#It's just the process of learning it that sucks

[tswwwit]

omg so when Dipper eventually learns the demonic language, does that mean he and bill can just casually have a conversation?

like they're bantering with each other in English and then Bill brings up something in demonic tongue, and dipper bites back also in demonic tongue and then boom both of them just switched languages without even realizing??

or is it a case of "Dipper understands but can't speak" where he hears conversations, but completely replies back in English 😭

It's the first one! Though it'll take a bit for Dipper to get to the point of true fluency, he's got years to do so - and plenty of motivation to boot.

#answers #Dipper's a smart guy! He picks up the demonic language pretty fast all things considered #It's just the process of learning it that sucks #Bill's a great teacher when he puts his mind to it but he often gets in his own way what with all the double-talk and secrets #It'll take years for Dipper to sort out the homophones from his instruction #Other demons manage to be even *less* reliable resources. Mostly to indirectly mess with Bill #And that's not even getting into the idioms and cultural references and slang #Overall though Dipper does very well for himself #One of a mere handful of humans who know it well. One of whom is Ford who has a good technical grasp. Enough to understand most stuff #Dipper though gets the deep cut. One including a lot more social stuff and wordplay and double-talk #Once Dipper gets into the swing of things he's a full conversationalist #And Bill thinks his accent is *adorable*

There's something so insane to me about being able to create and recreate vintage or even ancient music, clothes, fabrics, building architecture, anything, really.

I watched this video about a lady who knit a WWII-era vest, and it was really unique, because the cable work would eat up yarn, when there were shortages of fibers. This pattern would have likely been used by people to send overseas to soldiers, and now it's being created in a time where this war has been over for generations. What were the people making this pattern thinking of? What about the people making the vest? Could they fathom a world where world wars didn't happen back to back? Could they imagine what peace felt like, or did it fade like a distant memory, a faint friend? All we have now are the remnants of their efforts, a "simple" vest that would warm the bodies of countless people the knitter would never have imagined were here on earth with them.

We're reaching across time to learn about other people - we're reaching our hands out just to grasp anything tangible. And when we've take hold of something, all we can do is say I love you I love you I love you

#positivity #art #i also come across this absolutely stunning woman who collects vintage pieces from the '50s and it's just. it's mind boggling #or how we've found ancient sheet music and have recreated its contents #do you ever think about how we're time travelers #do you ever think about what might be recreated of us in the future #this isn't about nostalgia baiting but about how we learn and process the ways that people in the past lived #you don't have to feel nostalgic for WWII to be intrigued by this (it would be very concerning if one WAS nostalgic for WWII) #i just. i die a little inside because i know i will never know everything... #...i will never know every lottle thing about people in the past especially... #...and i am never completely satisfied because only a very selective amount of things are preserved and remembered... #...i wonder then what 'forgotten' people thought and felt and how they lived... #...especially as individuals or as a small clan of family and friends. i want to know them intomately - as if i myself have become emeshed.. #...does this make sense. i don't just want to know about nobles and kings and the wealthy... #...i want to know what the lacemaker for a king felt making lace for the royals... #...i want to know what the rice field worker thought about when the fields were flooded and they swatted a bug away from their skin... #...i want to know what a mother of a small child thought when churning butter - her baby cooing and making a mess... #...and it sucks sometimes to know that we're time travelers but in a very narrow sense. but i still love what we have got... #...don't get me wrong i love it. but i still grieve that we have lost a lot of history - a lot of people... #...or maybe we have only lost them in the sense that we just haven't located and found them *yet* #anyway i've watched that video multiple times now and i just go absolutely animalistic thinking about it #all of this is complex and i have Plenty of thoughts about that. but at least to me this is what i've seen a lot - a lot of love #and isn't studying this - recreating it and analyzing it - isn't that a form of love? #am i... a nosy person..........

sometimes you know I'm of the opinion that it can be really healthy to seek out and listen to folks who's opinions contradict some of yours, like for instance theres this one youtuber I would sometimes listen to their videos because it was presented entertainingly even if I disagreed with a majority of their takes, but it really feels like they've taken a nose dive into their own ass and their opinions have shifted ever more extreme into their lil bubble world that i cant even watch their stuff anymore, its like... if you are so unwilling to go outside your comfort zone, to engage critically and in good faith with media that may not be to your specific tastes, you really shouldn't even be critiquing media anymore, you're living in an echo chamber and spouting the right buzzwords to win points that don't exist and i hate that that has been the growing trend of fandom as a whole

biases can exist and they have their place in commentary but also when you're turning that bias to pure vitriol against anything deemed "problematic" (as loose as that term gets thrown about) you just shut yourself off from new experiences and opportunities to grow and learn. art in all its forms exists to engage us, and there are more feelings out there than just the 'good' ones

