i get a sense that a lot of heroes think they are villains too tho lol
Agreed, and I would argue that this supports my argument, that kindness is separate from morality. There are many "heroes" who do unkind things for the "greater good." To bring this back to SHC, how we decide who is a hero or a villain is more telling than whether or not kindness is a keystone of our morality system.

Would anyone want more Spanish-learning posts from me? I keep a Spanish language notebook where I keep notes just for my own reference (including all my notes from class). Depending on how diligently I'm watching a show, I'll try to compile vocabulary lists like the one above, which is basically new (to me) words I've picked up. This list encompasses Season 1 of the Desperate Housewives. It seems like more people are either using Duolingo, or have some increased interest in learning a second language so I figure it might be helpful. Let me know!

anyone else fondly think of the saying that if your necklace clasp winds up at the front instead of staying at the back of your neck it means someone is thinking of you. because I 10000% do I think it is extraordinarily precious and charming

something about how female characters who are fighters are often characterized by the fandom as unhinged, chaotic, mean, aggressive, etc. even when, canonically, they're none of those things. and if they aren't any of those thing, then they're considered boring, uninteresting, etc.

obsessed with battle of the bands, something americans made up for high school movies about underdogs and friends who are growing in different directions and need some final high-stress situation to be able to speak to each other about it. its perfect. theres absolutely no way it exists in real life. its like narnia to me.

Memory, cover by Zhou Shen on Super Vocal (2018)
Translation below the cut if you need it, but if you can understand or read Mandarin Chinese I highly highly recommend watching this all the way through.
I didn’t see it coming, so my first time hearing the part starting from 3:59 was an Experience. An experience I would really love to share! So... here is the Chinese version of the last two verses that Zhou Shen adapted himself. 
This was supposed to be from Grizabella’s perspective, but I think it is also Shenshen’s and ours as well. Ah, it resonates hard with me anyway. 
我像一片落叶飘零 wǒ xiàng yī piàn luò yè piāo líng I, like a fallen leaf adrift on the wind,
只有回不去的曾经 zhǐ yǒu huí bù qù de céng jīng have only a past to which there is no return.
仿佛早晨田间一朵野花 fǎng fú zǎo chén tián jiān yī duǒ yě huā As if it were a wildflower in the fields from the morning,
这记忆也在凋零 zhè jì yì yě zài diāo líng this memory is withering too.
请你 qǐng nǐ Please,
一点点向我靠近 yī diǎn diǎn xiàng wǒ kào jìn little by little, come close to me;
哪怕一步的距离 nǎ pà yī bù de jù lí even the distance of one step,
留我在孤单里 liú wǒ zài gū dān lǐ leaves me in this loneliness.
只要你愿意 zhǐ yào nǐ yuàn yì So long as you are willing,
你也会感到我的真心 nǐ yě huì gǎn dào wǒ de zhēn xīn you can feel my heart too.
看 那晨光 kàn   nà chén guāng Look - the light of dawn
已来临 yǐ lái lín has come.
Original English Verses:
Sunlight through the trees in summer Endless masquerading Like a flower, as the dawn is breaking The memory is fading
It's so easy to leave me All alone with my memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is Look, a new day has begun

