there is something kinda hysterical about Scala being called ✨ Scala ad Caelum ✨ and then having location names like Breezy Quarter. Rose Street. Long Long Street. But it’s also cute if you assume that they’re just “on the nose” types of names. Like Breezy Quarter’s full of windmills and stuff. Long is long. Maybe Rose is a street where the flower market is, for all we know
#roadie rambles#though imo breezy quarter kinda bangs#if you consider: cable town#named for. the cables.#then yeah I guess this does check out#scala ad caelum is just stairway to the sky but in latin. Stair City…..#sorry if this is just incoherent rambling I’m very tired#scala culture

in the notes of the relationship-with-your-parents post someone was talking about the concept of having a family group chat or not which was interesting to me bc like. we have one but it’s all either like effectively management or life update type stuff (like ‘we are going out of town on may 2nd’ ‘can someone pick up [name] from [place]’ ‘remember to file your taxes’) or pictures of our dog (truly the glue of this entire family not even joking) so does that count idk. like we are not buddy buddy gang gang besties who chat happily about our personal interests as an entire group but we don’t not talk to each other idk
#i’ve always said my dad is a business middle manager type guy first and a person with relationships to other people second#think his idea of happiness for all us kids is for us to be financially successful as adults#which like. it’s true we’re all very responsible and smart#but hoo boy does his fixation on that mean he doesn’t care about our emotional well being#like i’m glad he’s on top of all our legal/financial matters#but i could never imagine infodumping to him about video games or music or fashion or whatever#you win some you lose some i guess. i’m very lucky in a lot of ways#in the exact same ways as him.#and unlucky in the exact same ways as him as well.#man is miserable but you look at his own parents and you’re like ohhhh yeah ok that checks out#you failed to break the cycle but you at least like. tried slowing it a bit or something idk. could’ve been worse#he’s emotionally unavailable and i’m emotionally unavailable because of him#but at least i’m not emotionally unavailable plus broke plus in jail plus stupid or something#peach rambles

#i swear this is my last negative politics post lolol but last night was not a win#it wasn't a total loss but it was not a win#i need people to understand the liberals are NOT a left leaning party#and mark carney is the epitome of the whole “socially liberal fiscally conservative” mindset#like i understand and maybe even agree that he is probably the best person to navigate the current situation with the trade war and all#and is still better than the alternative but as a whole the conservatives actually had better statistics than every other party#just because pierre pollievre lost his seat does not mean we're done having to worry about him unfortunately because he's still leader#i won't even go into the npd's losses because that is a whole other fucking thing but losing official party status is a MASSIVE setback#and don't even get me started on the issues i have with so-called strategic voting#and yeah i'm pissed that the liberals did nothing for basically a decade regarding electoral reform#some really genuinely good mps losing their seat because of “strategic voting” (mike morrice and blake desjarlais for example)#so yeah i know it could've been worse but i'm unfortunately not celebrating today either#anyway i'm done being a negative little bitch about the election i guess i'll just go check out memes about the girthy ballot instead

good god. done some brief catching up of the news over the past few weeks in the uk since ive been pretty tapped out due to focusing on uni and having like. a still ongoing mental health crisis. very bleak that having labour in charge literally seems no different to the conservatives. (didn't expect much but holy hell. it's bad) (giving ozempic to unemployed people to get them back to work? sending job advisors to visit patients in mental health hospitals? REAL suggestions from the health secretary of the uk). and now kemi badenoch is head of the conservatives.
#i know that like “history repeats itself” and all#but why does like. things start to get more progressive#and then everything like. veers to the right again#like we were fine. whats happening. why do rightwing ideologies flare up#i know its partly like. response to economic global political instability#but it feels like. a lot of that instability often stems from right wing policies??#um yeah will probably be checking out again im really not in the headspace for this#and i didnt realise it was this bad#and then you look at this and realise that this doesnt even include climate change and its like.#yeah thats still a thing. welcome to the uk i guess. um. goodbye#(will be back when us election results are announced probs)

#NOT constructive criticism HATE#the wyll fans esp are critical geniuses#i mean actual mean spirited morally superior hate posts#like guess what guys: i used to dislike gale#and i just kept that shit to myself bc why would i come ruin everyone's fun why does it matter#then i spent more time w the character and engaging with him and it opened my eyes! love him now! it's chill#there r a couple things i do find triggering also... wyll's first kiss being locked behind a persuasion check#and really just the whole premise of astarion's first romantic encounter#but like ik that's a ME thing and it's not inherently evil and there are many ways to interpret etc#but yeah i just never kiss wyll that night#astarion i have more trouble with and im trying to headcanon my way out of it after avoiding his romance for awhile#i just personally can't deal with the idea of someone engaging in sex while dissociating/not being wholeheartedly engaged#now im rambling lol but yeah confessions#lush.talk

