i fear i am endlessly predictable (writing new dps au which is once again fantasy with Arthurian elements)
#it's an au of the dark is rising sequence by susan cooper#(which is to say it's based mostly off of over sea under stone and the dark is rising - with hints of the grey king running through)#and also to say that really i just wanted to write an homage to a very specific genre of british children's fantasy fiction#that i grew up reading voraciously + which shaped my proclivities and tastes for literature extensively. the little white horse au also#matched this but unfortunately that one is creeping towards the unfinished wips every day#not to get into an abundance of tags but this au revolves around: todd + charlie + meeks as kids and friends on holiday together#and going on a quest to find the grail. which gets sidetracked by keating (charlie's mysterious magical great-uncle) and also#todd gaining supernatural abilities far beyond those a thirteen-year-old boy can reckon with. rip. you know how it is#i think i was just really interested in the way cooper writes will stanton he has such a brilliant. canniness to him#which i suppose is the point after he becomes an old one. anyway! enough waffling in tags!#tristan writes#dps#dead poets society#dps fandom#dps fanfiction#dead poets society fanfiction#no anderperry because they're all kids so no romantic relationships per se (other than in that teenager way -#and also they have like. the world to save and evil to defeat lol)#but neil is here and supernatural and also fun to write. there's a certain cadence#and i like leaning into a more ominous side of him especially when he's so young in this au it's really funny#strangely ethereal looking thirteen-year-old child tells you in his prepubescent voice that the Dark shall reclaim the Light in a#fierce and savage hunt known to history but the likes of which the huntsman has never seen over rushing water.#and you just kind of have to sit there and deal with that#SORRY THESE TAGS GOT VERY LONG I REALLY LIKE THIS AU

decided to play the heirs of fate dlc this weekend (ive been meaning to for awhile; admittedly my knowledge of it all comes from browsing the wiki, and i really wanted to experience the anankos characterization for myself). this isn't even the part i was excited to get to BUT I AM REELING OVER IT..........FOR REASONS I WILL DISCLOSE IN THE TAGS (from part iv: light's sacrifice)
#during shigure's explanation about why there's gaps in the kids' memories my brain IMMEDIATELY flipped to krad's post about whether --#gunter actually remembers how much he loved his family/is the revenge really for them or is it more so for his own satisfaction --#and like. OH MY GOD. IS IT NOT SO UTTERLY CRUEL THAT PERHAPS THE TRANSITION OF HIS REVENGE BEING FOR THEM ---> BEING SO FOR HIM WAS IN --#FACT BY ANANKOS' DESIGN ALL ALONG RATHER THAN JUST AN UNFORTUNATE SIDE EFFECT OF THE POSSESSION..........#gunter honey you may have been more under his thrall than you realized#this would totally align with how he's only able to tell corrin about his family once he's free from the possession. cuz anankos is no --#longer deliberately stealing his memories to make him more willing to act on his behalf.......ough........#of course i still think gunter purposefully indulged in that power from anankos.......latching onto it as an opportunity to exact his --#revenge without really being aware of all the consequences that would coincidence along with that#and of course this is just a lil tidbit for my own self insert lore but if anankos stealing memories is a thing he purposefully does to --#make his victims more malleable that would explain why he would not remember his time in askr or leigh upon returning to the world of --#revelation :''''') and perhaps it would slowly come back to him post game#teehee. having many thoughts. brain exploding. typical behaviour.#once again fates storytelling is fucking exceptional like is it not brilliant that the degenerating dragon who has lived among his people -#far longer than one likely should. and has been scorn by those ppl he so loved as now their memories of him are only full of fear and --#hatred. ends up stealing people's memories to make them more useful in his plan to destroy the world. much like how his own memories have -#been lost to time. and he is a victim to time just like anybody else. OUGH AAAAA MY HEART MY BRAIN IM SO SAD ABOUT FATES AGAIN.#anyways i still gotta play part 5 of the dlc but im saving that for either tonight or tmrw

ableism is a disease my goddd
#harping on#genuinely if my mum would just admit my brother has dyslexia and accept a diagnosis#Instead of giving him all these exceptions and extra teaching time and pulling him out of classes w/o telling him why#It might actually help him to want to do better instead of just feeling embarrassed and separate from everyone else#And he’s got his own things he’s brilliant at but he can’t pursue those if he doesn’t use these resources to leave school w ok grades#But he doesn’t understand why he needs help and it just ends up cancelling it all out and permeating him with defeatism and procrastination#Let’s not even talk about the ADHD possibility which nobody is ready to hear. God knows that doesn’t help him feel like other kids either#My parents truly have two children on either end of the spectrum of academia and neither are very healthy