#vree chatter #like im sorry u cant handle conflict in a show aimed at kids that adults can also enjoy #but i think this can be applied as a whole that like!! theres always gonna be stuff that challenges us and its in everyones best interest #if we at least tried to tackle stuff in good faith and failing that going 'this just isnt for me' is something everyone should learn #its ok to not like things! its ok to go yeah this sucks and i dont want them to go this direction #but you dont have to step all over the people who DO want that in the process #also it goes without saying there is nuance to everything including this #THIS IS IN PART ME REMEMBERING SEEING THE TAKE ONCE 'ALL ENEMIES TO LOVERS IS ABUSIVE AND BAD'

the imperfect project you finished is worth infinitely more than the perfect one you didn't because it wasn't good enough for you while you were making it. just btw.

#also FOR THE LOVE OF THE GODS GET A SECOND PAIR OF EYES ON THE THING YOU'RE MAKING #we have posted at least half of the ashes chapters that we actively disliked or at least found mediocre this way #'but-' shut up. 'but-' no. shut the fuck up. just do the fucking thing. Do it crying. Do it sniffling. Do it ugly. Make it and proofread it #Run your hands over the finished product and love the imperfections in the texture. Perfection is not an end goal it is a fucking impossibl #climb. #perfection is those tiktok influencers' featureless faces they spent four hours on that sucks every other bit of their life dry #perfection is those ai models' 'art' that is soulless and renders no actual thought given no love expressed #you want to create yes? then create. stumble full speed towards the finish line and fall flat on your face at the end. #allow yourself to make shitty stuff and you will learn that failure is not a dirty word. You will make something not shitty eventually. #you can breathe. creating is a messy messy thing. allow yourself and your process to be covered in paint.

asking why it's necessary to learn math if you're not going to be a mathematician is like asking why you need to learn to walk if you're not going to be an Olympic track star btw

#if you have ever had to exercise logistical reasoning and analysis then you can thank math for training you #also literally despise when people are like 'what about people with dyscalculia 😡' #as a person with dyscalculia‚ eat shit. we're not fucking stupid??? we literally just need accommodations and altered techniques #we are fully capable of learning to do math we just have to adjust the learning process and be more patient #which sucks. fully. i say that all the time. but we still need to learn to use our brains bro. like. u need to know how to think critically

what are the chances my dad (known music nerd especially when it comes to bass) would be aware of any of the context or lore around Dark Alley

#like would it be super concerning for me to send it to him and go haha emo song but like I relate to it a lot :') #which I feel like saying that HERE is terribly concerning bc of the Lore (Pete post suicide attempt playing the demo to heychris #and the whole ''way too personal to play live'' thing) #but I don't mean it in a suicidal way at all I mean it in the ''looking in the mirror and not liking what you see'' way #like I suck most of the time. I'm negative and mean and it makes me SO angry that the main solution #is to focus on being grateful bc why should I be grateful when it feels like everything sucks?? #and then I blame other people for my own bad behavior and feelings bc I struggle to take responsibility without #trying to explain myself when really I just need to listen and learn from the people trying to help me #and I'm just so so pessimistic and I wish I wasn't. I know I'm a horrible person and my attitude sucks and I hate that #but the LAST thing I want is to die. I just want to be better!! immediately!!! I hate that it's such a slow process!! #I never see any progress!! I just make the same bad choices over and over and then resolve to change again and again #and it just doesn't get better!! I never learn!!! but I want to so so badly!!! #I want to be good and okay and not a jerk to people irl but I hate everything and everything sucks in my perception #and I want SO badly to change that. I don't want to die I want to live and be better!!!! #anyway. how many red flags would it set off if I sent my dad this song

Guess who finally played her favorite touhou game character/setting-wise. which also happens to be the most infuriating,ly hard game in the entire fucking series

sorry i . i need to be feral about this game just bear with me please .

this is my first time listening to the entire ost toghether in a WHILE and holy fuck does it hit different when youre actually playing

fuck yea dude that music sure is c a v e

who gave a first stage boss the right to have such a fucking banger.

