Can crows feel love the same way humans do, does Monty know what happened to him? Or can he not fully understand the weight of what he has been through because of how much more complex human emotions and reactions are than those of a little bird? Does Monty know that he loved someone.. does he know I love him? :(
#monty the crow#all those emotions and memories and experiences shoved into a little bird like those vaccum sealed mattreses you get in those boxes#thats not supposed to fit :(#i hope he knows that i love him#coin rambles#dead boy detectives#i understand that like#he remembers but to what extenct yk#does his little crow brain just think “this person is good i need to help” when he helped charles#does he think “this person is good i need to make myself known” when he was checking on edwin“#does he know why he thinks that#DOES HE KNO#okay

No witchy Wednesday this week. Life decided NO.
#Mr kdnfb made me socialize two days in a row this weekend#bah humbug#it was fun but man did I crash on Sunday night#sick child#broken shit in the house leading to hurricane season is not a good idea#took a golf ball sized rock to my windshield#so that was fun#both my kids are now done with school for the summer#which means they’re already bored#and one of them is learning to drive#and he’s doing fine but it’s still a little stressful for me 😬#and of course the job search decided this week would be#feast time where we’re all these jobs six months ago?!?!?#so I’ve been applying to those which takes time#instead of working on my fics#also I might be headed back to a library#not the same one but in the same county cooperative#so my former coworkers gave me the stink eye when I asked them for references#now if I can just get a freaking interview….#but I’m qualified for those jobs#like recently have experience#and if I can just get SOMETHING#it buys me time to do internships#or crap editing or writing jobs to check that experience box#on my resume

*scratching at the walls thinking about how no one has adapted Peter’s college arcs in a consistent and satisfying way.*
#coffee bean gang#spider-man#I was almost asleep but now I’m thinking about how there isn’t one piece of media out there that checks all the boxes#of adapting Peter in college + the coffee bean gang + doesn’t downsize the group or combine characters#+ does everyone in a decent way even if it’s not strictly comic accurate#raimi trilogy is one of the only ones that heads pretty quickly into the college era and also involves more than just gwen or mj#and as much as I like the films it does not handle the three of them in a way that scratches the itch for me#I mean for one it’s only Peter Harry and MJ. I like those three arguably the most but man the dynamic isn’t the same#especially bc Tobey’s Peter is much more serious and quiet/awkward with negative charisma (affectionately but still.)#MJ is mixed w Gwen’s personality which was disappointing to me bc I like MJ’s weird and super vibrant personality#and Harry loses some of the ‘kind of a sweet guy but very VERY fucked up’ and relies too heavily on Harry becoming the goblin for revenge#I sound super critical of the Raimi versions qhwjrjwkr I DO like them I do but it feels like completely alternate interps of the characters#most focus on spider-man’s origin which I totally get but also. Peter’s most interesting arcs happen in college#that’s why everyone has to adapt them into the high school years#(which they can do bc Peter was largely friendless during that time and was still fighting some truly d-tier guys#in between the forming of the famous spidey rogue gallery)#I mean I wouldn’t even complain if they chose to do the high school years and actually DID those instead of pasting the college arcs on it#I haven’t watch the 90s show but I want to— does Harry exist in that one bc I know they took out Gwen#at the risk of sounding like That kind of tssm fan. the closest we got to that dream was that show#bc they WERE gonna follow it into Peter’s college years and you could see them setting the gang up#it still fell into the ‘everyone is a childhood friend’ thing so the characters could all be there but it’s one of the most bearable ones

