My kid's class is on their Middle Ages history unit right now, so naturally I volunteered to give a short talk and demonstration on medieval spinning and weaving. (In full garb of course...one thing about me, I don't do stuff halfway lol).
If this novelist thing doesn't pan out maybe I can fall back on the equally lucrative career of reenactor lol.
#With some training of course lol#My period accent is still shit so I didn't even try it#Making a fool of myself in front of 40 nine year olds#But it's worth it if they learned something and remember it#Medieval spinning#spinning wool#Spinning and weaving#reenactment#early medieval#medieval costume

I know the shen yuan being a PIDW fanartist headcanon is already niche enough but since I've been listening to so much brony eurobeat I'm thinking... Fan musician Shen Yuan.. thinking well he might as well use the violin + piano skills from the lessons his parents made him take when he was a kid, plus all of the shitty character playlists with death metal and shit on the PIDW forums are so inaccurate to the story, clearly Binghe would have a much more elegant and refined sound to his character, and of course the lyrics to his character song would be similarly poetic and so romantic and
Yeah he ends up making the most crushingly beautiful romance ballad as a Binghe character song to post on the PIDW forums. And who's to say if it also ends up in his and binghe's wedding later down the line. There's no proof of that
#alternatively i think he would be into eurobeat#tho the adjusting to qjp does scream classically trained and of course being asian#either violin or piano or both.. maybe he also learns flute to make white lotus bunhe songs#i imagine his bunhe songs would be high and soft woodwind heavy eventually deepening out to strings as an adult#svsss#shen yuan#maybe he could also make eurobeat remixes kf these tho#a la original discord having crazy pipe organ instrumentals

oh ho ho au where there’s been a brutal murder and all signs point towards anakin being guilty….but during the trial prep work, obi-wan, not on trial at all btw, confesses to the murder.
the prosecution knows he didn’t do it, but his dna is at the scene, there’s security photos of him close by the murder scene, there’s enough circumstantial evidence that it makes it incredibly hard to prove that he didn’t do it. there’s a ton of evidence to prove that anakin did it, but there’s also not a small amount of evidence that obi-wan did it which makes it really difficult
(anakin definitely definitely did it. but obi-wan feels an incredible amount of both guilt for the loss of life at the hands of a boy who he has vouched for so ardently in the past and also a fervent and insane devotion to anakin, and he can’t let him suffer for his crime when obi-wan could suffer for his crime instead <3 that’s the way things should be)
(anakin would snap out of his stunned stupor and tell the judge and jury that obi-wan is innocent and he’s the actual murderer, but like. it’s really hot. it’s like really hot that obi-wan’s going to give his freedom away so that anakin can live untroubled. no one’s ever loved him so much, not even the devoted wife of his sitting in the audience. this is different. this is everything. this is like. breathtaking.)
#Kit’s silly lil AUs#obikin#im imagining this in a gffa setting#the chancellor has been killed by anakin#but way before anyone thinks the chancellor is a bad guy#or corrupt#so it’s like a crime crime#and obi-wan is like no that’s my padawan if he learned how to (checks notes) brutalize a persons skull with a paper weight then#I taught him that#so he confesses and uses their training bond to pull all the details and story from anakins mind#without anyone knowing#anyway of course obi-wan is sentenced and anakin breaks him out and they go live amongst the stars#as fugitives#and it’s pretty easy to convince obi-wan into bed with anakin when they’re both fugitives#like he already gave his freedom up for his padawan#what’s his body compared to that?#what’s his heart?