I AM EATING THE XYLOPHONE OR WHATEVER HTE FUCK IT IS. ITS SO GOOD OUGHGH KDFJJHKLDFGDFG JADGML

parsee's theme makes me wanna cry thanks zun for making me feel for the most frustrating early game boss ever

yuugi pplease step on me i mean what

i went fucking apeshit just seeing the palace of earth spirits in-game for myself for the first time. the komejis were like,. the first 2hus i got really attached to so yknow im very normal about them i promise. <= proud owner of (bootleg) fumos of both of them

SATORI SATORI SATORI SATORI SATORI SATORI SATORI

i fucking squealed like an idiot when satori maiden started playing . its so. aughhghg <33333

its a damn good thing i'd already listened to Lullaby For Deserted Hell a million times before i played this bc otherwise that stage wouldve made me despise it.

if i ever make it to that extra stage (unlikely bc im struggling to even get through stage 5 on easy) i think ill actually cry . partially bc of the difficulty but also .,. as any of my friends know im totally sane about koishi and Last Remote and Hartmann's Youaki Girl so very normal i promi se all that being said this game pisses me off more than any other game has before. what do you MEAN CONTINUE MAKES ME RESTART THE STAGE AND BOMBS RELY ON POWER LEVEL at the same time tho i am injecting it directly into my bloodstream. Any of my non touhou nerd friends for the love of fuck listen to the Subterranean Animism ost. please . its so good.

#if anyone says jack fucking shit about me using continues i will bite you #game hard. everyones gotta start somewhere and for me that's using continues so i can learn this game before i ever even dream of 1ccing #i just. may have gotten a lil too used to PCB bc its the other one i play the most which at least lets you continue exactly where you were #i still sorta suck at it but at least the process of actually getting better at is a lot less frustrating than th11 #not like im surprised bc i went into this game knowing it was notoriously difficult even for touhou but DAMN #ramble post #touhou 11 #subterranean animism

i only know two Ni doms irl but they're both driving me crazy

#internet people be like “oh ni doms are so mystical and clairvoyant” no they're not #lemme tell you what they are they're ANXIOUS #and they're making me ANXIOUS TOO #i love you ni doms but pls stop predicting your life in 20 years you could die tomorrow #i'm sorry but it's the truth the future holds so many possibilities that can ruin your “vIsIOn” #pls use your inferior Se once pls i beg you i promise you won't die if you live in the moment for 5 minutes #“Bat you don't use Se you can't complain about them” i know but at least i can switch between my Ne and my Si sometimes #one of them (INTJ) says EVERY SINGLE DAY: “i'm gonna do this i'm gonna do that and i also have this project for next month and-” #but he never does anything which translates to “what the hell happened to his Te?” #his Ni must want to choke his Te #and then there's my mother (INFJ) who not only keeps telling everyone what she's gonna do ignoring the fact that Stuff Happens (inf Pe agai #but whenever smth bad happens she always think it's “meant to be” and “part of the process of people's soul growth” #i vent to her and she's like “this is what g0d chose to you as a mission for your soul to evolve" #no wonder jesus was an INFJ as well their Ni-Fe is so pUrPOsE oF LIfE #mom i just wanted to tell you my day sucks idc about my mission on earth i just wanted you to comfort me #i know we all should be kind and avoid being superficial but sometimes shit happens and it's not bc of our spiritual growth or whatever #sometimes life sucks and we don't learn anything with that and sometimes we have to be mean with people #bc they suck or bc they're mean to us #well aNYWAY #tio morcego tá azedo #every cognitive function is amazing on their own way but each one of them will drive you crazy #there's no better type or function: everyone will drive you crazy #today i'm pissed with ni doms tomorrow i could be pissed with se doms which are their opposite types so who knows? #you can't escape it you will want to choke people of all types #if you only hate one or a few types only you're not studying mbti right you have to be pissed off with all types #same with the opposite if you only like one or a few types you're not studying mbti right #you have to love every type with a passion that no one can explain #if you don't get why a type is so special and so annoying at the same type you're not studying mbti right #i just complained about ni doms but i could write why i also love them in two minutes after i post this #ok i'll stop now i'm rambling too much

My twenties are for learning to love all of the 'girly' things I rejected as a teen finally exercising some autonomy

