Not me realizing that the first episode of Murder Drones as a Pilot episode was not just called "Pilot" because it is a Pilot episode but because we also meet this funky guy.

Like we can make it a joke but it is genuinely terrifying how fast misinformation and conspiracy theories spread on this website because no one is willing to do a basic Google search. No, the FBI isn't framing a random person for the United Healthcare CEO assassination while also not even bothing to make sure their fall guy is wearing the same jacket. Actually this is the guy who shot the CEO and he's wearing a different jacket because the picture is from the day before when he was checking into his hostel. This is outlined in every single news article publishing the picture. You people would believe that the moon is a big ball of cheese if someone on the internet said it was true.
#gingerswagfreckles#literally please read the news i am begging crying screaming#also my GOD. if you are not gonna read the news dont spread posts about how actually the News Is Lying To You.#yall would never be tricked by the media Lying To You because you dont read it lol. omfg. why are you all#so confident and convinced that you are more clever than the rest of the world#and in on secret information only you and your internet circle know#thats qanon babe. like thats just gamergate shit.#united healthcare#united healthcare ceo#united healthcare assassination

Rewatched that amazing scene where Dazai and Kunikida lock eyes with each other and then dash to opposite sides across the room . GOD I love them GOD I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!! I wish there were seasons of them solving mysteries together
ARENT THEY JUST SO
#kunikidazai#kunikida doppo#dazai osamu#ahli spams bsd#that is if Kunikida survives those recent manga chapters#spoilers#I will always be salty about Dazai’s intelligence power creep#yes it does make fyodor x Dazai a very good ship but it also kind of takes away from these old scenes#the tension the drama the unpredicatability of these old scenes feel lessened to me with the understanding that he’s so smart that he#guess numbers in people’s minds and control his own heart beat like#okay#okay….#you know what I while we’re at it nerf FYODOR’s intelligence too#memorized every scratch on the card my ass omg#and if Asagiri wants to play like that tell me why the guy with photographic memory couldn’t notice color contacts AHHH#I truly do think one of the only truly clever things fyodor did was trick ace into dying#not a fault of the characters.. it’s a fault of the writing#I am bsds no 1 narriative hater and bsds no 1 character lover

so i’ve been. THINKING lately.
you can find many similarities in both stories but there are also huge differences…
in cain and abel’s story cain murders his younger brother because of his jealousy and because god preferred abel over him, which is obviously similar to how chuck’s pride made him envious of jimmy because he’s more likeable and made their mom laugh etcetera etcetera..but i’d say abel was a pure guy, he didn’t do anything bad, he was like. basically the purest human being at that time (well it’s not really difficult to be the best person when there’s like 4 people in the whole world and two of them literally got kicked out of heaven but anyway). and cain murdered him. which is clearly not the case with jimmy and chuck because obviously in the legal point of view chuck is a better person than jimmy …
and we’ve got esau and jacob, which is i think a really underrated story. i mean i love cain and abel but i think people often forget about those two. esau, (technically) an older brother, always gets tricked by jacob. jacob buys his birthright and steals his father’s blessing that was meant for esau. and esau rages at him because. i mean. that’s not a nice thing to do. but in the end jacob becomes one of the Main Characters in the genesis… personally i think this story is more… idk, specific? there’s just something about the younger brother constantly tricking the older to get what he wants, even though the reasons not always are completely selfish. BUT! in the end esau and jacob made peace which is (spoiler alert😨) not the case with chuck and jimmy ………..and also jacob didn’t really have a redemption arc and esau just. idk. moved on with his life. got a family and all that. so he basically became a normie. but yeah ANYWAYS!
so yeah. i’d really love to hear ur thoughts and opinions on this one because i am a little bit insane about all this stuff as you probably noticed
(also if i messed something up or if im wrong anywhere please lmk lol it’s been a while since ive read the old testament…….)
#the best thing to do at 4 am .#better call saul#jimmy mcgill#saul goodman#chuck mcgill#personally i think that. idk#cain and abel’s story is CLASSIC#everyone knows what happened to them and why it happened to them. it’s very straightforward#but honestly i think cain is too evil for chuck#i mean yeah chuck surely is fucked up but he’s not THAT bad#and i think he definitely always had some fucked up sense of love for jimmy and man they just know each other too well#while cain and abel don’t really seem to care about each other and cain is just like. yeah this guy pisses me off im going to kill him 👋bye#and esau&jacob seem to know each other reallt well and they know what they’re capable of#ALSO jacob was his moms favorite!! just like jimmy!!!!#and yeah jacob is obviously much more sly and clever than abel#but. honestly. when i think about it like this#i just. you know.#i think jimmy wouldn’t be like this fucked up if their relationship with chuck was better#i mean. i don’t THINK i KNOW#this is a fact#chuck is one of the most important figures in jimmys life#he and kim is his whole world#which is EXACTLY the thing with cain and abel. there are LITERALLY no other people in the world except for them#they are the only people that exist for each other and THEY HATE EACH OTHER#and it’s PAINFUL#(yeah im ignoring adam and eve’s existence)#while esau and jacob are like. you know. this is an important part of the plot#but no one seems to really care about it#idk how to explain there’s just so much going on there that this thing doesn’t feel that BIG and INTERESTING and IMPORTANT#man idk this is hard