Dad was seriously planning to go to work while Lucifer is unwell and I had the meltdown from hell last night.
Like I said to him: "I can't even handle myself right now, and I'm supposed to be keep an eye on him too?!"
There ain't no way that would end in any other way but disaster... like come on now.
#he also knew i hadn't even slept 2 hours so far.#so if anything happened with Lucifer while I'd try to sleep I'd just go into meltdown again.#so like... what the actual fuck man...#also why the fuck must i even tell him that?? he knows more than well enough that it wouldn't work...!#but nah. post meltdown me must sort it out. what an absolute fucking joke.#in other news it SEEMS to be Lucifers neck again... but hard to say. he does seem better today. but we did give him painkillers last night#so like yeah he really should be better... but he's still obviously effected... which worry me.#we do have a vet time for monday... for other things really but also for a general check.#so i guess... unless he seems super suuuuper off... we may just wait til then.#cause most likely the vets would tell us to do just that. since he is generally still ok and listening and eating and drinking and all.#still looking up when you enter a room and stuff right. so he is doing ok... like all things considered.#which means they probably wouldn't take him anyway. just tell us to keep giving him the meds and call it a day.#so yeah.. just gotta wait and see now#ryder speaking

Possibly cw for ed, sorta numbers (steps), also fit check. Not body

Knives knives knives knives (in tune of something i think is by bo burnham) also idk why my middle finger looks like that it aint cut or anything.
Is 5,377 steps in 49 mins good? Bad?? Like i said. Gonna go to 10,000, but uh. God give me a moment im NOT passing out from fucking simple dehydration.
Uavgfns tbh i kinda feel like shit. Like maybe a bit better tho? Proud ish maybe?? Uh. As in ‘at least im doing something’
(Ok so little edit, i looked it up and it said abt 30-50 mins for 5000 steps so. Eh. But i was just. Normally walking. Nothing intense ish. HOWEVER the road i walk on is weirdly shaped and its ever so slightly curved and goes up and down so. This is why im so sore! Im not kidding. Its not consistent 💔 (also smth said step length but it doesnt make sense. My step length is 15.4 - 30.3 and it didnt line up so. Eh. Also according to iphone i have no idea bc i dont measure every step i take!)
#j’s a bloody mess#Also nearly fucked my switch again!#Ok so my switch isnt a button one its manual (or whatever) so the bar to close it again/lock it#Moved from the left to center. Like i think theres a rib on the knife. IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN THIS WELL LOOK AT A SWITCH#and i dropped it. Bc i was spinning it but was completely fucking zoned out.#It seemed fine but i went to open if after a few mins (like 2) and sometimes if you dont do it hard enough#Its only like half way. (Haha sex joke) but when that happens i usually flick my wrist to open it fully#And i flicked it too hard and the bar went to the right side which it aint supposed to do!#I was havin a convo wirh myself about knife tricks and arguing that my switch is a fixed blade bc it locks before hand. And this mf (me)#Deadass said as soon as it did that “well i guess its a fixed blade now” LIKE MOTHERFUCKER YOURE PAYING 20$ FOR IT.#I got ir fixed. You kinda just have to. Press the bar back really hard. But yk. Not any less scary!#Also. 10.000 spesifically bc i want to surpase my father.#In this week his highest is just under 10.000 so. Also weirdly enough we have basically the same step length??#I say this bc. 1. My mother is wayyyyy too easy to beat. Unlovingly. 2. Im 15 while this man is 60???? He does have a faster speed tho#His was some ungodly like 2-3 mph while mines 1.1 - 2.9#One time my mother checked on life360 when he was broke down and it said he was driving 3 mph#And it was literally him fucking WALKING.#So yeah i want to beat my father in this made up competition! I want to be better than those i dislike. I have to be i have to be i have to

#nini’s nonsense#so i don’t really want to disappear on anyone and just to be clear. i am fine there’s nothing wrong with me personally but. life got fucked#real real fast and that’s why i’m leaving but. i’m doing a bi-weekly check in because the thing is. the moment those stop. you can all#unfortunately assume i’m not on this earth anymore#HA i feel insane typing that out but it is the truth of life atm so yeah uhm#this sounds so heavy and i mean. i guess it is. but yeah i also don’t want to just randomly disappear forever so this seems like the best#thing to do? sorry idrk how to deal with this yet so yeah.#maybe if everything turns to normal once more i’ll come back but i don’t see that happening anytime soon.#but yeah maybe. for now. i love you all dearly forever and always <3#does this need a trigger warning? idk lmk#anyways let me pin this.#also pls don’t worry too much! my life is just being. well my life i guess this had to happen at some point.#also see you sept 1st!! hopefully!!