#twenties #todays edition: sundresses. #forgot how much i love them #seven year old me was right theyre fun. theyre cute. and they keep me cooler than a t-shirt #idk teen me hated dresses. i have some scars on one of me legs that i was insecure about and then leg hair and sht #being a teen sucked you had a lil freedom a load more responsibility and hormones and suddenly insecure about so much more #not that being in your twenties magically fixes anything but its just the slow learning process and the distance from childhood that helps #idk im half awake and started thinking about how fun the barbie movie was how i dyed my hair pink after purging the colour from my life #i dont live in jumpers & jeans as much how fun i find tacky earrings are and slowly caring less about the things that bothered me as a teen

[dyketubbo]

i do think oranboo would wear dresses and skirts but i also think that she would still be really pathetic. shes not your sassy but supportive sister figure who magically knows makeup now and does yours for you shes not human and her species doesnt have gender (at MOST if you connect enderians to the ender dragon then she would be. a dragon) so tits would probably be more annoying to her than anything ("why would i choose to have back pain. why shouldnt i just tailor dresses to fit me without weird lumps on my chest") shes probably not going to be very nice at all really

no in my mind oranboo has just decided that now that shes a girl shes TWICE as better than everyone. shes still a weirdo who lives in a cave and cant go out in the rain not because it would ruin her makeup but because itll literally kill her. ranboo not being on the server is actually just oranboo going mining to try and get rich again. shes still a spoiled brat but now shes a spoiled brat of a PRINCESS and really her connection to the ender dragon makes her THRICE as cool and better than everyone else, actually. she mutters to herself and probably always has dirty hands because ender but she doesnt have silk touch.

transitioning didnt make oranboo go from a manloser to a #girlboss #slay #baddie who pinches your cheeks and teases you but means well. shes just a womanloser now who does wear dresses and heels but the heels are so it hurts more when she steps on your foot to get you to drop something and then pretends it wasnt her and even if it was you deserved it actually because that was hers? its in her hands so its hers now. she probably stole the gender too

#o!ranboo #origins smp #osmp #ranboo #mask mews #me: yknow it does suck that theres so little variety in hcs for oranboo. wait. i can be the change i want in this world #she only grows out her hair a little (if she even has hair) and she doesnt paint her claws but she DOES file them to be sharper #she hates how makeup feels and either way beau is probably the only member who does wear makeup anyways #so she wouldnt really think its a girl thing she would probably think its a beau thing #(shubble is a phantling who probably has rough skin and niki is. underwater. so) #(they COULD. but it might not process as something they put on themselves every day) #she does however wear even more jewelry #she already did. but shes wearing more now #she puts on makeup for fancy events if they even have those and gets frustrated bc she doesnt actually know how #so she ends up getting help and then pretends like she had done it all on her own anyways #do you see my vision. do you understand #she gets a bit more feminine sure but shes still a loser who chose to live in a cave and probably got told to leave her homeland #bc she was being a brat #she hasnt learned she just heard shubble niki and beau be referred to as the girls of the server or whatever #and was like whats that. i dont know what that is but i want it? i want to be girl? #and after a long attempt at getting her to understand gender shes like. hm #well this all sounds really complicated but im still stealing the girl thing thanks

Nearly had a heart attack when you said you had a crush on Raimundo because I thought you meant this guy 😭😭😭😭

Also yeah, I feel like some movies are more famous/adored here than in the USA because of the br dub tbh lol, guess this can also be true with spanish dubs (latin language rules fr)

SDLFKJF LMFAOOOOO i don't know who that is but i love that outfit

i meant this guy

i had the biggest crush on him when i was, like, seven - idk when it aired lmfao i was convinced i was going to move to brazil to marry him frfr

it's like how people lose their minds over king of the hill in japan too. they all argue if you should watch subbed or dubbed (like some knuckleheads argue about anime here) languages are just so fascinating fr. i want to know all of them ;a;

#spanish is the fourth language i learned behind english sign language and french ope #i dont really remember french anymore though cause i dont use it oof #but im better at reading and writing spanish than hearing mostly because i just suck a processing anything on the spot lksajd #but i love latin languages frfr #i learned latin for a little bit in middle school #i just really love languages #am answers

