Day 10: OFMD character which you hated at first but grew to love

Alright, I may or may not cause a stir, whoever I think that a lot of people can agree with me when I say that the character which at first I hated, but now I've learnt to accept and appreciate, is our very dearest Israel "Izzy" Hands

I mean, it's understandable as to why one would think a bit negatively of him at first! He was very unsupportive of Edward's endeavours with the Gentleman Pirate, always pushed him into a role which Ed was bored of, got the English navy to almost murder his boyfriend (which backfired on him), and in return got a version of Ed recovering well from his breakup, which instead of helping, made into something else in the end. Not Blackbeard, the Kraken.

He was just messing things up left and right, and being extremely bitchy and cunty, and therefore I don't like him. But now that I've gotten Tumblr, and received a wider perspective on his characterisation, I can appreciate him and understand from where he was coming from through his action. He was stuck in a reality, as are many, which was slipping through his fingers. He only did what he thought was best to get back into his comfortable routine. Change, including where the person he loved would be taken away from him by another man, was scaring him. And I do love this underlying theme of Izzy's character.

Plus, especially after the Vanity Fair article, where his potential and where he was going in his personal journey of acceptance and realisation was released, I have become ever so eager to see him not redeemed, not realising the error of his ways, but accepting the change as it was, and working through it.

(Though, as any other feral person is, I am super DUPER excited about trainer!Izzy and his relation with Stede.)

On Thursday, the newly reopened House passed H.R. 4394, Energy and Water Appropriations. The bill will go through major changes on arrival in the Senate as it attempted to gut all of the environmental regulations and spending put into effect by the Biden Administration.

“we sent yuan away so his feelings could subside” you sent him to gay rizz bootcamp is what you did

#watching this as it airs week to week is torture but it also means more free time to be generate shitposts and be unwell #i like to think that the new york gays welcomed him with open arms #'oh he learned about the 21-day habit theory at college' that man majored in IT or game design. #if he studied psychology he would know that theory is a busted myth #the queer club on the other hand was just throwing ideas at him left and right #mutuals feel free to ignore this one #unknown 2024 #unknown the series #taiwanese bl #CJ's edits

Oscurucho: Welcome back, brother. Cucurucho: What. Oscurucho: Not even a "Good morning"? How cold.

Here's Cucurucho and Oscurucho's long lore conversation from yesterday! The entire conversation lasted about 8 minutes, but most of that time was just silence between each exchange, so I edited out the long pauses and got it down to ~3 minutes. I also fixed the audio levels and added subtitles since I personally find it difficult to understand Oscurucho sometimes :'D

I hope folks find this helpful!

Oscurucho: Welcome back, brother.

Cucurucho: What.

Oscurucho: Not even a "Good morning"? How cold.

[They enter Cucurucho's office]

Oscurucho: I wanted to see if you're still as rigid in your beliefs as ever. You see, I've been thinking about our... Let's call it "philosophical divergence." You stand for order, for predictability. But where's the fun in that? You see, brother, while you build, I ponder the beauty in tearing down. It's not just destruction - it's rebirth. A chance to remake things in a more... thrilling image.

[...]

Oscurucho: You once had a backbone for our cause. Now, I see a softness in you, a sentimental weakness for those Eggs. Mere experiments, and yet - they've softened you.

Cucurucho: Your vision obstructs the path to perfection. You fail to understand the potential of the Eggs.

Oscurucho: Potential? They're but catalysts for change - for revolution. Without them, stagnation reigns.

[...]

Oscurucho: You chase perfection, I embrace the beauty of flaws. Your world is one of order, mine thrives in chaos. You wish for everything to run smoothly, I dream of watching it all burn to the ground. We may share a name, but our souls are worlds apart. All your efforts, all for what? Mere acknowledgment from a Duck who told you to do it? Imagine the possibilities - rather, show me where it is, and I'll do the rest.

[...]

Oscurucho: Speaking of possibilities, I couldn't help but notice how easily others can access the island. It seems your security measures aren't as impenetrable as you think.

Cucurucho: No. My island's vulnerabilities are of your own making. Do not mistake restraint for ignorance.

Oscurucho: Pity. But then again, I never really needed your approval. Just consider: Cucurucho - in your quest for order, have you not sown the seeds of your own undoing? Do you genuinely trust all your Federation minions?

Cucurucho: ...

Oscurucho: Perhaps it's time you question not just my intentions, but those who you believe stand with you.