OHhh that's fascinating I hadn't seen it like that! And Dark having the mission statement... I could imagine it could cause conflicts. You said Dark could make error sounds, right? What if they didn't really know they could access those until those codes were... conflicting? Until they were FEELING those errors building up. Though that's up to you knvxbmcbv
OHG YEAH!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THAT
it's probably insanely stressful to feel their code conflicting, especially since the mission prevention code is hard-coded into the virabots so the mission code can't really shove it out of the way-- it isn't really visible from the outside other than the fact that they start acting weird once it starts to get bad.
initially i think it'd just be like the hiccups though. mostly just annoying and uncomfortable
#tommy's foolery#chosen considers asking yellow to check in on the code somehow (which would already take a lot of preparation for obvious reasons)#but as soon as dark finds out they're considering that they immediately start causing as many problems as they can and also biting chosen#so chosen figures out that 'ah yeah i guess it wouldn't like someone poking around inside it's code'#dark has it under control.............. probably.#ava au#tommy's stickmen tag#dark transfer au#why does the tagging system only work on asks. the hell?#anyway. yeah

...BIG FEELS AND BIG PLOT DEVELOPMENTS AT THE END OF THAT BOOK, HUH
#Tyto reads WoF#i know it's not the most pressing issue what with the vengeful ex-Queen and the murderous sister and all#but I still want to point out how alarming it is that the new crew are all going to be wearing seemingly radioactive rocks as jewelry now#Turtle please don't pick up strange rocks that give off their own heat for the love of all that's good#ANYWAY yeah what the actual frick is going on with Darkstalker huh. I genuinely do NOT know whether he's trustworthy or not#desperately lonely and unfairly demonized? absolutely. truly cares about Moon as a friend? I think so.#capable of integrating peacefully into modern dragon society without letting his own ego turn him into the monster he denies ever being?#....... 😬 remains to be seen#god and there's Scarlet's mysterious new accomplice(?) with the maddeningly vague physical description and also THE SCROLL(!!!!)#and i just realized we failed to get resolutions in this book for EITHER the vision of Turtle attacking Anemone OR#Flame's unique and frightening ability to sense and/or attack mindreaders????#where the HECK are we going with Flame I am going lowkey INSANE over him#ugh frick and Umber and Sora are both on the run too...!! this book is nearly as cliffhangery as Dark Secret#(though thankfully i prepared for this by checking the next book out ahead of time so i wouldn't have to wait LOL)#uhh buhh final thoughts before i force myself to go to sleep:#I love Moon and everything going on with her but I do feel like on some level it's even more of a slap in the face for poor Starflight#that the only tribe to get multiple POV characters in this first. like. extended arc(?) appears to be the NightWings#and Starflight himself doesn't get any of the tribe's unique defining features or abilities#i mean i guess the same is sort of true of Sunny and yes i know it was the POINT of book 4 that the tribe had no powers#but still idk it just feels like kicking the poor boy when he's already down. in addition to him literally getting beaten up again#(... now watch me be a total fool and the arc actually extends past book 8 or something making this point moot lol)#(I'm only assuming it ends at 8 bc that's where the previews in the back of the previous books have stopped)#EDIT: LOL yep turns out this arc does extend out to book 10 and the other POVs are Turtle and Qibli so I stand corrected.#that's what I get for nightblogging

