I do wonder sometimes whether Kaz did a poor job of teaching Inej lock-picking or if she just couldn’t pick it up as well because they both take the blame in her not having mastered the skill

#like kaz says he did a shotty job of teaching her and then inej says he did his best but she couldnt pick it up so then i go hmm 🤔#i do think it was probably that kaz didnt have enough of the patience to teach her thoroughly enough but also inej just has a hard time w i #soc #six of crows #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #kanej #dont know why im thinking soc thoughts today but yk #well probably bc i have a bunch of work to do #txt

LAURENCE HARVEY a.k.a. LARUSHKA MISCHA / ZVI MOSHEH SKIKNE (born october 1st, 1928 - died november 25th, 1973)

“I always believed in Laurence Harvey, even when nobody else did. Especially when nobody else did.”

“Most people imagined they knew and understood Larry with little trouble. That was a big mistake. They didn't know how deep and complex, how elusive, he remained behind his social mask.” - Paulene Stone, his wife

“I cannot yield to failure, it would make far too many people happy.”

#i care him (obscure actor nobody is talking about)#idk man i felt inspired to make this and ive been working on it for the past several hours at my job. i wish it was my job #so-called free thinkers when they remember a guy. anyway!#the first gif is from the wonderful world of the brothers grimm and we're lucky i was able to even get it bc its GONE from tubi 💔#fortunately i got it from some clip on youtube abt the restoration but i had to include something from that movie #with a vague theme in these gifs of lesser known. appearances. i guess #the second is from when a bunch of actors went to this birthday celebration for noel coward #the next is from password (his silly little mannerisms and the lady's eyebrow raise at the end is killing me)#and then celebrity bowling followed by columbo and then lastly welcome to arrow beach #for those of you if any that cared where these all came from #i just think he's neat (guy that i would like to make a documentary on)#and well he deserved a good gifset. maybe ill even make more . it could happen #you should all still watch the wonderful world of the brothers grimm. just maybe not some of his other movies ive suffered through #the columbo gif could look better but for some reason the gif maker made all the colors suck :( and thats the best it was gonna look #it was a battle against source quality and tumblrs gif size limit #i also considered making other gifs but you know what im happy w six (i don't have the patience to do more)#that post thats going around of like you have to follow people that are obsessed w old hollywood actors. im doing my part #youd love him. he was a bisexual sarcastic bitch . and i also think hes 😵‍💫 but that was probably obvious #laurence harvey #not bothering 2 tag the movies #happy larry day. which inspired all this

it sucks that so much of my family has also dealt with cancer but it's really lovely that they were able to give me warnings about things

#a friend of mine just had a computer glitch and lost a bunch of work and i said it sucked and i'm sorry and asked if he could email his prof #and he's i think just really upset about it as i would be too bc that does suck so bad #but i don't have the energy to commiserate. i feel like a steaming pile of shit right now. i only got home 30 minutes ago from the hospital #and i have to go back tomorrow and then spend the rest of the day probably feeling like this while also having to go to another appointment #bc i need to get my earrings changed out so i can take them out for my body scan #and then going home with earl and setting up. and finally getting a bday gift to my friend as well and dropping that off #i feel increasingly gross and sick rn and this was just one injection #but my relatives were like 'listen. no one in your life is going to get this unless they've had cancer. and it sucks but that's how it is'#and i'm just very glad i got that heads up because i'm getting a lot of love and support from relatives now #esp the ones who also dealt with cancer #but it's just been radio silence from friends. and i get it i get they have their own lives and might not know what to say #but it does still hurt a little #i do have one friend who has been lovely and accommodating with the diet i have to be on #but my other best friend is just. i think with his school he has his own friends and his own life but. yeah. it just hurts a little #maybe i'm being irrational idk. something to discuss with my therapist today at our appointment #not everything is about me etc etc #this is the same friend who lost his work that i mentioned in the tags #cancer tw

twitter is entering their "rts > likes" phase now that likes are private after they spent years calling us ungrateful for being demotivated by ratios lmao