The rise of "let people enjoy things" is single handedly the backbone of the rise of anti intellectualism
#i need to talk about this#disclaimer : im beyond terrible at putting my point across#so with that being said let me attempt at it#let's take look at the hate and misogyny women receive for liking a certain genre of books#that is so often simply countered with let people enjoy things#but we cannot let that narrative take over a whole as if critical thinking is “bad”?#booktok has made it so that disliking a popular books makes you the person with the superiority complex who should just let people enjoy-#-things#but when did criticizing actively target audiences who like that peice of literature? When did that become the narrative?#its all mindless consumption without a second thought to the actual material which can easily be credited to the tropification of books#the enemies do turn into lovers and the best friends do fall in love 10 years down the line#classifying books into tropes and then fulfilling that promise gives books an illusion of being “good” since it checks those boxes-#-that the reader picked up the book for in the first place#the act of reading has kind of been substituted by the act of being a reader and just owning stacks of books#we have turned away from any form of analysis or criticism#if it scratches the itch then its automatically the perfect book without further thought#i cant help but contribute the mere existence of that “itch” to how mordern books are classified into tropes with set plotlines#intelligenctualism is almost always looked at as elitism#reading only classics doesn't make you an intellectual individual but looking at any book with a critical lens may it be a classic or a rom#-com does#criticizing certain aspects of your absolute favorite books is intellectualism and not bullying people who like anything but classics#that distinction is so far lost in translation that talking about how a popular book is objectively bad is being a “hater”#well then im a hater#this is not a hate post for people who actively enjoy booktock or the more popular books#im just trying to introduce any amount of nuance into the conversation thats all#i can honestly go on forever but i think ill end my ranting here#literary criticism#literature#books#anti intellectualism

begging people to realize that the back warehouse of a grocery store is not a second, secret grocery store that has everything you need plus some extra secret items the first grocery store does not have
#look it probably varies from store to store#but at least where i work the back is a fucking mess.#like. you're imagining neat tidy shelves and specific sections for each product#that is not what the back is. it's a disorganized hellhole with every type of product piled haphazardly on top of each other#wheelers lying around with the most random items.#you have to understand that if a grocery worker were to 'check in the back' for something#it would likely take 10ish minutes if it WAS there.#and like. stuff like produce isn't just going to be kept in boxes in the back either. or meat or seafood.#if they have sellable meat or produce they're not just going to stick it in some deep freezer in the back#and wait for it to become two days away from unsellable before they bring it out.#with those departments especially if they have something you want it is going to be on display#and if it's not they don't have it.#stuff like soda is a bit easier to find usually#but even then there's so many different brands all piled together in crates on the same wheeler#not even opened#and i hate to say it but most grocery workers honestly just have more important things to do#than go rooting around like truffle pigs in the back for the stuff you want.#they might be doing price change or they might be stocking a new product#or they might be trying to fill a central display case#or they might be filling an online shopping order and thus on a time crunch#and even if none of those are the case a grocery worker can get called away to a different task on a dime.#they can't just drop everything to hunt in the back for whatever fucking granola bars you want so bad.#absolutely we can tell you where things are#and we can recommend alternatives to out of stock items. sure. but you'll only be wasting your time and ours#if you ask us to check for something in the back.

So I hit my 700th edit for the WHA wiki today, because I am a totally normal person
#For the record I have been there for. 27 days.#That makes an average of 26 edits a day which is even more terrifying because I definitely was not updating every day#Also this is for the Telepedia Wiki not the Fandom one#Anyway you should check it out!#In maybe a week because the website cache is super slow for some reason when you're not logged in#But I'm having fun#The nice thing about working on a wiki where there's actually other people doing stuff#Is that they can do the boring stuff like character bios and etc while I run around doing the fun stuff like pages on animals and plants#Anyway I was working on the Eldroxen page which are the big fluffy ox from the Silver Eve Procession#And it was so funny collecting info on them from the main series and then checking Kitchen real quick and SURPRISE! THEY'RE EATING IT!#I mean I should have expected this after having watched Dungeon Meshi and yet~~~#Also funny was that I copy+pasted the page coding for one the (food) animals as a template for this giant Mole-worm beast page but#forgot to remove the line about it being for food and afterwards had a laugh and then removed it#But now I'm like. They probably WOULD eat that sucker. Giant mole worm/snake/dragon thing? That'd feed a whole town!#Qifrey could have an entire audience watching how he'd prepare and season it#Anyway if you've been wondering where I've been that's it#Also funny story: during the Covid pandemic I stayed employed when my coworkers got let go because they needed me to catalogue an entire#new set of guided reading books; and have these sets have a digital checkout instead of the old-school card catalog we were literally still#using in 2020. Anyway I went all out with the organization of the books and the boxes and even made a reference binder for the books#via subject so teachers/tutors could find specific subjects and reading levels etc#(I'd have done a digital way to search for results but honestly half the teachers couldn't figure out how to sign in to the laptop. So.)#Anyway. Only a handful of teachers actually used these books and two years later the school switched to a new reading program#that came with its own set of books and lessons so this 10k reading set was essentially unneeded (and my dear coworkers never got rehired)#Anyway I learned last week that they're clearing out that room and all of those barely-used books are getting thrown out 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃#Isn't that funny#Literally everything is just sandcastles built in the surf#I'm so glad I already accepted this during my pumpkin carving years because otherwise I think I'd be upset#Anyway I'm gonna go play my spooky fishing game

