I certainly have my own concerns about the treatment of moo deng but um. well i think some of you may just be racist
#this ^ isn't directed at any post in particular but instead a lot of comments ive seen. but now im gonna talk about other posts down here#and prefacing anything i put in the tags here with DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH#but the biggest post ive seen going around rn about moo deng being mistreated and the general quality of khao kheow zoo is questionable#claims that the enclosure is mostly concrete seem to be false from all the sources i can find#the concrete section looks like its specifically around the feeding area which fits zoo care guidelines which specify that the feeding area#be a surface that can be easily cleaned separate from the substrate and is a surface present in other zoos#the lack of deep water also seems to be purposeful? older videos of the same enclosure show deeper water areas#and looking back through the news every baby pygmy hippo announcement from every zoo i could find mentioned periods where the baby had to#learn to swim and was slowly introduced from shallow water to deeper water as time passed#this was also corroborated by fowlers zoo and wild animal medicine volume 8 which suggests keeping the mother dry and then slowly#introducing water as the baby grows as a potential best practice#damn im treating this like a paper now. anyway the negatives#there are absolutely things that strike me as bad eg. public access to the hippos and the way the keeper interacts with them#for the keeper stuff in particular i'd really like to see input from someone who has experience as a zookeeper with pygmy hippos#the public access is something that i def think the zoo could improve on and even older footage from years ago shows people sticking like#selfie sticks and shit off the side of the railings and right into the hippos faces#however again the zoo seems to be making efforts to curb visitor behavior which is tough when you go from having 800 visitors a day to#4000+ and you can't remodel the whole exhibit right then and there#all this to say! just do your own research and take somewhat inflammatory comments on the internet with a grain of salt#also just to make it clear im not making any sweeping statements on khao kheow or the treatment of moo deng im just summarizing what i foun#based on what's being said in the most popular post on the subject ive seen.#for the potential like three people who will read all this hi :) hope ur having a nice day

genuinely
the fact that the only Albinauric in the dlc is a r*d*hn dick sucker will forever piss me off
#i know im being crude and filled with spite rn#BUT STILL#fromsoft while making sotè: alright know how can we make this a lore satisfying and awesome dlc as per our reputation?#mikalzaki: radhán#fromsoft: wait what??????#mikalzaki: RADÁHN!!!!!#fromsoft: but that literally makes no sense??????#mikalzaki: dont care retcon EVERYTHING#*and so the dlc was ass 😔*#literally#you rob miq of the right to be his own character by making him a rad simp#and then you do insult to injury/salt in the wound by making the only albinauric in the dlc#a race of people who hold heavy faith in míquella and see him and his haligtree as their promised land#AND THEN HAVE ONE OF HIS ITEMS BE AN ABELIST AND RASCIST JOKE??????#gaíus is a cop and a class traitor#i will die mad#uri rants

Just saw someone on TikTok deadass use the AI search engine top result on Google as a source for a point they were trying to prove. At this point just throw out the whole internet, I’ve seen enough
#as a former ib student this is making me irrationally angry#yes officer this one right here they used the least reliable source possible#i don’t understand how someone can flaunt their ignorance like that#why are you proudly letting people know you didn’t do any research beyond a 2 second google search#i had to block them it was so dumb#my brain cells committed group suicide upon seeing that#this is why anytime i share smth i saw on social media i remind ppl to take it with a grain of salt#they were an adult too so like??? have they not been through high school??? or to college???#i hate it here

also I had a breakthrough today that I had in fact overthought a Specific Problem to Death and that I had created a monster in my own mind and that’s why it felt like I was being eaten alive every time I tried to solve it.
#not to put too fine a point on it but that’s what happened with the whole is Maria going to become a nun question tbh#and I needed a counselor to say to me objectively and yet also crucially without any knowledge of me or my past:#you have overthought this and now you’re terrified of it#anyway it’s so obvious but it came home to me today. slowly.#like it was just like. Oh. You did it again#you’re terrified of this because you have thought of every possibility and every outcome and every twist and turn and shadow—-#until it has become a bloated demon in your mind that is totally separated from reality#while made up of real facts and details! and tbh I know it’s a common problem#but the anxiety chokehold I can put myself in is something that is so impressive and so disturbing#I can render myself absolutely helpless through the meanderings of my own thoughts#and what makes it worse—immeasurably worse—is that I get OUT of problems through careful thought and analysis#I’m programmed that way#so I can’t escape it by the usual means. I have to back away from the monster and see it and NAME it and then it can die away.#and only THEN can I apply my usual ways of going about things. I don’t know it just all clicked today#these past few days have just been bringing it all to a fever pitch for me#anyway I guess it’s also important to me that I still be allowed to be analytical about it!!! I have to use my brain!!!!!!!#in my desperation I have tried to shut it off to feel only with my heart. To try to catch the whisper of God’s voice in the wind#but tbh I am meant to use the gifts I have! But only in the right context#and that’s only after the demon has been killed or more accurately —deflated#my counselor has been so good about this tbh. she’s so matter of fact and blunt and salt of the earth and also she sees how my mind works#and wants me to be able to use it!!#so I’m just going to tell her that I did the bad thing with this other problem and can she help me find a way forward#ANYWAY THE MONSTERS TURNED OUT TO BE JUST TREES