having given it some more thought, i do think the question isn't how did the spring maiden die, but rather when she died; that there isn't going to be a twist and what raven said about killing her is true.
and that's because raven isn't really the type of person to take responsibility for something she didn't do. if anything, she's the opposite: when qrow questioned her about the level of damage in shion, she had an excuse about the grimm setting in quicker than expected ready to go.
yang even gives raven "outs"—"did she die in battle? was it sickness?"—and instead of taking either of those outs, her reply is evasive: "what does it matter to you?"
like. . . if the spring maiden was part of summer's mission and she died during it, i see no reason for why it wouldn't be considered as "dying during battle"—especially if a battle did take place, no matter if the spring maiden was gravely injured / died at the very beginning of it (like vernal) or near the end (like penny).
so. not how, but when; was it before or after raven left, and did killing an innocent / becoming the spring maiden play a part in her leaving?
#like every inner circle member has in some way spiraled down#upon learning about salem's immortality#i don't think raven is different#and just leaving doesn't feel... drastic enough?#like girl was trained to kill from young age#of course killing is on the menu during her down spiral

So, a thing that has always bugged me ever since I learned about TWST is its connection to Kingdom Hearts.
It was literally released MONTHS after Re:Mind, with a plot of a character crossing worlds, ink monsters similar to Heartless, and a Mickey in the mirror that makes everyone think of his KH version.
I just find it funny. Maybe they're waiting for TWST to end so it can show up in KH4?
Maybe we'll see NRC and its world fall into darkness in the end, only to meet a few familiar faces later on...
My main idea is Sora meeting at least the dorm leaders + Jamil and Ortho in Quadratum. They are all friends, but no one remembers NRC. Then, as part of the tutorial, Sora has to "regain his connection to the Disney Worlds" by befriending the teenagers based on their villains, be it by playing games with Idia or studying with Riddle. The final boss would be Grim, then, with an actual fight. Or we just buy tuna cans.
However, Sora accidentally gains a bunch of older siblings that come along when he leaves Quadratum (Sora is roughly the same age as the first years, so of course the dormheads would look out for him).
The gang then stays at Traverse Town, though they sometimes help out and even try becoming keyblade wielders.
Let's hope they don't meet the Great Seven, though.
#riddle is training to become a keyblade wielder#leona idia and malleus are searching the library because they want to know the LORE#azul has a one sided rivalry with scrooge mcduck and his restaurant#kalim is just vibing#of course jamil is learning the keyblade#powerful magical key that allows travel between worlds? sign him up#vil has made it his personal mission to help kairi. he is doing a better job than yen sid#malleus misses silver and tries hugging riku. it doesn't go well#twst#kingdom hearts#grim is travelling with Sora#riddle rosehearts#malleus draconia#leona kingscholar#kalim al asim#jamil viper#idia shroud#azul ashengrotto#ortho shroud#sora kh

it’s so important to me when optimus and hot rod don’t have a mentor mentee relationship and optimus would never in a million years actively chose him to lead the autobots. i feel like that’s where a lot of other successors fail in appeal to me- like hot shot or smokescreen- because the matrix is essentially gifted to them.
#1986 movie…… *deadman floating*#i think a very valid interpretation of the 1986 movie is that the matrix was waiting for hot rod to become a valid successor#and that over the course of the movie by learning through his peers and from his own mistakes#(ie listening to kup’s universal greeting & him noticeably training to fight better on the ship)#(and more)#he becomes worthy#i don’t feel like anyone else has that true underdog charm#if optimus likes you ur a failure of a successor (JOKE)#but only a half joke#anyway.#i think it’s also an interesting portrayal of optimus. that he CHOOSES ultra Magnus.#who is ultimately not prime material#it’s an inherently flawed decision. I think it’s neat that optimus is wrong in a sense.#tf rollback

duvall out on the railway headed towards bellmetal station just idly sketching the chords of the universe (whatever that means) and then katonya immediately recognizes it as the course? this is romance, to me
#duvall and the course are !!!!#do you think he has a complex? katonya gives him her fable book and explodes into an angel off screen... chine gives him It and implodes#he unmakes that whole cleaver lodge in order to protect It (literal child of the course)#i keep thinking about his 'destroy a haunt to learn more about your task' beat that went unaddressed#there's one point where he gets close to destroying the train station in Just Returns and they admit they don't know what his task is#and i just think it's a satisfying coincidence how duvall only successfully makes an impact with his annihilation move is#when he's swooping in to save chine or the baby#and anyway my headcanon is that duvall is the structure the way a shipwreck is a structure for a chaotic city of baby fish and corals#his task is course-related you dig?#broken record voice#chine/duvall