its funny that i got into building and designing a website n such after i switched from 'digital creative' (with the intention of becoming a web designer) to compsci at college. i know deep down thats for the best bc id never find people who actually understand the artistic side of designing a website n all that but part of me wishes i wasnt so constrained by the personal website format.. theres only so much you can do with a landing page thats supposed to have the same boxes in a single screen so the user doesnt need to scroll to get updates n such. plus i dont even have that much to show and present differently anyways. sigh
look at this. fucking gorgeous as hell. i dont even have enough info to fill a single content box in a layout like this. god
#thinking about it you dont reeeeally need to have all the boxes on one screen i guess?#like if youre a returning visitor ur not gonna read the welcome box again and the chatbox can be tucked a bit to the side#but the updates featured and latest art ones id like to appear in the site preview at least. spark some inchrest u kno.. on my thangs#im a bit bound to the thumbnail system in neocities too tbh. personally i dont have as much motivation to check if a site updated>#>when i cant tell from the thumbnail as when it does have an obvious change in the thumb#and in some websites the things that actually would look interesting to you.. if theyre on the bottom of the page and not in the thumb?#well im gonna miss it! half the discoverability of websites is aesthetics alone and then the content if u Happen to click to see the site#i also STILL miss my old layouts. i wanna deviate from the celestial theme but idk i dont feel as attached to other themes#celestial is the one that i instantly go THATS ME!! and others are like 'i love this paletteand style' but thats not the same as recognizin#>urself in it. if i dont see myself in my own goddamn website then whats the point..#like. the monochrome black white + yellow theme i have on tumblr rn? i associate buildings and architecture with it. modernism.#and so i use this theme bc i like it. but i dont associate it with me. i associate it with those things. i like it but it doesnt relate>#>to me. or whatever fragment of an identity i think i have. so i end up feeling unattached to the website..#its like if u had a fancy prosthetic. u like it! u use it! but its not really you.. can anyone hear me. anyone at all#dextxt

if i ever finish my one 5 times fic about owen in dresses its OVAH
#him wearing his girlfriend's skirts as a teenager for fun bc theyre rebellious young punks n theyre cool like that#but also bc his mother scowls at him when he comes home in smudged eyeliner so he might as well go the full mile and rlly piss her off#but then it's not just about spite. cuz he likes it. he feels good n free n pretty like that#until she kicks him out not long after and he has to grow up fast and before he knows it hes in a too-big suit with a pretty fiancee#and yeah thats fine right that's good thats what hes supposed to do. he's checked the boxes hes a successful Man#rebellious teen phases are fun but his mum pegged him as a fuck up and a queer and he's gonna show her he's neither of those things#but then katie dies and it all stops mattering and why should he give a fuck what his mother thinks?#he's never gonna be happy the 'normal' way anyway#anyway. the fic is basically owen unlearning his internalized toxic masculine nonsense by aggressively doing opposite action#as he is wont to do#'wow i hate my inner femininity! i am going to wear a dress in public 👍'#there's a scene where him n gwen recreate the lesbian makeup photo heh#and also my owen/andy agenda crept into the damn thing#ill finish it eventually fdhsfkjd#txt#sss