You know you're in the right specialty when you spend a friday morning discussing and looking at the workings of an anaesthetics machine and drawing diagrams of sevofluorane vaporisers and that is a very enjoyable time
#*insert the gary barlow this is my idea of a very nice day out meme*#honestly i am aware how this sounds but its just SO COOL like how we just take over someones breathing#and how the machine gets the right concentration of volatile into the circuit#dont get me started on how sats probes work i read about it the other day#and its just so clever??? how it adjusts for so many variables#and why its only actually accurate above 75% because they had to calibrate them on actual human volunteers#and its kind of unethical to desaturate them to the point theyd probably go into respiratory arrest#anyway ill just be over here trying not to monologue at people about how cool my job is#medicine#medblr#anaesthetics#help im a doctor

Jack Marsh (2005), Friendship Otherwise - Toward a Levinasian Description of Personal Friendship
#saw carnation lily lily rose by john singer seargent irl today. it was basically at my doorstep all along idk why i never went to see it#it was placed at a corner in the gallery. me and my friend sat down and sketched the paintings of beautiful naked people quite badly. paper#provided by tate britain. she told me about how she couldnt look her boyfriend in the face after a harrowing film about war. when i say the#interview was informal i mean the person who was supposed to be my boss told me let me get you a cider and then he said after#50 years of life he knows people are inherently good and it only takes a little bit of kindness to save this world. he said he tricked#his wife into keeping the baby and then he said he quit his job at a US bank to help people find meaning and in it#he would have liked to find meaning. instead he started climbing with his friends. he said he chews his cigarettes because its a habit from#when he had to hide things from people. the entire time i felt uncomfortable and incredibly enlightened. this is my friends mentor. she has#his pattern of pauses and expletive and penchant for ends-justify-means attitude. i do think im not very clever#but maybe one day i will love you enough to make up for it. i wrote code i dont understand staring at the final error i thought about how#we both thought of how when we're too old to remember the voices of our friends we would like to stand in the pathway of the LHC beam pipe#cut it open and eat light in the freezing cold vacuum (kills you long before radiation will) the invisible puncture wound unfolding dna#back to the start larger than you ever were. you go to heaven once youve been to hell. my friend is in my bed#practicing calculations of eigenvectors by hand and she is uninterested in a visual proof you are uninterested in incompetence#we catch a train this is your kind of burden you tragic hero wincing at that word you only do this because you have to. im the only one#who can. i am a coward in this for the fucking poetry. the visual proofs. the pretty numbers. an architect who was horrible at maths wanted#to be a philosopher and accidentally ended up neck in deep in 70th Error On Visual Studio Code i want to kiss your eyes before we say#goodbye we both know there is no love in the way there should be. I still have your dress in my wardrobe. i hope you make art.#you think im alright head-wise i think you fucking hate me i think ill never be so clever you want me to tell you my idea?#if you wanted more of this world i would have liked to kiss you harder. we cant both be like this. im sorry i cant be with you the whole wa#the love is gone if you have to ask it. his breath catches his eyes feel stiff it is -1.9 kelvin he is near the beam pipe i miss holding#his hand i miss her singing voice i miss his hair and i found the antonym of pain thank you for carrying me home.

so like if u even care… i wrote the gospel on giving up (you look pretty sinking), but the real bombshells have already sunk (prima-donnas of the gutter). At night, we’re painting your trash gold while you sleep, crashing not like hips or cars but more like parties… also, like, bandwagons full, please catch another :/
#this is some of petes most clever witty songwriting if i do say so myself i am so obsessed w it. i love u this aint a scene#especially this bandwagons full please catch another which is why i included it like HELLLO???? wordplay. i love his brain#txt

why smallville luthor look like mirra andreeva
initially laughed and went 'no she doesn't', then checked and... anon, you may be onto something
#i love mirra btw. her and her sister#im actually a very early adopter. i was watching her sister's itf matches in 2022. tapped into her quali streams#a bit concerned she doesn't have the weapons/physicality to be a true top top player#but she's a proper tennis nerd she's clever she's funny she's dramatic she has a temper she's a mess... what more can u want#dasha looking out for her >>>>>>>#clearly she's been adopted by the lesbians idk what to tell u#that being said whenever i actually adopt a tennis ''''prodigy'''' they inevitably turn out to actually be mid so. here we are#i can't glory hunt for shit it's actually tragic. holgah's career has still not recovered from me becoming his fan#//#batsplat responds#racquet tag#this is why i'm half expecting acosta will actually turn out to not be all that btw#i become fond of them the more i see them flop and then am surprised when they're mid like. girl. cause and effect relationship

oh my god…. the grip the great (tv show) has on me…… unexpected + incredibly welcome
#!!!!!! it’s so good oh my god#i just finished season 2 and that finale…. jesus lrod#lord* i just love how messy everything is!!!! how they built catherine + peter’s relationship so well#how peter actually has a redemption arc throughout the entire season#and how everything just fucking works!!!!#he literally just said on the last episode: ‘why can’t she just love me for who i am’ and that’s ut#it* that’s the thesis of the show. Catherine loves him when he starts to change and better himself FOR her#but at the core he’s still who he is#like . literally he started changing things about himself not really wanting it but bc he had to … but whilst doing it#he really started changing and realizing that he likes it better#for example when he couldn’t stop himself from being a dickhead to a kid or his friends and he couldn’t stop apologizing right after#1) thats fucking funny but 2) it’s also really clever and subtle writing#i just. i think i need to write a lot about peter lmao#the great