Starlin may dislike Robin in general rather than Jason personally, but when he writes shit like this where Jason is made to look like a bad student who Bruce struggles to teach, and Dick is the True hero who has to set him straight and clean up after him… it sure feels personal!
And look at the way Jason’s dialogue is written/ how he’s drawn in this issue and the issue prior:
He’s kind of… a huge dweeb. He’s obviously anxious, but in a way that fails to be endearing because he’s simultaneously shown to be careless.
He stumbles over his words in a way that indicates he’s struggling to face the situation at hand, and it’s made worse by the fact that Jason apparently finds getting reprimanded by Bruce or defying Nightwing to be a situation more difficult- more worthy of anxiety- than any of the other dangerous stuff he was doing. Like he really is written as someone who does not take the vigilante game seriously here.
Idk. This is a flashback issue which ends with Jason sort of redeemed by virtue of getting on good terms with Dick, and if this characterization had been allowed to stay in the past it would’ve been ok I guess. But Jason dies a little while later and instead of this little arc where Jason went from a shitty kid to a decent hero who made good on the legacy Dick left him, he is just Entirely defined as this shitty reckless kid.
Thanks I hate it!
#it’s not that I find the premise of this issue unreasonable#Of course Jason would’ve made mistakes starting out#how many times has Dick been boy hostage in the old old days lol#but the devil is in the details#notice that although Dick and Jason make up at the end of the story it’s really got nothing to do with Jason himself#and everything to do with how magnanimous Dick is#(and hey Dick is who this issue is about so I won’t bitch about that but)#we the readers are sort of left to assume that Jason got less shitty over time#that is how Jason went from this shitty Robin to the decent Robin we know- Dick’s influence#All this rambling just to say that I don’t take Starlin’s run very seriously#I’m not even invested in the arc of Jason learning to go from shallow to true hero#because the whole reason Bruce picked Jason up#trained him and continued to allow him to be his partner#is because he was so similar to Dick from the get-go#it’s a boring arc in comparison to what Collin’s set up with Bruce frequently comparing Jason to Dick during the months they were training#jason todd#batsalt

Anyone else use to 'train' yourself in case you went blind later in life? (attempt to do things with your eyes closed)
#during science i learned that the sun could kill you and if you looked at it you could go blind#and so of course I looked at it. for less then a second and freaked out. hesrd the story of these guys that stared at it and went blind#after that i carried a weight on me that id go blind too. slowly#anyway love how randomly at midnight i talk about me as a kid. another story about when i was little and convinced i was dying in some way#but yeah my siblings did this too 'training for going blind' so im curious if its universal. or if we're all just wack#text#august rambles

Would the human pets be capable of basic tasks like washing their clothes or preparing food? I can see some pets knowing how to prepare food as like, a fun little party trick to impress others, but as a basic survival skill I don't think it's commonly taught to humans anymore. There's most likely a line drawn between pets that are helpful and reliable, and pets that are too capable, to the point where certain owners may feel threatened by their level of intelligence and independence. I wonder just how helpless the humans would be without their aliens.
#alien stage#alnst#rambles#my take is this: hyuna is completely independent and knows every basic survival skill (a long process of learning if she was self-taught)#but afterwards she taught every single recruit how to take care of themselves.#i think hyuna would be the closest to a normal functioning adult in terms of skillset among the main cast#mizi would know how to prepare certain foods but only very simple ones#im not sure if till would know how to do anything properly but he's at least resourceful enough to keep himself going on his own#(since it seems like Guardian Urak leaves him to fend for himself most of the time)#Ivan would know how to do a lot of things in theory but has most likely never performed them himself#and i think sua and luka perform very decorative trophy-esque roles to their owners#so they wouldn't really know how to do anything other than what they're trained to excel at#of course theyre smart people so theyd pick it up eventually#but as of now they probably dont know how to cook or wash or properly clean aside from the basics of tidying after themselves#especially since sua is stated to constantly be in a daze with no plans#and luka as a kid seemed in his own world most of the time#THIS IS JUST ME THO LOL my opinions are bound to change eventually im jist#im just speculating and headcanoning for funsies

