The Nobleman or 양반 (yangban): The smiling face represents the bluff and composure that an aristocrat is often known to have. The chin is a separate piece from the top of the mask, and the actors can lean forward and back to make the mask smile or frown as needed.
This monk who abandons his doctrines, or 취발이 (chwibari): Chwibari was originally a monk, but he had no intention of joining the monastic order, so he came down to the world and wanders. Represented with a forehead full of wrinkles and spots.
The widow or, 부네 (Punae/bune): represented to be a widow, or a kisaeng ( a woman who sang, danced, or played an instrument to provide entertainment for company at a drinking party), or a mistress of the Yangban. She has a very small mouth, round cheeks and forehead- giving a general look of happiness good-humor.
#skz#stray kids#skzedit#bystay#obligatory i am no expert take it with a grain of salt blah blah#theres no changbin bc you cant see the mask clearly and no hyunjin because as best I can figure his mask is a General/high ranking official#but most of those are modern productions and dont have any real descriptions or anything.#these plays were made to mock the upper classes so the nobleman is p much always treated like a fool or bastard lol#also these all change depending on the location- so like the chwibari is usually a negative portrayal of a monk who drinks and parties#and isnt very... monk-ly lets say- but then theres a story where he saves his lover from a lecherous monk and they get married so 🤷♀️#he wasnt a monk that iteration though or he abandoned his studies ?#and then the widow/concubine varies from sympathetic young widow to a kinda femme fatale who seduces the nobleman/scholars#Will any of this play into the concept? probably not. they dont really commit to concepts lbr#but still! it was interesting to look into and the masks are pretty to boot so this was fun :)#it'd be cool if they did a mask dance. i always loved thunderous for the traditional elements so i hope that happens#also YEAH a korean seungmin girl saying she was sad the foreign fans wouldnt get the significance bc she wants to see 'secondary art'#did inspire this (of course i'd wanna know why he was the only one given a womans mask dont act surprised)#bc im pretty sure i know what she means by secondary art and LMAO#i see right through you.... and into myself maybe#long post

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

the fact that the only Albinauric in the dlc is a r*d*hn dick sucker will forever piss me off

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

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