i feel like commentary youtube has a subsect of videos that come down to 'this could have been a tumblr vent post'
#i have thoughts on commentarytube in general. it's my guilty pleasure but also i take it with SUCH a grain of salt#so i'm going to make a tumblr vent post about it instead of a commentary video about commentarytube skdjskjdsk#i feel like it's a place for opinionated people to act like their opinions are fact a lot of the time#bc like. if they have a platform then SURELY they know what they're talking about. right? /sarcastic#i feel like the best ones are the ones with a niche they really care about#and not just 'let me spectate whatever gets me clicks this week'#like. i enjoy isabella lanter's commentary. she talks about scams and mlms and you can tell she cares about the topic#and is well-versed in it#and she stays in her niche and stays in what she knows well. and i think her videos really benefit from her obvious love of the topic#or treacle tatts. she is obviously very well-versed in her niche!!!!#not to say people can't branch out but i think when you branch out for the algorithm's sake your vid quality suffers from it#but i'm not a youtuber and they need a paycheck too and the algorithm is god on yt. so. shrug.#mildly salty opinion hour over. using my one discourse take of the month early here. see yall in june lmao

i do think the most interesting interpretation of btvs lore is that non-vampire demons and mystical entities ALL have souls, unless they sold, destroyed or otherwise got rid of them (like the mayor)
#because first of all: it gives a potential explanation for why there is a VAMPIRE slayer who specializes in vamps and not just a ''slayer''#like why vampires are singled out in particular. if its because they are in some inherent way crueler more evil less human less worthy#than at least the average demon altho not the most terrible demons. and that kind of checks!! plenty of demons seem to be fairly chill#amoral maybe and have weird diets but not necessarily Big Bads. whereas all vampires by definition drain humans of blood for fun and profit#second: it explains a lot about anya in particular - i'm thinking of two things in s7 when she's a-venging again#1. when she sees spike's soul in his eyes and is Shocked. not the face of a woman who has never seen a soul in the eyes of a demon before#2. no one is like ''oh anya has a soul!!! you cant slay her'' or ''how can you be a demon again when you have a soul wahhh''#i bet everyone just knows she has a soul. she's had a soul the whole time. everyone knows that. everyone's been knowing that.#third: it explains Why Angel And Spike Are Such Frickin Big Deals lmaoooo#the whole ''vampire with a soul'' thing isnt understood by buffy in s1 - angel tells her about it and she's like okay sure. try harder#the concept of ''souls'' being ''something'' that one ''has'' is like so ... it ONLY MAKES SENSE if vampires are KNOWN to NOT HAVE SOULS!!!#like imagine youre a demon or w/e and some master vamp comes along and youre like ''oh shit'' and he's like nah man ... ive got my Soul#and youre like ''oh SHIT. i didnt know you could do that''#vaguely related point: i think something people in fandom have always struggled with (''struggled with'' is the nice way of phrasing)#is the idea that in buffy's mind vampire with soul = good / vampire without soul = bad ALWAYS NO EXCEPTIONS#and like. theres so much nuance there. nuance number one being that buffy anne summers is the Queen Of Black And White Thinking#and we gotta take what she says with a grain of salt. nuance number two being obviously bad people can do good things and vice versa#nuance number three is that she's kinda right? if you have no true moral compass AND no true empathy AND delight in causing pain You're Bad#anyway i think this take ^^^^ about demons having souls and the people of btvs being aware of this lends EVEN MORE NUANCE!!!#because people in fandom love being like ..... buffy would kill anything without a soul. and protect anything with a soul. which tbh#i think is a deliberate misunderstanding of the source material. buffy would kill anything that harms humans and will protect#anyone that is human. thats her fucking job lmaoooooooooooooo its her calling in life. get bent#i'm ending the tag spiral here <3#it's terribly simple