#man fuck yall just support artists you enjoy #dont attack people who dont rb/rt your art (hell they might even have it scheduled) but also dont constantly demand ''content'' from people #ESPECIALLY without telling them that you appreciate the effort they put in to show you cool things they made for free #you should've been rt'ing/rb'ing from the START 😒 just show people you care!#im just waiting to scroll through post after post of ppl calling out ''entitled artists'' lmao #btw my opinion on the whole thing is painfully neutral if you couldnt tell #i dont think you should care that much about numbers and ppl take it wayyyyyy too far #throwback to that one guy who personally @ everyone who didnt reblog their art that was CRAZY. i would straight up report you KJFGHKG #i also understand and have personally experienced how much engagement can change your mood #a simple ''i love this!'' can make someone's day. it's not hard to understand why ppl like engagement #when they make post after post without so much as a little tag they dont care about sharing anymore #the fact that people call that ''entitlement'' is also crazy #i have a lot of drawings i havent posted or just left nonrebloggable bc it really doesnt make a difference lmao #the only ones i leave rebloggable are the ones that i Know will do well and get attention. like the little pig redraw #if it's cute or funny it gets positive attention. anything else is shit on here lmao #it's just not as fun to share. it either leads to no engagement or negative engagement #would rather have nothing than something rude so whatever #some ppl say it's always been like this but no it absolutely was not always like this #idk what exactly caused the change. probably a lot of factors #could even just be the fandoms i hang around in! but considering i've seen the same sentiment from a bunch of ppl i doubt it's that #the best solution to no engagement is to just make friends and have fun #but 90% of the internet is hostile and negative and rude for no fucking reason #when i unfollowed someone on my old public twitter and they @ me over it. damn i dont know why but NOW i know why 😭#this post has gone way off course im just ranting at this point. i havent talked in a while hi how have you guys been #work was a lot yesterday and today is too slow (im not at work im just going crazy in my house)#(and i cant leave my house bc there's construction blocking the road someone save me)#chat

Actually I think it's a bit unfair that I can't be an astrophysicist and a historian and a game developer and a marine biologist and an archaeologist and an author and a seamstress at the same time

#I think I have a quarter-life crisis /hj #like I want to make space discoveries but I also want to analyse ww2 battles and I want to-#study the behaviour of whales and I want to create fictional worlds and I want to sew costumes and and and #there's so much knowledge out there to be learned and things to try out how are you supposed to do this all in one lifetime?#when you're expected to start working a fulltime job and stay in that line for the rest of your life??#though my problem isn't necessarily that I don't wanna be doing that job - it's more that I don't *only* wanna be doing that job #I just wish I could just try different job fields and see what they're like for like 2-3 years before trying out something else #but since they're all so different I'd have to start from the bottom again every time which probably also means worse payment etc #and I just don't have the time for that because I'd also like to build a stable life and maybe have a family later on #plus some of these jobs are just don't pay very well to begin with #I swear if I was rich and didn't have to worry about regular income I'd probably just be a forever student and study a whole bunch of stuff #just because I want to #unless I win the lottery I'll probably just start working fulltime though once I hopefully finish my master's #however I've already been thinking about signing up for studying history afterwards regardless - just for fun without pressure #I love the topic and then I wouldn't have the pressure of *needing* to find a job in the field afterwards #bc it's hard to find something unless you go for the teacher (or maybe professor) route plus pay seems kinda meh either way #but we'll see #I don't even know what this post is supposed to be. like not really a vent but. still complaining? idk #I don't know how to tag this #selnia talks