o|<
#the director even told me to not worry about missing training because of school - that we could make things work#TvT#rays random ramblings#I got to talk a little about what made me uncomfortable last summer - not all of it because i couldn't find the right words in the moment#but some of it! which was nice#the general consensus is that I need to communicate more and be more transparent when I don't understand something#WHICH TRUEEEEE#and I need to not feel guilty about asking those questions but the ad-staff in turn need to work on like#i dunno I feel judged!!! it's not just me!!!#the ad-staff could be more reciprocative and we're all stressed and it's scary#but anyways#I have a job at camp TvT#yippee!!!!#she asked me what I think went well last summer#and I completely blanked#man I should have talked about my anxiety camper!!!!#I helped anxiety camper get through it! we were buds!#she had it rough the whole week but it did get better as time went on#the staff and I and a brilliant CIT helped her through it and I'm really proud of that#really proud of the kid too

yes I'm on episode three yes I'm already fuming
#just start S1 of tTUK#annnnnd I do not like how John and Theo behaved like sulky bullies#I knew Imran wasn't going to last long bc he's one of those brilliant bookish kids who is fast-tracked and gets the academic achievements#but then is behind in their social skills development#and that was always gonna bite him in the ass#I don't know why Theo was so immediately against Imran#except maybe a reactionary thing to seeing this kid who tbh looks pretty sheltered#Theo was giving the best defense is a good offense but with zero apparent motivation?#like he expected Imran to come for him so went for Imran first?#and John#just fuck John honestly#the vibes are that gay guy who is also the biggest misogynist you know#like absolutely disgusted by women#appalled that they exist#and idk I guess seething at Aaron for being a fit straight guy#like also his throwaway comment to Tom asking if he's being blinded by his straightness bc Alex is pretty#like jesus imagine if anyone asked him if HE might be being biased in how he behaves towards the handsome men#John could dish it out but I don't think he could take it#The Traitors#spoilers#The Traitors UK

NOPE NOT DONE TALKING ABOUT IT
So generations pass, the Kindred are all but extinct, humans have spread to every habitable corner of the world, and now the human nations are struggling with the issues that come from overpopulation and the presence of a substance that can do Anything in high enough quantities.
In most places aether is a controlled substance, doled out by their respective governments according to the rules of that society. In some places it's considered a basic need, in others a luxury, in others a dangerous drug. In almost all cases, it's been diluted and is in such small quantities that magic of the past is assumed to be the stuff of fairy tales.
This timeline mostly centers around the city of Augustine, where aether is under the strict control of an agency which accepts applications for its distribution. If a person's application is appealing enough, they can be granted massive amounts of aether, more than most people could acquire in other places in the world. Accepted applications tend to be things in the realm of "ways to better society," such as medicine, agriculture, and so on.
Although the city is prosperous, there is a dark underbelly to the agency overseeing its aether, as well as the man in charge of it...
#chi chimes in#I like the Augustine timeline because it's more about the fucked up things people would do#to get their hands on something that they think will do Miracles for them#and in some cases. getting those miracles and realizing their desperation has poisoned everything#like there's a brilliant doctor who's daughter dies so she petitions for aether for “cognitive modification experiments”#but she's really trying to reanimate her dead kid and essentially write enough scripts through aether to create consciousness#it fails horribly and is her worst nightmare because her child is “killed” again#and then the dude in charge of aether is like “so that was messed up. anyway come work for me