Has anyone read Fourth Wing translated into another language and did you agree with the Violet/Violence nickname translations in said language? Because I'm reading through the Bulgarian version rn and they. Fucking transliterated it??? With a FOOTNOTE??? Explaining what Violence means in English??? Even though it's not a one-time thing but a recurring nickname and the use of Sudden English Word in-text in what's meant to be flirty, charged and tender moments later is fucking jarring??? I am Shaking With Rage.
#fourth wing#the empyrean#like okay I get it translation is subjective and localising puns and other wordplay is nigh impossible#and even if you localize the terms there will always be a portion of the readers upset with you for 'changing it'#but that's the nature of translation. because translation is also a type of Fucking Art#you could have done something clever with it! something playful and sweet and a lil mocking and flirty#and then if you're so damn upset about losing the Violet/Violence thing just put THAT in a FOOTNOTE#explaining the intentions of the original text and why you've chenged it#this is like if in Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets voldemort rearranges his name for Harry to spell out#'I am Lord Voldemort' but use his English name so the letters don't fit and then in a footnote explain that#oh well IN ENGLISH IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE- like stfu??? are you or are you not a translator?? do you or do you not know#how to use creative liberties when faced with a phrase that doesn't have a direct translation from one language to another???#wtf are they teaching you in class how to become google translate??? don't translate the words translate The Vibes! The Rhetorical Devices!!#istg this is fucking ridiculous I almost quit the damn book over this I will never psychologically recover

me, thinking that i have at least a base level understanding of botw: :)
blue, about to write a 1,000+ word essay that is going to completely revamp my understanding of the game and interpretation of its events: bada bing bada boom
i dont know how you do it. i am incredibly impressed and using all of this for fic inspiration. keep writing
every time someone asks me how i do this shit i have to regrettably inform them that the real genuine answer is that i am fucking insane. my 2 passions in life are writing and video games and the place where the 2 converge fascinates me to no end and i am that special kind of crazy that is capable of latching onto something and not thinking about anything else for 10 years. so. the only thing i have cared about deeply for the last several years of my life has been the way video games are written and constructed. and zelda is one of the most interestingly constructed franchises i have found to date. these games are just like. the absolute perfect story for my brain to work with and i truly do not know who i would be without them. and i am genuinely incredibly grateful that ive been able to build a platform where people like. CARE about what i have to say and take the time to ask me to think about the games because like. i would be doing it ANYWAY but knowing that there are people who actually read my analysis and appreciate the amount of thought i put into this stuff makes me really happy lol
#i sincerely think video games are an art form and that so many stories benefit from being told interactively via video games#and i'm especially fascinated with the way loz chooses to tell its stories because the games are almost always designed so that the player#actively makes every decision in the storyline even though every game only has one preset ending. that's SO COOL.#ive found myself frustrated recently by rpgs that are super cutscene heavy and i was struggling to articulate why until i went back and#looked critically at the way zelda games are designed and i realized that there isn't a single cutscene in loz that openly takes away the#player's autonomy. cutscenes are almost always reserved for dialog or the beginnings of fight scenes but link almost never makes choices#without the player's input and that's a huge part of what keeps the games engaging! YOU are link. he's not a vessel you occasionally#control. he is you. his decisions are always yours.#and that's generally easier to do with a less complex storyline but the way botw kept that autonomy despite its complex story is SO clever#by making the cinematic cutscenes MEMORIES there's never any percieved loss of autonomy because the player understands that this is#something that has already happened so obviously there's no way they can alter link's choices. that's SO SMART#ANYWAY. i didn't mean for this to be a tag essay about video game mechanics sorry but tldr i am so so so passionate about this LOL#if you cant tell. very few people irl will listen to me talk for this long. this is why i love tumblr#asks

your queue tag is the best every time I see one of your queued posts i start hearing "iiiits aaaalll in hooowww you miiix the two" it's the best i love that song sm
hahaha that's fuckin great that you hear the song. it's been my queue tag since was like 13 and honestly the last week or so i've on-and-off considered changing it but i'm defo 100% keeping it now ! blue and yellow has always been one of my favs of theirs so i'm glad it's being appreciated
#tragically i have massively gone off of them since the gig last year. i still listen to them (mainly stuff of vulnerable through to the#canyon) but it's no where near like i used to which is why i was thinking of changing it#but i also love clever little wordplay and rhyming. i am so proud of little me for that one