this shit aint even green and yet my brain still somehow went right to yk2 i can never escape
#snap chats#im a simpel man i see a colored overlay filter over anything and i go Yakuza Kiwami 2#the movie's prometheus. if you care about what im watching while i color.#do people hate yk2 again cause i saw a stray tweet or two crackin bout it but its died down since#looking at rggtwt some days is genuinely the funniest thing ever i feel like an alien now#i know what im seeing but now that my feed has Other Things on it more often im like. girl whats going on in there#like its very much the usual but now that ive stepped away In Some Regard its just funny#ill be back for stream tho. my vacation days are almost up friday is almost upon us#everyone talkin bout pirate rgg game and if thats true ill laugh very loud but im also takin that rumor with a pinch of salt#i can wait three days for the truth ... but right now i have to focus on coloring#there is plot giong on in this movie rn and ive only been half paying attention bye bye

#argentina saw trump and went ''yeah we want one of those!''...#this absolutely insane man might become president and fully ruin the country (more than it already is)#which is never fun but even worse when you're queer...#today i'm glad i'm living with dysphoria every day but haven't started T#because as sad and absolutely awful as what i'm about to say is...#i can pretend to be a cis woman for safety...#which is a HORRIBLE thing to say or do#but i don't have to put myself out there trying to get hrt or anything like that#or legally change my name and gender mark while looking like i look... that might get me killed or something#bare in mind everything i'm saying A. hasn't happened yet#and B. is being said by someone with an anxiety disorder who can't see hope right now... so take it with a grain of salt#i'm just scared and i don't like the state of the world right now...#and we were somewhat safe in some aspects here and we're so close to losing them now#i'm scared and hate it here but i'm also broke and can't leave so...#we are where we are where we are i guess#angel talks#personal#sorry for the politics... i'm not going to start posting politics#the point of my blog is to escape the hell that is the real world... but i needed to vent and also you know me i love screaming at the void

grrrrrrrrrr
#the homemade black salt i use thats my great grandmother's recipe and mom makes#its full of spices and is super tasty in itself i use it here because i can put it to any dish without using other spices#and the girl who takes away the maggi packets if you remember shamelessly just asked me for it#mom im scared#like i should've understood right when she asked me that day so its like a complete spice package right you can put it even in maggi#and i said so proudly yes!! you put it any dish i put it in maggi and it turns out tastiest#its just that im not going home anytime soon and the dabba is already less than 1/4#:(#pair pe kulhaadi maar li lol#im scared when girls see your stuff and not only they ask you twice or thrice but make it a habit

ive seen some posts like "xenologue!alcryst is the opposite of canon!alcryst but xenologue!céline is just normal céline but Extreme" but like. i dont think thats whays goin on here exactly
like, lets look at céline, yeah? her canon! character traits are, like, most prominently is her kindness, followed by her devotion to her people, followed by the least shown one, which would be how she's willing to do just about anything to protect her people.
now lests look at alcryst. most notable: his imposter syndrome and utter self hatred, his love/caring/admiration/whatever the word im looking for is for people, specifically his family (esp diamant) (to the point where its his personal skill), and finally, barely shown, he is shown to be... maybe not like full on bloodthirsty but like yknow? (thinking mainly about how he ends up threatening ivy in the chapter 11 post battle talk) (also about how luna (negates/ignore's half of foe's defense and resistance) is a skill locked to him) (probably as a counterpart to sol (which is locked to diamant), but oddly fitting)
in both cases, the second trait at least a little bit informs the first and the third, yeah? so to me it looks like the scale has been reversed, really, rather than their xenologue counterparts being their opposites. like, theey are, but like on the same sliding scale or smth yknow?
#i really hope thats the right accent on her name#mia's mumblings#fire emblem engage#do note that i have been a dumbass in regards to posts about this game before so take all i say with a grain of salt yeah?#tangentially related- i love love love sun and moon symbolism like i cannot talk about it (or much else) due to no thoughts but like#yknow?#~~also smth smth moonlight is just reflected sunlight which in this context- OUCH- but yknow~~#come to think of it. wow i went on a few tangents lmao#dont mind my wording and the typos its 2 in the morning and i have brainrot#also you can see that im not at all normal about alcryst#anyways. excuse my rambling lmao#also speaking of him can we talk. about how several of his exploration/somniel quotes seem to deal with suicidal ideation/thoughts.#i feel like thats important#''how does his (whatever the word is) for people inform his sealf loathing'' constant comparing himself to them negatively whats how