A RANT WARNING!!! KIND OF SUGGESTION THROWN INTO THE WIND BC THEY'LL NEVER READ THIS
I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel like we could benefit from another ExU Calamity shaped hiatus to the main campaign.
I'll say the episodes around it were some of my favorites (the whole hellcatch valley arc plus Yu) and they picked it up with an air of freshness after the whole intensity from Calamity.
Candela happens in parallel and it has the bit of pressure of introducing/marketing the system so idk if it's really something to loosen up the players (not saying I don't enjoy it tho).
I'm thinking something in-universe but different characters without the pressure of a long story yet not too brief like a one-shot, exploring past lore that may or may not become relevant later on.
I just feel, and this might be just a me thing, like some aspects have begun growing heavy and repetitive. The personal arcs like scratched cds, fcg and imogen and orym feel a bit washed in sauce, so much of the same VM characters, everyone so down and hopeless even though we're about to reach a peak in the narrative. There's so many cool characters and places from this campaign to go back to and we just never do.
And a pause might let Matt and the players rest and look at the bigger picture/arc, and might allow some of those repetitive squabbles cool down into more interesting perspectives.
#all that being said#i did enjoy the last episode. feywild broke the stillness. ashton breaking was a great break in the monotony#same with when the party split after the malleus key#but the last few since they rejoined have been a drag for me#I've been skipping a few episodes knowing just the gist of it bc doesn't feel like anything's happening#the VM characters are nice but like... where are the actual fun kids?#and it's an enhanced experience if you have a nostalgia for all those place in c1#i personally don't so you can imagine my experience#i just think they could benefit from it idk just my two cents#I'd love to revisit the crown keepers. or maybe pay Aeor a visit in its prime way before calamity#the emancipation of the aeormatons would be fun. maybe something with dragons. maybe primitive exandria#idk matt probably has a billion brilliant ideas and people he'd love to have play with the world#critical role#cw rant#cr stuff#bells hells

it really is a bummer when you see another translation of a work you've enjoyed translated to your language -- as a kid or recently -- and all the stuff that was translated/localized in your language is... kept as it was (usually in english) in that other translation
#shrimp thoughts#i only read one (1) earthsea book as a school reading but i stumbled upon a post w/ korean covers and. 어스시? are you for REAL#the same in japanese. アースシー. and then you have all those european languages choosing to simply... yknow... translate the very simple word#it's translated to 地海 in chinese! it's not like it's impossible!#it's particularly baffling when the books are aimed at kids like idk fucking. harry potter because those kids DON'T know english#they don't know that some things are puns! and when it comes to harry potter almost EVERYTHING is a fucking pun#there's a website that compiles stuff about the mainland chinese/taiwanese/japanese/vietnamese translations of hp and while#sometimes the jpn translator is brilliant they often just... drop the ball completely. like yeah japanese media is already chock full of#(bad) english but i just don't understand the choice to keep things as utter gibberish that doesn't tell the reader anything aside from#“this is a foreign word”. just. ugh. do you even like your native language or not#the section about the exam names (OWLs and NEWTs) is just. embarrassing#like oh yeah just adapt OWLs and NEWTs and place ふくろう and いもり above. totally makes sense 10/10#the polish translation was def not flawless but you can't say the translator didn't try!

Kevin Kline was excellent though, so good in comparison to everyone else (*coughs* Roxane *coughs*) that at a certain point (*coughs* Roxane in the balcony *coughs*) he seemed to have fallen into this production from a different one with better actors. Despite the choice of making his Cyrano overly funny, which I imagine wasn't Kline's or not entirely given everyone in the play was trying to be funny (Roxane was ridiculously exaggerated, but this Le Bret in particular made no sense as a character imo?), I quite liked his performance.
#I'm not sure about him crying in the balcony scene given how important thematically that is‚ but he was so good in that scene#while Roxane was telling her lines with less nuance and sincere emotion than kids in their school plays#Besides‚ they also didn't include the part about never crying to avoid staining the divinity of tears with his ugly nose iirc so...#I guess I can be okayish with the choice despite how later on the tear on the letter and the fact that Cyrano cried#will hit Christian nonetheless. By the way‚ although I didn't like the acting much and especially not the choice of making it come off#as funny or ridiculous‚ I actually really liked the idea of Christian being deeply moved by Cyrano's lines in the balcony scene#I found more romantic tension between them here than in the McAvoy version xD#Probably more than in any other version I've watched for now in fact. I think the actor wasn't bad when he was given the choice#to be serious about the role. I was never mad for him but I liked him enough in their last scene together when they discuss telling Roxane#I talk too much#I should probably delete this later#Cyrano de Bergerac#Anyway yes...#Although I was not entirely content with some of the choices in mood‚ Kevin Kline was fantastic#and I think this version was brilliant in some regards#For instance the staging was beautiful#It also is the only version I've watched thus far that has Carbon de Castel-Jaloux asking for Roxane's handkerchief to use as flag#and then Cyrano holding the lance it hanged from when charging against the enemy#I love those details so I really appreciate it. I liked what we got to see of the cadets too for instance#I love what we see of them with Cyrano‚ with Carbon de Castel-Jaloux and with Roxane in that last scene#And I love the costumes. I think this production has my favourite costumes for now#Including the Depardieu one which gets a good name but that I actually don't like much aesthetically#and including the Solès one too even though that beautiful red costume Roxane has weights on its own almost like an entire set of costumes
