we need to abolish the idea that ancient greek myths and legend have a coherent timeline. they do not. for any given myth there are like 10 heroes mentioned that feasibly could not have been adults or even alive. herakles keeps showing up in places where he should probably be dead. anyone could be a suitor of helen. even herakles. even theseus if you count that kidnapping stint he did. nestor is alive for 10 billion years. time is fake and anything beyond vague generational outlines is conjecture
#the thing about classical studies is sometimes you gotta just accept that sometimes We Dont Fucking Know#a majority of our sources are GONE. we don’t have the full picture and its impossible to make definite statements off fragmentary evidence#is achilles older than patroclus? is he younger? NO IDEA. myth is a fluid tradition. who give a shit#all that matters is: is this guy the same general age range? is he young enough that hes got less respect? is he old enough to earn respect?#and if anyone cites wikipedia at me for this post im killing them with lasers#tagamemnon

Since word of god says the high evolutionary lived and is being held captive at nowhere, I’m convinced rocket stops by his cell every so often to bully him.

If I don't lose motivation for it, there's going to come a point in Interlude where Frederick, who has since been nicknamed Badguy by like the US government or whatever for blowing up Gear research facilities, introduces himself as just "Badguy" to someone, somewhere, and I'm going to have to contend with the fact that he very probably said it with a straight face and full, unblinking, eye contact.
It's so silly. He's got to know that's a silly name to go by. "Yeah I'm a bounty hunter and I blow shit up because I'm a real Bad Dude™️." Come on... But also... Sol does have a really dorky sense of humor so... Maybe that's the joke. He knows it's goofy and he's forcing everyone else to use it but then he used it for too long and the goofy factor has long worn off except now he's stuck with it
#textpost#NGL THAT'S HOW IT WENT DOWN WITH MY SOLRADGUY HANDLE LOL#'Ha ha silly shitpost OH no one had this url already..??? HMM.... Ok I'll use it for a little bit'#*several big translation projects and gaming news articles later*#'Well. Guess I can't change it now'#It's so funny I think I've laughed literally every single time I had to introduce myself/my scanlations as Sol Radguy when it was over voic#The only thing I don't like about this handle is that I think handles that kinda brag about the person using them aren't great#Like handles with king/queen or '[x name] Is Awesome/cool/great/etc' or whatever you know?#You gotta earn a name like that. It's like you can't demand respect you gotta work up towards it#Sol Radguy was just an intended temporary joke that I ended up becoming hahah#I don't necessarily think I'm rad except maybe in a like 1980s retrowave aesthetic way perhaps#So I hope people don't look at it and think that I'm trying to say I'm hot shit or something

Not much has been shared yet for the Nicky day of the week which has me thinking that *I* wanna draw a Nicky to share but... That would require... Drawing and... Liking what I draw...
#I should draw though it's been a minute#I wanna draw Sparrow too... maybe even a demon Sparrow...#:/ But unfortunately to get better at art you gotta make more of the art#And it's hard for me to not get discouraged very quickly#And I'm always so embarrassed when I do share my drawings lmao#That's why I don't use an art tag- don't want people finding that shit lmao#Props to gigi though for scavenging my blog like a raccoon for an oldish glenn sketch that one time tho LMAO#She earned that#:0 I still mostly like that Nicky I have as my banner but I feel like I've never been as pleased with a drawing I've done of him since#Oh Cal if you're reading this- you were talking the other day about wishing you were more of a writer to express what visual art can't#And I *totally* felt that from the opposite end LOL#(I do get insecure about my writing but like not as much) like ''THIS WOULDN'T WORK AS A FIC THIS WAS MEANT TO BE A 4 PANEL COMIC"#Or just like ''I want to *show* you this character design'' not idk. Write about it.#Also I can keep my attention drawing for much longer than writing lol- writing fiction anyways#Man. ANYWAYS.