Thinking about when i studied counselling at uni and they straight up told us that cbt has negative outcomes for many people and shouldn't become a standard for care, all talking therapies seem to have the same efficacy as each other, many psychologists think therapy is ineffective altogether, serotonin and dopamine don't work like that we just act like they do because pills that prevent their reuptake help people*, all diagnoses are a socially created (and enforced) map that shifts and changes with time and culture, and any one person could have been diagnosed and treated differently by myriad different doctors based on luck and social factors
Shame its practitioners don't think so
#anti psychiatry#when it came time to pick a master's degree it turned out every single professionally recognised course was pseudoscience#so i have to choose between practising actual bullshit or not becoming a proper psychotherapist#their rationale: it doesn't make a difference what the therapy is because it doesn't matter#also good luck trying to get into the mental health sphere if you're not able to pay £££#so many people get into it as a hobby after retiring from middle class positions. which I'm sure doesn't contribute to its problems at all#like they taught us to formulate our own approaches and beliefs and then told us we're only getting a job if we take up someone else's#training is gonna suck shit yall#like. i see some efficacy and potential in it that's why i want in. but... it's like being trained super well on food hygeine and safety and#then becoming a line cook at the filthiest restaurant and learning everywhere in town is the same. yknow?#i think therapy is useful. i also think it's not for everyone. after all that's what they taught me and they used evidence to do it#anyway

My toxic trait is that I like how my incomplete drawings look better than the finished things
#im sorry i cant be her (my searching lines)#i cant stop thinking about this drawing i have a sinking feeling that im gonna be very unhappy when its done#or. not unhappy. but not as excited as i feel about it now!#i only worked in two short chunks on it but both were pretty productive#i have a feeling that when i take the time to really dedicate myself to it im gonna fuck something up#like i can see areas i need to/can improve already but the glaring flaws are ok! bc it's not finished!#it OVERALL looks cool and LOOKS like it has the potential to turn out well#but will it... WILL IT??? WILL IT EVER?#i have never been so totally completely satisfied w any finished drawing ive dedicated myself to fully.#tales from diana#this is also only the second time ive done a really deliberate self-portrait that wasnt in some for or another. practice#like of course ive drawn my face before. not that often actually. but since yes i do draw. i have drawn myself#i probably should've drawn myself more times for how often i think id like a nice picture of myself#but then again its not gonna be so 'nice' if i make it and am not totally happy w it?#see one of the ppl who inspired me to learn to draw is ned @sneez my dearest. he's spoiled me before#and drawn me very beautifully on several occasions and it's very much a thing to move one's heart#to see someone dedicate their talent to depicting YOU.#and i might say HE has made me look more beautiful in art than i think i'll ever look in the flesh#which is not to say he drew me inaccurately. but he's so talented that his art is more beautiful than life.#and i dont compare myself in skill to him bc he's been doing it for YEARS and way more trained than me in the visual arts.#like it simply wouldn't be fair so i only compare myself to myself. naturally#but i used to think. very VAINLY i might say. that if i could draw like him id draw beautiful pictures of myself all the time#well ce n'est pas ca mon ami. since learning to draw i've found im much more interested in drawing ppl i find beautiful#rather than myself. im not art. not through my own eyes at least.#i should really draw ned sometime. i really should.#actually somewhat embarrasingly i tried to draw him like 5 or 6 years ago. and i NEVER tried to draw then#i did show him tho and he thought it was very impressive but that's probably just bc he loves me. xoxox#maybe ill post that someday as a throwback just for the hell of it. lol. thatd be cute