Being a sentimental bitch is all fun and games until you have to move out

#I’m moving out of my parents house (finally)#which is where I’ve lived since I was born (when I wasn’t at college or somwehrre else temporarily)#and I don’t think I’ve gone through my room to this extent in at least 10 years #and I tend to keep just. everything #I’m keeping a bunch of the old cards and doodles and photos from middle and high school #and I think I’m gonna keep some old t shirts from marching band or whatever and make a blanket or something out of them eventually #I’m probably keeping way more than I should but I’ve also tossed a lot and I think I’m doing really well all things considered #idk man. I’m feeling some type of way about all of it #it’s not even like my parents are selling the house yet. bc when that happens I’m gonna be a fucking mess #anyway. gotta keep working because I have way too much shit #Mads says shit

y'know whats funny. i think the isat fixation is finally taking a backseat in my mind lol

i think it has been for a while but yeah now i just have ocs and games on my mind all the time lol

also im still kinda stuck on my fic.... like no motivation to write very much and not many ideas either oops

can't help it tho!! on top of me thinking about literally everything else i am also still working every day and trying to keep up doodling every now and then (ocs <3 i love my ocs)

i won't drop aoyany dw. it will be completed. the question of when is something i don't have an answer to tho 🥲 but i won't leave loop and sif suffering like that dwdw. they deserve better so i will give them that Eventually.

#minhmy rambles #aoyany fic talk #like omfg yeah im playing sky like every day at least for dailies and then i also just played a bunch of splat for eggstra work lol #heres hoping 263 is a gold score 🙏 tho it probably is lol. but my group and i had a hard time working for more #and as routine and same-y eggstra work can be we kept changing little things about our strategy each time and it messed me up a lot #so i struggled more than i wanted to lol.. like me flipping between two weapons just to fill spots ugh #also i've been playing brothership bit by bit...!!! yay brothership!!!!!!!! its so much fun but god do i have gripes about a few tiny things #like y'know. why isn't luigi always B when ur in battle. and also why doesn't he act like he did in the other games aka Stuck to mario #like previously if u jumped across a gap (hitting both A + B) and only mario makes it u can't move on bc luigi fell down #so u'd have to go all the way back bc they're Connected like that. but in brothership he jumps over gaps automatically #like thats a tiny gripe. the menu thing isn't tho. MY MUSCLE MEMORY.......#also. also. still having autism thoughts ofc lol. learned a fun new thing yesterday thats actually a texture issue that i didn't think was #but either way im having fun in my life everythings going well #yay <3

#having trouble even finding another time i can do it 😭#if my mom wasn't driving me bc of my eye surgery this morning i wouldn't have even gotten her message to reschedule 😖#this can't be a good thing ughhh #my friend's mom wasn't able to set up an interview at the other place for today either but she's giving me a tour instead #so mayyyybe that's a sliver of hope for that but probably not #im p sure i'll be trying to get a job at that place is going to be a years long process #my mentor said she's applied many times over the years so that doesnt bode well lol #tho i am abt to go for my associates and she doesnt have any ece credits just experience #thats all i currently have #and this school is suuuuper fancy pants #my friend's mom said its the modt qualified bunch of teachers she's ever worked with #many of them have phds even to teach middle school #😬😬😬#so im p underqualified which is probably why i haven't even heard back to say thanks but no thanks yet #this has been a shitpost

Roughly once every four years I ponder the alternate timeline where I didn't get scared and quit college rugby after a single practice

#everyone was cool i was just intimidated coming from softball and karate into a full-contact team sport #after one practice i was like 'this is not for me' and didn't go back #and i do feel this way during most olympics. but especially after watching a bunch of women's rugby yesterday and today lol #maybe this'll be the year i finally get buff. im realizing that i really need to get regular exercise so im looking for stuff to do #I've enjoyed softball a lot this year and last but it's only in the spring/summer (our season just ended)#i wasn't really able to play last fall bc my work schedule gets crazy in sep/oct and i work some weekends #gyms are so fucking expensive and i really prefer having a structured activity to just free workout time #i've tried a couple of apps (just started using a new one that seems promising) but i can never stick to them as well as a team or class #i gotta figure out what sports run in the winter and where the chiller recreational teams are #i do feel like i lucked out with my softball league. it's not so casual that it's a boozefest but not so competitive that it becomes unfun #some of my softball teammates have talked about doing basketball together and like.#im a good sport im willing to try most things despite being fat and slow but i am Extremely not built for basketball lmao #idk idk. i just turned 30 last week and have started having trouble sleeping in the last few months #regular moderate exercise will not solve all my problems but it will probably help #j rambles

