#yes I am a nerd

[cantuscorvi]

Since we're being slandered by @kisumitenderly and @asinusxdomi by the idea that Raum only wears grey/black/navy tones I'm gonna lay the facts down here. Raum organises his wardrobe colour by seasons. Obviously there is some variation depending on occasions ( ie. dress code ) and simply what he just feels like wearing, but these are the most likely colours you would see in each season.

Spring — light grey, cream, white, any pinks or yellows, light blue

Summer — white, navy, tan, light green, any reds

Autumn — any browns, beige, deep green, burgundy

Winter — black, deep grey, navy, any purples

He understands what colours suit him, and usually that is not a true black, or many strong dark colours, because of his complexion. At the same time he doesn't wear many very loud colours because of his profession and his personality. For example, a strong yellow would be left to simple detail like pocket square or tie, but a soft yellow is okay for a shirt. In all, the colour palette of his entire wardrobe would look something like this.

I wrote a kind of abridged version of this when I made a hc about Raum's seasonal outfits; which is here.

Look what I got! It’s a model of Donatello from the 1984 comics- when they all wore red masks!

I showed it to my mom- and she goes “Honey, that’s Raphael.” So I explained to her the history of all the turtles. (She looked at me like I was the world’s biggest nerd, which is fair enough.)

It was $30 but totally worth it.

It also includes a comic with Donatello’s best moments EVER in the comics :]

I get to do a Greek myth presentation for my exam. Hahah..Fear me. I wrote the whole thing down in a single lesson (This project was meant to take 4 lessons in total)

The whole time I don’t think I blinked

Only Zeus himself can smite me down. I call it ‘Godly hyperfixation’ others call it ‘Diagnosed Autism’

People who are seeing this, enjoy my lovely ramble about video games/video game graphics!

Now, I just wanted to start off with saying that I think it's kind of crazy how advanced some games are. Starting with the character designs all the way down to the game itself, it's kind of crazy. I recently thought about this because of a screenshot I took from Devil May Cry 5. I just can't even explain how beautiful this looks to me.

I currently have this screenshot as my wallpaper on like everything. I've always loved how the Devil May Cry game's look. Of course, most of them are pretty old so they don't look insanely modern, but they're still so fun to look at. I love the scenery in Devil May Cry 4 when you get into the forest.

This section just makes me so happy. It almost gives this feeling of comfort even though they made an attempt to help it seem abandoned. This forest reminds me of those liminal spaces for some reason. It's just the small things that bring me that comfort. Of course, Nero sticks out like a sore thumb in this area, but I still really enjoyed seeing it while playing the game.

Another game that I LOVE the scenery to is Resident Evil: Village (8). The game itself isn't great (I know I'm sorry 😭), but I still enjoyed looking around while playing. The small details that they really paid attention to helps it a lot. There are some things that were added that most probably don't notice, yet the section would be different without it. I know this is a basic answer, but my personal favorite area is Castle Dimitrescu.

Like-- LOOK AT THIS?? It looks absolutely beautiful! The fog, the lighting, the models. I just love it so much. The things Capcom does for their games, especially the Resident Evil ones, is insane. Their RE Engine is such a cool software (that I suck at using!) I just really love Capcom. Their games are great gameplay wise + design wise. They're an awesome game making company, and if you don't know much about them (you probably do because we're here but whatever), I really recommend checking out some of their games! New and old games both seem to still really get that good feeling you get from playing a video game.

Thank you for listening to my ramble. 😁

Saw this screenshot of Mulder’s paycheck in the episode Monday. His gross pay was $1792 in 1999. Adjusted for inflation that is $3,310 today. Let’s say this is a biweekly pay check, this means his annual gross pay about $86k. Let’s say he is in the 24% tax bracket then that means his annual salary is about $113k give or take withholdings. Not bad for a G-Man. This seems on par with what Glassdoor lists for Special Agent salaries today. I think he could afford a few more baseball sessions with Scully!

We need the water lore

It’s ok gamers is me the McEpic science man McEpel. Water isn’t wet but it feels like it is because of our senses if you didn’t have senses it would probably feel like nothing just a lil cold if the water is cold. If something where wet it would have to be soaked in a liquid or contain a liquid. Water is just the cause of something being wet so water can’t be wet because it can’t be soaked or contain its self!

I went to this antique/second hand shop in Idaho today, I went in with high hopes of finding TMNT stuff, even better ROTTMNT stuff, and my hopes were fulfilled!

They had tons of TMNT stuff, including 2012 stuff and 1987, 2003 and much more!

They only had one Rise thing which was Baron Draxum… and of course I got it.

Here he is :]

CHAT I'VE CAUGHT THE BUG I WANNA START COLLECTING DICE NOW BUT IDK WHERE TO BEGIN

So I don't have many options in terms of stores in my area BUTTTTTT there's this really cool small store in another place here in my country and it sells a bunch of stuff like figurines, video games, collector's items (including dice) and they do have an online store but I'm not fully sure about the prices 😭😭😭 I could also go on Etsy but my mom doesn't have an account there and doesn't really know how it works (my godmother/aunt does tho cuz she has a shop there but I'm not sure) so that leaves me the option of heading to TEMU KAJSJSHDH (feel free to make fun of me /hj) and it would seem like the best idea for me personally since they actually have a wide variety of dice for good prices and I'll check the ratings and reviews to make sure at least some of them are legit but I still dunno...would my collection still be legit if I bought them off of there? AAAAAAAA

SHAKING MY FIST IN A SOMEWHAT ANNOYED MANNER AT NEIL GAIMAN

I just watched Good Omens season 2 and I'm gonna be ☝🤓 about it for a second bcuz none of my friends watched the show and I cant rant at them (exploding them with my mind rn)

obviously spoiler and unhinged tirade warning

and no im not proof reading any of this

So I got really into the books before it was a show (Im not like other Good omens fans ok) *gets shoved into a locker* So I was pleasantly surprised with the first season because I thought my annoying grinch ahh would hate it. It was faithful to the original but it still made it new and interesting. The themes, story and the vibe was the same. They did put more of a focus on Aziraphale and Crowely and made them slightly softer but it worked and was swag. I also liked what they did with the ending even though it wasn't in the book.

