#why am i even explaining no one cares

[bat-the-misfit]

just to explain what i meant with "being actually different" in yesterday's post i'm gonna use Frankenstein and the Monster as an example:

the Monster is said to be Victor's foil, but in reality that's Victor's perspective. While he is "human, good-looking and intelligent", the Monster is "inhumane, grotesque and dumb". but these things don't really make them different.

this is not to say Mary is a bad writer, in fact i thought the book was so freaking great i reread it twice. what i mean is that the Monster is only a foil in Victor's view.

if you're a mbti nerd like me, listen to this: Frankenstein's an INTP and the Monster is often said to be an INFP. that just shows how NOT different they are.

they're both IxxP types, so their temperament is the same - they are both Ji doms. their inferior function is a Je function. They both make decisons on what they think is the best option ignoring what the world thinks about it.

Frankenstein wants to kill the Monster bc his whole existence does not make sense to him, it's not "correct" a monster keeps walking around like a human when they're not one in his logical perspective (Ti). He doesn't really care the Monster might actually have feelings and wants to be human (inf Fe).

the Monster wants to "feel right", to feel like an actual human being, to experience the most beautiful feeling humans can ever feel: love. Everything he does is to be able to feel "right" (Fi) and when he gets rejected by everyone for his appearance, he gets in a Te grip (ex. killing that boy) and forgets every single moral principle and value he had as most important to him bc he could feel more human bc of them. He does not actually think how can he efficiently show his value to society by proving it in practical ways to people around him (inf Te).

they both lead by making decisions that the believe is the best one (Victor: i kill the monster > everything will be alright again / Monster: i will be generous and give this family gifts > they will love me), the difference is that Victor prefers what makes logical sense to him while the Monster does what feels right to him. Just that.

At the same time they both show their inferior functions similarly when it comes to how they think they are going to be seen by society: Victor fears being seen as evil and being hated by everyone for creating the Monster (inf Fe) while the Monster fears not being able to fit in and have a "normal life" (having to work, gathering food, all the practical shit) like everyone else (inf Te).

they both use auxiliary Ne and tertiary Si. right now i don't remember any Ne things i could say about them bc it's been years i last read Frankenstein but i do remember both of them described the places they were with so much richness of detail i could not not mention their tertiary Si. That might be bc Mary may use Si but idk so meh just gonna keep quiet about that.

they are actually somewhat similar in a cognitive way. the "foil" thing is only in Frankenstein's mind and they actually have a lot in common.

when i said i wanted my characters to be "actually" different i meant that in a cognitive way as well. not their vibes, aesthetics, tastes, but the way they perceive information and make decisions. that's not to say all "foil" characters are not valid and shitty. just that i, Bat, want my foil characters to be more deeply different, in my case a in cognitive way.

well that's it 👍

Since you’re really getting into the world of Jewish music, have you heard of chilik frank ? He’s a chossid who does ashkenaz/Klezmer. My absolute fav song from him is a song called ‘Rabi meir omer’ !

Ughh one thing I love about kletzmer is the emphasis on clarinet so many songs have. It makes me want to pick mine back up and play this by ear...

As well, this is how it feels to play clarinet:

Right, and the racism from other players is ALWAYS excused by fans. I didn't even know about that caroline photo until you brought it up, people just pretend it never happened. And Paula's photo a couple of days ago? She "apologised" and under her post there were HUNDREDS of replies from white people saying that "all was forgiven" "she didn't do anything wrong" and her acting like the victim under those replies. AND!! I was so confused this morning about WHY the crowd in Wuhan (one the most polite crowds ever) would boo Magda Linette, and look what I found on twitter https://x.com/snack_attacck/status/1843536512765288484?t=BawWaz85WH-KbgLd_8R-xA&s=19😭 like why is this shit so normalized, they bury these things so much nobody even knows about it, but god forbid a chinese woman was focused on herself during her game

of COURSE paula was acting like the victim once other white people started showering her with support and excuses for her behavior. rancid. god how hard can it be to know that we are not the ones who should accept or not her apology anyway???? are we asian? are we the ones affected by her racist behavior? no! so we need to just shut the fuck up. (i'm saying we as in me and other white people, obviously i don't know if you're white anon)

goddddd that linette thing is nasty 😭😭 i didn't know about this. bc yeah, these things are never talked about!!! usually these racist behaviors from players are brought up on twitter by someone and then if it spreads maybe people remember for 2 days and then go back to pretending nothing happened. but it's important to hold these players accountable so these shouldn't be things only discussed/shared on twitter by a few fans who care these should be widely known bc why are we letting racists get away with it so easily??