kind of wish my way of coping with morbid things wasn't to expose myself to them until I become desensitised lol
#saw an iceberg for deaths caught on camera and was like. wow there is a LOT of information to look into and take in and none of it#is going to be nice. maybe i should leave and forget I've ever seen this#but no like obviously now i have no choice but to read in depth about every single death on there#bc i know if i ignore it i'll be thinking about it for longer#this was like with threads bc when i first heard a bit about it i was like. that sounds horrible. and i have a dissertation due in a few#weeks so like. i do Not need this on my mind right now#but that didn't do anything so in the end i had to watch it to get it out of my system#and then i guess it sort of worked bc?? now me and threads are besties#fav comfort film of all time. would recommend to everyone#okay not that. but genuinely i forget how bad i felt when i first read about it and now i think about scenes from it like 😐#is that healthy. probably not. anyway#also at the start of this year i was obsessed with kaylea titford's death and then not long after that shafilea ahmed's as well#that era feels so far away even though it was only like 8 months ago#but like e.g. with the shafilea ahmed thing i'm at the stage now where if it comes into my head i can easily push it away#but i could not do that back in february i literally wouldn't be able to sleep until i'd found out every single bit of information#oh god it's nearly the 20th anniversary of that isn't it#but yeah anyway it's like once you show me something morbid. even just a glimpse of it. that's it there's no going back#i will Not Stop until i know everything there is to know about it. and then it'll be on my mind for weeks until i stop feeling anything#and then i'll forget about it#i remember as kids me and my sister would sometimes see An Image on the unfiltered 2000s internet#like that one pic of the chupacabra that's obviously not real but like as a kid it's terrifying#and my sister's response would've been to close it and never look at it or think about it again#and i remember my parents wouldn't allow me to talk about chupacabras in front of my sister#which waS SO HARD bc my response to it was to hyperfixate#and the image creeped me out so to get rid of it i would look at it like everyday until i didn't feel anything anymore#and then me and the chupacabra image were besties <3 and I'd make jokes about it#idk what the point of this post is I've basically just told the same story three times#and there will soon be a fourth. once i watch this video going through the deaths caught on camera iceberg#which i am not going to do now bc it's 00:35 and if i don't sleep now i never will#ramble

#some Things#in no particular order and of no particular importance#but posted here to get them out of my head so that I can focus on other stuff (and so that I have a record of them for later):#1) I spent an hour this morning taking various ASD/autistic traits tests and consistently scored just above the threshold on all of them#this doesn't really tell me anything new#except that I'm probably not faking it or just trying to make myself feel 'special' whenever I feel like I'm not myself#and have to put a lot of effort into Being Normal in public settings#almost all of the tests had a strong emphasis on masking and social competency skills and that's where I was scoring highest#I suspect that this only further confirms my suspicions that I am neurodivergent (prob ADHD) and due to my educational style#and the setting and circumstances of most of my childhood development years#did not realize that I was Odd until very recently#2) I just discovered that the lead pastor of the church attended by a theologian/apologist/bible teacher who I really respect#and enjoy learning from#got his first degree from the uni I want to attend#this also means nothing. but it was a fun discovery.#I have heard that the school has changed a good bit since the time he would've graduated#in ways that I'm not sure I can judge as fully Good or Bad.#but it's encouraging to know that it has a history and a name out there that's mostly a good one#...I feel like there is at least one more Thing I am forgetting to mention but I cannot remember it at the mo so I will return and add it#if I do happen to remember it later on#personal

LISTEN to this cover of an old MTV mashup of Toxic and Faint sung by utaite fuku_wa NOW
youtube
#fukuwas been around for over 15 years doing his thing. wild to think about#but holy shit i hadnt check up on his covers in a while. but recently he did this one#and it blows my mind. i put it in a playlist that i forgot what i had in it (i make really large playlists and play em on shuffle LOL)#and when i heard the first part i was like ah yes faint i like this song i like the weird strings. only half paying attention.#and it wasnt until we got to the toxic chorus and i was like WAIT THATS NOT MIKE#really good impression of mike's. like. cadence? his flow!!!!!!! if ur not being distracted by the faint strings like i was#their voices have slight diff timbres plus different accents but like he had the flow down PERFECT#and in the choruses he gets chesters cadence and timbre wonderfully too especially in the part near the end of the bridge#the sort of inhaling growl in 'dont turn your back on me' was spot on#his voice is a little more broken in his screams and more melodic in the softer parts than chesters more like. fuller sound?#sorry for the random voice analyses. i am not a professional i just think like this LOL#but yeah blowing my mind. fuku_wa has always had a really versatile voice with a lot of control (LOVED his cover of two faced lovers)#(when i was a kid! its still probably my fav version of that song) but MAN i had to check to screen to make sure i didnt acidentally fall#into another universe where faint had the lyrics of toxic normally. i was so scared and confused. i like to do this#i like to scare myself by putting mashups and their source songs in the same playlists and forget about it. keeps me on my toes#Youtube