the most annoying part of "ITS ALL SCRIPTED SHES GONNA GET THE BELT AND HER TITLE BACK ANYWAYS" is that it ignores the real work the titleholders put in. wwe is scripted and for show but... like. you still gotta fight for your spot in the storylines. you still gotta be GOOD and you still gotta give wwe smth. they dont just choose willy nilly.
rhea has skill and talent and its still so fucking sad this happened bc at the end of the day, its a real injury that she has. this is a real sort of stepping away from being a major role in wwe until she recovers. she still earned that spot that she had to step away from
#txt#some wwe fans are insane to me. they dont just choose random wrestlers to put in her role#you can tell shes good at what she does. between strength and skill and CHARISMA she earned that role#im sure theres been manufactured 'underdog to champ' storylines but you still gotta#like you still gotta AT LEAST be charismatic#idk i feel like ppl are so jaded abt rhea being rly popular or smth bc i never have seen this shit abt the men#even as a kid. i had super wwe parents and family and all pf them liked different wrestlers#and still never discredited anyone else bc theres still a LOT of work that goes into it even if the fights are fake

have discovered a new enemy while doing research for the honours essay. why are you pretending to understand psychology and BLATANTLY misinterpreting actual terms and concepts in order to tear down a movie aimed at teenage girls, my good bitch. i'm going to start biting
#you got the WRONG BITCH bc you just hit on two of my biggest interests (zombie movies and psychology) at once#FIRST of all. you dont have the credentials to be talking abt this and it shows bc why dont you know what psychotic means!!#simple shit!! you want to pretend you know psychology dont fuck up psychopathology psychopathy and psychosis! all different things!#you can BARELY conceive of narcissism. a one off joke about how a character recognizes his flaws and wishes he was respected more#is NOT proof to label someone as a fucking narcissist oh my god. id actually argue the complete opposite#you are accusing A Zombie of being abusive based on (checks notes) being scary looking eating brains and /protecting a girl/#bc uhhhhhhh smth smth dark triad smth smth twi/ight#last time i checked thats literally just fucking normal ass zombie shit + him being NICE!!#its not male gaze 'ocular aggression' bestie he cant blink. hes dead.#talking about how the zombie is unrepentantly creepy when he Literally worries about coming off as creepy In The Movie out loud#SECONDLY to circle back why are you so stressed about twilight. thats not even the subject of the chapter#(there are good critiques of those movies but this is not that)#your book came out in 2015 why were you still shitting your pants and crying that girls were having fun 3yrs ago at the EARLIEST#reaching so fucking hard to 'um ackshewally [thing that teenage girls like] bad' im shocked you didnt throw your fuckin back out#your arguments are nonsensical your positions reveal an alarming level of sexism and you should be ashamed#levi.txt#believe it or not im having fun rn. im funny complaining not angry complaining#w@rm b0dies isnt a Good movie but i will go to bat for it actually. let teenage girls have fun garbage#god knows adult men have enough of their own to choose from ESP in this genre#and its a movie that has a lot of interesting shit someone could analyze!! im focusing on it as a representation of changing feminism#but id love to see a reading of its portrayal of zombiehood as disability + its cure narrative#or critiquing how it writes its female characters bc admittedly theyre bad ngl#or on how survival is represented in comparison to films like zomb!e/and (which i also love) where you 'earn' survival with competence!#genuinely there is even smth to be said for the problematic nature of the brain eating element. id be intrigued by that paper#i dont think its much worse than the play the movie is based on? but its not nothing#it Is ultimately a little bit fucked up and i dont think the movie explores it enough#but noooooo we gotta talk about how the zombie is a narcissistic abuser bc of the brain eating. ok

ohyea actually the dennis and dee dynamic is SO fun to write i love them dearly
#all this time i couldve been writing about them instead of the goofyass macden fic i was agonizing over#why struggle to mend a dynamic that has slowly begun to piss you off as the seasons progress when you can just#write dumbass sibling dynamics instead#charden is good because it allows dennis to be more genuine than he gets to be with anyone else but#with dennis and dee there are layers of. cautious protective measures#if either open up too much they know that it'll come back to bite them in the ass#so drawing out the truth is like pulling teeth. they can't just talk openly about some shit that's bothering them#ada speaks#no free leverage for you its gotta be EARNED you gotta read between the lines bitch#luckily they Get each other in that sibling way so inference works

