Anyways, to those who have been wondering what we've been doing during our impromptu Tumblr Vacation or whatever we're calling it, we've been trying to find a playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3 that is made by someone who doesn't annoy the shit out of us, and also tormenting Karlach Cliffgate (as you do)

#we speak #also sleeping. we have slept a lot. being in a school environment is exhausting.#its very hard to remember how much we generally enjoy learning when the environment itself is. that #but on the plus side our shittiest possible 40-minute 1k word essay with eight trillion loose lines we Could have connected #was apparently impressive enough that the people who were meant to be assessing it for If We Could Take The Course #as a preliminary instead just forwarded it as a formal application and it got through #we know we are better at writing and deconstructing that writing than most. however.#christ man there were like a dozen cracks in that essay reasoning and a trillion threads we left dangling #we know that directing you to see what the narrative is focusing on and nothing else is a skill we're good at #but like. this is like if we just shucked a pelt off with no processing and showed it to you. its not even scraped yet.#there are little bits of metaphorical fat and gristle all over the underside of this. you can feel them when picking it up.#we lost the plot of the original prompt halfway through to argue about anthrocentrism. it's messy work.#like its decent prose and if we polished it a bit it could probably be decent within the constraints but it's a 40 minute prompt and sloppy #we tabbed out of the test tab and started writing pokemon fanfiction instead of polishing it. and you think it's impressive?#we know we've spent like more than ten years writing and have read a lot even before that we just forget people have such low standards #...god hopefully this doesnt read as bragging. we are having the experience of like #we get out of the most physically and mentally fatiguing experience we've had for like Years after doing the Bare Minimum to not die #we have been outputting work that is sloppy and we are fully aware of it because we are too tired to put full effort into schoolwork #and we are still getting like. “oh wow this is so good youre so good at making things”#like man. we can do better than this. teacher was like “wow youd be a great script writer” we are good at dialogue but better at descriptio #and we weight. a lot of our capacity for dialogue. in our ability to have cues human people do not have. this will not work well on-screen #also that industry is one of the Many Many Industries that are super mega fucked up rn #and we do not work well with constantly changing expectations #we hope this is a fun glimpse into our current life btw we are finally on break and god. this is great. we can sleep now.
