#rl ramblings

[tiergan-vashir]

I was able to dodge crypto bullshit with the last tech hype train, but AI is so pervasive and the chance to make lots of money exploiting regular people is so high that its inescapable this time.

I used to think that if I ever got sick of writing code, I could go back to my previous job being a professional artist but... you know.

I guess now I am just doing my best to numb my soul and maybe keep an eye out for a recruiter email that doesn't have something to do with AI in it while waiting for the moment where my incandescent rage breaks past my crippling financial anxiety/generational trauma and I run away into the woods or join a non-profit or progressive political campaign.

Have been worried that I'd made a huge mistake with this career change; no way I have the experience needed to do this well. No way they actually hired someone whose never been a technician to run around the state helping technicians diagnose "difficult" cars. Riding along with another advisor last week, I felt like I was back in my first days at [College] when I knew absolutely nothing about cars, felt completely lost, and had gone into the major on nothing more than a vague hunch that it would be a good fit. Then again, I legit spent the last two hours voluntarily reading case studies on a forum recommended by a Diagnostic Shop's youtube channel that I've been subscribed to for years, and geeking out over it. Like, "almost sent one of my professors a screen grab of the data feeds in a thread cuz it made me think of his class and I was proud of myself for seeing what the OP saw before he revealed the issue" geeking out.

Maybe I just need to trust that I'll grow into the position just like I grew into the major.

Soap who hates his anger issues so he tries to tamp them down, but that just causes them to explode out at a later time. Which in turn makes him angrier because why can't he just be more docile. Why does he have to be so violent ALL THE DAMN TIME.

#angry soap my beloved #he doesn't know how to stop #and i don't think I want him to #there's definitely a psychological reason why I love angry soap so much even though rl anger scares me #but we don't have to unpack ALL of that #john soap mactavish #soap mactavish #john mactavish #soap #soap cod #soap call of duty #soap mw2 #soap mwii #el rambles #call of duty #cod #cod mw2 #could I make this ghoap? #easily #do we want this ghoap? #up to you. but you have to find these tags first

Thinky Life Series Thoughts: Martyn's Betrayal

I cannot stress enough how much this is about characters as parts of a narrative and not about the real life humans other than the initial meta setup.

So all the way back in Third Life, InTheLittleWood's plan was to ultimately betray Ren and Dogwarts, he just never got the chance, they died first. In Last Life he tried, by luring Ren into a trap in the final confrontation moments, but Scott killed him before he could do so effectively. Double Life Ren died early on to Grian's dripstone, long before the potential for a betryal even really existed, this is the series where they were least aligned with each other.

And Limited Life Ren was absent and Martyn finally got his betrayal.

And I am just really, really glad because, from a narrative perception, i think it is so much better that it was Scott he betrayed rather than Ren. Because Scott wouldn’t have it any other way and I really do think that kind of betrayal would break Ren's heart.

Hi hi!

I am still here dreaming of the sims everyday. My baby is almost 3 months old already 🥺 He is such a good baby, he smiles and smiles and rarely cries. He is already grabbing things with his hands and he loves to babble back to us. I spent years of my life searching for a "true love" and I have finally found it in my son. Having a child is truly the best thing to ever happen to me.

But anyways! We bought a house! It is brand new, not even finished construction yet. We are moving in May, and I am hoping to get back into streaming/youtube/etc again since I will have an actual office. 😊

So grateful for this life. Hugs to you all 💙

At the time of writing this, I'm very sleepy, but consider this a "Joan's late night thought" post (It's around 11pm where I'm at).

As my rping career gets more mature I've realized I started to care less about basic stuff like being "ooc" or focused on follower counts or blog aesthetics or trying to get along with everyone's muses on tumblr bc that's nigh impossible. I'm so lazy my theme/rules/graphics are the bare minimum or 90% are copy-pasted from my other blogs or recycled.

Instead, what's more important to me now is *how* I write my replies/threads. Have I cramped too much information in one reply and have made it difficult for rp partners to make their next reply focus on one single direction? Do I leave enough information in one reply to allow my rp partners to continue the thread based on it? Have I picked the best word choices that suit my muse? (Particularly for Jade, he always uses polite forms of every word. So he rarely swears, but here's the fun part. There are ways to make him cuss and still appear faithful to the canon character, but that's EXACTLY a writer's job to make that work even if he never swore on screen to reference from). If we've plotted, did my reply push the plot forward or was it just beating around the bush? Did 10 paragraphs of writing successfully convey what I wanted to show/tell the reader or were they just ramblings that only had a vague meaning of the message I wanted to bring -

I feel that shifting my priority to these concerns rather than the other aspects of rp has made writing really enjoyable for me again (that I haven't felt in years bc I was too caught up with restricting my muse since I tend to have a preference to really stick to the source material, 99% of the times I only write canons, the other "phase" was being too focus on making the writing pretty, but using the right words which doesn't always have to be difficult is far more important than pretty writing) but I can't believe it took me this long to realize that this is not what rp is about.

#𖦹 ⋆꙳ ⁄ ooc. #// im rambling rn but i've really been thinking about these questions a lot and trying to fix my writing through them #// its so fun to pick and dissect how a reply doesn't feel right #// and im v grateful for everyone writing with me bc you give me the chance to perform these experiments on my writing #// I've never been a writer anywhere in rl or in any jobs so it's actually super fun for me as a hobby #// now it's sleep time for me ~