It is very important to me that Lo and @moonspower's Vi are only able to get each other's skin and bug the hell out of each other because they're siblings
and they're siblings because, despite having vastly different backgrounds (both in terms of economic/social status and Origin of Their Divinity), they still see, hear and respect each other's experiences and try to extend their hand to each other, still say
"I may not always understand, but I will witness you. The universe is a yawning maw of apathy and in this world that has not been kind to us, we can choose to be kind to each other"
and then Vi makes fun of Lo for liking Agent 47 in that terrible Hitman movie.

Real talk I dont think ai art should accrue any value as time goes on like art made by a person, think they should stay however much they cost to make which is $0
#my stuff#sprry im so mad about this#think ill only be buying comms from friends/vetted artists i know or artists my friends reccomend#think if i dropped actual money on something that turned out to be ai art id fucking go apeshit#and do so mnay fucking chargebacks i swear to god#why would i pay hard earned money for shit you did no work for?#for shitthats basically stolen art mashed into an abomination against creativity as a whole?#could not be me#anyways i gotta see if a muts comms r open and how much money i gotta save up brb

JSHSHEOKEKWKJEBDJE i was originally thinking about tagging that post with mara but i couldn't decide on if it would be ooc for her to call finnian her beloved child. meanwhile dusk is a failwoman and a deadbeat mother but i think she has some capability to think "it would be wrong to do this" before doing it anyway, as well as at least some love for castor. experimental particle-beam weapon aside.
DFLKGJFD:LGJFDL:GFD G LOVE THSI ANALYSIS OF THEM. youre absolutely right btw she did hesitate before leaving because yknow. oh thats my child and ive already lost my other children do i really want to lose this one too. and then go of course i am!
#dusk is like. kinda like faye valentine to me except shes a pokemon and a deadbeat mom and not a bounty hunter#in that like. she thinks shes a girlboss she thinks shes hot shit she thinks shes always in control#but most of her actions really just kinda show that shes sorta... pathetic#that one scene where faye looks at the fridge and theres only dog food and ein is lookiing at her kindly#and it seems like shes gonna give it to him and she gives a kind look but then she eats the dog food#and shes like ''ha ha you gotta earn your keep. survival of the fittest yayyyyy'' and walks away all cool#but shes eating fucking dog food so it ruins the illusion that shes like some sassy bad bitch#thats dusk. thats dusk. all the way thats the epitome of her character to me#mail#daruks

I’m tired of my coworkers not finishing the work they promised and leaving the team scrambling to create curriculum last minute I’m tired of doing the brunt of the work for three different courses when my coworkers are only teaching the one course I’m tired of my coworkers using the work I created and the data I compiled on their gradwork that’ll justify an increase in their pay when I get no pay increases for my own work I’m tired of the workload I’m tired of the hypocrisy I’m tired of the lack of compensation I’m tired of the burnout of education
#personal#why would anyone stay in public education at this point#it’s crushing me#i wish the students were the only stressors#it makes sense when a teenager doesn’t have their shit together#why do i gotta run disaster relief for my coworkers who have higher degrees and get paid more than i do#why do i gotta pay a bunch of money and sacrifice two years of free time to earn comparable pay when my work is so much better#why my coworkers get a masters and get worse at their job like?????#please just finish creating an assignment when you say you’re gonna do it#i can’t very well stare at my students and admit that the test grade assignment our team was supposed to share didn’t get done#i hate making shit up on the spot and watching all the flaws show as the kids try to complete the work#i can’t stay in this field#too much work for no money#and people keep leaving me looking like a fool in front an entire classroom of kids#or scrambling to do work on the weekends like any pay or benefits here justify that kind of overtime#godDAMN