So when season two was announced I was hopeful but also really nervous. The story had come to a logical end (Ig it could continue with a war between humanity and a heaven hell alliance and the end of season one basicallly implied that that would happen but STILL) and then the other writer for the book, Sir Terry Pratchet passed away (SIDE NOTE: i hate when people only mention Gaiman in regards to Good Omens, put some respect on my man Pratchet). I thought a lot of the humour and charm the book originally had was very Pratchetesque and it just wouldn't be the same without him . (no shade to Gaiman btw but yk what i mean)

I found out later (two days ago) that they the two authors had actually discussed a sequel previously and it would probably follow the plot of that heaven/hell vs humanity war, but past me didnt know that ok? my point about it not being the same still stands.

When season 2 came out i didnt watch it for a month bcuz i didnt have amazon prime. But when I eventually BOUGHT MY OWN SUBSCRIPTION AND GOT IT 100% LEGITIMATELY, JEFF BEZOS IF YOU'RE READING THIS PLS DONT COME BEAT ME UP, i finally had no more excuses to put it off.

In the begining (BIBLE REFERENCE?!??) i was really getting into it. Gaiman was POPPING off with those jokes. The naked Gabriel thing was an interesting premise. It was silly, cozy, and comfy.

and then it sort of stayed like that?

Like in Season one the main threat was the literal world ending. In season 2 it was Shaz standing menacingly outside the bookshop? And I know there was the whole threat of them being erased from the book of life, but that was mentioned once and then not really brought up again until the end where all the threats were just resolved in like 15 minutes? In season 1 Heaven and hell were a proper threat, but in season 2 they felt like submissive Beta males for some reason. it just felt kind of low stakes and too easily resolved.

OK so my next part might make some ppl mad (pls dont be mean to me ill cry) so I will preface this with saying: I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST A ROMANCE BETWEEN AZIRAPHALE AND CROWELY HAPPENING IN SEASON 2 lets be honest they were basically married in the book anyway so  💀

However it kind of overpowered the rest of the season. while season 1 was focused on a lot of different characters and plot happening, most of season 2 seemed to focus on their relationship. I did like some of it (that magic show episode was a banger) but no real plot actually happened during that time ( I straight up forgot Gabriel existed).

I also wasn't overly invested in the other romance between Maggie and Nina. It was cute, but it didnt hit like Newton and Anathema did. Gabriel and Beelzebub was cute (should have been me not Gabriel tho), but it was all smooshed into the last episode. It was a bit of an information dump.

The season felt like a different genre, with different stakes and a different overall vibe. Im gonna be honest, at some points it felt kind of... fanfictiony? if thats a good way to put it? It became more of a character driven show.

While I was doing some serious academic research (reading other tumblr blogs) I found out that this season was meant to be more relaxed and a smaller scale compared to season one and an eventual season 3. It was meant to be more focused on characters relationships and getting everyone where they need to be for the final season (which i assume is going to be like the sequel that Pratchet and Giaman planned ages ago). And it was also filmed during the Pandemic which explains its smaller scale.

I have mixed feelings on it. It was an enjoyable season, but it just didnt feel Good-omens-esque, and the fact that Im a ☝🤓 and grew up with book means I cant enjoy it as much as I want to. Im hoping season three will bring back the originals vibes and redeem season 2 for me.

Ok so aside form my main critisim, I also wanna talk abt the charactarisation of Aziraphale and Crowely and the Themes. This ones less of a problem for me but someone pointed it out and now its bothering me a bit.

When I watched the ending I was ready to throw hands with Gaiman himself because I didn't realize that there was gonna be a season three where the conflict was resolved. After I found out I was fine again UNTIL someone pointed out that they felt Aziraphale leaving for heaven was kind of out of character. The main message of season one is that neither heaven nor hell is good and both Aziraphale and Crowely are on their own, and humanities side. Both of them realize that, and theres a whole scene where they make a toast to the world. The fact that Aziraphale suddenly goes all "I can fix him" on heaven seems a bit odd. I've got mixed feelings on this becuase on one hand it is an interesting conflict to have, but it does sort of seem ooc for him to do. Im deciding to rationalize it by saying Aziraphales gone a bit silly and goofy from all the stress thats happening.

Someone else pointed out that the fact that Aziraphale and crowely met when they were both angels kind of ruins the significance that they became 'friends' despite being on opposite sides. I kind of see this point too, and I did prefer their first meeting being in the garden of eden (mainly becuase it was funnier) but im choosing to interpret this as they were aquintances as angels and only got to know eachother later.

Im just putting my trust in Neil Gaiman and Season 3

OK ITS OVER. Most people probably dont care all that much because they touch grass and go outside, but I just wanted to rant becuase something about it was really bothering me. If you actually read this far im giving you a gold star and a platonic forhead smooch. ALSO PLS FEEL FREE TO BULLY ME FOR MY TAKES BCUZ I REALLY WANT TO ENJOY THIS THIS SEASON AND MAYBE A DIFF PERSPECTIVE WILL HELP. OK BYE