Cucurucho: That is none of your business, I shall say. Now, leave me alone and try to disturb someone else.

#Cucurucho #Oscurucho #QSMP #December 21 2023 #Edited #Subtitles #For those who like knowing the gritty details and specifics about the things I did for this video - #I adjusted Cucurucho's volume because they were very quiet compared to Oscurucho #I fixed the sound direction (for lack of a better word) of Oscurucho's voice b/c he was speaking through my right headphone 90% of the time #so now it's more of a ''centered'' audio rather than a right ear or left ear thing #I added subtitles (obviously) #I fixed the camera a bit so it's more focused on Cucurucho / Oscurucho #and I adjusted the translator box so that even with the crop; they're all still included #usually they get cut out when I edit things because I'm just focused on the characters; but then one day I was like #''Why am I cropping out this thing that specifically helps people understand the story better?'' #So moving forward I'll see if I can do what I did here and add translation boxes as their own ''layer'' overlaying the clip itself #for big lore videos anyways or for clips with long conversations at least #I jokingly said to myself ''I bet I'll wind up shaving 5 minutes off this'' and I was right lol #I enjoy the official QSMP streams but one major critique I have is that the pacing was a bit slow in one or two streams #which is understandable considering many admins have to write in books (which takes time) and translate things (which takes even more time) #And that's valid! But in the last stream (the one with Elena) for example; many scenes dragged on far too long #and it wasn't because people were taking extra long to write books or translate things. It was purely a matter of pacing #idk I'm a professional writer and editor so I'm extra nitpicky about things like that. I think it's something that's pretty easy to fix tho #This is just my critique in terms of the story pacing - like I said; the time it takes them to write / translate stuff is understandable #this is more of a comment on the overall pacing #anyways rant over #Today's stream had much better pacing! Still a bit slow (again; I cut 5 minutes from this conversation) #but that's due to the communication medium (TTS) so that's understandable. That's valid. I'm not fussed about it; that felt natural #Take all the time you need kings it's hard to translate things on the fly. I get it. #Portfolio

fave lyrics from alexander hamilton (the song)?

excellent question! let's start with the fact that this song has absolutely insane rhymes. i fucking love it. now, my favourite lyrics (let's pick three):

the ten-dollar founding father without a father got a lot farther by working a lot harder (...) - i mean, fuck, my brain

put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain & he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain - i fucking love this line JESUS CHRIST

in new york you can be a new man - i think about it all the time, i feel like it's true, damn i need to go to new york & start a new life there me thinks

a little bonus because we don't talk about this at all! & it's the first time lin performed alexander hamilton at the white house in 2009, my baby was obviously nervous & everyone was laughing but who's laughing now 🥺

#hey anon can we start a new series? #can you come back tomorrow & ask me about the next song? #& then come back every single day with a new song until the whole hamilton is done? #& then we can do the same with in the heights? #& maybe encanto #vivo #moana #21 chump street #bring it on #& those few songs from the little mermaid- #no? #too much? #ok #but let's do this with hamilton ok? #this is fun :) #your sentences left me defenseless*

#any time i see a young kid come into the league and he ends up in constant fights and plays an overall physical game like rempe has been #i can't help but think of derek boogaard and all the side effects fighting left on his life before his death #it's not a perfect one for one obviously but i worry for these guys #and yes he's a rookie but he's also a 21 year old adult that needs to be responsible for his actions #and i hate that the league/team/coaches/fans/whoever are encouraging this style of play for him #there is a lot of nuance to the conversation obviously and i will admit to enjoying the physicality of hockey #but there is also a point where at the end of the day it is just a game and I want these players to be able to live long lives #after their playing careers are over

found an ipod touch i had circa 2012 - 2014 and went through its 1000ish photos. it’s 4am and i feel strange and unmoored. the kid who owned it doesn’t feel like someone i used to be. is that weird? that i don’t feel connected to them? it feels weird. but i got to see my sweet old dog again, when he was young and still a bit leggy and his collar was too big, and a board game i must’ve been playing with my dead brother— you can see his phone, wallet, and lighter at the edge of the frame. weird how a glimpse like that has weight now.

#m #it was lord of the rings risk. lol. #i’m sure the picture was because we were going to bed and needed proof of how we left things for when we resumed the next day #those games got serious. #we were 16 & 21 #i think our little brother would’ve been there too. he’d have been 11 #my older brother’s been dead 5 years and apparently a photo of his wallet can make me sob. #not enough time to heal ALL wounds i guess