grrr.... my boss came in and asked to talk to me for a moment and basically she was asking how I distinguish between production stock/my stock bc the stock/supply staff had insinuated to her that I'd been stealing their stock which I HAVEN'T!!!! I would never + my boss knows that but she still had to ask.... so annoying
#and i have PROOF i dont steal their shit bc i keep a meticulous spreadsheet of every sample in the food lab (my) stock#and i organise everything by location + have a separate section for stuff in the cold room that belongs to production#bc part of my job is managing emails from sales/marketing asking abt the production stock for test/developmental products#so i have to monitor it. but i dont ever ise those samples i fill out and email the request form to supply if i need one for smth!!!#*use#which supply would fucking know if they were competent at their jobs and fulfilled my requests without me chasing them up 16 times#half the time i have to go to quality control and request THEIR retained samples instead bc i dont get stuff in time#but qc stock is completely isolated from production bc its for assay use only and i always return the samples to them when im done anyway#the only reason theyre accusing me is bc they found a sample in one of my fridges that was logged on their stock system#but I DIDNT PUT IT THERE. THEY DID. i sent the fucking request form and they fulfilled it but didnt log it out of their own stock system#but i have their stupid form attached to a timestamped email i sent them so proof it was a legit request they fulfilled 👍#whatever......#im mainly just annoyed bc for some reason i thought it was almost 4pm and i could go home soon. but its only 2:30 sigh#at least my boss was impressed at my stock spreadsheet lmao she was like wow i didnt realise you were this organised#girl how do u think i respond so fast when u ask if we have xyz sample. of course im not going thru 400+ individual samples in multiple-#locations and boxes/fridges every single time just to find ONE thing. all i have to do is check my spreadsheet.....#i record batch numbers n manufacture/expiry dates of everything too they can go thru it if they doubt smth is mine lmao#i hate being blamed for shit i didnt do especially accusations of dishonesty. im not that shit at my job >:^/#.diaries

"i just dont understand how a sane person could think of this" in response to a perfectly cute little piece based on a silly little image. i am attacking people with hammers
#shit like that sorta hits close to home i literally got called mentally unwell for similar stuff like having anthro cat ocs#bc ''if you were normal you wouldn't think of that stuff you'd think of normal kid stuff''#its soul sucking. i know thats a lot but its genuinely crushing.#its such an anti art attitude. only ever create things that are comfortable to the masses and fit within every single norm#never think outside of the box. even for silly things like a dog ponyo reference. thats Too Much. kill it. no human could do it.#it reminds me of when my aunt sought out my fanfic . net profile when i was in middle school with my pokemon and wc fics#and she made sure to loudly make fun of it at a party and talk about how it ''made her want to vomit'' bc it was so weird#and i needed to be checked out bc no normal kid would act like me. and that indirectly led to me deleting the entire account#bc i felt like a genuine fucking freak. it made me feel so insecure abt my art it made me so anxious to create#to this day i struggle with posting my writing specifically beyond stray ideas bc im worried itll pick up and people will say im a freak#and basically prove them all right#its a mindset im still trying to break down and its something my moms at least apologized for and im STILL affected by it so deeply#so it pisses me off so bad to see it repeated online even as a joke. especially when its used to harass people.#i feel like i need to tone myself down and make palatable art. but to some people that means the tamest shit ever like no anthro dogs#the only art allowed to exist to these people are those fucking eye doodles you make in math class and even thats a stretch

i need everyone to understand that this is literally one of my favourite things ever
a lot of people seem to be really conscious about not wanting to bother anyone on here (and i understand) but you need to know that this is what creators want. reblog the stuff you like. put in the tags how much you like the stuff. reblog the stuff again bc you like it so much.
treat your blog like a scrapbook and the posts you like as the stickers to decorate it with. and if you have a sticker you fancy twice, isn’t that just super lucky? put it on there again so other people can look at it and think “wow, that’s a neat sticker, i want that for my scrapbook too”
and here’s a pro tip: if there are stickers you really want to use but they don’t fit the aesthetic of the scrapbook you’re working on, just get a new one. you can have as many as you like (i know you like hoarding them)
anyway, weird analogy aside, the chance of bothering someone with nice tags is like pretty close to zero, it’s more likely to make someone smile like an idiot :]
(honestly, these tags made me smile so much. you liked my take so much you put it in your scrap book twice? medal of honour right there)
#┊glimpse into the crystal ball ೃ༄#my contribution to the rekindled discourse of dying interactions#nobody’s going to judge you for a decorated scrap book#nobody’s going to judge you for a blog with all your favourite posts on it#actually people will judge you for an empty blog#makes me want to put up one of those ‘are you human’ check boxes where i ask you to identify a streetlight