going to a comedy open mic tomorrow mostly to watch my friends (it's at a cool venue that my improv troupe performs at once a month and a few improv troupe friends are doing standup there) but when these friends were asking if i'd be interested in coming they were like "btw there's usually a ton of open spots on show days if YOU want to do something... and they're not strict about it only being standup either, people have done character pieces and sketches etc like they embrace the weirdness... and they're not strict about time limits you could probably do anything between three and eight minutes... sometimes if there's not enough people signed up they'll even let you go twice..." and i'm like god damn it i thought i was gonna take a break from aubrey but this setup is like tailor made for an aubrey appearance lmao

#still on the fence about it bc the burnout i experienced at the beginning of may extended to aubrey #especially bc so much of my aubrey stuff is comedy about gender and my brain was more in ''set everything on fire'' mode #and i think i've gotten to a good place with that burnout but i still haven't worked on any aubrey stuff since i got home from college #but even still even tho my mental health is better than it was a few weeks ago #recently i have had this horrible insomnia where i haven't been able to fall asleep at night in over a week #(i've made up for it with naps but still i am not mentally 100% rn. i've tried so many things and nothing has worked.)#so that's my justification for *not* doing aubrey tomorrow. however.#i reeeally need to get more performance experience bc there's only so much you can develop a sketch character without performing them #and this venue is so good. it's an art gallery like an hour away that's designed to be part gallery and part performance venue #especially for comedy. like the venue owner is this veteran comedian who used to work with bobcat goldthwait and a lot of other big names #and it's a low-pressure environment bc everyone there has seen me do comedy before with my improv troupe #but they still haven't seen me do aubrey at all so it's bringing a new side of my comedy to some of my main collaborators #like this is so much better than my previous aubrey performances bc they were all either #1. shows in CLASSROOMS with a bunch of my classmates who generally don't get my comedy (very clique-ish)#or 2. a guest spot on a show at a coffee shop where everyone knew each other except me #plus the biggest thing for me is the lack of a strict time limit. like as much as having a good 3-minute monologue can be #i think aubrey is a character you need to get to know a bit longer than 3 minutes. and a lot of my stuff is long while also being very tigh #like not every monologue is like this but my best aubrey monologues are almost like aubrey is telling you a sitcom storyline #and removing too many lines makes the whole narrative jenga tower fall over #and as much as i want to figure out how to make every monologue a good starting point #having the chance to perform multiple monologues if i get to go twice so that they can build off each other would be perfect #idk i'm not sure how often the open mics are there. at least monthly tho i might be missing next month's depending on when i'm in toronto #so like this wouldn't really be my only chance. but yeah i'm on the fence about whether to bring aubrey back for a performance tomorrow #i probably wouldn't do new material. i'd do the 5 minute version of my uncle reg monologue bc it's the one that's worked best so far #and if i get to do multiple. maybe i'd do the ''nom de plum'' monologue bc i think it's also very strong #and it has a good callback to uncle reg #but idk i also think doing the song would be very fun and on-theme since it's pride month and the song is a satire of rainbow capitalism #tho i'd probably have to rework the monologue that leads into the song bc even tho i loved the concept i don't think i articulated it well #or i could write an entirely different lead-in and make the previous monologue (''C/H/M'') a separate thing to revise later #which would probably go better and somehow be less work to write. but even so i don't know what the venue's sound setup is