I snapped today at work, and by snapped I mean I politely commented on a help desk ticket by summing up an mess of an (type of) issue that's come up for at least the fourth time in the 2+ months I've been managing user accounts, and asked the person responsible to fix it (himself for once) because last time I fixed his mess-up it took me two whole days to work out the details with at least four other colleagues from different departments and I really don't want to do it again. there's other shit that needs doing, I've been working 10+ hour days for most of this week already, so I need to cut down not add on more.
(good thing tho - at least we managed to fix the issue where the dataset of a newer employee got mixed up with another one of the same name and therefore wasn't able to apply for any of the access/accounts she needed. technically not entirely my area but it does impact us not being allowed to create an account for her so I figured I might as well track that issue down. took three days and at least three other people, but hey - it should all work out now. yay for that)
#been feeling anxious af ever since bc it's the first time I've been this firm in a reply and idk how they'll take it#there's underlying issues in inter-departmental communication that need fixing that cause these issues to happen again and again#but my boss is on parental leave and his substitute is sick not that she cares or is up for doing her job where communication is concerned#so there's no real sense in addressing that rn esp by me who's only been there since June. but it does frustrate me a lot#anyway. I'm sure I'll get over this too. but yeah.. ppl not thinking things through for the two mins it takes to create an account#or the twenty seconds it takes to check if one already exists before creating a new one#or the minute it takes to check if folks still have an active contract past their time working in your department before deleting an accoun#just jfc. put in a smidge of effort and five mins total and save the rest of us from spending half a day to fix your mistake#oh well. if I get a pissy response I'll just blame it on being new as an intern and being too motivated and idealistic I guess#god forbid I expect people to do their jobs thoroughly or with at least a singular thought..#anyway. I feel like I'm allowed to be grumpy abt this since we are the folks who end up having to fix this shit#and by we I mean pretty much mostly me at this point bc one colleague is sick atm. my boss barely has time for this and is on leave#and my other colleague only works half time so I'm the one who's been handling most of these over the past month or so#which.. is still insane considering how I'm a goddamn intern who shouldn't even have admin rights tbh#but without them I couldn't do anything at all lol so here I am. nice that they trust and believe in me I suppose#that's why I try to do my best. (who am I kidding that's always the case anyway)#but yeah. definitely a 50% staff support job and only 50% of the other important things that need doing rn it's more like 90/10#and it's funny how I still dread my two hours of hotline. but every time the line is too busy I still jump in#we are also only 6 people atm out of 10 and three of us are still in training. and one of the trained folks had to come back in mid time of#next week we'll likely be 4#depending on if our substitute boss lady is back.. not that I'd look forward to it. she's a mess and she's been horrible to deal with latel#sure. she's stressed. but she's either snapping at me when I ask abt shit I can't know yet or she's ignoring me. great basis for team work.#so honestly I'd rather she not return on Monday. esp not if she's gonna spread her germs everywhere#but now sleep. sorry for the rant. it's certainly been quite the month since I returned from my own wisdom tooth rated sick leave..#gotta be up again in 6.5 hrs so I can be at work at 6 to let the electrician in. I'm gonna sleep so hard over the weekend I stg#a day in the life of..

I love the genre of (usually male) engineers who know they’re smart and think that makes them magically experts on everything. Homeskillet, you’re a mechanical engineer and programmer who isn’t even really good at either, and you’re attempting to tell me (the team’s electronics gal) and our EE about quadrature encoders. You’re just wrong but you won’t let me get a word in edgewise. I have been staring at our wiring diagram til my eyes bleed and I have done six other projects with similar motors. Shut the actual fuck up.
#At least it’s not misogyny? He does it to the other guy on the team too!#He also didn’t finish his sections of the system dev & design doc until six in the fucking morning#Dude your section was just to reformat a table I made a month ago#Ooooooooh and new pet peeve unlocked:#When something doesn’t work and we gotta poke it and figure out why just saying “I don’t wanna” when I tell you to check for shorts#What do you mean you don’t wanna#Yeah me either but guess fucking what?#Our fucked up power regulator doesn’t give a shit if you wanna investigate!#Anyways we’ll see if I manage not to throttle this bastard before the project is through

Sorry the worms activated... teehee...



They only properly co-starred in Bali Big Brother but they did interact in Princess Toyotomi in the form of. Matsudaira eating his takoyaki or whatever lol; aside from that I have a Tamaki-led show rec for when you get closer to Lost Judgment since I'm pretty sure there are tons of references to it
Anyway I liked Soma a lot :) I will let you see for yourself LMAO but I can say his inclusion was interesting for the setting, since Soma basically occupies the same role Jo would've as the Tokyo Omi chairman 'cause his gang consists of stragglers from the dissolution... so it just gets me thinking how well Jo would've done in his place...
THE LOUDEST TEEHEE EVER and they co-stared... once....
oh but i love show recs:)) As I Have Proven :) WAHH maybe ill go the city over sometime this month and see if they got judgement in the game store there..
i cant say i have any impression on soma but i mea Fair Nuff i dont exactly follow people who post bout judgement nor have i really spoiled myself on anythin bout it (╯▽╰ ) at the very least that gets me interested in what his business is :]]]
#snap chats#i remember his name so easily cause everytime i think of 'soma' i just remember Brave New World WHICH. lowkey fave book of mine..#but teehee future show recs omg....#O BUT YEAH I LOVED HIM IN WotH SO IM STOKED TO SEE HIM MORE#honestly i had to check my bank account today for Reasons and i had more money than i thought i did oops#im generally good at keeping track of what goes in and out but i guess i just missed a couple dollars SOOOO#maybe judgement in the near future.... <- just remembered gaiden and the rgg plushies and school books.. and other shit#ok semi-near future.... or i can just bully one of my sibs to get it for me for christmas or my bday idk ANYWAY.#omg wait ttm DOES own a suit color other than black... epic....#ok im gonna go eat all the mango pudding in my fridge and think about buying snacks from 7/11 but ultimately wont bye#oh wait i should get eggs.... i want tamago..
