have something better in mind - public humiliation!" as if it anywhere on the same level? 💀
#I guess you could justify both of these decision but it certainly was... a choice#the implication is that it's not the only punishment they're getting but the wording makes it seem like humiliation is the main one#dragon age the veilguard critical#veilguard critical#datv critical#lucanis dellamorte#illario dellamorte#jacobus egrativi#governor ivenci#rayan ivenci

me personally i take anything as a win. the future is bright and the sky's the limit. today, a sydcarmy slow burn miscommunication angst fest. tomorrow, a sydcarmy pussy eating episode. the universe has set out its plans and it wants first and foremost for me to be happy
#the bear fx#sydney adamu#carmy berzatto#sydcarmy#sydney x carmy#ayo edebiri#jeremy allen white#so anw. the bear season 3. yeah um. that was truly a season 👍🏽#like i see the vision i have perceived it i had fun nonetheless and i still trust that everything they chose to show us and not show was#by design etc etc but likeee the sidelining of the poc characters which has been happening for (checks watch) yeah. three seasons. now. for#white characters that serve nothing but do the shits n giggles did not make for a pleasant viewing experience it was just tired and played#out and corny regardless if it was intentional. in the immortal words of Tatianna: that certainly was a choice Christopher!#especially when u consider the acting chops of said sidelined characters. Edwin Lee Gibson for example? christopher. Christopher.#and the cameos are just. it's over christopher#we're moving past that now it was nice the first time we cant spin the block the second time for a little party trick christopher

Daigo is integral to Mine’s sanity of course but decapitating Kanda was like a day two without Daigo decision.
#yakuza#yakuza 3#yoshitaka mine#minedai#(I guess)#‘fed up’ certainly a word choice#day three: stabbed a man in the hand with a butter knife#day three point five: put Daigo down like a dog#one of those moments where you’ll read his devotion to him and think you understand then you see#Mine fold like a sheet of paper a few hours after Daigo gets shot#skyspeaks

That doesn't narrow it down much Holmes, there were several French artists called Vernet.
I start to believe that 'art in the blood' is better known as Autism.
#sherlock holmes#letters from watson#greek interpreter#the word choices here make me feel that the ancestors he refers to are several generations removed from even his grandparents#and part of why i wholly disbelieve the 'third holmes brother' theory#'who appear to... their class' - he doesn't know for sure that that was their lifestyle#the social class he's referring to certainly isn't *his* class#sure his ancestors - great great grandparents or further - were part of the gentry but he's not

Reminder to self when I've done some more writing: Remind people that I'm canon-strict, what that means, and how I guess it means that I'm reclaiming yet another term that has been rendered as being something akin to negative by the masses. Better known as, a... 'lore purist'. Hi, yes, that's me! Hi, hello, my name is Sae, how do you do?
#[ out of character. ] don't bend or water it down. don't try to make it logical. rather: follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.#[ honestly-- i love the muses i have /because/ they're wonderful within their canon from pretty much start to finish. ]#[ i don't fall in love with concepts; i fall in love with actual characters. ]#[ i don't love the idea of dorian. i love /dorian/ as he is. everything about him. ]#[ okay so i don't like how they didn't allow us to see him in full glory tevinter robes but there's logic to that choice. i know. i know. ]#[ but i mean it. can there be small things that i dislike? certainly. but they're rarely choices that play into the grand scheme... ]#[ of things. things that weren't included because they don't HAVE to be (ie: his attire). or idle animations. ]#[ they can't spend time on everything. same with solas. and my genshin/hsr muses. ]#[ it usually pertains to little things and never anything big. i don't... remember when i last went 'divergent'. ]#[ because i haven't had a muse where i think the writers/creators lost their way or made sacrifices. ]#[ any way-- all of this to say what i want to say more thoroughly later: leave fanon at the door when you knock on the door of my blog. ]#[ i /elaborate/ on canon. i don't change it. and yes-- i like the lore of DA. i love it even. ]#[ why would i change it? ]#[ i can 'explain away' most accusations of retcons with relative ease with use of canon. the moment that i can't? well. ]#[ then you can make me eat my own words. but until then. here we are. ]#[ my name is sae-- and i'm a proud lore purist. it's what i've always been. and how i've always functioned on my blogs. ]#[ ... since ezio in 2016. and it won't change. i'll adhere to some changes people make for the sake of their characters of course but-- ]#[ if it changes things that adhere to things that pertain to my muses inherently? not really. unless we /really/ talk. ]

Apologies mean NOTHING if you don't self reflect on your action and continue the toxic behavior that you got called out on.
#not wow related#Words of wisdom#Wanting me DEAD for something I've never done is.....certainly a choice#Posting memes about it later on after “apologizing”?

Highlighted the important part of this.
#i'm being passive-aggressive with the gc >_>#like. it's not all there is to him even now.#he's become better as a person#i didn't like “he's tamer now” that's a poor word choice but. he's certainly gotten better with the team now.

I do understand that post that’s like “future nurses are using ai to glide through classes rn” in the sense of like. Sure if you’re going into a lifesaving profession you should probably actually like. Know that shit to save lives etc. but I simply can’t rb bc like. Do you think nurses (and college students in general really) just. Weren’t cheating before ChatGPT? Do you think they weren’t having other people write their essays? Or getting the questions for tests from their friend who took the class the day before them? Like. Ai is not the birth of cheating in your college classes. My aunt tells a story about her and one of her best friends from college made sure to take the same class with the same professor but on different days bc her friend was better at that kind of thing (I think it was like. A geology class?) and her friend would copy down all of the questions from the labs (and sometimes quizzes/tests if she could remember them) to give to my aunt for her lab the next day. This was in like 2003 long before ChatGPT. People have been doing that since we started giving each other tests probably.
#my uncle did a similar thing when he was the ta for a class his friend was in. this isn’t new !#idk the post is very weird to me.#like the ppl say it’s terrifying I promise you there have always been nurses cheating on their exams. they’re just using computers to do it#which is not to say I’m for ai just the wording of it is certainly a choice#although I personally don’t think there’s anything wrong with cheating on an exam so. maybe it’s a morals things idk#fuck academic dishonesty I don’t give a shit about that.#mostly bc I think lying is. literally whatever in. a lot of situations.#like obv there’s situations where you shouldn’t lie/it would be wrong to do but like. there are many more where it’s literally fine or even#better to lie than to tell the truth.#so actually the post is literally fine probably I just don’t think cheating in your classes is like. morally wrong nor is it a particularly#good reason to hate ai. bc cheating has always and probably will always existed#prsnl