Young Teacher Tuvok Patreon | Ko-fi
#Person: So I heard from the students that you're the headteacher? / Tuvok: ???This is a college???#his kids gave him a mug that says 'Father' bc it would be impossible to ascertain whether or not he is in fact the no.1 dad#despite their own emphatically positive opinions...'Father' is factual v_v (in my mind the mug just has a vulcan symbol)#bea art tag#st voyager#Tuvok#Tuvok went through Starfleet training/academy - Quit - Then probably had to go to a whole different college to get a teaching license#When he re-entered Starfleet did he have to take lessons again?? Is there a separate license to be a Starfleet instructor?#After being expelled from his school as a teen ... how long was he with the monks? Did he repeat a grade?#Tuvok your education fascinates me#Vulcan school - expelled - learning at a temple with monks - repeat grade? / Vulcan school - graduate#enter starfleet academy - graduate - quit - enter college - graduate - teach - quit job - enter starfleet (academy?) - graduate?#- starfleet teaching license - end#note: I don't think under normal human circumstances you'd need to go back to the academy but Tuvok quit Starfleet at like 20 something#and who knows how many decades passed since then - I'm sure the curriculum changed a lot in like 70 years v_v#maybe....a few catchup courses. Like a semester instead of four(?) years#st voyager art#also I like the thought that Tuvok is considered introverted/reserved even amongst Vulcans#Less so than how humans perceive him but still enough that it IS a personality trait rather than purely a cultural difference

it's starting to hit me that i'm going to have a career soon and like... that is like a wild thing to try to comprehend?? like yes i've studied my ass off for the past twoish months- to pass a test. but that test means i have job where i can sit and do my job? it's still a very radical concept to me.
#kate rambles from here on#the thing is- my family has always been working class- so i really wrote off college at a young age- mostly cause my dream differed#bc of wanting to make music and what not- but like they offered the course to me for free and it's sth i've thought about before and#i've been struggling not having a job bc of my plantars fasciitis (it's from stress) so not working on my feet = lifesaver for me#i am thankful for saving up as hard as i did when i could- bc i've been living off it until recently- where it's gotten too low for my liki#it's not that i'm complaining and/or changing my lifestyle- it's just i had been fighting to get a job that i could do that wouldn't kill m#to do- and i applied to this job thinking 'they're never even going to look at my application' bc imo i have no real qualifications outside#of customer service- but they did- and i've been in the process of being hired for the past 2-3~ mos- in two days it is tech the start of#my contract- in five days i'll be going near the big city to do my onboarding? and then i'll do more course work and like the idea that soo#in January- officially- part time- i'll be working at office? like is just a wild concept to me- i'll be getting paid for learning in dec~#and i just? omg... this is wild to me... yes i realize my plantars could strike back here- but- bc i will be sitting it'll mitigate it sm#it is still part time for now- bc i asked for it to be part time and work my way up to full time- i'm allowed at any time w/training to#move up to the next level- but i can stay at level 2 for hwvr long i wish if i want to- mostly i'll be working from jan to may#and idk random fact but after applying i got to learn that my grandma before she passed did the same thing- i really do take#after my namesake- hehe- idk this is a big ramble but it's just vv wild to me#(me over here “my first big purchase will be the byz's sgs” ((i could buy it now but i'm waiting for it as a treat~)) i bought their album#when i successfully completed the scary test~ so i'm using them as a motivator to work hard ebhbhea)#kate rambles#idk i'm vv proud of myself and i just wanted to share-

I had a bad feeling about Blue Eye Samurai just for its title alone but then later learning it's creators are z*onists confirmed it for me. But also literally what is with White people and their weird orientalism & obsession with light eyed or mixed Asian people...
#of course he also was involved with famously orientalist Blade Runner#i learned my lesson about White men writing stories about blue eyed Japanese girls from Arthur Golden. i knew it was bad news#the main character isn't even good at combat because she trains hard or anything shes just naturally able to copy movements#and essentially because shes half white & spends the whole series embarassing the main Japanese dude side character#who would likely be just as good or better at fighting than her#and this just reminds me of white feminism's obsession of girlbossifying their white female characters#by having them brutalize and embarrass men of color (usually & very often Asian men for some reason??)