I'm still working on some graphics this evening (banners, divider, insanity, Photoshop kill me but not literally, please)— but I finished her tags for now; I'll work on additional verse and sorts later as they're needed! So here we go: (1/2)
#[ ooc. ] don't try to make it logical or edit your soul according to the fashion. rather; follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.#[ ic. ] like a spider in the center of her web. it has a thousand radiations; and she knows well every quiver of each of them.#[ answered: ooc. ] apologies for interrupting your little get-together. but I’m sure once you’ve heard my request... you’ll forgive me.#[ answered: ic. ] long time no see; astral express crew. i'd like you to make a... destination alteration.#[ psa. ] we all think we have infinite possibilities; but every question and answer is constrained by previous choices.#[ saved. ] … until the record's spinning came to a final stop and those hoarse shrieks were no longer audible. “mission accomplished.”#[ prompts / memes. ] oh you brave and fearless trailblazers. you benevolent nameless. can you really remain indifferent to that?#[ crack. ] if you wanna look for some fun. i won't stop you. i mean after all; elio didn't put it in the script; why would it matter?#[ salt. ] that breathing sensation? remember it.#[ et cetera. ] seems i came at a bad time. / no no; i think you couldn't have timed it better. 23:47:15. very punctual; kafka.#[ self promotion. ] she was born in a spider's web; but never gets caught in one.#[ promotion. ] all space and time are practically infinite. and yet right here; right now: we find ourselves together.

there’s a non-non-zero chance of success though… _(:3 」∠)_
#long depressing rant in the tags incoming ig? take warning!!#maybe it’s bc it’s 3am and i’m tired or maybe it’s bc of the 8-9 hour old fried vermicelli that i just gave up on eating but my head hurts~~#or maybe it could even be bc i spent like 3 hours unpacking my boxes (note: my fam moved last month) instead of chilling like i wanted to…#either way i saw some things while unpacking that i really should’ve left in the distant past and i’m feeling as empty as my stomach pre-米粉#though i did uncover a dogtag i had engraved years ago with nothing but a ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) on it so that was pretty funny#but other than that… i remembered all the weird things i had given up on in the past via the things i unearthed…#like cooking! i unpacked this huge 1k+ page thick cookbook thing and remembered that i had a phase where i liked to cook#then i remembered that i had mistaken salt for sugar while making some meat dish with a ton of soy sauce and byebye cooking confidence :(#and to add to that i also read a past essay of mine about my culture and i remembered my grandma and i. yeah.#and i also saw stuff from my old hobbies that i had to give up on due to money/time constraints and i just. yeah.#and not to forget all the stuff from my former friends… i swear i always get ghosted the moment we affirm that we’re friends lol#am i a walking maxed social link or something? lol? yeah i have no irl friends. none.#i’ve gotten used to it though~ i don’t mind having no friends. it leaves me with more time for myself and my sleep~#it’s just that… sometimes i get the urge to hop over the country border for some ~chewing gum~ shopping… but there’s no one to go with lol#or like when i see interesting-looking events going on at local attractions but there’s no one to check it out with… or something.#and that got me wondering… am i just wasting my life or something? it’s a new year right? so i should make some lifestyle changes too right?#…and so i bought a hairdryer for the first time a few days back. yeah. that’s enough change for 1 year. lol#who needs friends when you can have a nice warm hairdryer? blast away good pal!!!!!!!!!!!!#anyways yeah. that’s my 3am rant of the day. sorry if you read this lol#sunday’s 🧂saltfest🧂#h e lp i forgot to disable rbs on this for a bit i hate 3am brain smmmm </3

Reading Novel Updates spoiler forums makes me so sad bc you see how bland and boring some people are in that they only want to read novels with perfect male leads that treat the main character with 100% politically correct and Twitter feminist approved respect. Flawed men are morally reprehensible in their eyes and are deserving of judgment and death.
#rambles#i eventually want to make a post of manhwa i actually recommend#i read a whole bunch but my list of recommendations is like.... only three so far HAHA#oh wait four#you know like i really shouldn't judge but i am like...#a supporter of the thought that anything and everything reveals a certain aspect of you#i'm not saying one tiny thing can set you up for condemnation#but i do feel that if you judge characters in terms of black and white you treat actual ppl like that in some form#i get that ppl have the right to curate their environment to how they see fit but...#i also have the right to observe and think critically about what i've seen#unfortunately when i tell ppl things like this they think that i'm too judgemental but like#every observation must be taken with a grain of salt#you judge a person based on the whole#but you also cannot ignore the fact that some behaviors almost always point to specific traits#if you deny yourself the right to judge you deny yourself the right to critical thought