Every time I need to cut my hair I get super excited bc I know I'll love it and EVERY TIME right after I cut it I fucking hate it and feel so uncomfortable I have to avoid looking at myself for a bit bc I look suddenly different and something about that makes me feel nauseous until like two days later when I'm used to it and love it again

This time is the WORST ITS EVER BEEN

What the fuck is the deal with that bc it really makes getting my hair cut a fucking trial

#delete later #im having a bunch of sensory issues lately and nausea and its driving me insane #i think im probably just super anxious about my trip but its really annoying #i want to bavk out and not go SO BAD but the good thing is that telling ppl at work means if i dont go it'll look weird #so that is pushing me to go. which is good bc i KNOW I'll enjoy it I KNOW THAT its just thr apprehension #and the risk that i wont enjoy it.#i am excited #im also scared #i hate ny brain #on the fun side the testosterone has made my shoulders broader snd face wider and im looking and sounding more masc #also i feel bad bc i didn't ckean up after hair cutting well enough bc i fekt so off balance and bad that i did it quick and then laid down #so i need to ensure i clean before i check how it looks or do SOMETHING differently #truly living is a task and having to problem solve every facet of life makes it fucking exhausting

OK WAIT here's a ITNL chapter 14 section that's not really spoilers. just a sweet lil section

after this is where it's more Spoilers. but for now. HERE U go. happy birthday vash & also Uhhhh @ ITNL readers I PROMISE i am working on the chapter. things r just hard lol

#speculation nation #itnl shit #spoilers bc of uhh. Conversation. i wanna keep the conversation a secret for now lol #not bad spoilers it's just better digested as a whole probably #ANYWAYS heres some more vash & kaite bro time. god im gonna miss kaite when we gotta say goodbye to him #but he's still here for now and he gets to watch vash tinker with his (very internally fried) arm #before and after this section is vash inspecting the damages & thinking of what he can do to try to fix it #which i do have a lot written. but im gonna be going thru it for accuracy & also keeping in mind the thing from earlier #the possibility that average operational power of his arm comes from vash himself rather than extra batteries #this is with the assumption that a (relatively) small output of electricity is not smth that would fuck with his lifespan #just a normal expenditure of energy. like moving his flesh muscles. just a constant lil stream of electricity that he gets from eating & w/#no need to dip into his life reserves for it. bc if he did that would get impractical.#idk im going to think about it more. i really dont Need to figure out how his arm works #but listen. ive built a robot before. im in polytech. i wanna think about wtf his arm actually Is #even if this is coming in the context of all the internal wires being blown & a bunch of shit straight up Melted #his arm is... very very blown... he's gonna be going one-arm for a While still lmao. oh well #i think it's a good thing to remember that he is in fact physically disabled. he can make up for it Especially in a fight #but it still will inconvenience him in a lot of ways. cool biotech arm is cool but also it's nice to remember that he Is physically disable #and so i am embracing it. he's tinkering with his arm in his free time but if he has to spend weeks (or months) w/o his prosthetic #well that's just the reality he's gotta live #anywyas. Here u go. snippet. that's a few hundred words so idk if this counts as a snippet but im calling it a snippet. Here You Go

what are ur thoughts on the winners room trope?

ooooo okay surface level analysis: i like winner’s room fics :)

etwas tieferes: i think it’s cool that it’s (afaik) unique to hockey fandom and i enjoy the way it integrates a lot of unspoken rules in hockey with desire/makes them a physical/tangible reality… also the narrative potentials/world-building it opens up can be fun because there’s not really a set of rules for the “winner’s room” trope. are there in-universe rules? who gets chosen? who’s exempt? who gets to pick? where’s it going down? is it the entire room or one guy? what if your (ex)boyfriend is on another team? does somebody need to be taught a lesson or do you need to remind someone who got traded you still love them? also, most important, winner’s room gives you the chance to put two random-ass guys you saw interact for 0.002 seconds and went “hmmm. interesting” about into a Situation and i love that