but, as you said, if a chinese woman is gasps focused on her own game as a tennis - notorious solitary sport - player.... unacceptable. bc obviously not smiling at your opponents is much worse than, say, disrespecting an entire culture or race. /s

i could probably like or even love william afton if he made any fucking sense to me as a character

[bentacled]

it's been one day and im still pissed when will this end. season 4 had some neat assassination scenes but none of them shined as bright as the writers assassinating the characters like go off monarchs

[todayisafridaynight]

i cant explain it but daigo being subtitled to just be like 'you're making me look like i have no balls' feels so illegal and wrong. hilarious but something's off

Thinking about current continuity Vanessa and just getting pissed off again

Like one, LET HER REST oh my god dc you ruin her FUCKING life like an asshole only to bring her back as a villain after she finally got out oh my god-

But also like its just so bad. This is a whole other woman with her name like why are we doing this. Like first you kill her mom (JULIA NOOO) and erase her YEARS of history growing up around diana (the thing that actually made her villain turn [if you can call it that w the level of manipulation involved] interesting and fucking heartbreaking) for some shitty "oh I saved you we were friends" run of the mill whatever. Then to use that and say Nessie had a crush on her OWN SISTER (Diana, so like informally adopted, but still 😡) now????

And then they took away her curls and made her a redhead but not even the realistic kind. DC SHE DOESNT LOOK LIKE THAT

It just makes me so mad. Freaking guys. They could have used another name like oh my god. She's not even the first silver swan why the fuck would they do that if they're not going to explore her history w diana (which she no longer has!!!!) or how intensely fucked up everything got for her. What is even the fucking point of this then other to drag a main character of the ww supporting cast through the mud again for genuinely no reason. They could have easily had her be Valerie Beaudry (sorry Val) instead or just MADE UP ANOTHER NAME because it's obvious that no one actually cared about her as a character they just wanted the wondy villain back so like !!!!!!!!!! Why even bother

Instagram keeps showing me reels of someone with a handle named something like jamesmaythristtraps and like, they are truly doing gods work but I can't like or comment on these masterpieces because I know what kind of snitch of an app it is 😔

masha broke a bowl by accident in the kitchen and when i brought her the broom and dustpan and asked her if she was okay, she looked at me, straight-faced, and said, "no, i'm not okay." and then i realized she meant that she still feels emotionally abused by the house somehow, and i felt a flash of anger because i am so sick of her shit, and i rephrased, "are you physically injured?" and she gave me another look and said "i'm physically okay." and then when connie asked from her room "what's going on?" masha replied "nothing new." like fuck off ohhhhhhhh my god

loki season two has me screaming crying throwing up trying not to get dragged back into the mcu trenches

I've been watching/reading Death Note every once in a while for the last couple of months and this is the funniest most unserious serious anime ever.

[pa-pa-plasma]

i hate how a majority of animal sims aren't even animal simulators, they're shenanigans simulators. they aren't actually about the animal, they're just about wreaking havoc, getting points, getting trophies. you could replace it with any other animal & it'd be the same. i don't want "haha look how funny this scenario is" i want to simulate living as a wolf in Yellowstone National Park. where are all those games

[mako-island-moon-pool]

I really do deserve a fucking apology for all the times my friends and family valued strangers on the internet and their opinions more than me

How am I supposed to be just fine with being ignored for years and years or bullied for openly liking what I like, only for those same fucking people to then turn around YEARS LATER, AFTER THE DAMAGE WAS ALREADY DONE, and be like "actually this is cool, so glad I found it" while still ignoring me. Why am I not allowed to be fucking pissed about it? Why is it considered ""gatekeepy"" when I get upset someone who deliberately ignored me for years and insulted the shit I enjoy when I asked them to get into it cuz I thought they'd like it suddenly finds interest in it because it got popular online, not because I'd been begging them to give it a chance and to listen to me for years???? Why is that not allowed????? THAT'S SUCH AN ASSHOLE MOVE, WHY IS IT 'NOT OKAY' TO BE MAD? WHY DON'T THEY GROW A SPINE AND APOLOGIZE FOR DISMISSING ME FIRST? HOW ABOUT THAT?????