He's so bad at the pillow thing

#he doesn't hump things btw #he learned quickly as a teenager that that wasn't something I allowed #he will just keep moving pillows/blankets around like this for ages trying to make them more comfy #only to make them a complete disaster that is totally unusable #so he'll lay down only to realise his creation sucks and then get right back up again to glare at me like i personally sabotaged his process

A little while ago we made the decision to start trying to respond properly to social scripts (like saying "you too" when someone says "have a nice day"), and we knew it wouldn't be easy, it doesn't come naturally to us at all, of course we'd fuck it up a lot. But the fuck ups have turned out to be worse than what we used to do (cutting the script in half basically, having it only be one sided), we have been trying, but the issue is that when we pick up on someone using a script we only ever seem to do it after they've said it, so we only know that a script has been used, not which one, meaning we have no clue what was said or what to respond with, and we have to decide what to respond with IMMEDIATELY so with barely a second to work with we have NO chance of guessing it right. Its very upsetting, we don't want to do this, being seen as rude is better than this, we want to go back, its fucking humiliating to mess up that bad that often with no way of fixing the problem, we hate scripts so much, its socially enforced fake bullshit, we want to undo this attempt at progress, but the damage has been done and now we're automatically saying RANDOM SOCIAL SCRIPT RESPONSES and its so fucking upsetting, if we cant get this right can we please just get rid of it, we hate this so much

#its been months #we cant keep this up #we'd rather COMPLETELY SOCIALLY ISOLATE OURSELVES than continue this #its humiliating and with the rsd its literally painful #and we keep being brought back to every time we messed up when we're stressed or reminded that these scripts exist #it hurts so much and we hate it #fucking autism. fucking adhd. fucking auditory processing disorder. #we're not built for this we never should have tried #we dont want to do this anymore #talking sucks. we hate talking. our stutter is already stressful we dont need this shit too. #wish we knew sign (and people we talked to knew sign) #we're not coordinated enough to learn it properly #theres motor control issues and involuntary stims and sometimes we have tics #sign just isnt for us #maybe we should get one of those speech apps that our sister uses - theyre pretty customisable apparently #our sister cant physically talk but doesnt really feel the need to anyway so she rarely actually uses the apps #we probably wouldnt use it all that much either but it would be nice to have an alternative so we didnt feel forced to speak

[rosemirmir]

I think a funny thing about me is how I tend to give off the impression I'm younger than I actually am? Yeah its frustrating at times, but it's also hilarious to jumpscare someone with the fact I remember a time before smartphones existed. (Even if I was still pretty young.)

Or that I'm actually in my mid 20s and not 19 or something. That happened a lot back when I used to go to college. Even though I was in my earlier 20s then, but still it happened pretty often.

I don't know what it is. If it's my face, how I present myself, the autism (well that definitely plays a part) or something else entirely.

But I've learned to laugh at it and use it to humor myself when it happens in very benign situations. Keeps my sanity in check, and also I get a laugh and maybe teach someone something about assuming people's ages in the process.

#being born inbetween the cusp of generations is a trip i tell you. ive been learning to laugh about it during inconsequential moments though #yes it is extremely frustrating especially when its people looking me down or something similar and at times it really sucks #but if someone is just assuming im like 20 instead of 26 (soon to be 27) in a harmless context i can just make it into something funny #ive jumpscared friends and made them go “OH YOU ARE NOT AS YOUNG” even though they know my age lol #at times it can really suck but making humor for myself and flipping someone's perspective of me in the process i do enjoy #ive broadened some horizons by doing that too which is a net good #linky posts

[bandofchimeras]

don't know how to explain to people I love lots I feel constantly bitterly disappointed with how little care or checking in is done in my direction in the connection while also being hyper aware all these motherfuckers are autistic and I often fail in the same way with no ill intent, only burnout or hyperfocus. double standard bruh

#and also that like i dont hold it against them it just hurts in fhe moment and i think it would be better #if they knew that? #i simply feel my needs are unreasonable and unrealistic especially for other neurodivergent folks so #its a constant negotiation #and also i hate being caretaken or over checked #i just dont feel like many of us learn how to be real ans come into the present moment together #with grace and patience #and i do try my best to practice providing that space #but i get so tired #maybe im being self centered #its just a thing i need to unlearn low self worth #like please show me thru action that i am worth your time #or at least your communication about your availability #idk im trying to just let go of bad fits ans focus on the good people but that process is still painful #cPTSD #sucks! #recovery #PDA #pda autism
